Chapter's Events:
— — — — — — — — — — — —
"It's a pirate ship!!"
"Get away from them!!! The bubble's gonna break!!"
At that moment, a pirate ship appeared and rammed violently into the Thousand Sunny.
"They're ramming up alongside our ship!!!"
"…Don't tell me they're coming up bubble-to-bubble to board us?!!!"
"Who are these guys?!!!"
While the rest of the crew was still confused about who these people were, the attackers had already started running toward their ship.
"We're going in, men!!!" Caribou led his crew in an attempt to invade Luffy's ship.
"Uhuhuhuhhh!!!"
"…?!! Wait a second… Is that…?!!! Momoo?!!" Nami was shocked to see a very familiar sea creature pulling Caribou's pirate ship.
"You're Momoo from the Arlong Pirates, aren't you?!"
"You recognize me?!"
Momoo recognized Nami, but seeing Luffy and Sanji made him sweat in fear — he remembered them well.
"Hm? We've seen this guy before, right, Luffy?"
"…Have we?" asked Luffy.
Momoo recalled being kicked and beaten by Sanji and Luffy back then.
While Momoo was frozen in terror from his memories, Caribou had already crossed over to the Thousand Sunny — only to find Zoro waiting for him.
"Aaaahhhh!! Someone's come on board!!!" Chopper exclaimed.
"Kehihihi!! While they're busy staring like idiots, we'll slaughter every last one of them!!!"
"Kehehehe!!" Caribou was so excited that he began laughing maniacally, finally ready to slaughter every member of the Straw Hat crew.
"Moooooohhhhh!!!" But in the very next moment, Momoo went terrified, he swam away at full speed, dragging the entire Caribou crew with him, leaving Caribou alone.
"Whaaa?!!"
"Oh, no!!"
"Captain Caribou's stranded on the enemy ship!!"
"Big Bro dude!!"
"What's wrong, Sea Cow?!!"
"Why are you doing this?!!"
On the other side, Luffy and the others stared blankly at Caribou, who was still pumped up and yelling: "Now, men!!! Don't just stand there saying helloooo!!! Let those Gatling guns riiiiip!!!"
"Kill the entire damn Straw Hat crew stone dea—" Caribou raised his arms, eagerly waiting to hear the sound of gunfire — but after a few seconds, nothing happened.
Then he was tightly tied up and restrained by Franky, who was ready to throw him into the sea.
"Forgive meee!!! Don't throw me into the oceaaaan!!! Anything but thaaaat!!!"
"You can't do this to meee!!! Don't throw away a man's life so easilyyy!!! God is… God is watching all of you!!! You know that, right?!!" Caribou begged desperately for mercy.

"Hahahahaha!!! What a clown!"
"Hahahaha! Oh my god, that's hilarious! Look at his face when he realized too late that he's alone on the Thousand Sunny!
"Hahaha! Zoro's probably thinking about which part to cut!"
"I bet he's thinking of cutting his tongue — since it's already long enough!"
"Hahahaha! Who would've thought the sea cow he randomly picked would have a past connection with the Straw Hats and end up getting him stranded on their ship!"
"So unlucky! Dahahahaha! This is very funny!"
In the art store in Jaya, pirates, bounty hunters, thugs, and gang members were all laughing hysterically at Caribou's misfortune.
Meanwhile, the brothers Caribou and Coribou stared at each other in disbelief — they couldn't believe what had just happened in the manga.
"What the hell! Out of all sea monsters, they just had to tame Momoo specifically!!! Why!? Damn luck!!"
"So unlucky! So damn unlucky! That sea cow is part of Arlong's crew — the same one that got beaten up by Luffy and Sanji!"
"It's over! He's done for!"
Seeing his counterpart tied up and about to be tossed into the sea, Caribou felt completely helpless.
"Why the hell would you target that crew of all pirates!?"
"Even if Momoo hadn't escaped with the rest of the crew and they attacked together — it's impossible to beat the Straw Hats… What was he thinking chasing after them?!"
"He must've thought the crew hadn't gotten any stronger… After all, they don't have the One Piece manga in their world."
…
"Wait, even though he's tied up, that lizard-tongued bastard still seems to be plotting something sneaky!"
"Kehihi~ At the very least, it looks like he'll be tagging along to Fishman Island!"
"That much is clear. No way the crew would throw him into the ocean — they're not heartless pirates."
"They should throw him overboard. I have a feeling he'll do a lot of wicked stuff on Fishman Island. His presence will be a burden."
"I see that too…"
…
Far from Jaya, on Fishman Island, Arlong looked at the manga page with a sad expression.
"Looks like Momoo didn't forget either… To think he'd show up again…"
"Those bastards from Caribou's crew must've beaten him and forced him to pull their ship."
"Members of the Arlong Pirates… have really fallen this far…"
"It's fine…"
Fisher Tiger consoled both Arlong and Hatchan, who looked deeply saddened.
"This is the price of evil deeds, after all," Jinbe added.
…
"Looks like Nami's playing it safe — she really is an incredible navigator."
Not too far away, inside the same art store, Tom spoke admiringly of Nami, who was steering the ship through the deep sea.
"That's right. The direct current to Fishman Island would've smashed the ship against the seafloor or the Red Line due to the underwater volcanoes."
Den added with a smile.
"They're lucky to have such a top-class navigator — and beautiful and charming on top of that! Nagagaga!!"
Kokoro laughed, commenting on both Nami's skills and her dazzling looks.
"Throw that scumbag off the ship! Caribou is evil and twisted! Isn't that obvious?!"
Seeing his counterpart toss the tied-up Caribou onto the ship floor instead of into the ocean left Franky frustrated. He really wanted to see his counterpart toss him overboard.
That would've meant the death of Caribou — a dangerous Logia user who could cause them lots of trouble in the future.
"He's obviously weak… Not worth the crew tarnishing their clean no-kill record over him."
Iceburg commented on Franky's disappointment.
Then he looked at him deeply before adding,
"Of course, your counterpart… can't be clean of killing either."
"Huh?!"
"Your past… before joining the crew…"
…
Marineford:
Sengoku looked at the comedic manga scene with no expression, then commented,
"Looks like this Mud Logia user wants to pledge loyalty to some Yonko by slaughtering a famous crew like the Straw Hats."
"Too bad he's just too weak."
"I wonder which Yonko crew he was aiming to join…"
Both Sengoku, Zephyr, Tsuru, and even the other Admirals were thinking the same thing.
But they left their assumptions and guesses for later, quickly diving back into the manga's events.
"Brook knows a lot of useful info about underwater currents… Is that the benefit of living for so long?"
"Well, he is an old pirate. Knowing stuff like that should be easy for him — I bet he knows even more."
"Looks like people all over the world are going to learn about the deep sea thanks to this manga…"
"Is that a good thing or a bad thing?!"
"I mean, no one's gonna go explore the ocean depths after this, right?"
"Too scary… this manga might actually push people to try it."
"In real life? Forget it. People value their lives. But in the game world? Many will definitely try it."
"Well, who would regret diving into the deep sea while keeping their life safe? It's a total win with zero risk."
"Thanks to the One Piece manga, everyone's jealous of the Straw Hats' adventures… Even our own Marine soldiers."
"That's why everyone chooses to become pirates in the game world. Only a rare few choose to be Marines."
