The cover story reads, "From Shipdecks Around The World Vol. 32: Skypiea - Godly Satisfaction With This Year's Crop." In Skypiea, Gan Fall and another Skypiean drink happily among a large harvest while Pierre watches nearby. This is cover-story material and not part of the Fishman Island aftermath. Page 1: The human pirates who had been trapped on Fishman Island celebrate as soon as Hody is beaten. They shout, "Woohoooooooo!!!" "All right!!! We're free!!!" and "That damn Hody got what he deserved!!!" One cries, "Ahhhh...!! I thought I was doomed to a life of slavery...!!" Some already talk like new pirates again: "Now to become the Pirate King!!" and "Finally, we can sail on to the New World!!!" Neptune does not share their mood. Asked whether he fears resentment for Hody, he answers that this is not what they should be thinking about now. Fishman Island has long been a tourist attraction and resting place for the pirates of the world, and there is no reason to keep the visitors any longer. Page 2: Neptune addresses the remaining followers of the New Fishman Pirates. Some beg, "Aahhhh!! Please don't behead us!! Anything but that!!" and insist, "We didn't know anything about Hody killing the queen!! Those guys were crazy, I tell you!!!" Neptune says, "Now, then... From now on, you will live here, on Fishman Island proper." The crowd erupts: "What?!" One man protests, "You mean we have to live by the laws of the kingdom?!" Another replies, "Sounds good to me. Better than being ruled by Hody..." but a minister objects that they cannot have brutes freely walking their streets and that children would be too scared to leave the house. Page 3: Neptune makes the sentence clear. The criminals will be placed under direct supervision of the Neptune Army and made to do honest work, their considerable physical strength put to good use. As for the lawless Fishman District, "where this trouble began," Neptune declares that from this day forth it will be "sealed off entirely!!!" The narration names Hody Jones as "the pirate Hody Jones, true assassin of Queen Otohime," and as "embodiment of the darkness that haunts the whole fishman race." Hody failed in his attempt to conquer Fishman Island, his ambitions crushed by human pirates visiting the island. The only loose thread is practical: where is Straw Hat Luffy? Page 4: The Straw Hats have already left the plaza, riding away in a bubble lift. Sanji asks why they all left as if running from something, after making "a giant spectacle fighting like that in front of the whole damn country." Zoro says if they had hung around, the people might have made them out to be heroes, and just the thought makes him shudder. Nami asks, "Do you not like the idea of being heroes?" Zoro answers with his logic: a hero shares his drink with everyone else, while he wants to drink his own booze. Nami snaps, "Seriously, what's up with this logic you people have?!!!" and shouts, "Why would you say no, Jinbe?!! C'mon, let's go adventuring together!!!" Page 5: The crew presses Jinbe to accept Luffy's invitation. Someone says, "Yeah, you should join the crew, boss-man!!" and Chopper adds, "It would be awesome to have a former Shichibukai on the crew!" but Jinbe stops them: "I'm saying it's just not possible right now, that's all!" He is grateful for the invitation and says it would be a great pleasure to travel with them, but there are things remaining that he must do. His current position and this incident were only a necessary detour. Once he fulfills his duty and is free of such constraints, he promises to find Luffy again wherever he may be. If Luffy still feels the same way, Jinbe hopes for another invitation to join the Straw Hat Pirates. Luffy tells him, "You'd better keep that promise!!" Page 6: The Straw Hats accept Jinbe's answer. Franky says, "A friend of Luffy's is a friend of ours. We're all waiting for you, Jinbe!" Nami smiles, while Zoro, Brook, Robin, and Sanji agree in their own ways. Robin says Luffy certainly likes Jinbe a lot, and Sanji warns them not to pressure the man while he is speaking about duty and honour. Before the crew can leave, Ryugu Palace catches up with their ship. A messenger calls, "Please wait, pirates of the Straw Hat crew!! Your Majesty, we have caught up with their ship!" Neptune says, "I see," and invites them properly: "Luffy-kun!!! We still owe you...
