He looks at the shaky needle and says, "I like the look of that island in the middle with the really shaky needle! We should go there!!!" Nami screams, "Noooooooo!!!" and the rest of the crew realizes, "He was listening!!!" Nami protests that deciding where they go has nothing to do with Luffy because she is the one who decides the route. Luffy shouts, "Don't be stupid!! I'm the captain!!!" while the others beg the captain to listen to the navigator. Franky asks if everyone is ready to set sail and says he is clear on how to take them up. Luffy grins and gives the order: "Let's go!!!" Page 9: As the ship prepares to leave, the people of Fishman Island call after the Straw Hats. 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.
