## One Piece Chapter 616, pages 2-3: Anniversary of Revenge - Chapter: 616 - Pages: 2-3 - Characters: Hody Jones, Vander Decken IX, Princess Shirahoshi ### Summary Page 2: The border guard tries to contact the palace: "Calling the royal palace! This is the border guard!!" but receives no answer. The guards realize something is wrong: "This is strange... Why can't we seem to make contact...?" and ask, "Is the Den-Den Mushi ill...?" A report comes in that "A number of dangerous individuals from the Fishman District... have just been seen entering Fishman Island...!!" and they were not behaving like tourists: "They did not appear to be going on a mere shopping trip." The guard commander orders, "Now listen up, men. This day will go down in history..." The warning gives the chapter its political weight: Fish-Man Island is not facing random disturbance, but a planned incursion from the district tied to Hody Jones. Page 3: Hody Jones rides into the island with the New Fish-Man Pirates and speaks like a revolutionary conqueror. "As the day Fishman Island was unified under one vision!!!" he declares. He says, "This world is not right until all fishmen, merfolk included, are able to see things eye-to-eye...!!" but his vision is domination over humans: "Humans are an inferior species who cannot even breathe underwater. They should submit to our authority!!!" On the side, another voice says, "Time and again, history has taken the wrong path... But now, we're going to set things straight!!!" Vander Decken IX treats the invasion as part of his romance, laughing, "Bahohohu!! Today will be the anniversary of our engagement, Shirahoshi...!! No need to rush into things; the wedding can wait until... tomorrow!!!" The movement is both a coup and Decken's personal obsession.
