The cover story reads, "From Shipdecks Around The World Vol. 23: The Kingdom of Alabasta - Preparing New Outfits for This Year's Reverie." In Alabasta, royal attendants and guards prepare formal clothing for the coming Reverie, showing that the world above the sea is also moving toward its next political gathering while the battle on Fishman Island continues. Page 1: On Noah, Vander Decken IX is struck and screams, "Ngua hh!!!" The attack leaves him reeling as the fury between him and Hody Jones finally turns direct. Hody's name tears out across the page as "Hooooodyyyyy..." and Decken spits at him, "...you impudent brat!!!" Their alliance has collapsed into betrayal at the worst possible moment, with Noah still hanging over Fishman Island. Page 2: Decken reveals the trick behind his move: "I just touched you... with my left hand!!!" Hody glares back and demands, "Now explain yourself, traitor!!!" But Hody has already decided who betrayed whom. He tells Decken, "It was you who betrayed me first, Decken." When Noah blotted out the sky above the island, Hody thought his own life might end; then he saw the use in Decken's plan. He admits, "Your idea of breaking the bubble around the island is a good one, I'll admit." The island will perish, but the Fishman District will remain. Hody's conclusion is cold: "If you die here and now, your ability's effect will vanish...!!" Page 3: Hody explains exactly what he wants from Decken's death. Once the target ability disappears, "This ship will once more plummet down towards the island... destroying everything on it!!" To Hody, even thousands of his own allies are disposable if the Straw Hats die with them. He says, "The most important thing right now... is to ensure the destruction of that troublesome Straw Hat crew!! Thousands of my allies will perish alongside them... but slaves can always be easily replaced!!!" Decken realizes the scale of it and asks, "You mean to kill them all?" Hody answers that he likes the sound of that, but Decken's death comes first. Page 4: Decken panics, crying, "You can't be serious... No!!!" Hody closes in and unleashes the fishman-style strike "Gyoku Rukuruku" against him. The blow sends Decken helplessly away, his scream swallowed by the violence of the impact. Hody is not merely removing a partner; he is deliberately releasing Noah from the power that had kept it aimed at Shirahoshi. Page 5: Decken tumbles away from Noah while Hody laughs, "Jahaha hahaha..." He turns from the fallen traitor to his next target and says, "...now then, before this ship begins to fall... I had better dispose of Shirahoshi." For the moment Noah still follows Decken's ability, but Hody knows that once Decken dies, the great ship will drop toward Fishman Island. He moves to kill Shirahoshi before that final fall. Page 6: The princes see the betrayal from below. They shout, "Hody took out Decken!! What is going on with those two?!" and then realize, "And now he's heading this way!!" Hody barrels toward them and snarls, "You're in the way!!!" Shirahoshi cries, "My brothers!!!" as Hody continues, "Hurry up and die!!!" Now that she is out of Shell Tower and in open water, he says, destroying her should be simple. Someone urges her, "Shirahoshi, run away as fast as you can!!!" Page 7: Hody's speed in the deep sea turns the chase into terror. He boasts, "Even the speed of a mermaid, fastest creature under the sea... is nothing compared to me now!!!" Shirahoshi watches her brothers in danger and cries, "My brothers!!!" Luffy begins to move from inside the bubble, calling out, "Gomu Gomu no..." but Hody is already rushing through the water toward the princess and the princes. Page 8: Fukaboshi cuts into Hody's path with "Snake Shot!!!" and Hody is knocked back with a cry of "Nguaaaahhhhhhhhh!!!" Shirahoshi and Luffy call out, "Fukaboshi-onisama!!!" and "Luffy-sama!!" Fukaboshi apologizes for arriving late, saying, "My apologies. I would have arrived earlier, but there were a few preparations to be made." Even after landing the hit, he judges his own weakened strength and says, "Mmm, that's not as strong as I'd like..." Page 9: Hody turns his hatred on Luffy and the threat becomes personal. He says, "We're in the ocean depths, you inferior being!!!" and declares, "You have no chance against me!!!" Hody lists everything Luffy is trying to save: "Shirahoshi, Fishman Island, your crewmates... they're all doomed!!!" Then he drives the knife in: "You can't protect a single one of them!!!" Luffy answe...
