On the long street with few people, Ji Guoyuan paused for a moment, and his observation Haki instantly enveloped the entire Fishman Island.
The chaotic Fishman Island exudes an aura of decay and death. The people are all worried and frustrated about the unknown future. This collective emotion also makes the entire Fishman Island not as lively and energetic as before.
Yoriichi Tsugikuni's observation Haki can sense human emotions, and the atmosphere currently displayed on Fishman Island is not what he likes.
However, soon, Tsugikuni Yoriichi's observation Haki had already captured Jinbe's breath.
Upon learning that Jinbe was still alive, Tsugikuni Yoriichi breathed a sigh of relief. After all, it was good news.
After not visiting for a few years, Fishman Island has undergone tremendous changes, but Yoriichi understands that the reason why Fishman Island is like this now is not because of Jinbe's mismanagement.
Jinbe works diligently in his position as base commander and regularly reports to headquarters on all kinds of intelligence regarding Fishman Island, no matter how big or small, whether it is business, military, or people's livelihood.
In the eyes of the Wan Guo Headquarters, Fishman Island has always been one of the most prosperous islands under their control.
Even in the chaotic situation of Fishman Island, one can still see the island's past prosperity from the street scenes.
There are rows of shops along the street, spacious streets, and densely packed new residential houses in the center of the city.
All of this indicates the prosperity of Fishman Island.
After sensing Jinbe's breath, Tsugikuni Yoriichi's originally anxious heart calmed down completely. He was not in a hurry to rush to Ryugu Castle to rescue Jinbe. Instead, he walked slowly along the long street towards Ryugu Castle.
It has been a long time since he last came to Fish-man Island, and Yunyi also wanted to experience the current Fish-man Island firsthand. At the same time, his observation Haki also firmly locked onto the Five Elders and others, and was also quickly detecting the breath of other strong men.
For a strong person at his level, it is very important to know yourself and your enemy.
His opponents on this trip are not just the Five Elders, but the Navy Admiral Magellan is also a powerful enemy he must overcome.
Moreover, compared to the Five Elders with their strange abilities, Magellan's devil fruit ability also poses a huge threat to Yoriichi.
Tsugikuni Yoriichi's level of domineering power is naturally higher than Magellan's, but Magellan's strength lies in the fact that his devil fruit ability can affect those who have domineering power far exceeding his own.
It is precisely because of this devil fruit ability that Magellan is able to sit firmly in the position of Admiral of the Navy.
Yunyi was unwilling to use his own body to test whether his Haki could be immune to the power of the Poison-Poison Fruit.
His purpose of coming to Fishman Island is not just to drive out the Five Elders.
He came to Fishman Island with the intention of leaving all the Five Elders here. When fighting against a strong man of that level, any weakening was unacceptable to Yoriichi Tsugikuni.
For this reason, Yoshikazu Tsugakuni also set his primary target on the antidote carried by the navy.
It never hurts to make some preparations in advance.
After wandering aimlessly in Fishman Street for more than ten minutes, all the information he needed came into his mind.
Then, his figure disappeared on the long street without any warning, and he quickly rushed towards the direction of Dragon Palace City.
Dragon Palace City.
The Five Elders gathered together and sat on high chairs in the center of the hall. In front of them, King Neptune, covered in blood, lay weakly on the floor. He was holding an iron box in his hands and handing it to the Five Elders.
Neptune was concerned about Shirahoshi's safety, and he obeyed all the orders given by the Celestial Dragons.
However, after such a long search, they still haven't found the whereabouts of the Straw Hat Pirates and others. This made the Five Elders very angry, and they vented all their anger on Neptune.
The scars on Neptune's body are the marks left by the punishment of the Five Elder Stars including Garin Saint.
Neptune had no idea that his daughter had been protected by the Sea Kings in the Shell Castle. The people of the World Government did think about kidnapping Shirahoshi and using her life to force Neptune to do things for them, but they had no way to break through the Sea Kings' defenses.
Even if the Five Elders took action personally, they would not be able to drive away so many sea kings in the ocean.
However, there was an information gap between Neptune and the Celestial Dragons. He had no idea that his daughter Shirahoshi was safe.
In order to appease the Celestial Dragons who were furious because they couldn't find the Straw Hat Pirates, Neptune also presented them with treasures from the Ryugu Palace.
The Five Elders would not even take ordinary gold, silver, or treasures seriously.
However, what Neptune handed over today aroused the interest of all the Five Elders.
"Neptune, is this the thing you called 'murder medicine'?"
Saint Satan looked down at Neptune with a hint of curiosity on his face, and his eyes were also looking at the iron box in Neptune's hand.
The deadly drug E.S.
A special medicine that is only circulated in Fishman Island. Just one pill can double a person's body functions. Two pills can quadruple the effect, and so on.
This is a special drug that can break the genetic shackles of the human body. It can help humans break through their limits and reach a new realm. However, the price to pay is also very heavy. The drug overdraws human potential, and the price is life.
But even with such terrible side effects, the deadly drug is still extremely valuable.
Breaking through the limits of the human body and doubling human strength makes it possible to easily overcome crises that were originally insurmountable. For the vast majority of ordinary people, the deadly medicine can be said to be another life.
Of course, the world is vast, and people will always encounter crises that even taking powerful medicine won't help them overcome, but...
If one deadly pill can't help him get through this crisis, what about two, three, or even more?!
When you are in a life-threatening situation, the side effects of the deadly drug seem insignificant.
The Five Elder Stars all realized the strategic value of the deadly medicine, and they actually secretly hoped that the deadly medicine mentioned by King Neptune would be able to work on strong people of their level.
if
If such medicine can increase their strength exponentially, does it mean that they can break free from the shackles that bind their bodies?
It is true that Im gave them the ability to live forever, but as a price, they, the Five Elders, will become Im's slaves forever.
The Five Elders have lived for so long and have truly tasted power. How can they be willing to be slaves forever?
The appearance of the deadly medicine also caused some unrealistic fantasies in the minds of the Five Elders.
"Yes, this is the murderous medicine sealed in the treasure house."
"This is a forbidden item, but it is also an undisputed treasure!"
"I hope you won't harm Shirahoshi no matter what. To that end, I'm willing to give up everything Fishman Island has to create this medicine specifically for the World Government."
Neptune's attitude was very humble. There was no longer any kingly demeanor in him. All that was left was the weakness that he had as a father.
"If the drug is as effective as you say, we will do what we promised."
Saint Satan, leaning on his cane, slowly stood up from his seat and walked in front of Neptune. He reached out and gently picked up the small iron box, and with a flick of his finger, he directly opened the lid.
The box contains an inner liner made of colored glass, which contains about a hundred black and white capsules of medicine, looking quite ordinary.
Saint Satan took a deadly pill from the box and held it in front of him to examine it. He sniffed lightly, but could not smell any other scent.
Glancing at Neptune in front of him, Saint Satan curled the corners of his mouth slightly and handed the medicine in his hand to King Neptune.
Saint Satan's intentions could not be more obvious.
King Neptune hesitated for only a moment before reaching out to take the medicine from Saint Satan's hand, then put it directly into his mouth and swallowed it.
“Hmm—”
The drug started to take effect soon after it was taken. Neptune, who was taking this kind of medicine for the first time, was not mentally prepared. The severe pain from his body made him cry out in pain, but then the pain suddenly faded away, replaced by an inexplicable sense of power coming from his limbs.
Under the effect of the drug, King Neptune's muscles began to swell, and the aura he exuded became extremely fierce.
Under the infusion of power, King Neptune felt that he was now omnipotent. He stood up, his eyes full of red, and glanced at the Five Elders in the hall. Suddenly, some inappropriate thoughts came to King Neptune's mind.
A crazy thought came to his mind, and King Neptune in front of Saint Satan also exuded a strong murderous intent in his eyes.
This chilling murderous intent was naturally sensed by the Five Elders in the hall, but their faces still maintained their previous calmness.
Saint Satan, who was standing in front of King Neptune, saw the amazing changes in Neptune's body. Not only did he not care about the terrifying aura emanating from King Neptune at this time, but he observed Neptune's body with some excitement.
“Hohoho——”
"It's amazing! It's an amazing drug!"
While carefully observing King Neptune's body, his eyes revealed a deep excitement.
Then, in Neptune's sight, Saint Satan excitedly took out another deadly pill from the box and stuffed it into his mouth.
Saint Satan's action also made Neptune's expression freeze. He didn't expect that the old man in front of him would actually swallow the deadly medicine like this.
People of his age are very afraid of the side effects of dangerous drugs. If it weren't for Satan's Saint Force, he wouldn't want to take this kind of medicine at all.
But isn't an old man like Satan Sheng afraid of the side effects of the deadly drug at all, and would test it on himself?!
Under Neptune's astonished gaze, Saint Satan's body also began to change.
“Hmm?!”
Somewhat different from Neptune, Saint Satan's body is obviously more adapted to the deadly drug, and unlike Neptune, Saint Satan's muscles did not swell significantly.
However, it can be sensed that Saint Satan's aura has also improved dramatically after taking the medicine.
This is an increase in the breath of "life" and has no direct connection with muscle expansion.
Saint Satan could feel that his strength had become much stronger, and after taking the deadly medicine, his perception of the surrounding environment also became more acute.
This drug can indeed increase his strength, but it is not as much as Neptune said that it can increase it by twice.
It seems that such drugs have different effects on different bodies.
However, this was also within the expectations of Saint Satan. After carefully feeling the effects of the murderous medicine, Saint Satan did not feel disappointed, but became extremely happy instead.
When one’s strength reaches their level, it becomes extremely difficult to improve further.
The World Government has researched this type of potential-stimulating drug before, but the drugs they developed have no effect on people at his level.
The appearance of the deadly drug did bring a surprise to Saint Satan.
"Very good! Very good! Neptune!"
The feeling of power coming from his body made Saint Satan burst into a hearty laugh involuntarily. While he was praising him, he silently put the deadly medicine into his arms.
The other five elders naturally noticed Saint Satan's little tricks, but they did not say anything to point it out, because Satan was the only "scientist" among them. After obtaining this medicine, the subsequent research and production still depended on him.
Moreover, they also saw the effect of the medicine from Saint Satan's reaction. This thing was useful to them, but it was not enough to change the situation of the Five Elders.
"As long as you are satisfied."
At this time, Neptune had also reacted quickly, and the murderous intent that was spreading quickly subsided. He bowed respectfully towards Saint Satan in front of him.
Looking at Neptune who fell in front of him again, Saint Satan's eyes showed some murderous light. Just as he was about to take action, he suddenly caught a glimpse of a red figure from the corner of his eye. The next moment, his back felt cold, and the hairs on his body stood up, and he was alarmed.
Under the influence of the deadly drug, Saint Satan sensed an unusual aura rapidly approaching him from behind.
With almost no hesitation, Saint Satan leaned to the side and left the spot in an instant.
However, blood spurted out from his arm without warning, followed by a sharp pain coming directly from his arm.
Saint Satan dodged sideways and rolled over, half-crouching on the ground. He tilted his head slightly and found that his left arm was empty, and bright red blood was flowing out of the wound.
“Crash—”
The warm blood of Saint Satan spilled on Neptune's back. Neptune, who noticed something was wrong, raised his head slightly and looked forward, but found that Saint Satan, who had been standing in front of him, had disappeared. Instead, there was a tall figure in red clothes with long hair.
The bright red long hair fluttered gently, and this scene made Neptune's pupils shrink suddenly. He connected the back of the person in front of him with the young man in his memory.
Not far away, the broken arm of Saint Satan fell to the ground, making a clear sound.
It was not until this time that the other five elders sitting on the platform realized the change. They stood up from their seats and looked at the red-haired boy who suddenly appeared in the hall with shock and anger on their faces.
“He actually dodged it?!”
Ji Guoyuan opened his lips slightly, glanced coldly at Satan Sheng who was covering the wound of his broken arm with his hand, and spoke in surprise.
