Luffy, how can you become the Pirate King if you don't work hard!

"From this day forward, this is my kingdom, my world!" he laughed loudly.

“This country will not be under your control,” Neptune shouted.

Ok?

"You don't really think that cowardly princess who ran away is useful, do you? As long as you guys are in my hands, Shirahoshi won't get far." Hody grinned sinisterly, walked up to Neptune, and punched him in the stomach.

boom!

Pfft!

Neptune, already covered in wounds, coughed up blood and weakly lifted his eyelids to stare coldly at him.

Hody and his kin, blinded by hatred, have no future.

"Hahaha, that look in your eyes is truly pathetic,"

Hody said, "Look at this kingdom you've been ruling, it's a failure. Only I am the future of Fishman Island!"

"The so-called Great Knights are old, just like Whitebeard in the New World. You are nothing but remnants of the old era!"

The storms of the New World have swept in, and only the New Fishman Pirates can stand at the top of the world.

"Hahaha, Great Knight, let me make you happy. I'm telling you, your daughter Shirahoshi has indeed been rescued by those despicable pirates."

"White Star".

Neptune's mouth dropped open.

He dedicated his entire life to fulfilling Princess Otohime's dying wish: to grant the fish-men and mermaids of the Ryugu Kingdom the right to migrate to the land.

He made countless efforts for this, but he only felt indebted to his only daughter.

Because of the incredible abilities Shirahoshi displayed in her childhood, she was targeted by pirates. In order to protect her and Fishman Island, Neptune had no choice but to imprison her in the Hard Shell Tower for ten years.

Unexpectedly, his wife's dying wish was not fulfilled; instead, a rebellion broke out in the country.

Seeing Neptune's expression, Hody's smile grew even more arrogant.

Yes, it feels so good to have the king become your prisoner!

There was a time when he had to bow to this old man and address him as His Majesty.

What now?

You can hit or curse whenever you want.

"Alright, now for the bad news,"

Hody laughed arrogantly, "The public execution of the Neptune family begins now!"

He lowered his voice and chuckled, "Do you think she'll come running to us after hearing the news?"

"you!"

Neptune's eyes widened in fury.

"Hahaha!!"

This is exactly the effect I wanted!

As if he had been suppressing his feelings for a long time and finally had a chance to release them, Hody turned around and declared,

"From this day forward, the history of the Neptune royal family will cease to exist!"

"Soon, I will behead the Neptune family in the square. It's time for Fishman Island to begin a new chapter."

Hody raised his large knife, and a commotion erupted on the cliff.

Many of the mermaid women covered their mouths, tears welling up in their eyes.

"Princess Shirahoshi, if you want your father to live, bring me the straw hat's head. Hmph, don't delude yourself into thinking a pirate can save you."

His expression was fierce, his gaze sweeping across the crowd. "You too, a bunch of fools who dream of living under the protection of pirates. We are fish-men! We don't need humans! Human flags can't protect Fish-Man Island; only our own strength can protect us!"

"From this moment forward! I am the new king of Fishman Island. If you want to save their lives, Princess Shirahoshi will have to obediently return and become my queen. Otherwise, you can just wait to see their heads roll!"

"Hey, boss."

An official nearby whispered a reminder, "Wasn't it said that White Star was to be handed over to Vankendade IX?"

"You actually believe that kind of talk? How could Shirahoshi possibly be entrusted to such an idiot?"

Hody glanced at him with displeasure. "That was just to use their strength to attack the palace. He's no longer of any use."

Vankendade IX?

Hody never took that Target-Target Fruit user, who only knew how to hide in the shadows and throw things, seriously.

Once I rule Fishman Island, the first thing I'll do is get rid of that kind of trash.

Although he has lost all his officers, he still has 90,000 troops!

So what if the Straw Hat Pirates are the Emperor of the Sea?

Even if you punch them one by one, it would take 90,000 blows, and he'd be exhausted to death.

Not to mention, he still has hostages!

......

"Little, Little Hachi, is Hody talking about Luffy and his crew?"

In the crowd, Kemi covered her mouth and looked at the fishman Xiao Ba, who was hiding himself behind a hoodie.

Two years ago in the Sabaody Archipelago, Camie and Hachi formed a bond with the Straw Hat crew. Luffy and his crew not only rescued Camie from being kidnapped, but also clashed with the Celestial Dragons, triggering a major incident.

They were supposed to guide Luffy and his crew two years later, but what happened back home has changed everything.

Camie and Hachi originally wanted to go to the Sabaody Archipelago to wait for Luffy, but they were trapped on Fishman Island due to Hody's rebellion.

But hearing Hody's words, Kemi's hope was rekindled.

"For example, if it were Luffy and his crew, they could definitely defeat Hody and his crew." Hachi nodded vigorously beside him.

He was a fish-man, and should have stood on the side of his own kind.

But he couldn't agree with Hordy's approach at all.

This is not liberating the murlocs at all, but dragging everyone into the abyss.

Soon, Kemi and Hachi saw it.

"Is that Princess Shirahoshi's pet?!"

"There seems to be someone up there?"

The surrounding mermaids all looked up.

A gigantic shark-like sea monster was seen swimming rapidly down from the upper waters of Fishman Island, breaking through the bubble membrane and swooping towards the plaza.

That was Megalo, Shirahoshi's pet, and on its broad back stood three figures.

"That's really bold! Fire!"

When Hody saw this, he grinned maliciously.

He didn't care how many people came; if they were enemies, he would just open fire!

He has 90,000 troops. Even if Straw Hat Luffy is strong, how many can he kill?

"shooting!"

Upon receiving the order, thousands of fishmen around the square simultaneously raised their guns and cannons, unleashing a formidable barrage of firepower.

Bang bang bang!

Gunshots rang out like popping beans, and bullets rained down on Megalo like a storm.

"There are really a lot of people here."

Lu Fei glanced down and saw that the plaza was completely surrounded by swarms of merman soldiers, and the cliff was also packed with people.

In the center of the square, he could clearly see Neptune and the three princes chained to the stone pillars.

Luffy grinned and said, "Shark, just charge forward."

Megalo, Shirahoshi's pet, glanced at the dense hail of bullets ahead and charged forward with a heavy heart.

Anyone facing so much firepower would instinctively feel fear.

But it soon discovered that none of the bullets and shells could hit it!

Because Luffy blocked them all.

Rubber, a dominant force!

The shockwave swept away, and the shells exploded into dazzling sparks in the air.

Megalo's shouts were almost arrogant, a perfect example of someone trying to intimidate others by taking advantage of someone else's power.

"Is that Princess Shirahoshi?"

Who is next to her?

"Are they pirates? Are they here to rescue the king?"

The mermaids were unaware of what had happened, but many breathed a sigh of relief upon seeing Princess Shirahoshi appear safely.

Luffy's displayed strength gave them hope.

However, the fishmen of the New Fishman Pirates suffered.

Shirahoshi's pet charged straight into the enemy's heartland, and the enormous Shirahoshi undoubtedly became a target, but all the attacks were easily neutralized by the man wearing a straw hat.

"All you can do is use guns and cannons?" Luffy glanced at him.

Unless someone is at the level of Usopp's father, capable of destroying a warship with a single shot, guns and cannons alone are not very effective against strong individuals; in fact, they are practically useless.

"Arrogant, so arrogant! Straw Hat Luffy!"

Hody glared at Luffy and said menacingly, "He's just a mere pirate!"

What he disliked most were these pirates.

Even Jinbe, whose own brother was killed by pirates, still gets along so well with humans and even uses the name of a pirate to protect Fishman Island.

This is something Hordy cannot accept at all.
