Major Incident on Coral Hill

Chaos erupts around a grand palace structure as a massive sea creature rampages through the air. A voice cries out, "VANDER DECKEN HAS GONE AFTER MY BELOVED SHIRAHOSHI!!!" while another screams "AAAAH HHHH HHHH HH!!!" Neptune, the massive king, roars desperately, "I WILL GIVE YOU GOLD, SILVER, TREASURES, EVEN THE LIVES OF MY SOLDIERS!!!" A soldier warns, "H-HOLD ON A MOMENT, YOUR MAJESTY...!!!!" Another panel shows a flying ship smashing into the palace as someone pleads, "I BEG OF YOU ALL!!! I WILL GIVE YOU ANYTHING YOU DESIRE!!! JUST LET ME GO AFTER DECKEN!!!" Neptune stands tall with trident in hand, declaring, "WHAT A PATHETIC SIGHT YOU ARE, NEPTUNE...!!!!" and "HE IS GOING TO TAKE SHIRAHOSHI FROM ME!!! SHIRAHOSHI, IS MY ONE GREATEST TREASURE!!!" while fish-men soldiers and citizens react in panic below.

Hody Jones glares with fury, thinking, "TO THINK THAT MY SWORN ENEMIES, THE STRAW HAT PIRATES, WOULD AID IN MY CONQUERING OF THE RYUGUGU PALACE...!!!" A young mermaid stares in shock as someone mutters "SWORN ENEMIES...I" Hody continues, "BUT I NEVER EXPECTED YOU, FORMER MEMBERS OF NEPTUNE'S OWN ARMY, TO BE BEHIND IT...!!! HAVE YOU NO SHAME, HORDYI!!!" while a flashback shows a fish-man soldier being struck. Close-ups reveal Arlong's tattoo on an eye as the thought continues, "...I! HE BEARS... ARLONG'S MARK..." Hody laughs "JAHAHAH! SHAMEI!" and retorts, "...NGHH...... I HAD HEARD FROM JIMBEI THAT THERE WAS SOMETHING AFOOT IN THE FISHMAN DISTRICT..." The fish-man leader declares, "AND IT WORKED. I WOULD BECOME STRONG...!!!!" while explaining, "...WAS TO HONE THE SKILLS I WOULD NEED ON THE FIELD OF BATTLE. THE ONLY REASON I SERVED AS A SOLDIER......YOU SAY THAT AS THOUGH I EVER HELD ANY GREAT PRIDE IN THAT ARMY."

Hody Jones continues his rant with wild eyes, "AND WE ARE THE NEW FISHMAN PIRATES... HERE TO REVIVE THEIR BROKEN WILL!!!" while a mermaid watches in horror. He adds, "EVER SINCE I WAS A CHILD, I HAVE SEEN NOTHING BUT FISHMEN BEING OPPRESSED BY THE DETESTABLE HUMANS...!!! MY GREATEST HEROES WERE THE ARLONG PIRATES, FOR HAVING THE STRENGTH AND AMBITION TO SMASH THOSE FILTHY HUMANS' FACES IN!!!" In another panel he growls, "BUT THANKS TO A CERTAIN BUNCH OF FILTHY HUMANS, THAT DREAM NEVER CAME TO PASS!!!" and "I STRIVED TO BECOME STRONG, SO THAT WHEN ARLONG BEGAN HIS GREAT PLAN TO REACH BEYOND EAST BLUE AND CONQUER THE WORLD......I WOULD BE READY TO STAND AT HIS SIDE, AS HIS RIGHT-HAND MAN." The scene shifts as Usopp is kicked, shouting "THWACK!!! OUCH!! USOPP-SAN, WHY ARE YOU KICKING MEI!" while a voice laughs "HMMMI! ARLONGI!!" and another exclaims, "...!!!! THESE FISHMEN ARE SYMPATHISERS WITH ARLONG AND HIS CRONIESI!!!" Nami stares in shock nearby.

A massive fish-man warrior grips a heavy metal door with both hands, veins bulging as he snarls with sharp teeth bared. "CRACK" echoes as the frame bends under his grip. "MOVE IT..." commands a voice from the background. Fish-man soldiers with spears and tridents watch tensely in the corridor. In a massive splash panel the warrior hurls the enormous door like a projectile, smashing through the palace architecture with a thunderous "SOSHAWK." impact that sends debris flying. The narration notes the literal meaning of "soshark" as a rough shark crushing with teeth. Onlookers scream in shock: "THAT GRIP STRENGTH IS RIDICULOUS!! WHAT IS HE TRYING TO DOI!!" Multiple fish-men react with wide eyes and open mouths as the destruction unfolds.

The colossal throw continues, shattering the upper levels of the coral palace. "THAT'S... JUST HIS NATURAL STRENGTH, RIGHTI" "YEAH... HE'S NOT EVEN DRUGGED UP RIGHT NOW..." soldiers mutter in disbelief amid flying rubble and "GOGOGO" tremors. The impact creates a massive explosion of dust and debris as the castle wall collapses outward. "AAA AARGH HHH!!" "THE CASTLE WALL COLLAPSED!!!" Voices cry out. Below, a large fish-man in a spotted coat laughs wildly "JAH AH AHAHA HAHA..." while others panic: "THIS ISN'T GOOD AT ALL!!!" "CRAP... HE'S FLOODING THE PLACE WITH SEA-WATER!!!" Water begins pouring through the breach as the structure crumbles.

Water droplets spray through the air as the large fish-man prepares his next move. "CRAP... GET THOSE WATER DROPLETS...!!!" "G-GET DOWN!!! HE'S GONNA DO THAT!!!" allies shout in alarm. "AAA RGHH HH!!!" A fish-man soldier yells while aiming a weapon. The warrior declares "YABUSAME!!!" and unleashes a barrage, the droplets transforming mid-air. The massive impact sends shockwaves and debris flying as the technique activates, with "!!I" reactions from nearby figures.

The water droplets rapidly morph into countless arrows mid-flight. "THE DROPLETS ARE... TURNING INTO ARROWS...!!!" the attacker shouts with a fierce grin. "DAMN YOU...!!!" a soldier curses. "HOW DARE YOU ATTACK THE ELITE SOLDIERS OF MY ARMY SO CARELESSLY!!!" Neptune roars in fury. Arrows rain down with repeated "BISHUN" and "BISHU" impacts, striking targets and eliciting screams of "AAHH HHH!!!" Neptune commands "STOP THIS AT ONCE, YOU FOOL!!!" as the assault continues. "YOUR MAJESTY!!!" a voice cries out amid the chaos of "KATCHUD!!!" and further explosions.

Neptune stands firm as bullets strike him. A voice shouts, "WHAT KIND OF KING TAKES A BULLET FOR HIS SERVANTSI!!!" Hody Jones sneers, "YOU'RE THE FOOL, NEPTUNE!!!" Neptune grunts, "UNGH HH..." The attacker continues, "YOU REALLY AREN'T FIT FOR THE THRONE AT ALL!!!" A soldier cries, "YOUR MAJESTY!!! PLEASE, DON'T DO THIS!!!" Another yells, "AND HIS STRENGTH IS WAY BEYOND ARLONG'S!!" Hody's men roar, "THAT DESPICABLE!!! ATTACKING DEFENSELESS PRISONERS!!!" Neptune bellows, "DAMN YOU, HORDYYY YYYYY!!!" while soldiers plead, "YOUR MAJESTY!!!" In the chaos, Luffy charges forward with a massive strike, sending enemies flying amid impact lines and debris. An unseen voice calls, "ITTOURYUU YAKKOUDORI."

Luffy hurls Hody Jones through the air using him as a shield. Hody gasps, "GUEHH HH!!!" A crewmate yells, "H-HOLD ON A MINUTE, BOSS...!!!" Another protests, "THAT'S NOT -" Hody's face twists in rage as an ally realizes, "HE USED HIS OWN CREWMATE AS A SHIELD! HE REALLY IS A MONSTER!!!" Luffy orders, "GUYS... YOU GO AND UNTIE THE SOLDIERS!!!" A fish-man gasps, "EHHI!" Neptune's group laments, "WE WERE UNABLE TO KEEP OUR PROMISE TO RETURN ALL THE HOSTAGES UNHARMED!! OUR DEAL WITH THIS COUNTRY IS BROKEN!! AND THIS WATER FLOODING IN IS SAPPING ALL OF MY STRENGTH...." Nami's voice calls out, "COULD YOU LISTEN TO MEI!! NAMI-SAN SEEMS TO HAVE VANISHED OFF SOMEWHERE..." A soldier reacts, "SUCH HONESTY....!!" while another shouts, "WHATI! NAMI'S VANISHEDI!"

Hody Jones snarls, "DON'T LET THEM TRY ANYTHING!!!" while clutching a Den Den Mushi. A soldier reports, "I'M RUNNING OUT... OF STRENGTH....." Another urges, "HURRY UP AND FLEE!!! BUT FIRST, COULD YOU UNTIE THE PERSON NEXT TO YOUI" Hody commands, "CRUSH THEM ALL!!! NEPTUNE ARMY AND STRAW HAT PIRATES ALIKE!!!" A fish-man screams, "HISSATSU!! HAAAAAHHHHHHH!!!" while swinging a massive weapon. From above, a giant sea creature descends as someone yells, "RAFFLESIA MIDORIBOSHI!!!" Luffy shouts, "TAKE THIS!!" and an ally cries, "AHHH...!!! THAT'S... A 'FLOWER', FROM ABOVE THE SEA!!! WHAT A RARITY!!" amid explosive impacts and "PEW" sound effects.

The massive sea creature crashes down, sending waves and bubbles everywhere. Victims scream, "GUAAAAA HHH!!! IT STINKS!!!" Neptune mutters, "UGH... WHAT A PETTY ATTACK!!!" while gripping his trident. A soldier shouts, "RELEASE THE ROPES!! TAKE UP YOUR WEAPONS!!!" Another replies, "...IT'S NO USE." From the distance, someone yells, "ZOROOOO!! THE WATER IS GETTING TOO DEEP!!!" Zoro struggles in the flood, calling, "WELL, NOBODY'S GOING TO ESCAPE IF SOMEONE DOESN'T HOLD HIM OFF, ARE THEY...I" A voice answers, "WHAT OF YOURSELF...I!" while another requests, "I HAVE A REQUEST. COULD YOU GET THOSE TWO OUT OF HERE FOR MEI!!" Chains rattle as the water rises rapidly.

In a grand underwater hall, a massive fish-man pirate lunges forward with a huge anchor-like weapon while a scarred swordsman with spiky white hair leaps into a powerful stance, blades drawn amid swirling bubbles and debris. The swordsman glares intensely and says, "I HOPE YOU'RE NOT PLANNING..." The fish-man pirate roars back with a fierce grin, "...TO GET IN THE WAY OF MY COUP D'ÉTAT..." Large onomatopoeia "ドドドド" and impact effects fill the air as the confrontation erupts.

At the Coast of Coral Hill, a frantic voice shouts, "I HEAR ANOTHER TWO YOUNG MERMAIDS......HAVE VANISHED FROM THE SOUTHERN SHORE!! WHAT HAVE YOU DONE WITH THEMI!" Sanji yells furiously, "DON'T PLAY DUMB, YOU FILTHY PIRATES!!" He stands over a fallen striped-hatted figure who groans "OW..." while declaring, "HANG IN THERE, HACHI! YOU'RE GONNA BE ALL RIGHT!" Sanji continues, "FOR THE LOVE OF... HOW WOULD I KNOW WHAT HAPPENED TO THEMI!! I MEAN, SURE, I LOVE MERMAIDS SO MUCH THAT I'D LOVE TO ABDUCT THEM, BUT THAT DOESN'T MEAN I'M THE KIDNAPPER!!!" A crowd reacts in shock as someone yells, "IT'S LUFFY YYY!!!" and "HUHI! SANJI!! CHOOPER!!!" while another asks, "HEY, SANJI!! ARE YOU OVER THE NOSEBLEED THING ALREADY-I!" and "WHAT'S THAT PUFFER-FISH HE'S RIDING...I"

Chaos erupts as fish-men shout, "IT'S THE BOSS OF THE KIDNAPPERS!!!" and "LOOK!! THEIR CAPTAIN HAS ARRIVED!!!" A mermaid cries out, "A... ARE THEY FRIENDS OF YOURS, LUFFY-SAMAI" while others yell, "THEY'RE MEMBERS OF MY PIRATE CREW." Luffy, riding a large sea creature, declares, "WAIT UP, I'M GONNA HEAD DOWN THERE FOR A BIT!" as the creature growls "RROHH..." A massive shark-like fish-man struggles underwater, roaring "RRHHP!!...RR... RROOOGHHH...I!" while Megalo the whale begs, "I CANNOT BE SEEN BY ALL THOSE PEOPLE...! MEGALO, COULD YOU CLOSE YOUR MOUTH A LITTLE MOREI" The crowd reacts in horror: "THAT'S THE THING - HE WON'T TELL US ANYTHING! HE JUST KEEPS SAYING WE NEED TO GET OFF THE ISLAND..." "YOU'RE WOUNDED!! WHAT HAPPENEDI! WHO DID THIS TO YOUI!" "HACHI!!!! I THOUGHT THAT WAS YOU!!!" and "AAAAAHH HHHH!!! HE CAME DOWN!!!" as Luffy lands dramatically amid the panic.

The panicked crowd yells, "THE PRINCESS IS A GIANT WHITING MERMAID, AND THE BELOVED DAUGHTER OF KING NEPTUNE, TO BOOT!" "DON'T BE RIDICULOUS...!! THAT'S BEYOND IMPOSSIBLE!" "THESE GUYS ARE A BUNCH OF DIRTY MERMAID KIDNAPPERS... WHAT IF THEY'RE PLANNING ON KIDNAPPING PRINCESS SHIRAHOSHI...I!" and "...HANG ON, I THOUGHT STRAW HAT WAS SUPPOSED TO BE OCCUPYING THE ROYAL PALACE RIGHT NOWI!" Megalo bursts from the water with Shirahoshi in his jaws, prompting screams of "AAAHHH!" and "SQUIRM" as the princess struggles. Fish-men react with shock: "HMI... WHAT'S THAT PUFFERFISH...I" "URGLLL LHH...!!!" while the mob erupts in terror, shouting "ROUG HH..." and other exclamations as the situation spirals out of control.

A massive title erupts across the top of the page: PRINCESS SHIRAHOSHI!!!!!! Shirahoshi floats in the center, her long flowing hair and mermaid tail sparkling as she blushes with wide eyes. Sweat drops fly while a giant shark-like fishman looms behind her. She murmurs, "AH..." and "AH..." as background fish-men stare in shock. Below, chaos erupts in the lower panels. A voice cries out, "THEY'VE KIDNAPPED THE MERMAID PRINCESS!!!" Another warns, "IF YOU TURN AROUND, YOU'LL DIE!!" with sound effects "わあああああ" and "ゴォォォ". Sanji appears with swirling eyes and a frantic expression, shouting, "NO, SANJI!!! WHATEVER YOU DO, YOU MUST NOT TURN AROUND!!" Luffy stands nearby with a confused look, asking, "HMMMI IS THERE SOMEONE BEHIND MEI" A fish-man exclaims, "IS THAT THE MERMAID PRINCESSI!" while another reacts, "SHE'S HUGE!! AND DID THEY JUST SAY "PRINCESS"...I" Someone mutters, "AW, MAN..." as the scene pulses with tension and motion lines around the stunned crowd.
