Fish-Man Island (3)
After that, everyone stopped talking and watched attentively.
The surrounding Fish-Man residents watched, their hearts filled with unease, for those extremist Fish-Man had finally made their move.
Those guys are terrifying; they actually defeated the royal army and captured the king and prince. If they manage to kill the king and prince, that would be a real problem.
Because these guys are a bunch of bloodthirsty freaks, they kill people at the drop of a hat, and they don't care about the law at all.
If this happens, everything will fall into chaos, and the entire Fish-Man Island may collapse.
Because those extremists want to lead the Fish-Man to attack the humans at sea.
Humans are powerful, and they have the navy as their backing. It would be extremely difficult for Fish-Man Island to win against them.
These extremists will lead the entire Fish-Man Island to its destruction.
They hoped for a miracle, that someone would rescue the royal family. However, the current situation was extremely unfavorable for them.
They had no weapons and were not as strong as the trained Fish-Man. They were truly powerless now.
The Fish-Man inhabitants all watched, their expressions somewhat dazed.
Fanxin saw this and felt even more reassured. These Fish-Man residents did not want the current situation to continue. In this way, when it came time to make a move, these people would surely support the royal family.
And his identity as a human being would no longer touch their sensitive nerves.
There was a long silence, then the Fish-Man who was the leader of the rebels suddenly stood up and went to the front.
He was a great white Fish-Man with curly hair and a flat cap with a trident pattern. He was extremely tall; a human standing in front of him would only be a third of his height.
His Hody Jones, and he is the captain of the New Fish-Man Pirates. He was once a very outstanding soldier in the Ryugu Kingdom.
The reason he rebels against the royal family now is because of his birth environment. He grew up in hatred, he hates humans and does not want humans to be on good terms with Fish-Man.
Despite the late queen's earnest pleas for the Fish-Man and humans to forget their hatred, he still left the army and formed a New Fish-Man Pirates with a group of Fish-Man who shared his hatred.
He became the captain himself, and over time, his pirate crew grew stronger and stronger.
As his power grew, so did his ambition. He wanted to overthrow the royal family and rule Fish-Man Island.
He even went so far as to lead the people of Fish-Man Island to attack human settlements; he was a complete madman.
His current rebellion is all for the sake of realizing his dream. Little does he know, his dream is far too unrealistic and unattainable. Although his pirate crew is powerful, it is still far inferior to the Sun Pirates controlled by Jinbe, Sea Strait.
Jinbe is also unable to defeat humanity, and he can't even beat Marine Admiral. Therefore, it's impossible for him to overthrow humanity and rule the world.
Hody Jones couldn't even defeat Jinbe, so his idea of defeating humans was simply wishful thinking.
He succeeded because Jinbe refused to deal with him. If Jinbe had intervened, Hody Jones's operation would have inevitably failed.
However, he remained oblivious, still dreaming that his plan would succeed. In the end, he still launched an attack on the royal family.
Hody Jones stepped forward and shouted, "Greetings, brothers of the New Fish-Man Pirates! I am Captain Hody Jones. Of course, soon I will be changing my name. From now on, you will call me King Hody Jones, because I am about to become king. Are you happy?"
His voice was so loud that everyone in the square could hear it clearly.
Upon hearing this, the Fish-Man who followed him screamed wildly, calling for King Hody Jones. The scene became incredibly lively.
Hody Jones thoroughly enjoyed the treatment and never interrupted his brothers as they chanted "King!"
He waited a few minutes until everyone calmed down before he continued speaking.
"Today, we are here primarily for one thing: the execution of the king and his sons," Hody Jones said coldly. "Because of their incompetence, the inhabitants of Fish-Man Island are constantly oppressed and sold by humans. If the royal family were more assertive, these things wouldn't happen. However, the royal family has always turned a blind eye, ignoring our feelings and fawning over humans."
"We've had enough. If this continues, humanity will become even more rampant, and our lives will become even more miserable."
"So, I've decided to kill the king and the prince, and then I'll declare myself king. Once I'm king, I'll lead you all back to the surface and show those humans what the power of us Fish-Man is. Are you willing?"
"Yes, yes, yes..." The shouts rose and fell, echoing for miles, which was quite astonishing.
"Very well, since everyone agrees, let's get started now!" Hody Jones nodded in satisfaction. Then, he picked up a long spear and slowly walked to the king's side.
The king of the Ryugu Kingdom Neptune. He is Fish-Man. He wears a crown, is more robust than ordinary mermaids, has thick, fluffy orange-red hair and beard, flame-like tattoos on his arms, and thick body hair.
Hody Jones approached King Neptune, chuckled, and said, "Your Majesty, are you ready? I'll send you on your way now."
"Hody Jones, you are not fit to be king. You are addicted to killing. If you become king, you will drag the entire Fish-Man Island into the abyss of death. It is not too late for you to repent now, otherwise, you will make a terrible mistake," King Neptune roared.
He didn't want to see this happen, not because he was afraid of death, but because he worried that Fish-Man Island would Destruction. Fish-Man Island didn't have the strength to go to war with humans.
In a scenario where war breaks out with humanity, it will inevitably result in a lose-lose situation. At that point, the conflict will escalate until it becomes uncontrollable.
Therefore, he did not agree with starting a war and hoped to resolve the matter peacefully.
However, Hody Jones was going to use the most extreme methods to solve these problems, which infuriated him.
"Hmph, you're about to die and you're still lecturing me. Let me tell you, you can't change your fate. You're going to die today," Hody Jones said.
"It doesn't matter if I die, but I'm not willing to accept that the kingdom has fallen into your hands!" Neptune said, extremely frustrated.
Hody Jones is a complete madman. If he were to take office, the whole country would descend into chaos.
If given the chance, he would never let Hody Jones take over. But now he has no way to do anything about it.
"Hmph, you can't stop it. Don't worry, what you can't do, I'll step in to help with." Hody Jones said, "I've made up my mind. I'll capture and kill every human who passes through Fish-Man Island. This is just the beginning. Once I've unified the entire Fish-Man Island, I'll lead everyone to attack the human areas. I'm going to rule this world, hahaha..."
He wanted to bring the whole world under his rule; that was his ambition.
"Madman. But you won't succeed," King Neptune said. "Jinbe will stop you; he certainly won't let the Fish-Man Island islanders follow this madman's reckless actions."
King Neptune and Jinbe, Knight of the Sea, have a very good relationship, and Jinbe was once a member of the King's army. Although Jinbe now leads the Sun Pirates and is no longer in the King's army, he and Jinbe often drink and chat, and they have a very good relationship.
He believed that Jinbe would never allow such a thing to happen, because it would destroy the entire Fish-Man Island.
Jinbe loves Fish-Man Island. He was born and raised there, and he would never let his hometown be destroyed by a madman.
"Jinbe? That coward, who knows where he's hiding now. How can he stop me? He's no match for me. If he dares to show his face, I'll kill him." Hody Jones sneered.
Jinbe had tried to dissuade him before, but he found Jinbe annoying because Jinbe was hindering his plans. He would destroy anyone who stood in his way without hesitation.
However, Jinbe to be found now. He has searched the entire Fish-Man Island but has not been able to find him.
"Hmph, Jinbe is far stronger than you. He just didn't want to fight you because he didn't want the Fish-Man to fight amongst themselves. However, he can't tolerate it anymore, because your outrageous behavior has greatly displeased him." King Neptune said disdainfully, "I know I'll die, and it'll be a bit of a shame to not see you get beaten up by Jinbe. But with Jinbe around, I feel a little more at ease."
"Don't you dare mention him again," Hody Jones said. "If you do, I'll kill you."
"Oh, so you're not going to kill me now? What's your purpose? What are you waiting for?" Neptune said.
"Hehe, I'm waiting for her." Hody Jones chuckled and said, "I'm waiting for your daughter, Princess Shirahoshi. So much time has passed, and the news has spread; she should be returning soon!"
He projected the news of the king's execution onto every corner of Fish-Man Island using Den Den Mushi. Every resident of Fish-Man Island knew about it.
Even if Princess Shirahoshi leaves Fish-Man Island, she will surely hear about it.
"You bastard, what do you want to do to my daughter?" Neptune shouted, clearly annoyed.
Princess Shirahoshi was his most beloved daughter, and he wouldn't allow anyone to hurt her.
"Heh, don't worry, I won't kill your daughter. What I need is the power within her. That's a power capable of Destruction the world."
Hody Jones chuckled and said, "If I control Princess Shirahoshi, I can conquer the world with her, and no one can stop me."
"You... you killed me just as a pretext. Your real purpose is to lure Shirahoshi here, isn't it!" King Neptune's expression changed slightly upon hearing this, and he said.
From Hody Jones's words, he learned something important. Hody Jones's ultimate goal was to capture his daughter.
However, since his daughter had been taken away from the palace by someone else not long ago, Hody Jones had failed in his attempt, so he planned to use this method to lure his daughter back.
The daughter is a filial child; if her father is to be killed, she will naturally rush over.
"Not bad, hehe. I don't care much about your throne. With your daughter, what can't I get? Your daughter possesses that mysterious power, yet you don't use it; it's a real waste." Hody Jones said, "In that case, I'll use it. Don't worry, I will definitely use her power to defeat those humans and lead Fish-Man Island out of Fish-Man Island."
"No, absolutely not! Do you know what kind of power that is? It's enough to destroy the entire world!" King Neptune's expression changed drastically upon hearing this, and he shouted.
His daughter possesses a mysterious power that allows her to summon Sea Kings. Whenever she cries, the Sea Kings will appear to comfort her. She can speak with the Sea Kings and command Sea Kings to launch attacks.
Sea Kings are enormous and incredibly strong; anyone who encounters Sea Kings without overwhelming power will surely die.
Therefore, they have kept this force a secret from the outside world, fearing that someone might try to take advantage of it.
However, this power could not be concealed in the end. When the Queen was threatened by the Celestial Dragons, Princess Shirahoshi suddenly burst into tears. Her cries summoned the Sea Kings, and dozens of Sea Kings gathered on the beach, frightening countless people into fainting.
Many people witnessed it that time, and those who didn't know the reason thought it was an accident. In fact, it wasn't; it was summoned by Princess Shirahoshi.
Those who knew the truth began to plot against Princess Shirahoshi. In order to prevent Shirahoshi from falling into the hands of others, he had no choice but to place his daughter in the palace and protect her strictly.
Otherwise, Princess Shirahoshi would have been kidnapped by someone with malicious intent when she was still a child.
Now that Hody Jones is eyeing that power, he is finding it hard to remain calm, not only because it is his daughter, but also because that power is too terrifying.
If that madman Hody Jones were to actually get his hands on it, the world would be in chaos.
"Hmph, I know, that's exactly what I need." Hody Jones chuckled and said, "I'm really looking forward to it. This time, not only will I become king, but I'll also gain an incredibly powerful ability. After becoming king, I'll take Princess Shirahoshi into battle, hehe..."
