Thank you to all of our listeners to giving us a couple weeks to relax on a vacation together and re-collect ourselves. It was a great feeling to be back recording and a solid set of episodes to come back to. The New Fishman Pirates have been defeated and the Straw Hats FINALLY get their banquet. it has been 2 years since the crew has celebrated together, but Jinbe interrupts the celebration to drop some news on them after being absent the last 2 years. Luffy decides to enter the New World with a bang and picks a fight with one of the 4 emperors before heading back up to the surface!

After a little bit of a distraction in town with Shirahoshi, Luffy finally reunites with Jinbe! While it feels like a happy gathering at first, the tone darkens due to Nami and Jinbe's mutual connection to Arlong. To give further background to why Arlong was in the East Blue as well as on the rising tension at fishman island, Jinbe tells the group about 2 huge role models for Fishman Island. Fisher Tiger and Queen Otohime both fought to end the prejudice between fishmen and humans, but they did so in their own separate ways.
