Short Summary
The Sea Kings give a speech to Shirahoshi about her and their role. They do that as they carry Noah back to the place where it was standing before. Shirahoshi then swims away to catch Luffy. The mermaids that have been kidnapped were found at Ryugu Palace and the treasury was emptied. At the Gyoncorde Plaza, close to the Sunny the Straw Hats wait. Chopper can't walk due to using his monster point and Robin is holding him. Neptune and the princes bring Hody and Vander Decken IX to the plaza and tie them up. Then Shirahoshi arrives with Luffy crying for help. Luffy lost a large amount of blood and he needs a transfusion. Chopper asks out for one and Jinbe offers to donate. After Luffy regains consciousness, he asks Jinbe to join his crew.
