Your POV:

Neptune: AAAAAAAHHHHHHH !! Vander Decken has gone after my beloved Shirahoshi !! I beg of you all !! I will give you anything you desire !! Just let me go after Decken !! I will give you gold, silver, treasures, even the lives of my soldiers !!

Minister: H- Hold on a moment, your majesty !!

Neptune: HE IS GOING TO TAKE SHIRAHOSHI FROM ME !! Shirahoshi is my own greatest treasure !!

Hody: What a pathetic sight you are, Neptune... !! To think that my sworn enemies, the Straw Hat pirates, would aid in my conquering of the Ryuuguu palace... !

Nami: 'Sworn enemies... ?! He bears... Arlong's mark...'

Minister: Nghh... I had heard from Jinbe that there was something afoot in the Fishman district... But I never expected you, former members of Neptune's own army, to be behind it.. !! Have you no shame, Hody ?!

Hody: Jahaha ! Shame ?! You say that as though I ever held any great pride in my place in that army. The only reason I served as a soldier was to hone the skills I would need on the field of battle.

Minister: YOU FIEND... !!

Hody: And it worked, I have become strong... Ever since I was a child, I have seem nothing but fishmen being oppressed by the detestable humans... !! My greatest heroes were the Arlong pirates, for having the strength and ambition to smash those filthy humans' faces in !! AND WE ARE THE NEW FISHMAN PIRATES... HERE TO REVIVE THEIR BROKEN WILL !!

Nami: ... ... !!

Hody: I strived to become strong, so that when Arlong began his great plan to reach beyond the East Blue and conquer the world... I would be ready to stand at his side, as his right-hand man ! But thanks to a certain bunch of filthy humans, that dream never came to pass !!

Usopp: These fishmen are sympathisers with Arlong and his cronies ?!

Brook: Hmm ?! Arlong ?! I don't think I've ever tasted that particular delicacy !! Yohohohoho-
*THWACK*

Brook: Ouch !! Usopp-san, why are you kicking me ?!

Hody: ... Move it.

Usopp: THAT GRIP STRENGTH SI RIDICULOUS !! WHAT IS HE TRYING TO DO ?!

Fishman: That's... Just his natural strength, right ? He's not even drugged up right now...

*SCHBROOOOOM*

Usopp: AAAAARGH !! THE CASTLE WALL COLLAPSED !!

Zoro: Crap... he's flooding the place with seawater !!

Brook: AAAAAAHH !! This isn't good at all !!

Fishmen: G- Get down !! He's gonna do that !! Crap... Those water droplets... !!

Hody: Jahahahaha !!

Zoro: The droplets are... Turning into arrows... !!

Neptune: Damn you... !! How dare you attack the elite soldiers of my army so carelessly !! STOP THIS AT ONCE, YOU FOOL !!

Soldiers: Your majesty !! Your majesty, please don't do this !!

Hody: You're the fool, Neptune !! What kind of King takes a bullet for his servants ?! You really aren't fit for the throne at all !!

Minister: Your majesty ! Damn you, Hodyyyyyy !!

Usopp: That's despicable ! Attacking defenceless prisoners !! And his strength is way beyond Arlong's !

Zoro: Ittouryuu... YAKKODORI !!

Fishman: H- Hold on a minute, boss... !! That's not-

Usopp: He used his own crewmate as a shield !! He really is a monster !!

Zoro: ... Guys, you go and untie the soldiers !

Usopp: Ehh ?!

Brook: Could you listen to me ?! Nami-san seems to have vanished off somewhere... And this water flooding in is sapping all of my strength... Ahhhh...

Usopp: What ?! Nami's vanished ?!

Zoro: our deal with this country is broken ! We were unable to keep our promise to return all the hostages unharmed !!

Minister: Such honesty... !!

Brook: Hurry up and flee !! But first, could you until the person next to you ? I'm running out... Of strength... !

Hody: Don't let them try anything !! CRUSH THEM ALL !! NEPTUNE ARMY AND STRAW HAT PIRATES ALIKE !!

Fishmen: HAAAAAAAAHH !!

Usopp: Hissatsu !! Midoriboshi !! RAFFLESIA !!

Fishmen: Ahhh !! That's... A "Flower" from above the sea !! What a rarity !!

Usopp: Take this !!

*Ffffffffff...*

Fishmen: GUAAAAAAAHHH !! IT STINKS !!

Hody: Ugh... What a petty attack !!

Usopp: Zoroooo !! The water is getting too deep !!

Brook: ... It's no use...

Soldiers: Release the ropes !! Take up your weapons !!

Zoro: ... I have a request. Could you get those two out of here for me ?

Neptune: What of yourself... ?!

Zoro: Well, nobody's going to escape if someone doesn't hold them off, are they ? Haaahhh...

Hody: I hope you're not planning to get in the way of my Coup d'Etat...



Citizens: DON'T PLAY DUMB, YOU FILTHY PIRATES !! I hear another two young mermaids have vanished from the Southern shore !! What have you done with them ?!

Sanji: For the love of... How would I know what happened to them ?! I mean, sure, I love mermaids so much that I'd love to elope with them, but that doesn't mean I'm the kidnapper !!

Citizens: You see ?! He as good as admits it !!

Chopper: Hang in there, Hachi ! You're gonna be all right ! Ow...

Luffy: Huh ?! Saji !! Chopper !! hey, Sanji !! Are you over the nosebleed thing already ?!

Chopper: IT'S LUFFYYYYY !! What's that pufferfish he's riding... ?

Shirahoshi: A... Are they friends of yours, Luffy-sama ?

Luffy: They're members of my pirate crew.

Citizens: Look !! Their captain has arrived !! It's the boss of the kidnappers !!

Shirahoshi: I cannot be seen by all those people.. ! Megalo, could you close your mouth a little more ?

Megalo: *Rrhh ?! Rr... Rroooghhh... ?!*

Luffy: Hmmm ?! Wait up, I'm gonna head down there for a bit !!

Citizens: AAAAAHH !! He came down !!

Luffy: Hachi !! I thought that was you !! You're wounded !! What happened ?! Who did this to you ?!

Chopper: That's the thing, he won't tell us anything ! He just keeps saying we need to get off the island...

Hachi: Nyuuu... Straw hat... It's you...

Citizens: ... hang on, I thought Straw Hat was occupying the Royal Palace right now ?! These guys are a bunch of dirty mermaid kidnappers... What if they're planning on kidnapping Princess Shirahoshi... ?!

Citizen: Don't be ridiculous... !! That's beyond impossible ! The Princess is a giant whiting mermaid, and the beloved daughter of King Neptune, to boot ! Nobody in their wildest dreams... Hm ? What's that pufferfish.. ?

Megalo: *Roughh... Urgllllllhh... !! Blerg...*

Citizens: ... ... ... P...

Citizens: PRINCESS SHIRAHOSHIIIIIII !!

Luffy: Aw, man...

Chopper: She's huge !! And did they just say "Princess"... ? 'Is she the Mermaid Princess ?!'

Sanji: Hmm ? Is there someone behind me ?

Chopper: NO, SANJI !! Whatever you do, you must not turn around !! If you turn around, you'll die !!

Citizens: THEY'VE KIDNAPPED THE MERMAID PRINCESS !! SHIRAHOSHI IS BEING KIDNAPPED RIGHT NOW !!

Luffy: Crybaby ! Why did you get out of the shark ?!

Shirahoshi: I... I'm so sorry, Luffy-sama ! Please don't get angry with me... Uwaaaahhhh !!

Citizens: He made the princess cry !! this pirate is pure evil !!

Chopper: Don't do it, Sanji !! Don't you dare turn around !!

Sanji: Everyone keeps saying "Princess"... Y- You don't mean... YOU'D BETTER NOT BE SAYING THAT THE MERMAID PRINCESS IS STANDING RIGHT BEHIND ME !!

Chopper: That's right ! She's right there ! So don't turn around, Sanji, no matter what ! An ordinary mermaid was enough to nearly kill you... IF YOU SEE THE MERMAID PRINCESS, YOU'LL DIE FOR SURE !!

Sanji: 'The mermaid princess... That most wondrous of all mermaids, said to rival eve the Pirate Empress, the world's finest beauty... Is standing right behind my back... ?! How could I bear to live knowing that I let such a chance slip through my fingers... ?' Chopper... I choose to fulfil my dream, and go to my death !!

Chopper: I thought your dream was to find All Blue !! DON'T DO IT, SANJIIIIII !!

Sanji: ... ... 'Ah... Even my wildest imaginings pale in comparison... She is... Magnificent... ! No work of art could hope to compare... This is... True beauty... !!'

Chopper: HE TURNED TO STONEEEEE !!

Luffy: Anyway, Hachi !! Who the heck did this to you ?! Tell me !

Hachi: Nyuuuu...

Chopper: This is a totally new symptom !! Is it because of the okama blood in his system ?!

Shirahoshi: L... Luffy-sama... What should I... ? Uwaahhh !

Citizens: ... ... Grrr...


Citizens: WE'VE GOT YOU NOW !! STRAW HAT PIRATES !! YOUR VILLAINY ENDS HERE !! Don't take the people of Fishman island lightly !!

Luffy: hey ! What are you playing at ?!

Citizen: I remember you too, now ! You're one of those fiends from Arlong's lot !

Shirahoshi: E- Excuse me... It isn't like that... Luffy-sama was only...

Citizens: It's all right now, princess ! We'll see that these fiends are all executed...

Luffy: ... Hm ? U- Uh-oh, I think we're in trouble... hey, you guys !! Something's flying right this way !!

Citizens: What ?! There's no point trying to distract us with ridiculous lies !! Huh ?! Th- There really is something flying this way !! Ehh ?! C- Could that be...

Citizens: VANDER DECKEN ?!

Decken: I'VE FOUND YOU NOOOOOW !! I KNOW IT !! BAHOHOHOH !! SHIRAHOSHIIIIII !!

Shirahoshi: ... Vander Decjen-sama... !

Citizens: After all this time in hiding... he's finally shown himself here on Fishman island !! Princess, you have to flee !! We'll take care of him !!

Decken: Answer me, Shirahoshi !! Say "Yes", and you won't have to die !! Bahohoh !! My dear Shirahoshi... ! MARRY MEEEE !!

Citizens: The man who's tried to take the Princess's life countless times is brazenly proposing to her ?!

Shirahoshi: ... ... ... You're not my type... !!

Citizens: 'IS THAT THE ISSUE HERE ?!'

Average Twitter anime/Vtuber/Idol "fan": AGNAAAAA ?! ... ... How dare you... Trample all over my ten years of longing... ?! You would choose another... Over me ?! If you will not love me... Then your very existence is an insult !! DIE, SHIRAHOSHI !!

Citizens: PRINCESS SHIRAHOSHI !! You have to flee !!

Luffy: Don't run away, Crybaby !! Stay right where you are !!

Citizen: What the heck are you talking about ?! Are you one of Decken's cronies ?! Are you telling the princess to die ?!

Luffy: IF YOU GO TOO FAR AWAY, I WON'T BE ABLE TO PROTECT YOU !!

Shirahoshi: A... All right ! I won't run !!

Citizens: Princess... !! How dare you threaten the princess ?!

Luffy: You guys also move !! You'll be caught up in it !!

Citizens: What ?! ... H- hey, what's that behind Decken ?!

Decken: HYAAAAHHHHH !! Huh ?!

Citizens: Something just crashed into Vander Decken !!

Decken: You... This is between me and my beloved Shirahoshi !! Why must you interfere too ?!

"... I think I ran over something. No matter, where is that- LUFFYYYYYYYYYYYY !!"

Chopper: He's mad !! Luffy, he's mad, what did you do ?!

Luffy: L- Look, I can explain, this isn't-

"WHAT WERE YOU THINKING IN THAT STRETCHED EMPTY BRAIN OF YOURS WHEN YOU DID THAT ?! DO YOU HAVE ANY IDEA THE COMPLICATIONS YOU BROUGHT UPON OURSELVES WHEN YOU AND THE PRINCESS ESCAPED THE PALACE ?!

Shirahoshi: P- please don't yell like that, Luffy-sama only...

"Princess, with all honours in meeting someone like you, I do need to scold my captain, please do not take any of it personally, none is directed at you. I'M SERIOUSLY CONSIDERING BUYING A LEASH AND KEEPING YOU WITHIN GRASP OF ME NOW, HAVE YOU NOT LEARNED BY NOW WHAT HAPPENS WHEN YOU WANDER OFF ON YOUR OWN ?!

Decken: Gh... Owww... So it was you ! You abducted here from the Palace ?!

"Sir ! I am talking, to my captain ! I'll get to you in a minute. LUFFY !!"

Decken: ... ... That's it !! I'm taking all of your lives !! I'll stack you up neatly and slice you in four !! You... Grgh... Glargh... Urrrrgh...

"I thought I was being clear already... I find your lack of manners disturbing."

Mouth-foaming Decken: Urglllll... !! Brrr... Ungh ! 

*KRAK*

"Right. So where was I ?"

Chopper: S- Screaming Luffy very loudly..

"Ah, yes. LUFFY !!"

Citizens: ... What did he do ? He took... Took out Vander Decken... Without even touching him ?!

Decken: Gg... Hh...

Citizens: He's still moving but this is our chance to capture him !!

"Tch. We'll settle things when it's calmed down, don't think you're off the hook just yet. Shark, you wake up !! Sanji, what in the world happened to you ?!"

Chopper: He turned into stone for a bit... And now he's drowning in happiness. But he's stull conscious !

"... Great, we've got Old Sanji back, it would seem !! Princess, while we go, could you try and untie my absolute irresponsible child of a captain, please ?"

Shirahoshi: Y... yes, of course... B- But please, could you stop speaking so loudly... ? It makes me nervous...

Luffy: It looks like we're not very popular on this island ! We'd better get outta here- OW OW OW OW OW !!

"YOU DON'T SAY ?! AND WHOSE FAULT DO YOU THINK IT IS ?!"

Citizens: P- P- Princess !! Why are you aiding them ?!

Shirahoshi: i'm very sorry, everyone !! I will be back in time for dinner !!

Citizens: EEEH ?!

Decken: Gh... OUTTA MY WAY, TRASH !! Haah... Haah... Don't let 'em get away... WADATSUMIIIIIII !!

Wadatsumi: RRAAAAAAGHHHHHH !!

Citizens: I- It's the Umibouzu !!

Decken: Take those suckers down !!

Wadatsumi: Awrighty den !! Haahhhh !!

Luffy: ... Gum Gum... !

Wadatsumi: AAAAUUUUGH !! My toof !! He broke my toof !!

Decken: That good-for-nothing... !

"Alright Luffy, thanks to you we're in an even deeper hole than we were before, so might as well finish things you started, where to ?"

Luffy: T- To the Ocean forest ! Let's go, Crybaby !!

Shirahoshi: Right !!
