Long Summary
The chapter starts with the three princes defeated tied up along side Neptune. Shirahoshi and Jinbe are over the plaza and see something that looks like Neptune. The princes apologize to their father for letting the country fall into Hody's hands. The New Fishman Pirates are excited, suggesting different ways of killing their captives. Hody tells them to be quiet, since there is no report on Shirahoshi's death from Decken and his crew. Without her gone, the plan would be meaningless. Manboshi is furious at Hody for targeting Shirahoshi, who isn't even a threat. Hody replies that, on the contrary, Shirahoshi is the biggest threat to him. Just then, Shirahoshi, Jinbe, and Megalo all crash to the ground in chains. Jones thinks it is his lucky day, as the two he wanted to kill the most have fallen right in front of him. Shirahoshi apologizes for falling into such an obvious trap. The citizens are surprised at the arrival of both people. Hody says that the only people left are the Straw Hats, who should have arrived at Ryugu Palace by now. But that doesn't matter since preparations have been made. Pirates start walking out of a nearby building. There are 70,000 pirates, and 30,000 human slaves, giving Hody an army of 100,000.

Someone calls out to Hody from the crowd, telling him not to get carried away. It is Madame Shirley. Shirley tells him about the prediction she made about Fishman Island being destroyed. Hody is not surprised, and asks if he was the one that she saw from her prediction. Shirley tells him that it is in fact Luffy who is going to destroy the island. Hody shoots her out of anger that he might be contradicted. Hody then asks if this is her idea of revenge. He tells her that he is different from her older brother, Arlong, who was admired in the Fishman District. But he obtained power. He put his plan into motion ten years ago. Hody Jones then reveals that he was the one who killed Queen Otohime. Everyone is shocked. The officers laugh, and Daruma asks how they could not have noticed this by now. Hody explains that he paid off a human to set fire to the petition box by shooting it. In the midst of the panic caused by that, he shot Otohime and then framed the human. Neptune is furious, but Hody shoots him with a Water Shot at point blank range. He then tells everyone that Otohime's ideals made her death inevitable, asking Shirahoshi if he was right, telling her again that he killed her mother. Much to everyone's surprise, Shirahoshi tells him that she already knew.

The scene changes to the Fishman District. The Flying Pirates are panicking. Vander Decken IX tells him that long ago the people of Fishman Island made a giant ship called Noah, which he had just touched with his right hand. The ship is now heading to Fishman Island, where Shirahoshi is. The ship will crash into the island, killing Shirahoshi and destroying the island.
