Your POV:

Camie: Madame Shirley ! Luffy-chin and his friends are saying they're going to leave the island soon.

Shirley: I see. You should go and see them off.

Camie: Will do !

Mermaids: Madame ! Can we go too ?!

Shirley: Dear me... I suppose we'll have to close the cafe for a little while... With Hody out of the way, we should be plenty of customers again soon enough. I'll be needing you all to help make the cafe an enjoyable place to be !

Mermaids: leave it to us, Madame !!

Camie: ... Ah...

Shirley: Oh, my crystal ball ? Don't worry, I really am done with all that now... No more fortune-telling for me. Straw Hat Luffy causing the destruction of Fishman Island... That's one future I would rather not have seen at all. If my foretelling was wrong, just this once...Then nothing could make me happier...

Camie: 'Madame Shirley's has never made a prophecy that didn't come true, so she must be more frightened than any of us... She can't predict when it might happen, it could be in a year's time, or longer... There's no way to say for sure that her vision was wrong...' But Madame... I know Luffy-chin would never do a thing like-

Shirley: Camie... You must forgive me for doubting your friend... I understand now... We can trust in him, yes ? In the Straw hat boy...

Camie: ... That's right... !!

Shirahoshi: Uwaaaaahhhhh !! Are you really all going to leave the island already, Luffy-sama ?! We've only just properly made friends... Can't you stay for another day, at least... ? Or another week... ? No, another year... !!

Luffy: You really do end up crying every time I see you...

Shirahoshi: I... I'm very sorry ! I'll stop being such a crybaby, I really will ! *Sniff*

Sanji: Ahhhhh... The Mermaid princess of Fishman island, who has always been in my dreams... TO THINK THAT I WOULD LIVE TO SEE HER SHED TEARS AT OUR DEPARTURE... ! MAYBE WE REALLY SHOULD STAY HERE FOR ANOTHER YEAR !!

Brook: I must say I agree, yohohohoh !! I have decided to base my new single on the Fishman Island life !! A-one, two, three, four !! Oh, you wake up bright and early and say: "Good mor-ningyo"~ !

Zoro: You stay here as long as you like, nosebleed-kun. We won't miss you.

Sanji: WHO ARE YOU CALLING "NOSEBLEED-KUN", MARIMO HEAD ?!

"Would 'Stoneface-san' be more to your liking then ?"

Zoro: HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA !!

Sanji: THAT'S IT, YOU'D BETTER BE CAREFUL AT MEALTIMES IN FUTURE ! I'LL TEACH YOU WHAT HAPPENS IF YOU MAKE AN ENEMY OF THE SHIP'S COOK !!

Zoro: BRING IT ON !! I'LL DIGEST ANYTHING FROM POISON TO RAZOR BLADES !!

"Ahhh, to be young and full of enthusiasm about the little things in life... Blissfully unaware of what's already awaiting us in the New World..."

Minister: ... ... 'Your majesty, he's looking our way very insistently... I really think we ought to tell them... ! They can't just leave without knowing that there was a bomb concealed in the Tamate Box that Luffy sent as a gift to Big Mom...'

Neptune: 'I know, I know... But take a look over there...'

Usopp: It's all over... We've made an enemy of a Yonko... !! We're not going to last a day in the New World now... !!

Chopper: Maybe Big Mom will forgive us if we promise to give her all the treasure we ever find...

Neptune/Minister: 'How can we possibly break the news to them that they've already sent Big Mom a bomb in disguise... ?'

Neptune: 'This bomb... It's been hidden in that box for ten years, yes ? Is it not possible that it could fail to go off ?'

Minister: 'That's the right attitude, your majesty ! Positive thinking ! It's true, the Ryuuguu palace is an awfully humid place ! The bomb could have been rendered useless ! And at any rate, there's no guarantee that Big Mom will open the box herself !! Let's just hope for the best !!'

Robin: What are you two muttering suspiciously about ?

"Sometimes, there are things better left unknown, Robin... And this is definitely one of them."

Robin: Well, now i'm just even more curious.

"No, really. This is a bomb I'd rather not drop myself this time..."

Nami: Huh ? What's this ?!

Minister: This is a Log Pose for use in the New World. Please, take it as our gift to you. Trust me, you don't want to try voyaging with only a single needle to guide you... !

Nami: There are three separate needles... ! But why ?

Minister: take a look at the Log Pose you have been using in your journey along the first half of the Grand Line.

Luffy: Oh, what's this ? A new Log Pose ? Wow, it looks pretty cool !!

Nami: Ah... I thought the log had already settled... But it still seems to be moving a little... !!

Minister: Oh, it's settled all right. All logs from here on out will settle within half a day. When travelling in the Grand Line, you find your way by allowing your log Pose to register the magnetic field of the next island, yes ? That is how you have proceeded up to this point. But in the seas ahead, things are a little different... You are of course aware of how unstable the ocean currents and climate can be, throughout the Grand Line. Well, in the New World, even the magnetic fields cannot always be trusted to guide you true !! In some cases, the next island's magnetic field may even entirely vanish whilst you are out in the open water.

"... ... Starting to wonder how people could go and make countries in the New World if it takes that much just to move around there..."

Nami: But then we'd never be able to reach our destination !!

Minister: If you rely on a single needle, then such an incident can be disastrous. But what if you have three different needles ?

Nami: One of the needles is moving shakily, like on our Log Pose... But the other two seem to be completely stable... !

Minister: Each of the three needles on this Log Pose will attune to the magnetic field of a different island in the waters ahead. In other words, you will need to choose between three different possible courses. Which course to follow is for your instincts to decide. But the decision can mean the difference between life and death !

Minister: Particularly skilled navigators are able to use the slight movements of the individual needles to deduce which course is the safest to follow. As a very basic and general rule, the more unstable the movement of the needle, the more dangerous that path is likely to be... ! After all, an unstable needle suggests that something is happening on the very island to disrupt the very magnetic field around it... !

"... So some sort of danger-sensing Log, huh ?"

Nami: Ehhh ?! That doesn't sound good !! We'd be better off not knowing at all !!

Minister: But why ? If you do not have the foreknowledge to seek the safest route, you may find yourself in gravest...

Usopp/Chopper: You can tell which route is the most dangerous ?! Smash that Log Pose !! Smash it right now !!

Luffy: let me see... ! I like the look of that island in the middle with the really shaky needle ! We should go there !!

Nami: NOOOOOOOOOOOOO !!

Usopp: HE WAS LISTENING !!

Nami: THIS HAS NOTHING TO DO WITH YOU, LUFFY !! I'M THE ONE WHO DECIDES WHERE WE'RE GOING TO GO !!

Luffy: DON'T BE STUPID !! I'M THE CAPTAIN !!

Chopper/Usopp: WE'RE BEGGING YOU, CAPTAIN !! LISTEN TO WHAT YOUR NAVIGATOR SAYS !!

Sanji: Nami-san's so cute when she's terrified !

Brook: I think I have my B-side !! I call it "Requiem for Us" !!

"Why don't we focus on getting back to the surface before worrying about our next destination ?"

Robin: Do you think Luffy will be able to wait that long ?

"Good point. I'll have to find ways to distract him until then..."

Franky: All right, you guys !! We're all ready to set sail !! I'm all clear on how to take us up !! Are we going ?!

Luffy: LET'S GO !!

Hachi: Nyuuuu ! i'm going to help out with the repairs at the factory. Will you be okay without a guide ?

Luffy: We'll be fine ! We managed to have fun adventures on our way here !

Usopp: THAT'S THE SPIRIT !! WHO NEEDS A GUIDE ?! A TRUE MAN FOLLOWS HIS OWN PATH INTO THE JAWS OF HELL !!

Chopper: YEAH !! THIS IS WAR !!

Robin: I think they're losing it...

"Better than having them mopping around."

Mermaids: Come back anytime !! You're always welcome !

Sanji: YOU CAN COUNT ON IT !! THIS IS THE ALL BLUE OF MY HEART'S DESIRE !!

Zoro: What a pathetic dream.

Sanji: YOU SAY SOMETHING ?!

Mermaids: Heehee... You're so funny, Sanji-chan !

Fukaboshi: I have naught but the deepest thanks to offer you... ! You have my gratitude ! My people will pray for your safety !!

Luffy: Great !

Mamboshi: Next time we see you, we'll be leading the greatest fighting force the depths have ever seen ! You count on it ! Ooh, mambo !!

Ryuuboshi: Quite, quite ! We'll become so amazing the tales of the great warrior Neptune will pale in comparison so-la-ti-do !

Luffy: Heheh ! I look forward to it !! JINBE !!

Jinbe: ... .. ...

Luffy: All right !! HOIST THE SAIL, GUYS !! WE'RE SETTING OFF !! FAREWELL TO FISHMAN ISLAND !!

"I better go now too. I have a bunch of kids to take care of."

Jinbe: Indeed.

Citizens: Come back sometime !! We'll have plenty of sweets and meat waiting when you do !! We all like humans now !! Oh, and raccoons !! And robots too !!

Brook: Hmm ? What about skeletons ?

Camie: TAKE CARE OF YOURSELF, LUFFY-CHIN AND EVERYONE !!

Hachi: Come back and have some of my takoyaki sometime !!

Pappag: I love you guys, dammit !!

Citizens: We like skeletons too !!

Brook: My thanks for your consideration !

"... Something coming at 9 O'clock !"

Shirahoshi: Luffy-sama ! If I am lucky eneough... To meet you again... !!

Luffy: Whooa !! Cryhoshi !!

Sanji: Shirahoshi-shaaan !!

Shirahoshi: Haa... Haa... When that time comes... I promise I will no longer be a crybaby... ! I hope you will take me out for a wonderful walk again... !!

Luffy: For a walk ? What, you want to visit your mum's grave again ?

Shirahoshi: This time, I would rather go somewhere even further away. Above the waves... I would like to see a real forest !

Luffy: I see ! I guess you've never been out of the sea before, huh ? All right, sounds good ! Next time we meet, I'll take you to one !

Shirahoshi; Do you promise ?!

Luffy: Sure ! Leave it to me !! It's a promise !!

Nami: Luffy, are you sure you should be making promises like that without consulting us ?

Brook: Luffy-san ! A promise is something to be honored to the grave and beyond !

Robin: All right then, Shirahoshi... I'll promise you as well !

Sanji: Me too !

Chopper: then I'll promise too !

Brook: I rather think this should be... Quite enough fingers, don't you ?

Luffy: Shishishi ! And you remember not to cry, yeah ?

Shirahoshi: ... Of course !!

Neptune: ... Do not forget this debt we owe.

Fukaboshi: Of course !!

Kid: Hey dad, dad ! Can you buy me a straw hat ?! We're gonna play at being heroes !!

Citizen: They only sell straw hats up on the surface, you know ?

Kid: Then buy me one from there !!

Citizen: Don't be ridiculous ! The surface is full of terrifying humans who hate all fishmen... I mean... Well, I suppose they're not all that bad... Hmmm. There are strong and heroic guys like the Straw Hats up there as well... Ah, Boss Jinbe ! Perfect timing !!

Jinbe: Yes, yes, I heard. I'll see if I can find something for you from a merchant ship.

Kid: Really, Boss ?!

Jinbe: Well, you want yourself a "Hero Hat", don't you ? Hahahah !

Sanji: Ahhhh... That place really was like a Mermaid Heaven...

Nami: Now, OI hope everyone's feeling ready for this !! once we reach the surface, there's going to be no room for relaxing !! We're heading for a dark and dangerous sea !!

Usopp: ... Hey, what's that, Franky ?

Franky: They're called "Hyperfloat wood". They have exceptionally powerful buoyancy, so they'll lift the ship towards the surface. We can control our speed by adjusting how many of them we extend out into the ocean.

"... Hey, what's up, Luffy ?"

Luffy: ... Once we reach the surface... Well be in the same sea as Shanks !! I can't wait to meet him...

Shanks: Here... I'll leave this hat with you. It's a precious possession of mine. Make sure you come and give it back to me someday... When you've become a great pirate !

Ace: You'll pull it off for sure... ! You're my brother, after all... !

Jinbe: ASK YOURSELVES THIS !! WHAT IS THERE THAT STILL REMAINS TO YOU ?!

Rayleigh: Head straight for the top !!

Koby: Most people call that final ocean by another name. It is the sea where great men gather to forge a brand new age !! And the man who conquers that sea... Will be the Pirate King !!

Luffy: Once we get back up above the waves... We'll be in the greatest sea of all... !!

Zoro: It's taken us long enough... I'll slice 'em all to pieces.

Brook: Hang on a little longer, Laboon ! Only halfway left to go !!

Franky: The Sunny won't let us down !!

Nami: Don't worry... I'll take you wherever you need to go !

Chopper: Don't worry about getting injured, you guys !!

Sanji: I'll make sure you never go hungry !!

Usopp: With a warrior of the sea like me on board, there's nothing to fear !!

Robin: Hahaha...

"All the answers are waiting right up ahead... FULL SPEED AHEAD, MEN !! TO THE NEW WORLD !!

All: YEAAAAAAHHHHH !!
