The crew members were so frightened by Vander Decken's appearance that they began to maneuver the ship in a hurry, trying to escape from this land of death.
However, at this moment, a calm voice seemed to ignore the barrier of the sea water and the huge bubble film, and sounded directly deep in everyone's soul.
The voice was not loud, but it carried an unquestionable and absolute will, like an order from the gods, "All Sea King near Fish-Man Island, listen to my command."
"Kill all humans appearing in the waters near Fish-Man Island at this moment!"
The moment the voice fell, the invisible aura of death suddenly enveloped the flying pirate ship, causing all the pirates on the deck to stop all actions in an instant, as if the pause button had been pressed, and the fear of death emerged in their eyes!
At the same time, from the deep and silent trench below the flying pirate ship, there was an extremely dull roar that seemed to shatter a person's soul!
Boom--
An indescribable ancient pressure surged crazily from the depths of the sea!
The blood on Vander Deken IX's face instantly faded. He lowered his head stiffly and looked at the seawater at his feet.
The originally dark sea area lit up with two rounds of scarlet light that were larger and brighter than searchlights.
That's a pair of eyes!
A giant beast whose size is beyond description in words is rising rapidly from the abyss!
Its huge body stirred up the seawater, forming a huge whirlpool that could swallow the island. Just the water pressure it brought up when it surfaced made the giant Flying Pirate Ship groan under the load.
The next second, a bloody mouth big enough to swallow the entire island broke through the darkness, and under the horrified eyes of Vander Daken IX, swallowed the entire flying pirate ship together with the surrounding seawater!
"This--how is this possible!!!"
At the last moment when he was swallowed by the endless darkness, Vander Deken IX couldn't help but exclaimed, "He can actually command Sea King in the deep sea from Fish-Man Island! Is he the real Poseidon?!"
The giant beast closed its mouth.
The world returns to silence.
Vander Deken and his Flying Pirates became the prey of this Sea King in the blink of an eye.
Within Fish-Man Island, in front of Hard-Shell Tower.
King Neptune, the three princes, and the ministers behind them all raised their heads and stared blankly at the fleeting doomsday scene outside the bubble wrap.
The Sea King only showed one head, and the shadow it cast enveloped the smaller half of the Fish-Man Island.
The oppressive feeling originating from the deepest level of life made all Fish-Man and the mermaids feel suffocated.
Then, they watched helplessly as the giant beast swallowed up the nightmare that had troubled them for many years, then bowed its head respectfully in the direction of Akira, and quietly sank back into the abyss.
The whole process happened in a blink of an eye.
It's so fast that it feels unreal.
Just when everyone was still in huge shock and unable to recover, Akira had already brought Princess Shirahoshi back to Hard-Shell Tower.
He looked at Shirahoshi who was still in shock, smiled gently, and said to Neptune, "The crisis has been resolved. Next, Fish-Man Island can put the national relocation on the agenda."
"Yes! Yes!" King Neptune finally reacted. He looked at his daughter who was unharmed, and then at Akira who was so light and calm. He was so excited that tears filled his eyes, and his huge body was trembling.
He took a step forward and solemnly saluted.
"Lord Marshal's great kindness, Fish-Man Island will never be forgotten! In order to express my gratitude to you, I have ordered someone to prepare a banquet. I also hope that Lord Marshal will appreciate it and lead all the interns to the Ryugu Palace!"
Akira nodded and agreed.
The banquet hall of the Ryugu Palace is brightly lit and dotted with beautiful corals and pearls everywhere, full of dreamy colors.
The graceful mermaid maid shuttled among the guests carrying various delicacies.
Luffy's mouth didn't stop. The plates in front of him were piled as high as a hill. He stretched his hands left and right, and his mouth was full of oil.
"Oh! This fish is so delicious! Sabo! Ace! Try it quickly!"
Sanji has completely entered heaven. He is holding a wine glass and elegantly walking among several beautiful mermaid princesses, with hearts in his eyes.
"Ah, beautiful ladies, your existence is more dazzling than the brightest pearl in the ocean! It is the greatest honor of my life to cook for ladies like you!"
The huge Princess Shirahoshi, because it was the first time to attend such a banquet, still looked a little nervous and scared, huddled alone in the corner, like a pink hill.
Nami, Nojiko and Koala looked at each other and walked over carrying drinks.
"Hello, Princess Shirahoshi!" Nami raised his head and greeted with a smile, "You are really big! Don't be afraid, we are all Lord Marshal's followers."
Nojiko also smiled and said, "The world outside is very exciting. You can see it with your own eyes in the future."
Koala asked curiously, "Princess, I heard that there are many treasures in the Ryugu Palace, is it true?"
Infected by the enthusiasm of the three girls, Princess Shirahoshi's tense body slowly relaxed, and he chatted with them in a low voice, and his huge eyes gradually became radiant.
The atmosphere of the banquet gradually became warm.
Brook took out his violin and played a cheerful song <Binks' Sake>.
"Yo ho ho ho! It's such an honor to be able to play for you in this beautiful Ryugu Palace!"
However, as soon as he played two bars, a disturbing figure jumped onto the dining table.
"SUPER!"
Franky was shirtless, wearing only a pair of briefs, posing in his classic pose, and doing a strange dance on the table.
The whole place was silent for a moment, and then burst into laughter.
"Franky, you idiot! Come down quickly!" Usopp covered his face, feeling embarrassed that he had been thrown 10,000 meters under the sea, "Don't ruin Brook's performance!"
In another corner of the banquet, the atmosphere was a bit tense.
Sanji and Yonji stared at each other with big eyes and small eyes, as if there were electric sparks flickering in the air.
At this moment, Reiju walked over gracefully with two glasses of wine, smiled and said, "We are relatives, we shouldn't be like this."
"I don't have such an inhumane family!" Sanji snorted coldly.
"Failures are not qualified to be my family." Yonji was equally disdainful.
Reiju sighed and had no choice but to bring out the last trump card.
"Lord Marshal values the unity among companions the most. If you cannot get along well with each other, you will definitely be expelled from the navy. Because the current navy does not need soldiers who destroy unity."
Hearing this, Sanji and Yonji's faces froze.
The two reluctantly picked up the wine glasses, clinked them, drank them quickly, and turned their heads at the same time, neither looking at the other.
In a booth not far away, Hawkins was silently playing with his tarot cards.
Trafalgar Law leaned back in his chair, watching this scene, and couldn't help but complain, "Still calculating? With Lord Marshal here, your divination is meaningless!"
Hawkins turned over a card expressionlessly and said calmly, "The meaning of divination is not the result, but the process. Just like traveling, the scenery along the way is the meaning of the journey, not the destination."
The next morning.
The entire Fish-Man Island was mobilized. Under the leadership of King Neptune and the assistance of Jinbe, a mighty nationwide migration officially kicked off.
Akira took the interns to board the internship ship again and went straight to New World.
