Easy Victory, The Fish-Man Situation

"Don't panic, we have the numerical advantage!"

As one Fish-Man Pirates after another was 'forcibly' awakened and given Energy Steroids, its terrifying power unleashed their potential, drained their lives, and at the same time, allowed them to finally regain a little 'confidence'.

"Sniper team,"

"Attack that giant Mermaid Princess, Shirahoshi!"

Since those human pirates seem so formidable, let's just attack Shirahoshi, who has no fighting ability! — Although this world doesn't have idioms like 'besieging a point to attack reinforcements,' the same strategy still applies.

"Heh heh heh, you actually want to hurt the Mermaid Princess that the world admires—"

Facing the ranged troops carrying rocket launchers, Brook transformed into a streak of light and dashed away at high speed! The Revive-Revive Fruit no Mi (Revive-Revive Fruit) not only turned him into a skeleton, but also made him the fastest member of the Straw Hat crew under normal circumstances.

That's right, Brook is the fastest in the Straw Hat crew! You should know that when they first met in the Thriller Bark, Brook was already able to perform the 'water-skimming' skill at high speed.

Second place goes to Sanji, followed by Luffy, Roman, Chopper... Franky is the slowest. Of course, this is the speed under normal conditions. If Luffy were in Luffy Gear Second or Roman were moving at Wind-Driven Lightning, they would immediately leave everyone else behind!

By the way, Zoro's speed... he's lucky if he doesn't get lost.

The 'Soul Solid' in the cane was unsheathed at high speed, and the friction between the blade and the scabbard produced a low, melodious musical Melody that spread out first, eerie and sinister, yet also carrying a strange passion.

"Carnival Night— "

This is a sword technique developed by Brook, combining music and the Revive-Revive Fruit). It can produce a sound that pulls people into illusions when the sword is drawn. Used to control enemies, then:

A figure flashed by, and Brook had already passed through the crowd, standing behind a group of long-range rocket launcher Fish-Man, slowly sheathing his sword into his cane.

"Fantasia!"

Puff puff puff puff—

A series of tearing sounds rang out behind them. Not only did the group of Fish-Man who fell at the same time not notice when Brook swung his sword!

!?

"Air force, attack from the air!"

Since the enemy swordsman was so skilled, the Fish-Man immediately changed their strategy. —You're just a skeleton, you can't possibly fly, can you?

"Geppo!"

Brook can't fly, but Sanji has already mastered Geppo to the point of it being second nature.

"Get back there!"

The legs fell like shooting stars, and the feet, which were constantly rubbing together, eventually emitted a strong seven-colored light, forming a dazzling continuous spectrum!

"Burning Iron Pot Spectrum!"

Hey, take it easy! Don't turn him into mincemeat...

In an instant, the group of Fish-Man had just taken off crashed down at an even faster speed, sinking into the floor! It's quite fitting to call it a 'burning iron pot'.

"Shirahoshi, I am your knight~~"

"Thank you, Mr. Sanji!"

"Damn it... the Ironclad Unit! Charge!!"

If ranged attacks don't work, and aerial attacks don't work, then we'll break through head-on with our formidable defenses! A group of Fish-Man wielding massive steel tower shields thundered in like bulldozers, causing Zoro to sigh.

It's boring.

They didn't even bother using their 'skills,' casually slashing and hacking with their twin swords. Those so-called Ironclad Unit were...

Pfft

"How is this possible?!"

"They can slice steel like butter..."

"Hahaha, you guys are having a lot of fun, count me in!"

As Luffy ran towards them laughing, the Straw Hat crew had only one thing to say:

"Get away from me!"

If Luffy were to Luffy, there would be no chance for them. The same applies to Roman; these two have such exaggerated area-of-effect damage that they could wipe out all enemies with a single attack.

However, unlike Luffy, who loves excitement, Roman is studying what he's holding:

"Is this the Energy Steroids E. S?"

It seems no different from a cold capsule. But the advanced technology of this world is... amazing! They can even make something that drains your life force like this. My previous life's 'Angel Dust' is utterly pathetic. Even Alabasta's 'Mighty Water' pales in comparison. What a pity...

This banned drug is clearly something used by the 'royal family' to train assassins; it's useless against true powerhouses.

"Tsk, they didn't even include me in the fight..."

Luffy, puffing up his cheeks, looked at the white-haired Hody Jones and clenched his fist.

"You can still stand up? -- Looks like your resilience is worth hundreds of millions."

As Luffy directly towards Hody Jones, the New Fish-Man Pirates' executives, who had already recovered from their shock, immediately blocked his way. However:

"Discharge - 30 Million Volt Thunder Bird!"

Plasma boiling, lightning radiating—

A giant phoenix-shaped bird formed of lightning spread its wings and roared in, suddenly swooping out to meet the Fish-Man cadres.

Crackle!...

The deafening lightning was dazzling! It unleashed a thunderous roar, like a tsunami, that echoed across the sky. The shockwave reverberated throughout the island, causing all the onlookers around the plaza to pale in shock!

Countless bolts of Electric Light surged and spread wildly, causing the earth to crumble and rocks to split wherever they passed! A nearby coral structure was struck by a Lightning Flash as thick as a bucket and instantly shattered into dust.

"What... what is this?!"

"Wow, so strong!!"

"This woman... is practically like a goddess, but—"

"That attack just now, did it even affect their captain...?"

However, as the leaping Electric Light dissipated, only two charred members of the New Fish-Man Pirates — the Hammerhead Shark Fish-Man Dosun and the Giant Squid Fish-Man Ikaros— slowly collapsed, while Luffy:

"How come you're completely unharmed?!"

There's no such thing as immunity to 'teammate damage' in this world. The lightning Nami summoned—while ordinary Fish-Man don't know what it is (most Fish-Man don't leave Fish-Man Island), Hody Jones certainly knows what it is:

Thunder!

One of the most violent forces in nature!

Now, however, she submits to the hands of a petite human girl with orange hair...

"Hehehe, because I'm Rubber Human."

Faced with Luffy's grinning Luffy, Hody Jones instinctively took another step back.

Monster!

One or two of them!

These aren't even human, are they?

How could someone so strong be human? They're all monsters in human skin!

If the ocean were filled with these kinds of 'humans,' then... In the midst of the chaos, Hody Jones's eyes caught sight of Roman, standing with his arms crossed and no intention of intervening, next to the orange-haired girl who wielded lightning. He read something in Roman's indifferent eyes:

That's right, you Fish-Man—

It's very weak.

!?

Bang!

In that instant, Hody Jones felt a numbness in his cheek, saw stars before his eyes, and was sent flying through the air. A burning, metallic taste rose in his throat, and several sharp teeth flew out!

A series of sharp pains came from behind, and a series of loud crashes filled my ears, clearly indicating that the coral structure behind me had been damaged once again.

"Hello, it's me—"

Luffy as he punched Hody Jones away.

"An opponent you can distract?"

········

Goodness gracious, this isn't even a fight, it's practically a kindergarten-level thrashing! While Fish-Man are naturally stronger than humans, their potential is... well...

Of the Fish-Man on Fish-Man Island, besides Jinbe, the only other person who has mastered Haki is probably Aladdin, the current second-in-command of the Sun Pirates and the future third captain.

With such strength, if Fish-Man Island weren't located in the deep sea thousands of meters below, the entire race would probably have already become slaves and playthings.

"What a pity, Fisher Tiger."

"That Fish-Man hero?"

Roman nodded in response to Nami's question.

"If Fisher Tiger hadn't died, perhaps Fish-Man Island could have truly achieved 'peaceful diplomatic relations'."

"Fisher Tiger's Sun Pirates are the Fish-Man's 'fist'; while Otohime's propositions are the Fish-Man's 'diplomacy'. With the two of them working together, they can definitely 'promote peace through fighting, promote peace through negotiation, and combine fighting and negotiation.' This is the path to peace."

That's right, peace is never something that is negotiated, but something that is fought!

When the Celestial Dynasty was first established in its previous life, its international standing was not much better than that of Fish-Man Island now. At that time, the Celestial Dynasty was truly a "barbarian country" and a "desert of civilization."

If it weren't for the selfless efforts to block the multinational coalition at the 38th parallel and inflict a painful blow on the arrogant 'civilized world,' where would the five permanent members of the Security Council be?

Afterwards, it actively established diplomatic relations and courted Third World countries to form a bloc; otherwise, how could it have secured its position as one of the world's five major powers?

Being good at fighting only makes one a barbarian.

Talks alone are nothing but a sign of weakness.

Only a combination of fighting and negotiation can be the true path for a country. However:

"Fisher Tiger's death caused the Sun Pirates to split into several factions. Arlong, who exploited your hometown, belonged to the extreme side, while Jinbe belonged to the moderate side."

"If Fisher Tiger were here, he could certainly have suppressed these dissenting opinions. But he's dead, and because of his death, the Fish-Man have once again come to hate humans, even causing that guy—"

Roman pointed to Hody Jones, who was being beaten to a pulp by Luffy.

"A conspiracy to murder Otohime, who had called for peace, led to a complete breakdown in relations Fish-Man and humans, resulting in the situation we see today..."

To be honest, Roman was also quite speechless about Fish-Man Island.

Because of Princess Otohime, King Neptune's family treated everything with a "peaceful" attitude. Even though Shirahoshi knew that Hody Jones was her mother's killer, she chose to keep the secret to fulfill her mother's dying wish...

As for Hody Jones and his ilk, they grew up amidst the carnage and verbal attacks of Fish-Man rebelling against humans; their hearts had long been tainted with darkness. They'd do anything for the sake of 'the greater good'...

If the two sides could unite, demonstrating their strength while simultaneously negotiating and establishing diplomatic relations, perhaps Fish-Man Island could also...

"Roman, what are you laughing at?"

Roman shook his head at Nami's words.

"I just had a ridiculous idea:"

"Ultimately, this world depends on the 'mood' of the strong. Whitebeard was able to maintain peace on Fish-Man Island for years with a single word. Unless there are four or five Jinbe with that level of fighting power, the problems on Fish-Man Island will never be solved. Unless—"

Unless someone capable of changing the world speaks up to protect Fish-Man Island!

So:

Roman glanced at Jinbe, who was fighting back and forth with several grunts. He had staked everything, and the future of Fish-Man Island, on Luffy.

Just like Shanks' arm! So:

Luffy, can you really defeat those eyes?

No, we will definitely defeat her! That woman who has ruled this world for eight hundred years.

Imu!

P. S.: Given Oda to drag things out, I've decided to make Imu a woman from the start. Anyway, at Oda's pace, I reckon he won't even have a chance to contradict me before I finish writing...

By the way, these few days are double the monthly votes, so I'd like to ask for some votes~~
