100,000 vs. 10

A few hours ago in the Ocean Forest, Luffy shouts furiously, "JUST LISTEN TO WHAT I HAVE TO SAY!!!" while being restrained. He yells, "I KEEP TELLING YOU TO WAIT!!" and "OUTTA MY WAY!! I'M GOING TO BEAT THOSE GUYS UP!!" A sign reads "A FEW HOURS AGO - THE OCEAN FOREST". Someone warns, "WHEN I TELL YOU NOT TO FIGHT HODY..." Luffy retorts about failing to achieve relations for many years. The reply comes: "...THAT FISHMAN AND HUMAN HAVE FAILED TO ACHIEVE FOR MANY YEARS!!" "PRECISELY. AND IT IS THAT MOST NATURAL OF RELATIONS..." "WE'RE FRIENDS!!" "WHAT RELATIONSHIP DO YOU AND I SHAREI!" A voice insists, "I MEANT THAT YOU MUST NOT DO BATTLE WITH HIM RASHLY! YOU MUST THINK BEFORE YOU ACT!!" In a close-up, a fish-man with a striped headband glares and declares, "...BUT AS THE HERO OF THIS ISLAND!!! YOU MUST DEFEAT HIM NOT AS A VIOLENT HUMAN SUPPRESSING THE FISHMEN..."

The fish-man hero continues, "DO YOU GET WHAT BEING A HERO MEANSI!" Luffy snaps back, "WE'RE PIRATES!! I LIKE HEROES A LOT, BUT I DON'T WANT TO BE ONE!!" Someone exclaims, "WHATI!!" and "A HEROI! FORGET IT!!!" The fish-man offers, "THEN I'LL GIVE YOU PLENTY OF MEAT, SO DO AS I SAY!!!!" Luffy yells, "I WANT TO EAT MEAT!!!" Background figures react with "ALL RIGHT!!" and "IT'S THAT SIMPLEI!!" while others discuss pirate parties versus hero duties. The fish-man outlines the plan: "...THUS INFILTRATING THE PLAZA!! ONCE WE ARRIVE, I NEED SOMEBODY TO SNEAK OUT FROM INSIDE MEGALO..." "...LOCATE THE TENRYUUBITO LETTER AND THE KEY TO THE KING'S CHAINS..." "...AND STEAL THEM FROM THE ENEMY!!" "FIRST OF ALL, MEGALO AND I WILL GET OURSELVES CAPTURED BY THE ENEMY..." "NOW, THIS IS THE PLAN IN SHORT. I'M GOING TO ASK FOR YOU TO SAVE ME. ALL YOU HAVE TO DO IS RESPOND TO MY CALL FOR HELP."

Luffy stares wide-eyed as the plan is laid out. "NOW, ONCE WE HAVE RELEASED THE KING, THAT'S WHEN I WILL CALL FOR LUFFY'S HELP." "GOOD." In another panel, Robin and Nami stand together while a fish-man questions, "WITH ROBIN'S HELP, IT SHOULD BE EASY ENOUGH! STEALING IS MY SPECIALITY! CAN ANY OF YOU HANDLE THATI" Robin replies, "QUITE." Luffy is warned, "LUFFY, IF YOU APPEAR FROM INSIDE MEGALO AT THAT MOMENT..." The group continues planning: "THE REST OF YOU SHOULD HEAD TO THE PALACE RIGHT AWAY... AND RESCUE THE CAPTIVE STRAW HATS FROM THEIR PLIGHT." Shirahoshi is told, "...READY TO TAKE THE RECOVERED LETTER AND ESCAPE TOGETHER WITH YOUR FATHER. PRINCESS, YOU CAN WAIT IN A SAFE LOCATION OUTSIDE THE PLAZA......EVERYONE WILL UNDERSTAND THAT WE ALL PLANNED THIS TOGETHER." Luffy suddenly erupts in shock, "WHAT KIND OF PLAN IS THATI!!" as Jinbe gestures and explains, "WORK IT OUT YOURSELVES. ONCE THEY ARE SAFE, YOU CAN ALL HEAD TO THE PLAZA TOGETHER. AS FOR HOW EXACTLY TO GO ABOUT RESCUING YOUR CREWMATES..."

Luffy remains doubtful with a sweat drop as the discussion continues. "...I'M SURE EVERYONE WILL BE CHEERING FOR LUFFY-CHIN!" "YES... IF THEY SEE THAT YOU'VE PLACED YOUR LIFE IN LUFFY-CHIN'S HANDS FOR THE SAKE OF RESCUING THE KING..." Jinbe adds, "NYUUU!... ALL THE PEOPLE OF FISHMAN ISLAND AND THE FISHMAN DISTRICT HAVE A HEALTHY RESPECT FOR YOU, JIMBEI. HOW DO YOU THINK THE WATCHING CITIZENS WILL REACT IF WE EXECUTE THIS PLANI" Franky flexes dramatically, "WITH ALL THOSE BEAUTIFUL MERMAIDS CHEERING FOR ME, I COULD DEFEAT ANY DEMON EMPEROR!!" Jinbe questions the plan's realism while Sanji points and yells, "IT DOESN'T REALLY HAPPEN VERY OFTEN, DOES ITI I DON'T REALLY WANT ANYBODY CHEERING FOR ME! IT THROWS ME OFF!! I'M ONLY AGREEING TO THIS BECAUSE IT'S YOU, JIMBEI!!!!" A large fish-man asks, "THERE'S STILL SOMETHING ON YOUR MINDI" as Jinbe replies, "HMM..." and another voice shouts, "WHO NEEDS A NAMEI! LET'S JUST GO!!" "WE SHALL CALL THIS OPERATION..." Jinbe concludes, "...YOU HAVE MY GRATITUDE!!"

Explosions and chaos erupt near Gyoncord Plaza as a massive creature crashes through the area with sound effects "ゴゴゴゴ" and "ドドド". A close-up shows a fish-man's face twisted in pain, "NGHHH...". Crowds gather and cheer wildly around the plaza. Voices shout, "HE'S COME TO SAVE THE ISLAND WITH BOSS JIMBEI!!!!" "EVEN PRINCESS SHIRAHOSHI CRIED OUT TO HIM FOR HELP...!!" "STRAW HAT LUFFY IS A PIRATE AND A HUMAN, BUT HE'S ON OUR SIDE!!" The excited mob yells, "STRAW HAT!!!" while signs mark the location "NEAR GYONCORD PLAZA" and "AROUND GYONCORD PLAZA".

A massive brawl breaks out as a striped fish-man swings weapons and roars, "...HUMAN PIRATES!!!!" A slap lands with "SLAP!!" while voices argue, "SAY, WOULD YOU BE SO KIND AS TO SHOW ME YOUR -" "YOU FILTHY..." "DON'T GET TOO COCKY JUST BECAUSE THE KING IS FREE FOR THE MOMENT!!!" Nami is surrounded by admirers asking, "DO YOU LOVE MEI!" as she replies, "OH, SHUT UP. WE MADE IT TO THE EXIT BY OURSELVES. YES, YES..." Shirahoshi declares, "NAMI-SAN! I SAVED ALL THESE IDIOTS FROM THE PALACE!!" Franky boasts about new weapons while Luffy's group reacts. In the background, a fish-man laughs, "HAHAHAH... THE BOY SEEMS TO HAVE BECOME RATHER POPULAR..." Shirahoshi speaks with Luffy, "...THIS IS THE HOPE OF FISHMAN ISLAND THAT MY MOTHER LEFT FOR US ALL...!!" "THANK YOU SO MUCH, EVERYONE...!!" "HERE YOU GO - THE LETTER YOU WANTED!" A shark fish-man notes, "HER GETTING CAPTURED WAS NOT PART OF THE PLAN... I'M NOT SURE HOW WE'RE GOING TO GET HER OUT OF HERE." "IT'S PRETTY DANGEROUS FOR CRY-HOSHI TO BE HERE..." The crowd chants, "THEY TOTALLY IGNORED YOU!!!!" as someone admits, "I SAID IT QUIETLY ON PURPOSE SO THAT THEY COULD NOT HEAR!!"

Shirahoshi speaks with tears in her eyes, "TO RESIST THE PASSING ON OF HATRED IS A MOST NOBLE ACT!! I CAN ONLY PRAY THAT THE SEED YOU HAVE PLANTED WILL GROW TO COVER THE ENTIRE ISLAND..." In a flashback, Otohime smiles gently and says, "THINK NAUGHT OF IT. YOU SHOULD BE PROUD!! I MUST APOLOGISE... THIS ALL HAPPENED BECAUSE OF MY DECISION TO CONCEAL THE TRUTH..." Otohime continues, "I DO NOT MEAN TO DENY THE YEARS YOU SPENT SHOULDERING THIS TRUTH ALONE. I DARE SAY ALL BARRIERS AND CONFLICTS BETWEEN FISHMAN AND HUMAN WILL FALL AWAY WITH THE GREATEST OF EASE. FOR IF THE DAY SHOULD COME WHEN ALL CAN THINK THE SAME WAY AS YOU..." The scene returns to Shirahoshi crying heavily as she declares, "...IN PROTECTING THIS SEED OF HOPE!! BUT I MUST ASK THAT THIS TIME, YOU ALLOW US TO LEND YOU OUR HELP..."

Shirahoshi weeps loudly on the shore as the Thousand Sunny sails away. She cries, "THANK YOU SO MUCH, EVERYONE...! WAAAAAHHHH HHHHH!!" Someone shouts, "TAKE 'EM OUT, STRAW HAT!!" Luffy replies, "ALL RIGHT!" A crewmate notes, "SHE MAY NOT BE A BABY, BUT SHE SURE DOES CRY A LOT." Hody Jones glares and declares, "IT IS IMPERATIVE THAT SHIRAHOSHI BE ELIMINATED WITHOUT DELAY. CAPTAIN HODYI!!" An explosion erupts with "ボゴォン!!" as someone yells, "WHAT A USELESS ALLY YOU WERE, VANDER DECKEN...!!!" Jinbe stands firm and says, "I SHOULD HAVE KNOWN THAT YOU WOULD NEVER ALLOW YOURSELF TO BE CAPTURED SO EASILY. IT SEEMS YOU HAVE PLAYED ME FOR A FOOL, JIMBEI...!!!"

Hody Jones roars at Jinbe, "IT'S MEN LIKE YOU THAT I HATE MOST OF ALL!!! AND YOU SEEM VERY FRIENDLY WITH THOSE HUMANS...!!!" He continues his rant, "YET INSTEAD OF AVENGING THEM, YOU ALLY YOURSELF WITH THE VERY HUMANS RESPONSIBLE... YOU'RE JUST AS BAD AS THAT BRAINLESS NEPTUNE!! YOU GREW UP IN THE FISHMAN DISTRICT, TOGETHER WITH FISHER TIGER AND ARLONG... BOTH OF WHOM MET THEIR END AT THE HANDS OF HUMANS!!!" Hody declares his plan with a fierce grin, "I'LL GO TO MARIEJOA AND SLAUGHTER ALL THE HUMAN KINGS OF THE WORLD! THAT WILL TEACH THEM TO FEAR OUR UNDERSEA KINGDOM!!! ONCE I'M KING OF THIS ISLAND, I'LL CHANGE EVERYTHING!!! THE UPCOMING REVERIE SOUNDS LIKE THE PERFECT OPPORTUNITY."

Hody Jones continues, "ONCE I'M THROUGH WITH THEM, THERE WON'T BE A HUMAN IN THE WORLD FOOL ENOUGH TO DEFY THE MIGHTY FISHMAN RACE!!! AND THAT MEANS PIRATES, TOO!!! THEN I'LL DRAG ALL THE HUMANS DOWN TO THE BOTTOM OF THE SEA AND MAKE THEM OUR SLAVES!!!" Luffy stands with a serious expression and replies, "I'M THE ONLY ONE WORTHY TO BE CALLED PIRATE KING!!!" Hody sneers, "THIS IS HOW YOU'RE GOING TO END UP, STRAW HAT!!! TAKE A LOOK AT ALL THESE POWERFUL PIRATES HERE!!!" Hody laughs wildly, "JAHahaha HAHA!! WHAT CAN A MERE TEN PIRATES ACHIEVEI! YOU'RE NOTHING, DON'T YOU GET THATI!! I HAVE A HUNDRED THOUSAND WARRIORS ON MY SIDE!!! TAKE THEM OUT......MY NEW FISHMAN PIRATES!!!"

Luffy glares with intense focus as a massive shockwave erupts. "ビクンッ!!" The battlefield explodes into chaos with fish-men pirates and Straw Hats clashing violently. A huge roar fills the air: "HAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!" Weapons clash everywhere as Luffy's crew fights through the swarm. Someone yells "GAAHHK!!" while another grunts "BHRKKK!!" In the thick of battle, a fish-man shouts "HEY, LUFFY...!!!!" Luffy steps forward amid the crowd. "STRENGTH DOESN'T ALWAYS COME IN NUMBERS, YOU KNOW. THEY'RE NOT EVEN MARINE ELITES... THERE'S TEN OF US, SO I GUESS THAT'S TEN THOUSAND EACH..." Sanji replies coolly, "I'M NOT SENDING YOU OUT JUST YET!! HANG ON A MINUTE, YEAHI!" Nami hides nearby, exclaiming "COULD YOU GUYS GET OUT OF HEREI!! IT'S REALLY TIGHT!!" and "I'M HIDING IN HERE BECAUSE IT'S TOO SCARY OUT THERE!!" An enemy voice screams "AGHHH!! THAT'S SOME SERIOUS ROARING OUT THERE!!"

The massive Haki-infused punch crashes down as Luffy's Conqueror's Haki erupts across the battlefield. "THIS IS... HAKI!!!" Fish-men react in shock: "HE HAS COME THIS FAR IN ONLY TWO YEARS...I!" Zoro smirks, "THAT'S WHAT I EXPECT FROM A GUY WHO CALLS HIMSELF MY CAPTAIN. SOVEREIGN HAKI... SO HE REALLY DOES HAVE THE TALENT." Shirahoshi watches in awe, whispering "INCREDIBLE... LUFFY-SAMA..." Below, Luffy declares "I'M GONNA HAVE TO BEAT YOU UP MYSELF. I DON'T CARE IF YOU WANT TO MAKE YOURSELF A KING OF SOME ISLAND OR WHATEVER..." The fish-men panic: "DAMMITALL!! HE TOOK OUT HALF OUR FORCES IN A SINGLE INSTANT!!" "F... FIFTY THOUSANDI! WHAT THE HECK DID HE DOI!!" "HE DIDN'T EVEN DO ANYTHING!! THEY ALL JUST COLLAPSED!!!"

A close-up shows Luffy's determined face, sweat and scars visible. "BUT I'M THE ONLY ONE..." He grits his teeth and roars with full force: "...WHO'S GONNA BE PIRATE KING!!!" Nearby, a fish-man laughs "HAHAH..." while another enemy reacts with shock "!!I" as Luffy's massive fist smashes forward with a "BOOOFFF!!" impact, sending shockwaves through the ranks. An ally shouts "WHAT'S UP WITH THAT ARMI!!" and "HERE HE COMES!!!"

Luffy's massive punch sends fish-men flying in every direction. "I DON'T CARE HOW MANY MEN YOU'VE GOT!!!" An enemy screams "AAAAA ARGHH HHH!!!" In the aftermath, a mermaid-like figure appears with a skull, declaring "SUCH PASSION!! I FEEL I COULD START A CONCERT!!!" while noting "THIS COUNTRY CONCEALS AN IMPORTANT PIECE OF THE WORLD'S HISTORY..." Sanji smiles confidently, "I WON'T LET YOU DESTROY THIS MERMAID PARADISE!!!" Another ally says "LET'S SEE IF THEY GET AROUND TO SURRENDERING BEFORE WE WIPE 'EM ALL OUT." A small creature cheers "NOW I'M GETTING ALL EXCITED!" and "I'M THE...PILOT" while shouting ""SOLDIER DOG"!!!" Nami adds, "TIME TO REVEAL THE SUNNY'S NEW WEAPON! I CALL IT..."
