Law's room ended up making a pretty good barrier to keep the soapy bubbles from evaporating into the air that can't support them. The coating isn't as strong as it would be if they were coating this in Sabaody, but they'll have to recoat everything once they get to Fishman Island or the bubbles might just pop underwater.
With everyone helping that can, Rayleigh inspected the entire ship twice and then deecided that it was done and they were ready to seat sail to Fishman Island. Franky started the ship up to go under the water. Once the boat was completely underwater, Rayleigh told Law he could let it go now, so he did and was a little worn out. Bepo and the other two went over to comfort him even though he really didn't need it, they just cared for their captain.
Bepo seemed to be the one that was most excited about being underwater, even though he's in a submarine all the time. Which the left in Wano Kingdom with the rest of their crew. But the ship was already croeded as is, and with Rayleigh staying on the boat, it got even more crowded.
The ocean below was just as vast and beautiful as before. Everywhere you look there would be and Sea Kings. Giant Sea Kings. It was so beautiful. Everyone enjoys the scenery even though they saw it not too long ago, but it's been a while for Ace, Sabo, Law, and the most of the others as well. It's even the first time for a few of them as well.
Time had passed with no trouble from Sea Kings with Rayleigh using his Haki to scare them. Luffy wasn't too happy about that seeing as how he couldn't get any Sea King meat, but Nami and the others were fine with it since the bubbe now isn't as strong as last time and didn't want to risk it. Rayleigh felt the same. Soon, they could see Fishman Island. And this time, they were going to go in the right way.
"Rayleigh," said Luffy. "Do we have to go in the right way? I mean, I wanted this to be a surprise to people but if they see the ship it won't be a surprise anymore."
"Oh, don't worry about that Luffy." said Rayleigh. "I told the gate people to keep this a secret and see what they could do to hide the ship. So we'll be able to slip in with no one watching."
"Oh wow!" said Luffy happily. "Thanks so much!" There was a big smile on is face.
"Haha, you're quite welcome Luffy." Said Rayleigh slightly laughing.
They got into Fishman Island just fine with no one spotting them. Now, they just had to hide the ship. THe ones that haven't been to Fishman Island before were all really excited. Vivi's face lit up. She saw mermaids able to be on land because of bubble rings to make them float. Koza felt the same way as Vivi. After all, they went over Mariejois so they didn't get a chance to this beautiful Island. If you could even call it that. Kinemon, Momonosuke, and Kanjuro were all excited about it too. While Law, and the rest of Luffy's crew were all normal...well, except for Sanji who still wants to run around and find all the pretty mermaid girls. Law was acting like he always does, not caring. And Ace and Sabo were just being themselves.
As they all got off the boat, they decided to wonder around for a few days do Rayleigh could recoat the ship, and also explore a bit.
"I'm going to go find Jinbei, than Shirahoshi!" Screamed Luffy running off onto island.
"Don't make a racket, Luffy!" Screamed Nami but Luffy didn't hear. "LUFFY!" And he still didn't stop so she ran after him.
"Come on, Robin! Let's go look around!" Said Koala. "You've already been here before not too long ago, so you must know all the fun things to do!" She grabbed Robin's arm and pulled her away.
"W-wait!" said Robin a little surprised. "Wait a second Koala!"
Koala stopped. "What is it, Robin?"
Robin was calm again. "Koala...we don't have to rush. We have plenty of time. Don't worry. Besides, we'll have to meet up with Luffy and Nami sometime soon because I want to say hi to Jinbei and Shirahoshi as well."
"Alright. That's fine. We can do whatever you want!" She pulls Robin's arm again and runs off with Robin who looks like she's about to fall being dragged around like that.
Sanji and Chopper left together to go get food and medicine. Franky stayed with Rayleigh to help with the coating, and to make sure nothing would happen to the ship. Usopp left to go get stuff to use for his weapons. Zoro left and started wondering around by himself. Brook didn't want him to get lost so he follwed him, but ended up losing him, saw pretty mermaids, and got distracted with them.
"...Well," Said Sabo. "Let's get going too, shall we Ace?"
Ace looked straight ahead, "Yeah...it's been a while since I've been here." They walked off smiling happy to be together again for it has been too long and they just want to be brothers and do brotherly things before it's too late.
