Coverart: Vivi, cleaning the bathing room of the palace under guidance of a Siamese cat.
Requested by.... none other than Akira Jean-Baptiste Hattori, of Jump editorial
(you know him as the SUUUUPER editor in Bakuman)
The gang arrives at Ryugu Palace Sango (Coral) Hill
Looks like Sanji's blood transfusion was done in time
The one to donate blood are the twin okama pirates, Splash and Splatter
Luffy was poisoned in the last fight, but it seems he developed antibodies in his immune system developed from the fight with Magellan.
Chopper is amazed.
Luffy says the swordsman with octo-legs actually blocked Luffy's attack, and says that guy is really strong.
Hyozou, the Ocoto swordsman, is carrying the knocked out Hammond an the other lackey
While wandering around, He ponders how he instinctively poisoned Straw Hat by accident, but it would do them no good if Straw Hat dies from the poison.
A mermaid's scream is heard. They opened the barrel holding Cariboo, and he escaped. A mermaid named Ishley is missing.
The Fortune Teller Madame Shirley is the store manager of Mermaid Cafe Camie works at.
She is a mermaid of Shortfin Mako Shark. (T says although this has nothing to do with it, he thinks that's cute)
Apparently Shirley predicted everything from Whitebeard's death to the war's outcome
Pappag and Brook got there ahead of them, and seems he's already completely charmed by mermaids.
(It's a skull joke. State of being charmed by lovely maidens are expressed as "complete lack of bones" in Japanese)
Captain van der Dekken heading to the bottom of the sea was the 9th generation van der Dekken.
The legendary van der Dekken was the first. Fishman Island is currently under the protection of Big Mom.
There's a large sweets factory, and she demands tons of sweets in return.
After Luffy leaves, Shirley felt something in Luffy's future, and did a fortune telling
Shirley keeps seeing bad omens in her fortune telling, so she hopes her fortune telling fails this time...
however, what she saw was Fishman Island being decimated at the hands of Luffy
End of chapter
Vivi on the coverart is most likely post-time skip. She's gotten well-endowed lol
More from T:
The octo fishman (merman?) Hyozou is a drunken swordsman.
Sanji is traumatized again upon seeing the two who gave him blood, lol
Brook came across Pappag first, and was treated to welcoming by the mermaids
Big Mom's real name is Charlotte Ling-Ling (LinLin, RinRin)
Whitebeard didn't ask for anything in return for protecting FI, but Pappag guesses that Big Mom only sees this as business relation.
Madame Shirley upon seeing the future with her fortune telling, asked to find Luffy and kick him out of FI.
But she also hopes her fortune doesn't come true.
