The atmosphere is tense as King Neptune, Princess Shirahoshi, and Megalo (the princess's pet shark) are chained up. Hody Jones stands triumphant, about to execute King Neptune. The Fishmen and Mermaids are gathered, and the tension is unbearable.

SHIRAHOSHI (sobbing) "LUFFY! Please, save us!"

FISHMEN & MERMAIDS "LUFFY! Luffy! Luffy!"

Suddenly, Megalo, the giant shark, begins to twitch and squirm.

The water around Megalo ripples, and then, with an enormous SPLASH, Luffy, in Gear Second, emerges from the shark’s mouth, landing with a powerful THUD on the ground.

LUFFY (smirking, steam rising from his body) "Did someone call me?"

The Fishmen and Mermaids gasp, and the Straw Hats quickly follow behind, one by one, emerging from the shark's mouth as well. Zoro, Sanji, Usopp, Nami, Robin, Chopper, and Brook all stand ready for battle. Franky is the only one missing, still on the Thousand Sunny.

HODY JONES (furious, glaring at Luffy) "YOU! How dare you interfere with my plans!"

Luffy grins and immediately rushes toward Hody. He punches him square in the stomach, sending the Fishman flying into a wall with a massive CRASH.

LUFFY (smiling wide) "I’m not gonna let you get away with this, Hody!"

The Straw Hats regroup quickly, all determined and ready for the final battle.

NAMI (whispering to herself while subtly grabbing the key and a piece of paper from a nearby table) "This key... and this paper... I’ve got to make sure everyone knows what it says later..."

ZORO (snapping his sword into place) "Let’s finish this. No more messing around!"

BROOK (laughs, raising his sword) "Yohohoho! Time to end this, my friends!"

ROBIN (calmly adjusting her gloves) "We’ll protect Fishman Island."

a loud rumble shakes the ground. The Thousand Sunny, with Franky at the helm, emerges from the sky, floating above them. The ship lands on the battlefield with a resounding CRASH, and Franky strikes a dramatic pose from the ship's bow.

FRANKY (laughing loudly) "YEAH! The Franky Family is here to help out, baby!"
