Invasion of Fish-Man Street

Fish-Man Street, which was already in a state of chaos, was completely transformed into a battlefield filled with shouts of battle after the Buggy Pirates invaded.

These New Fish-Man Pirates, composed of Fish-Man, were naturally much stronger than ordinary Fish-Man civilians. However, they could only suffer repeated defeats against the vicious Tomoe crew, who were originally imprisoned in Impel Down and struggling on the brink of life and death every day. They appeared utterly vulnerable.

Knowing they were outmatched, the Fish-Man either fled in fear or fought desperately, but as the pirates' blades fell, they collapsed unconscious to the ground.

Hammond held his iron rod in front of him, but was still knocked back by a katana swung vertically by a ferocious-looking pirate. The pirate continued to charge forward relentlessly, and several Fish-Man thugs hurriedly tried to fend off the pirate's attacks to buy Hammond a breather. However, their encirclement was ineffective, and they quickly fell into a disadvantageous position, unable to hold out for long.

Hadmond rubbed his numb hand, glanced at the other battlefields from afar, and muttered resentfully, "We clearly have a huge numerical advantage, and our strength is ten times theirs... why are we still no match for these damned humans?!"

"Get out of the way! Get out of the way!!"

Dosun, the Twin-Headed Fish-Man and a member of the New Fish-Man Pirates, wielded a massive hammer and roared as he smashed it down on the pirate, sending him flying and crashing through the wall of a brick house.

"Brother Dosun!!" The Fish-Man thugs were overjoyed to see their savior. "You've come to save us!"

"Damn humans!" Dosun gasped for breath, watching with great displeasure as the pirate emerged from the shattered wall, blood streaming from his forehead. At the same time, six or seven more human pirates surrounded him, discussing how to deal with and divide the spoils like hunters eyeing their prey.

"Is this person an official?"

"It seems like taking down the cadre would be a major achievement!"

"Let's split the credit then, haha!"

Upon hearing their conversation, Dosun flew into a rage, swinging his hammer wildly, yelling, "What do you humans take me for? Die, all of you!"

The group immediately engaged in battle. Soon after, several more pirates rushed over, and Hammond and many Fish-Man pirates joined the fray, trying their best to relieve the pressure on Dosun.

South side of Fish-Man Street.

The swaying Hyouzou octopus held eight finely crafted katana in its tentacles. In a flash, it passed four or five pirates in front of it, wielding the swords with swift movements. Then, with faltering steps, it raised a sake jug and poured sake into its mouth.

Four or five pirates seemed to be frozen in time, remaining motionless for a second before suddenly collapsing to the ground.

"So he's a swordsman..." Cabaji suddenly appeared in front of Hyouzou, wiped the blood off the blade of Sakura Blizzard, and looked up at the other man.

"Aren't you one too?" Hyouzou said, his voice slurred with drunkenness, but the fleeting glint in his eyes revealed a clarity that surpassed that of anyone else.

"Let's give it a try... Wind Sickle Weasel!"

With a slight upward movement of his fingers gripping the hilt, Sakura Blizzard unleashed a horizontal slash, the strike creating a whistling wind that roared towards Hyouzou.

The flush on Hyouzou's face from the slight intoxication faded instantly, and the eight swords were combined from all directions, held in front of him.

Clang!

The fierce slash forced him back six or seven steps. Before he could even prepare himself, the Cabaji blade hurtled towards him. He parried again, trying to use the numerical advantage of his weapons to hold his opponent back before launching a fatal counterattack.

But after exchanging a few blows, as he became more and more sober, he realized that his opponent was not only unexpectedly strong, but also possessed a strength and speed that he had never encountered before in his life. The advantage in the number of weapons could not be converted into an advantage in the battle, and instead, he was deeply at a disadvantage.

Cabaji brandished his knife, a slight smile creeping onto his gloomy face. "Not bad... much stronger than those weaklings we encountered before!"

The eastern part of Fish-Man Street.

Here, the Fish-Man's losses were even more severe, with Fish-Man corpses scattered everywhere on the ground. Three wounded New Fish-Man Pirates members were trapped here— Daruma, Zeo, and Ikaros.

Leading the group of pirates who surrounded the group of people were Moses August, Tink, and Louis Carl, the three captains of Buggy's fleet, along with several of their combat captains.

The New Fish-Man Pirates' officers tried to break through the encirclement, but found themselves completely unable to do so, instead ending up badly injured. They then realized that something was terribly wrong, and their hearts sank into a heavy state.

Louis stroked his slightly upturned mustache. "Stop struggling. Surrender, and you might escape death!"

Moses August spread his arms wide, as if welcoming a baptism of holy light, "Even if Captain Buggy forgives your actions, Lord Satan won't. Just die!"

Tink glanced at the two captains, whose stories differed, and said coldly, "Whether you live or die, you can't escape..."

"How dare they underestimate us!!"

Daruma roared angrily, spinning his body upwards as if to dive into the ground to launch an attack. However, it seemed as if a suction force pulled his body towards it, and he was immediately held in place by two hands, while his lower back was slammed hard by something hard!

Click!

As if hearing the sound of something breaking, Daruma felt as if he had been choked. His eyes widened, and he groaned, cold sweat dripping down his face.

With lightning speed, Moses August casually tossed the Daruma onto the ground, flexing his ten nimble fingers, which were covered in layers of sticky liquid, and boasted, "What a perfect bend!!"

"Daruma... how despicable!"

Ikaros and Zeo understood the strength of their opponent and did not choose to rush forward to fight recklessly. Or rather, the fact that Daruma was instantly killed by a single blow had already instilled fear and panic in them. They carried Daruma's body, showing no desire to continue fighting, and desperately tried to escape the encirclement.

However, the encirclement tightened, and they had exhausted a lot of energy, panting heavily, feeling both mentally and physically worn out.

Boom!

Suddenly something crashed down, smashing a nearby civilian house to pieces. The captains were immediately drawn to the scene, and upon closer inspection, they saw that it was a human pirate who had crashed down, with a white-skinned Fish-Man holding a trident standing behind him.

It's Hody Jones!

"Yabusame!"

Hody Jones secreted a large amount of water droplets from his palm, which he flung at the crowd like arrows.

Everyone used their skills to block the opponent's attack, but Hody Jones took the opportunity to break through the encirclement and reach the side of the Fish-Man executive.
