Chouchou followed Zoro's scent through the streets of Fish-Man Island while the locals stared at the strange creature curiously, as they had never seen a dog before in their lives.
He continued down the streets until he reached the far end of the island, wondering how Zoro had ended up there, but what shocked the animal the most was that his scent ended at the bubble, making him wonder where Zoro had gone.
"WOOLF!!!" He started barking, but the only response from the other side of the bubble were the fish swimming at the bottom of the sea.
With no choice left, Chouchou had to simply turn around before heading back to the group going to the square, unsuccessful in finding his companion.
Deep under the sea... beneath the main island, the atmosphere wasn't at all pleasant or even shocking like above, since a group neither knew what was happening up at the port nor seemed very happy with the news that Whitebeard was still alive, which destroyed all their plans. How would they launch an attack on Ryugu Palace now?
"This is bad... Jones!" Dosun spoke with a worried tone.
"Yes... Moreover, that man who defeated Arlong in the East Blue is extremely powerful... Can we handle him?!" Zeo said with a somber tone.
"You saw what he did at Marineford, his crew is as powerful as him... besides..." Daruma said before glancing at a corner.
"My Shirahoshi is back!! But my powers no longer work on her!!!" Decken IX started crying.
"Why are you so down? Just drink a bit and it'll pass." Hyouzou spoke while belching a bit from his bottle of rum.
"Hody Jones!!!" Suddenly, a fish-man entered the place with an urgent tone.
"What now?!" Hody Jones was already in a bad mood as he looked at the fish-man.
"There's a human in the district!!" He exclaimed.
"A human? What is he doing here?!" Hody Jones couldn't help but be surprised.
"He's out there!!" The man pointed as they immediately went out to see, while a group of fish-men who shared Hody Jones's ideology more than celebrating Whitebeard's return on the main island, stared, forming a crowd around that human, who was none other than Zoro himself.
'I feel so weak...' Zoro murmured while he was in the middle of the sea, barely able to move in the water with geppo, feeling a great pressure on his powers. But he still managed to stay within the sea.
'Gosh... How can they get lost like this... don't they have any sense of direction?!' Zoro murmured while his cheeks puffed up as he held his breath.
He looked in front of him, a crowd was surrounding him at that moment while new fish-men approached him, looking at him with interest.
'Maybe they can help me.' Zoro thought and started making signs.
Hody Jones looked on, stepping in front of all his subordinates. "What is he doing?!" A fish-man asked as Zoro was making strange gestures, since he couldn't speak.
"I don't know... humans are so strange..." Another fish-man spoke.
"Hey... I know who he is! It's Roronoa Zoro!" Daruma said, recalling that he saw the poster of the Straw Hat Pirates, a group they had been interested in since they knew they were with the mermaid princess with them after defeating Arlong.
"So he's the spacey one of their crew..." Hyouzou seemed interested as he drank his alcohol underwater.
Zoro continued making strange gestures at the bottom of the sea with a slightly tired face. "Can anyone tell what he's saying?!" Ikaros Much asked as he saw the human continuing to mime to everyone there.
"Let me see!" A thunderous voice was heard at this moment, as the huge Wadatsumi looked at Zoro with narrow eyes.
"Can you guys tell me how to get to the square... of the island?!" Wadatsumi spoke with a pause while trying to see each movement of Zoro and what he wanted to say.
"Square... He's talking about the main island...?!" The fish-men soon became astounded by this, wondering if this man had some sort of directional problem, after all, the square of the island was on the island.
"I think this human is lost?" One of the fish-men murmured.
"Humans are really inferior beings..." Another mocked.
"Isn't this a chance to destroy the pirates who ruined Arlong?!" another murmured.
"This sounds interesting..." Hyouzou said, coughing drunkenly. "Leave it to me?!" He spoke and grabbed his sword.
'Hm?!' Zoro looked at the fish-man who suddenly moved, at high speed in the sea, but for Zoro, even weakened in the sea, he saw the swordsman coming in slow motion.
"What?!!" Everyone exclaimed in the next moment as Zoro defeated the fish-man with one strike, reappearing behind him while Hyouzou had white eyes with his blood streaming through the water as he floated defeated.
"Can you two stop that... let them be." Madame Shyarly said alongside, looking at her employees with disapproval.
"I wonder if he'll go to the Mermaid Cafe?! That would be interesting!" another mermaid murmured.
"I don't know... but now that the banquet is over, let's get back to work." Madame Shyarly said eventually.
Back at Ryugu Palace, the party continued while all the pirates went there as Shirahoshi seemed quite comfortable seeing the rooms of her castle after years locked in her room.
"It's so good to see my daughter not afraid to leave her room anymore!!!" Neptune cried as he watched Shirahoshi looking curiously at all the places in her house.
"But that doesn't mean I'll let that damn human marry my daughter!!" Neptune concluded.
"Hee... So this is Neptune's palace...!" Hachi murmured.
"So big!!" Camie said excitedly.
"There must be many treasures here!!" Nami exclaimed with dollar signs in her eyes.
"Hey hey, can you stop that." Nojiko slapped Nami's head.
"Is there a dragon outside, can we beat it?!" Yamato asked curiously.
"You know that's a statue, right?" Kuina said looking at Yamato as if she were a fool.
"OWW! Never thought I'd be here in my life!" Pappag exclaimed, raising his hands.
"Speaking of which, where is Luffy?!" Lucy asked, still eating.
"He went to talk to pops about something..." Ace replied beside her while also eating, after all, Lucy had finished all the food at the banquet in the square and they had to eat here.
"So, what did you want to talk to me about that needed to be private?" Luffy asked looking at Whitebeard drinking his rum, this was a different situation from what happened on the boat, after all here they had privacy, while Whitebeard needed to talk about the future of his children, since he didn't have much longer to live after the damage he suffered at Marineford.
