After Hody Jones finished speaking, Shirahoshi could no longer hold back her tears, and she roared,
"I won't allow you to talk about Mother like that! She's clearly great!"
Shirahoshi's voice carried a peculiar fluctuation, seemingly some kind of signal.
Before long, nine terrifying figures appeared in the sky above Fish-Man Island. They were nine giant Sea King, each over five thousand meters long and with different appearances.
Nine giant Sea King surrounded Fish-Man Island, which, enveloped in a bubble membrane, looked like a slightly larger ball to them.
Their eyes, peering through the paomo (a type of flatbread), were fixed on the weeping Shirahoshi, seemingly waiting for her to calm down.
The people in the square were completely stunned. The things they had experienced today were more and more outrageous than the last, and some of the weaker ones had even fainted.
King Neptune and Jinbe were serious. They knew that these giant Sea King had been summoned by Shirahoshi's cries, a power she had used when she was six years old.
Kalifa and Ain recovered quickly after a brief shock, knowing that with Senga there, these giant creatures were not so scary.
Senga looked up at the nine giant Sea King in the sky, and couldn't help but marvel at their exaggerated size.
There was one more of these giant Sea King than in the anime, perhaps because Shirahoshi's emotional fluctuations were even stronger than in the anime.
After watching for a while, Senga withdrew his gaze, and with a thought, a huge Yama's face appeared behind him.
Having achieved his goal, Hody Jones was no longer of any value, Senga dispelled the Genjutsu surrounding him.
Once he recovered, Hody Jones collapsed to the ground like a lump of mud, his blood staining the platform red. It was quite remarkable that he had managed to hold on until now.
Hody Jones struggled to lift his head, looking at the giant Sea King in the sky, and murmured, Tianlai Novel Network)
"It's that Shirahoshi again!"
His voice grew fainter and fainter; clearly, he was nearing death.
But Senga had no intention of letting him die so easily, and used her Mystical Palm Technique to temporarily stop the bleeding.
Hody Jones was completely baffled by Senga's actions, but he wasn't naive enough to believe that Senga was being kind and sparing his life.
What happened next indeed confirmed his guess.
Suddenly, a terrifyingly large face appeared behind Senga, with eyes just like his own.
This was Senga using the power of the Hell Realm to summon Yama, who immediately opened his huge, black mouth upon appearing.
He grabbed Hody Jones and, to his horrified gaze, tossed him into the jaws of the King of Hell like trash.
After Hody Jones was thrown in by Senga, Yama immediately shut his mouth and began to chew vigorously.
For a moment, the sounds of Yama chewing and Hody Jones's screams echoed throughout the entire square, and even the giant Sea King in the sky couldn't help but turn its gaze toward Senga.
Shirahoshi, who was crying, stopped when she heard Hody Jones's scream. She sobbed and looked up at the platform, only to find that Hody Jones had disappeared.
Senga flashed and appeared in front of Shirahoshi.
His body floated up, and he reached out to wipe away the tears that remained on Shirahoshi's face, speaking softly.
"Don't cry, Shirahoshi. I've sent Hody Jones to hell. Your mother's revenge is complete."
"Lord Senga!!!"
Looking at Senga, Shirahoshi's tears, which she had managed to stop, welled up again. She grabbed Senga and burst into tears.
Senga put one arm around Shirahoshi's neck and gently patted her head with the other, continuing,
"You've endured a lot of hardship these past years, haven't you? It must have been cruel of you for Queen Otohime to ask you not to reveal the truth. I hope my actions will make you feel a little better."
Shirahoshi didn't speak, but cried loudly, as if she wanted to release all the grievances she had held back over the years.
King Neptune stood silently beside the two. From Senga's words, he learned that Shirahoshi had already known the truth about Queen Otohime's death.
Recalling Shirahoshi's experiences over the years, Neptune was also moved to tears.
The nine Sea King above Fish-Man Island were left there, feeling somewhat superfluous.
They wanted to leave, but they hadn't even exchanged a single word with the "King," so leaving like this wouldn't be appropriate.
One of the Sea King, resembling a pufferfish, couldn't help but let out a strange sound, a unique way for them to communicate with the "king".
"Your Majesty, is there anything else we can do for you?"
Hearing the Sea King's voice, Shirahoshi raised her head in confusion, looking at Senga and asking in bewilderment,
"Lord Senga, have you heard any sounds?"
Senga shook his head. He had noticed the voice coming from the giant Sea King, but it was just a voice, and he didn't know what it was trying to convey.
Shirahoshi looked up at the nine giant Sea King in the sky. These creatures, which would be terrifying to ordinary people, did not evoke any fear in her; instead, she felt unusually calm.
Senga also looked up at the sky, and the nine Sea King noticed Senga presence.
They were already somewhat curious about the man being held in the "King's" arms, and now that Senga looked up, they immediately focused their attention on Senga's face.
They don't understand human aesthetics, so they don't have any particular feelings about Senga's handsome face.
However, when they noticed Senga's Rinnegan, their nine large faces surprisingly showed expressions of terror in a very human way.
The nine Sea King simultaneously lost their voices.
"These... these are the same eyes as that person's!?"
Although Senga couldn't understand what they were saying, she could roughly guess from their expressions that they were behaving this way because they had seen her Rinnegan.
He asked Shirahoshi,
"Shirahoshi, what are they saying?"
"They say Lord Senga's eyes are just like that person's."
"That person? Ask them who that person is."
"Um."
Shirahoshi immediately relayed Senga's question to the giant Sea King in the sky, but the response she received was...
"Your Majesty, it's too early for you to know of that person's existence. We can only tell you that you'd better stay away from the human in your arms, for he will lead this world to destruction!"
Hearing that these Sea Kings were telling her to stay away from Senga, Shirahoshi immediately became unhappy and shouted,
"What are you talking about?! Lord Senga is not the kind of person you're describing, he's a good person!"
Senga was given a "friend zone" card by Shirahoshi just like that, and the corner of his mouth twitched.
But after learning the contents of the Sea King' words from Shirahoshi, Senga narrowed his eyes, his gaze locking onto the nine giant Sea King overhead, and a cold voice emanated from his mouth.
"They're just a few large animals. Aren't you being a little too arrogant?"
