Yup, a shoujo classic eclipses Luffy and the Straw Hats' fishy adventure and ends up Most Wanted — at least over at LXO at the time of writing. But since Imma need the blog real estate to Babble™ over Miss Modern (Haikara-san ga Tooru, the bunko edition), lemme lead with One Piece volume 62.

The Straw Hats sail to the New World, bearing for Gyojin island where merfolk dwell. Before they can berth, Luffy and crew run into pirates, submarine volcanoes and a ginormous creature from the deep.
[Additions from VIZ Media's One Piece, Vol. 62]
They reach shore eventually, much to the isle's alarm because Madam Sharley, a fortuneteller, predicts that Luffy will destroy the island.
