This recap-saga episode brings the Straw Hats to Fish-Man Island, where the crew scatters on entry, Luffy's party reunites with Camie at Mermaid Cove, and a clash with the kingdom's princes and pirates drives them into town.
Summary
The Straw Hat Pirates reach Fish-Man Island, but bursting through the protective bubble that surrounds it splits them apart. Luffy's group lands first and is found by Camie, who guides them to Mermaid Cove. The peaceful visit does not last, as the kingdom's princes and the fish-man pirates encountered earlier interrupt the gathering. In the resulting commotion Sanji collapses from a nosebleed, and the group is forced to flee toward the island's town.
Key Events
The crew arrives at Fish-Man Island and is separated while crossing the bubble barrier. Camie locates Luffy's party and leads them to Mermaid Cove. The Ryugu Kingdom's princes and the hostile fish-men pirates appear, breaking up the meeting. Sanji is overcome by a nosebleed amid the chaos, and the group escapes into the town.
Notes
This is the sixth installment of the Special Edited Version covering the Fish-Man Island Saga, a recap-style recompilation rather than a fresh broadcast. It draws on part of Episode 527 and the whole of Episode 528 as its original sources. The Fandom page remains a stub with no detailed long summary, and the episode opens with the Straw Hat version of We Go! and closes with the ending theme Sailing.
