"The Straw Hat Pirates have reached Fishman Island, Captain."

Dela reports the Straw Hat Pirates' progress to Buggy in the Captain's room. They are currently sailing to a newly discovered island that was found by one of their expedition teams. None of them want to miss this opportunity, so they go to the island as fast as possible.

"Hmm, let's stop observing them."

"Pardon?"

"Tell the men to stop following them. I don't want to know what they do from now on, unless they appear on the news. It won't be fun if I know their progress every day. Knowing they can reach Fishman Island is enough for now."

"Understood. But Jinbe has just contacted us. He was asking if Sun Pirates can handle that problem without us. They want to show that they are still strong to their people."

"No problem, just tell him that he can ask our help anytime he needs it. Fishman Island is still our ally, so we will help them anytime they need it."

The problem that Jinbe wants to solve with his crew is a war against another Fishman Pirate crew. It is led by a Tiger Shark Fishman who was a member of Sun Pirates. Buggy has killed Hody Jones in the past, but many Fishmen are still not satisfied with how things go with humans.

Many Fishmen still hate humans and want to conquer the world to enslave humans. They were hiding in the dark and accumulated their force for years. Most of their core members were from Sun Pirates who left when Fisher Tiger joined the Revolutionary Army.

They were very dissatisfied with Tiger who joined hands with humans but couldn't do anything because he was stronger than all of them. Jinbe is also too strong for them, so they hide for years. They finally come out of their hiding now because of the Celestial Dragons' defeat.

It's their greatest chance to get on top while the world is in chaos. But Sun Pirates and Ryugu Kingdom managed to suppress them so far with the help of Clown Pirates' groups. Their war has been dragged on for too long and now it seems Jinbe wants to end this already.

"It's good that Jinbe finally decided to end this. He always wanted to stop the war peacefully, but it was too difficult. Those guys, especially the leaders can't be changed already. I even doubt they actually hate humans. They might just want to rule and they are using their fellow Fishmen's grudge against humans. We can only eradicate them, but Jinbe was too soft because they are his kin and old friends."

"I will tell the ones on New World's 1st islands to get ready to move to Fishman Island anytime then."

"Alright, I doubt they will need to go, but better prepare for the worst scenario."

Dela gives more reports, but they aren't as important as the previous one. So Buggy handles them quickly and focuses on the journey to the new island again. They haven't found an unknown island for a long time, so this is very exciting.

Meanwhile, the Straw Hat Pirates have finally met Sun Pirates on Fishman Island. Luffy and Jinbe have met in the Marineford War, so both crews get closer rather easily. The Sun Pirates guide them exploring Fishman Island together with Caimie & Papag.

When they are in Mermaid Cafe, the royal family suddenly shows up to meet them. Otohime is the most excited because she wants to see Buggy's son & daughter. She has heard about Straw Hat Pirates many times, especially about Leo & Nami because they are Buggy's kids.

Shirahoshi also joins her family as there is no Decken who would disturb her because Buggy killed that guy years ago and took the Flying Dutchman to be used on Clownland. But she is still a shy and cowardly girl, so she hides behind her much smaller mother who can't even cover her nose.
