Hody Jones's Threat

"What a joke! What right do you have to decide everyone's life and death? You're the kind of stupid bastard who only knows hatred and revenge, and you should disappear from our sight forever!" Jinbe's anger filled his chest, as if he was about to explode at any moment.

"Hahaha, looks like you think I'm joking. Fine, let the sinners here be the first to taste the flames of our revenge." Hody Jones smiled cruelly and pressed the first button on the remote control without hesitation.

"No... don't!" Jinbe's eyes widened. He had underestimated Hody's madness and was too late to stop him.

Rumble!

The dazzling flames, the thunderous explosions, and the scorching heat emanated from the city wall above the North Gate of the Plaza, spreading outwards.

As the aftershocks subsided, only mangled limbs and helpless groans remained—a scene straight out of hell.

"You... you... damn... bastard!" Jinbe was the first time Jinbe had felt such intense killing intent towards a Fish-Man. He wanted nothing Jinbe than to tear him to pieces. In his rage, Jinbe raised his iron fist, ready to smash Hody into a pulp. But when he saw Hody move his thumb to another button, he had no choice but to suppress his anger and asked in a hateful voice.

"What exactly do you want? Since you didn't press all the buttons at once, it means you still have the will to survive. Put down the remote control, and I'll let you leave."

"Let me go? Hahaha, did I hear that right? Who gave you the audacity to talk to me like that, Jinbe?" Hody Jones scoffed at Jinbe's forgiveness. "Are you trying to force me to press the second button?"

Jinbe's blue face was so black it looked like ink was dripping out; this was the first time he had ever felt so frustrated.

"And you." Hody Jones turned to Enel. "I know you're fast, but I advise you not to bet on your speed. After all, if I catch you in one hit and survive, the outcome is hard to predict."

Enel picked at his ear again, blew on his fingers, and then said nonchalantly, "Idiot, I don't care whether your Fish-Man Island lives or dies. It makes no difference to me anyway."

Enel wasn't lying. Although seawater is a natural enemy for most Devil Fruit users, he could evaporate it before it got close, creating an Absolute Domain around himself, and then use that opportunity to return to the Ark Maxim.

Of course, the most crucial point is that he knew that Hody Jones, who thought he was in control of the whole situation, was from the very beginning an involuntary puppet, a pitiful wretch who had no choice in his own destiny.

Hody Jones was taken aback, completely not expecting Enel to ignore his threat so blatantly and even make him feel uncomfortable with that pitying look. But he quickly laughed, "Is that so? In that case, Jinbe, kill him!"

Hody Jones wore a satisfied smile; he had been annoyed by Enel's condescending attitude for a long time.

"You bastard, are you ordering me around?" Jinbe laughed angrily, even Neptune wouldn't speak to him in such a commanding tone.

"Of course not, I'm threatening you." Hody Jones gripped the remote and waved it in front of Jinbe. "Someone like you, who calls himself the spiritual leader of Fish-Man Island, shouldn't just stand by and watch them die, right?"

"Damn scum!" Jinbe spat, then said in an unfriendly tone, "You have no idea how powerful this guy is. Even I am not confident of victory, let alone the person behind him who has the terrifying power to destroy the entire Fish-Man Island. If you really anger that person, even if you don't press the button, Fish-Man Island will still be doomed to destruction."

"Hahaha, I don't care about all that. Whether you destroy it now or later, you can make your choice now."

Jinbe's eyes were practically spitting fire, but he had no choice but to endure Hody's threat. He turned to Enel and said seriously, "Although I am also unwilling to be an enemy of a strong person like you, the current situation does not allow me to make many choices. I can only offend you for now."

Enel still looked like he hadn't slept properly, standing loosely. "To be honest, apart from the captain, none of the Shichibukai I've encountered so far have been opponents I can take seriously. I hope you can put some pressure on me."

"What arrogant words!" Although he had no intention of being enemies with Enel, Jinbe couldn't help but want to teach him a lesson after hearing Enel's arrogant tone. "If Nightmare Roy were here, I would naturally retreat, but if the enemy is you, I believe I still have the strength to fight."

Fukaboshi, who had already retreated to the side, saw that the two of them were praising the man named Roy so highly, and thought to himself, "For Jinbe to say such things, what kind of monster is that Nightmare Roy? However, if he is really that powerful, I wonder if he can eliminate the crisis of Fish-Man Island's destruction?"

Having made their decision, the two did not hesitate any longer and both acted decisively.

"5,000 Tile True Fist!"

"60 Million Volt Thunder Dragon!"

The dark fist, imbued with Armament Haki, collided violently with the purplish-black lightning. The electric snakes scattered around emitted a hissing sound, and the violent and powerful fist wind pierced through the sea of lightning.

In just a moment, the destruction caused by their battle exceeded that of the previous battle between 100,000 rebels and the Sea King Army. Half of the city wall collapsed with a roar, and before it could even fall completely, it was already shattered into dust in the aftershocks of their battle.

"Such powerful lightning force! No wonder he is a strongman who can face off against Admiral!" Even with Armament Haki covering his entire body, Jinbe could still feel the tingling sensation running through his body, Jinbe help but praise him.

"Old man, your strength is not bad either, you can be considered a big shot." Jinbe's fierce and unparalleled punches caused Enel a lot of trouble, making him put aside his cynical expression for the first time and start to take his opponent seriously.

"This coward actually hides such powerful strength!" Hody Jones couldn't help but feel envious when he saw that Jinbe was able to fight on equal terms with a terrifyingly strong person who had defeated him with a casual blow.

"Wow... so powerful, an enemy that even Jinbe couldn't defeat?" The Fish-Man, who had survived the explosion, gasped in shock at the terrifying battle scene before him.

Although Enel's lightning left a deep impression on the Fish-Man, they hadn't directly experienced that power like Hody Jones, so they didn't have a direct understanding of Enel's strength. Now, seeing that even Jinbe, the "god-like" leader of Fish-Man Island, couldn't defeat him, they deeply realized how terrifying Enel truly was.
