The pinnacle of pirates begins with deceiving fate!

"Do not."

Pete emerged from the shadows, his pale face conveying a serious expression.

"Don't let this boring mood ruin our plans; this is our last chance."

Since the last attack by Whitebeard, he and his entire pirate ship were swallowed by giant waves and sank into the sea.

A fishman saved...

No, to be precise, it was the fishman who discovered them and took advantage of their drowning to bind and imprison them.

They said they wanted to let them experience what it's like for humans to be sold off by fish-men and become slaves.

As for the result...

Naturally, they woke up from their coma, easily broke free of the ropes, and gave that foolish fishman a good beating.

But instead of killing the fishman, they realized it was a great hiding place: Fishman Island!

That fishman was a spineless coward. After some coercion and enticement, he joined them as a pirate and led them to sneak into Fishman Island.

"Should we wait until the Celestial Dragons leave before we make a move? Those foolish fishmen probably can't wait that long."

The pirate subordinate frowned, looking somewhat troubled.

During this time, they secretly helped their fishman companion, who had become a pirate, persuade many local residents.

These residents included many fish-men from the Neptune's army.

All that's needed is for them to work together from within and without to completely overthrow the mermaids' regime and make the fish-men the masters of this place!

At that time, these pirates will be the masters of their masters!

Chapter 135 Fishman Island Riot

Into the night

Since Fishman Island's light source mainly relies on sunlight transmitted through the Sun Tree Eve, day and night alternate here at night, with faint starlight replacing the sun.

Combined with glowing corals of various colors, Fishman Island is breathtakingly beautiful at night.

Inside the giant seashell room of the Dragon Palace, John and Phoenix sat facing each other, raising their glasses and chatting amidst the fantastical scenery outside.

Huang's cheeks flushed slightly with a hint of intoxication. Her black tulle dress revealed lace lingerie, showcasing her perfect figure and making her both sexy and alluring.

She rested her chin on her hand, gazing at John across from her, her beautiful eyes blinking slightly.

"Why do you seem to have a problem with Fishman Island? You're actually encouraging them to start a war, how wicked!"

"I just think they are too greedy, yet unwilling to pay the price for more desires."

John swirled his wine glass, gazing at the blood-red liquid swirling within, a dark glint in his eyes.

It is natural for people to have desires, and it is precisely because of desires that we yearn for a better life.

Just like himself.

But the guys on Fishman Island went too far. Not only did they yearn for more beauty, they were unwilling to pay any price or take any risks.

How is that possible!

“John.”

Huang suddenly became serious and sat up straight.

Will the world that Vega described at the banquet—a world with unlimited resources and where everyone is equal and harmonious—truly come to pass?

"do not know."

John didn't believe it, but he didn't want to discourage Phoenix.

Not receiving a positive response, a hint of confusion flashed in Huang Mei's eyes.

Ordinary civilians may not know, but during her years in the navy, she witnessed far too much darkness.

Many people are simply defending their legitimate rights, yet they are labeled as pirates, wanted and bounty-suppressed, and forced to leave their homes.

There are also some people who commit evils that are unimaginable to ordinary people, yet they can still reap both fame and fortune and live a carefree life.

She didn't know what had happened to the world, that it had become so upside down.

In such a world, the Navy's "justice" seems to have become a pretty slogan, as casual as saying "good morning" to someone.

"Something interesting is going to happen later."

Just as Huang was feeling melancholy, John suddenly raised an eyebrow at her.

Before Huang could ask "why", footsteps came from the corridor outside the shell room, getting closer and closer.

Then, an anxious voice sounded from outside the door.

"John Saint, are you inside?"

Before John could answer, the sounds from outside continued.

“A prisoner escape has occurred at the prison tower. A large number of prisoners have fled to Jilongkao De Square, causing a riot, and are now heading towards Dragon Palace.”

“John Saint, if you are inside, please open the door and let us in to protect you!”

"This……"

Upon hearing this information, Huang instantly sobered up from her slight intoxication and stared intently at John.

"Could it be that you were behind this?"

It's no wonder she made that assumption; the more she learned about this man, the more she realized how wicked he was.

He was so bad that she couldn't help but love him.

And the prison break just happened to occur when this bad man arrived, so how could she not connect the two?

"What are you saying!"

John frowned in displeasure, feeling that the girl was prejudiced against him.

"I'm not that bored."

As John finished speaking, a series of rapid knocks sounded on the door, the force of which was so heavy it seemed as if the door was about to be smashed to pieces.

Such a "disrespectful" attitude, combined with John's "interesting" words, made Huang realize that something was wrong with the people outside.

Immediately, Huang got up and went to the wardrobe, took off her sheer dress, changed into a shirt and shorts, and then put on the Navy Justice Coat.

John sat quietly by the window, watching and appreciating the entire process of that graceful figure going from hazy to fully covered.

After changing her clothes, Huang took out a black sword sheathed from the wardrobe and gently stroked the sheath with affection.

This was a gift from John; the hilt of the sword was inlaid with an orange gem that matched her hair color, and she loved it.

Then, Huang drew her sword from its sheath and was about to assume a fighting stance towards the door when she saw John still sitting by the window, looking at her with a faint smile on his lips, seemingly not intending to move.

Huang glared at her helplessly and teased:

"John Saint, do you want me to protect you?"

"If the lady of the Navy is willing, I can accept your protection."

John raised his wine glass and offered a distant toast to Huang.

Just then, the five-meter-high double doors were smashed open, and a group of Neptune soldiers in full armor rushed into the room.

It's worth mentioning that, without exception, they are all fishmen!

The leader of the shark-fishmen glanced discreetly at Huang, who was wearing a coat of justice, in front of the right wall, and then pretended to be concerned as he walked toward John in front of the left window.

“Saint John, I have come to protect you on the orders of King Saturn…”

As he drew nearer, the shark-fish man suddenly drew his coral knife from his waist and slashed down at John's head with a fierce expression.

Seeing the Celestial Dragons sitting there in fear, neither dodging nor resisting, he was overjoyed.

"Successful!"

At the critical moment, a black rapier appeared out of the way of the coral blade, blocking it firmly.

Seeing the blade stop about five centimeters above the Celestial Dragon's head, unable to advance even an inch no matter how hard he tried, the shark-fish man's wild joy instantly turned into an extremely ugly expression.

"How is this possible?!"

Phoenix switched to gripping the sword with both hands, and with a sudden, forceful flick, sent the coral blade flying from the shark-fish man's hand.

Then, the sword tip turned and hovered in front of the shark-fish man's neck.

"Tell us, what exactly happened? Why did they attack us!"

"Hahaha!"

The shark-fish man felt a sharp pain in his skin from the blade's edge, and despite being terrified, he forced himself to laugh.

At the same time, he put his hands behind his back and frantically gestured to the stunned Neptune Army subordinates behind him.

"What are you laughing at...?"

Before Huang could finish her question, she saw the Sea King Army guarding the door rushing over with weapons, forcing her to interrupt her and kick the shark-fish man in the stomach.

The shark-fish man was kicked so hard that he spat blood and flew backward, knocking over several Sea King soldiers who rushed up to him.

The remaining seven or eight soldiers circled around from the side, roaring as they charged at the despicable Marine Phoenix who was protecting the Celestial Dragon.

"You lackey of the Celestial Dragons!"

"Damn humans!"

They were filled with intense racial hatred, their eyes bloodshot as if they had seen their father's killer.

Huang found this baffling, but calmly deflected the incoming weapons and kicked them away one by one.

"Why didn't you kill him?" John's voice suddenly rang out.

Upon hearing this, Huang turned her head and explained to the fishmen:

“This is certainly not King Saturn’s intention. These soldiers must have been deceived and instigated. They do not deserve to die.”
