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.Next Week: Episodes 543-547Episode 542 is fillerhttps://linktr.ee/goingmerrypodPlease support Brandon and his family as they go through such a rough time in their lives!

The crew has arrived at fishman island but they are once again split up. Tension is brewing with the New Fishman Pirates and the straw hats dont even realize it! King Neptune formally invites the crew for a banquet at the palace.
