The King Fishman named Icarus Mushi couldn't wait and asked, "Muhehehe! We can't let Ah Long-senpai's revenge go unfulfilled. Should we gather all the brothers and besiege them now?"
Hody didn't answer immediately. Instead, he turned and walked back to the sofa, picked up a piece of Fierce Medicine ES from the table, and toyed with it at his fingertips.
"No rush."
He smiled coldly, "To be safe, let's wait until they leave Fishman Island and enter the Deep Sea. Don't underestimate that guy. Isn't his new title quite intimidating—something like the World's No.1 Sword Master... Hmph, ridiculous, just a mere human, daring to carry such a title."
"Kaka! Exactly, exactly!"
The Cigar Dharma Sharkman Officer named Dharma squatted on the table and shouted, "Inferior races just love to boast. Don't even compare him to Hody-brother. He hasn't even asked our Fishman Race's first swordsman, Hyouzou, yet!"
"I'm just taking money to do your work, kids." The drunken Hyouzou burped, "Don't presume I'm one of your subordinates. I have no interest in competing for such a title."
"Suit yourself."
Hody sneered, "Anyway, Shano is mine. I must personally sever his head. No one else should interfere. But, isn't there a famous Female Swordsman under him? I'll leave her to you, Hyouzou."
"As long as the pay is good."
Hyouzou took another swig of liquor, muttering, "But bullying a human, especially a woman, just doesn't seem interesting..."
"But it can bring fame, can't it?"
A deep voice rang out, and a Whiskered Shark Fishman covered in stripes appeared on the once-empty sofa, speaking slowly:
"Kill that Shano, and then resolve all their subordinates. Those willing to surrender and serve as our cannon fodder can stay. Those unwilling, send them to join our captain. This way, we can expand our strength, and the New Fishman Pirate Crew's fame can spread worldwide from then on."
"Exactly, Jieou!"
Hody grinned widely, "This way, maybe we can even advance our plan. We won't need to cooperate with that ghost in the Deep Sea. Our fame alone could recruit numerous subordinates. Then, we overthrow Neptune's Army, set sail on the ocean, and trample all the lowly humans worldwide beneath us!"
Boom!
At that moment, a loud noise!
The entire wall was shattered by a massive force. Amidst the rising dust, a towering, burly figure slowly walked in.
"So this is Fishman Street?"
The newcomer sighed, "What a complicated place. It can produce renowned men like Fisher Tiger and Sea Hero Jinbe and also creatures like you who hide in the shadows, never having seen the world yet love daydreaming like clowns."
"Who!"
"Who goes there?!"
The assembled officers turned pale with rage, drawing their weapons and aiming at the direction of the broken wall.
Hody also raised an eyebrow, slowly turning his head to look.
As the dust settled, all the officers thought the newcomer was human, but to their surprise, it turned out to be a fishman standing before them.
"Hey, what's going on... you're clearly a fellow fishman, yet you serve human pirates?" Hody's gaze turned cold.
"More stupid talk. I wondered who was plotting against Shano-boss, but it turns out to be you bunch of scum."
Jack wasn't interested in conversing, his expression remaining indifferent as he gestured for the fishmen to come at him with his finger, "Seems like this small matter doesn't need to trouble the boss. He's definitely not interested in playing games with you guys. Come on, all of you, at once."
"Arrogant fool, seeking death!"
Icarus Mushi roared in anger, charging first, his dozens of tentacle-like arms swinging blades down at him.
"Get lost."
Jack didn't even glance at him, casually slapping him aside.
Bam——!
Icarus Mushi's body was instantly sent flying, slamming hard into the wall. Blood spattered everywhere, and he turned to a pile of flesh without even having the time to scream.
