After imprisoning Neptune and the other royal family members, Hody led the New Fish-Man Pirates to successfully capture Shirahoshi from the palace, and announced that he would execute Neptune and the others in Fish-Man Plaza today.
"So, that's how it happened?"
A man wearing a Marine Justice coat looked at the Fishman on the ground, who bore the mark of the New Fish-Man Pirates.
"Yes. How dare I deceive you, sir?" Not daring to meet Renji's gaze, the Fishman trembled with fear.
"Emm, it's early again? But if I calculate the time, it's about right, just a matter of convenience." Renji smiled.
A few minutes ago, he had already arrived at Fish-Man Island riding Surume.
Now, a large number of New Fish-Man Pirates and many residents of Fish-Man Island have gathered in Fish-Man Plaza.
After Hody ordered the public execution of the old kingdom's remnants, he commanded the New Fish-Man Pirates to coerce the residents of Fish-Man Island to come and witness Neptune's execution and his, Hody Jones', coronation ceremony.
In the plaza, Neptune and other royal family members were chained to a high platform, while Hody and his New Fish-Man Pirates' executives toasted with fine wine, savoring the fruits of victory.
To restrain Mermaid Princess Shirahoshi, whose size was even more greater than Neptune's, Hody used even larger chains to firmly bind her.
Several executives of the New Fish-Man Pirates were opening champagne.
Dosun praised, "Captain, this throne is simply tailor-made for you."
Zeo nodded. "Indeed."
Daruma said, "After today, our New Fish-Man Pirates will be famous worldwide."
—
"Princess Shirahoshi."
"Princess Shirahoshi has also been captured. These hateful villains."
"Why are they doing this? Aren't we all Fishmwn?"
Under Hody's tyranny, the residents of Fish-Man Island only dared to whisper.
Shyarly, the prophet of Fish-Man Island, frowned at this. "What's going on? My prophecy said that the Straw Hat guy would bring destruction to Fish-Man Island. But now it seems that these New Fish-Man Pirates are also going to bring a huge disaster to Fish-Man Island."
"Hody! You ignorant bastard! Release us immediately!" The first prince, Fukaboshi, bound to a pillar and covered in wounds, said with an angry expression.
"Heh heh! You useless bunch. After I kill you all, the first thing the New Fish-Man Island will do under my leadership is to break free from Big Mom's rule." Hody said with an arrogant look, swirling the red wine in his glass.
As soon as these words fell, Neptune's expression instantly changed drastically. "Are you mad? Hody! Do you know how terrifying Big Mom is!? Even if you kill us, you must never provoke such a person."
Looking at Neptune, whose face changed drastically because of Big Mom, Hody was even more disdainful.
"A mere Four Emperors, I can destroy them with one blow."
Daruma took the opportunity to flatter, "Well said, Captain. Under your leadership, we will definitely dominate the world."
"Wahahaha! Of course, I am the strongest." Hody laughed wildly.
Seeing that the plaza was already full and everyone had arrived, Hody was about to order the execution to begin, but suddenly he saw a figure appear before him at some unknown time.
"I'll give you one chance. Release the people of Ryugu Kingdom, and then disappear from my sight." Renji said with a slight smile and a calm tone.
"This uniform... Marine?" Hody's expression turned grim.
He hadn't even noticed when this guy jad appeared before him.
The other executives of the New Fish-Man Pirates were also startled, then defiantly said, "Hey! Where did you come from? How dare you speak to our Captain like that? Do you have a death wish?"
"A mere Marine, a lowly, dirty human, dares to interfere in our Fishman affairs and dares to speak to me like that. We'll chop him into pieces and throw him into the sea later."
After a brief moment of surprise, Hody's expression returned to normal. He ignored Renji and prepared to give his order.
[Ding! Detecting Host's current situation, you have a new selection!]
[Choice One: Faced with the rebellion in the Ryugu Kingdom of Fish-Man Island, you, the righteous one, choose to suppress it and rescue King Neptune and others!]
[Reward: 20000 Bounty points]
[Choice Two: Faced with Hody Jones' foul mouth, you, who value civilized etiquette, cannot stand such filth and choose to tear Hody Jones' mouth apart!]
[Reward: Crooked Mouth Corrector (Lv. 1)]
[Choice Three: You feel deep sorrow over the downfall of such an incompetent king, choose to stand by, and recommend Hody Jones to buy good medicine at a Health Pharmacy!]
[Reward: Super Power Pill * 100]
Listening to the other party's recent remarks, Renji had already confirmed that these New Fish-Man Pirates were even more arrogant and ignorant than he remembered. Besides, with the low reward of only 20000 Bounty points, it was clear that they didn't have much power.
But there were so many Fishmen. If he remembered correctly, weren't there a hundred thousand New Fish-Man Pirates' grunts?
"I already gave you a chance." Renji sneered.
The next second, to the shocked gazes of all the Fishmen, Renji appeared directly in front of Hody, his coat fluttering in the wind behind him, and one hand grabbed the latter's mouth.
Under Hody's terrified gaze, intense pain came from his mouth, and then with a "Rip!" sound, the previously arrogant Hody instantly became disfigured.
Neptune and the others, tied to the pillars, showed horror at this sight. Hody, whom even they couldn't defeat, had his mouth torn apart by this Marine in just one encounter.
Looking at the military rank insignia on Renji's shoulder, a great doubt began to well up in Neptune's heart.
Could this guy be an Admiral? But why does he look so young? And since when did Marine dare to attack the territory of the Four Emperors?
Looking at the disheveled Hody, Neptune's face immediately lit up with joy. Regardless, solving Hody meant he was a great benefactor to Ryugu Kingdom.
The other grunts of the New Fish-Man Pirates exclaimed in surprise, "Captain Hody!"
"He actually tore Captain Hody's mouth apart!"
"I didn't even see his movements just now! So strong!"
"Ugh... Ahhhhh..."
Under intense pain, Hody clutched his bleeding mouth, his eyeballs bloodshot, his face filled with shock and anger.
"It seems you're even weaker than I imagined." Renji shook his hand.
With the enhancement of Infinity, Hody's bloodstains did not touch his palm, but he was still quite disgusted by it.
"Attack! How dare he attack Captain Hody! Kill this guy!"
"We have a hundred thousand people! Several special forces! How can you fight us alone!"
Looking at the surging executives and countless Fishmen pirates, Renji simply extended his palm.
Unnoticed by anyone, a blue light lit up in the sky above Fish-Man Plaza, and then, under Renji's Cursed Energy output, it suddenly expanded, transforming into a giant blue orb.
Cursed Technique Lapse: Blue, activated!
The blue orb spun into a whirlwind, erupting with terrifying gravitational force.
"What is it?!"
"Is it an earthquake?"
"No! Look at the sky! What is that thing?!"
Under the horrified gazes of all the Fishmen, the ground was torn apart by this gravitational force. As the strong winds surged, countless grunts of the New Fish-Man Pirates were swept into it, and those few executives who charged the furthest also could not escape.
A few seconds later, the hundred-thousand-strong New Fish-Man Pirates were completely wiped out.
In New World, Whole Cake Island.
"Mama, it's bad. Marine has attacked Fish-Man Island."
