The New Fishman Pirates destroy some hapless human pirates, while Luffy and company get an invitation from royalty. This would go along nicely with some Jaws music. Summary: At "Noah", a pirate crew from the South Sea that was forced to pledge allegiance to the New Fishman Pirates try to escape, but the fishman pirates know what's going on. The captain of the New Fishman Pirates Jones (will fill in first name later) decides to go after the escapees himself and eats a mouthful of special pills before leaving. Meanwhile, Pappug leads Luffy and friends to his mansion/store, and inside the store they find Nami doing some hardcore bargaining. Pappug agrees to let Nami have whatever she wants, and Nami takes full advantage of the offer. The group's attention is suddenly drawn to the commotion outside. On the streets, people are shocked the ruler of the kingdom King Neptune descends on his trusty whale. King Neptune stops before Luffy and company and confers with a shark, and Nami notices that the shark is the one they saw earlier (after Luffy KOed the kraken). King Neptune then invites Luffy and company to the royal palace. Somewhere outside of Fishman Island, the pirates from the South Sea are trying to escape, but they are cut off by Jones who is wearing cuffs to show that he isn't going to use his hands. Jones then proceeds to dismantle the pirate ship and kill most of the human pirate crew using his body and mouth (he is a Great White Shark fishman) and in the process explains that each pill he takes doubles his strength at the cost of his lifespan. Jones and subordinates put what's left of the human pirates in a bubble to be sent to the New World to send a message. Jones' ultimate goal is take control of Fishman Island from King Neptune and show humans that fishman are the superior race. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Both King Neptune and the upper command of the New Fishman Pirates showed their faces this week. Jones has shown that his group has a deep hatred for humans, and thus they are definitely bad guys, but it's hard to say if they are the central villains of this arc given Van Der Decker and one of the four emperors are also around. The fishman pirates don't really have abilities like those of Devil Fruit users, but they have a big advantage in water and the pills give them a lot more strength, so they are a dangerous bunch. As for King Neptune, his intentions haven't been revealed yet, but from the earlier chapters it's hinted that he and his family has connections to Jimbei, so perhaps they will be allies to the Straw Hats. Lastly, the Straw Hats regained another member. Both Brook and Nami ended up in the nice parts of town, but I doubt that's the case for the remaining missing crew members.
