Sanji has fallen to such a sad state over the last two years.
Summary:
Luffy and crewmates are hanging out with the mermaids. Luffy wants to visit Jinbei and asks Keimi about where to find him, but Keimi states that Jinbei is not around. Suddenly, the quintuplets arrive to warn the group that a royal ship is approaching, and Luffy and comrades are hidden by the mermaids. Shortly after, a royal gondola arrives with the three merman princes of the Neptune Army led by first son Fukaboshi, and the royals are here after hearing reports of someone entering the island illegally. The mermaids manage to convince Fukaboshi that whatever he is looking for isn't here, but just as the royals turn around to leave Sanji has an explosive nosebleed due to being held to close to the bosom of one of the mermaids. This attracts the attention Fukaboshi who deploys his knights. Nearby, Hammond and some henchmen are also looking at the situation.
Realizing that Sanji has lost a lot of blood, Chopper, Luffy and Usopp ask the merfolk to donate blood as Sanji has the rare RH- blood type. Hammond reveals himself at this point and states that no fishman or merfolk would give blood to a human due to bad blood between the races. Hammond then demands Luffy come with him to see his captain Hodi Jones, but Luffy refuses and knocks out Hammond's group. Taking advantage of the commotion, Keimi steals the royal gondola and takes Luffy and company towards town where there are humans who might be a match. As the group take off towards town, Keimi starts to doubt herself as there haven't been many human visitors lately and there are rumors about a big shadow spreading through the kingdom. Meanwhile back at the mermaids' place, Fukaboshi reveals that his group actually wants to give Luffy a message from Jinbei.

Sanji... I knew the mermaids would be bad news for his nosebleed, and holding it in just made things worse. Oda is really sticking with this nosebleed thing and making it a legitimate weakness for Sanji instead of just using it as a joke, and I'm not sure if that's a good thing. Anyways, Jinbei is finally mentioned, and the Neptune Army and the princes don't sound like the bad guys if they are on good terms with Jinbei. The New Fishman Pirates are still pretty shady, but it's unknown if they are the true culprits behind whatever bad things are happening to Fishmen Island. The arc is still in its early stages, and we don't even know what's going on with the rest of the Straw Hats yet.
