Enraged, Arlong seeks revenge but is captured by Vice Admiral Borsalino and imprisoned. Jinbe joins the Seven Warlords and secures Arlong's pardon. However, Arlong, angered by Jinbe's decision to become a Warlord, leaves to form the Arlong Pirates. Otohime continues her movement and initially gains support. However, the citizens begin retracting their support for the petition, leading her to drunkenly urge unity between fishmen and humans. Soon after, Mjosgard, a World Noble, arrives on Fishman Island in a shipwreck. Otohime rushes to assist and prevents Mjosgard from being killed. Mjosgard threatens Otohime, prompting Shirahoshi to accidentally summon the Sea Kings, revealing Vander Decken's interest in her. Otohime accompanies Mjosgard to Mary Geoise and returns a week later with an important document.

Otohime returns to Fishman Island with a signed document showing support from the Celestial Dragons, successfully gathering signatures for her petition. She reveals to her sons that Shirahoshi can summon Sea Kings but lacks control over the ability. Later, a fire destroys many of the signatures, and Otohime is fatally shot. With her dying breath, she asks for forgiveness. Hody frames a deceased human pirate for her murder, inciting anti-human sentiment. King Neptune isolates himself, while Fukaboshi vows to continue his mother's mission. In the present, Jinbe admits he couldn't stop Arlong's tyranny, but Nami forgives him. In a public broadcast, Hody declares war on humans and fishmen who support them. Zoro, Usopp, and Brook are revealed to be held hostage, and Hody threatens to eliminate King Neptune and the Straw Hats. In the Sea Forest, Robin finds a Poneglyph written in the form of an apology addressed to someone named Joy Boy. Jinbe reveals that Hody is frightened by Shirahoshi's ability, as it could ruin his plans. When Luffy insists on saving his crew, Jinbe intervenes and prepares to fight Luffy.
