Fishman Street.
This is a certain area in the Fishman Island. Ordinary mermaids rarely come here, and many ordinary fishmen generally don't come here, because most of the people gathered here are vicious and bloodthirsty people. Fishman.
The races that live on Fish-Man Island are divided into mermaids and fish-men. Mermaids are generally gentle in temperament, while most of the fish-men are more violent. Some of them, such as the fish-man Aaron, are even more ferocious in temperament.
Most of the people gathered in Fishman Street were people with the worst temperaments.
Nowadays, the boss of Fish-Man Street is undoubtedly Kai Xia Jinbei. On Fish-Man Island, only Jinbei can control this group of vicious fish-men.
However, as Jinbei went to Ryugu Castle and followed Ron to protect Shirahoshi's safety, and when the plan to relocate Fish-Man Island was conveyed here, Fish-Man Street began to become commotion.
And deep in Fishman Street, somewhere in a dark alley.
"Relocating Fish-Man Island? Did that old guy Neptune suddenly become paranoid? How could the entire island be moved away?"
Hody Jones showed his fangs and folded his arms on his chest.
His younger brother Geo, the bearded shark man, stood beside him and said: "This kind of thing is a bit unbelievable, but Neptune has already announced it to the whole island, so it doesn't look like he is joking... Maybe he has found something that can relocate the fishmen. It’s the island’s power plant.”
"Tikka! Boss Hodi, we cannot let Neptune move the Fish-Man Island away from here. This is the only entrance to the Great Line to the New World. Only here can we continuously capture human slaves and strengthen our army. troops."
The fishman Icarus screamed strangely and spoke to Hody.
Hody said solemnly: "I know."
He has long been secretly plotting to seize the entire Fish-Man Island. He has been hiding in corners where Jinbei was not aware of it, and now he has a team of more than tens of thousands of fish-men.
But in his opinion, this number is not enough. His plan is to have more than 100,000 troops. In addition to joining him in instigating the fishmen from Fishman Street, he also wants to capture the human pirates passing by Fishman Island and bring them to justice. Driven by hard work.
In more than a year, he should be able to gather 100,000 troops.
But it's too early now.
Neptune wanted to move Fishman Island. Once he moved away, it would be difficult to catch more human pirates for use. He was hesitant whether to implement the plan in advance now.
"Boss Hodi! We have the latest information!!"
Just when Hody Jones was hesitating, a fishman quickly ran in from outside, panting and said to him: "The fishman princess Shirahoshi has left Ryugu City! She went to the Forest of the Sea. And he didn’t bring many guards!”
"Um?!"
After hearing the report from his men, Hody's eyes suddenly lit up and he said, "Bai Xing left Dragon Palace City?"
Chance!
Although he doesn’t know why White Star dared to leave Ryugu City, this is undoubtedly an opportunity. As long as he captures White Star, he can use White Star to coerce Neptune into submission!
Even if Neptune refuses to submit, with Shirahoshi as a hostage in hand, Ryugu Castle's guards will be intimidated and have nothing to fear... Seizing Shirahoshi will be equivalent to an extra 50,000 troops!
"Are you sure there aren't many guards?"
Hody's eyes flashed with cold light, staring at the subordinate and speaking in a deep voice.
The man was a little frightened by Hodi's momentum, and cold sweat broke out on his forehead, but he still thought of something and said in a trembling voice: "Yes, there are not many guards, but... but... Brother Jinbei seems to be following not far away."
Jinbei
When Hody heard this, his brows suddenly frowned.
As a new generation of fish-men, he was very familiar with Jinbe. He had even been able to hide his plans and develop them in secret because he was worried about being discovered by Jinbe in advance.
Jinbe is the first person to serve as the king of the Shichibukai in Fishman Island. He is as powerful as a monster. Although Hody has never fought Jinbei, the rumors alone are enough to make him extremely afraid of Jinbei.
"With Jin Ping here, it's going to be very difficult, boss."
The fishman next to him jumped and spoke.
Hodi frowned, his face was uncertain for a while, and his thoughts changed. After a while, he finally made a decision, with a sharp and cold look in his eyes.
"This kind of opportunity can't be let go easily... go gather people!"
He looked up at Ryugu Castle above, and said with a cold face: "No matter how strong Jinbei is, he can't protect Shirahoshi by himself. As long as he catches Shirahoshi, he will be in danger!"
"Quack, yes, yes."
When the fishmen next to them heard Hodi's words, they all grinned, showing their fangs and ferocious smiles. Although it was a bit hasty, this was indeed a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity.
Moreover, over the years, they have secretly developed more than 30,000 troops. With the addition of some recently captured human slaves, they can barely manage to assemble a force of 40,000.
Once White Star is captured... the conquest of Fishman Island is just around the corner!
Hody Jones' summoning order was quickly conveyed in Fishman Street, and this cold and depressing Fishman Street finally began to have an undercurrent, and countless fishmen walked out of their homes with weapons in hand.
…
The forest of the sea.
Shirahoshi is sitting in front of Princess Otohime's grave.
She has been sitting here for a long time... Before Princess Otohime died due to Hody Jones's plot, she was marked by Vanderdeken, so that she could not even attend Otohime's funeral, let alone come. Worship.
This was the first time she came to her mother's sleeping place.
Ron just sat on the coral not far away, waiting calmly, while Nami next to him and Jinbei who came over were talking about what happened in the sea recently.
After a while, Ron flew up and landed next to Shirahoshi. He looked at Otohime's grave and said, "Do you really want to... hear Princess Otohime's voice again?"
“…”
Bai Xing looked at Ron. There were still some crystal tears in her big eyes. She had been sitting here sobbing silently.
After hearing Ron's words, she didn't answer, but just bit her lip, and more tears suddenly welled up in her eyes and fell down her face.
Seeing this, Ron flew to a place that was almost as high as Shirahoshi's head, looked at her, and said, "I have a way for you to see Otohime again. Do you want to see her?"
"… well?"
When Bai Xing heard Ron's previous words, she thought Ron was trying to comfort her. Instead, she suddenly became more and more sad. But when she heard the following words, she was slightly startled, and the tears that rolled down her cheeks were fixed on her cheeks. superior.
Ron said slowly: "I have... magic that can briefly awaken the dead souls."
