After retiring from the Navy, I became a doting husband.

Martin looked at the silent Neptune and thought of Shirahoshi, the Sea King who could control Sea Kings.

The Fish-Men are likely a product of that vanished, great race. Their existence was solely for the purpose of controlling and managing the Sea Kings, and Fish-Man Island is the office of this governing body. The underwater passage connecting to the New World was originally intended for the Sea Kings, but after the World Government sealed off the passage to the Red Line, some organizations at odds with the World Government were forced to use it to reach the New World.

Martin, unsure if the Neptune family, as royalty of Fish-Man Island, had any records, asked, "Your Majesty Neptune, does Fish-Man Island have its own history?"

“No, I’ve never seen any of these things in my memory. They’ve just been passed down from generation to generation, telling us to protect Noah and wait for Joy Boy to fulfill his promise one day,” Neptune said, shaking his head.

“That’s such a pity. You should have a place to pass on your history,” Martin said with a sigh. But it’s strange, it seems like no one in this world records history; everything becomes a legend.

"By the way, the reason I came to Fishman Island is to inquire about a legendary ship called Hades, which sank on Fishman Island about 800 years ago."

Martin asked.

Neptune fell silent immediately upon hearing this, and after a moment he said, "Mr. Martin, please come with me!"

Chapter 201 Discovering Hades, Slaying the Bear

Deep within the Sea Forest.

There are countless ancient shipwrecks here.

One of the wreckages, hidden deep within, is particularly striking.

"This is the ship you're looking for. It's called the Black Ship, a legendary devil's ship."

"This ship sank 800 years ago and is now in ruins."

Neptune looked at the massive wreckage of the ship ahead and said, "No one dares to approach this legendary black ship now."

Martin nodded and scanned the large ship in front of him with his Observation Haki.

"It shouldn't be wrong, this ship should be the legendary Hades."

"I never imagined the damage would be so severe; the entire ship was almost broken in two."

Martin went closer to take a look.

The remains of Hades were enormous, as large as a mountain. However, the mountain was completely destroyed, and only the general shape of the ship and the mouth of a giant cannon could be vaguely seen standing upright.

"It is made entirely of metal and will hardly rust."

Martin nodded slightly, his expression serious.

Hades, one of the three great weapons of ancient times, was made of pure metal.

It's unbelievable that technology was so advanced 800 years ago.

It's clear that Hades suffered a severe blow.

The steel body was severely damaged and split in two. What kind of force was that?

Martin narrowed his eyes, his expression uncertain.

The world of One Piece is truly unfathomable.

It's astonishing that Hades, one of the three ancient weapons, has been damaged so badly.

The pure metal Hades was destroyed by something unknown.

“Let’s go, Mr. Martin, let’s return to the banquet,” Neptune said, standing up.

Neptune brought Martin back to Geroncaard Square, but the situation there was not good. Sea King soldiers were lying haphazardly on the ground, and many civilians had also been knocked down.

Neptune quickly stepped forward, picked up a Sea King soldier, and asked, "Are you alright? What happened here?"

"Your Majesty, you're finally back. More pirates have just arrived. They're incredibly strong; we were no match for them. They rescued all the pirates we captured. I'm so sorry, Your Majesty, we failed to keep a close watch on those pirates."

The soldier fainted again after he finished speaking.

"Someone! Someone! What are you waiting for, Right Minister? Quick, quick, come to the rescue!" Neptune shouted to the Right Minister and the Sea King's army behind him.

“But Your Majesty, your safety is at stake,” the Right Minister said with difficulty.

"What are you all standing there for! Saving lives is the priority!" Neptune roared.

“It is Your Majesty.” The Right Minister, seeing Neptune’s anger, quickly began to examine the injuries of the fishmen on the ground.

Neptune watched as his Right Minister and guards began to busy themselves, but these few men were far from enough for the wounded in the square.

Seeing this, Neptune took out a Den Den Mushi from his person, and a few seconds later the call connected: "Minister of the Left, quickly bring people to Jilongkaode Square. This place has been attacked by pirates, and many people are injured and need medical treatment."

Martin silently watched Neptune's busy work, then took out his Den Den Mushi from his pocket: "Bonnar, this is Martin. Have Henry come with the Left Minister to Geroncord Square. There are many injured people here who need his medical attention."

“Understood, Captain. I’ll go tell Henry right away,” Bonal said, hanging up the phone.

After finishing the call, Martin jumped onto Neptune's shoulder to comfort him, "Your Majesty, don't worry. I just sensed them, and they've just fainted. They're not in any danger."

“Your Excellency Martin, how dare you stand on His Majesty’s shoulders,” the Right Minister said immediately upon seeing Martin jump onto Neptune’s shoulders, feeling it was disrespectful to his Majesty.

“Alright, Minister of the Right, don’t worry about that. His Excellency Martin had something important to tell me, which is why he jumped up. The size difference between us is too great.” Neptune stopped the Minister of the Right.

“But Your Majesty, you are, after all, the King of Fishman Island,” the Right Minister added.

“What king am I? I can’t even protect the safety of my people. What right do I have to be king?” Neptune said with heartache as he looked at the wounded scattered on the ground.

"Wife, wife, where are you? Where did you go?" A fishman woke up and shouted loudly in the square. He and his wife had just been watching the Sea King's army deal with the pirates, which they found very satisfying, when suddenly a group of vicious pirates rushed in, and he was knocked unconscious.

As the fishman cried out, more and more fishmen awoke, calling out to search for their families; some had lost their wives, some their children, and so on...

Cries echoed throughout Kuala Lumpur Square as people realized their loved ones might have been captured by pirates.

“Damn it, who did our Fishman Island offend? Why are my people suffering like this?” Neptune said helplessly.

Although the fish-men on Fishman Island are ten times stronger than ordinary people, the pirates who have made it here are all those who have survived the trials and tribulations of the Grand Line. They are all quite capable and cannot be dealt with by ordinary fish-men.

Normally, with the protection of the sea, pirates can't steal from the fish-men, but this time, too many people gathered in Jilong Kao De Square, allowing these pirates to wipe them out in one fell swoop.

Martin looked at the remorseful Neptune and said, "Your Majesty, there's no need to worry. I think the captured fish-men are not in danger. Those pirates just want to exchange the fish-men for Berries. As long as we block the exits and stop them, we'll be fine."

“Yes, that’s right, Mr. Martin. I’ll arrange for the port to be blockaded immediately.” Neptune said, picking up a Den Den Mushi and making a call.

"What am I going to do? What am I going to do?" Neptune kept exclaiming after finishing the phone call.

"What's wrong, Your Majesty? What happened?" Martin asked hurriedly.

“The port guards at Fishman Island just said that several pirate ships broke through the port and rushed out of Fishman Island. I wonder if any of my compatriots are on those ships,” Neptune said worriedly.

"When was that?" Martin asked.

“Just now, when I called, they were intercepting those pirates,” Neptune replied.

“I understand,” Martin said, taking out a Den Den Mushi.

"Bonnar, go find the princes and have the Harem set sail immediately to chase after the pirate ship that just set sail. Bring them back to me," Martin said to the Den Den Mushi.

"Yes, Captain, I'll go right away."

"Your Majesty, could you please call your prince and have him cooperate with my men to retrieve those pirate ships?" Martin said to Neptune after finishing his call with Bonal.

“No problem, Mr. Martin, but can your ship catch up with those pirates?” Neptune said, taking out a Den Den Mushi.

"Don't worry, my ship is the fastest in the world. There's nothing it can't catch," Martin said confidently.

“That’s good. I’ve already had the port sealed off, so none of the other pirates can escape. I’m just worried that my men might not be able to defeat them. Could you please ask Lord Martin for help?” Neptune said.

“No problem, it is the duty of us warriors to help the weak and punish the strong.” Martin agreed without hesitation. In his view, Neptune was a good ruler who loved his people like his own children.

Outside Fishman Island.

"Haha, Captain Burst Bear, this is truly a great harvest!" a pirate said, raising his wine glass to his captain.

"Haha, it seems the title of Pirate King is mine for the taking. Heaven is really on my side. With these fish-men and so many pirates joining us, we'll be invincible in the New World. Hahaha, gulp gulp gulp." The bear-like pirate captain finished speaking, raised his wine glass, and drank and ate heartily, truly enjoying life to the fullest.

He is this year's supernova, a Zoan-type Bear-Bear Fruit user, a pirate with a bounty of 250 million Berries, and is considered a powerful kid even in the New World.

When he first arrived at Fishman Island, he was still worried about how to survive in the new world.

Because he was a Devil Fruit user, he didn't want to offend the fish-men. He never expected that watching the commotion at Jilongkaode Square would yield so many gains. Thousands of pirates agreed to join him, and these fish-men should be able to be traded for a lot of supplies in the New World. With money and manpower, what was there to be afraid of? Thinking of this, his smile deepened.

"Captain, Captain, something terrible has happened!" At that moment, one of his men ran over and shouted.

"Damn it, what's wrong with you? How dare you ruin my mood? You don't want to live anymore!" Explosive Bear cursed.

"Captain, something terrible has happened! A monster is chasing us from behind."

"Monster!" Upon hearing his subordinate's words, Explosive Bear staggered toward the stern of the ship. He had drunk too much and was feeling quite tipsy.

"call!"

The bear's eyes widened, thinking it was some kind of monster; the speed at which it was approaching made it seem like a ship.

What kind of ship is so fast?

Could it be a sea king?

"Quick, turn the helm quickly and get away from this monster!" Explosive Bear shouted to the helmsman.

Although it was wrapped in bubble wrap, it turned without any problems.

Just as Burst Bear's pirate ship turned around, the giant monster appeared right in front of him. Through the glass, Burst Bear saw several fishmen looking at his pirate ship.

"Not a sea king."

Seeing that it wasn't a Sea King, Explosive Bear breathed a sigh of relief. He was confident he could beat the fishman with his limited strength. This ship was pretty good; it didn't even need a membrane, and it was so fast. The fishman was a good comrade, giving people money and now a ship.

"Boom! Boom! Boom!"

A passageway extended from the Harem ship directly into the Bear's ship. The passageway door opened, and the three Neptune brothers and Bonar and the others walked out.

Looking at the wary group of Explosive Bear, Shark Star spoke up: "I am Shark Star, the eldest prince of Fishman Island. I suspect you are illegally capturing fishermen, and I hope you will cooperate with the inspection."

“Prince of Fishman Island, this is a good thing, it might fetch a good price,” Explosive Bear said without any attempt to hide his feelings.

"It seems that it was you who defeated the Sea King Army and captured the fishmen at Jilongkaode Square," Shark Star said angrily after hearing what Explosive Bear said.

"That's right, I did it. You'll be one of them soon, hahaha!" Explosive Bear said arrogantly.

"Damn it, release my comrades!" Shark Star said as he attacked Explosive Bear, confident in his strength.

"Oh!"

Seeing the incoming fist, the bear also swung his own fist to meet it. Since eating the bear-bear fruit, he had not met a match in terms of strength.

"bump!"

Shark Star was knocked back by a punch from the Exploding Bear and crashed directly onto the deck of the pirate ship.
