Chapter 609 summary
Sanji floats underwater amid mermaids who laugh at his heavy nosebleed while he declares he wants to live there. Camie tells Pappug and the others she must see the mermaid princess, and they note Sanji's uncommon blood type after his earlier nosebleeds. Luffy stares in shock and excitement at the Ryugu Kingdom's coral buildings and bubble domes, shouting about Jinbe and recalling how the former Shichibukai helped him after Ace's death. He insists Jinbe is his friend, but others warn against associating with Shichibukai and explain that Jinbe and the Fishman Pirates left the island after the war. Luffy clutches his head upon learning he cannot see Jinbe, just as panic erupts over an approaching kingdom ship. Camie screams in alarm while Nami urges Luffy and the others to hide from the rare royal vessel. A massive royal gondola glides toward the group amid debate over whether any royal family members are aboard. The three Neptune brothers arrive and declare that everyone must make way for them.
