People: The Noah... didn't crash into Fishman Island!!! // ...............!! // The Princess drew the danger away for our sakes!!! // Oh, Princess Shirahoshi~~~~!! Run for your life~~~~!!!
Decken: Where are you going, Shirahoshi?!!! Bahohoh!!! // There's nowhere to hide!!!
Shirahoshi: *pant* // *pant*
People: Princess~~~~~~~!!!
Shirahoshi: I have to get out into the open water, or the island's bubble will burst.........!!!

Shirahoshi: The Main Entrance is too far away...the bubble would be horribly damaged before I could possibly reach it!! / *pant*
[Labels: Noah // Shirahoshi // Main Entrance]
Shirahoshi: ......I know! / The last people to leave Ryuuguu Palace were Luffy-sama's friends, so...!
People: Is there nothing we can do?! // The Princess of our kingdom is risking her life for us!! // It's not her fault that any of this happened!! // Decken's on that ship!! And Hody's gone up there too!! // Princess Shirahoshi is in terrible danger!!!
Hody: .................. / *pant* // *pant* // *pant* // *pant*...

Jimbei: Luffy!! Be careful of Hody!! / His fishman strength will be on a whole different level up there in the ocean!!!
Luffy: Right!!
Sanji: I can't send him flying out into the open water...!! I have to get this just right... Not too strong, not too weak... // Armée de l'Air... // Gomu Shoot!!!
Luffy: Haaahhhhhh!!

5
Luffy: Unghh!! // Guehhh!!! // *pant* // *pant* // Whoaaaaaa~~!! This is one big chain!! // Where am I...? In between the two bubbles?!
[Labels: Luffy's position // Shirahoshi // Hody]
Luffy: Ahh!! Hody's still down there below the bubble! // Hm?!

6
People: Everybody pull!! Even if we can't stop it... // We have to slow this ship down as much as we can...!!! // It may achieve next to nothing, but we have to do what we can!!! // So pull~~~~~~!!! // Don't let the Noah go after her~~~!!! // Princess, you have to get yourself somewhere safe from harm!!!

7
People: Pull~~~~!! // Pull~~~~~!! // Protect the Princess~~~~!!!
Shirahoshi: ...*pant*...*pant*... Everyone......!!!
Hody: Are they completely insane...? / As though they could move this ship a single millimetre...
Luffy: ?! // Hey!!! // STOP THAT~~~~~~~!!!
Hody: Yabusame!!!
People: Huh?!

8
People: Nguahhhhhh!!! // Aaaarghhhhhh!!! // Aaaahhhhhhh~~~~!!!
Hody: Worthless pieces of filth......!!! / It's thanks to idiots like you that the humans look down on our kind!!!
Shirahoshi: ......!!! Everyone!!! ......!!! *pant*...*pant*...
Luffy: Why, that dirty...!!!
Shirahoshi: !! // I knew it!! The gate into the Palace is wide open!!

9
People: Hey - hang in there!! // Princess Shirahoshi just... // She slipped through the stretched-out Connecting Way and out into open water!! // And the Noah's following her!!! // Princess, run as far away as you can~~~~!!
Shirahoshi: *pant*... *pant*...

10
Luffy: Whoaahh!! We're going up!! // Ulgbmnhh... // ...............!! // Pfhuaaaaahhh!! That was close!! // Hey!! Get back here, chain!!

11
Hody: Out in the open water, with nothing but ocean all around you...
Luffy: ?!
Hody: A pathetic human, who cannot even breathe beneath the waves.
Luffy: !!!
Hody: And you hope to become King of these waters?! Hah!! // Beg for mercy, inferior being!!!
Decken: Bahohohohoh~~~~~!♪ // Shi~~~ra~~~ho~~~shi~~~!♪
Shirahoshi: ...............!!

12
Decken: How're you liking your freedom?! The walls of Shell Tower that protected you for ten long years won't help you here!!! // So which will it be?!! Will you die from blood loss as the life spurts forth from your wounds?!! Or will this mighty ship crush you first?!!! // I'll give you one last chance right now, Shirahoshi!!! // Say yes, and I'll save you from certain death!! / So marry me~~~~~~~~~~~~!!! // Shirahoshi~~~~~~~!!
Shirahoshi: I'm terribly sorry, Decken-sama, but... // You're just not my - !!!
Decken: ?!!

13
Mamboshi: If you think we're gonna let you marry Shirahoshi, you've got another thing coming!!!
Ryuuboshi: Shirahoshi is our beloved sister!! You are not laying a single finger on her, Decken!!!
Shirahoshi: Mamboshi-oniisama!! Ryuuboshi-oniisama!! Hoe-sama!!
Hoe: HOE~~~~~~LL!!
Decken: Bahohhhhh~~~~~~?! My brothers-in-law~~~!!!
Princes: Like hell we are!!!
Decken: How dare you interrupt just as Shirahoshi was about to give me her answer~~!!!
Shirahoshi: Uwaaaaa~~~~~~~~hhhhh!! Mamboshi-oniisama, Ryuuboshi-oniisama~~~!! / All the people from down in the plaza... They were trying to save me, and...!!
Ryuuboshi: Shirahoshi!! Save the crying for later!!
Shirahoshi: ! / A - Are you...angry...? Uwaahhhh~~~!
Ryuuboshi: We're not angry!! // According to our father... The Noah must absolutely not be harmed in any way-fa-so-la-ti-do!! // As such!! We must ensure that it returns to the ocean floor without colliding with anything!!

14-15
Mamboshi: Here it comes!! Whoaaa!!!
People: ?!!
Mamboshi: This isn't good......!! At any rate, we need to keep our course away from any undersea mountains or trenches!! // We can't lead the ship into such places!!!
Shirahoshi: But then where should we run, Mamboshi-oniisama?!!
Mamboshi: We must go up!!! There are too many dangerous obstacles here on the ocean floor!!
Ryuuboshi: It's time we took care of that Decken!!!
Hody: ............ // You can't run from me, Straw Hat!!!
Luffy: Thanks for this! You really saved me!! Are you all right, though?!
Fukaboshi: This is no time to be worrying about my wounds......!! *pant*...

16
Hody: Kirisame.
[TN: Conventionally, "light rain", but here more likely "slicing shark"]
Luffy: ! // Ahhh!!!

17
Luffy: !!! // Hey, take me to the deck of the ship where I can fight!! / I want to beat up that Hody and the other guy who throws stuff!! // When I left that tower with Cry-hoshi, I promised I was going to protect her!!
Flashback!Fukaboshi: We three brothers will become great warriors, just like our father...!! / And as we promised you, we will protect Shirahoshi with our lives!!!
Fukaboshi: You promised to protect her? Well, so did we...!! // I feel deeply ashamed that a mere drug was enough to prevent us from standing up to that common thug!! // And you, Straw Hat... We owe you our deepest apologies. We should never have doubted you......!!
Luffy: Don't worry about that! Just take me to the deck!

18-19
Hody: You have business on the deck? Then I'll wait for you there!
Fukaboshi: ......?! Hody...
Shirahoshi: *pant* / *pant* // (Upwards... I must swim upwards...)
Decken: Hmmm?
Hody: .........
Decken: Ahhh... Why, if it isn't Hody Jones!! Bahohohoh!! // How did things go with Neptune?! Is he dead?! // I'm just taking care of Shirahoshi now with this ship. / Don't you think it's a wonderful idea?! // Well, my brother in arms?!! // ?!!
Hody: What will happen to this ship...
Decken: Aaa......hhh...?!!
Hody: ...with you dead and gone? Well, Decken?
