Chapter 764 Next, I'll leave it to you (5200 words)
[Ding~]
[Boom~~]
[A bell suddenly rang at the main entrance of Mermaid Island. ]
[The original guards of the Dragon Palace had naturally been expelled. The members of the New Fishman Pirates were guarding this place. When they heard the bell ring, they asked in a rough voice, "Who is it?"]
[“I’m the mermaid Kemi from the Mermaid Cafe…” a nervous voice came from the other side. ]
[Wow, it turns out to be a mermaid, so this is the human who came to Fishman Island? Hehe, Captain Hodi and his men cleared all the humans living on the island a few days ago, and I and others didn’t have a chance to have fun, so now this human is here, isn’t it? ]
[“The Straw Hat Pirates are going to enter the New World through here and apply to enter Fishman Island…”]
[“‘Straw Hat Pirates’? Sounds familiar…”]
[The new member of the Fishman Pirates muttered, and suddenly came to his senses. He suppressed his inner shock and hurriedly said, "Wait! Wait, this matter is of great importance. We need to consult the king..."]
[The Straw Hat Pirates, if I remember correctly, are the pirates with a bounty of over 100 million berries on their ship, and they have several super-nova pirates, right? ]
【Because of the aftermath of the Battle of the Top a year ago, even the Dragon Palace and Fishman Island were shaken, the residents of Fishman Island and Fishman Street also had a heated discussion for a while. The names and numbers of those eye-catching names in the Battle of the Top are still fresh in my memory! Straw Hat Boy Luffy, Pirate Hunter Zoro, Thunder Banshee Nami... According to the description in the newspaper, the terrifying demon son Robin seems to be flirting with the Thunder Banshee, ugh! I knew that this human woman and the Pirate Queen were unclear, and they must have different habits! 】
[The fishman guarding the entrance took a look at the monitor made of Den Den Mushi and saw who were the pirates at the door. He was so scared that his eyes almost popped out of their sockets.]
[Not only the son of the devil, but also that... that... that "eight-armed devil"!!!]
…
[“Is the Eight-Armed Devil also on the Straw Hat ship?”]
[In the Dragon Palace, Hody Jones, a man with long white hair and a sturdy physique, asked the Den Den Mushi in a stern voice, "Are you sure you didn't see it wrong?!"]
[The fishman on the other side is a little depressed. 】
[Boss Hodi, Boss Hodi, even if we don't talk about the "Eight-Armed Devil" who can be directly treated as the "Admiral of the Navy" and "Emperor of the Sea", even if it's just Straw Hat Luffy, Pirate Hunter, Thunder Banshee and the others, they are also a very terrifying group of pirates, okay? The bounties of these three new stars alone are almost 1 billion! ]
[It seems like we can’t afford to offend anyone. ]
[What this new member of the Fishman Pirates failed to notice was that beside the table in the guard room, a flower ear quietly blossomed and listened carefully to his conversation with Den Den Mushi.]
[“As an adult on the ship, you can’t let your guard down.”]
[Outside Fishman Island, on the Sunny, Robin and Lynch stand side by side. Lynch's Observation Haki is also sweeping over Fishman Island, but with little effect.]
[Firstly, he had never been to Fishman Island, so he had no idea what the aura of the people on the island was like. Without a reference, it was naturally difficult to judge the situation.]
【Secondly, the seabed environment is different from the land. There are deep-sea creatures everywhere. The auras are as complex as the stars in the sky. There are also large sea kings patrolling nearby, probably waiting for the call of Shirahoshi to awaken at any time. Such super-large auras are also interference. Once the range is expanded, the result of rashly releasing the observation Haki will be scalp tingling. If Lin Qi spends time and energy to sort out carefully, it is not impossible to identify them one by one... However, he has just arrived and doesn't know anyone. Is it worth it to waste his brains?】
[And the last point is what Lin Qi feels is the most solemn, thoughtful and contemplative...]
[I seem to have become too strong accidentally. ]
[The auras of others gradually became not much different from each other in my own perception of the color of seeing and hearing.]
[It’s okay for acquaintances, Lin Qi can remember their scent characteristics. 】
[As for those who are unfamiliar to me, I really have to say that, a grain of sand or a small stone, in front of Lin Qi's aura like a sun, is really... hard to tell apart! Scratching my head.]
[…Let’s go in and talk about it first! ]
[Lin Qi suppressed his laughter, knowing that the obviously powerful sister Robin next to him was still very cautiously using the Flower-Flower Fruit as a scout, while he himself had already simply started to fish.]
[“What’s the matter, Hodi Jones? Don’t you hate humans so much that you call yourself a completely glorious fishman?”]
[In the Dragon Palace, Neptune, who was heavily chained, had bloodshot eyes and asked in a deep voice, "Those Straw Hat pirates are also human beings. As the supreme fish-man... are you afraid of them?"]
【“……!!”】
【Hody Jones hangs up the Den Den Mushi.】
[He turned around, with a gloomy face, punched Neptune to the ground, and said coldly: "Neptune, your three sons and the mermaid princess are in my hands. If you dare to talk to me like this again, I will kill one of you first to make you realize your current situation. Listen carefully, I will let you go, and you will continue to be your king until you send those pirates out of Fishman Island. If you dare to show any abnormality or shamefully ask for help from humans... I will eat the flesh and bones of your beautiful daughter, the pearl of the sea, the mermaid princess Shirahoshi, bite by bite, alive and bite into pieces! ! ”]
[“You!!” Neptune’s eyes widened and he gnashed his teeth, “You’ve gone crazy, Hody Jones!”]
[Hody Jones said coldly: "I am really crazy for being irritated by you and running to fight those pirates head-on. They are just humans who can't even breathe in the sea. What is there to be afraid of when we grow stronger? It's just a temporary avoidance..."]
【Hoddy Jones leads his men away.】
[Neptune and the others were untied. They looked in the direction they left, which was the hard-shell tower where Shirahoshi and the prince were imprisoned. They clenched their fists, but finally had to let go.]
[After all, before he became king, he was also a tough guy known as the Great Knight of the Sea. Neptune actually did not mind dying. ]
【But, he can’t...】
[The royal bloodline of Fishman Island must continue. 】
[Because, the power of "Poseidon" that appears once every hundreds of years can only be revived in the mermaid princess with royal blood. ]
[We must not let this power be cut off...!!]
[Neptune closed his eyes in pain.]
…
[“Human pirates will enter Fishman Island. Let them continue their lives as usual and do not show any abnormal behavior! No discussion is allowed! No one is allowed to inform humans or ask for help!”]
[Hoddy Jones strode towards the Hardshell Tower, covered in blood and said coldly, "They should know what will happen if they dare to disobey us... I guess they don't want those children, and the mermaid prince and princess they respect, to die without a burial place, right?"]
[“Yes! Captain Hodi!”]
[Hoddy Jones pushed open the heavy door of the Hardshell Tower.]
[“…Really?…Wow…Wow…”]
[“…Will they really…really come to save us?…Wuwuwu…”]
[Every word that sounded like what Shirahoshi said came out from that tiny shell.]
[Hody Jones closed the door and sneered at the two people in the hard shell tower: "Your little thing didn't deceive us for a few days, but now it can help me a lot!"]
【Thinking of this, Hoddy Jones almost went crazy.】
[It's all Vander Decken's fault. He actually had the guts to quarrel with me just because he knew I was going to kill Shirahoshi! ]
[If we have the help of Vanderdecken's Target Target Fruit, we can immediately find out where Shirahoshi escaped to...]
[Perhaps it was because of his rage that Hoddy Jones staggered weakly, and quickly took out the deadly medicine from his body, stuffed it into his mouth, and ate it voraciously. His weakened body immediately surged with endless strength.]
【And endless hatred. 】
[Vander Decken, this bastard...his pursuit of the mermaid princess is fake, his real intention is to grasp the power of the mermaid princess! He is a bastard who is ruthless and wants to destroy the bridge after crossing it! He is indeed a descendant of the inferior human race! ]
…
[The members of the new Fishman Pirates left the Dragon Palace and went to the main island of Fishman Island below. With the efficiency of Fishmen being able to communicate with other fish, they quickly spread the news.]
[All residents of Fishman Island know that humans will enter Fishman Island. ]
[And so it was. A pirate ship shaped like a lion's head broke through the sea and floated in the Mermaid Bay. Pirates wearing strange armors came ashore one by one, fighting, laughing and cursing.]
[And the green-haired mermaid who brought them to Fishman Island...]
[It seems to be Kemi, the waitress at the former Mermaid Cafe. 】
[Is she friends with these human pirates? ]
[The fishermen in the streets and alleys turned their backs, looking embarrassed, sighing from time to time, and some showed indignant faces, wanting to complain or curse, but their companions covered their mouths to stop them. ]
[What these ordinary residents of Fishman Island did not see was that in the corners they had never noticed, dark green flower eyes and white flower ears were blooming in the corners of the streets and alleys, quietly watching them coming and going, and quietly listening to their suppressed whispers...]
[Nami was complaining that all men were idiots. Robin took the time to turn around and smiled: "Hmm? Not all of them are like that."]
[She exchanged glances with Lynch, who had just given the drowning Luffy the Lin-style first aid.]
【What really happened on this island. 】
[I'm going to the island to check out the situation and look for clues to the historical text. Robin's eyes seemed to be saying this.]
[If you want to know the situation, why not just go to the Dragon Palace and ask. Lin Qi blinked, as if he could speak with his eyes.]
[The two have known each other for twenty years, and they have a tacit understanding and are so familiar with each other that with just a slight glance, it seems as if they can hear what the other person is saying.]
There is no mistake in the poem, post, content, and read the book on 6, 9, and bar!
[In fact, they are too familiar with each other and know what the other party will do in this situation. ]
[So, everyone dispersed on the spot, and Lynch pulled Zoro straight to the Dragon Palace in another small bubble above his head. ]
[It's just the Moon Step. As Cavendish said, this skill has long been mastered by Zoro and other students who need it during this year of hellish training.]
[The two walked along the moon steps all the way to the Dragon Palace. ]
[Lin Qi knocked on the door with his stick and soon called out Neptune. Both Zoro and him noticed the injuries on King Neptune's body.]
[If it was the injury he received while cooperating with Ace and his men to resolve the turmoil caused by White II, then Neptune should be wearing bandages all over his body right now. ]
[But his injuries were obviously not treated...]
[Lin Qi and Zoro have a good understanding and continue to play the role of the robber knocking on the door without making any noise. Oh, pirates.]
【“Old Dragon King, take a look…” Lynch dragged Neptune into the Dragon Palace with his arm around his shoulders. Zoro glanced at Lynch’s wave-powered clone flowing into the wall and shuttling back and forth. Zoro knew the ability of Instructor Lynch very well, and knew that since he had taken action, there would naturally be a result. He just needed to continue drinking. 】
…
[“…Really?…Wow…Wow…”]
[“…Will they really…really come to save us?…Wuwuwu…”]
[Listening to the voice that sounded like the mermaid princess Shirahoshi's voice in the hard-shell tower, the ripple clone of Lynch's silhouette flowed directly through the crack of the door like dark blue ink, and flew along the door panel like a shadow to the ceiling, overlooking the scene in the hard-shell tower.]
[As I sensed with my observations outside the door, there are only three people in the Hard Shell Tower.]
【But there is no mermaid princess. 】
[The person sitting arrogantly in the middle is a fish-man with white hair and a mouth full of sharp teeth. He is probably the drug-taking master Hodie Jones. ]
[On his left and right, there was a young male mermaid with long blue hair. He looked like the Great Prince of Dragon Palace, Shark Star. However, his mouth was stuffed with a piece of bloody meat, and his eyes were full of numbness and grief. His empty eyes stared straight at Hodi Jones.]
[On the right, there is a middle-aged human male with only one arm left. He seems... familiar? ]
[Of course, these two people were tied up with heavy chains and could not move. The meat in Shark Star's mouth seemed to be the broken arm of the other middle-aged human.]
[Forcing Shark Star, who abided by his mother Princess Otohime's last words and vowed to fight for equal human rights with humans throughout his life, to eat human flesh and blood... Hodi Jones is really cruel. Look, he has driven the eldest prince almost crazy. ]
[“…” Hodi was looking coldly at the direction of the Dragon Palace through the wall. At this moment, accompanied by the old dog Neptune, the human pirates were eating and drinking lavishly.]
[Suddenly, a ball of dark blue "ink" fell from the ceiling of the Hard Shell Tower and landed on the floor with a plop.]
[“……?!” Hoddy Jones’ pupils shrank and he turned his head sharply to look. What is this? ! ]
[In the dark blue ink mass, a tall humanoid black shadow rose from the ground. It had no face, and seemed to be just a shadow. From the outline, it could only be seen that it was a tall and strong human male.]
[The dark blue shadow raised one hand, flicked his fingers, and sent out several powerful strikes through the air. Snap! Snap! Two crisp sounds, followed by the sound of metal chains rolling down - this dark humanoid figure actually broke the chains on Shark Star and the human with just two moves?!]
[Hodi Jones' eyes were red, and he was horrified. The Shark Star who had escaped from the trap took out the severed human arm from his mouth and rushed towards him like crazy, "I will kill you! Hodi Jones!!"]
【Bang!!】
[Hodi punches Sharkstar in the chest.]
[“If you want to kill me, shouting won’t work.” Hody Jones coldly kicked away the unbelievable Shark Star. “I am the one who has this power. You can’t—”]
【Bang!!!】
[Before he could finish his words, the blue-black wave clone had already arrived in front of him. A large hand casually slapped him on the cheek, and Hody Jones crashed directly into the wall he had just stared at...]
…
…
"boom!"
A large hole appeared in the wall, and Nami appeared amidst the surge of lightning. Behind her and around her, the imprisoned fishmen and mermaid children exclaimed in amazement: "Big sister, you are so powerful!"
Nami, like Merry on her shoulder, was looking at the two people imprisoned in another room behind the broken hole in the wall.
One is a fishman, and the other is also - eh, a male mermaid? "Prince of the Flipstar?" The children of Fishman Island behind Nami exclaimed, "Your Highness is here too?" "Why? Were you captured by the bad guys too?" "They are so badly injured..."
The third prince of the Dragon Palace, Flip Star, opened his eyes weakly and looked at the imposing Nami in shock. Beside him, the more seriously injured fishman Labster saw Nami and then looked at Mei Li on her shoulder. He seemed to confirm her identity and finally breathed a sigh of relief. He said with difficulty: "You are finally here, friends of Captain Ace... Next, it will be up to you..."
After saying this, Labster fainted.
Nami waited for a long time and said in surprise: "What's next? What are you going to leave to us? These kids can't explain anything clearly. I'm still confused!"
…
"Just sleep well, leave the rest to us."
In the tree hole in the coral jungle, Robin took out the swords, daggers and other weapons from Reg's body one by one, and used Chopper's secret medicine "Super Divine Water" to give Reg emergency treatment.
This is the only way. If the super divine water is not used, with Reg's injuries, I'm afraid she won't survive until the doctor arrives.
"This secret medicine can heal injuries quickly, but you will fall into a deep sleep for two hours." Robin said softly. Reg's wounds healed quickly and gradually became numb. She also felt very sleepy. She grabbed Robin's wrist, and Robin patted the back of her hand, nodded, and smiled: "Didn't you say that we are your lifelong benefactors? Since it's a lifetime, we can't just ignore it now."
With tears streaming down her eyes, Reg fell asleep with a smile on her face.
"The second prince of the Dragon Palace, His Royal Highness Huangxing, right?" Robin stood up and carried his small bag. "Can I leave my friend to your care?"
"Please rest assured." Huang Xing said firmly, "She and her two companions risked their lives to protect our sister and our three brothers. I will protect her even if I die!"
Robin smiled slightly, turned around, put on his sunglasses, and strode back towards Fishman Island.
…
[Fishman Island, Sea Forest——]
“What the hell, I thought it was an octopus fishman…” Franky sat on Ikaros, the leader of the new fishman pirate group, propped up his chin and said depressedly, “It turned out to be a giant squid fishman! Octopuses and squids are hard to distinguish, and putting them in the fishman makes it even easier to confuse them… This week, I really hate distinguishing species!”
I wonder what kind of fishman Master Tom's brother is? I have to find him quickly... huh?
Franky looked up, his eyes gradually widened, and he murmured, "This is really incredible... Sonny, how about you stay under the sea for a while?"
