The crew has arrived at fishman island but they are once again split up. Tension is brewing with the New Fishman Pirates and the straw hats dont even realize it! King Neptune formally invites the crew for a banquet at the palace. The bigger question is if the event will stay pleasant with Luffy bugging the princess and the 3 princes learning of Madam Shyarly's premonition that Luffy will bring about the destruction of Fishman Island.
