"It seems that Princess Shirahoshi said something to Cifer."
Robin guessed the answer immediately.
She couldn't hear, but she knew Enel could.
There are plenty of people who speak ill of them, but the fact that he suddenly lost his temper here shows that something said angered him.
Or perhaps, during their conversation in the palace, the two of them mentioned something that upset him, something related to the rumors circulating on Fish-Man Island.
"The world can become a more comfortable place if violence is used correctly."
Lucci didn't think there was anything wrong with it; if it were him, he might have done even worse.
"Father... everyone... look!"
By this time, Shirahoshi had calmed down and shyly followed Cifer into the Ryugu Palace. Her long legs attracted the attention of almost everyone.
"Shirahoshi, what's wrong with your tail...?"
Neptune was dumbfounded; this was not what he had expected. He rushed over to ask what was going on.
Everyone went over and surrounded Shirahoshi, asking her questions. She patiently explained to them one by one.
Enel also lowered his hand at this moment and stopped firing lightning, thus saving some Fish-Man from disaster.
"Well done."
"Um."
It was rare for Cifer to express his approval of Enel, who responded with a single word.
As Cifer beckoned, Jinbe eagerly walked up to him.
"We didn't want to deal with those talkative Fish-Man, but they made Shirahoshi unhappy, so they had to be taught a lesson."
"Not everything can be said; a casual remark could lead to your death."
Cifer's words, seemingly an explanation, were actually a warning.
Enel's Mantra covers the entire Fish-Man Island, and his Neural Scan is no exception.
Most of the Fish-Man who like to verbally belittle him come from Fish-Man District. Jinbe is from there, so naturally he should be the one to keep an eye on him.
"Don't worry, Cifer! I will handle this matter together with the King!"
Jinbe understood what he meant. In this Great Pirate Era, the name Ulquiorra alone was enough to symbolize something that could not be offended.
No one should cross this line just because he has a good temper; otherwise, even if he dies, it's only because he deserved it.
Jinbe now only hoping that Enel didn't go too far, otherwise he'll have a hard time explaining himself to either side.
So, Cifer and his group spent nearly a week on Fish-Man Island, and Shirahoshi and her future companions gradually became acquainted.
Thanks to Enel's actions, some of the Fish-Man on Fish-Man Island who had previously held grudges against Cifer and his group fell silent and dared not utter any more disrespectful words.
Neptune also announced to the entire island that Cifer had once again saved Princess Shirahoshi and Fish-Man Island, and ordered his people to respect Cifer as if he were a member of the royal family.
The general public didn't find anything wrong with it; after all, Cifer was a hero of Fish-Man Island.
These days, it would be strange if someone insulted such a big shot as them and didn't react at all; it's the Miracle that the Fish-Man even survived.
The residents of Fish-Man Island did not hate Cifer and his gang; on the contrary, they thought they were very kind humans, and the relationship between the two races even improved.
During this time, a little-known incident also occurred.
In a tavern in Fish-Man District, several burly Fish-Man were gathered. Because of this infamous gang, everyone here was one of their men.
"Hody, I heard that woman will become that man's companion. Will this affect our plans?"
A Fish-Man, lying like a toad, opened his mouth, revealing a mouthful of sharp teeth.
"Don't worry, there's still plenty of time. We can make plans later when she leaves with them, as long as we have the goods."
Sitting among the group, Hody showed no sign of panic; he didn't believe his ambitions would be easily thwarted at the first step.
Although their words were arrogant, they dared not mention the names of the Cifer gang in their every word, which was enough to reveal their true feelings.
"Yay! Hahahaha!"
"There are a few little fish out there looking for trouble!"
A loud, unrestrained laugh came from outside the door, and a corpse crashed through the door and flew in.
Immediately afterwards, the lazy Enel and Lucci, with their hands in their pockets, slowly walked in.
"Are you allies of Ulquiorra? How dare you indiscriminately slaughter the residents of Fish-Man Island! What are you trying to do?!"
"We are the commoners beloved by Princess Shirahoshi!"
Hody was so frightened that he stood up, his face instantly covered in cold sweat, and questioned loudly.
"My captain said you were in the way and there was no need for you to stay, so we came and you should leave."
Lucci pulled his hand out, his words revealing an anticipation of killing.
"Enough with the nonsense! Just kill him!"
The octopus-like Fish-Man holding a gourd of wine took a big gulp, then drew his sword and stabbed at the two men.
"Clang!"
To the astonishment of the Fish-Man, the sound of the knife Lucci was like the clash of metal.
Shigan!
The octopus retreated quickly, barely managing to dodge the attack, and the effects of the alcohol instantly vanished in fright.
"Damn it... Watch this!"
The Fish-Man, whose entire body was completely wrapped up, became transparent and disappeared from everyone's sight.
"Invisibility? That's a really troublesome ability!"
Enel gently tapped his ear, and the figure reappeared.
"Geo, what are you doing?!"
Hody yelled as he saw him standing there in that strange pose.
"I... I can't control my body!"
Geo's strong sense of pride wouldn't have allowed him to say such a thing, but the cruel reality and boundless fear had already enveloped him.
"Now, let me have some fun!"
As he spoke, Lucci's body began to swell rapidly.
"Little Shirahoshi, we're leaving now~"
Standing atop the Little Ul, Nolan, Chopper, and the others waved vigorously, bidding farewell to their companion who had not yet boarded the ship.
The Little Ul has already completed its coating. This time, when entering the New World, they plan to use the most natural method, rather than going directly through the Garganta.
"Nolan ~ Chopper~ Everyone~ I'll be waiting for you here!"
As the ship gradually rose to the surface, Shirahoshi waved and her eyes narrowed slightly.
The agreed time had not yet arrived, and Lord Cifer and the others said they needed to go upstairs to take care of some things first.
"Shirahoshi, you'd better be prepared. The next time we come, it will be the time when you become a 'villain' with a bounty on your head by the World Government."
Cifer started to tease.
"I'm not a 'bad guy'! Neither are you, Lord Cifer!"
Shirahoshi already knows everything that Cifer and his group are planning to do.
She never imagined that her captain was actually fighting against the entire World Government for the sake of the whole world!
She believed that once they all removed the bounty on that "pirate," the world would become an ideal land where races could live in peace.
"Let's go, New World!"
The Little Ul left the Fish-Man Island area, and Shirahoshi and the others watched them sail away.
The Mermaid Cafe at this moment.
"Madame Shyarly seems to be in a good mood?"
Camie watched her boss humming a tune with amusement and felt a little curious.
I guess so.
Madame Shyarly exhaled a thin puff of smoke, her gaze fixed on the doorway, as if trying to pierce through layers of obstacles to see the departing Cifer.
Cifer on the Little Ul seems to sense something and turns back to look at Fish-Man Island.
Their gazes seemed to meet despite numerous obstacles.
Just like what Madame Shyarly saw in the crystal ball a few days ago.
Amidst the endless flames of war, that man stood in the sky.
But then they suddenly looked back, as if they had passed through a crystal ball, bridging the present and the future, and their eyes met.
He overthrew the world.
He rebuilt the world.
