He tells them that Sakazuki and Kuzan battled for the title of Fleet Admiral and that Sakazuki was the victor. He also tells them that Blackbeard became the new Yonko. Everyone but Luffy listens to Jinbe, then Luffy senses an animal in the palace so he, Sanji and Zoro 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 of Big Mam's men are coming and they can't pay their tribute to her.

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 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 Devil Fruit users hunt. Luffy, Zoro, and Sanji then leave the conversation to check on Shirahoshi.

Then they 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 and that Neptune tells Nami that he will give it to them as appreciation if they can get it back, Nami sent Luffy, Zoro, and Sanji to Fishman Island to chase Caribou.

Neptune then went to Hody Jones and the gang's jail to see that they became old. The Minister of the Right deducted that the Energy Steroids, which came from inside the Tamatebako, are the cause and Hody confessed that he stole them. Neptune then told them to forget their intention of dealing revenge to humans in that state and even would rethink 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 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 then worries what would Big Mam's reaction to this would even, saying that she is "a monster who would destroy a country for the sake of sweets".
