I feel this situation is one a group should house rule before starting a game. Technically the rules say The monster in Tokyo Bay leaves but if your group agrees your variant then who cares. Have fun and play more games.
I agree with this.
Although it is arguable that it's not clear what should happen when the monster in Tokyo is killed, there is nothing in the rules that suggests the monster in Tokyo Bay should move to Tokyo. The quote above is the only mention of it and taken literally would result in: P1 dies, P3 enters Tokyo, P2 leaves Tokyo Bay.
But that said, if your group prefers to handle it differently, more power to you. It's a light game, meant to be quick and fun; not one to be rules-lawyered to death.
