One Piece: Fist of the World.

Chapter 199 Nai Lu in Action

"So, is this all we can do?"

On the Phoenix Tail Car, Huangxing looked at Neilu.

Is it possible to find Van Didecken just by driving the Phoenix Car outside Fishman Island?

You know, the legend about Vandie Decken has been circulating in Fishman Island for hundreds of years, and until now no one knows his true appearance.

Although this member of the Lodo Pirates, who was highly praised by Jinbe, had just demonstrated extraordinary speed and reaction, could he really find the opponent with just this?

"I heard that attacks on Princess Shirahoshi with weapons like this happen many times every day, right?"

Instead of answering Huang Xing's question directly, Nei Lu started asking questions.

"Yes!"

Huang Xing gritted his teeth when talking about the other party's behavior.

"That Vandidecken only sent some love letters to Shirahoshi at first, but after being rejected, he started throwing weapons at Ryugu Castle, and the frequency of throwing became higher and higher. Until now, he throws all kinds of messy weapons at Ryugu Castle several times a day!"

"Because of him, Shirahoshi can only hide in the Hard Shell Tower and has not seen the outside world for five years!"

The cutest sister had to hide in a hard-shell tower for years without seeing the sun because of an enemy she could never even see. Such a life was too painful for such a young child!
So the three brothers patrolled Fishman Island all year round, hoping to discover the enemy's whereabouts, bring him to justice, and allow Shirahoshi to live a normal life.

But, we haven’t been able to catch the other party yet.

As far as my brother is concerned, they are such a failure!
"Then let's wait a little."

The gondola was wrapped in a layer of bubbles, and several tamed oarfish were pulling the gondola in front, floating in the dark seabed. Under the sunlight transmitted from the Sun Tree Eve, Neru was waiting quietly.

He used the observation Haki combined with the electric waves of the Thunder Fruit without reservation to sense from afar.

When the axe appeared before, Neru first noticed it at this location.

The opponent's fruit ability is the [Target Target Fruit], which can make the thrown objects fly towards the marked [target].

However, this kind of flight also has a trajectory.

Except for the initial throw, the projectile may have an initial direction of movement due to the force applied by the thrower himself or external forces from other directions.

However, after that, the thrown objects should fly directly towards Ryugu Castle in a straight line!
Then, as long as we capture the trajectory of the weapon thrown by the opponent again and trace it along the trajectory, we will be able to find the opponent's position!
"coming!"

At the farthest point in the range covered by Neru's observation Haki, he caught a glimpse of a flying weapon. From Neru's perception, the weapon was flying along a straight line towards Ryugu Castle.

"This is the direction, full speed ahead!"

Naylu pointed forward.

The next moment, Huangxing directly grabbed Neru and Bepo. Its strong and powerful fish tail swam quickly in the water, carrying the two people at an extremely terrifying speed in the direction pointed by Neru.

Mermaids are the fastest swimming race in the world. Even the fish in the deep sea cannot swim as fast as them.

Huangxing, the second prince of Ryugu City, has a swimming speed far exceeding that of ordinary mermaids.

'So fast! '

Nelu looked at the rapidly receding scene in front of him, and in his mind, the importance of the mermaids increased a little.

With the underwater combat capabilities of the mermaids and murlocs, ordinary humans simply have no ability to fight against them underwater.

If they could hold such a force in their hands, coupled with the power of the legendary "Sea King", the Rod Pirates would undoubtedly be the strongest naval force in the world!

Therefore, we must catch the user of the Target Target Fruit no matter what and gain the friendship of Ryugugu Castle!

As Huangxing was swimming at high speed, a giant axe flew past his side. This discovery made Huangxing even more excited.

In the past, they had tried to find the enemy in this way, but the enemy knew this and would change location after each throw.

They once followed the direction from which the weapons were thrown, but they did not find any trace of the enemy until they reached the surface of the sea.

However, this time Huangxing saw hope of successfully capturing the other party!
Mr. Neru was able to detect the presence of a weapon before it came into sight, which undoubtedly reduced the time it took Van Didecken to change position.

He has been avoiding Longgongcheng's pursuit for so many years, and he must be very familiar with Longgongcheng's action patterns and speed. Now with the help of Mr. Neilu, Longgongcheng's action speed and reaction speed have been greatly improved, and the opponent may not have time to change position.

Huang Xing's mind flashed through his sister's adorable face.

Now you can finally move freely, Shirahoshi!!
"From what I can tell, the speed of the weapon is increasing."

'According to the information provided by Rhode, Van Didecken's own strength is not outstanding, and the initial strength and speed he applied to the weapon can be basically ignored.'

"My observation Haki covers a range of about 6000 meters at most. Based on the speed and acceleration of the weapon I sensed twice just now, combined with the distance the weapon moved, the place where the opponent threw the weapon should be about 30 kilometers away from us."

As a professional sniper, Neru has roughly calculated the opponent's current position based on the weapons thrown by the opponent.

If it was on the ground, with the power of the Thunder Fruit, Neru would probably have caught the other party by now.

However, this is the deep sea, and as a user with special abilities, he must cover his body with a layer of bubbles in order to move freely, and he cannot use his elemental abilities at all.

However, the current situation is still advantageous for them.

"The weapon's flying speed is about 80 kilometers per hour. So, the opponent should have thrown the weapon 20 minutes ago."

"And Huang Xing can swim at a speed of about 300 kilometers per hour with the two of us, so it will take about 6 minutes to get there!"

"That means the opponent has 26 minutes to act and change position."

'If we calculate the trajectory of the two weapon throws we just saw.'

In Nelu's mind, he constructed a 3D model and calculated rapidly.

'The place where the other party threw the weapon is about 40 kilometers away from Ryugu Castle. According to the flight speed of the weapon, taking into account the initial acceleration, it will take about 35 to 40 minutes.'

"And if Ryugu Castle were to go out, it would take at least 6 minutes to reach the opponent's location just now."

'It only took about 40 minutes in total. In such a long time, Van Dijkken would have disappeared somewhere.'

'In the sea, he can move in any direction, and it is difficult for Ryugu Castle to catch him.'

Of course, the most important point is that Nelu doubts whether the people in Longgong City have the ability like him to calculate these data and analyze the approximate location of Vandidecken.

Judging from what I have come across so far, they don't seem to be at that level.

However, this is also good news.

This means that Van Dijkken is unlikely to reach this level.

But even so, catching Van Didecken is only a probabilistic event. After all, the opponent has nearly 30 minutes to change position, and Neru's role is only to shorten his action time by more than ten minutes.

However, what Neru possesses is not only the super-wide range of observation Haki or the super-fast speed.

He is not fighting alone.

Before he took action, he had already obtained the "good luck" bestowed by Bakara, so he was able to encounter the Royal Star just by standing in the square.

And in the following actions, the "good luck" bestowed by Bakara will also bless him.

"Stop!"

Neru suddenly stopped the Royal Star, which was the approximate area where Vandidecken was located according to his previous calculations.

And, as expected, he found some signs of movement on the seabed, which confirmed his guess.

What we need to do now is to choose a direction to pursue.

"Go this way."

Following a feeling from somewhere, Nelu raised his hand and pointed in a direction. Huangxing led Nelu and Bepo to move quickly.

"Stop, and go that direction again."

"Wait, go over there."

Following that mysterious feeling, Neru changed direction several times.

"Otherwise, let's go back and discuss it later."

Huangxing looked at Nelu.

"You are already very good. This is the first time I have discovered traces of Vandidecken's actions so quickly."

As expected, they had no ability to calculate Vandiedecken's approximate location from the weapons he threw.

Nalu thought silently in his heart.

"It's just that our action this time was too sudden and we were not prepared. As long as we can bring more people and follow the route you gave, we will definitely be able to catch the enemy!"

Huangxing looked at Neilu with admiration.

"No, we can catch each other this time!"

A smile suddenly flashed across Naylu's face, and he slowly shook his head.

His observation Haki once again captured the weapon flying towards Ryugu Castle.

"I think I know where he is."

"Sure enough, the goddess of luck blesses us."

"This way!"

There was a flash of excitement in Huangxing's eyes, and he rushed forward with Nelu and Bepo. Soon, a huge figure appeared in their sight.

"This is···!!"

Bepo looked in front of him in shock.

A huge man who looked like a sea monster was walking on the seabed. In his hand, he was holding a rope, which was like a balloon, holding a boat floating on the seabed.

"So huge!"

The other party was even larger than the giants they had seen in the small garden before, and it was just like a legendary sea monster.

"Finally found you, Van Didecken!!"

Huang Xing looked at the pirate ship being towed in the distance. That was the legendary pirate ship, [The Flying Dutchman]!
"Ok?"

On the pirate ship, a man wearing a top hat raised his head.

He had curly hair, a moustache, and many necklaces.

"Second uncle!!"

Seeing the mermaid in front of him, Van Didecken's eyes widened in shock.

People from Longgong City actually showed up!
"You bastard!"

Hearing the other party's call, Huang Xing was instantly enraged. He drew out the two swords on his back, swung his fish tail violently, and rushed towards the other party quickly.

"Watatsumi, defeat him!"

Seeing the other party rushing over, Van Didecken no longer cared about his "second brother-in-law" and quickly gave orders to Watatsumi to take action.

With his own strength, he is probably no match for Huang Xing.

"Oh well."

The huge bald sea monster suddenly opened its palms and grabbed towards the Imperial Star. Despite its huge size, it had an extremely fast speed.

"Really? Don't pretend I don't exist."

Nelu watched as Huangxing struggled to hold off the bald sea monster's attack.

The difference in body size is the difference in strength.

For most people, this is an unbridgeable gap.

But the so-called vast majority of people definitely does not include Neru.

Neylu put his hands together and then opened them. In his palms, a thunder spear emitting blue light appeared.

Because it was in the deep sea, the power of thunder was restrained by Neru and turned into a spear of thunder instead of being dissipated indiscriminately.

The next moment, with Neru's throwing, the Thunder Spear instantly hit the bald sea monster.

"What is this? It's so numb!"

Watatsumi stared blankly at the Thunder Spear stuck in his chest, and felt a tingling sensation coming from his chest as this thing pierced his body.

The next moment, a dazzling blue light flashed, and an intense feeling of numbness instantly spread throughout the body, causing Watatsumi's eyes to turn white and he collapsed to the ground.

"What···"

Before Vandidecken had time to be surprised by what happened to Watatsumi, a thunder spear of the same style pierced his chest.

Under Neru's control, the power of the Thunder Spear was greatly reduced, and it only made him faint instead of being instantly killed by lightning.

"Although I'm not on land, at least I still have some fighting power."

The lightning in Nayru's palm dissipated, and Bepo shook his hair.

Standing next to Nelu, he was inevitably affected by the lightning.

However, ever since he was electrocuted on Sky Island and then became the user of the Thunder Fruit, and frequently discharged electricity to train his abilities, Bepo, who had been stimulated by electric currents several times, felt that some strange changes seemed to have taken place in his body.

I always feel that I seem to have some inexplicable connection with thunder and lightning.

"Thank you so much!"

Watching the battle end in an instant, Huangxing was stunned for a moment, then swam over and looked at Nelu, his tone full of gratitude.

"You have solved a major problem for us. We can finally let Shirahoshi go out and see the scenery freely. You and the Rod Pirates are our friends forever!"

"Too polite."

Naylu waved his hand nonchalantly.

"However, even if Van Didecken is captured and his abilities are removed, your sister will only enter Fishman Island from the Hard Shell Tower. Compared to this world, it is just like entering a slightly larger cage from a smaller cage."

"No, not only your sister, but all of you have been trapped in Fishman Island by invisible weapons, and have never been able to see the scenery outside for the rest of your lives."

Carrying the gratitude for having just solved a major problem for Fishman Island, Nelu looked directly at the prince of Ryugugu Castle in front of him.

"Don't you want to change the current situation?"

Looking at the changing expressions on the other person's face, Neru increased the stakes again.

"As far as I know, your late mother, Princess Otohime, has always wanted the residents of Fishman Island to move to the mainland so that everyone can see the scenery outside of Fishman Island and truly integrate into this world."

"Don't you want to see this kind of future for your mother?"
