Beginning, Then the End
"It's so lively!"
In the banquet hall, Sirius wiped his mouth. "Shouldn't we be getting started soon, Black?"
"They've arrived."
Black answered calmly.
Before Jinbe and King Neptune could figure out what was going on, the ice at the entrance to the banquet hall suddenly began to vibrate, and then a black object pierced through the ice and extended in.
"Drill?"
Neptune was somewhat bewildered.
Why a drill bit?
The drill stopped drilling and, to Jinbe's astonishment, began to transform into a hollow tubular channel.
Let's go.
Sirius stood up and stretched.
All things considered, Black is still the most reliable.
Whether in the sky or the deep sea, no environment can stump him.
The members of the Sirius Pirates entered the Sirius through the opened passage.
Then the passage closed, the large ship outside the restaurant retreated, and seawater rushed in through the hole.
However, this amount of seawater was of no use to the Fish-Man and mermaids in the hall at this moment.
Fish-Man and mermaids can even swim against strong ocean currents.
"Jinbe, King Neptune, there's something very interesting. Shall we go see it together?"
As the Fish-Man and mermaids poked their heads out of the banquet hall, they heard a sound coming from the large, dark ship.
Jinbe and Neptune exchanged a glance.
Outside the Hard Shell Tower, the atmosphere between the two groups had become extremely tense.
"Give me Shirahoshi, Vander Deikun!"
Hody held the trident, his voice cold and sharp.
"Don't even think about it!"
Vander Deikun scoffed, "Shirahoshi is my bride! She belongs to me!"
"I'm not."
Princess Shirahoshi weakly retorted.
But now nobody listens to her at all.
"Well, there's nothing we can do about that, Vander Deiken."
Hody was smiling, but his smile sent chills down Vander Deikun's spine.
This guy is extremely dangerous!
"Wadatsumi! Kill him!" Vander Deiken roared immediately.
Bald Poseidon was a bit slow on the uptake. He paused for a moment after hearing his boss's order before clenching his fist and punching Hody.
But it's too slow, far too slow.
Hody is a great white shark- Fish-Man. While his swimming speed may not be the fastest, it is certainly not slow either. He casually dodges Wadatsumi punch with a dash in the water, and then smoothly cuts a large gash in Wadatsumi's arm with his trident.
The bald sea god screamed in agony.
At the same time, Hody pounced on Van Die Deacon.
"As Fish-Man, he actually abandoned the sea for the power of Devil Fruit!"
Hody's eyes were bloodshot. "Vander Deacon, you'll die too!"
Van der Deiken looked panicked.
His abilities are useless until he touches his opponent.
In the current situation, if he were to touch Hody, he would likely have no chance to use his abilities.
However, it was at this time...
"Vander Deikun! Hody Jones!! What are you doing?!"
A sound like thunder suddenly rang out.
Hody stopped what he was doing and turned around in surprise.
A series of figures were rapidly breaking through the water.
Jinbe, Aladdin, the members of the Sun Pirates, Neptune, and the high-ranking officials of the Ryugu Kingdom.
"How could it be so fast?"
Hody couldn't help but exclaim in surprise.
Did Black Wolf's crew not cause any trouble in their desperation?
Did they drown directly in the sea?
What a piece of trash!!
The situation is getting a bit complicated.
Hody frowned.
Neptune is fine, but Jinbe is a real problem.
Hody's hand instinctively reached for his waist and touched a small pocket, instantly putting his mind at ease.
He also has his most powerful secret weapon.
"Shirahoshi!"
King Neptune saw his youngest daughter being held captive by Vander Decken and was immediately alarmed.
Then he saw his eldest son, who had been carelessly tossed to the ground by Hody, and was almost lifeless. "Fukaboshi!!"
Two of the four children left behind by his beloved wife have met with misfortune in such a short period of time!
"Vander Deikun! Hody!! What exactly do you want?!"
Even the good-tempered King Neptune could no longer contain his anger.
"Tsk,"
Hody sneered. Now that he was exposed, it didn't matter anymore. "Neptune, shouldn't you thank me? I came here specifically to help Vander Deikun after I found out he invaded Ryugu Palace."
"Hehehe, Hody, you really dare to say that."
At this point, Vander Decken became even more brazen, mocking, "That's what you said when you approached me about cooperating to take down Neptune."
"Is the target Neptune? Hody, you bastard!" Jinbe gritted his teeth.
Hody was his mentor back in Fish-Man District, and had even served in the Fish-Man Island Guard. He never expected that this kid would become so reckless and unruly.
Hody made no attempt to deny it, and said coldly, "Neptune deserves to die! As the king of Fish-Man Island, he allowed humans to land on this island without doing anything!"
Then, a cruel smile crept across his lips. "Just like that disgusting Otohime, you all deserve to die!"
"Hody!!"
Neptune roared, "Shut up!"
He doesn't care about being insulted, but he cannot forgive those who involve his beloved wife, whom he lost four years ago to humans.
Shirahoshi pouted, tears welling up in her eyes.
Four years ago, when her mother died, she saw who the real murderer was.
"Hahahaha!"
Hody laughed heartily, beaming with pride.
What made him happiest was that he was the one who killed that disgusting mermaid, Otohime, but Neptune was unaware of this.
"That's enough of the nonsense, isn't it?"
A somewhat lazy voice came from above.
Hody looked up and saw a huge black ship floating in the water above.
A hole opened in the bottom of the ship, and a man slowly sank down.
Sirius was covered by a membrane, which allowed him to move freely in the water.
He cracked his neck, then looked at Hody. "You're the one who almost gave us a swim in the sea."
"... Black Wolf!!"
Hody's expression froze.
This guy is still alive!
Then he glared at Neptune and Jinbe with intense resentment, "It was you! You were the ones who saved them!"
Jinbe's lips twitched. "I'd like to do that, but I didn't have time."
"Don't blame them, the deep sea is nothing to us."
Sirius chuckled. Of course he knew what kind of Fish-Man this was and what he had done, but it didn't matter; it was none of his business.
There's only one reason they're going to cause trouble for Hody.
"You've disturbed my enjoyment of the banquet, are you ready to die?"
"You're the one who's going to die!"
The next instant, Hody pulled a handful of red pills from his waist pocket and stuffed them into his mouth.
Although we don't know how strong the so-called Pirate Emperor really is, he's definitely stronger than Jinbe!
So now we have to fight tooth and nail!
That is--
Upon seeing the drugs in Hody's hand, Neptune was horrified. "Energy Steroids? The theft four years ago... was it this guy who made them?"
Jinbe shook his head.
He knew what the Energy Steroids was.
After eating one, your strength will double; after eating another, it will double again.
As long as the body can withstand it, strength can be increased indefinitely.
But the opponent is the Pirate Emperor.
"Witness the power of the Fish-Man!!"
Hody's body swelled to at least twice its size, his muscles bulged, and he was as white as paper. In contrast, his eyes were as red as blood.
His body moved through the water like Inazuma, his trident aimed at Sirius.
"Die, human!!"
He was incredibly fast, so fast that most people couldn't even see him.
But.
Sirius raised his hand, extended it beyond the membrane, and dipped it into the seawater.
"Finger Pistol"
The seawater transformed into bullets, imbued with Haki, piercing through the seawater in an instant.
"Forehead!"
Hody suddenly stopped moving.
Blood spurted from his mouth.
He lowered his head in disbelief.
A large hole had appeared in his chest at some point, and blood was flowing out continuously.
"How pathetic."
Sirius's gaze was calm.
Jinbe sighed.
Hody's body began to fall, and Shirahoshi stared blankly up at it.
