Chapter Notes

 * Sanji sees the Mermaid Princess and turns to stone, but he survives.
 * Shirahoshi rejects Vander Decken IX saying that he is not her type.
 * Luffy easily brings down Decken, but he gets back up shortly afterwards.
 * Luffy, Sanji, Chopper, Hatchan, Nami, and Keimi are all heading for the Sea Forest.
 * Zoro seems to have defeated Hordy Jones with one slash.
 * This is the second time Sanji has turned to stone, the first was when he saw Hancock. Ironically, she is also considered the most beautiful woman in the world.
 * Nami reveals she left with Keimi to go to the Sea Forest. With that in mind that makes five Straw Hats heading to the Sea Forest with one already there.
 * With Jinbe's message to not fight Hordy in mind, Nami worries that Zoro will anger him. Keimi also tells Nami that Hordy has an extremely dangerous mind.
 * Pandaman appeared among the crowd on the page where Shirahoshi rejected Vander Decken's IX's proposal.
