Pirate: This Marine has two Rinnegan.

On the high platform, Chiga used the power of the Momo-Momo Fruit to amplify her and Hody Jones's voices, ensuring that their conversation could reach the ears of everyone in the plaza, especially Shirahoshi.

He looked at Hody Jones, who was already trapped in the illusion, and asked...

"Hody Jones, do you remember Princess Otohime?"

Upon hearing the name, Hody Jones slowly tilted his head, seemingly in thought, then nodded and said,

"I remember she once wanted to promote peaceful coexistence between the residents of Fishman Island and humans on the mainland."

"Hmm, what do you think of this idea?"

"Hmph, it's utterly ridiculous! Queen Otohime is a complete and utter fool! She's a traitor to Fish-Man Island, I hate her!"

Upon hearing Hody Jones's insulting words to Princess Otohime, the remaining ordinary people in the square were filled with anger.

Regardless of whether they agreed with Queen Otohime's ideas or not, they knew that Queen Otohime genuinely cared for the good of the entire Fishman Island.

And she wasn't just talking; she really went to great lengths to get things done, and in the end, she even lost her life because of it!

Therefore, the residents of Fishman Island all respected Queen Otohime, not only because of her status, but also because of her deeds!

If ordinary people who have no blood relation to Queen Otohime are like this, one can only imagine how badly Queen Otohime's own daughter, Shirahoshi, fared.

She lost her mother when she was six years old, but her memories of her mother are filled with her mother's face, which always seemed to have a gentle smile.

Furthermore, Shirahoshi knows that Hody Jones was the murderer of Princess Otohime, a fact she learned from the shark Mecaro.

Princess Otohime had said before her death, "Do not hate the murderer," so she kept the matter buried in her heart. But it would be a lie to say that she didn't hate Hody Jones at all.

Even after she made such concessions, Hody Jones remained aggressive, even verbally insulting Princess Otohime after her death.

The current Shirahoshi is not yet as old as the one in the anime, and her control over her emotions is even worse than it was back then.

Her emotions were so intense that they were filled with grief and resentment, which could be seen from her bloodshot eyes.

Chiga glanced at Shirahoshi with a knowing look, thinking to himself that the time was almost right, and all that was left was to light the final spark.

That's right, Chiga's goal is to use Hody Jones to stimulate Shirahoshi's awakening ability and summon a giant sea king.

Although this is somewhat cruel to Shirahoshi, it's better to end it quickly than to suffer for a long time. So let's take this opportunity to let her release her emotions.

Thinking of Shirahoshi's behavior in the anime, Chiga felt a little sorry for this poor little girl. Her mother's killer was right in front of her, yet she had to announce to everyone that she had forgiven him.

In his view, this was the cruelest thing to do to Bai Xing. Today, he was going to make Bai Xing understand how satisfying it would be to witness the death of her mother's killer.

He continued asking Hody Jones,

"Since you hate her so much, is Princess Otohime's death related to you?"

"Of course!"

Speaking of this, a strange, morbid smile appeared on Hody Jones's face, even though he was already under the illusion's spell, and his tone was indescribably smug.

"I assassinated her while she was collecting those damn signatures! This traitor died by my hand, and although the manner of her death was rather simple, it's enough. I am a hero of Fishman Island!!!"

Chapter 182 Giant Sea King

After Hody Jones finished speaking, Shirahoshi could no longer hold back; tears streamed down her face, and she roared,

"I won't allow you to talk about Mother like that! She is clearly great!"

Bai Xing's voice carried a peculiar fluctuation, seemingly some kind of signal.

Before long, nine terrifying figures appeared in the sky above Fishman Island. They were nine giant sea kings, each over five thousand meters long and with different appearances.

Nine giant sea kings surrounded Fishman Island, which looked like a slightly larger ball to them, as it was enveloped in a bubble membrane.

Their eyes were fixed on Shirahoshi, who was crying, through the paomo (a type of flatbread), as if waiting for her to calm down.

The people in the square were completely numb. The things they had experienced today were more and more outrageous than the last, and some of the weaker ones had even fainted.

King Neptune and Jin were serious. They knew that these giant sea kings had been summoned by Shirahoshi's cries, and that she had used this ability when she was six years old.

Kalifa and Ain recovered quickly after a brief shock, because they knew that with Chika there, these giant creatures were not so scary.

Chiga looked up at the nine giant sea kings in the sky and sighed slightly at their exaggerated size.

There was one more of these giant sea kings than in the anime, perhaps because Shirahoshi's emotional fluctuations were even stronger than in the anime.

After watching for a while, Qianhe withdrew his gaze, and with a thought, a huge Yama's face appeared behind him.

Having achieved his goal, Hody Jones was no longer of any value, and Chiga dispelled the illusion surrounding him.

Once he recovered, Hody Jones collapsed to the ground like a lump of mud, his blood staining the ground of the platform red. It was a miracle he had lasted this long.

Hody Jones struggled to lift his head, looking up at the giant sea monster in the sky, and murmured,

"It's that Shirahoshi again!"

His voice grew softer and softer; clearly, he was nearing death.

But Chika had no intention of letting him die so easily, and used her palm magic to temporarily stop the bleeding.

Hody Jones was baffled by Chiga's actions, but he wasn't naive enough to think that Chiga was being kind and was going to spare his life.

What happened next indeed confirmed his guess.

Suddenly, a terrifyingly large face appeared behind Qianhe, with eyes just like his own.

This was Chiga using the power of the Hell Path to summon Yama, who immediately opened his huge, black mouth upon appearing.

He grabbed Hody Jones and, to his horrified gaze, tossed him into the jaws of the King of Hell like trash.

After Hody Jones was thrown in by Chihiro, Yama immediately shut his mouth and began to chew vigorously.

For a moment, the sounds of Yama chewing and Hody Jones's screams echoed throughout the entire square, and even the giant sea kings in the sky couldn't help but turn their gazes toward Chiga.

Bai Xing, who was crying, stopped when she heard Hody Jones's scream. She looked up at the platform, sobbing, and found that Hody Jones had disappeared.

Chiga flashed and appeared in front of Shirahoshi.

His body floated up, and he reached out to wipe away the tears that remained on Bai Xing's face, speaking softly.

"Don't cry, Shirahoshi. I've sent Hody Jones to hell. Your mother's revenge is complete."

"Lord Chiga!!!"

Looking at Chika, Shirahoshi's tears, which she had managed to stop, welled up again. She grabbed Chika and burst into tears.

Chika put one arm around Shirahoshi's neck and gently patted her head with the other, continuing,

"You've endured a lot of hardship these past years, haven't you? It must have been cruel of you for Queen Otohime to ask you not to reveal the truth. I hope my actions will make you feel a little better."

Bai Xing didn't speak, but cried loudly, as if she wanted to release all the grievances she had held back over the years.

King Neptune stood silently beside the two. From Chiga's words, he learned that Shirahoshi had already known the truth about Queen Otohime's death.

Recalling White Star's experiences over the years, Neptune was already in tears.

The nine sea kings above Fishman Island were left there, feeling somewhat superfluous.

They wanted to leave, but they hadn't even exchanged a single word with the "King," so leaving like this wouldn't be appropriate.

One of the sea monsters, which resembled a pufferfish, couldn't help but let out a strange sound, a unique way for them to communicate with the "king".

"Your Majesty, is there anything else you need us to do?"

Hearing the Sea King's voice, Shirahoshi looked up in confusion and asked Chiga, "What are you saying?"

"Lord Chiga, have you heard any sounds?"

Chiga shook his head. He had noticed the voice coming from the giant sea king, but it was just a voice, and he didn't know what it was trying to convey.

Bai Xing looked up at the nine giant sea kings in the sky. These creatures, which would be terrifying to ordinary people, did not evoke any fear in her; instead, she felt unusually calm.

Chiga also looked up at the sky, and the nine sea kings noticed Chiga's presence.

They were already somewhat curious about the man being held in the "King's" arms, and now that Qianhe looked up, they immediately focused their attention on Qianhe's face.

They don't understand human aesthetics, so they don't have any particular feelings about Chiga's handsome face.

However, when they noticed Chiga's Rinnegan, their nine large faces surprisingly showed expressions of terror in a very human way.

The nine sea kings simultaneously lost their voices.

"These...these are the same eyes as that person's!?"

Although Chiga couldn't understand what they were saying, she could roughly guess from their expressions that they were behaving this way because they had seen her Rinnegan.

He asked Bai Xing,

"Shirahoshi, what are they saying?"

"They say Lord Chiga's eyes are the same as that person's."

"That person? Ask them who that person is."

"Ah."

Shirahoshi immediately relayed Chiga's question to the giant sea king in the sky, but the response she received was...

"Your Majesty, it is too early for you to know of that person's existence. We can only tell you that you would better stay away from the human in your arms, for he will lead this world to destruction!"

Upon hearing that these sea kings were telling her to stay away from Chiga, Shirahoshi immediately became displeased and shouted,

"What are you talking about?! Lord Chiga is not the kind of person you're describing, he's a good person!"

Chiga was given a "friend zone" card by Shirahoshi just like that, and the corner of his mouth twitched.

But after learning the contents of the Sea Kings' words from Shirahoshi, Chiga narrowed his eyes, his gaze locking onto the nine giant Sea Kings overhead, and a cold voice emanated from his mouth.

"They're just a few large animals. Aren't you being a little too arrogant?"

Chapter 183 Susanoo VS Giant Sea King

Chiga's Rinnegan locked onto the nine giant sea kings above, and he spoke without turning his head.

"Shirahoshi, tell them to tow Noah and pull Fishman Island to the surface."

Chiga originally wanted to do this himself, but since these readily available laborers have come and spoken rudely to him, he won't be able to leave without getting a good beating.

Shirahoshi immediately nodded and relayed Chiga's message to the nine giant sea kings above.

Unexpectedly, these giant sea monsters did not obey Bai Xing's command, but instead shook their enormous heads in unison.
