Hody Jones

Fish-Man Island is not entirely underwater; it is an island surrounded by bubbles, divided into land and lakes. There is no water on the land, but there are lakes everywhere, filled with seawater. Many buildings are in the water, such as some of the Fish-Man's dwellings.

On Fish-Man Island, structures on the water are even rarer and more expensive.

This is because even though the Sun Tree Eve can transmit sunlight, there will be less sunlight underwater, and the rock walls will block it, so the deeper you go, the scarcer the sunlight will become.

On land, transportation consisted of a combination of bubbles, sea fish, and carrying vessels.

Bubbles provide buoyancy, sea fish provide power, carrying people forward in the air.

"Fish-Man Island looks beautiful."

On Mr. Christmas, I sat near the window, gazing down with a longing expression.

Heckle said helplessly, "But this beautiful place is probably going to be destroyed by the president soon."

Ace still frowned, puzzled, and said, "Why would the Fish-Man Kingdom attack us? Especially since Fish-Man Island is under Dad's protection."

Cecilia said lazily, "Looks like you've been betrayed."

The people had different expressions as they sat quietly in the cabin and waited. Before long, the Phoenix Tail Ship slowly arrived, and then the cabin door opened, and figures walked out one after another.

Ace immediately shouted, "I want to see Jinbe!"

"Jinbe?"

The First Prince Samester, said with a smile, "He went to hunt you down a long time ago and left yesterday."

"You're hunting me down?"

Ace was taken aback and asked, puzzled, "Why is he chasing me?"

"Don't ask so many questions."

"Everyone stand up," said the Hody Jones.

Ace and the others had to stand up and were led off the Phoenix Tail Ship. They walked along the road and entered a large gate, which led to a long corridor.

They entered the corridor and then went down the stairs to the basement. Hody Jones immediately said, "Follow me and lock those handcuffed with ordinary handcuffs on the first floor."

"Yes."

Some Fish-Man followed the Hody Jones and disappeared on the first floor.

Meanwhile, Fukaboshi led Ace and other Senior Agent, along with two Intermediate Agent, into the second underground level and reached the end.

Gara gara.

The thick iron gate was opened by the First Prince Samester, and a putrid smell wafted out.

"Go in."

Fukaboshi pushed Ace inside, and Cecilia, Heckle, Vivi, and the others were all pushed in as well.

"Ah."

Vivi fell directly to the ground, only feeling that the ground was wet.

"Vivi, are you alright?" Cecilia asked with concern.

"Fine."

Vivi sat up and watched as everyone was pushed into the prison.

"Stay here and behave yourself."

Fukaboshi closed the cell door and then left.

As the Fukaboshi departed, the house sank into the shore, and Mr. Christmas complained, "So dirty."

"We'll have to stay here for now," Heckle said helplessly.

"It's all your fault for listening to Jinbe and believing in Fish-Man Island." Mr. Christmas glared at Ace with dissatisfaction.

But Ace didn't move. Instead, he frowned, looked into the distance, and said, "This place is huge."

"Big?" Alken asked, puzzled. "What are you talking about?"

Vivi straightened up and said, "It is indeed very large; this room is quite spacious."

"Not only that, there are other people too." Ace looked into the distance.

"Have we been discovered?"

A sound came from afar, then a crackling sound appeared, followed by a cluster of flames and a figure emerging from the distance.

"Ace has been captured?"

Behind Fish-Man District, beside a shipwreck, the tall Hody sat in a chair, looking at the Giant Beast in the distance, then at Hachi in front of him, and suddenly burst into laughter, "I never thought that I would get all of this so easily."

Hyouzou also said, "It seems King Neptune made the worst decision ever."

"That's right. I couldn't make up my mind before, but now that Neptune has betrayed Whitebeard ..."

Hody stood up and said, "This way we can rightfully overthrow Neptune's regime, rescue Ace as a pledge of loyalty, and gain Whitebeard's protection."

"So you're planning to rebel?" Hachi looked at Hody with a cold expression.

Hody looked at Hachi and said, "This is not a rebellion, it is an uprising."

"Good."

A tall, black-and-white figure in the distance said, "King Neptune is becoming increasingly incompetent. He wants to lead us to live on the sea and has betrayed Whitebeard. Fish-Man Island will be led to the abyss by him sooner or later. We are just correcting him."

"Zeo is right."

Hody looked at Hachi and said, "For the future of Fish-Man Island, we have to do this. You saw it yourself, he kidnapped Ace."

"Taking Ace away doesn't mean we're going to rebel."

Hachi looked at Hody and said, "All I need to do is save Ace."

"Is it possible?"

Hody looked at Hachi and said, "Jinbe isn't here. Can you and that Giant Beast defeat the Royal Army?"

"We can't do it," Hachi said, shaking his head.

Hody said, "Join us, and you can save Ace and leave with King Neptune's head to see Whitebeard."

Hachi opened its mouth and looked at the Giant Beast in the distance, Giant Beast was lying there eating a sea fish.

"Senior Hachi, you are Brother Arlong's subordinate."

Hody said, "Brother Arlong perished in the East China Sea. Have you forgotten his ideals? He dreamed of building a powerful Fish-Man empire. And we are now incredibly close to that goal."

Upon hearing this, Hachi glanced at the Giant Beast again, nodded, and said, "Alright, I can choose to join you."

Hody jumped up and said, "Very good. With the help of Senior Hachi Ba and the Giant Beast, our chances of winning this time have increased significantly."

"Jinbe has left, Neptune has attacked Ace, and Hachi and the Giant Beast have joined us." A Fish-Man nearby said, "It's truly a stroke of luck for Hody."

"That's right."

Hody grinned, saying, "I was hesitant at first, but then the opportunity presented itself. Hahaha, I'm so lucky."

As Hody laughed, the surrounding Fish-Man burst into laughter.

Hody waved his hand and said, "Contact Decken and have his Flying Pirates get here as soon as possible. Delay could cause problems, so we need to launch our attack quickly."

"Yes." A Fish-Man accepted the order and left.

Hody looked at Hachi and said, "In order to prevent the news from leaking out, please stay here, Hachi. If you want anything, just have someone else do it."

"Good."

Hachi nodded, looked at the Fish-Man around him, and said, "However, I need to receive messages from Ace at all times."

"Don't worry, we have a spy in the Dragon Palace who will pass on the information. We'll notify Senior Hachi immediately if there's any news," said a tall Fish-Man not far away.

"That's good."

Hachi nodded and said, "I hope you can arrange for me and the Giant Beast to be in a remote place. It doesn't like places that are too chaotic."

"Alright, alright, Daruma, take Hachi to the north of the shipwreck and let them rest for a while."

Hody immediately said, and the short Cigar Daruma Shark Fish-Man walked up to Hachi, "Come with me."

Hachi followed closely behind, while Xia Qiu slowly caught up as well.

"So many Fish-Man."

Xia Qiu's mouth watered. "The Flying Pirates haven't arrived yet, so let's let Ace and the others stay in the prison a little longer."
