One fishman says he will help with the repairs at the factory and asks if the crew will be okay without a guide. Luffy answers that they will be fine because they managed to have fun adventures on the way there. Someone praises that spirit as the true way of a man who follows his own path "into the jaws of hell," while others worry the crew is losing it. The mermaids invite them back anytime. Sanji, overwhelmed by the mermaids, declares that the All Blue of his heart's desire can be found right there, and promises to come back. Luffy and Shirahoshi clasp hands, and she offers him her deepest thanks. Luffy replies simply, "Great!" while she promises that her people will pray for their safety. Page 10: The princes of Fishman Island send the Straw Hats off with pride. They promise, "Next time we see you, we'll be leading the greatest fighting force the depths have ever seen! You count on it!! Ooh, mambo!!" Another says their tales will become so amazing that even the tale of the great warrior Neptune will pale in comparison. Luffy says he looks forward to it. Then, from the deck, he calls back to Jinbe. Jinbe watches him silently for a moment, and Luffy answers the unfinished promise with a bright, firm "All right!!!" Their exchange confirms that Luffy still expects Jinbe to join him someday, even if Jinbe cannot leave with them now.
