The cover story continues "From Shipdecks Around The World Vol 16: Twin Capes." Crocus sits calmly with Laboon behind him while another figure stands nearby at the lighthouse. The image is related cover-story material and does not advance the main Fishman Island plot. Page 1: In Fishman District, aboard the enormous ship Noah, Vander Decken IX spirals through heartbreak and rage. His crew tries to reassure him, "Cap'n Decken!! You'll get lucky someday!!" but Decken snaps, "Don't give me empty reassurances, you idiots!!!" He says his heart is broken, so he has shaved his head, and when someone asks, "Just the top?!" he ignores the absurdity. Decken insists he only decided to marry Shirahoshi for the sake of fulfilling his ancestor's dream, but now he is obsessed because she rejected him. He quotes the wound back to himself: "Not my type," and concludes, "That was when I realised... truly, this was love!" The worst part, he says, is that he still has not managed to kill her, and the stuff he threw at her keeps hurtling away because "that Straw Hat brute is protecting her." Page 2: Decken's rage suddenly becomes a plan. His men tell him, "Oh, hang on!" and ask, "What wrong, Cap'n?!" Decken decides, "That's right... I should just crush them all in one fell swoop! Every last one of 'em!!" With a theatrical "BAHOH!" and "BAHO HOHOHO HOHOH!!!" he stands before Noah and announces, "Ohhhh, I just had the most beeeaaauuutiful idea!!!" The scene cuts to Fishman Island's Gyovelley Hills, where the people realize that, in the end, the sea monsters alone were enough to annihilate them. Decken's revenge and Hody's assault are now converging on the same terrified island. Page 3: The Neptune Army lies scattered and beaten in the Gyovelley Hills. People cry, "Minister of the Right!! Minister of the Left!!!" and then realize the scale of the defeat: "...The whole Neptune Army...!!!" The ministers have fallen with the soldiers, and the battlefield is littered with wreckage, monsters, and bodies. One voice says, "So close...!!" while another laments, "We were so close...!!" The page makes it clear that the royal defenders almost reached Gyoncord Plaza, but Hody's sea monsters broke them before the execution could be stopped. Page 4: The defeated soldiers and citizens think of Queen Otohime, crying, "Ohhh, Queen Otohime...!!!" and remembering that at this year's Reverie her wishes were finally going to come true. They ask, "How did it come to this...?" and beg for protection because in just an hour their beloved king will be murdered. Outside Gyoncord Plaza, the entrance has been sealed, and the people cannot get in. Someone hears pirates whooping and howling inside and suggests climbing above the plaza to see what is happening. The execution site is closed off, but the terror inside is already loud enough to reach everyone outside. Page 5: Inside Gyoncord Plaza, the place where Queen Otohime was assassinated and where Neptune's execution is now set to happen, Hody Jones arrives with his army. A kraken appears among the sea monsters, and someone shouts, "Whoa aaaa!! A kraken?!" Hody rides in with the chained king and declares the fallen forces "my soldiers...!!" He sits before the plaza with Neptune bound nearby, introduced in full as HODY JONES, a great white shark fishman. The people can only watch as the same public square that once held Otohime's dream becomes the stage for Hody's new kingdom. Page 6: Hody's officers laugh at the defeated army: "Ahaha hahahah hah!!!" and "What pathetic soldiers!! And they thought they could protect their country!!!" One notices Hody's condition and says, "Hody..." as the others realize he may be about to do something dangerous. Ikaros panics that if Hody blows himself up with dynamite, he will become dried squid, while Dosun warns he will take someone else with him. Hody, still hidden by smoke and pain, mutters strange sounds instead of a clear answer. The page shows even his own commanders hesitating; Hody's new strength is becoming unstable enough to frighten the people who follow him. Page 7: A soldier tries to run before the princes arrive, thinking, "If I can take out even one of these fiends before the princes arrive, I will be satisfied...!!" Hody calmly flicks a drop of water from his fingers. The others warn, "Hey, this looks pretty dangerous!!" and then Hody fires with "Uchimizu," a small burst of water that becomes a lethal projectile. The shot hurls the soldier away before he can reach Hody. The translator note identifies the word as "firing water," but on the page it reads like a bullet: Hod...
