Chapter 282 Thunder Island

"Third brother, watch out!!"

As Shark Star roared, he thrust his trident forward, blocking Tos's massive warhammer that was hurtling towards the Overturning Star with a loud bang.

Although he successfully blocked the attack, Shark Star's hand was still aching and his arm was trembling slightly.

He glared at the white-haired, red-eyed, and ferocious-looking Toth before him, and muttered hatefully, "Damn it! What's wrong with these guys? What did they eat?!"

Earlier in the battle, he noticed that Tos's strength was gradually weakening. He thought he could defeat his opponent quickly, but unexpectedly, the opponent pulled a cloth bag from his waist and ate the red thing inside.

Then he noticed that the other party's muscles swelled, his aura became even more ferocious, and his weakened power was restored, even becoming stronger than before.

This utterly illogical scene filled him with both shock and anger. What on earth had this guy eaten to cause such a change in him?

While he could barely hold his own against Tos, his second brother, Huangxing, was struggling against the elusive Jeo.

Although Geo's strength is relatively weak among the New Fishman Pirates, he has a unique ability: he can change his body color to blend into his environment and become invisible.

Because of his ability, Huang Xing almost suffered a great loss before, and was almost successfully ambushed by him. To avoid being ambushed, Huang Xing had to keep changing his position by wrapping his neck with chains, but he could not escape far away, because if he did, Jieo would no longer pay attention to him and would go to ambush Shark Star Overturning Star, who was fighting with Tos.

Huang Xing kept sprinting and accelerating within a small area. This kind of action was extremely exhausting for him. Before long, he was panting heavily and could no longer maintain it.

While he remained in place to recover his strength, he kept scanning his surroundings, his body tense and his face full of vigilance, trying to find any trace of Jeo.

No matter how he looked, all he could see was seawater. It was as if he had become one with the seawater, and he couldn't tell where the other person was at all.

Just as he was being wary of his surroundings, out of his sight, a pair of eyes emerged from the seawater, their eyes filled with cunning.

Hmph, this time, I won't let you escape again.

Jeo thought to himself with great confidence.

He drifted towards Huangxing with the ocean current, making it impossible for Huangxing to determine his location by the waves of the sea.

His iron chain was hidden in his sleeve, ready to be fired. He was just waiting for the right moment to lasso Huang Xing's neck and capture him in one fell swoop.

Just as he drifted with the ocean current to about three meters behind Huang Xing, he finally moved.

A gleaming iron chain shot out from the sleeve, swift as a meteor and moving like thunder, its target aimed directly at Huang Xing's neck.

Huang Xing was completely unaware that he was about to be bound by chains and captured by Jie Ou.

At this critical moment, a crescent-shaped slash wave suddenly shot from behind, like blue lightning tearing through the ocean, and struck Jeo, who was still invisible, with precision.

"Aaaaaah!!!"

A bloodcurdling scream suddenly rang out.

Jeo loosened the chains, spread his fingers wide, and stiffly tried to touch his back.

On his back, a bloody wound started from his right shoulder, slashed diagonally down to his left waist, blood spurting out and flesh torn apart, giving the impression of great pain.

Upon hearing the noise behind him, Huang Xing turned around abruptly and immediately saw the iron chain right in front of him, which startled him so much that he broke out in a cold sweat.

"Thank you, thank you, you saved my life."

Seeing the miserable state of Jeo, and then seeing Sanji behind Jeo, Huangxing immediately understood what had happened and said gratefully.

Sanji couldn't speak because he was holding his breath, so he just nodded, pointed to the battlefield on Shark Planet, and swam over there.

He originally intended to help Goku bring Namur back to the ship, but since Goku had Pupu's help and Namur had Scolari's help, he changed his goal and came here to help the three princes.

With his help, Huangxing successfully won over Jeo.

Just as he was preparing to help Shark Star defeat Tos, before he could even make a move, the battle situation suddenly took an unexpected turn.

The once incredibly strong and terrifyingly powerful Toss suddenly became like an empty sack, his bulging muscles shriveling and contracting, his power draining away like a water sack with a hole.

"Damn it! Power! I need power!"

Having lost his power, Tos pulled off the cloth bag at his waist, wanting to continue consuming the poison to regain his strength, only to find that the bag was already empty; he had consumed all the poison earlier.

"Relying solely on external forces won't work; your crooked methods must end here."

Shark Star said coldly, then stepped forward with Overturn Star and successfully subdued the helpless Tos.

Thus, Hody Jones and his gang, who had attempted to rebel and seize power, were all apprehended, and the danger was finally averted.

Because of this incident, Shark Star and the others could no longer accompany Shirahoshi to visit the Sea Forest as originally planned. Shirahoshi was also sensible enough to know this, and instead of making a fuss and crying like a little girl who couldn't get candy, she reasonably said that she would tell her father about what happened here immediately.

After leaving Huangxing, Fanchexing, and a squad of guards to keep watch, Shark Star and Wukong immediately returned to Dragon Palace and told Neptune what had happened.

When Neptune heard that Hody Jones and his companions had experienced a surge in power after consuming a strange drug, he gasped in shock, wondering if it was the deadly drug E.S. that had been stolen from Ryugu Palace many years ago.

Knowing the gravity of the situation, he immediately dispatched the royal army to completely seal off Fishman Street.

What followed was the capture of the new Fishman Pirates led by Hody Jones, and the extraction of the whole truth from them.

Then, Neptune finally decided to clean up Fishman Street, this den of iniquity.

These things had nothing to do with Goku and his friends anymore. While Neptune was busy reforming Fishman Town, Goku and his friends happily ate and drank every day, taking Shirahoshi to explore Fishman Island and visiting the Sea Forest, which they hadn't been able to visit before, as well as other unique places.

During his stroll, he came to Mermaid Bay, a place inhabited by mermaids. When he saw many beautiful mermaids of different appearances and stunning beauty, Sanji was so excited that he couldn't contain himself and shouted tremblingly and wildly, "This is the ALLBLUE I've been looking for!!!"

Then he threw himself into the arms of the beautiful mermaid.

Nami was able to enter the treasure vault of the Dragon Palace as she wished, and saw an incredibly rich treasure.

However, when she finally saw the treasures of the Dragon Palace, she was somewhat disappointed. Although the treasures here were abundant, reaching a level unimaginable to ordinary people, compared to the mountains of gold on the Sky Island, the treasures here paled in comparison.

Although somewhat disappointed, she was still in a good mood because she was able to choose three items from the treasures. It was like a windfall, making her overjoyed.

After enjoying themselves for a week, Wukong and his companions finally decided to set sail again.

Are you leaving?

Inside the Dragon Palace, Shirahoshi looked at Goku and his companions with teary eyes and a face full of reluctance.

This week has been the happiest time of her life in recent years. All the depression and frustration of the past have been washed away by happiness. She is extremely reluctant to see her new friends, Goku and Nami, leave so soon.

"Yes, we have to go now, Shirahoshi. We'll have a chance to meet again in the future."

Among Goku and his friends, Nami was the one who had the best relationship with Shirahoshi. She looked at Shirahoshi with a smile, but there was also some reluctance in her eyes.

Although they didn't have any urgent missions and could stay here a little longer, what would be the point? They would still feel reluctant to part ways when the time came.

So leave now, so that if you stay any longer and your feelings deepen, leaving will be even more painful.

"Yes, yes! We will definitely meet again. I hope we can meet on land next time." Shirahoshi sniffed and said very seriously.

"Of course! It definitely will!"

Nami knows that Shirahoshi really wants to go to land and see the scenery on land, which is different from the seabed. Although it seems difficult to do now, she firmly believes that one day it will be possible.

"When you see the white-bearded man, please give him my regards."

Meanwhile, Neptune was talking to Namur.

Namull will stay on Goku's ship until they deliver him to the Whitebeard Pirates.

Namur was seriously injured a week ago, but after a week of recuperation, he has now basically recovered and shows no signs of weakness.

"Hmm," Namur responded only, appearing even more taciturn than before.

Although the murderer who killed Uncle Mack has been caught and sentenced to death, the fact that Uncle Mack is gone is a heavy blow to him.

"Hey, it's not your fault. Take it easy. Come back to visit your hometown more often when you have the chance." Neptune understood Namuel's feelings and gently patted Namuel's shoulder.

Soon, Goku and his crew left Fishman Island with Neptune and the others seeing them off, officially setting off for the second half of the Grand Line.

After a harrowing journey through the underwater tunnel that pierces the Red Line, they finally arrive at the other side of the Red Line and step into a new world known for its dangers.

"The magnetic field here is indeed more complex."

Nami raised her arm, and the recording pointer on her arm no longer had only one pointer, but a total of three.

The three recording pointers are arranged in a triangle, each constantly swaying and pointing in different directions, indicating that there are three targets to choose from.

"Let me see which direction our destination is in."

Nami took out a Life Paper from her chest with her other hand, then placed it in her palm to check the direction it was drifting.

This Life Paper was given to them by Rayleigh. After learning by chance that Goku and the others wanted to go to Zou, Rayleigh took out a Life Paper, claiming that it belonged to an old friend and could guide Goku and the others to Zou.

Wukong and his friends were naturally overjoyed.

You see, although they wanted to go to Zou, they had never had any direction. They only knew that Zou was in the latter half of the Grand Line, but they had no idea how to get there.

Rayleigh's help was like a light in the darkness, giving them a clear direction.

They also learned from Rayleigh that the Mink tribe living on Zou was actually a very friendly group of people towards humans, and that the rumors of them hating humans were completely unfounded.

However, when they asked Rayleigh why Zou was an island so elusive and difficult to find, Rayleigh, contrary to his usual behavior, did not give them the answer. He simply smiled mysteriously and said that the truth would come out once they found Zou.

"Hmm... Is Zou in that direction?"

Nami nodded after observing the direction the Life Paper was drifting, and then compared it with the direction of the recording pointer.

"Everyone, look, Zou is in that direction. If we want to get there as quickly as possible, we should definitely sail in that direction. But Zou moves, and we don't know if we can get there before our supplies run out. So I think we should find an island to rest and replenish our supplies before we go after Zou. What do you think?"

After hearing Nami's explanation, Goku and the others nodded: "No problem, let's arrange it that way."

"Okay, how about we go to this place? This place is closer to Zou, so we don't need to take too many detours." Nami then pointed to one of the Log Pose that was pointing in a direction close to that of the Life Paper.

"I'll do whatever you say, Nami."

No one had any objections, after all, Nami was their navigator, and it was best for Nami to decide which route to take.

Namur and Scolari, who were temporarily staying on their ship, had no objections. They were in no hurry to return to the Whitebeard Pirates and would not urge Goku and the others to send them back as soon as possible.

"Hehe, then that's our first target in the new world!" Nami said with a big smile, one hand on her hip and the other pointing ahead.

Half a day later, an island appeared before them. To their surprise, dark clouds covered the sky above the island, and the oppressive atmosphere was palpable even from a distance.

In addition, they saw deep purple lightning darting wildly in the depths of the dark clouds, with continuous bolts of lightning striking the island randomly without any gaps.

The thunder roared and echoed in all directions, lingering for a long time. The entire island seemed to be subjected to endless punishment from the heavens, making people's hearts pound and their scalps tingle.

"What, what's going on with that island?!" Sanji's eyes widened, his face filled with astonishment.

"What kind of place is this? Did I choose the wrong place?" Nami's lips twitched, and for the first time, she began to doubt her choice.

With her there, they, including the ship, weren't afraid of being struck by lightning. But the problem was, they came here to replenish their supplies. Looking at this island, which looked like a ghost filled with an aura of destruction, how could anyone possibly live on it?!

"This is Thor Island."

Namur, who had been silent all along, suddenly spoke.

"Thunder Island? That's a fitting name." Robin smiled slightly, appearing quite calm.

"Have you been here before?" Nami asked.

"Hmm." Namur nodded slightly, then continued, "This place is constantly shrouded in lightning, making it an extremely dangerous island. To land on it, you'll need to purchase specially made insulated umbrellas on the island."

"An insulated umbrella?" Nami paused, then suddenly realized a crucial point: "Wait! Buy it? You mean this island is inhabited?"

"Yes, although the population is small, there is indeed a small town here, and most of the people in the town are merchants who sell insulated umbrellas."

Upon hearing the answer, Nami's eyes lit up, and she breathed a sigh of relief.

She smiled and snapped her fingers: "It's good that someone lives here, then we should be able to replenish our supplies here!"
