Pirates: Build a high wall from the East China Sea.

Chapter 422 Change of Face
"I'm so ashamed to be apologizing now!"

"I am extremely sorry for the indelible damage I caused in the Konomimi Islands in the past!"

"I don't ask for your forgiveness. No matter what you do to me, I will accept it and will not resist!"

"But please don't vent your anger on Fishman Island!"

"..."

This smooth kneeling and fluent apology made Nami, who originally had a cold face, stunned. Her raised right hand stopped in mid-air. It seemed that she did not expect that this octopus would be so straightforward? !

But when Nami raised her hand, the people who had been lying in ambush quickly took action. Although Nami did not wave her hand, everyone quickly surrounded the group of fishmen.

And this scene...

This also made the faces of the fishmen on Shark Star change. How could they not know that they were surrounded?

The fishman, who was especially unaware of Xiao Ba's situation, quickly took out his weapon and was about to take action.

"Don't even move!"

A shout instantly interrupted their actions. It was Xiao Ba's voice.

"This is my own business." Xiao Ba still kowtowed to Nami, but his voice came behind him, saying, "Please don't interfere!"

"..."

After hearing Xiao Ba's voice, all the mermaids and fishmen fell silent, looked at each other, and finally, all looked at the Shark Star Prince in confusion.

What the hell happened?

Although they were specially selected by the Great Prince of Shark Star to be close to humans, they could not just watch their compatriots being bullied!

however.

"...Put it away!" Shark Star was silent for a while, put down the trident he had raised, and said expressionlessly. However, seeing the fishmen looking at each other in bewilderment and not putting away their weapons yet, he said with a gloomy face and a suppressed tone, "I say, put away your weapons, this is Xiao Ba's own business."

Having said this, he paused slightly, his face still gloomy, but his tone was exceptionally firm.

"No matter what happens in the end, we cannot retaliate or hold grudges!"

"The eldest prince..."

"Shut up, remember everything!"

As Shark Star scolded and fell.

"..." XN
The mermen looked at each other again, and finally, they obeyed the eldest prince's order and silently put away their weapons.

Although it was still unclear what had happened, they roughly guessed... Xiao Ba seemed to have done something unforgivable to the human girl!

And this time.

"A wise choice." A lazy voice came from behind Shark Star, "It seems that His Majesty Neptune is lucky to send you here!"

This sound...

"?!"

Shark Star's face changed, and he quickly turned around to look at the figure that appeared beside him and Huang Xing at some point. After seeing who it was, his face froze again, "Admiral of the Navy - [Aokiji] Kuzan!"

"I'm not a navy... now." Kuzan was stunned when he wanted to correct her, and then he said casually, "It's okay to still call me the admiral of the navy."

"Have you really joined the East China Sea Navy?" The Great Prince of Shark Star still spoke in a serious tone, but as he spoke, he seemed to remember the current situation. He was silent for a moment, and said in a complicated tone, "Is it really impossible to save Xiao Ba's life?"

"I'm sorry, but I can't decide on this matter. I just changed jobs and I'm still a newcomer. I don't have much say. Even this mission won't be paid!"

"..."

Navy Admiral...newcomer?
Who are you lying to?
The corner of Shark Star's mouth twitched, but looking at Xiao Ba who was still kneeling in front of the human girl, he hesitated for a moment and said, "As long as Xiao Ba's life can be saved, no matter what the conditions, the Dragon Palace Kingdom can agree to it!"

"I believe you already know what happened back then! The Arlong Pirates left indelible damage in this sea area. You'd better not ask me to handle such a terrible thing. Besides, these guys killed a navy man with a sense of justice!" Kuzan yawned and said in a serious tone, "And let me give you a tip out of friendship. Don't say you can agree to any conditions in front of that person. That guy really won't be polite!"

"???"

Without waiting for Shark Star, who looked confused, to say anything.

"The only ones who can decide whether to let the octopus go are the girl and the leader of the East China Sea Navy. Of course, you don't have to worry too much." Kuzan said as he watched the show in front of him, "Our leader and the girl are quite kind!"

"?!"

Hearing Kuzan's words, Shark Star was stunned, as if he understood something, "You mean..."

But the words are not finished yet.

"Kill him or not?" Another voice sounded in front of him. A figure appeared beside the human girl and said in a serious tone, "If you want to kill him, just nod your head and everyone will rush out and hack him to death!"

This person is... the leader of the East China Sea Navy.

only.

Kuzan:…

Sharkstar: ...

Especially Kuzan, who had just said those words, suddenly had a black face.

What on earth is this guy doing?
"I just can't stand it. This guy actually did that kind of thing?!" Xia Che shook his head with emotion and said, "I must hack this stinky octopus to death with a knife, and then make all of his octopus hands into takoyaki!"

"..."X3
Nami, Kensuke, and Nojiko all fell silent.

Even Nami, who had a gloomy face and raised her hands, couldn't help but look at Xia Che speechlessly, "Can you please stop making trouble?"

"I saw you had your hand raised all the time." Xia Che sighed and said, "I was worried that you were tired, so I came here to ask for your opinion! Do you want to cut it down or not?" "I..."

"Mr. Xia Che..." Nojigao looked at Xia Che helplessly and said, "Please let Nami choose for herself!"

"What about you?"

"We listen to Nami."

Although the Konomimi Islands were under the high-pressure rule of the Arlong Pirates, the only one who suffered the most damage was Nami.

Not only did he lose his mother who he didn't even have time to apologize to, but he was also deceived by the Arlong Pirates for many years.

A few days ago, when people heard that the fishman from that year dared to come again, many of them were very angry, but in the end... they still chose to leave it to Nami to deal with.

Nokigao and Kensuke pulled Xia Che aside, leaving Nami and Hachi alone.

"Have you decided?" Xia Che looked at Nuoqi Gao and Jianzhu, and said with a helpless tone, "Actually, it doesn't matter if they really die."

"Has Mr. Shache guessed it?"

"I guessed it a long time ago!"

"What did Mr. Xia Che say just now?" Noqigao looked at Xia Che helplessly, and then fell silent for a moment, saying in a complicated tone, "In fact, before the fishmen came, we secretly checked on our phones, but we didn't expect..."

He sighed with emotion, "The once high and mighty fishmen are now treated as slaves in the new world!"

"This is incredible! The evil dragon once claimed to be a noble fishman!"

"I also learned about what happened back then. I learned about Princess Otohime of the Ryugu Kingdom and the fishman hero Fisher Tiger who freed the slaves. Mr. Shache, Fisher Tiger, as a fishman, did not give up saving humans back then, but was betrayed by humans in the end."

"The Arlong Pirates have gotten the retribution they deserved. Although I am also very angry and sad, I still hope Nami will not dwell on the past!"

"That's different." Xia Che looked at her in surprise, as if he didn't expect that they would go out of their way to find out about this. He shook his head and said, "That octopus can also be considered the culprit back then!"

"Actually, this octopus...that Xiao Ba didn't kill people randomly. He even drove people away on purpose when they accidentally entered the Dragon Park. Everything was caused by the dragon. And I heard that he also saved Mok."

"Mok? Who is it?"

"..."X2
"He didn't save Mok, Mok ran away on his own." Xia Che waved his hand, "As the eldest brother, I don't care, and you don't have to care about these things. As for the matter with Fishman Island, this octopus can't influence it, so you don't have to care!"

“I… although I’m very grateful, but…” Nojigo was silent for a moment, looking at the figure who was reluctant to let go of his hand, with an emotional smile on his face, “I still respect Nami’s choice. No matter what, we still hope that Nami can get out of this!”

The words fell.

"..."

Nami, who was looking at Xiao Ba with a complicated expression, seemed to have made a decision. She snorted coldly, "Really, that guy has made me lose interest at all."

"???"

"You must go to Bellmère's grave to apologize." Nami pretended not to notice Xia Che's doubts and looked at Xiao Ba coldly, "No matter what, we will never forgive you!"

"?!"

Just as Xiao Ba was looking at Nami in shock, as if he didn't expect Nami to let him go like this.

Nami simply turned around and left.

"Ms. Nami..." Looking at Nami's back, Xiao Ba's eyes were still full of disbelief, but looking at that back, his eyes were filled with tears, he gritted his teeth, and shouted loudly, "I owe you a life. No matter when you want my life, please do it directly! Thank you very much!"

"..."

The eyes of everyone and the fishmen who saw this scene were filled with emotion, even Kuzan, Kensuke and Nojiko, who even looked at Nami's back with satisfaction.

only……

Xia Che: ...

A face full of black lines.

Is this over?

It's really like a pirate!

I thought that even if she didn't want to kill the octopus, Nami would order the person to be severely injured, or even paralyzed!
The result is... gone?
Of course, he also knew what Nami meant... He didn't want the cooperation between the East China Sea Navy and Fishman Island to be broken because of his own affairs.

"This guy..." Xia Che shook his head, then raised his head and looked at the octopus that had climbed up, and said to him lightly, "Wait a minute, this is not over yet! Although my lovely subordinate is willing to let you go, as her boss, I haven't settled the score with you yet!"

"???"

Not finished?

Everyone was stunned and hadn't figured out what was going on.

There was a flash of cold light, and then... a scream was heard. Everyone looked at Xiao Ba, who had only two hands left, in shock. Even Shark Star and Emperor Star's faces changed.

Especially when they saw the leader of the East China Sea Navy appearing before them, the hearts of the fish people couldn't help but tremble.

Isn't it over yet?
This East Sea Navy leader...isn't he planning to let all the fishmen go?!
But just as the fishmen were trembling in their hearts.

I saw.

The East China Sea Navy leader, who had originally had a cold expression on his face, suddenly changed his face to a warm expression and said to them, "Welcome to the East China Sea! Come on, come on, why are you standing there? Smile!"

"..."

I@#%……

Is this guy really Joey Boy?
How come his expression changes so suddenly?!
