Pirate: This Marine has two Rinnegan.

"No, no! It was I who took the liberty of spying on General Zilin. As long as you are not angry, that's all that matters!"

"Actually, Ah Long..."

"Boss Jinbe has already told me that he deserved what he got, and he has no one else to blame!"

"……it is good."

Seeing that the atmosphere was a bit strange, Jinbe jumped in and said,

"Everyone, let's not stand here anymore, let's eat first!"

However, no one responded to him. Their gazes were all fixed on Chiga. Jinbe froze on the spot, his face turning red with embarrassment.

Chiga couldn't help but shake his head and chuckle when he saw Jinbe's chubby, bluish-red face.

Suddenly, Chiga felt his clothes being tugged. He turned around and saw Shirahoshi clutching her stomach, looking at him with a slightly aggrieved expression.

Chiga knew that Shirahoshi was hungry. She had cried more than once today, and after many years, she had returned to the Dragon Palace. Naturally, the sumptuous dishes on the table were tempting.

Without making her wait any longer, Qianhe addressed the crowd.

"Alright everyone, let's go eat."

After Chiga finished speaking, everyone echoed him, as if Chiga were the master of the Dragon Palace. Even Neptune didn't think there was anything wrong with it.

In his eyes, as long as Chiga puts some effort into protecting Fishman Island, what's wrong with giving her the throne?

A small incident occurred during the meal: Shirahoshi wanted to sit next to Chiga, which made Neptune, as a father, feel like he was about to burst into tears.

He felt like his sweet little girl was about to run off to Qianhe!

In response, Chiga said that Neptune was taking his blessings for granted. Look at Kaido's daughter Yamato, she's a sweet little girl, just with thorns.

Yamato, who was training with Zephyr at Marine Headquarters, suddenly sneezed. She rubbed her nose and muttered, "Strange, is Master thinking of me?"

Fishman Street

In a dark and damp room, Hody Jones and his subordinates, who had been carried back by a group of fishmen, lay on the bed, their bodies wrapped in bandages, like a few dead dogs.

Several merfolk with some medical knowledge were frantically applying medicine to them.

Their bodies were severely damaged under Chiga's oppressive aura, especially their internal organs.

Hody Jones was in slightly better shape, but his weaker subordinates were still gushing blood, mixed with pieces of internal organs.

This was just a wisp of pressure that Chiga casually released. Even if he only released one-tenth of it, it would be enough to disband this so-called new Fishman Pirate Crew on the spot.

Hody Jones lay motionless on the bed, his cold, shark-like eyes fixed on the ceiling.

For him, the psychological trauma was more painful than the physical injury.

Because he looked down on humans, believing them to be weak, lowly, and the most despicable race in the world. He thought only the powerful fish-men were noble and should be the masters of the world!

He already felt incredibly humiliated by the fact that Fishman Island was being protected by Whitebeard, and then he heard that King Neptune and Jinbe were going to lead the Fishman and Merfolk tribes to welcome a human Marine Admiral.

This made him unable to hold back any longer, so he led his new Fishman Pirates to infiltrate the crowd welcoming Chika, hoping to create chaos.

It would be best to kill that admiral, just like he killed Princess Otohime!

But reality is cruel. Chiga only glanced at him, and he was forced to his knees by a terrifying pressure. In the end, he was severely injured, and his proud New Fishman Pirates were almost wiped out.

This was an unimaginable humiliation for Hody Jones, worse than death.

Anyone else would have been completely overwhelmed by Chiga's terrifying strength and would no longer have any desire to resist.

But Hody Jones is already an extremely paranoid madman, which will only make him more insane than before!

The intense emotional turmoil caused his body to tremble uncontrollably, and blood seeped from the bandages on his body, frightening the few half-baked doctors who hurriedly wrapped him in bandages again and again.

Under the "care" of this group, in no time Horthy Jones was wrapped up like a giant dumpling, looking extremely comical.

But even so, Horford Jones was still restless. He bit his lip deeply with his sharp teeth and shouted with all his might,

"Go and get me the lethal drug ES!!!"

Upon hearing the name, the fish-men in the room trembled in fear. Doss, a member of the new Fish-Man Pirates, hesitated before speaking.

"Boss Hody, the medicine hasn't arrived yet..."

"I said bring it to me! You bastard, I'll show that damned human what the merfolk are like!!!"

Chapter 179 The Merman Rebellion

At Hody Jones's repeated requests, the fishman minions still brought him the deadly drug ES.

This drug greatly enhances one's strength, but correspondingly, it has even greater side effects, rapidly shortening the user's lifespan.

Moreover, this attenuation is visible to the naked eye, and compared to the energy expenditure of Luffy's Gear Second and Gear Third, it is practically instantaneous.

Hody Jones looked at the red and black capsule in the hand of the fishman minion and a chilling smile appeared on his face.

He was completely immobile except for his head, so he roared at the merman holding the medicine.

"What are you standing there for?! Quickly put the medicine in my mouth!"

Startled by Hody Jones's fierce rebuke, the fishman henchman nearly spilled the poison ES on the ground. He trembled as he approached Hody Jones's window, picked up a pill, and put it in his mouth.

As soon as the medicine entered his mouth, Hody Jones immediately began to chew it vigorously.

With a gulp, he swallowed the lethal drug ES. His eyes widened suddenly, and his body swelled up so much that the bandages began to fall off.

Feeling the surging power within him, Hody Jones's smile grew even more sinister as he shouted,

"Not enough! More!!"

"Boss Hody, taking too much of this medicine can be dangerous. You'd better..."

"I said again! Do you want to die?!"

Hody Jones was now completely absorbed in the surge of power within him, and he couldn't wait to go to the Dragon Palace and kill that damned human.

However, he still had some sense of reality and knew that it was unrealistic to expect to kill that human with just one potent drug.

So, he needs more!

The merman henchman swallowed hard, then reached for Hody Jones's mouth again.

Hody Jones had long been fed up with this guy's dawdling. Having swallowed a deadly pill, he was able to move again. He suddenly opened his mouth and bit the fishman's hand, swallowing a large amount of the deadly pill along with it.

The room was instantly filled with the screams of the merman minions. A large part of his hand was missing, and blood gushed out of the wound like a fountain.

However, no one in the room looked at the pitiful fishman henchman whose hand had been bitten off; their eyes were all on Hody Jones, who had swallowed a large amount of poison.

Hody Jones let out a few painful groans as his body swelled up again, shattering the bandages and revealing his strong muscles, along with the previous wounds.

His hair also turned from jet black to white, just like in the anime.

But then, his white hair quickly fell out, and soon Hody Jones's head was completely bald and looked incredibly smooth.

Hody Jones ignored the hair that had fallen to the ground, and roared to the sky with a voice as loud as thunder, showing no trace of his previous weakness.

Feeling the power within him several times greater than before, Hody Jones grinned from ear to ear, feeling as if he could shatter Ryugu Castle with a single punch.

The other members of the new Fishman Pirates crew in the room became excited upon seeing Hody's transformation. They were, after all, a group of outlaws, and their thirst for power was deeply ingrained.

How could they not be excited about such readily available power?

They all shouted at Hody Jones.

"Boss Hody! We need to take the poison too!"

Hody Jones, seeing the excited crowd, waved his hand and sent someone to fetch the remaining deadly drugs, distributing them all to the officers of the New Fishman Pirates.

Before long, the room was filled with shiny bald heads.

Hody Jones looked at his newly revitalized Fishman Pirates with satisfaction. His ambition had now swelled to an unprecedented level with the help of the deadly drug ES.

He raised a thick arm and shouted,

"My men! Follow me to the plaza. There I will declare Fishman Island ruled by our new Fishman Pirates from this day forward! To hell with those weak royals!!"

"oh!!!"

In an instant, Fishman Street descended into chaos as large numbers of fishmen, armed with weapons, emerged from their homes and joined Hody Jones's ranks, marching in a massive horde toward the plaza.

Meanwhile, inside the Dragon Palace,

Chika, who was eating, suddenly stopped and a meaningful smile appeared on her face.

He put down his cutlery and then very elegantly picked up a tissue to wipe the corner of his mouth.

Sitting next to Chiga, Shirahoshi, who was still focused on eating, noticed Chiga's actions and asked curiously.

"Lord Chiga, are you not going to eat? Is the food not to your liking?"

These words made Neptune's heart tighten, and he immediately thought of 108 ways to punish the chef in charge of today's meals.

Chiga was certainly not dissatisfied with today's meal; the reason it ended so early was because his Skynet had already detected the commotion outside.

A large number of fishman thugs had occupied the square, and Hody Jones had even begun his "passionate" speech.

Listening to Hody Jones's speech, Qianhe couldn't help but laugh. With this level of skill, he was far inferior to a certain art student from Blue Star who failed the college entrance exam. It was even funny to listen to.

The speech was nothing more than praising the nobility of mermaids and fish-men, while also criticizing himself a few times, as if he wanted to tear himself to pieces.

Seeing that Qianhe didn't reply but instead inexplicably laughed, Bai Xing became worried about Qianhe's mental state and quickly tried calling Qianhe's name.

"Lord Chiga? What's wrong?"

Chiga snapped out of his daze and, seeing Shirahoshi's worried expression, replied...

"I'm fine, I just found it funny to hear a bunch of clowns talking."

"The clown? Where is he? I can't see him."

"Don't worry, someone will come to inform you soon. We're in the square."

No sooner had he finished speaking than a merman guard rushed into the hall in a panic. Neptune frowned and reprimanded him.

"What kind of behavior is this, all flustered and disrespectful?! Can't you see we have important guests?"

The merman guard quickly caught his breath, ignoring Neptune's reprimand, and hurriedly shouted,

"Your Majesty, something terrible has happened! Hody Jones has led a large number of fishmen to occupy the square, and they are now inciting the crowd to attack the Dragon Palace!!!"

"Nani!?"
