The arrival of a powerful figure like Uchiha Xin on Fish-Man Island could not possibly be merely a visitor.
"He must be after Shirahoshi."
That woman is mine!
No one can take it away!
The subordinate asked cautiously:
"But Captain, Hody's 100,000-strong army couldn't stop him."
We are no match for him.
Vander Deiken IX did not refute this.
He knew better than anyone that he was no match for Uchiha Xin.
Continuing to Shirahoshi will only lead to your death.
But he also couldn't accept watching Shirahoshi fall into someone else's hands.
Vander Deiken IX looked up into Noah.
If we can't steal it, then we'll destroy it.
He couldn't get the Shirahoshi.
No one else can have it either.
Ryugu Palace.
Outside the Hard-Shell Tower.
Uchiha Xin stopped in his tracks.
The tower gate was covered with swords and axes.
Some of the weapons were already rusted.
Some of them are clearly recent additions.
Neptune looked at the array of weapons and his face darkened.
"These things were all thrown at us by Vander Deikun."
"He left a mark of his ability on Shirahoshi."
"No matter how far apart they are, anything he throws will always track Shirahoshi."
"To prevent others from getting hurt, Shirahoshi has to live inside the Hard-Shell Tower."
Uchiha Xin reached out and took a short sword stuck in the door.
The potential of the Mark-Mark Fruit is not low.
Vander Deiken IX would simply lock onto a target and then throw his weapon.
This usage is too simplistic.
If developed to its fullest potential, tracking should not be limited to the movement of objects.
Lock spatial coordinates.
Overcoming obstacles.
They could even launch an attack right next to the target.
This fruit could be made even stronger.
Unfortunately, it fell into the hands of a useless person.
Boom!
The entire Fish-Man Island suddenly trembled violently.
An extremely oppressive sense of oppression swept through the entire area, as if the entire sea was locked in place by a terrifying presence.
Boom!
Fish-Man Island was shaken once again.
The swords on the Hard-Shell Tower door trembled, and several heavily rusted weapons fell to the ground.
Robin looked up at the outside of the tower.
"It's not an earthquake."
Something crashed into us.
The three princes turned around at the same time.
Fukaboshi gripped his weapon tightly, unleashing his Observation Haki, but it couldn't penetrate the entire Fish-Man Island.
Just as Neptune was about to send someone to investigate, urgent shouts came from afar.
"Father!"
The Ryuboshi points towards the Ryugu Palace.
"The garrison is coming!"
Several guards from the Ryugu Palace rushed over.
The leader fell to the ground before he could even get close.
"Your Majesty!"
Noah!
" The Noah, the Ship of Promise, has set sail!"
Neptune's expression changed drastically.
Noah?
"Hasn't that ship always been moored deep inside Fish-Man District?"
The guard propped himself up, his voice trembling.
"It's heading straight for Fish-Man Island!"
"The speed is still increasing!"
"At its current trajectory, it will collide with the bubble membrane of Fish-Man Island in a little while at most!"
Fukaboshi suddenly looked up.
Noah is half the size of Fish-Man Island!
"If the bubble membrane ruptures, seawater from 10,000 meters deep will flood the island!"
Ryuboshi also realized what was happening.
" Ryugu Palace, Coral Hill, and Fish-Man District will all be swallowed by the sea!"
"The entire Fish-Man Island could be crushed!"
The weapon in Manboshi's hand fell to the ground.
"Who exactly made Noah move?"
Neptune was too preoccupied to reply.
He swung his tail and burst out of the Hard-Shell Tower.
Looking up, a huge dark shadow was approaching from the distant sea.
The dark shadow blocked out a large portion of the sunlight.
Countless schools of fish scattered from the front.
Several coated ships anchored off Fish-Man Island were also desperately trying to change course.
Compared to that giant ship, ordinary ships are not even toys.
After Neptune saw Noah's outline clearly, his face turned completely pale.
"It really is Noah!"
Why did it crash into Fish-Man Island?!
"Quick!"
"Immediately mobilize all the garrison troops of the Ryugu Palace!"
Fukaboshi rushed out of the tower right after.
"Father, the defenders can't hold them off!"
Noah is too big!
Even if all the soldiers on the island attacked together, they couldn't stop it!
Ryuboshi said urgently:
"Evacuate the residents!"
"Open all the escape routes first!"
Neptune turned his head sharply.
Where can we retreat to?
"This is 10,000 meters deep in the ocean!"
"If the bubble membrane ruptures, the Fish-Man might survive, but what about the mermaids and the other inhabitants of the island?"
Ryuboshi was speechless.
Fish-Man Island is encased in a double-layered bubble membrane, which allows it to maintain its current environment in the deep sea.
If Noah crashes into it, all defenses will be rendered meaningless.
A giant ship, half the size of Fish-Man Island, could easily smash the island and its bubble membrane together.
Even if they didn't die on the spot, the subsequent influx of seawater and the pressure of the deep sea would destroy everything on the island.
The guards of the Ryugu Palace rushed to the vicinity.
They looked up and saw Noah, and they all stopped in their tracks.
"How can we stop such a big ship?"
It's getting closer and closer!
"It's over!"
" Fish-Man Island is going to be destroyed!"
Neptune gripped the trident, but his arm was trembling.
He is the king of Fish-Man Island.
Even in the face of Hody's rebellion, he was able to mobilize troops to fight back.
He can also personally take action against pirate attacks.
But Noah before them was something the army could not stop.
That was a giant ship capable of destroying Fish-Man Island.
Neptune suddenly turned around.
He rushed back outside the Hard-Shell Tower, stood before Uchiha Xin, and knelt down.
"Grown ups!"
"My lord, please save Fish-Man Island!"
The three princes also arrived.
Without hesitation, Fukaboshi lowered its head as well.
" Uchiha Lord Xin!"
" The Ryugu Kingdom is willing to pay any price as long as you can make Noah stop!"
The Ryuboshi and the Manboshi both knelt down.
"Please, sir, help me!"
The surrounding guards also knelt down one after another.
Neptune braced himself on the ground, his voice filled with despair.
" Noah is too big."
" The Ryugu Palace has no power to stop it."
"If they collide, Fish-Man Island will surely be destroyed."
Millions of residents live here.
They had no time to escape.
"My lord, Fish-Man Island has just submitted to you."
"The land, the army, and the inhabitants here all belong to you."
Please save them!
Uchiha Xin glanced at Noah, who was approaching.
"Stand up."
Neptune looked up.
"Grown ups..."
Fish-Man Island is already my territory.
Uchiha Xin took a step forward.
"No one may wreak havoc here without my permission."
Noah cannot destroy Fish-Man Island.
Neptune paused for a moment.
His tense face finally showed a change.
"Is Your Excellency willing to take action?"
Uchiha Xin didn't say anything more.
His figure vanished from the spot.
There was no lightning.
There was also no spatial fluctuation.
Neptune felt a sudden emptiness before his eyes, Uchiha Xin had vanished.
Robin looked in the direction where Noah was.
"Since Xin has already agreed, Noah can't force her way in."
Fukaboshi still held its head up.
The giant ship did not slow down.
On the contrary, it's getting faster and faster.
The massive bow pushed through the seawater, creating several currents ahead.
