• Sengoku explained that Brook's bounty had risen to 1.5 billion Beli because he had broken into Impel Down and fought Magellan to a draw, then ordered Kizaru to Sabaody.

Kizaru praised Sanji and Nami’s strength but tried to end their sparring session, only for Nami’s electromagnetic cannon to destroy the auction house and nearly kill Saint Charloss.

After Lulu settled in with Nojiko, the Golden Scale descended into the dark deep sea, where a powerful presence and two enormous scarlet lights appeared beneath it.

After the Cloud Wanderer Pirates overwhelmed the Navy, the Five Elders ordered the Navy to avoid direct conflict and raise the crew’s bounties to Emperor-level amounts. Sengoku drafted the new posters, formally marking the crew as a major threat to the world order.

• Nusjuro Saint speculated about Patrick Redfield and Brook Lott’s powers, then ordered the Navy to conceal the failed operations and avoid direct conflict with the Cloud Wanderer Pirates for now.

The Cloud Wanderer Pirates arrived at Fish-Man Island and found its residents fearful and hostile toward humans because of merfolk slavery and Queen Otohime’s death. They chose to avoid forcing their welcome, but Madame Shyarly refused to serve them when they entered her cafe.

• The group found Madam Shyarly’s Merfolk Cafe and entered to look around and learn more about the island.
• Madame Shyarly recognized the group as humans and told them to leave because her cafe did not serve them.

Hermione learned why Madame Shyarly hated humans and asked her to make a prediction, which showed a burning island and a looming disaster. Neptune then recognized Redfield as his old friend and invited the crew to Ryugu Castle.

• Hermione calmed Madame Shyarly and weakened her resistance, allowing her to explain that Queen Otohime was assassinated by a human pirate and that Arlong had also died at human hands.
• Hermione asked Madame Shyarly to read her fortune, and the crystal ball showed a sinister island engulfed in orange-blue flames beneath a massive figure.

• Neptune invited Redfield and his companions to Ryugu Castle, and the group accepted.

At Ryugu Castle, King Neptune told Brook and the others that Vander Decken IX had harassed Shirahoshi for eight years, forcing her to hide in the Hard Shell Tower.

Brook followed the axe to Noah and found Vander Decken IX harassing Princess Shirahoshi with a crude drawing. After Brook knocked him down, Decken activated Noah and sent the enormous ship surging toward Fish-Man Island, leaving Brook to realize he had been fooled.

• Decken suddenly revived, activated Noah, and ordered the ship to fly toward Fish-Man Island.
• Brook realized Decken had faked being defeated and worried that the island’s destruction would make him look responsible.

Brook extracted the Target-Target Fruit from Vander Decken after Decken sent Noah hurtling toward Fish-Man Island. Hermione swallowed the ark with powerful magic, but as the island celebrated its rescue, Hody Jones accused Brook and the others of staging the crisis.

• Brook tortured the unconscious Vander Decken, extracted the Target-Target Fruit, and stored Decken's remains in his Space Ring.
