One Piece: Rayquaza of the Beasts Pirates

"I'm joining! Once I join the Beasts Pirates, let's see who dares to bully me then!"

"Don't be naive! Everyone, don't be fooled by them! How could humans possibly have good intentions? They just want to lure us out to sea and then sell us into slavery!"

"Get out! We don't need human charity! We have Brother Hody protecting us, that's enough!"

Two completely different ideas clashed fiercely in the sky above Fishman Street, creating a noisy cacophony.

From mid-air, Kane took in the chaotic scene below and nodded to himself.

Sure enough, a significant number of fishmen did not reject going to sea, and even longed to change their current situation with the help of powerful external forces.

This number was more than he had expected.

Kane leaped lightly and landed in the center of the plaza below, instantly becoming the focus of everyone's attention.

Yamato and the others followed closely behind.

Upon seeing Kane land, the fishmen who were eager to join immediately felt as if they had found their pillar of support and rushed forward frantically.

"Lord Kane! Please take me in! I'll do anything! Let me aboard!"

The mermen shouted wildly.

Their actions immediately provoked strong dissatisfaction from the other side of the fishmen.

"Bastards! Do you want to be human dogs?"

"We fish-men are supreme!"

Those extremists who believed in "fishman supremacy" glared angrily at their compatriots who were willing to become traitors to fish.

Their rebukes ignited the battlefield.

Neither side would back down, hurling vicious insults at the other, and in the heat of the moment, some even began to push and shove.

"Quiet down and listen to me!"

King Neptune shouted loudly in an attempt to maintain order.

However, the thugs of Fishman Street merely glanced at their king before nonchalantly continuing their trash-talking.

Neptune looked quite embarrassed.

He knew he wasn't very prestigious in Fishman Street, but he never expected to be completely ignored like this.

At the crucial moment, it was Jinbe who stepped forward.

"Shut up, all of you!"

The towering whale shark-man didn't even need to make any extra movements; he simply took a step forward, and the fish-men involuntarily and slowly quieted down.

Jinbe's prestige in Fishman Town is evident.

Fortunately, Neptune was magnanimous; if it had been a king who was more like a school principal, he probably would have started to suppress him long ago.

As Jinbe saw the crowd quiet down, he was about to speak when he heard a series of dense and noisy footsteps in the distance, accompanied by arrogant shouts.

Hody Jones led a large group of armed, menacing fishmen as they charged in menacingly.

"Brother Hody!"

The fishmen greeted them respectfully and made way for them.

"Brother Jinbe, have you fallen too?!"

Hody Jones fired first: "Have you forgotten how Tiger died?"

Then he turned to Neptune and roared, "And you, Neptune! As the king of Fish-Man Island, how long will you continue to grovel before humans! You are a disgrace to us fish-men!"

Jinbe snorted coldly: "Hody Jones! You actually dare to show yourself!"

If it were before, Jinbe, who was questioned by Hody, might have tried to persuade him with reason.

But now, all that remained in his heart was boiling murderous intent and rage.

He stared intently at Hody, his voice icy: "How exactly did Princess Otohime die? Do you dare repeat it again in front of everyone?!"

Hody was suddenly startled: They really knew?!

But then he calmed down.

What good would it do to know?

He is no longer the lowly soldier in the King's Army he was three years ago!

He had a large following and wielded power!

Not to mention Jinbe, he could even take down that so-called great pirate Kane.

Hody grinned maliciously and admitted, "What's there to be ashamed of! I killed that stupid woman, Otohime!"

"Even though fish-men possess strength far exceeding that of humans, she always grovels and begs for mercy before weak humans, yet she still dares to dream of peaceful coexistence?!"

"I wouldn't mind killing a hundred idiots like that!"

The Neptunes were trembling with rage, their eyes bloodshot.

It's a shame that their wives (mothers) were still thinking of forgiving the murderer even on their deathbeds.

The murderer showed no remorse whatsoever, and even took pride in it!

Not satisfied, Hodyjou suddenly raised his trident and shouted to the surrounding fanatical followers: "Murlocs are born to be superior to humans! We will repay humans tenfold, a hundredfold, for the sin of enslaving our people!"

"Correct!"

"Brother Hody, let's get this done!"

"Long live the fishmen!"

Hody's followers were thrilled.

I wish I could storm the Dragon Palace right now, seize Neptune's throne, and let Brother Hody sit on it.

"Is this a sign that they're about to have a showdown?"

Kane observed coldly, subtly scanning his surroundings.

Many armed fishmen were seen subtly shifting positions, forming a loose encirclement.

Unfortunately, their supposedly secretive actions were completely exposed by the Observation Haki.

"You bastard! You still haven't learned your lesson!"

Jinbe was furious and took a step forward.

"Repent? What a joke." Hody scoffed. "I'm a man who'll follow Brother Long!"

Kane wanted to laugh.

People are afraid of comparison.

Although Aaron is a racist, he genuinely cares for his fellow fish-men, unlike Hody, who cannot tolerate any disobedience from his merfolk.

Over here, Hody could no longer contain his ambition and murderous intent.

"Brothers, charge! Kill these pirates who want to enslave our people! Leave no one alive!"

Hody brandished his trident and gave the order to attack.

His die-hard followers immediately roared and surged toward Kane and his men!

This series of unexpected events left the other fishmen completely bewildered.

Isn't the Beasts Pirates recruiting today?

Why is it that we're about to start fighting again all of a sudden?

the other side.

"Sure enough, in the end, we still have to use the most direct way to 'persuade' them."

Kane's lips curled into a cold smile.

The next second, a dazzling, pure and powerful green light, like jade, suddenly burst forth from his body!

Amidst countless horrified gazes, his body rapidly swelled and deformed!

The next instant, a verdant dragon descended upon the mortal world.

"Wow~ What a huge dragon!"

All the fishmen present, regardless of their stance, gasped in shock.

“Those who wish to follow me, come this way.”

Kane's voice rolled in like muffled thunder.

The sheer size of the fishmen created an unparalleled sense of oppression. The fishmen who had been shouting and charging at Kane just moments before all froze in place, cowering and hesitant to move forward.

But another group of fishmen, who originally craved power and change, were completely agitated.

"This is the power I want to follow!"

"Please accept us, Lord Kane!"

They cheered and surged toward Kane.

Kane said, "Robin, register them."

Robin nodded: "Understood."

This is the kind of occasion where her talents truly shine.

She gracefully crossed her arms in front of her chest and activated her ability.

The next moment, on the long table that was temporarily moved in, a dozen or so slender and flexible arms made of flower petals instantly "bloomed"!

Under Robin's control, each of these arms held a pen and a register, operating like a highly efficient and precise instrument, tirelessly registering information for the eager fish people at a speed that was dazzling to behold.

"hateful!"

Looking at the square with its drastically changed atmosphere, Hody was so angry he almost gritted his teeth.

I'm staging a coup, can't you guys show some respect?

"Take your medicine!"

Now is not the time to hold back.
