One Piece: Fist of the World.

Chapter 198 The Explosion in Fishman Street
In the Fishman Cafe.

"Mr. Luo, do they have anything else to do?"

Looking through the window of the cafe at the people who left directly, Kosa looked at Gray in confusion.

"maybe."

Gray put down his coffee.

Mermaids are no different from humans, except that they have fish tails.

From a biological point of view, they should belong to the same race as humans, and there is no reproductive isolation.

After watching it, his curiosity was satisfied and Gray no longer had much interest in the mermaid girl.

Compared to these beautiful women, he was more interested in another thing he had heard before.

"You just said that there is an ancient giant ship near Fishman Island?"

Gray looked at the mermaid girl in front of him.

"What kind of ship is it?"

"how to say···"

The mermaid girl put her finger against her lips, showing her girlish cuteness.

However, the remaining few people in front of him didn’t get it at all.

Kosha was thinking about what exactly Luo and his men were going to do, since he had clearly not heard Captain Rhodes’ instructions before;
Weber was more concerned about when they could leave and enter the legendary sea to face all kinds of enemies;

As for Genos, he was teasing Sissi and didn't even look at the mermaids.

Gray, the only one paying attention to her, was only interested in the answer she gave.

"Noah has always kept that ship in Fishman Street. It is the legendary Ship of the Oath, but no one knows what its specific function is. After all, it happened hundreds of years ago."

“The only thing we know is that Noah is huge!”

"Very big? How big can it be?"

Gray took a slow sip of the coffee in his cup.

"Probably, it's half the size of Fishman Island."

puff--

A rainbow spurted out of the coffee in Gray's mouth, and he looked at the mermaid in front of him in disbelief.

"How big?"

As a scientist, and a scientist who has always wanted to build a super battleship that surpasses the ancient weapon "Pluto", Gray is also an expert in shipbuilding. Especially after communicating with Franky in the Water Seven City, the exposure to many concepts made him feel that his shipbuilding level has improved a lot.

But precisely because he knew so much, he felt incredible about what came out of the mermaid's mouth.

Fishman Island is an island that can accommodate 500 million people. Even on the Grand Line, it is definitely a relatively large island.

And that giant ship named "Noah" is actually half the size of Fishman Island?

How much manpower and material resources would be needed, and how much time would be needed to complete the construction of such a huge ship?

Moreover, what kind of materials and technologies are needed to support the construction of such a giant ship and ensure that such a large hull will not collapse.

"real or fake?"

Kosa also looked at the mermaid sister in confusion.

It sounds like this giant ship named "Noah" has existed for hundreds of years. What happened hundreds of years ago that made the people of Fishman Island build such a giant ship? And what was the reason that caused this giant ship to sink to the bottom of the sea?

I think Robin would be very interested in this.

Robin's face flashed through Kosha's mind. If she were there, he would probably be able to analyze more.

"Of course it's true. Noah is located in Fishman Street."

The mermaid looked at Gray and the others strangely.

This group of people is so strange. They are completely different from the humans I have seen before. They don’t like delicious food or beautiful women. Instead, they are interested in giant ships like the "Noah".

"I'm interested, let's go check it out together!"

Gray stood up and greeted his companions in front of him.

"Let's go."

Genos picked up Sissi and followed Gray.

He also wanted to see what the so-called giant ship looked like.

···
Fishman Street

This is the most chaotic place in the Ryugu Kingdom of Fishman Island, an area comparable to the lawless area of ​​the Sabaody Archipelago.

"Is that a ship?"

Peikin looked into the distance and saw a huge shadow lying on the deep seabed, which looked like a ship.

It's just a little too big.

"By the way, what are we looking for here?"

Xia Qi looked at Luo.

This place was completely different from the Coral Hill where they were before. Even the air seemed to be filled with a dark atmosphere. Just by standing in this place, one could feel that a deep malice seemed to be eroding them.

In the dark corner of Fishman Street, pairs of malicious eyes looked at Rhodes and his group of four.

"Find someone."

Luo looked around the environment and understood a little about what Rhodes said.

If you live in such a place for a long time, it is not surprising that your heart becomes dark and deep.

The ruling class here only saw the glamorous Fishman Island, but overlooked one thing.

Where there is light, there is darkness.

The brighter everything you see is, the deeper the darkness behind it.

Luo recalled what Rhodes had told him about Princess Otohime.

It was precisely because of the inaction of the royal family, as the rulers, that they failed to eliminate the darkness of Fishman Street, and instead allowed sin and hatred to continue to grow in the darkness. In the end, the evil consequences caused by the sin and hatred came upon the princess.

A hint of enlightenment also arose in Luo's heart.

What happened on this Fishman Island is just a microcosm of the world. There must be many similar things happening in various parts of the world. Perhaps at this very second, the same tragedy is happening.

A ruler who does nothing, a ruler who only cares about his own interests, a ruler who only cares about pleasure...

He had witnessed the fate of these people. Without exception, rulers who abandoned the people would eventually be abandoned by the people.

Just as what the Rod Pirates wanted to do!
Their goal is to seize world hegemony.

And after successfully seizing hegemony over the world, if they become the people they hate now, perhaps someone else will appear and take hegemony away from them.

"So, who are we looking for?"

Xia Qi patted Luo on the shoulder. He didn't know why he suddenly became a little dull after arriving at this place. His eyes were dull and he didn't know what he was thinking.

"Hoddy Jones, a Great White Shark Terran."

Luo told several partners about their goal.

"He should be quite famous in Fishman Street. I'm afraid we will be able to find him soon."

"Any other features?"

"Maybe it's the curly hair, and the fierce look."

Luo said uncertainly, thinking back to the information Rhodes had told him.

Rhodes himself wasn't very sure when describing the other person's appearance. He just said that the other person probably looked like this, and should be quite famous in Murloc Street, so he would probably be easy to find.

"Um, is this the person you are talking about?"

Brook pointed at a fishman standing not far in front of them.

This was a tall, ferocious-looking male murloc holding a trident. Beside him stood numerous murlocs. From the depths of the Murloc Street, figures were slowly approaching. Unknowingly, Luo and his companions were surrounded by the enemy.

"Are you looking for me? Human!"

The leading fishman looked at Luo and his group with a ferocious look. How dare a mere human set foot on Fishman Street!

"Are you Hodie Jones?"

Luo raised his eyebrows slightly and looked at the fishman in front of him.

I didn’t expect it to be so smooth and we found each other right away.

The undisguised malice emanating from the other party seemed to be about to overflow.

"It's coming towards me."

Hodie Jones looked at the humans in front of him.

I haven't seen any bounty warrants for them, so they should be just some unknown small pirates. Although I don't know why they came to find me, as long as I break all their limbs, they will surely tell me everything quickly and neatly.

"Human beings are low-level creatures and should be exterminated from this world!"

Hodie Jones raised his arms, looked at his fellow men around him, and spoke loudly.

"My friends, humans have been oppressing us and enslaving us. It's not enough to make us hide in Fishman Island. They even want to get their hands on our last pure land, Fishman Street."

"Let us work together to tear apart these humans who have invaded our territory!"

Following Hodi Jones's inspiring voice, the surrounding fishmen's eyes lit up with fierceness, and they rushed towards the four people including Luo who were surrounded in the center.

“It’s very strange though.”

Pekin clenched his fists.

"But we are not the kind of nice guys who will just sit there and surrender."

Xia Qi's body swelled up, and terrifying power compressed inside his body.

"My sword is not bad either."

Brook gripped his staff sword.

Luo looked at Hodi Jones not far away. This fishman exuded a deep darkness, even worse than his former self.

After escaping from the White Town, Luo once had the idea of ​​destroying the entire world. At that time, his whole body exuded deep darkness.

However, even at that time, the darkness deep in my heart was far less than that of the fishman in front of me.

The other party seemed to be the embodiment of hatred and darkness.

Boom! ! !
As one murloc after another rushed up, a red light bloomed in Pei Jin's palm, Xia Qi's body suddenly swelled, and then a violent roar broke out instantly, like a huge rock thrown into a deep lake, instantly detonating Murloc Street.

···
Fishman Island, in the square.

Naylu glanced around.

This place is very spacious and has a broad view. With Nelu's eyesight, he can see the entire island in all directions just by standing in this square.

Especially things coming in from outside, everything can be seen clearly.

"I say, Nalu, why did we come here?"

Bepo followed Nayru and looked at him in confusion.

Pekin and the others went to see the mermaid, Nia and the others went shopping, and Rhodes and the others went to look for the so-called historical texts.

Only he was dragged by Nerlu to the empty square, staring at the sky, not knowing what he was waiting for.

"I have an important mission."

Nelu looked at Bepo, a flash of lightning flashed across his fingertips, and his observation Haki combined with the electric waves completely covered the entire island.

In this way, no matter where the attack comes from, he can discover it at the first time.

“Is our important task to keep an eye on the sky?”

Bepo looked up at the sky like Neru, but saw nothing but floating white clouds.

"Hey, someone's coming over, are you just waiting for them?"

In Bepo's sight, there appeared something like a ship floating in the sky.

As the object in his sight got closer and closer, Bepo could see clearly that it was a gondola towed by an unknown fish. However, both the fish and the gondola were covered with a layer of bubble film, which was the reason why they could fly in the sky.

"You guys are members of the Rod Pirates, right?"

In Bepo's sight, the gothic carriage stopped in front of them. A tall and thin male mermaid got off the gothic carriage, floated in front of Nelu and Bepo, and spoke with a smile.

"I've seen your pictures at Boss Jinbei's place."

As if noticing Bepo's confusion, the male mermaid looked at them and explained.

"I'm Huangxing, the second prince of Ryugu Castle. Father has arranged a dinner for you. Originally, Boss Jinbei was going to take you there. Since we meet here, why don't you let me take you to Ryugu Castle first?"

"prince!"

Bepo looked at the prince in front of him, and then looked at Nelu.

"Thank you, Second Prince Huangxing, but I have an important matter that I have not yet completed."

"matter?"

Huangxing looked at Nelu strangely.

"But, it seems to me that you guys are just standing here staring at the sky."

"coming!"

There was a flash of red in Nayru's eyes.

"What···?"

Before Huang Xing finished asking the question, he saw Nelu in front of him suddenly turned into a ball of lightning and disappeared from his sight in an instant.

"Prince Huangxing, there are weapons!"

The soldier following Huang Xing suddenly pointed to the sky.

A huge axe appeared from somewhere and flew towards Ryugu City.

"Eh? Wait, where are the weapons?"

The soldier only felt a flash before his eyes, and the weapon that was originally flying towards Ryugu City suddenly disappeared from his sight.

"Is this what you are talking about?"

Nelu's voice rang in his ears. The Second Prince of the Royal Star, who had been looking towards the Dragon Palace City because of the soldier's words, turned his head again and saw that Nelu, who had disappeared as lightning, had reappeared at some point, and there was a weapon in his hand.

Wait...weapons?

"This is it!"

The soldier who had just discovered the weapon pointed at the weapon in Nelu's hand. He had just clearly seen this weapon flying towards Ryugu City, so how come it suddenly appeared in the hands of this human.

Huangxing looked at Nelu in shock.

Before he discovered the weapon, this man had already discovered the weapon flying towards Ryugu City and intercepted it in an instant.

If it's this man, he might be able to catch the guy who has been harassing Shirahoshi!

"you···!"

Huangxing looked at Neilu, and before he could say anything, Neilu responded to him with a smile.

"no problem!"

"I heard that the princess of Fishman Island had to hide in the Hard Shell Tower because of the harassment from the pirate Vandi Deiken. She couldn't even see the outside world."

"As you saw just now, my speed is pretty good, so I think if possible, I might be able to capture Vandidecken hiding in the dark, so that the mermaid princess can move freely on Fishman Island."

Nai Lu smiled and looked at the Second Prince of the Royal Star in front of him.

“Thank you so much!”

The Second Prince of Huangxing looked at Neilu with gratitude.

After their mother's death, their sister Shirahoshi became the most precious relative to the three brothers. However, due to their own incompetence, they have not yet caught Vandidecken, allowing Shirahoshi to move freely outside the Hard Shell Tower.

No matter whether the other party can successfully capture Van Didecken, as long as they have this intention, I will be very grateful!
The members of the Lods Pirates are worthy of being chosen by Boss Jinbe and entertained by a banquet hosted by the Emperor himself!
