Luffy, Mermaid Cafe, Hody Jones ### Summary Page 0: The cover page gives the chapter title, "Phantom." The cover story reads, "From Shipdecks Around The World Vol. 26: The Saruyama Alliance - A Quest of Romance for the Legendary Island of Nacroire." Mont Blanc Cricket, Masira, and Shoujou sail together, laughing and celebrating as the Saruyama Alliance begins a romantic treasure-hunt style voyage toward the legendary island of Nacroire. This is world cover-story material, not part of the Fishman Island battle. Page 1: Gyoncord Plaza erupts into close combat. Neptune's soldiers and the citizens who chose to stay crash into the remaining New Fishman Pirates while the sound of battle rolls across the plaza. Blades, spears, and fists send pirates flying as the once-dominant army starts to buckle. Amid the chaos, one of Hody's officers regains himself with a startled "Gashiraa!!" and the page catches the rough cries of the melee: "Urghhh..." "Ahh..." and "Unh hhr!" Page 2: The slave tank prisoners suddenly find their chains falling away. They shout, "Our chains came off!!" and the New Fishman Pirates panic: "Who unlocked the chains on the slaves?!" and "What's gotten into these slaves?!!" The freed men attack their former captors while Robin stands calmly behind the act. One slave asks, "Was it you who did this?! Why did you save us?!" Robin answers, "I can't turn down a request from a handsome man." Then she clarifies, "Thank Boss Jinbe, not me." Page 3: Hammond tries to catch Robin again and boasts, "Hamo-hamo!! I got you good!!!" but the body he catches is only part of her power. Robin activates "Cuerpo Fleur!!" and another Robin blooms behind him. Hammond yells, "Whoa?! When did you get back there?!!" while she calmly says, "This will be over quickly. Just hold still..." The fishman panics as two of her bodies restrain him at once: "Huh?! Get off me!! Who the hell are you?!!" Page 4: Robin finishes Hammond with "Double Clutch!!" His body is twisted and folded until he screams, "Guoooooohhhh!!!" The freed human slaves cheer and rush through the battlefield. The New Fishman Pirates cry, "Ahhhh!! Hammond-saaaan!!!" and blame Robin: "That woman!!" Another shouts that the human slaves are running wild, and one former prisoner declares, "We owe you big time, lady, and you... you're gonna pay for what you did to us...!" Page 5: Zeo hides under his "Camouflage Carpet!!!" and mocks Brook from concealment: "I'm right here, you fool... heh eheheh... But by the time you realise, you'll be long dead!!!" Brook looks around and admits, "I seem to have lost sight of him!!" yet he immediately strikes anyway, saying, "I heard a voice coming from around here!!!" Zeo is hit and screams, "Aaaa ghhhhh hhh!!!" The joke is precise: Brook did not see Zeo, but he did not need to. Page 6: Zeo reveals another trick after Brook's blade cuts him. He coughs, "Did you see that, skeleton?!! Your blade has fallen foul of my deadly 'Body Sword Crush' attack...!" and claims that soon Brook's weapon will rust away and become worthless. Brook simply answers, "Yes, yes, I stabbed you." Zeo attacks with "Kamikakure Flail!!!" and "66 Neck!!!" but Brook has grown beyond such tricks. He says, "Over these past two years I have come to understand... the true power of the Yomi Yomi no Mi...!" Page 7: Brook explains the power behind his new state. Though his spirit has parted from his body and now belongs in the afterlife, it remains in this world, allowing him to live on. Even if he leaves his body behind, he remains visible as a distinct entity, and the thing that exists is not organs, tendons, or muscles, but his soul. Through music he can touch the souls of others, drawing them into his world and bewitching their senses. When Zeo claims victory over a fallen Straw Hat, Brook cuts him off: "I think not!" He calls it "the power that holds me in this world" and releases a long cry of "...Soooooooooul!!!" Page 8: Brook draws his blade and says that as long as his bones themselves are not shattered, no attack has any effect upon his skeletal form. He announces that he has learned the name of his blade, honed to perfection by Tenaga workmanship, and strikes with "Soul Solid!!!" Each cut is imbued with his soul's own energy, inflicting the chill of the underworld upon its victims. Zeo shivers, "Ahhhh!! So... so cold!!" as Brook tells him to witness the terror of his icy blade. Page 9: Usopp faces Daruma and thinks of the crew's growth. He says, "Talk about a tough act to follow...!!" and reminds himself that all his crewmates have gained the skills to make it in the New World ahead. Daruma mocks him as the weak l...
