Yamakaji looked helpless.
In the face of a major power rebellion, perhaps only Bai Yu could remain so calm.
"Father, what should we do?"
Fukaboshi's face Kotetsu, and he hurriedly said...
"I just tried to contact the guards inside the Ryugu Palace, but I couldn't get through at all. If this continues, I'm afraid we won't receive any reinforcements."
The Ryugu Palace has always been located at the top of Fish-Man Island, and it can only be entered through special means.
There is only one way in and out.
It is difficult for ordinary people to break in.
Similarly, if something goes wrong with the Ryugu Palace, it will be difficult for outsiders to enter.
At this critical juncture, they were unable to contact the Ryugu Palace.
This likely means that the Ryugu Palace has already fallen.
"Even the Ryugu Palace has fallen. How did they manage to do that all by themselves?" Neptune's expression changed.
As the king of Fish-Man Island, this was the first time he had ever felt so powerless.
In particular, looking at the dense crowd in front of him, Neptune couldn't help but clench his trident tightly.
"Haha, Your Majesty, are you feeling hopeless?"
"Unfortunately, the real despair is yet to come."
Hody Jones grinned menacingly.
A wooden prison cart was pushed out from behind them.
Inside, a gigantic figure was imprisoned.
"It's Shirahoshi! How did she end up in Hody Jones's hands?"
Neptune's face turned pale instantly.
" Hody, release Shirahoshi right now! If you want a hostage, I can switch places with Shirahoshi."
"Father, don't worry about me. Quickly take my brother and the others and escape. They planned this all along, and you two can't possibly defeat them alone," Shirahoshi cried.
However, the moment her massive body moved even slightly, the chains binding her tightened instantly.
In particular, the chain around his neck, if Bai Yu wasn't mistaken.
It's probably still a product of land-based technology, a self-destructing slave chain.
"My Shirahoshi!"
Neptune's eyes suddenly reddened.
No!
It should be said that not only the three princes of Fukaboshi, but also all the Fish-Man guards were filled with rage.
The fact that Shirahoshi had been harassed by Vander Decken for so long, forcing her to hide inside the Shell Tower, had already made them feel sorry for her.
Now they are even more bound by slave chains.
This is simply unacceptable to any Fish-Man!
"Men, come with me and retrieve Shirahoshi!"
Fukaboshi gripped the trident tightly in his hand and rushed out first.
The remaining guards, without giving it much thought, grabbed their weapons and gave chase.
Seeing this, Hody Jones's mockery deepened, and he swung his broadsword down suddenly, the Roar with laughter.
"Stop him! Stop them all! I'm going to publicly execute this Fish-Man princess in front of these usually high and mighty figures."
"I want them to understand what unattainable despair truly is!"
Execution?
Fukaboshi and the others froze for a moment.
On the cliff face, the enormous cage was opened, revealing Shirahoshi, who was bound by chains all over her body.
Hody Jones chuckled mockingly and gave the Fish-Man behind him a wink.
Two burly Fish-Man, carrying blades, strode up to Shirahoshi.
King Neptune's expression changed drastically. He gripped his trident tightly and the Roar urgently.
" Hody Jones, if you dare to harm a single hair on Shirahoshi, I will kill you."
" Fukaboshi, I'll clear a path for you, and I'll spare no effort to rescue Shirahoshi!"
Bang!
The enormous trident was instantly wielded by King Neptune.
With a leap, he slashed down forcefully into the arena.
The assembled pirates were sent flying by the impact.
The thick rocky ground also crumbled in response.
However, faced with such a powerful and heavy blow, the pirates who had just been dispersed were instantly filled by a horde of people surging in from all directions.
He brandished his weapon once more and charged towards King Neptune and his men.
Fukaboshi and his group, who were following closely behind Neptune and were planning to break through, were instantly surrounded.
This formed an impenetrable defense line.
It's fair to say that, given their overwhelming numerical disadvantage, let alone rescuing people, Neptune and his group even faced the challenge of breaking through the encirclement.
"Go, go to the beach! I have another plan to break through!"
Neptune blasted the attacking group away and looked back at the dock behind him.
He is skilled in Mermaid Jujutsu, but his wide-range attacks require water as a medium to unleash their immense power.
Unfortunately, we're currently on the shore, and there's not even a splash, let alone water.
His Mermaid Jujutsu were completely useless.
The only way to save them is to break through the encirclement.
However, the pirates and Fish-Man present clearly did not give Neptune a chance.
Tens of thousands of people swarmed in from all directions.
No matter how many enemies Neptune knocks away, several times, or even ten times, more people will surge up in the next moment.
The sensation was like being bitten by countless ants.
Feeling trapped in this predicament, unable to break through the encirclement, Neptune and his companions gradually began to despair.
On the cliff face, Hody Jones's smile grew even more ferocious. The next moment, he raised the large knife he was gripping in his right hand high and laughed loudly.
"I'm sorry, Your Majesty, but my patience is limited. Since you can't break through, to give me some amusement, I'll watch Princess Shirahoshi die in despair."
"Kill her!"
The two Fish-Man were acting as executioners grinned menacingly, and suddenly raised the Kubikiribōchō they held high above their heads.
The chilling light gleamed on the blade, causing King Neptune and the others to turn deathly pale.
Shirahoshi, her voluptuous body trembling beneath the blade, was already shaking uncontrollably.
Unfortunately, seeing that even his last hope, his father and the others, were trapped in a perilous situation with no way to escape, he could only close his eyes in despair.
"Cut!"
Hody Jones grinned menacingly as he shouted.
The two Fish-Man executioners finally moved.
The gleaming blade slashed down towards Shirahoshi's neck.
Seeing this, King Neptune was already deathly pale, and the trident in his hand was about to be crushed.
Unfortunately, trapped in the crowd, there was no way to rescue anyone, let alone escape.
The next moment, a figure flashed through my mind, the Roar urgently.
"Please, Admiral Bai Yu, save them! I promise you I'll attend the World Affiliated Nation Conference!"
"Should we save them?"
Even if you don't tell me, I will still take action.
"Unfortunately, these are just petty tricks; they're rather disappointing."
Bai Yu smiled bloodthirstyly, his grip on the wine bottle tightening slightly, his eyes suddenly widening.
The dormant Conqueror's Haki within him exploded like a Dotō wave.
It transformed into a sea of blood, instantly sweeping across the entire estuary dock.
