Pirates: From Vice Captain to Lord of the Dead

Until the sea water slowly receded, the wet shore was left with ruins and countless unconscious fishmen with their eyes rolled back.

"Okay."

Standing at the bow of the violently shaking Merry, Reiner put one hand in his pocket, and turned his head with the other hand holding the battle axe, and said with a slight smile, "I only used 50% of my strength."

"Tsk, nothing more than that."

"Get carried away."

Zoro and Sanji turned their faces away with disdain, and they were filled with hatred in their hearts.

Damn it!

Installed it for him!!

"That's so cool, Reiner!" Usopp was excited and cheered, "So cool! There were tens of thousands of fishmen, and I didn't expect that they could be solved with just one move!"

"Let's stop the ship and land."

Reiner waved his hand to disperse the battle axe, jumped down and patted Usopp's shoulder with satisfaction.

Yes, children can be taught.

Soon, the Merry sailed to the shore and docked, and Reiner left the wizard undead and the gun ghost to guard the ship.

After the four men landed, they woke up some people and asked them questions. They learned that Hodi seemed to be preparing to do something big, and all the people were summoned to the square.

at the same time

Ryugu Castle located on top of Fishman Island.

This place was built on huge coral reefs and shell piles, with a lifelike dragon coiled around the luxurious palace.

In addition to the palace where the royal family lived, there was also a hard-shell tower where Princess Baixing hid and a prison tower where prisoners were imprisoned.

Hodi imprisoned here all those who resisted him, and all those who signed the petition in Princess Otohime's call for migration to land.

In the prison corridor, Jinbei had his hands shackled and was being pulled by two fishmen.

The two are the new Fishman Pirates cadres, Mushi, a white squid fishman with eight arms, and Geo, a man in a blue-purple robe with the ability to become invisible.

Thump-thump-thump!

"Come in, Boss Jinbei."

Stopping in front of a cell, Mu Xi opened the door and turned back to say, "We don't want to kill you if we can. I hope you can wake up soon."

"It's you who should wake up."

Jinbei's face showed a little anger, and he said in a deep voice: "Hodi's way will not bring true peace. What you are doing will only intensify the hatred."

"We don't want peace."

Bang! Geo pushed Jinbei into the cell and said gloomily, "To enslave humans is the great goal of our new Fishman Pirates."

"As long as we can obtain the power of a princess who is said to be born only once every hundreds of years and has the ability to summon sea kings, this dream will surely come true under the leadership of Boss Hodi."

"I think you'd better be locked up here for the rest of your life. Let's go, Mushi."

boom!

Geo slammed the cell door shut and told the other man to leave.

Jinbei looked at them solemnly as they left.

The other party actually knew about Shirahoshi, which was the only thing that surprised him.

In fact, when Hodi was still in the palace guard, he witnessed the young Princess Shirahoshi losing control of her emotions and summoning several sea kings to spy on her.

That scene shocked Huo Di so much that it is still deeply engraved in his mind.

If it wasn't for the purpose of making her submit to him, Hodi wouldn't have kept the royal family alive until now.

"Boss Jinbei."

At this moment, a sound from the cell opposite attracted Jinbei's attention. He raised his head and looked over there, and saw a familiar figure at a glance.

"Xiaoba?"

"Why are you locked up?"

"News from Boss Jinbe."

Xiao Ba touched his smooth forehead and laughed: "Then Huo Di doubted me. Are you okay, boss?"

"So that's how it is. I'm fine." Jinbei nodded at him.

It was not until then, seeing the two new Fishman Pirates leaders leave, that the other prisoners gathered and came forward.

"What's going on outside now, Boss Jinbe!"

"Even you can't beat Hodi."

"It's over. What is going to happen to this country?"

"Where are the Whitebeard Pirates? Will they take action?"

Almost all those imprisoned here were civilians who had agreed to Princess Otohime's plan, and they made up the majority of Fishman Island.

At this moment, everyone was sighing and lamenting, feeling sad about the impending end of the kingdom.

"Don't worry, everyone!"

Seeing this, Jinbei made up his mind and stood up and said loudly: "I have brought powerful allies! This battle is not over yet, Hodi and the others will never succeed!"

As soon as he finished speaking, hope immediately ignited in the eyes of the people around him, and they hurriedly interrupted him.

"Really? Jinbe!"

"Have the members of the Whitebeard Pirates arrived?!"

"Great!"

"I'm just Ace and Marco and they will definitely come."

The reputation of the Emperor of the Sea is definitely enough to reassure them. When Whitebeard was alive, he was able to protect Fishman Island for many years with just a word and a flag.

Even though Whitebeard has passed away, Esmalco and his men are still protecting Fishman Island, and the news of him becoming the fifth emperor not long ago has also spread to people's ears.

No one would doubt their strength.

However, what changed their mood was that Jinbei suddenly said, "I'm afraid Ace and the others won't be able to make it in a short time."

This time, before the shocked crowd could interrupt, Jinbei immediately spoke: "It's the Straw Hat Pirates. They fought alongside us at the top war. They are allies we can absolutely trust!"

"The Straw Hat Pirates. I've heard of them."

"The captain seems to be Ace's brother."

"Haven't they disappeared for two years?"

"Is it Luffy and the others?!"

Amidst the chorus of doubtful voices, a cheer of surprise seemed a little abrupt.

Everyone couldn't help but look over.

I found a green-haired mermaid girl next to Xiao Ba, who was looking excited. She grabbed the fence with both hands and shouted excitedly to Jinbei:

"Hey, Boss Jinbe! You just mentioned Luffy, right? Have they come to Fishman Island?"

"Wait a minute, Kemi."

Xiao Ba pulled her hand and said hurriedly: "Be polite to Boss Jinbei."

"Kami?" Jinbei didn't care. He had heard this name several times on the Merry. He looked at the green-haired girl curiously, and then nodded.

"Yes, that's what I'm talking about."

"great!!"

After receiving the affirmation, Camie couldn't help but jump up in joy, "Luffy and the others finally came to play with me!"

"Oh no, no, I'm a prisoner now. I have to beat the idiot Hodi up first!"

At this point, Kimi immediately became angry, waving his fists and shouting, "Mrs. Charlie is right! That bastard will never succeed, idiot Shark, beat him to death!"

"Hey! Who are you scolding?"

"What do you mean by idiotic shark!"

Several sharks bared their teeth at her fish-man, and Jinbei also coughed awkwardly.

"Oh, sorry." Kami reacted and stood there, scratching his head and smiling embarrassedly, "I was talking about the great white shark."

"Is that the question, asshole?"

"What did our great white shark do to you!"

"Hey, stop arguing." An eel fishman interrupted the quarreling people and said to Jinbei with an uneasy look: "Can the Straw Hat Pirates really defeat Hodi?"

"Yeah, I heard they are very strong, but..."

A fish-haired fishman seemed not to be optimistic about the Straw Hat Pirates and could not help but say: "After all, even the Great Knight of the Sea, King Neptune, and Boss Jinbe failed. They..."

"Shut up stinky hairtail!"

Kemi jumped onto the fishman's back with his claws and teeth bared, opened his mouth wide and bit his head, and shouted in a vague voice:

"Brother Luffy and his friends are the strongest!"

“—Ah! That hurts!”

"Apologize now, stinky hairtail fish!"

"I know, I know! They are the strongest, let me go, idiot mermaid!"

"This"

Seeing Kimi desperately defending the Straw Hat Pirates, Jinbe burst into laughter, as if he understood why they liked this little girl.

On the other side, the Dragon Palace Hall.

"Oh no, Boss Hodi!"

A fishman ran in quickly, and shouted in panic: "The naval forces of Mermaid Harbor have been completely wiped out, Boss!"

"completely annihilated!?"
