Demon King Descends on Fish-Man Island! All Actors Mobilized

A relatively small submarine is diving into the deep sea.

Inside the cabin, Roa stood leisurely by a porthole, manipulating the water flow outside to tease the giant deep-sea fish that swam by.

The big fish had no idea what was happening. The seawater, which used to embrace them like a mother, was now incredibly mischievous, sometimes grabbing their tails and sometimes pulling their heads, forcing them to spin around.

Is Gaban still on Fish-Man Island?

Roa spoke without turning his head.

"Yes."

Behind him, Abel nodded calmly. "I just contacted Morgans, and he said that Gaban has stayed on Fish-Man Island all these years and hasn't left."

Were you waiting for me?

Roa stopped teasing the fish and said with some emotion, "Gaban, he's still an honest man."

Without a doubt, Gaban stayed on that island because of Poseidon. Since he knew Poseidon's true identity, the Roger Pirates were naturally wary of him obtaining this Ancient Weapon.

That's why Gaban stayed on Fish-Man Island.

That should be the case, right? It must have been confirmed early on that Shirahoshi is this generation's Poseidon, which is why she left this behind, right?

It can't just be because Fish-Man Island has many beautiful mermaid ladies, right?

"Should we take care of that guy, Boss?"

Abel's tone was completely calm, as if the guy he was about to eliminate wasn't the third-in-command on the Pirate King's ship, but some insignificant stray dog. "If you wish, I will cut off his head for you."

No rush.

Roa waved his hand slightly, "Let's see what he has to say first."

"Yes."

Abel nodded respectfully.

As the submarine continued its descent, deeper still, into the ocean...

A strange sound suddenly rang out from the pitch-black sea.

"The vanished new king has reappeared; has he come for the sake of our king?"

"The new king has come with malicious intent; we must not allow him to approach the king."

"Stop him! Stop that Demon King who's attacking!"

In the deep sea, enormous shadows converged and moved towards the upper waters, instantly creating huge turbulent currents.

"Um?"

Inside the submarine, Roa suddenly looked up, his handsome face instantly furrowed in worry. "Someone's slandering me behind my back again? Demon King, who are you talking about!"

Is anyone there?

Enel, who had followed Roa to Fish-Man Island like Abel, suddenly focused his attention and, with the aid of electromagnetic waves, expanded his Observation Haki.

It can be said that in that instant, he had a clear understanding of everything happening in a wide area, from the surface of the sea to the bottom.

But.

"I didn't hear anything."

Enel looked at Roa's back with some confusion, "Boss, is someone really talking?"

His Observation Haki is specifically designed for listening to sounds, but at this moment, he couldn't hear a sound at all.

"Oh?"

Roa, who was annoyed by the slander, paused slightly, then remembered that he hadn't used his Observation Haki, and that his Observation Haki couldn't hear people talking in the distance.

So this is

Roa had already guessed it instantly.

His Observation Haki immediately spread out.

"Oh!"

A smile flickered in his eyes and across his face at that moment, and Roa chuckled as he spoke, "A bunch of fish trying to stop me?"

"Fish?"

Enel paused slightly, then he was instantly stunned, "Sea Beast! So many Sea Beasts have gathered here!"

What's going on here?!

"They were probably knights who launched a desperate charge against the Demon King to prevent the princess from being taken away."

Roa said with great interest.

So it was about Voice of All Things.

Has this ability evolved along with my own evolution?

Interesting.

Now we can hear the sounds of Sea Beast completely clearly.

So that means we can already communicate with the Sea Beast, right?

But what's the point?

Is it to use Shirahoshi to subdue the Sea Beast?

Would you consider this a bow version of Aquaman's ability?

Thinking about it that way, it's quite interesting.

"Boss!"

Enel's voice had turned serious. "What should we do?"

If it were on the sea, he wouldn't care how many Sea Beast there were.

The quality of these fish is questionable.

It doesn't take much effort to turn them all into grilled fish.

However, this is in the deep sea, and he cannot use his abilities at will. He has no control over the transmission of lightning in the water, and if he is not careful, the ship will be blown up.

Roa did not answer; instead, he raised his hand to signal Enel to be quiet.

Because he heard the voices of those deep-sea monsters again.

"Go back! Demon King, do not approach our king!"

"This deep sea does not welcome your arrival---"

"Wow, the local Sea Beast are really not very friendly."

Roa chuckled and said, "Want to stop me? Then try and see."

His voice, though barely perceptible, was transmitted through his ability to manipulate sound waves to a certain extent.

Then.

"You... you can understand what we're saying?"

"How is this possible? Could it be that you are Joy Boy of this era?"

His words were filled with utter astonishment.

So, was Joy Boy able to understand it back then?

"No matter who you are, you are not allowed to come near our king!"

"Go back! Demon King, go back to your world!"

Accompanied by a sound that only Roa could hear, one enormous creature after another slowly emerged from the dark depths of the sea.

Wow! What's that?!

Bege, who had also accompanied Roa to Fish-Man Island, couldn't help but exclaim, "So many Sea Beasts, and they're huge!!"

Even Abel couldn't help but feel a little alarmed at this moment.

Those Sea Beast rising from the deep sea below were indeed enormous!

Each one was at least over a kilometer long, with the leading ones even approaching four or five kilometers!

The submarine was as small as a Nezumi compared to these monsters; a slight bump would shatter it to pieces. "Boss!"

Bege screamed in a panic, "What should we do now?"

The boss is indeed incredibly powerful, but they can't ignore the deep sea!

"Go back!!"

Seemingly noticing Bege's panic, the Sea Beast issued a final warning, "Otherwise, we will launch an attack—"

"An attack? Perfect."

Roa simply smiled and nodded, "The Demon King is going to kidnap the princess now, you'd better come and stop him!"

On his forehead, a pair of spiral chair horns rose up.

Then, a massive figure suddenly appeared out of thin air in the water beneath the submarine.

"To deal with monsters like you, of course we need the King of Monsters!"

Roa casually ordered, "Go, Typhon."

A hundred Arlong appeared out of nowhere in the deep sea, roaring.

Its mere roar was enough to create a massive eddy in the deep sea.

A Sea Beast directly facing it was blown away by the vortex.

Then, the king of monsters in Greek mythology suddenly swept across the sea.

Even in the deep sea, and despite being over 100 meters tall, Typhon was still as fast as Inazuma.

No, this monster itself is crackling with Inazuma!

Sharp claws suddenly slashed through the dark depths of the sea in a sharp arc.

Immediately, a tremendous scream echoed throughout the deep sea.

One of the Sea Beast had already been severed by Typhon's claw.

To be honest, Typhon's size looked rather small compared to this monster. The visual effect was like a kitten splitting an adult in two with a single paw!

Because the two sides are simply not on the same level!

Even now, Typhon grabbed the head of a Sea Beast with one hand and its neck with the other, and with a forceful tug, he tore off the head of this Sea Beast, which was more than ten times his size.

Then, the King of Monsters roared in another direction, and a gale swept out, stirring up the seawater and turning it into a huge waterspout, which instantly pierced through the Sea Beast.

It wasn't over yet; the waterspout, undeterred, tore apart several more Sea Beast behind it simultaneously.

"Roar!!"

Typhon roared wildly as it traversed the deep sea.

One Sea Beast after another was torn apart by him.

Only the largest Sea Beast were able to put up a slight resistance, but even that was only due to their thick hides. They were still torn open with huge wounds in an instant, and after two more attacks, they could only turn into pieces in vain.

This was a blatant massacre; the screams of the Sea Beast filled Roa's ears.

A few minutes later, it finally quieted down.

All the Sea Beast had been reduced to a pile of fragments.

The deep sea was now stained crimson with blood.

"Too bad, it seems you can't stop me then."

Roa chuckled, "No one can stop it."

The Monster King, having slain all the monsters that blocked his path, returned and carefully carried the submarine, accelerating its descent into the deep sea.

Since we've already summoned it, let's just have it accelerate the submarine.

At the same time.

Fish-Man Island.

Dragon Palace.

"Waaaaaah!!"

A sharp cry suddenly shattered the silence of the castle floating above the Fish-Man Island.

"Shirahoshi? What's wrong? Shirahoshi!"

A woman with blond hair, wearing an orange robe with a fish-scale pattern, and a gentle face strode into her daughter's room.

On a bed that is far too spacious for most people, a cute little girl is crying loudly.

This is a girl with pink hair, who looks about twelve or thirteen years old. Her long pink hair is tied into two buns on top of her head, resembling rabbit ears.

The girl has a dreamlike, adorable appearance, but also a dreamlike, enormous size.

The blonde woman, whose height was no different from that of an average person, looked as small as a baby in front of her.

However, the two are mother and daughter.

"What's wrong, Shirahoshi?"

The blonde woman, Neptune's wife, Queen Otohime of the Ryugu Kingdom, climbed into bed, quickly went to her daughter's side, and patted her lower back with concern, "Did you have a nightmare?"

"Mother! How scary!"

The girl rubbed her eyes with both hands, large tears streaming uncontrollably down her face. "There are so many screams!"

They're telling me that a terrible Demon King has arrived!

"Demon King?"

Queen Otohime's expression changed, and she subconsciously asked, "Was it a nightmare you had, Shirahoshi?"

It wasn't that she didn't trust her daughter; it was just that the title "Demon King" seemed to only appear in the fairy tales she had told Shirahoshi when she was little.

"No! It's not a dream!!"

The girl suddenly clutched her chest in anguish, her dreamlike, exquisite face turning deathly pale with inexplicable pain. "I can still hear them—they are wailing in agony."

Otohime's expression immediately turned serious.

She is a natural-born Awakening Observation Haki.

It possesses an exceptionally unique Observation Haki.

They can easily sense other people's emotions.

At that moment, she could clearly sense the fear and unease in her daughter's heart.

What exactly happened?

Could it be—just as Mr. Yam said—that Shirahoshi, as the mermaid princess, has truly Awakening that ability?

Is this really the child?

Are the Sea Beast talking to her?

Wrong!

Not speaking!

It's a warning!

Who is it?

Demon King!

Who has arrived?

No!

We need to tell Mr. Yam about this as soon as possible and follow his advice!

At the same time.

Fish-Man Island, Coral Hill.

This is a famous tourist destination on Fish-Man Island, and the most prosperous port town in the Ryugu Kingdom.

The most famous café in this area is called Mermaid Cafe.

The coffee shop is run by a beautiful mermaid named Shyarly.

She is also a well-known prophet on Fish-Man Island.

She wasn't just pretending to be a fortune teller; she was a true prophet with a 100% accuracy rate in her predictions.

But perhaps because she had witnessed too much misfortune through prophecy, she gradually stopped predicting the future for others.

Of course, she would occasionally try to predict the future and take precautions against possible disasters.

The same is true today.

In the bustling coffee shop, a large, fair-skinned mermaid sat behind the bar, intently watching the crystal ball in front of her.

Then.

Thump!

The crystal ball suddenly fell to the ground.

The coffee shop staff and customers all instinctively looked over.

Then everyone saw that the already pale face of the most famous prophet of Fish-Man Island was now completely bloodless, her whole body trembling uncontrollably, her forehead and back soaked in cold sweat. "Disaster! Disaster is coming! Quickly tell Neptune, whatever you do, don't refuse him, whatever you do, don't refuse that Demon King!!"

The café fell silent instantly.

Later.

Mr. Yam, the third-in-command of the Roger Pirates, arrived in a hurry. Looking at Princess Shirahoshi Gaban, whose face was streaked with tears, he spoke gravely, "Princess Shirahoshi, tell me exactly what happened!"

So the little princess repeated everything, sobbing.

Gaban immediately pursed his lips.

Mr. Yam,

Somewhat alarmed, Neptune, the ruler of the Ryugu Kingdom, said urgently, "Shirahoshi... she really is—"

"Um."

Gaban nodded solemnly, "This child has indeed Awakening the power of Sea King Poseidon!"

"I never expected it to actually be this child!"

He was also somewhat alarmed.

Is this timid little princess actually the vessel for the Sea King?

The power to destroy the entire world resides within this tender body!

"So, those sounds were from Sea Beast?"

Neptune's voice suddenly became more urgent, "Was their warning also true?"

"It's probably true."

Gaban took a deep breath. "It must be Roa!"

In his mind, the only one who could be called Demon King, to the point that even the Sea Beast had to issue a warning, was Roa!

It couldn't be Imu, could it?

How could that guy possibly make a special trip to Fish-Man Island?

"Roa!"

Neptune's body trembled instantly, his expression turning incredibly grim. "The Calamity Roa!"

He came from that era himself, so he naturally knows what that name means!

Even Fisher Tiger had made a special trip to the New World to avoid angering Roa.

"Then let's hide Shirahoshi quickly!"

Neptune quickly interjected, "That Roa guy is extremely dangerous, isn't he? Wouldn't it be terrible if Shirahoshi fell into his hands?"

"No!"

Gaban shook his head immediately, "In that case, Fish-Man Island would be doomed!"

"Shirahoshi's existence is no secret. Hiding her would only make things more obvious, and would only tell Roa that she's special! Roa isn't stupid!"

He said solemnly, "The situation might not be so bad. Shirahoshi's abilities only Awakening today, so Roa shouldn't have known beforehand!"

Although Roa probably slaughtered some Sea Beast, he likely couldn't understand Sea Beast language!

"He might have come because of his previous contact with Fisher Tiger!"

"Poseidon is definitely a mermaid princess, but a mermaid princess is not necessarily Poseidon!"

"As long as Princess Shirahoshi doesn't show anything special, we can fool Roa!"

Gaban looked at the sobbing princess with a serious expression. "Princess Shirahoshi, now, your uncle needs to give you some acting lessons!"

The little princess looked at him with a somewhat blank expression.

Then, Gaban turned to Queen Otohime beside him, "Your Highness, when necessary, we'll have to rely on your special abilities!"

This princess can forcefully influence others with her emotions, so even if the little princess's acting skills are not up to par, she can use her power to forcefully improve the little princess's acting skills.

"Good!"

Queen Otohime nodded solemnly.

"To protect Shirahoshi and Fish-Man Island, everything must proceed as usual!"

Gaban said seriously, "We can't let Roa discover any flaws!"

"Report! Your Majesty, Jinbe Yamato Fisher Tiger have arrived!"

A guard rushed in to report.

"You've come at the perfect time!"

Gaban quickly said, "Let them in right away!"

These two guys are indispensable for putting on a good show!

However, Fisher Tiger, who arrived in a hurry, immediately said, "Neptune, you've heard—? Oh, Mr. Yam, you're here too! Are you here because of Shyarly's prophecy as well?"

"Prophecy?"

Gaban was pleased; of course, he also knew of the great prophet who was always right.

Seeing Fisher Tiger and Jinbe's anxious expressions, a sense of foreboding rose from the bottom of his heart.

What prophecy?

He instinctively pressed for an answer.

Jinbe took a deep breath and said seriously, "Madame Shyarly said that disaster is coming!"

"What?"

Shyarly's predictions are always 100% accurate!
