The cover story reads, "From Shipdecks Around The World Vol. 33: Long Ring Long Land - Tonjit's Grandchildren." On Long Ring Long Land, Tonjit sits outdoors with his grandchildren gathered around him, the scene calm and separate from the Fishman Island story. Page 1: Inside Ryugu Palace, Robin quietly lays out the truth of the Ancient Weapons before Neptune. She explains, "For whatever reason, in the ancient world there existed..." "...three great weapons with power enough to destroy the world." Those weapons are not vague legends to her. "Three ancient weapons..." she says, "...each bearing the name of a god." The names hang in the chamber one by one: "Pluton"... "Uranus"... "...and Poseidon." Robin then turns the history directly toward the royal family: "And one of those three weapons... is your daughter." Neptune, heavy with the burden of the secret, answers only, "I cannot deny it." Page 2: Robin understands why the secret has been guarded so closely. She tells Neptune, "I can see why you would keep this a closely-guarded secret." If the world learned that Shirahoshi was Poseidon, "all manner of different factions..." would seek that power, "including both pirates, and the government...!!" Nearby, a wet shape rises with a "GLOOP" and Caribou hears everything. He trembles with greed: "An ancient weaaaapon?! A power capable of destroying the wooorld?!" Then he whispers to himself, "Is it just me, or did I just overhear a major scoop?!" and laughs, "Kehihihihihithi?! I see, I see... That mermaid princess, eh...?" Elsewhere in the palace, Jinbe tries to pull Luffy's attention back to the world around him: "Luffy, I do think you should pay a little more attention..." Luffy answers, "Really?" Jinbe says he wants to speak "somewhere more private," and Luffy casually replies, "Sure! Hang on a minute... I'll just go fetch some things to eat!" Page 3: Luffy returns to the others still eating, cheeks full, and calls out, "Oh, hey! You guys are out here too?" Around him the Straw Hats are recovering from the banquet in their own ways. Usopp admits, "I drank a little too much! I came out here to sober up." Chopper says, "And I ate too much. I'm stuffed." Sanji is collapsed in bliss because "Sanji's recovering from a mermaid overdose," while Brook declares, "Fishman Island is the best!!" Jinbe resumes the news from the outside world, and Luffy reacts in shock: "Whaaaat?! Akainu and Aokiji had a big fight?!" Jinbe says Rayleigh was right that Luffy does not do things by halves, but Luffy has missed a major incident. Chopper has heard of this one too. Jinbe explains that immediately after the war two years ago, Fleet Admiral Sengoku stepped down, forcing the question of a successor. Sengoku himself recommended Aokiji, "a man who commands great respect from his subordinates," but among the upper echelons of the World Government, Akainu became the favored candidate. Page 4: Jinbe continues the account over the memory of the two admirals facing one another. "As you may know, Aokiji isn't exactly a man of action. He tends to take things as they come." But this time, Aokiji "objected vigorously to the prospect of Akainu becoming fleet admiral." The two were fiercely opposed, and the unprecedented conflict between Marine admirals became an all-out battle on a certain island. The terms were clear: "The loser would forfeit all further right to object," while "the victor would take absolute control of the Marine forces." Luffy listens with a stiff, alarmed face as Jinbe says the battle raged "for ten whole days," with the world waiting on tenterhooks. Though the two admirals were almost equal in strength, one man ultimately emerged victorious. Page 5: Jinbe gives the result plainly: "The victor was Akainu!!" and "Sakazuki is the new fleet admiral of the Marines...!!" Luffy grips himself at the name and mutters, "Akainu...!!" The cost was brutal. When Nami asks, "So did Aokiji die, then?" Jinbe says both parties were severely wounded, but "even Akainu could not find it in himself... to slaughter the one-time ally who lay helpless before him." Aokiji staunchly refused to serve under Akainu and left the Marines. Robin asks whether Aokiji is no longer a Marine, and Jinbe confirms, "Indeed. I do not know what has become of him since." One thing, however, is certain: "The Marines have lost a powerful asset." Pag...
