Feb. 26th, 2011 11:45 pmJoy to the world! Mangafox is once again posting the scans from One Piece, so lets dig into some wild and crazy pirate adventures- in stunning BLACK AND WHIITE.
We open up with a heartwarming look into the mountain bandits of Mount Colbo, where we see that… oh man. Dadan and the crew are all wearing strawhats. And- and the clipbooks-

… I just have the Sahara in my eyes okay? OKAY?
The Minister of the Right and Brook are quite perturbed over the whole ’princess gone missing’ ordeal, albeit for entirely different reasons that are in no way as pure as each other when suddenly!

Oh yeah, the pirates that got slammed into the tower- forgot about those! Turns out they’ve arrived for a reason- to open the connecting corridor between the palace and the city… but before we can cut to the dull piece of expositions that explains their reasons, let’s visit Sanji and Chopper! Chopper is currently chewing out Sanji for attacking the mermen soldiers to which Sanji points out that Chopper did half the asskicking with his weird kung-fu, prompting one of those adorable ”don’t think I’m happy asshole~” moments from Chopper until a scream notifies them that someone needs a doctor…

HACHIIIIII nooo you can’t die you haven’t even had adorable quintuples of your own with Caimie yet! But it’s a good thing that Hachi did show up, for he has dire news- the New Fishmen Pirates are coming to invade Ryuuguu island!
We finally cut to flashback where we see Decken introduce himself to Hodis cronies, and just as he’s about to pick a target to demonstrate it on, Hachi demonstrates that good old Hachi-luck by wandering in to give them a piece of his mind!

Listen to Hachi kids- winners don’t do drugs. That’s why he’s… the guy who constantly gets himself beaten up and shot and trashed and okay never mind the message. Hachi and Hodi get into an argument, Hachi telling Hodi that his plans are crazy and will never work and Hodi reprimanding him by telling Hachi he was once upon a time just as bloodthirsty as them, but that he’s totally gotten soft, old and sould out to, like, the MAN you know? Hatchi also asks why Decken and Hyozou help Hodi when they refused Arlongs call, and their response? Decken is too coocoo for cocoa puffs to work underneath anyoney and Hyozou’s just in it for the dollah dollah bills yall.
Hodi spits upon the softie Hachi’s become, as Decken decides WAY too many hours have gone by without some quality stabbing. He touches Hachi with his none-gloved hand…

And the results are plain to see. The ’Target Fruit’ lets Decken turn any projectile he ever throws into a homing one, locked on to the target hes touched and ’stored’ in one of his palms wherever they may be, and that his gloved hand is one that he hasn’t washed for ten years- ever since he touched the princess Shirahoshi. He then grabs a whole quiver of arrows and dares Hachi to find out his ability's weak spot. It… doesn’t work out very well for Hachi. Hodi then lets the human pirates in on the whole human missile plan, and tell them it’s this or a long walk through a thin bubble…
As we rejoin the present Brook runs back to let the minister of the right notify king Neptune that the princess has been kidnapped, while said princess tells Luffy she wants to visit a grave she hasn’t seen IN TEN YEARS… dun. Dun. Duuuun. And by the deep sea forest, by that very grave, sits none other than the Knight of the Sea himself, Jinbe…

And man oh man, are the unspoken connotations making Decken look MIGHTY creepy right the fuck now.
We open with a picture of… that girl who made riceballs for Zoro! Back at that island! Rika apparently, lord knows I had forgotten all about her. Wonder what she’d say if she could see Coby and Helmeppo now.
As fishmen and mermen alike look to the skies, a guard tries their damnedest to notify the palace that a whole school of fishmen are approaching the kingdom with unknown intentions… but not for long, as we then cut to the assembled fleet of deep sea monsters carrying the New Fishmen Pirates towards their destination- the union of fishmen and mermen!... What?

Again, what? Union by attacking the kingdom? What? There’s a lot of crazy going on here, but Hodi can’t be bothered by that right now- he tells the crew to split up and suppressed their designated areas, which will somehow unite the mermen and fishmen in harmony and oh who cares these guys are idiots. Here’s something to care about- Robin! Who is on the hunt for a poneglyph she’s confirmed to exist somewhere in the area, and that’s all we’ll see of her until she’ll make her mysterious and timely appearance on the battlefield I guess. Back to Zoro and the King! (The much less successful, and violent, action movie version of Anna and the King, wherein Zoro teach Neptunes children how to bleed copiously without dying).
Basically- pirates showed up, Zoro kicked their asses, the minister of the left proceeds to bitch Zoro out for his efforts. While Usopp despairs over what his life has become and Brook sighs despondently that Luffy got to see that sweet piece of tail princess before he did, Neptune is bawling his eyes out and the only one who seems to have their head screwed on straight is Zoro. You know it’s a bad situation if you have to turn to HIM for directions. When Nami and Brook try to convince Neptune Luffy wouldn’t/couldn’t have kidnapped the princess because he’s not that kind of guy/there wasn’t a woman with him, Neptune tells her that the princess is as huge as he is and couldn’t have been missed (prompting Brook to come up with a hilarious mental image), whereupon he then figures it out- Luffy must have stuffed Shirahoshi inside the shark!
Oh, the soldiers say, come off it- no one could ever think of a plan that stupid. They do not know what we know, that when Oda is in charge- don’t ever underestimate how silly things can get. Also- one of the pirates totally managed to open the corridor while no one was watching. Oh dear.
But enough of that- Franky-time. He too has arrived at the Sea Forest, where he is conversing with none other than Tom’s relative mentioned in an earlier chapter! He tells Franky he’ll be happy to do the coating of the ship made from the legendary wood ”Adam”, and introduces himself…

As Den! Funky fishman genetics lesson included, free of charge. I have no idea if this is even mildly feasible, but fuck it- magic tree that can transfer sunlight from the top, people. All bets are off.

Also possibly only through some kind of magic- Franky being that adorable. While Franky watches Jinbe watching the grave, we then see the connection corridor has been lowered, allowing Hodi Jones, ex-soldier of the Ryuuguu Kingdom (thanks for the exposition Righty) and Vander Decken to walk into the palace like they own the place, prompting them to comment on what an insanely convoluted set of fortunate circumstances must have occurred in order to land them the king, tied up like it’s their birthday! As Zoro sighs at all these goshdarn distractions and Usopp freaks out a bit, Vander Decken makes casual conversation with Neptune.
![[Cue laugh-track]](https://p2.dreamwidth.org/622bf7f33c29/1409929-14769/i172.photobucket.com/albums/w8/Maken_Master/One%20Piece%20recap%20pics/m616015.jpg)
Well, casual for Vander Decken, at least. When it finally dawns on him that Shirahoshi is gone, Hodi tells Vander to go out and find out where she is with his fruit- whereupon Hodi chops off a piece of coral and jumps on it as it flies straight towards his bride to be…

Thoughts right now? Decken, meet Luffy. Luffy, beat Decken. I’m eagerly looking forward to the next chapter now. Also, where the hell are the princess and why didn’t they enter the palace when the connecting corridor opened?
Also! New Log Pose koma- this time we’re DETECTIVES! It can be downloaded over here, and features Luffy and Usopp as Holmes and Watson, and the rest of the cast as crazy killers and criminals! Good times are had by all.
