Short Summary
With the Sea Kings having stopped and saved the great ship Noah, Shirahoshi learns a startling secret from the Sea Kings. Meanwhile, the missing and captured Mermaids have been found but they have been replaced with some other valuable items from the Palace. The remaining humans and New Fishman Pirates are being rounded up and caught by the Strawhat Crew and Jinbe, while Shirahoshi rescues a collapsed and unconsious Luffy from Noah's remains. However, if Luffy is to survive from his injuries taken from his battle with Hody Jones and his unsuccsessful destruction of Noah, the only thing that can save him is a blood transfusion, but the merfolk are reluctant to donate blood as it is forbidden in Fishman Island to give blood to a human.
