"Boss, there's something strange about these humans."
By this time, most of the merfolk had been intimidated and dared not launch an attack easily. They all turned to look at the merfolk in the lead.
The leader of the mermen hesitated for a moment, then a fierce glint appeared in his eyes. He shouted in a deep voice, "Back off! Let the sea beasts devour them!"
By this point, it was clear that they could no longer care about Camie, the mermaid.
In the eyes of these ruthless fishmen, sacrificing Camie, the mermaid, to kill these humans was entirely worthwhile. They were even willing to sacrifice the lives of their own kind to kill humans; this was the true nature of these fishmen.
At the command of the leading merman, all the mermen immediately retreated.
Immediately afterwards, the giant sea beasts that had surrounded them roared and charged forward, each opening its gaping maw as if to swallow Uya and his group whole.
"Looks like these guys aren't exactly good people either."
As Kuina watched this scene, her pretty face finally calmed down completely, and her eyes became as still as Shisui.
"Let me handle this; we don't want this place to turn into a sea of blood."
Ain grabbed Kuina's arm, spoke softly, and then with a light wave of her other hand, several pink halos suddenly shot out in all directions.
These halos remained unchanged within the air surrounding Uya, but the moment they entered the seawater, they seemed to be suppressed and began to rapidly diminish.
However, due to its high speed, it eventually entered the bodies of those giant sea monsters before it decayed to the point of complete disappearance.
Buzz!!
All the giant sea monsters emitted a pink glow, and then vanished into thin air in an instant!
"Huh? So these guys weren't that old after all. I didn't expect them to just disappear like that."
Ain was a little surprised. She originally thought these sea beasts were very ancient, and with the limitation of seawater, she pushed her power to the maximum, but unexpectedly wiped them out.
Ain was only slightly surprised before regaining her composure, but the merfolk stared wide-eyed, their expressions one of utter disbelief.
"What... what's going on?!"
That enormous herd of sea monsters vanished into thin air in an instant—what a joke!
Or are they all dreaming?!
An eerie silence fell over the arena. This time, all the fishmen seemed to be Petrification, caught in a dilemma, unsure of what to do.
Uya Uya didn't glance at the fishmen once throughout, but at this moment, he suddenly glanced in a direction in the distance and revealed a slightly mocking expression.
"When I came to Fish-Man Island last time, I completely forgot about you, the most jumping fishman..."
Uya didn't ignore the fishmen and head straight for Fish-Man Island because she caught a glimpse of another group of fishmen rushing towards them in the distance.
The leader of the fishmen was still somewhat familiar to Uya.
It seems to be Hody Jones, the captain of some New Fish-Man Pirates, who was also the true culprit who killed Shirahoshi's mother, Princess Otohime, many years ago.
After Arlong was defeated by Luffy and his crew, he formed the New Fish-Man Pirates, and began to capture and force ordinary human pirates who passed by Fish-Man Island, thus expanding the power of the New Fish-Man Pirates.
In the original story, when Luffy and his crew arrived at Fish-Man Island, they already had a force of 100,000 men.
Of course, let alone 100,000 people, even a million people would be no different from a grain of sand in Uya's eyes.
Fish-Man Island has a beautiful environment, Uya plans to bring it into her own world, but those mischievous fishmen... well, let's just send them to hell.
Finally, after a moment of silence, the figures of a group of mermen appeared in the distance.
The one leading them was Hody Jones.
" Hody!"
The fishmen, who were stunned by Kuina and Ain and didn't know what to do for a moment, suddenly snapped back to reality when they saw Hody Jones and the others swimming over from a distance.
"You... you've come here?!"
"Why am I here? You can't even handle such a small matter, you're all useless!"
Hody Jones was very dissatisfied with the number of human slaves captured in the past few days, so he came to inspect the situation in person today. Unexpectedly, from a distance, he found his men confronting several humans.
This was an immense humiliation for Hody Jones, who believed that fishmen were superior to all humans.
"You can't even take down a few humans?!" Hody didn't even glance at Uya and the others, only glaring angrily at his subordinates.
"Boss Hody... these guys aren't ordinary humans!" The Hody were trembling with fear, and they couldn't help but explain in trembling voices.
Upon hearing this, Hody's anger intensified, and just as he was about to explode, a merman beside him suddenly nudged him and whispered something.
"Boss Hody... take a look, that human seems to be..."
There seemed to be a hint of inexplicable fear in the fishman's tone.
At this moment, Hody finally turned around and looked at Uya and the others. The moment he saw Uya, he narrowed his eyes.
As the captain of the New Fish-Man Pirates, who aspires to conquer Fish-Man Island first and then the world, how could he not recognize Uya?
Since Uya destroyed the former World Government and opened up the first and second halves of the Grand Line, the pirate forces on this sea suddenly erupted.
Although this era is known as the Age of Gods, it is no exaggeration to call it the most prosperous period of the Great Pirate Era.
The newly formed World Government, comprised of over a hundred nations, deployed a formidable force to defend the Red Line breach opened by Uya, aiming to curb the pirates' influence and prevent them from entering the New World from the first half.
They couldn't allow all the pirates to flood into the New World.
Many powerful pirates attempted to force their way through; some succeeded, while others failed.
Some weaker pirates, unwilling to directly clash with the New World Government, opted to take the route to Fish-Man Island, 10,000 meters underwater.
Any pirate who reaches the end of the first half of the Grand Line has heard of Uya's legend. After arriving at Fish-Man Island and being suppressed and coerced by Hody, he will naturally reveal a lot of information about the sea.
Furthermore, Uya's name is that of a protector of Fish-Man Island, which makes countless pirates and slave traders dare not easily invade Fish-Man Island.
In this way, Hody was no stranger to Yu Ye.
However, despite knowing him, Hody had absolutely no respect for Yuya. In his eyes, gods were nothing more than human pirates who spoke nonsense out of fear of Yuya.
As for those human pirates, Hody had captured many, but in his opinion, they weren't anything special. So, Uya, whom these human pirates feared, was probably just average as well.
Just then, the merman standing next to Hody hesitated for a moment, then couldn't help but ask in a low voice, "Boss Hody, what do we do?"
"Kill them."
Hody said calmly.
"What?!"
The fishmen nearby widened their eyes instantly, thinking they had misheard.
"I said, kill them! What's the problem?!" Hody Jones glanced coldly at the fish-men around him.
These fishmen were all frightened by Hody, but they weren't quite as lawless as Hody. They still had some fear of Uya's name, so they stood there frozen, at a loss.
Upon seeing this, Hody Jones was furious.
"You bunch of bastards, you're actually afraid of a human?!"
"What god? Just a slightly more powerful human. If we're talking about gods, then we fish-men should be gods who surpass all humans!"
Hody Jones roared angrily, then suddenly pulled out a handful of strange pills and swallowed them in one gulp.
Upon seeing this, the other merfolk were immediately startled and fell silent.
"Power... an endless stream of power is surging forth..."
"Come with me to kill that human. That way, no one on Fish-Man Island will dare to stop me. Then Fish-Man Island will be mine, and the world will be mine too!"
Hody Jones clenched his fists, veins bulging on his arms as if a terrifying power was surging within them, while his face revealed a look of excitement and madness.
Seeing this, the other merfolk exchanged glances, swallowed hard, gritted their teeth, and all followed behind Hody.
He looked at Hody Jones charging towards him, along with a large group of ferocious-looking fishmen.
Kuina placed one hand on the hilt of her sword, then suddenly turned to look at Uya Uya whispered, "Master, is it alright to kill all of these guys?"
"No problem."
Uya responded calmly.
After receiving Uya's permission, a hint of frost finally appeared on Kuina's pretty face. She wouldn't be angry no matter how arrogant these fishmen were, but she absolutely could not tolerate them insulting Uya.
Anyone who dares to insult Uya, whether human or any other creature, will be sent to hell by her sword!
laugh!!
In the next instant, Kuina's sword was suddenly drawn, and with a light sweep, her beautiful hair danced gently in the opposite direction, forming a beautiful circle.
Then, Kuina gently sheathed her sword.
Click!
That was the sound of a sword being sheathed, and the last sound in this area; all other sounds vanished instantly.
Silence fell, and all sound was silenced.
I don't know how much time passed, or it seemed like only a moment, when a faint voice came.
Let's go to Fish-Man Island.
That was Uya's voice. The instant the voice reached them, the space around Uya, Ai Ain, and the others suddenly became illusory, rippled slightly, and then the group vanished into thin air in the sea. (To be continued...)
