The Path Towards the Sun

A young mermaid with light hair stares in shock, hand near her face, as she exclaims, "THIS SHIP WAS CREATED TO BE PULLED BY US... FOR ME...I" Nearby panels show a massive eye and tiny figures inside a vast structure while voices continue, "...FOR THE DAY YOU WOULD BE BORN. WE HAVE WAITED SO LONG... PRINCESS SHIRAHOSHI..." The scene shifts to enormous sea kings hauling the gigantic Noah ship. Narration and dialogue explain, "...OUR KING IS BORN IN THE FORM OF ONE OF THE MERFOLK. THE REASON IS A MYSTERY. THOUGH WE KNOW NOT WHY, ONCE EVERY HUNDRED YEARS... IS THAT WHY THE NOAH IS SO BIGI THIS IS A DUTY THAT WE HAVE KNOWN OF SINCE TIME LONG PAST....HAVE BEEN OUR TRUE KING FROM THE MOMENT OF YOUR BIRTH. BUT YOU..."

An elderly figure in a top hat stands amid clouds, pondering, "...HOLDS SOME KIND OF SPECIAL MEANING TO THEMI" Other voices react to the arriving horde of sea kings around the Noah: "THAT'S WHAT IT LOOKS LIKE, ANYWAY....A HORDE OF SEA KINGS HAVE SUDDENLY ARRIVED! ALMOST AS THOUGH TRYING TO PROTECT THE NOAH FROM BEING DESTROYED BY LUFFY-SAN... COULD IT BE THAT THE NOAH..." Below, a scarred man shouts, "THE SEA KINGS... I DO BELIEVE SHE IS SPEAKING WITH THE SEA KINGS. INCREDIBLE... YOU DON'T THINK SHIRAHOSHI COULD BE..." A close-up shows the elder declaring, "...TO YOUR POWER THAT COULD EVEN DESTROY THE WORLD...!!!" as another replies, "SO YOU HAVE FINALLY AWAKENED..."

Sea kings continue dragging the massive Noah as a small fish-like creature warns, "YOU SHOULD GO TO HIM. A HUMAN CANNOT SURVIVE IN THE OCEAN DEPTHS..." Shirahoshi cries out in alarm while the bubble around the ship begins to fail. Luffy plummets through the collapsing bubble amid debris and impact effects "ズドドド" as Shirahoshi screams, "LUFFY-SAMA!!!" The sea kings surge forward with powerful strokes "ズバッバッ" while a desperate voice yells, "OH, NO!"

Deep underwater, massive sea creatures react with surprise to distant voices. A large fish wonders, "WAS I IMAGINING THINGS...I" while another mutters "HMMI" Nearby fish discuss the sounds: "IT CAN'T BE...", "HE SEEMED TO NOTICE OUR VOICES.", and "THAT HUMAN WITH THE HAT..." A pirate-like man with a large mustache, captain's hat, and ornate coat shouts upward in shock, "WHO'S THAT MUTTERING OUT THERE IN THESE DEEP WATERSI!!" He turns and yells, "RAYLEIGH!! DID YOU HEAR THOSE VOICES JUST NOW!" Another voice replies, "WHAT ARE YOU TALKING ABOUTI WE'RE IN THE DEPTHS OF THE OCEAN... IT'S DEATHLY QUIET!" A smaller panel shows a ship sinking as fish recall, "I RECALL SOMETHING SIMILAR HAPPENED NOT SO LONG AGO..." and "SO IT DID, SO IT DID..."

The sea creatures continue debating the mysterious voices. One asks, "CAN IT REALLY BE FIXEDI" while another hopes, "I SURE HOPE IT CAN..." A fish notes, "OUR ONLY HOPE IS THE SKILLS OF THAT CLAN... BUT TIMES HAVE CHANGED..." and "BEFORE THE PROMISED TIME COMES..." Large chained sea creatures haul a massive broken ship through the water amid bubbles and debris, with sound effects "ズズッ..." and "!!" Panic erupts as smaller fish scream, "THEY'RE GONNA EAT US ALL UP!!!" and "AAAAA AAGHHH HHH!!!" A wide-eyed man yells, "THEY'RE CARRYING THE NOAH!!!" while another cries, "NYU UUUU UU!!! SEA KINGSI!!!"

At the Ryugu Palace, ministers deliver urgent news. A messenger reports, "MINISTER OF THE LEFT, WE HAVE URGENT NEWS TO REPORT! THIS IS THE RYUUGUU PALACE." The Minister of the Left reacts in alarm: "THEY WERE FOUND WITHIN THE WALLS OF THE PALACE ITSELF!!!" and "WITHIN THE PALACE...I! ARE THEY ALL RIGHTI!" Another announces, "THE MERMAIDS WHO WERE KIDNAPPED HAVE BEEN RECOVERED!" A small fish cries, "WHAT IS IT...I HOEEE!!" Inside the grand hall, the Minister continues, "EVEN THAT GREAT ROYAL TREASURE, THE TAMATEBAKO, IS GONE!" and "THERE ISN'T A SINGLE PIECE OF TREASURE LEFT...!! BUT THAT'S NOT ALL, THE PALACE TREASURE STORES HAVE BEEN EMPTIED BARE!!! THEY ARE STILL NOT FULLY RECOVERED FROM THE ORDEAL... BUT IT SEEMS THEY CLEARLY REMEMBER THE FACE OF THEIR KIDNAPPER!" Guards stand amid scattered debris on the palace floor.

The Minister of the Left stresses, "THIS IS NOT THE TIME TO WORRY ABOUT PETTY THIEVES... NOT ABOUT WE CAME SO CLOSE TO LOSING THE KINGDOM ITSELF...!" while a fish adds, "IT SEEMS THAT SOMEONE WAS QUICK TO TAKE ADVANTAGE OF HIS MAJESTY'S ABSENCE...!!! HOEEEE!!" A small fish reports, "AT ONCE, YOUR MAJESTY. WE HAVE TREATED THEM TERRIBLY." The Minister declares, "THOUGH IT COMES FAR TOO LATE, WE MUST MAKE THE INNOCENCE OF THE STRAW HATS IN THIS MATTER CLEAR. THE PEOPLE OF FISHMAN ISLAND BEHIND THOSE KIDNAPPINGS ARE SAFE." In Gyoncord Plaza, an angry crowd reacts. Someone shouts, "YOU LIAR!!" and "JUST ADMIT IT! YOU DOUBTED THEM 'CAUSE THEY'RE HUMAN!" A voice defends, "WELL, OF COURSE IT WASN'T!! HOW COULD IT POSSIBLY HAVE BEEN THEMI! I KNEW THAT FROM THE VERY START..." Another insists, "DID YOU HEAR THATI IT WASN'T THE STRAW HATS BEHIND THOSE KIDNAPPINGS AT ALL! I KNEW IT!!" Citizens gather and react with shock.

Angry fish-men and humans shout from the crowd. "HECK, THIS ISLAND IS A TOURIST REGION, RIGHTI! IT'S HUMAN PIRATES LIKE US THAT FUEL YOUR ECONOMY, AIN'T ITI!" "THERE'S NO POINT US STICKING AROUND NOW, IS THEREI! WE'RE HUMANS, WE AIN'T GOT NOTHIN' TO DO WITH THIS ISLAND'S AFFAIRS!!!" "WE DIDN'T WANT ANY OF THIS!! IT WAS ALL HODY AND HIS CRONIES!!!" "WE'RE BEGGIN' YOU HERE, BOSS-MAN!! YOU GOTTA LET US GO!!!" A desperate voice pleads, "PLEASE, JUST LET US OUT THE EXIT!!" A massive figure in ornate robes looms forward, hand raised. "I HAVE NOT SAID THAT YOU MUST ALL BE BEHEADED. I SAY ONLY THAT YOU MUST AWAIT JUDGEMENT AT THE HANDS OF THE HOUSE OF NEPTUNE. BUT ANY ONE OF YOU WHO TRIES TO ESCAPE WITH A FLOATING BUBBLE... I WILL SHOOT DOWN WITHOUT HESITATION." The giant's eyes glare as impact lines explode around him. Elsewhere, a huge sea creature lies beached with a tiny reindeer on its back. "YEAH... DON'T WORRY ABOUT ME." "HEY, CHOPPER, ARE YOU SURE YOU'RE ALL RIGHTI" A furious fish-man nearby roars, "AAAAAAR GHHHHHH!!! DAMMITALL!!!"

Franky lies dramatically across Robin's lap, hearts floating around him. "ROBIN-CHAN! I USED MY ULTIMATE TECHNIQUE AND MY WHOLE BODY ACHES AS WELL! REST ME ON YOUR LAP ♥" Robin replies coolly, "AFTER I USE MONSTER POINT, MY WHOLE BODY GOES SO NUMB I CAN'T WALK FOR ABOUT TWO OR THREE HOURS." Chopper answers, "I CAN STILL TREAT THE INJURED, THOUGH! IS ANYBODY HURTI" Someone snaps, "YEAH, YOU ARE, IDIOT." In the distance an explosion erupts. "LOOK, OVER THERE!! THE KING AS WELL!!" "IT'S THE PRINCES!!" A monstrous fish-man lunges with jaws wide, teeth bared, as impact symbols and motion lines fill the frame.

Shirahoshi speaks softly, "...I'M JUST GLAD YOU'RE ALL RIGHT. FATHER! I MUST APOLOGISE FOR WORRYING YOU..." Hody Jones glares, "VANDER DECKEN!!" A fish-man in a hat reacts with shock. A close-up shows a bearded face with intense eyes. A padlock clicks shut with "ガチャン!!" Neptune, chained and beaten, kneels in the plaza. A massive speech bubble declares, "...WILL ROAM FREE NO LONGER!!" Citizens stare in horror as the narration reads, "CITIZENS OF FISHMAN ISLAND, HAVE NO FEAR!!! THESE MEN..."

A monstrous silhouette fills the panel. "C... CAPTAIN HODY...!!! HE LOOKS LIKE A MONSTER..." A terrified citizen cries, "I WAS SO SCARED... TO THINK A GUY LIKE THAT WAS LIVING SO CLOSE BY, JUST DOWN IN THE FISHMAN DISTRICT..." The crowd erupts: "...AND PRINCESS SHIRAHOSHI!!!" "IT'S STRAW HAT LUFFY..." "WHY, THAT MUST BE LUFFY-GAN COMING BACK!!" "UWAHHHH!!" A desperate voice shouts, "HEY OVER THERE" as arrows fly. Shirahoshi weeps in close-up, tears streaming. "IT'S LUFFY-SAMA!!! HIS BLEEDING JUST WON'T STOP!!! HE PUSHED HIMSELF SO HARD FOR OUR SAKE...!!!" "PLEASE, SOMEBODY HELP!!!"

Law leans in close and tells the frantic Chopper, "JUST TELL ME WHAT YOU NEED TO DO." Chopper panics wildly, shouting "MAN, THAT'S ONE FREAKY DOCTOR!" while muttering about the surgery being "A LITTLE TO THE LEFT... A LITTLE FURTHER..." Robin kneels beside the gravely wounded Luffy on the ground and cries out, "OH, NO!!! ROBIN, LOOK IN MY BAG!!! THERE SHOULD BE AN INJECTION TO STOP HIS BLEEDING!" Nearby, someone yells in alarm, "WHY AM I SUDDENLY LOSING ALL FAITH IN OUR SHIP'S DOCTORI!" The crew realizes the crisis: "LUFFY'S THE ONLY TYPE F ON THE CREW, ISN'T HE," and desperately asks, "IS THERE ANYBODY HERE WITH TYPE FI!" Law, now treating Luffy, states, "I CAN STOP THE BLEEDING ALL RIGHT, BUT HE'S LOST A LOT OF BLOOD ALREADY... HE NEEDS MORE BLOOD, OR HE WON'T SURVIVE!!" A crewmate pleads, "CAN... YOU REALLY HELP HIMI!" In the next moment, a voice offers, "I'M... TYPE F, BUT..." followed by another confirming, "I... I'M A TYPE F...!!!" The panel erupts with the desperate cry, "ANYONE!!!"

The crowd reacts in shock to the blood-type crisis. A fish-man exclaims, "THAT'S A TERRIBLE LAW!!" while another shouts, "WHATI! WHO CAME UP WITH THATI!" Shirahoshi's voice recalls, "THE LAW OF THIS COUNTRY SAYS NOBODY'S ALLOWED TO GIVE ANY BLOOD TO HUMANS!!!" and adds, "OH, OF COURSE!! I ALMOST FORGOT..." Reactions ripple through the onlookers with "!!I" and "AH..." Princess Shirahoshi appears, prompting gasps of "P... PRINCESS SHIRAHOSHI...I!" A fish-man stammers, "UH- HUH, RIGHT. I APPRECIATE THE SENTIMENT, REALLY!!!" while another questions, "IS THAT NOT GOOD ENOUGHI!" Shirahoshi offers desperately, "M... MY BLOOD ISN'T THAT TYPE, BUT... BUT IT IS RED!!" Someone yells, "OH, YEAH!! WHAT ABOUT THE HUMAN PIRATESI!" The scene shifts as a massive figure looms and the crowd reacts with "EH!I" and "!!!"

Jinbe thrusts out his arm and declares, "TAKE AS MUCH AS YOU NEED!! I'M TYPE F!! GO AHEAD AND TAKE IT!!!" The crew reacts with shock, shouting "JINBE!!!" Jinbe continues, "WELL, I AM A PIRATE..." while acknowledging, "BUT... THE LAW..." The background shows the chaotic Fish-Man Island streets with citizens reacting. A fish-man protests, "SUCH OUTDATED LAWS... ARE NOTHING BUT A PART OF THE CURSE..." Another voice cries, "LEAVE HIM!! WHY SHOULD HE NOTI!" while someone else stammers, "J... JINBE, YOU REALLY..." The crowd erupts with cheers of "BOSS JINBE!!" and "BIG BOSS!!" as Jinbe stands firm amid the swirling dust and motion lines.

Narration captions read: "IT FLOWS FROM THOSE WHO ARE HURT, AND IN THOSE WHO DO THE HURTING." A wide view shows the deep red of blood spreading across the ocean floor near Fish-Man Island structures. Further narration states, "IT WAS THE TINY TUBES......THROUGH WHICH NOW FLOWED..." and "THOUGH FAR TOO NARROW TO BE CALLED A PATH..." The blood flows onward with sound effects "クク..." and "ピピ..." More captions continue: "...THROUGH THE BATTLES OF THOSE WHO SOUGHT TO WASH AWAY BLOOD WITH MORE BLOOD..." and "...THAT TORE THROUGH PREJUDICE AND FEAR..." Close-ups show intense reactions from fish-men, Jinbe, and Shirahoshi with tears and determined expressions as the transfusion proceeds.

Luffy lies unconscious on the sandy seabed as medical equipment surrounds him. Jinbe stands nearby while a large figure in a patterned kimono looms close. Scattered panels show chaotic flashbacks: a wild-haired man shouts "STRAW HAT!!!", another whispers "...MOTHER." and declares "WE HAVE FINALLY REACHED YOUR 'ZERO'...". Luffy grins in a vision, calling "HEY, JINBE..." and declaring "JOIN MY CREW!!". Narration boxes read: "THAT, CLEARER THAN ANY WILD DREAM OR IDEAL...", "...ALL COULD SEE IT FOR WHAT IT WAS...", "A PATH TO THE SUN." and "SO SMOOTHLY AND EASILY IT FLOWED...". In the present, a fish-man exclaims "WELL, I NEVER...", another cries "YOU'RE CONSCIOUSI", voices shout "LUFFY!!" and "AHHH! LUFFY-SAMA IS COMING TO!!", while Jinbe responds "...". Luffy's eyes open slightly as sound effects mark his awakening.

Massive sea creatures swim through the depths, carrying a chained ship. One fish-man wonders "WAS I IMAGINING THINGS...I" and "HMMI". Others react: "IT CAN'T BE...", "HE SEEMED TO NOTICE OUR VOICES.", "THAT HUMAN WITH THE HAT...". A pirate captain with a large mustache shouts "WHO'S THAT MUTTERING OUT THERE IN THESE DEEP WATERSI!!", "RAYLEIGH!! DID YOU HEAR THOSE VOICES JUST NOWI!", and questions the situation. Narration notes "IT SEEMED TO NOTICE OUR VOICES." and "I RECALL SOMETHING SIMILAR HAPPENED NOT SO LONG AGO...". The ship descends as sound effects show movement through the water.

The sea creatures continue hauling the massive chained ship Noah through turbulent waters. Dialogue questions "CAN IT REALLY BE FIXEDI", "OUR ONLY HOPE IS THE SKILLS OF THAT CLAN... BUT TIMES HAVE CHANGED...", "WHO KNOWS...", "D'YOU THINK IT CAN BE FIXEDI IS IT STILL USABLEI", "THE SHIP IS IN A TERRIBLE STATE...". One voice hopes "I SURE HOPE IT CAN..." and another states "BEFORE THE PROMISED TIME COMES...". Below, panicked figures scream "THEY'RE GONNA EAT US ALL UP!!!", "AAAAA AAGHHH HHH!!!", "THEY'RE CARRYING THE NOAH!!!", "NYU UUUU UU!!!", and "SEA KINGSI!!!" as the creatures drag the vessel onward.

At the Ryugu Palace, the Minister of the Left receives an urgent report. "MINISTER OF THE LEFT, WE HAVE URGENT NEWS TO REPORT! THIS IS THE RYUGUU PALACE." The messenger continues, "THEY WERE FOUND WITHIN THE WALLS OF THE PALACE ITSELF!!! THE MERMAIDS WHO WERE KIDNAPPED HAVE BEEN RECOVERED!" A small fish-man gasps, "WHAT IS IT...I" while Megalo cries out, "HOEEE!!" The Minister reacts in shock, "WITHIN THE PALACE...I! ARE THEY ALL RIGHTI!" In the grand hall, the report grows graver: "EVEN THAT GREAT ROYAL TREASURE, THE TAMATEBAKO, IS GONE! THERE ISN'T A SINGLE PIECE OF TREASURE LEFT...!! BUT THAT'S NOT ALL. THE PALACE TREASURE STORES HAVE BEEN EMPTIED BARE!!! THEY ARE STILL NOT FULLY RECOVERED FROM THE ORDEAL... BUT IT SEEMS THEY CLEARLY REMEMBER THE FACE OF THEIR KIDNAPPER!" King Neptune stands grimly among the guards as the scale of the theft sinks in.

Neptune addresses the crisis firmly. "THIS IS NOT THE TIME TO WORRY ABOUT PETTY THIEVES... NOT ABOUT LOSING THE KINGDOM ITSELF...! IT SEEMS THAT SOMEONE WAS QUICK TO TAKE ADVANTAGE OF HIS MAJESTY'S ABSENCE...!!!" Megalo echoes, "HOEEEE!!" A messenger fish arrives, "AT ONCE, YOUR MAJESTY. WE HAVE TREATED THEM TERRIBLY. THOUGH IT COMES FAR TOO LATE, WE MUST MAKE THE INNOCENCE OF THE STRAW HATS IN THIS MATTER CLEAR. INFORM THE PEOPLE OF FISHMAN ISLAND THAT THE MISSING GIRLS ARE SAFE." At Gyoncord Plaza the crowd erupts. "YOU LIAR!! WELL, OF COURSE IT WASN'T!! HOW COULD IT POSSIBLY HAVE BEEN THEMI! I KNEW THAT FROM THE VERY START... DID YOU HEAR THATI! IT WASN'T THE STRAW HATS BEHIND THOSE KIDNAPPINGS AT ALL! I KNEW IT!! JUST ADMIT IT! YOU DOUBTED THEM 'CAUSE THEY'RE HUMAN!"

Angry citizens shout at the guards, "HECK, THIS ISLAND IS A TOURIST REGION, RIGHTI! IT'S HUMAN PIRATES LIKE US THAT FUEL YOUR ECONOMY, AIN'T ITI! THERE'S NO POINT US STICKING AROUND NOW, IS THEREI! WE'RE HUMANS, WE AIN'T GOT NOTHIN' TO DO WITH THIS ISLAND'S AFFAIRS!!! WE DIDN'T WANT ANY OF THIS!! IT WAS ALL HODY AND HIS CRONIES!!! WE'RE BEGGIN' YOU HERE, BOSS-MAN!! YOU GOTTA LET US GO!!! PLEASE, JUST LET US OUT THE EXIT!!" Neptune looms with a massive trident, declaring, "BUT ANY ONE OF YOU WHO TRIES TO ESCAPE WITH A FLOATING BUBBLE... I WILL SHOOT DOWN WITHOUT HESITATION. I HAVE NOT SAID THAT YOU MUST ALL BE BEHEADED. I SAY ONLY THAT YOU MUST AWAIT JUDGEMENT AT THE HANDS OF THE HOUSE OF NEPTUNE." Elsewhere, a massive fish-man lies injured while Chopper checks on him. "YEAH... DON'T WORRY ABOUT ME. HEY, CHOPPER, ARE YOU SURE YOU'RE ALL RIGHTI" A furious voice roars, "AAAAAAR GHHHHHH!!! DAMMITALL!!!"

On the Thousand Sunny, the Straw Hats tend to their wounds. Franky sprawls dramatically, "ROBIN-CHAN! I USED MY ULTIMATE TECHNIQUE AND MY WHOLE BODY ACHES AS WELL! REST ME ON YOUR LAP ♥" Chopper replies, "YEAH, YOU ARE, IDIOT." Robin answers calmly, "I CAN STILL TREAT THE INJURED, THOUGH! IS ANYBODY HURTI AFTER I USE MONSTER POINT, MY WHOLE BODY GOES SO NUMB I CAN'T WALK FOR ABOUT TWO OR THREE HOURS." An explosion rocks the area. "LOOK, OVER THERE!! THE KING AS WELL!! IT'S THE PRINCES!!" Wadatsumi thrashes in pain, "AAAAAAR GHHHHHH!!! DAMMITALL!!!" while the crew reacts to the distant chaos.

A small panel shows Shirahoshi speaking softly, "...I'M JUST GLAD YOU'RE ALL RIGHT. FATHER! I MUST APOLOGISE FOR WORRYING YOU..." In the next panels, Hody Jones and Vander Decken appear among a crowd of fish-men, with Hody shouting "HODY...!!" and another voice yelling "VANDER DECKEN!!" A close-up shows a fish-man's intense glare. Sound effects mark a lock clicking shut with "ガチャン!!" and "ザ...!!!" The large bottom panel reveals a massive chained prisoner, likely Neptune, bound in heavy chains on the ground. A dramatic speech declares, "...WILL ROAM FREE NO LONGER!!" while a banner reads "CITIZENS OF FISHMAN ISLAND, HAVE NO FEAR!!! THESE MEN..." The prisoner struggles as onlookers watch in fear.

Panic spreads through the crowd. A fish-man cries "C... CAPTAIN HODY...!!! HE LOOKS LIKE A MONSTER..." Another voice recalls, "I WAS SO SCARED... TO THINK A GUY LIKE THAT WAS LIVING SO CLOSE BY, JUST DOWN IN THE FISHMAN DISTRICT..." Citizens point and shout "...AND PRINCESS SHIRAHOSHI!!!" "IT'S STRAW HAT LUFFY..." "WHY, THAT MUST BE LUFFY-SAN COMING BACK!!" A massive skull-like figure looms as someone yells "UWAHHH!!!" In the dramatic close-up, a tearful woman with long hair screams desperately, "IT'S LUFFY-SAMA!!! HIS BLEEDING JUST WON'T STOP!!! HE PUSHED HIMSELF SO HARD FOR OUR SAKE...!!!! PLEASE, SOMEBODY HELP!!!"

On the ship, a frantic crew member begs the doctor, "JUST TELL ME WHAT YOU NEED TO DO." The doctor replies nervously, "WHY AM I SUDDENLY LOSING ALL FAITH IN OUR SHIP'S DOCTORI!" while another shouts "OH, NO!!! ROBIN, LOOK IN MY BAG!!! THERE SHOULD BE AN INJECTION TO STOP HIS BLEEDING!" Luffy lies bleeding on the ground. The crew debates blood types: "LUFFY'S THE ONLY TYPE F ON THE CREW, ISN'T HE," "IS THERE ANYBODY HERE WITH TYPE FI!" A woman with long hair pleads, "I CAN STOP THE BLEEDING ALL RIGHT, BUT HE'S LOST A LOT OF BLOOD ALREADY. HE NEEDS MORE BLOOD, OR HE WON'T SURVIVE!! CAN... YOU REALLY HELP HIMI!" In the final panels, several characters declare their blood type: "I'M... TYPE F, BUT..." "I... I'M A TYPE F...!!" and a desperate cry of "ANYONE!!!"

The scene shifts to a public square where a large crowd reacts in shock. A voice exclaims, "THAT'S A TERRIBLE LAW!!" Another asks, "WHATI! WHO CAME UP WITH THATI!" A fish-man states, "THE LAW OF THIS COUNTRY SAYS NOBODY'S ALLOWED TO GIVE ANY BLOOD TO HUMANS!!!" A woman replies, "OH, OF COURSE!! I ALMOST FORGOT..." Princess Shirahoshi appears surprised. A man with a top hat and a wanted poster on his back says, "UH- HUH, RIGHT. I APPRECIATE THE SENTIMENT, REALLY!!!" The long-haired woman insists, "IS THAT NOT GOOD ENOUGHI!" while another adds, "M... MY BLOOD ISN'T THAT TYPE, BUT... BUT IT IS RED!!" The crowd erupts with "OH, YEAH!! WHAT ABOUT THE HUMAN PIRATESI!" as shock spreads and someone yells "EH!I"

Jinbe lies on the ground with tubes connected to him as blood is drawn. He shouts, "TAKE AS MUCH AS YOU NEED!! I'M TYPE F!! GO AHEAD AND TAKE IT!!!" while someone yells "JINBE!!!" Nearby fish-men react with shock. One declares, "WELL, I AM A PIRATE..." Another adds, "BUT... THE LAW..." The scene shifts to a chaotic underwater area with fish-men and merfolk gathered, shouting "BOSS JINBE!!" A fish-man with a top hat cries out, "LEAVE HIM!! WHY SHOULD HE NOTI!" while another says, "J... JINBE, YOU REALLY..." A woman with curly hair watches nearby. An older fish-man yells, "SUCH OUTDATED LAWS... ARE NOTHING BUT A PART OF THE CURSE..." and "YOUR MAJESTY..." as the crowd erupts with "BIG BOSS!!"

Narration boxes explain: "IT FLOWS FROM THOSE WHO ARE HURT, AND IN THOSE WHO DO THE HURTING." A wide view shows the deep red seabed with the caption "THE DEEP RED OF BLOOD..." More narration continues: "IT WAS THE TINY TUBES......THROUGH WHICH NOW FLOWED..." and "THOUGH FAR TOO NARROW TO BE CALLED A PATH..." Fish-men react with intense expressions as narration states, "...THROUGH THE BATTLES OF THOSE WHO SOUGHT TO WASH AWAY BLOOD WITH MORE BLOOD..." and "...THAT TORE THROUGH PREJUDICE AND FEAR..." Close-ups show a shark-like fish-man roaring, a bearded man sweating, and a tearful woman with flowing hair.

Luffy lies unconscious on the sandy seabed with an IV stand nearby as Jinbe stands over him in a patterned robe. Narration reads, "...THAT, CLEARER THAN ANY WILD DREAM OR IDEAL..." and "...ALL COULD SEE IT FOR WHAT IT WAS... A PATH TO THE SUN." Straw Hat crew members react in the background. A fish-man shouts "STRAW HAT!!!" while another says "...MOTHER." Luffy's face appears with "WE HAVE FINALLY REACHED YOUR 'ZERO'..." Someone calls out "HEY, JINBE..." and a large speech bubble declares "JOIN MY CREW!!" The crew rushes forward yelling "LUFFY!!" "YOU'RE CONSCIOUSI" "AHHH! LUFFY-SAMA IS COMING TO!!" and "JINBE..." as Luffy's eyes open slightly.
