A Hidden Secret / Birds of a Feather

"What happened?"

Near Fish-Man Island in the New World, a tsunami struck, smashing nearby ships to pieces, causing the pirates on board to curse under their breath.

The climate in the New World was already unpleasant, and now with a tsunami of this magnitude, they were all furious and started swearing.

Now, back to the seabed. Just as that soft laugh reached the consciousness of the many Sea Kings, the group of Sea Beast were nearly scared out of their wits.

However, the Sea Kings, who had lived for thousands of years, quickly calmed down thanks to its experience and strength.

"Everyone, don't panic!! Stop it immediately!!"

Perhaps because of his usual formidable presence, Kentauros's words were very effective, and the group of Sea Kings quickly calmed down.

The fluctuations began to slowly subside.

"Who are you?"

After a moment of silence, the vibrations resounded again. It was actually a type of infrasound, with a very low frequency, outside the range of human perception. Therefore, the communication between these Sea Kings is generally inaudible to ordinary people.

Weren't you talking about me just now?

Dongze's voice carried on unhurriedly, while at the same time he rapidly mobilized the various powers within his body.

Armament Haki, Conqueror's Haki, and Observation Haki go without saying. The reason we can communicate with them is because of Observation Haki's ability to Voice of All Things.

Upon hearing Dongze's response, nearly twenty pairs of eyes immediately focused on the ship sinking to the bottom of the sea.

The pressure from different levels of life was on full display at this moment, and Robin, for some reason, instantly became a spineless coward.

Upon seeing this, Dongze frowned, his Conqueror's Haki intensified, and he dragged Robin behind him, protecting her.

"Take your eyes off it!!"

A cold shout, tinged with a chilling aura, rang in the minds of the Sea Beast once more, and this time, Dongze's Conqueror's Haki was no longer concealed.

The previously calm seabed was stirred up once again, but this time it was Dongze alone.

The raging Conqueror's Haki was like an air cannon, and the hurricane even whipped up a rising waterspout.

Its true state is similar to when Might Guy, having opened the Sixth Gate, unleashed his power in the water during Naruto, but with far greater force.

Even the nearby seas became turbulent.

The immense pressure, like the might of heaven, descended upon the seabed and instantly radiated outwards.

The Sea Beast creatures tensed up once again.

"Bacchan!!"

Feeling such terrifying Conqueror's Haki, the group of Sea Beast almost went crazy. Isn't that hilarious?!

One person intimidating a group of underwater overlords?

"Human! Stop! We mean no harm!"

Perhaps it was Dongze's Conqueror's Haki frightened the Sea Kings, led by Kentauros, who were the first to express their goodwill.

Sensing that the other party had withdrawn their clearly scrutinizing gaze, Dongze also withdrew his Conqueror's Haki.

"Who are you?"

After a moment of silence, Kentauros resumed his conversation.

"A Seeker of the Way!"

Dongze did not remain silent. If possible, he did not want to have a conflict with the other party, who was one of the few species that made him feel pressured.

However, he believed his strength would increase rapidly, right here on Fish-Man Island, because there was a Poneglyph there.

That way, I won't feel too much pressure when I encounter them again.

"The Seeker of the Way?"

Chapter 115 Secrets

Can you tell us your goal?

The Seeker of the Way's words left Kentauros completely bewildered. The arrival of Gol D. Roger, the Pirate King, over a decade ago had utterly amazed it.

Because the other party seemed to understand their communication, the arrival of a Seeker of the Way brought it more fright than joy.

Not only could the other party understand their conversation, but it could also communicate with them, and its strength was unexpectedly outrageous. What it found somewhat unacceptable was that the other party subtly gave it a sense of death threat.

What this means is already self-evident.

It is a sea monster that has lived for over a thousand years.

To put it bluntly, even if it were to declare itself king now, I believe it could do so in a very short time and become the new Poseidon.

This powerful, overlord-level being is now feeling an unprecedented pressure, even a threat of death, from a tiny human being.

If it weren't for the fact that the other party was a human body, it would have asked, "How old are you, sir?"

"Poneglyph!"

Upon hearing this, Kentauros was taken aback. As for that thing, it was irrelevant; it only remembered that it was a legacy of the changing dynasties of humankind.

"Is there nothing else?"

If it were truly just that broken stone, it would have no reason to stop Dongze. However, it was also worried that the other party's target was not just that Poneglyph. If the other party really went for the new Sea Emperor Poseidon, then the danger would be great.

So, to be on the safe side, it made one final confirmation.

Upon hearing the other person's words, Dongze chuckled.

"What, you want me to do something else?"

"No, no, no, no~~"

Upon hearing Dongze's words, the other party quickly replied.

"By the way! You won't interfere with those suicidal Fish-Man, will you?"

As if remembering something, Dongze spoke again.

After all, Fish-Man Island is also full of some Fish-Man with extremely twisted personalities. If they want to manage these Fish-Man as well, then sorry! There's no room for negotiation!

However, these deep-sea overlords are not the kind of people who would cause trouble; their target is only the new Sea Emperor —Princess Shirahoshi of Fish-Man Island.

Even if all the other people were dead, they probably wouldn't even lift an eyelid. Although it sounds a bit heartless, they are born with only one mission.

"If it were those people, we wouldn't interfere! But you cannot touch the mermaid princess of Fish-Man Island — Shirahoshi! Otherwise, even if we risk our lives, we will not let you pass!"

After a slight pause, Kentauros's tone became incredibly firm. Although the other party was putting a lot of pressure on it, it was its mission, and it would not hesitate to risk its life.

"Poseidon, the Sea Emperor!"

Upon hearing the other party's words, Dongze muttered to himself, "It seems my guess was right after all. These deep-sea overlords exist to protect Shirahoshi."

"Okay! Got it!"

Dongze has no intention of clashing with them. The current situation is that both sides are somewhat wary of each other, and they will not directly start fighting unless forced to.

Dongze didn't want things to go this way, and neither did the Sea Kings led by Kentauros. A direct confrontation would have unpredictable consequences; if the disturbances here affected Fish-Man Island, everything would be over.

"We hope you will keep your promise. We will continue to monitor your progress!"

After saying this, Kentauros fell silent, and the Sea Beast all went into hiding once more.

"Dongze, what's wrong?"

Robin, standing to the side, looked tense. Ever since she inexplicably became a weakling and Dongze shielded her behind him, Dongze had remained silent.

But it startled her.

Seeing the light finally return to Dongze's eyes, she couldn't help but breathe a heavy sigh of relief.

"It's alright! Let's go!"

Dongze didn't tell Robin about his contact with those Sea Beast either. This matter involved a wide range of people, and it was better for as few people as possible to know.

And judging from the reactions of these Sea Beasts, for some reason, he always felt that these big guys seemed to be hiding something, just as he was holding back, these big guys also seemed to be hiding something.

If this generation's Fish-Man princess is Sea Emperor, then what about the previous generation's Poseidon? Was he also a mermaid Sea Emperor? Or is it that each generation's Sea Emperor is the same person, but the current Sea Emperor's consciousness is still dormant?

Furthermore, when Kentauros mentioned Shirahoshi, the respect in his tone was almost overflowing. Could a Sea Emperor who hadn't even Awakening yet possess such great power?

He could sense that the opponent's strength was definitely more than one level above those Admiral, and might even be no less than Garp's. The fact that the opponent could exert such terrifying pressure on him meant that the opponent's true combat strength was probably similar to his own.

Now that he was practically two Garp's, Dongze, who hadn't been particularly interested in the mermaid princess before, started to feel curious.

What kind of existence does the Little Mermaid Princess Shirahoshi have today?

If he is indeed the reincarnation of the Sea Emperor, and his original consciousness is still dormant, then could I awaken him, and what benefits could a great battle with him bring me?

Alright! Feeling the pressure, Dongze reverted to his monster-slaying maniac form once again.

Dongze locked onto Fish-Man Island using his Observation Haki, then reached out and gently waved his hand. A palm print broke through the coating and slammed into the seawater. The two-masted sailboat, as if equipped with a jet engine, rose from the ground and headed straight for Fish-Man Island.

Watching their retreating figures, the group of deep-sea overlords began to communicate again.

"Boss, what exactly did that guy do?"

"I've lived for five or six hundred years, and this is the first time I've ever seen a human like this. Is he even a mortal?"

"I can tell from his voice that this guy is holding back; it seems he knows Shirahoshi's identity!"

"Tch! So what if he knows? The Sea Emperor's consciousness resides in Shirahoshi's body. If the Sea Emperor's consciousness awakens, this guy—"

Hehe~~

"Indeed! Someone like him would have been extremely rare even a thousand years ago. The D clan overlord at that time probably only had this level of combat power!"

"What's meant to be will be! If Sea Emperor wants to truly awaken ahead of schedule, he'll probably need his help!"

"Kraken, you idiot! Stop right there! Do you still want to save your brother?"

Decken saw that Kraken was rampaging wildly on the seabed like a madman, and his vehicle was riddled with holes, as if it would turn into pieces at any moment.

Already somewhat timid, Decken was now trembling with fear and couldn't help but unleash a torrent of curses.

Surprisingly, it actually worked somewhat. The reason Kraken was being driven by Decken was because his brother had been captured. He wasn't sure who had captured him, but Decken told him that if he became his subordinate, Daken would help him rescue his brother, which is why he obeyed Daken's orders.

"Damn it! What just happened?"

Seeing that Kraken had finally quieted down, Decken couldn't help but curse again!

"Looks like I'll have to talk to those guys."

Chapter 116 Colluding with each other

Fish-Man Island, Fish-Man District, Noah!

A Fish-Man rushed in, holding a Den Den Mushi in his hand.

"Hody Jones, something terrible has happened!!"

The person seated there was the new leader of the New Fish-Men, a racist named Hody Jones.

Seeing his underling rush in in a panic, his face darkened.

"How many times have I told you! The ocean floor belongs to us Fish-Man! Seeing you all flustered like this just annoys me!!"

The underling shuddered when Hody Jones gave him a cold look; he was genuinely afraid of this new boss of Fish-Man District.

No~~

"Is that Decken who wants to speak with you? He has something very important to tell you. He also said that this matter concerns the life and death of our Fish-Man Island. He knows what happened earlier?"

Hearing this, Hody Jones was taken aback. He had thought the previous fluctuations meant that an underwater volcano was about to erupt!

Furthermore, the subsequent fluctuations directly affected the surrounding sea area, causing such an impact thousands of meters deep on the seabed. He dared not imagine who had caused these fluctuations.

My palms are still sweating. I never imagined there was more to this story, and that it was related to that Decken.

"Den Den Mushi!!"

Hody Jones gave a cold shout, gesturing for the other party to bring over the Den Den Mushi.

Seeing that their boss had finally calmed down, the underling breathed a sigh of relief. Hody Jones had already injured several people today.

"Yes!!"
