Hody Jones, the E.S. Ruse

"Your Majesty, do you know where Knight of the Sea Jinbe is now?"

"I don't know where they are either. I'll send someone to find them right away."

Hearing Neptune's words, Roya's brows furrowed slightly.

"Sorry for the trouble, Your Majesty."

After saying that, Roya waited patiently there.

By then, the banquet had already begun in earnest.

Dozens of mermaids danced gracefully before them, their sleeves fluttering as they moved, their beauty utterly captivating.

On the other side.

In a remote place roughly ten thousand meters from Ryugu Palace.

Unlike the bustling area around Ryugu Palace, seaweed grew thickly here, making the place look exceedingly chaotic!

Judging from its appearance, no fish-man had set foot here for at least ten years.

Yet this desolate place welcomed two fish-men with dark red and deep blue skin.

They had received word that a human who had come to Fish-Man Island had accidentally wandered into this place and been injured.

Because they had a favorable impression of humans, they came over to take a look.

Afterward, they planned to go find Roya.

However, Fisher Tiger and Jinbe had never expected that the one waiting for them here would be Hody Jones!

Both Fisher Tiger and Jinbe knew Hody Jones, who stood before them.

They clearly realized that Hody Jones had deceived them.

Fisher Tiger looked at Hody Jones, who had black hair, a flat cap bearing a trident design on his head, a wolf-fur scarf around his neck, and an extensive tattoo on his left arm. He shouted angrily, "Hody Jones, what do you mean by this?"

Hody Jones looked at Fisher Tiger and Jinbe before him and let out a cold laugh. "Gyahahahaha! What do I mean? Of course I came to stop you!"

"Stop us? Stop us from doing what?"
