Summary
The Straw Hats encounter the mysterious Fishmen riding one of the sea-beasts. One of the Fishmen, Hammond, insults the Kraken for carrying the crew or "those sinful humans". The Kraken gets scared and leave the Thousand Sunny and its crew behind. After the Kraken left, Hammond addresses the crew and their achievements (namely beating Arlong, defending Hachi, and punching a World Noble). He then offers the crew a choice: either join the New Fishman Pirates or die. Luffy immediately responds by saying no and making a face at Hammond. During all of this, Nami tells Franky to use a full powered Coup de Burst. By using the acceleration of the burst, they will rocket towards Fishman island and escape their enemies.

Everyone immediately prepares the ship and afterwards, Franky launches the Coup de Burst, sending the Sunny straight towards Fishman Island. The crew makes it through 2 bubbles, unfortunately, the second bubbles contains water. The currents from the second bubble separate the Straw Hats and the Sunny. Much later, Luffy wakes up in the company of Sanji, Usopp, Chopper, and a group of small meramaids. The gang rejoices of Luffy's awakening and they talk until they meet Camie. Luffy and everyone (mostly Sanji) is excited to meet Camie after two long years.

Camie explains how she was going to meet them, but she thought it was a month later until then. EIther way, Camie is happy to see everyone and gives everyone some soup. Camie then freaks out, realizing that she was trying to warm everyone up with cold soup, she and usopp engage in an odd shocked face fault, while everyone else eats the soup. After some talking, the Medaka Mermaid Quintuplets come by and give the group their clothes back, all dried. Camie introduces the Quintuplets and tells the group that they are in the girls dorms of the Mermaid Cove, which gets Sanji all riled up. Eventually, the group leaves Camies apartment and heads for a higher level of the island on a sea turtle.

Luffy asks Camie about Hachan and Pappug, to which she explains that Hachan is recovering in the Fishman District and that Pappug is a famous designer living in a high-class mansion. Camie thens shows off the bubbles roads to the group as they make their way into an air-filled area of the island. After reaching their destination, Usopp and Chopper marvel over the fact that their is air and clouds in the area that their in. A voice calls out to Camie, the voice belongs to Ishilly, who is relaxing with other mermaids. The group is shocked at the sight of real meramids, Usopp even remarks how this is something out of a fairy tale. Sanji then immediately starts crying and excitedly proclaims that he has found his All Blue, though Usopp remarks "is that what you really want....Sanji?". Camie then introduces the straw hats to the group of mermaids.

One of them comes up to Sanji and grabs his, asking why he is crying, she then asks him to dance with her underwater. Sanji then remarks on how this might be too good to be true and that he might die on Fishman island that very day, but Usopp remarks on how negative Sanji is being. Elsewhere, Hammond and some of the other New Fishman Pirates report to their leader about the Straw Hat Pirates entering Fishman island. Their boss then tells them to bring the Straw Hats to him immediately.
