Short Summary
Robin and Neptune continue their talk while Caribou eavesdrops on them and decides to kidnap Shirahoshi. Jinbe tells the Straw Hat Pirates what happened in the world during their absence. He tells them that Akainu and Aokiji battled for the title of Fleet Admiral and that Akainu was the victor. He also tells them that Blackbeard became the new Yonko. Everyone but Luffy listens to Jinbe. Then Luffy, Zoro and Sanji sense an animal in the palace so they decide to go to Shirahoshi's room. There they find Caribou trying to kidnap her and right after, Caribou is seen flying down towards Fishman Island. Nami finds out that he stole everything from the treasury, so Nami sends Luffy, Zoro and Sanji flying after Caribou. An ammo knight brings Neptune to Hody's cell where he sees him and all the other New Fishman Pirates officers very old. The Minister of the Left is informed that two workers from the Candy Factory are coming and they can't make their monthly candy payment to Big Mam.

Long Summary
Robin and Neptune continue their conversation, and Robin mentions that there are three ancient weapons: Pluton, Uranus, and Poseidon. Then Neptune warned her to not tell anyone about Shirahoshi in fear that the government and pirates would hunt her. Caribou is eavesdropping on their conversation and goes to kidnap Shirahoshi. Meanwhile, Jinbe tells Luffy and Straw Hat Pirates about the major events that took place during the time-skip. The first is Aokiji and Akainu's duel to decide who will became the new Fleet Admiral, which Akainu won after ten days of fighting. As a result, Aokiji left the Marines. The second is Blackbeard, who conquered all the Whitebeard Pirates' territory and claimed the seat of Yonko in the process and began his hunt of Devil Fruit users to obtain their powers. Luffy, Zoro, and Sanji then leave the conversation to check on Shirahoshi.

The three boys find Caribou in the process of kidnapping Shirahoshi and Luffy proceeds to kick him from the tower. After hearing from Neptune that Caribou stole the treasure, he tells Nami that he will give it to them as a reward for saving his country if they can get it back. After Nami finds out that Luffy had kicked Caribou of the tower, she sends Luffy, Zoro, and Sanji after him so she can have the treasure..

Neptune is then told by one of his soldiers that something has happened to Hody and his crew. When he reaches their prison cell, he finds Hody Jones and the New Fishman Pirates have become very old and are planning on taking their revenge against the Strawhats. The Minister of the Right deduces that the Energy Steroids, which came from inside the Tamatebako (national treasure of fishman island), are the cause and Hody confesses that he stole them. Neptune then tells them to forget about their intention of seeking revenge against humans considering the state that they're in and says he will have to re-think their punishment.

Meanwhile, a soldier comes to the Minister of the Left, reporting that two of Big Mam's men have come to the island to collect her monthly candy payment. Unfortunately, because the candy factory was destroyed by the New Fishman Pirates and the remaining sweets were sent to the party, there is not enough candy for Big Mam this month. The Minister of the Left is then worried about Big Mam's reaction, saying that she is "a monster who would destroy a country for the sake of sweets".
