Summary:
Luffy, Nami, Usopp, Brook, Camie, and Pappag travel with King Neptune to Ryugu’s palace. Meanwhile, Caribou is freed from the barrel by a curious Ihilly, Fillonce, and another mermaid and kidnapped by Caribou via his Numa Numa no Mi powers, causing the Straw Hats to be blamed for the kidnapping. On the way to Ryugu’s palace, Nami explains how she, Franky, and Nico Robin broke up. After reaching the palace, Luffy wanders in search of food and encounters the giant mermaid princess Shirahoshi.
The episode opens with a flashback showing Ihilly and her friends being captured by the Caribou. The flashback ends with Caribou saying how he should thank the Straw Hats for taking him to “Treasure Island”. Back in the presence, Fukaboshi and his brothers, along with their guards, talk to Madam Shyarly about her prediction. After discussing the matter with some of the Fish-Man islanders, Fukaboshi decides to find and take the Straw Hats into custody. Meanwhile, the Straw Hats and their friends argue with each other and King Neptune.
Eventually, Neptune tells them that their swordsman Zoro (however, the king mispronounces his name, causing Usopp and Nami to correct him and almost fall off Megalo) arrived at Ryugu’s palace ahead of them and that he rudely asked for some sake. drink while waiting for your crew. Luffy, after Nami and Usopp almost fell off the Megalo, asks Nami where Franky and Robin are. Nami replies that Franky is looking for the relatives of his old shipmaster Tom, he wants to tell the family how much Tom meant to him. Robin replied that she was going to find some information about the history of Fish-Man Island and maybe something related to Poneglyphs. After the flashback ends, the group enters the palace and is blown away by its beauty. Upon entering, everyone (mostly the king) is greeted by a line of guards. The King then tells the Straw Hats to enjoy themselves, but a voice scolds Neptune for going out without an escort. Everyone is in shock as they watch the king being vilified. Neptune tells the voice, who turns out to be one of Neptune’s ministers, that he brought the straw hats to the banquet and asks if his daughter, Princess Shirahoshi, is alright.
The two ministers then tell him that “it” has happened again, Neptune raises his voice and tells them how important it is to keep the princess calm, leading to Neptune being gifted again. The minister of the left then tells the king that there is a message from his son Fukaboshi, the minister then notes how important it is. During all the commotion, Luffy sneaks away and follows the smell of food in the distance. Eventually they arrive at a large door into which a guard places two large carts full of food. Luffy sneaks past the guard, which is easy since the guard is much bigger than him, and opens the large door to the room. Luffy tries to use his nose to guide him around the dark room to find food, but as he goes to eat, he ends up on what he thinks is coral. He notes that practically everything on Fish-Man Island is made of coral and precedes jumping on the “coral”, noting how it looks like pudding.
A voice is heard and a light goes on, Luffy, after falling from the “coral”, then he sees a mermaid princess who is much bigger than him, and it turns out that the “soft coral” Luffy was curiously playing with and touching. in fact, her breasts were large. Luffy then comments on the size of the mermaids while the princess questions what Luffy was doing on her body. Shirahoshi then asks if Luffy is here to kill her like all the other assassins. She makes a futile attempt to scare Luffy by telling him who she is related to, but ends up crying. As Luffy fights back tears, the episode ends with Luffy commenting on the princess’s attitude.
