The cover story continues "From Shipdecks Around The World Vol 14: Cocoyashi Village." Bell-mere's grave is shown with Nojiko, Genzo, and other Cocoyashi villagers visiting it, while a small image of Nami appears as part of the memorial composition. This is related manga material and cover-story continuity rather than the chapter's main Fishman Island action. Page 1: In the Ocean Forest, the argument from the previous chapter erupts in front of everyone. Nami cries, "Luffy...!! Jimbei!!" and asks, "Wait a minute, would you?! What are you two saying?!!" Luffy states his intention plainly: "I'm gonna go to the palace, save my friends..." and adds that he will "kick that Hordy guy's ass!!!" Jinbe blocks him just as firmly: "And I am saying that you must not!!!" Sanji looks at the two of them and asks, "Seriously...?! Do we really need a fight here?!" while Chopper panics, "Stop this, you guys...!!" The page frames the clash not as a misunderstanding, but as two urgent duties colliding. Page 2: Shirahoshi calls after them, "Luffy-sama!! Boss Jimbei-sama!!" as Luffy tries to leave on Megalo, shouting, "Shark!! Take me to the Ryuguu Palace!!!" Megalo reacts with "RRHH HHH?!" but Jinbe moves first. Luffy notices the stance with a sharp "Hm?" as Jinbe begins, "Fishman Karate..." and launches "Samegawara Seiken!!!" The blow catches Luffy before he can escape, punching through the air and water around him. The page makes Jinbe's intervention physical and decisive: he is not debating anymore, he is using Fishman Karate to stop Luffy from charging into the palace. Page 3: Jinbe's Samegawara Seiken sends Luffy flying, and Luffy grunts, "NGUAH HHHHH HH...!!!" Chopper and Nami cry out, "Luffy-chin!!!" as Luffy clutches himself and gasps, "Ungh!!!" and "Urghh... that hurt!!" Nami realizes the strike reached him in a way ordinary blunt force should not: "Eh?! His punches damage Luffy's body?!!" Jinbe explains the principle behind Fishman Karate: "The secret of Fishman Karate lies in the mastery of water...!!" By using the water in the atmosphere, it sends powerful waves that impact the water within the opponent's body. Luffy's rubber body is not exempt from that inner shock. Page 4: Jinbe presses the lesson, saying, "All living beings are filled with water!!" and "Even a rubber man cannot escape this truth!!!" Luffy answers by winding up with "Gomu Gomu no..." and slamming in with "Jet Stamp!!!" His foot crashes into Jinbe with a loud "STOMP!" but Jinbe holds firm, asking through the impact, "...Is this all that your training has achieved?!!" Luffy glares back, injured but still defiant. The page sets their strengths against each other directly: Jinbe's disciplined water mastery against Luffy's newly sharpened speed and force. Page 5: Before the fight can spiral further, Robin steps between them with calm authority: "That's enough." Luffy, still rushing forward, shouts, "Robin!!! Get out of the way!!!" and Jinbe snaps, "Who are you?! Move yourself!!!" Robin simply stands there, letting the two fighters collide around her presence, and the force of their exchange breaks apart before it reaches another decisive hit. Nami screams, "Robin!!!" while Sanji cries, "Robin-chan is in trouble!!" Robin's intervention stops both sides without matching their violence; she turns the page from impact back toward reason. Page 6: The clash leaves Luffy and Jinbe sprawled and battered, while Sanji, Nami, and the others stare in confusion. Someone asks, "Why is Robin coming out of the forest?" and Robin answers the larger problem with a composed question: "Aha... I'm not sure what's going on exactly. But we're all on the same side here, yes? We shouldn't be fighting amongst ourselves." Shirahoshi and Megalo pant nearby, the forest still around them except for the dust and motion from the fight. Robin's arrival reframes the situation: before they can save anyone, they have to stop wasting strength against allies. Page 7: Jinbe sits up and tells Luffy to think about what he is doing: "If you and your friends start rampaging across Fishman Island, what will the result be...?!!" He explains that every time the fish-man race has tried to make peace with humans, humans have stood in their way. The old beliefs are still lodged in people's hearts: "Humans are a violent and dangerous race!" and "Humans look down on fishmen and detest them!" Jinbe says this is the reality their people have learned from the cruel path history has taken. Even with Arlong, many still believe he was hunted down by humans purely fo...
