"One Piece" Events:

—————————

"A 'Sea Bunny'!!!"

The crew members exclaimed after seeing the sea king that resembled a bunny, staring at them coldly.

"Don't think you can beat me on the ocean's surface. Gomu Gomu~~~"

Luffy laughed before getting ready to attack... then; "Rifle!!!"

His rubbery hand quickly spun with a menacing rotation, sending the Sea Bunny soaring.

"I didn't even think it was that big," said Usopp.

"That's because we saw Oars! We're fine for now! Gahahaha!" Chopper laughed gently.

Suddenly, the sea bunny spits out two things from its mouth, and Sanji was the first to notice. "It spits something out."

"Hm? A fish?" Luffy thought he saw a fishtail.

"A person!? No!!" exclaimed Usopp.

Even Nami was shocked, saying, "It can't be."

Sanji's eyes turned into hearts after seeing what was falling toward him.

"It... It can't be~~!!"

...

"I have to thank you in some way!! That's right!!"

"Do you like Takoyaki!?"

[Kissing Gourami Mermaid, Camie. (Designer Tail, Assistant at Takoyaki shop)]

"Takoyaki~~!? That's my favorite food!!"

After hearing that, Luffy's tongue drooped, and his drool dripped.

"Really!? Well then, one will be 500 Berry."

Camie immediately assumed the role of a vendor.

But she was surprised by a little starfish in reality, saying, "This is no store!!!"

"I GOT IT WRONG~~~!!!"

A comical scene unfolded as everyone's mouths widened, and their eyes popped out like Camie's.

•———•———•———•———•———•

Laughter reverberated through the art store in Ohara, filling the air with infectious joy as the new arc of One Piece unfolded.

The familiar comedic scenes had everyone in stitches, their laughter intertwining and echoing in harmonious cacophony.

"Ahahahahahah!!!"

"Tahahahaha!!"

"Gahahahahaha!!"

"Hahahahaha! This mermaid is incredibly funny! I'm dying of laughter!" exclaimed one enthusiastic reader.

"Hahahaha!! Look at Luffy and Sanji's faces and try not to laugh," added another, barely able to contain their amusement.

Amidst the jubilation, Rosinante and Enel found themselves particularly intrigued by the mention of Takoyaki, a dish that sparked their curiosity and amusement.

"Hahahaha! Luffy forgot everything when he heard about Takoyaki... By the way, what is Takoyaki?" Rosinante chuckled, turning to Enel, who was equally entertained.

"Hahahaha! Seriously, don't you know what Takoyaki is?... Wait, what is Takoyaki?"

Enel glanced at Doffy, who was engrossed in the manga, wearing a perpetual smile, and posed his question.

"It's obviously a seafood dish made from octopus meat," Doffy replied, his voice filled with conviction.

A moment of revelation washed over Enel and Rosinante as they made the connection between the dish's name and the octopus.

Their minds conjured vivid images of sizzling grilled octopus tentacles.

"Mmm, it looks delicious...!" Rosinante couldn't help but salivate at the thought.

"I want to taste Takoyaki too..." Enel expressed his craving, mirroring Rosinante's enthusiasm.

...

Meanwhile, Rob was preparing to depart, but his children, including little Robin, confronted him, creating a formidable blockade.

"Yamato said that Luffy and his Nakama have arrived at the Sabaody Archipelago and met a beautiful mermaid who can cook a dish called Takoyaki..."

Little Robin, determined to halt her father's departure, stood her ground with unwavering resolve.

"Oh... I believe Hatchan is the one who makes Takoyaki... Yes, my little Robin, what is it that you desire?" Rob pondered, his face etched with helplessness, resigned to fulfilling his beloved daughter's request before his departure.

"I want to eat Takoyaki... Not just me, all my sisters want it~" Little Robin pleaded, her eyes filled with anticipation and longing.

Rob, unable to resist his little princess's appeal, mustered a faint smile and acquiesced, knowing that the pursuit of culinary delight would have to be postponed no longer.

...

Fish-Man Island:

King Neptune sat in a special place inside the art store with his ministers (the right and left), their faces displaying lukewarm expressions as they immersed themselves in the manga's pages.

The atmosphere grew tense when two figures, hailing from the illustrious Fish-Man race, materialized before them.

"It appears that the long-awaited moment is drawing near," King Neptune mused aloud, his gaze fixed upon the enigmatic newcomers.

"This adorable mermaid and starfish, both of our race, often venture beyond the confines of our kingdom for various reasons..."

"In the previous arc, we witnessed the young Hatchan's journey in search of Rayleigh, indicating a deep bond between them... And this happened in the Sabaody Archipelago," said King Neptune, prompting one of the ministers to contemplate the significance of this recent development. "What could this portend?"

King Neptune shifted his attention to his ministers, his voice a calm river flowing through the room.

"What purpose does it serve for me to delve into the manga's pages?" he pondered, his curiosity palpable. "Naturally, it is to glean a glimpse of the future... to discern the profound and subtle shifts, to witness the members of our race who share a common destiny with Luffy and his indomitable Straw Hat crew."

Ever since the tumultuous encounter with Arlong and his ill-fated pirate gang, which regrettably soured relations with the Straw Hats, Tom and Kokoro had emerged to challenge the stereotypical image of Fish-Men perpetuated by Arlong's actions. And now, Camie and her peculiar companion had emerged onto the scene.

"I wholeheartedly believe that they shall align themselves with the Straw Hat crew, my liege," the Minister of the Right asserted confidently, his voice filled with conviction.

"This mermaid possesses an air of loveliness... And considering that Luffy inadvertently rescued her, I highly doubt she would harbor ill intentions towards them."

"Your assessment resonates with me- Jamon," King Neptune concurred, nodding in agreement.

"Camie...? Mark her name down in the roster of notable characters destined to grace the pages of our future."

"Understood, Your Majesty," the Minister of the Left acknowledged with a respectful nod, hastening to fulfill his king's command.
