The nightmare that haunted the ordinary people of Fishman Island was quickly and completely dispelled thanks to the efforts of Jinbe and Ryugugujo.
The assassin of Princess Otohime was executed on the spot by Shanks, but the investigation of the case was not interrupted by the death of Hodie Jones.
After getting the overall plan from Arlong, the first thing Jinbei did after leaving Zefa's ship was to find Princess Otohime who was giving a speech in the square.
When Jinbei arrived, the assassination had just ended. When he saw Hodi Jones's gradually cold body, he was surprised but also breathed a sigh of relief.
As a native of Fishman Island, Jinbe has quite a bit of respect for Princess Otohime.
Although he did not fully accept Princess Otohime's ideas, Jinpei hoped from the bottom of his heart that everyone on Fishman Island could live freely under the sun like the fishmen living in Banko.
Jinbei was very happy to see that Princess Otohime survived the assassination attempt by Hodi Jones, and he also told Princess Otohime all the information he had at the moment.
After understanding the whole story, the group hurried back to Ryugu Castle. King Neptune then mobilized all the guards and, through Jinbe, took out all the fishmen who were "contaminated" by Hodi Jones.
After doing all this, Jinbe returned to his branch to dig out the pests in his team, while King Neptune personally led his team to charge towards Fishman Street and rooted out all the remnants of Vander Decken hiding in Fishman Street.
A pirate group that has been hiding in Fishman Island for many years, its power is definitely beyond the imagination of ordinary people.
Although the cadres were all captured, the pirates were still hiding in Fishman Street. Some of these pirates were well-informed and alert enough to realize the situation was not good when they lost contact with Vander Decken and left Fishman Street early.
However, there are still many fishmen who are hoping for luck and do not want to give up their comfortable living environment, and are then caught by King Neptune and his men.
After a large-scale search, King Neptune and Jinbe's men tacitly approached Zephyr again to express their gratitude and hope to extradite back the criminals caught by Zephyr.
Now that things have progressed to this point, Zefa will no longer hide it.
All the captured criminals and the rescued mermaid girl were handed over to Ryugu Castle. Of course, the former new navy officer Arlong was also taken away by Jinbei.
It was not until Zephyr told Jinbe, King Neptune and others all the information he knew that they both realized that Zephyr had only been on the island for a few days and had already known so many things.
When Jinbei was at Zephyr's place, he also saw Peacock who was "secretly imprisoned" by Zephyr.
"Mr. Zefa, you are really amazing!"
Such a thing had happened on his own territory, and it had taken the efforts of outsiders to investigate and resolve it all. As the new commander of the naval base, Jinbei was deeply ashamed, and in the end, he could only vent his complicated emotions with a single sentence.
This matter seemed to be resolved very smoothly, but Jinping knew that if Zefa had not come to Fishman Island by accident, and with Arlong's deception, it would not be possible for the New Navy to find out the truth in a day or two.
As for Dragon Palace City, there is no need to mention it.
If it weren't for the Red Hair Pirates, Princess Otohime would have nearly died at the hands of the Ryugu Castle Guard Captain, whom she had personally promoted. This was undoubtedly one of the greatest scandals in Fishman Island's history.
Fortunately, the ambitions of this group of people were strangled in the cradle. If these people were allowed to act successfully, it would be a disaster for Fishman Island.
The Dragon Palace City has no intention of disclosing to the public the recent events.
Under the leadership of Ryugu Castle, the kidnapped merman girls were sent back home one after another, and King Neptune also opened his treasure house and provided generous financial compensation to the kidnapped victims.
The impact of this incident was reduced to a minimum thanks to the efforts of Dragon Palace City.
They didn't want the public to know about this and cause unnecessary panic. They also didn't want the Fishman Street, which was already famous in the mud, to be discriminated against by the public because of people like Aaron.
After this incident, King Neptune also began to pay attention to the underdeveloped area of Fishman Street.
I originally thought it was just a "gathering place for bad guys", but I didn't expect that those bad guys in Fishman Street were so bold and tried to assassinate the royal family.
This was something King Neptune could not tolerate no matter what. He had already made up his mind to completely erase Fishman Street from Fishman Island. The better, it would be to transform it or relocate it. He was carefully considering how to deal with this illegal area.
In the following days, both Ryugu Castle and the New Navy were carrying out their finishing work.
Peacock wrote a report about all his experiences and encounters on this trip and gave it to Virgo. After combining all the facts, Virgo wrote a thick investigation report and submitted it to the headquarters.
At this point, their mission on this trip was completely completed.
As for Aaron and his minions, they will naturally be met with severe judgment.
This was the worst incident since the establishment of the new navy. The person in charge of military law in the headquarters was Mihawk, who was a strict person. Naturally, there was only one outcome for Arlong and others.
Just one day after Vergo's report was submitted, the military court of the headquarters issued a document to execute Aaron and others.
With Aaron and others being shot at the branch base, the other fishmen who had been acting in an unusual manner due to the closed environment were also greatly frightened.
It was not until now that the Fishman Navy finally realized that their identity was not only citizens of Fishman Island, but also a new navy.
If they did anything that violated military regulations, the headquarters only needed to issue a document to kill them. And this was justified, and the Dragon Palace City would not interfere at all.
“Gurgle—”
The port of Fishman Island, which had been closed for some time, was finally completely open. A red merchant ship nearly forty meters long slowly sailed away from the port after being coated.
After leaving the waters of Fishman Island, the merchant ship began to rise rapidly, and its speed was several times faster than that of the ordinary ships leaving Fishman Island.
In the dim cabin of the merchant ship, the dim candlelight lit up, illuminating the figure in front of the table.
"I'm sorry, the plan failed."
"Those idiots didn't make it. They were all caught."
A low and hoarse voice was heard in the dim cabin.
The figure in front of the table seemed to be talking to someone.
"Have you been exposed?"
There was a Den Den Mushi on the table, and a slightly old voice came from the other end of the Den Den Mushi.
"Probably not."
"We never personally directed those people to do anything."
“It’s just guidance.”
"Let them know that there are secret medicines hidden in the Dragon Palace. Let them know that mermaid slaves are very profitable. Let them know that Tsugikoku Yoriichi is a person with special abilities and cannot be contaminated by seawater."
"Everything else, they planned on their own."
"It is the ambitions of those fishmen that drive their actions. We are merely suppliers of the goods."
"Please rest assured about this."
The figure at the table seemed to be laughing, and his tone seemed a little light.
"Has the matter been thoroughly investigated?"
"Has the Sea King really appeared?!"
The person on the other end of the Den Den Mushi pondered for a long time and asked this question.
"Although there's no way to be 100% sure, it's pretty close."
"From what Vanderdecken IX said, I know that King Neptune's daughter, Princess Shirahoshi, seems to possess the power to summon and control sea kings."
"It seems their clan has been waiting for the arrival of that legend for generations, trying to seize the Sea King."
"I haven't personally confirmed whether Princess Shirahoshi has such ability, but the information should be correct."
A hoarse voice rang out in the dim cabin, and his words also made the other end of the phone fall silent.
After a long time, an old voice came from the Den Den Mushi:
"Whether it's confirmed or not, since there's a possibility that the Sea King has been born, let's completely eliminate this possibility!!"
As soon as the words fell, the Den Den Mushi's eyes slowly closed.
In the darkness, the figure who ended the call just stood up. He seemed to have noticed something, walked quickly to the window and looked out.
In the deep sea, where it was pitch dark, a strange sea king with half the body of a tiger and half the body of a fish swam slowly past the side of the merchant ship. Suddenly, the sea monster's blue eyes rolled and it actually locked onto the merchant ship with seastone on the bottom.
"Sea King? The ship is being targeted?!"
"Why!!!"
Just as this thought arose in the "merchant's" mind, the ship began to shake violently.
"boom--"
In just a moment, the bubble wrapped around the merchant ship was broken by the sea king, and the sea water instantly wrapped around the ship. The terrifying water pressure instantly crushed the merchant ship to pieces.
The sailors on the ship were exposed to the sea for just a moment and turned into pools of rotten flesh.
Suddenly, a figure darted out from the ruins of the merchant ship, shooting towards Fishman Island. His body seemed to be different from that of an ordinary person, capable of withstanding the terrifying pressure of the deep sea and even swimming freely in such a vast ocean.
However, although the figure swam very fast in the sea, it was not on the same dimension as the sea king.
The tiger-bodied sea king's deep pupils locked onto the figure swimming rapidly towards Fishman Island. It opened its mouth, and the terrifying ocean current pulled the figure back into its mouth.
In just a blink of an eye, the figure who had just swam a hundred meters disappeared into the beast's mouth.
The deep sea once again returned to its previous silence.
Driven by the ocean currents, the wreckage of ships and the remains of corpses converged towards the sea forest, becoming nutrients for the coral reefs there.
February 1512 in the Haiyuan calendar.
After nearly half a month of sailing, the Dawn warship has entered the waters around Egghead Island.
This is a winter island, and the climate in the surrounding waters is strange.
When the Dawn warship sailed in, hail was falling from the sky.
Hailstones the size of marbles fell from the sky, hitting the ship's planks with crackling sounds. The steel planks were pounded by the hailstones, and the new navy members huddled under the eaves of the cabin to avoid the hail.
On the observation deck, a young sailor held a telescope in his hand, looking at the vague shadow of the island in the distance, guiding the course for his colleagues in the cockpit.
Not long after, the cabin door was opened.
Jiguo Yuanyi walked out of the cabin and stopped under the eaves. He looked up at the dark sky and murmured:
"Why has the climate around Danjian Island become like this?"
"Vegapunk's climate weapon created a greenhouse for his island, but made the climate in the surrounding sea even worse?"
As he spoke, Jiguo Yuanyi slowly drew out a long sword from his waist. Amidst the astonished gazes of his subordinates, Jiguo Yuanyi suddenly turned the long sword over and slashed it towards the sky. A flash of sword light suddenly shot out into the air.
"Buzz—"
The low humming sound made everyone on the deck's heart skip a beat, and even their breathing was interrupted.
As the sword light blasted into the clouds, the thick dark clouds covering the sky above this sea area actually retreated to both sides at a speed visible to the naked eye.
In the sky, a "golden river" inexplicably appeared between the dark clouds. The sun appeared on the edge of the horizon, and the sunlight shone through the golden river, pouring down from the sky and illuminating the sea.
It was clear. The extreme weather was covered with dark clouds, but it was clear at this moment.
No. Only the sea area below the Jin River is clear. In other places, it is still hail-covered.
"hiss--"
A large proportion of the new navy on the Dawn warship are recruits. Every time Tsugikuni Yuichiro travels, he brings a lot of recruits with him, which not only meets his own travel needs but also serves as a training session.
The navy officers gasped when they saw the strange scene in the sky, and were shocked by Tsugikuni Yoriichi's methods.
Yuan Yi slashed out the clear sky with his sword. After putting away the sword, he looked at the island in the distance and slowly walked to the bow of the boat. His face was calm, and there was a hint of thought between his brows.
Although it was still a thousand meters away from the island, his observation Haki had already spanned the sea, covering the entire Egg Point Island.
After all, this is the territory of the World Government, and even Yunyi felt a little wary.
After Yuichiro's investigation, he sensed a lot of things.
For some unknown reason, Ji Guoyuanyi sensed many slightly familiar auras on this island. Although they were familiar, Ji Guoyuanyi could not identify the owners of those auras for a while.
Familiar, but the aura of those people in memory is very different.
In addition, the auras that attracted Yuichiro's attention all had one thing in common.
That is. The aura is very strong!
"call--"
At this moment, Yunyi noticed that something seemed to be approaching quickly. His expression froze slightly and he looked up.
In the distant sky, a dark shadow was rushing towards their ship.
The whistling sound was getting closer and closer, and the black shadow became clearer and clearer in Yunyi's eyes.
The moment he saw the shadow's face clearly, even with Tsugikoku Yoshiichi's temperament, his pupils shrank slightly, and he murmured in astonishment:
"Abel?!"
Of course, the black shadow was not Abel himself, who was under Yoriichi's command, but a child who looked 90% similar to Abel.
A head of white hair fluttered freely in the wind, a short and strong body, black wings spread out, and the figure was gliding quickly.
Little Abel held a long knife in his hand and looked like a handsome man with an expressionless face.
As little Abel appeared above the warship, he stopped suddenly and pulled out a long sword from behind him. Without saying a word, he swung a flying slash at the Dawn warship.
“?!”
Jiguo Yuanyi suddenly looked up and looked at the little Abel in the air. He didn't draw his sword, but the domineering aura on his body seemed to be real, and it shot directly towards the little Abel in the sky.
The flying slash that was flying towards the deck was actually shattered by the sudden outburst of domineering aura from Yoshikazu Tsugakuin.
The next moment, the domineering aura accurately bombarded the little Abel in the air. The latter rolled his eyes, spun, and fell from the air.
