Why would a Saint Seiya become a pirate?

Because of the constant harassment she received from Vander Deacon, she lived a secluded life in the hard shell tower for many years, rarely coming into contact with strangers.

Then, the two children quickly became friends.

On the other hand, Nami and her companions, who were originally visiting the Ryugu Palace, were surrounded by Neptune's army.

The Straw Hat Pirates are in trouble because they are suspected of kidnapping a mermaid.

The soldiers were all trying to pop the bubbles enveloping Zoro and the others in order to gain an advantage in the battle.

However, at the same time that the Straw Hat Pirates were fighting Neptune's army, a group of pirates of unknown origin were attacking Luffy and Princess Shirahoshi of Ryugu Castle's Hard Shell Tower one after another.

When Luffy learned that Shirahoshi had been locked in the Hard Shell Tower, he volunteered to take her out.

However, because Shirahoshi's body was too large, Luffy came up with a crazy idea.

He wanted Shirahoshi to hide him inside the mouth of a pet shark so that he could leave Ryugu Castle undetected.

The Ryugu Palace was thrown into turmoil after Shirahoshi was brought out.

In addition, pirates of unknown origin continued to invade the city.

They seemed to be driven by someone, launching a desperate and indiscriminate attack.

Just as chaos erupted within Ryugu Castle and the Straw Hat Pirates were drawn into the battle, Hachi, who was heavily injured, suddenly appeared at Coral Ridge.

He looked very disheveled, with wounds all over his body.

"Little Eight!"

Sanji and Chopper recognized Hachi immediately and rushed over.

"Xiao Ba, what happened to you? Who hurt you like this?"

Sanji asked anxiously.

Chopper: "Doctor, where's the doctor? Yes, I'm the doctor..."

"It's the New Fishman Pirates... They... They're going to destroy the Ryugu Kingdom..."

Then, I heard Xiao Ba utter his dying words, and then he fainted.

Luffy and Princess Shirahoshi, who was hiding in the mouth of the shark Mekaro, also accidentally arrived at Coral Ridge.

Back at the palace, Hody's revenge plan finally began.

He joins forces with Vander Decken IX, who has been unsuccessful in his pursuit of Princess Shirahoshi, to breach the gates of the Ryugu Castle, which are known for their impregnable defenses.

And so, the new Fishman Pirates, who were attempting to destroy the Ryugu Kingdom, have finally made their official appearance.

The walls of the Dragon Palace were damaged, causing a large amount of seawater to flow into the palace.

Hody launched powerful attacks on Neptune's army repeatedly.

Unexpectedly, the soldiers, who were initially in disarray, turned against the New Fishman Pirates and began to fight back.

It turns out that the conflict between Neptune and the Straw Hat Pirates was fake.

This was a plan devised by Fanny: to lure the snake into its hole, then trap it inside, and finally catch it like a turtle in a jar.

The Straw Hat crew members' superb acting skills made Neptune and his son truly feel inferior.

However, unexpectedly, Hody suddenly went berserk and began a killing spree.

Neptune, who loved his people dearly, desperately tried to protect his soldiers, but his actions were hampered, and he found himself in a crisis.

Just then, Zoro, the most reliable man in the Straw Hat crew, stood in front of Hody.

His eyes were resolute, and the knife in his hand gleamed coldly.

With the sea level inside the Ryugu Palace rising steadily, Zoro is about to begin his battle with Hody, despite being at an overwhelming disadvantage.

If it were Luffy, I might consider the actor's professional ethics.

But Hody was facing Zoro, the only man in the Straw Hat crew who had no acting skills.

When Hody met him, he suffered terribly.

……

Chapter 105 Vander Decken Walks into a Trap, Jinbe and Arlong's Past!

Upon seeing the World Government's notice of budget cuts, Navy Grand Admiral Sengoku casually tossed it to his beloved lamb.

With the navy's current strength, they don't need to care about these noble lords at all.

The main thing is that he doesn't lack money right now!

The Five Elders have now come to terms with things and are beginning to delegate power to the World Government.

Let them engage in a war of words with the two naval forces.

Yes, triangles are stable.

These past two years have brought me much more peace of mind.

During the Warring States period, he was promoted, yet it also seemed like he wasn't.

In order to quell the Navy's anger, the World Government granted Sengoku the position of Grand Admiral.

Nominally in charge of all naval forces, including that new admiral...

No, he should be called the Commander-in-Chief now.

Fortunately, most of the people in the navy are simple-minded people with a sense of justice, and they won't threaten to strike.

We would never gamble with the lives of ordinary people.

Upon seeing the news that the Straw Hat crew had set off again, Sengoku couldn't help but twitch his lips and let out a cold laugh.

Finally, everything is about to begin.

……

The smoke from the battle at the palace had not yet completely dissipated, but the situation on Fishman Island was becoming increasingly chaotic.

Those strong fish-men were like powder kegs that had been lit.

He was so excited that it seemed he was about to overturn the entire Fishman Island at any moment.

Yes, their anger all stemmed from the fact that Princess Shirahoshi had been "kidnapped".

But what lies behind this is either a distortion of human nature or a decline in morality?

Okay, it's probably some troublemaker stirring things up...

These fish-people, as if their husbands had died, lost their minds and became impulsive and crazy.

At this moment, Luffy was standing to the side, with Shirahoshi and a pile of watermelons.

Like two innocent and curious children, their eyes were wide open, intently watching the chaotic scene around them.

A silly smile lingered on his lips, and he muttered to himself from time to time.

Wow, this is so lively! It's even more fun than I imagined!

Suddenly, a group of fishmen, like wolves spotting their prey, charged menacingly toward Luffy.

Before Luffy could react, he was transformed into a body full of giant men.

I've actually eaten it myself.

Soon, he was bound tightly with ropes by the fishmen.

Luffy tried to struggle for a moment, but then quickly gave up.

Just then, the Poop-Poop Fruit, which had been relentlessly pursuing Shirahoshi...

Bah! Vander Deiken, the target-target ability user, has finally made his appearance.

Ugh, I finally fell for it.

And then... there's no "and then".

Luffy thought to himself, but a faint smile appeared on his face.

It turns out that all of this was a trap set by the Straw Hat Pirates.

They were just waiting for van der Deiken to walk right into their trap.

Before Vander Decken could even feel smug, he saw Luffy easily break free of the ropes.

Then in an instant, he rushed in front of Vander Deiken.

Vander Deiken had never seen a fist the size of a clay pot, but he had seen fists the size of a dump truck.

Before Vander Deiken could react, he was sent flying, tracing a long arc in the air.

It's a pity that he didn't say that classic quote.

Negative Ratings.

Meanwhile, Zoro's side also engaged in a battle that wasn't particularly intense.

With a "whoosh," Zoro's sword flashed like lightning, instantly passing before Hody's eyes.

Hody felt a sudden darkness before his eyes, and was somewhat dazed by the powerful force.

In other words, the fishman's body is relatively sturdy. If it were an ordinary person, they would probably have been cut in two by Ruyi's blade long ago.

However, the battle did not end there.

Time was of the essence, and the sea level inside the Dragon Palace was still rising.

Zoro and his companions tried every possible way to escape the flooded Dragon Palace.

However, the fish-men gained immense strength after consuming the deadly drug "energy steroids".

Furthermore, since they were fighting underwater, Zoro and his companions couldn't use their techniques effectively, and they were immediately plunged into a desperate situation with no way out.

There was no other option but to retreat temporarily.

Meanwhile, Luffy and his crew finally arrived at the Sea Forest with Shirahoshi.

The environment here is elegant and tranquil, making it a great place for self-cultivation.

There, they met Jinbe, whom they hadn't seen in a long time.

And there's Fanny, who's lying down next to Nami pretending to be dead.
