What seems like a rather "insagnificant" and funny chapter might not be so... happy... it starts out with Madam Shirley (and her creepy eyes) breaking her crystal ball. This is very significant because it shows just how much of an impact the straw hats have had on Fishman island. For Madam Shirley to break her crystal ball (which has never been wrong) and instead put her faith in the straw hats is, a huge show of trust. She seems to think that her prediction was wrong and that the has no need of her "gift" anymore. But is that truly the case? In a way the straw hats destroyed fishman island, they destroyed the racism and hatred toward humans, because Fishman Island's protector and savior was indeed human. But there is also the possibility that the prediction wasn't talking about that either, instead it was talking about something in the distant (or not so distant) future.
Aside from that dark note this truly was a funny chapter, with many warm and heartfelt goodbyes, and a promise. A promise from Luffy and the crew ( and nosebleed-san) that one day they would escort her to the surface so she could safely see a real forest. She in turn promised not to be such a crybaby, which would definitely be a change...Oh and one more thing of note, a miracle really, Luffy paid attention during the explanation of the new log pose. This is going to prove troublesome for the rest of the crew because aside from pointing the way to 3 different islands, it also indicates which one is the most dangerous. Gladly it should prove entertaining for us though because it would seem that every island is going to prove a challenge. Well thats it for this week nothing to do now but wait for chapter 654 and read more manga :)
