[Insert text: Even here, things are not right...]
[Box: A few minutes earlier... // The Ocean Forest]
Den: The whales and fishes... / ...are swimming away from the forest......!! // This is no ordinary phenomenon... Something must be happening on the Island...!!
Hachi: Nyuuu... In a fair fight... I'm sure Jimbei-san and the Strawhats would defeat Hody easily enough...
Caimie: .........
Hachi: But I can't see Hody giving in so easily...!!
Caimie: ......What do you mean?
Hachi: I think this must be...exactly what Boss Ti was afraid of......!!

[Box: Fishman Island]
People: Urgent message from the Minister of the Left!! // All citizens are to be evacuated from the island!!
[Box: Coral Hill]
People: I don't understand what's going on... / ...but there's no doubting that was the Noah that almost crushed our island just now!!! // If by any chance that thing were to come crashing into the island again...!!! / It would be a complete disaster!! // We should do as the Minister says!! // Everybody get out into the open water!! // I've got word direct from the Plaza... / Apparently it was Princess Shirahoshi that stopped the Noah from crashing into the island just now!! // What?!!

3
[Box: Waterwheel Town]
People: You mean Decken was behind this?! // That's what they're saying. // That twisted stalker!! Is there anything he won't do?!!
[Box: Coral Apartments]
People: Who knows when that ship might come hurtling back towards the island?! // Everybody evacuate~~~~~!! // Is it true that Shirahoshi drew the danger away all on her own?! // We can't just run away and save our own hides!!! // Our Princess willingly placed her own life in mortal danger to buy us this time!!! / I hope you're not planning to waste that time doing nothing to help!!! // Ahhh... // EVERYBODY EVACUATE THE ISLAND~~~~!!!

4
LeftMinister: Your Majesty~~~~~~!! // Are you all right~?!!
Neptune: .........
LeftMinister: I must offer my sincerest apologies!! It shames me to have failed to aid you at a time like this...!!
Neptune: No matter. / Did you witness the Noah...?
LeftMinister: Indeed!
Neptune: That ship beginning to move was one thing I could never have foreseen... Curse that madman Decken!! / If it had collided with the island and the Princess, then that truly would have been the end of everything.
LeftMinister: This was all so sudden, we have been struggling to react... / For the moment, we have issued an emergency order for all citizens to evacuate the island.
Neptune: Yes... Very good...
LeftMinister: You must leave as well, Your Majesty!!
Neptune: ..................

5
Neptune: No... // I will await the Princes.
LeftMinister: ?!
RightMinister: ......!! // What in the world...? // What is going on here?!! / I need explanations!! // Where did all these pirates come from?!

6
RightMinister: The Straw Hat Pirates... // Jimbei......!!

7
RightMinister: So the Princess......?! // And Hody... / And Decken......!! // I see, I see...!! // Very well...!! // I have grasped the current situation!! // All men, into the plaza!! / Lend your aid to Jimbei and the Straw Hats!! // With their men taking care of the more powerful enemies, all that remains is a rabble of ruffians!!! // After pointing false accusations at these people and forcing them to protect this country in our place, what dignity have we left to protect?!! // The least we can do is to offer them our full military support!!!
Soldiers: Yes, sir!!
RightMinister: And all civilian observers are to leave this place immediately and evacuate the island!!!

8
Kid: I don't wanna!!!
RightMinister: ! / What is this?!! Women and children especially must hurry to safety!! Quickly, now!!
Kid: Even those human pirates, the Straw Hats, are fighting to protect our island... / We can't just turn around and run away!!
People: I quite agree. We are the ones who begged them for help!! // Though there may be nothing I can do to help, I will at least remain here and share their fate!! // Me too!! // Same here, Minister!!
RightMinister: Ahh... // ...This is no time to be staring in admiration, men!! Get down into the plaza and fight!!
Soldiers: Yessir!!
RightMinister: I entrust you the task of relaying my words!! / Ensure that every man, woman and child in this place has heard my call to evacuate! / Each individual must at least be given the opportunity to head for safety!! // And if you choose to stay regardless, then on your own heads be it!!!

9
Pirates: That's the Neptune Army!! We can take care of them!! // Shoot 'em down!!!
Hammond: Onward, Slave Tank!! // Head for the soldiers!!
Slave: *pant*...... // .........
Hammond: What have we here? / Don't slow the pace!! Bring in a replacement!! // Worthless weakling...

Wadatsumi: 'Cause if I keep my mouth open too long all the air'll come out!! / [aside]hrmp![/aside]
Sanji: The Kraken's still bigger, you know.
Wadatsumi: What?! / [aside]hrmp![/aside] // Den how about now~~~~~~~?!!!

Sanji: Still not as big as the Kraken.
Wadatsumi: What'd you say~~~~?!! // Den how about...
Jimbei: Nico Robin!!
Robin: !
Jimbei: Do you think you can free the human slaves?!
Robin: Are you sure? They have every reason to resent your people...

13
Jimbei: If pirates come at me with weapons, then I will crush them. / But right now, those men are not even human. // I cannot sit by and watch Hody's foul imitations of the Tenryuubito!!
Robin: Very well. Leave it to me.
Jimbei: You have my thanks.
Ikaros: Ikaros Wings!!!

Chopper: Heavy Point!
Dosun: T-Shot!!!
Chopper: Heavy Gong!!!

Dosun: Nnghhh...!! He blocked my Hammer with his bare hands?!
Chopper: Owwww... // I guess I could've picked a better form to face a hammer...
Zoro: Hey, Chopper. // The one form you had that looked pretty human... ain't looking so human any more.
Chopper: Eheheh! I don't mind! // I used to want to be human... but that was just so I could make friends!! // Now, I'd rather be the kind of monster who can help out Luffy!!
Zoro: I see...
Hyouzou: When I see those lovely smiles... I just wanna slice 'em up~~~~~!! Uwiiiiiiiiiiiihh!!
Zoro: .........
