It's alright, Father!" Shirahoshi cried, shaking her head, finally revealing the secret she had kept hidden in her heart for many years.
The people around were in an uproar!
They didn't know what Princess Shirahoshi had said to King Neptune to make him burst into tears.
"Give the order! Fully pursue Hody Jones!" He beckoned a guard over and issued an inexplicable command.
"Lady Esdeath!"
"If you can provide refuge for our Fish-Man Island, I am willing to lead Fish-Man Island to the surface of the sea!" Not only for Otohime's wish, but also for the wishes of his ancestors, he would definitely try his best to persuade the people of Fish-Man Island!
"That's good. Since that's the case, consider this a gift. I'll take care of this Hody Jones!"
"If it's not too much trouble, Lady Esdeath, to capture Hody alive, I would be very grateful!" Since Esdeath was willing to help, things became much simpler.
As for the stolen potent medicine, he had completely forgotten about it. It was obvious the potent medicine had been stolen a long time ago; the box it was stored in was already covered in dust.
This matter was more important now!
"Leave it to me!" Things were truly going smoothly according to her plan. As long as Hody was dealt with, Shambles would have another island added to it.
"Shirahoshi, come with me again."
"Okay, Lady Esdeath!" Shirahoshi stopped crying and looked at Esdeath.
Ever since Lady Esdeath arrived, everything had gotten better. Not only were her troubles resolved, but even her mother's situation was about to be resolved!
"Depart!"
Sitting on those two enormous lumps again, Esdeath lay on top. This time, she didn't need oxygen bubbles, though she was still a bit short of breath.
"Lady Esdeath, then we…" Tina looked at the happy Esdeath and couldn't help but interrupt Tashigi, who was about to speak, shaking her head.
She hadn't seen Lady Esdeath so happy in a long time. During those six months, Lady Esdeath rarely smiled.
She had been constantly striving to improve her strength, and now she finally saw that long-lost smile again.
"I'll wait for you in Fish-Man Town!" Esdeath waved to Tina and the others, stating her destination.
...
"Where are we going, Lady Esdeath?" Shirahoshi floated above Fish-Man Island, looking down and smiling as she greeted people.
Many Fishmen looked up at Shirahoshi above their heads, feeling their hearts healed. Princess Shirahoshi was actually able to come out.
"Follow me!" Hody had once recruited him, or rather, Jinbe had worked for him, but he had just heard the words. It was Hody who killed Queen Otohime!
He could not forgive such a thing! Absolutely not!
Jinbe appeared in front of the two again, leading the way.
Fish-Man Town! The most chaotic place on the entire Fish-Man Island, mostly inhabited by a group of extreme Fishman supremacists who believed they were invincible!
"Jinbe!" Seeing Jinbe, many people bowed voluntarily, then looked greedily at Shirahoshi, and with disgust at Esdeath on her mount.
"Oh ho? I didn't expect there to be so many scumbag Fishmen?" Esdeath's voice rang out from her mount, and Jinbe beside her couldn't help but shake his head.
If Fish-Man Island were to rise to the surface, these Fishmen absolutely could not exist; they were completely detrimental to the relationship between humans and Fishmen!
"Lady Esdeath…" Shirahoshi looked at the somewhat dim Fish-Man Town, fearfully hugging Esdeath to her chest. This move almost caused Esdeath to perish before even achieving success!
It was too big!
"What did you say?"
"Don't think that just because Jinbe brought you, we won't dare to lay a hand on you!" Many Fishmen, hearing this, pulled out their weapons and glared menacingly at the embraced Esdeath, their eyes showing no fear whatsoever.
As for Jinbe, he was just a title. Their current leader was Hody! Hody Jones! The era of the Fish-Man Pirates was over! Now was the era of the New Fish-Man Pirates!
"You or me?" She turned to look at Jinbe, who was hesitating. They were just some small fry; she was too lazy to act. Although she was short of oxygen now, she was very comfortable.
How to put it… Very nice! As expected of Princess Shirahoshi!
"I'll do it!" Hearing Esdeath's words, Jinbe still made his decision. If Esdeath were to act, who knew how many would survive.
"For your own good, please lie down here first!"
"Fishman Karate — Arabesque Tile…"
"Water Shot!" Swish, swish, swish! Countless streams of water attacked.
"Straight Punch!" The Arabesque Tile Straight Punch and the water streams collided, emitting a violent sound, instantly sending the armed Fishmen around flying.
"Ice Wall!" A transparent block of ice appeared in front of Shirahoshi, blocking the incoming shockwave.
"Gyahahaha!"
"Jinbe, have you betrayed the Fishmen?" Wearing a red cardigan, holding a trident, and with a wolf fur scarf wrapped around his neck, Hody Jones made his appearance. Behind him were the other members of the New Fish-Man Pirates.
A group of Fishmen appeared and directly surrounded the entire Fish-Man Town, making it impenetrable.
At a glance, there were at least tens of thousands of them. Hody had not yet developed to the scale of his future ten thousand Fishmen force.
"Oh ho, my perception was indeed correct!" Esdeath scanned the area. As soon as she entered Fish-Man Town, she felt countless life signatures, but they were just a bunch of small fry.
"Hody!" Jinbe glared furiously at the suddenly appearing Hody Jones!
"This is bad!" The overwhelming number of Fishmen surrounded Fish-Man Town, and Neptune and the others, who were close behind, quickly rushed over.
Neptune was secretly anxious.
When did such a massive number of Fishmen form? As the king of Fish-Man Island, he had absolutely no idea! This was his dereliction of duty as king!
"Lady Esdeath!" Tina and the others also grew tense, even starting to use Soru to rush, wanting to immediately go and support Esdeath.
"Gyahahaha!" Hody, standing high in Fish-Man Town, became even more excited when he saw Neptune and the others rushing over!
He had originally planned for a few more years, but now the plan was moved up! This was an opportunity not to be missed!
There might not be such a good chance for Neptune to be isolated again!
"Lady Esdeath!" Shirahoshi scanned the surroundings, feigning strength as she hugged Esdeath to her chest and whispered, "I'll swim upwards in a bit, and Lady Esdeath, you take the opportunity to escape!"
"Jinbe! How can you fight against my tens of thousands of men?" His expression was arrogant and unrestrained, as if everything was already within his grasp!
Whoosh! Six figures flashed out, instantly appearing beneath Shirahoshi.
"We're late, Lady Esdeath!" Tina, Carina, Domino, Ain, Tashigi, and Sadie! Facing tens of thousands of people, they showed no fear at all!
