The pirates targeting Shirahoshi!
Just as Haku was greeting Shirahoshi.
Outside the Ryugu Palace, another group of Pirates stormed into Fish-Man Island and headed straight for the Ryugu Palace.
Haku frowned because he noticed that a large number of Pirates ships had gathered around Fish-Man Island!
"These people are truly greedy! Even with little strength, they still want to steal what doesn't belong to them," Haku said disdainfully.
Neptune and Shirahoshi both turned their gazes toward Haku with surprise!
Haku walked out of the Ryugu Palace, seemingly intending to deal with the matter.
"Hey! Mr. Haku, wait for me!" Shirahoshi quickly caught up with Haku.
The next second, Haku had vanished from the Ryugu Palace!
At least ten Pirates ships were slowly approaching from within a dozen nautical miles of Fish-Man Island.
"Captain! Captain! We're very close to Fish-Man Island now. Should we attack the other Pirates ships?"
Faced with his subordinates' question, the Pirates captain angrily retorted, "Foolish! We're currently ten thousand meters underwater!"
"If we make a move now, and the coating on the ship breaks, we'll be nothing but fish food."
The captain's angry shouts were so piercing that all his passing crew members heard them.
"So, are we going to wait until we get to Fish-Man Island before we wipe them out?" a murderous Pirates asked.
"You bunch of idiots! The important thing right now isn't getting to Fish-Man Island! It's preventing one of the other ten ships from becoming a crazy lunatic!"
"Men, keep a close watch! If anyone makes a move, we'll focus fire on them!"
"Yes, Captain!!!"
As the crew shouted, the Pirates captain stared intently in the direction of Fish-Man Island.
This Pirates captain's Hell!
He was a notorious the Sea wreaked havoc in the North Blue, and his Devil Fruit ability was called the Puppet-Puppet Fruit!
As the name suggests, anyone who consumes flesh and blood containing Hell hair will be controlled by the other party!
Seeing this ability, Hell had unknowingly gained control over many powerful individuals who served him!
Their power is already comparable to that of mid-to-upper-level pirates among the Sea.
Unfortunately, while this entire Pirates crew has grown so large, Hell's own strength is still only average!
He was always suspicious and fearful, afraid of betrayal from his subordinates and annihilation by the navy!
Logically speaking, Hell with such power shouldn't be so cowardly!
The culprit behind Hell's condition is Kaido, who died not long ago.
Of course, this isn't Kaido's fault!
Who told Hell to get so arrogant as to try and control Kaido using his Devil Fruit ability!
As a result, Kaido directly suppressed Hell's ability to control people with Conqueror's Haki, tortured him thoroughly, and then rewarded him with a Dragon Breath!
Perhaps, he was lucky enough!
Kaido was under the influence of alcohol at the time, which caused the Dragon Breath to only affect the target and not directly hit him!
For the first time, Hell, who is used to relying on his own abilities, begins to question them!
Or rather, he began to doubt his own abilities.
This questioning drove him to extremes; he began to crave even greater power!
But Shirahoshi's appearance gave him a glimmer of hope.
Legend has it that Princess Shirahoshi of Fish-Man Island possesses the power to summon Sea King, a power powerful enough to overturn the balance of the seas and drive any Pirates force mad. Hell naturally heard this rumor, and his ambition was completely ignited. He longed to possess this power to make up for his own shortcomings and regain his fame at sea.
"Princess Shirahoshi, your power will belong to me, and I will use it to conquer the entire world!" Hell vowed silently in his heart, his eyes flashing with greed and madness.
He desperately wants this ability now!
Meanwhile, Haku had already quietly approached the Pirates fleet, harboring undisguised feelings for Hell.
He heard it perfectly clearly!
Haku glanced disdainfully ahead, then unleashed a powerful burst of energy from the Sea, shooting towards the Pirates ship before her!
"Enemy attack! Enemy attack!"
Because Haku was too fast, he entered the Pirates ship.
Haku's feet pierced through the deck and fell into the cabin!
None of the Pirates saw what had fallen below the deck!
Their only thought was that the enemy was attacking!
There really are crazy people attacking others 10,000 meters underwater!
The Pirates panicked, drawing their weapons and looking around frantically, trying to find the sudden enemy.
The commotion had already alerted the other nine Pirates ships nearby!
However, their view was obstructed by the narrow cabin and the chaotic crowd, making it impossible for them to pinpoint Haku's exact location.
"Everyone calm down, don't panic!" Hell's voice rang out on the deck, trying to stabilize the situation, but there was also a hint of tension in his voice.
"Concentrate firepower and attack towards the deck!"
Upon hearing this, the Pirates turned their guns around and fired wildly at the deck. However, their bullets seemed to the Sea, failing to elicit any response.
Just then, a strong tremor came from the bottom of the ship, and the entire Pirates ship seemed to be gripped by an invisible giant hand, shaking violently. The Pirates lost their footing, fell to the ground, and looked around in horror at everything.
"What the hell is this?!" Hell roared, trying to grab the handrail to steady himself, but his efforts were in vain.
Just then, a figure slowly rose from the bottom of the cabin; it was Haku.
"W-How could this be...? Why is this monster here?!"
Every Pirates who saw Haku's face felt a chill run down their spine!
Because they recognized Haku!
They were also well aware of Haku's style of dealing with Pirates, after all, weren't all of them ruthless Pirates?
Haku naturally gave up the group of Pirates from the North Blue!
At least, he had already seen information about Hell and his Pirates crew when he was in the Navy.
However, he was assigned to the New World at that time.
Therefore, even if he knew these Pirates deserved to die, he neither had the time nor the energy to find them and wipe Pirates out in one fell swoop!
Bang! Bang! Bang!
Three shots rang out in quick succession!
Hell held a finely crafted silver revolver in his hand and fired several shots at Haku's forehead!
Hell certainly knew that Haku was a Logia Devil Fruit User!
Therefore, the bullets he fired were naturally Seastone Bullets that he had purchased at a high price.
He was confident that the bullet would hit Haku in the head.
Even if Haku is a Logia Devil Fruit User, three bullets fired in succession would be enough to kill Haku!
However, while this guy's idea was wonderful, reality was quite cruel!
The three bullets stopped mysteriously less than a meter from Haku.
