[Box: Fishman Island, Coral Hill]
Chopper: Hey, Sanji~~~~~~~~~!! / Why did you beat up all the soldiers?!!
Sanji: Ughhh... These guys were our ticket to the Royal Palace... / ...but then they had to start trying to handcuff us......
Chopper: Look around!! Everyone's staring at us with cold eyes!! Colder than a deep-sea fish!!
Sanji: Oh, shut up!! There's nothing I can do about it now, is there?!!
Chopper: Try thinking about that before you do it!!
Sanji: You took out half of 'em yourself, didn't you?!! With that Kung Fu stuff!!! / That was actually kind of impressive...
Chopper: Th - That doesn't make me happy at all, you idiot~!♡
Someone: Aaaahhhhhhh~~~~~~~~~~~~~!!!
Sanji: The voice of a lady~~~!♡
People: Someone's coming from the shore... covered in blood...!!! // Aahhhhhhh!!! // You... You're from the Fishman District, aren't you?! What happened?!! // !!! // Someone call a doctor~~~~!!
Chopper: Hm? // Hm?? // I'm a doctor!

Chopper: Hey, Hachi~~~~~~~!! It's us~~!! // What happened?!! Why are you covered in wounds?!!!
Hachi: .........Ahhh... // It's you......... I'm glad I found you... / Is Straw Hat here.........?
Sanji: He's not with us right now!! Hang on a minute - we'll fix you right up!

[Box: A few hours ago - Fishman District, "Noah"]
Decken: Listen up, allies of Hordy Jones!!! / Listen and rejoice!! Because you all get to be a part of this historic operation!!
Pirates: .........Vander Decken...? / As in, the Captain of the Flying Dutchman...?!
Decken: Bahohohoh!! Don't you worry... I'm his descendant!! Not some kind of ghost......!! / But I am cursed, just like my ancestor!! // I'm a fishman who can't swim...! But this "Mato Mato" curse has also granted me a demonic power!! / Allow me to demonstrate......!! // Let's see... how about you?! Human! Step forward!
SomeGuy: Eh...?
Hachi: Hordy!!!
Jones: !
Decken: ?!

8
Hachi: Nyuuu~~~!! Are you serious about this?! / Stop this crazy talk!!
People: It's Hachi-san! // It's Hacchan-san!!
Jones: .........Hachi-san.........
Hachi: Energy Steroids are good for nothing but self-destruction! // And why would a fishman want to destroy Fishman Island?! / Don't underestimate the Great Warrior Neptune!!
Jones: Hachi-san.........!! Would you please spare me your whining...? // I'm tired of hearing your opinion. / It's hard to believe you were once a member of the Arlong Pirates I so admired... / You've grown soft...!! It's time for a new generation to take over...!! // We're going to put the humans in their place. For that, we need Fishman Island, and Neptune is in our way!! / It was your crew who preached that our race stands above all others!!
Hachi: But Arlong-san was defeated!!! Nyuuuu... Decken!! Hyouzou!! Are even you going to listen to this madness?!! / You never responded when Arlong called for your help!! / Why are you helping these young fools?!!!

9
Hyouzou: Helping? We've been hired, that's all. They pay us well... // *hic* // Arlong was always too tight with his cash. He never made us the right offer... / You've never had a hope of matching me, ever since you were a kid... // I felt sorry for Arlong, having to make do with a swordsman of your level...
Decken: Bahohohoh!! Hachi of the Arlong Pirates~~~~?! Now that's a name I haven't heard in a while~~~!! / That Captain of yours tried to make me one of his own minions!! The nerve of it all!! // I don't serve under anyone but myself!!! Hordy's the kind of man who understands that!!
Jones: .........Arlong-san had an ambition and drive that were worthy of respect...... But he was too barbaric. He didn't have enough cunning... / Back in the days when your crew were storming the seas, we were still kids. We weren't ready to become pirates, no matter how we might have wanted to. // But now, our generation is ready to take action. / So I'd watch my words if I were you... Don't get in the way of progress. // I am the man who has inherited the will of the Arlong Pirates......!! And it just breaks my heart... / ...to see a former member of that glorious crew objecting to my grand scheme...!!! // Why, from what I hear, the man who crushed the dreams of your old crew, Straw Hat Luffy... / ...is on Fishman Island as we speak...! Doesn't that stir anything in you?!
Hachi: Straw Hat Luffy called me his friend, despite the crew to which I once belonged...
Jones: !
Hachi: In fact, I owe him my life!! I would go to meet him right away...

10
Hachi: ...but how could I face him in the knowledge... / ...that Arlong's will still lives on?!!!
Jones: You call a human your friend...? You're as bad as that filth Neptune... / I've lost all the respect I ever had for you!!!
Decken: Lock On. You're in my sights now, Hachi...
Hachi: ?!
Decken: Bahohohoh... Have you forgotten what it means to be a pirate? / If you've got a problem with us, we settle it through violence!! I know it!! // Hup!
People: Huh? // A knife?
Hachi: !! // Arghhh!!

11
People: What?!! He threw the knife in a completely different direction... // ...but it landed straight in the octopus' back!!!
Decken: ...From the moment I touched you just now, you became my "target". / Any projectile I let fly, no matter what direction I throw it... // ...will soar like a bird straight towards my target - you!!!
Hachi: ?!! // .........!! The "Mato Mato Curse"...!!!
Decken: Naturally, there are ways to block it. / Why don't you give it a try?
Hachi: Nyuuuu~~~~~~~?!! // Stop!! All those arrows...!! // I've heard rumours of that ability of yours!! / Hordy!! Decken's going to kill me!! // You have to stop him!!!
Jones: I told you already, Hachi-san. / Vander Decken isn't my subordinate. / The two of us are equals in this pirate alliance.
Hachi: !!!
Jones: And besides... // I'm sick of having to look at your face!! / You filthy coward!!!
Hachi: ?!!

12
Hachi: Ughh......!! Nyuuuuu~~~~~~!!!
Decken: Off you go!! // Fly~~~~~~!!!
Jones: Jahahahahahah!!
Decken: Bahohohohohoh!!!
Hachi: ?!!
Decken: That's beautiful!! Run!! Run all you like!! // But no matter how far you go.........!!! // No matter where you run...... // ...they'll never stop chasing after you!!!!
Hachi: ...............!! // They're still coming...!! // Ughhhh... Even water doesn't slow them down?! // ...............!!! // AAAARRRGHHHHHHHHH~~~~~~~~~~!!!

13
Decken: Bahohohoh.........!! / I can store one target for each of my hands......!! // So, a maximum of two!!! // I haven't even washed this right hand of mine for ten years... / It's still fresh with the memory of the time I touched Shirahoshi, Princess of the Ryuuguu Kingdom!!! // You get it now?! Whether it be love or deadly weapons, whatever I choose to throw will chase my targets to the ends of the earth!!! This is my power!!!
People: Wow~~~~~~~~~~~~~~!!! So that's how he's managed to stalk her for all these years, without ever showing his face or being caught by the Neptune Army!!!
Decken: Bahohohohohohoh!!
People: What an outrageously creepy guy!!! // Cree-py!! // Cree-py!!

14
Jones: ...Well then, my human pirate guests!! You all understand Decken's ability now, do you not......?! / That brings us... to the first stage of our plan......
People: ?!
Jones: The Ryuuguu Palace is said to be impenetrable...... / But one man has succeeded in throwing many things inside its walls for ten long years... / ...and that man is Vander Decken!! // In other words, you're going to be Decken's new weapons... He's going to throw you all straight to where the Mermaid Princess is hiding!! / Though where you'll actually end up is the walls of a formidable tower... // From there, you're to open the Palace gates from within, so we can begin our invasion!!
People: That's crazy... if you throw us in there... // ...we'll just crash into that wall and die!!!
Jones: ......... // Well, yes. // That's why I'm using the lives of you worthless humans!!! / In these waters, you're worth less than slaves!!!
People: ?!!
Jones: Whoever survives the journey is to carry out the mission!! If you succeed, then I will set you free!! / If you refuse, I'll hurl you outside this bubble myself right now, you filthy inferior beings!!!
People: Ehhhh?!!

[Box: Ryuuguu Palace, Northeastern Edge - Outside Shell Tower]
RightMinister: Hurry, Skeleton!! We must report to the King~~~~~!!
Pirates: Hold it~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~!! // *pant*... *pant*... Wait... If we don't open the path into the Palace... // Hordy is going to kill us all...!
RightMinister: Y - Your Majesty~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~!!!
Neptune: ?!!
RightMinister: The Princess has been kidnapped!!! Some unknown individual has removed her from the Tower~~~~~~!!!
Brook: Also, pirates have been raining down on the tower...!!! It's an enemy attack~~~~~!!! We're under attack~~~~~~~~~!!!!
Neptune: Kidnapped, you say~~~~~~~~~?!!! / Shirahoshi is gone...?!! Who is responsible for this~~~~?!!!!
Zoro: An enemy attack at a time like this...? What's up with that...?
Usopp: Why did it have to be now?!! They just had to attack while we're occupying the Palace...!! Wh... Wh... What do we do now?! No!! Wait!! Don't answer that!!
Zoro: We take 'em out.
Usopp: I TOLD YOU NOT TO ANSWER!!!

16
Megalo: RUOHHH~!!
Luffy: Don't you want to get out of the shark now?
Shirahoshi: N... No... I still feel a little safer in here.........
Megalo: RUEOHH...
Luffy: .........So how is it? Being outside for the first time in ten years!
Shirahoshi: ......My heart is beating so fast... I really... shouldn't be doing this...
Luffy: There's nothing wrong with it! You're just going outside! Man, you're so weird sometimes...
Shirahoshi: Would this be what they call... an adventure...?
Luffy: Ahahahah... Yeah... // If it makes your heart race, that's an adventure all right! / So, this "Ocean Forest" you were talking about... what is it? Is there fun stuff there?
Shirahoshi: There is a grave! // I have never been able to visit that grave even once, since it was first erected... / For all these ten long years... I have wanted to visit it, more than anything else...

17
[Box: The Depths / The Ocean Forest]
Jimbei: .................. // .........Ten years already... / It's hard to believe so much time has passed...... // ...since that assassination took place in broad daylight, and shook Fishman Island to its core......!! // ...Long enough for the Princes to grow into fine warriors......... Though Shirahoshi is still locked away in her tower...... // But none of us have forgotten your precious dream... // Queen Otohime...!!!
[Insert text: Jimbei appears...!!]
