The Calm Belt, Amazon Lily Island:
For a long time, Women's Island had been becoming stranger and stranger compared to its previous context.
For instance, the women on this island, also known as Amazonians, are no longer bothered by the presence of men. In fact, some of them are curious to learn more about men both physically and emotionally.
This change came after the decision of the Mother Empress, Gloriosa, who announced the cancellation of some strict laws that had been imposed on women on the island for centuries.
One such law was the prohibition of leaving the island without boarding a Kuja pirate ship. Shakky supported this decision, too.
In other words, now women here have the freedom to leave the island and live their own lives.
After all, a global travel company port was established here for this purpose, with three daily trips to and from Amazon Lily.
The fighter aircraft carrier near the island has also transformed into a luxurious sea train station, making Amazon Lily and the neighboring island to the north, Rasukaina, the first islands in the Calm Belt to have sea train foundations.
Even with the art store they had for a long time, their essence did not change forcefully, and they remained conservative. However, the Mother Empress's decision brought relief, just like the Amazonian girls who worked in the art store.
As for today, it was the Great Sunday, the fourth Sunday of the month, and the greatest of them all because it was the day of the One Piece manga update.
Inside the art store, the atmosphere was filled with vibrancy.
"What do you think about going to the art store in Shabondy to work there today, Dadan?"
"I really want to see how people there will react to their island's arc. As you know, that place is where pirates from all sea routes gather."
Shakky said with a playful expression on her face while smoking.
"But, my lady, is it good to leave things here to these beginners?"
Dadan pointed to the Amazonians whom Rob had hired as art store assistants.
"Don't worry, Glora will return from Ohara soon. Besides, Rita and Marlin are already here."
Rita, mentioned by Shakky, was the Empress of this generation who took Gloriosa's place after she abdicated.
And, of course, Marlin was a veteran store goddess, who was the first person Rob met when he first arrived here. (Who resembles Marguerite.)
After organizing things a bit here in Amazon Lily, both Shakky and Dadan left via instant transportation to the Sabaody Archipelago.
As a legendary hunter, Shakky's main task was to choose a subordinate area and protect it.
This time, Shakky chose the Sabaody Archipelago instead of her home island.

"One Piece" Events:
—————————
"I'm sorry!! Luffy-chin, can I give you the Takoyaki some other time?! I have to go and rescue a friend of mine, right now!!"
After receiving a call from the kidnappers of her friend, an octopus fishman named Hacchin, Caimie apologized to Luffy and wanted to leave.
"Huuuuh!?" Of course, Luffy didn't want that.
"Wait a minute now, Caimie! I don't mean to interfere, but if you're going to try and save your friend from those kidnappers... We'd be glad to help you out!"
Nami saw that the only opportunity to find the way to Fish-Man Island was to ask this mermaid, so she decided to help, or more specifically...
"Ah, well, to be more accurate... These guys will help you out."
Nami pointed to the men behind her.
"What about you?!" Both Usopp and Franky objected.
"And in return, you can show us the way to get to Fish-Man Island! How about it?"
"Huh?! Are you sure, Nami-chin?!" Caimie felt surprised and happy after hearing Nami's offer.
"You'll really help me get Hacchin out of there?! Luffy-chin..." Caimie naturally asked Luffy, thinking that he was the captain of this pirate ship.
"Sounds fine. But who is Hacchin anyway?" asked Luffy.
"He runs the Takoyaki shop where I work!! We make the tastiest takoyaki in the world," replied Caimie.
Upon hearing that, Luffy's eyes widened, and lines appeared on his forehead as he shouted: "WE HAVE TO SAVE HIM!!! ALL RIGHT, MEN!!! WE'RE RESCUING THE TAKOYAKI IF WE DIE IN THE PROCESS!!!"
"YEAAAH!!!" They all responded in perfect harmony. The captain had already decided their next course of action.
"Sounds like it's okay with them! You know where to go?" Nami sat next to Caimie and said with a smile.
"Let's see..." Caimie took out the map.
"Grove 44 is an island at the very eastern edge of the archipelago. If we just head towards the Sabaody Archipelago, we should reach this place on the way. Five kilometers before we reach the archipelago proper... We just have to head due west," said Pappagg, the starfish.
"And we can leave the rest to the fish."
"MM, sounds about right, let's go, then!! HEEEY!" Caimie shouted strangely into the sea.
"Setting off, are we? Did you guys find the way to Fish-Man Island?" Zoro finally emerged from the training room.
"Something like that... Check it out, Zoro, it's Caimie the Mermaid!! It's a real mermaid!! Isn't it cool?!!" Luffy said to Zoro while riding on Caimie's shoulder.
"Hello there!" Caimie greeted Zoro.
"Man... A mermaid, huh...?" Zoro recalled the old mermaid Kokoro but, after comparing her to Caimie, he decided to erase his memory about Kokoro, saying: "The first time for everything."
"It vanished!! The memory just vanished!!!" Chopper, who overheard Zoro's statement, noticed the change.

Fish-Man Island:
"Hahahaha!!!" A Fishman couldn't help but burst into laughter while reading the chapter. He couldn't contain himself and had to surrender to his amusement.
"Kahahaha!!!" The same goes for the nearby mermaid, who also held her stomach and laughed uproariously like never before.
"Hahaha! Enough! Please, enough of this! Hahaha! I'll die from laughter!" This was happening to a group of Fishmen living in the Fish-Man District.
They were all focused on the situation with Hacchin, whom they already knew, but the author kept making funny jokes about Kokoro, so they couldn't take it anymore.
"Hahahaha! Even Zoro wanted to erase his memory about Kokoro!" This Fishman was a devoted fan of Zoro, so he laughed more than anyone else.
"Did he just say: 'The first time for everything'? Hahaha! What a liar."
"Hahaha! Look at Chopper, as if he realized he's erasing his memory about Kokoro!" ...
..
Seeing this, Tom's expression darkened...
Even the most patient person would be annoyed when they see such a scene. After all, the subject of their laughter was his wife.
When he wanted to teach them a lesson, a soft hand stopped him.
"Don't do it, dear. If my presence makes them laugh and enjoy themselves, I love that."
Kokoro said with a smile. Her new appearance was so beautiful that it took one's breath away, but the gentle smile on her face was even more charming than her beauty.
She could wash away any sadness and dissatisfaction, and that's what happened with Tom.
"Rob-sama apologized to me for this incident even before it happened, and he restored my youth. Anything else doesn't matter to me."
"We all know that Luffy and his crew are just joking~"
"So, it's fine."
Seeing this, Tom could only sigh and continue reading the manga with mixed emotions.
