One Piece: Blue Scale Admiral

“King Neptune, you must leave immediately. Do not remain here. The situation is deteriorating.”

Jinbe gripped his left wrist, his expression turning somewhat grim.

His left arm bone was fractured by Jack's punch.

For a powerhouse like Jack to consume dangerous drugs and overdraw his life potential, gaining power by sacrificing his lifespan, is simply terrifying beyond description.

"How can that be? If something happens to you, Jinbe, Fishman Island is doomed!"

Neptune, his face filled with urgency and hatred, glared at Jack, who had already approached, and suddenly shouted:

"Drought Jack! Fishman Island is Whitebeard Pirates territory. Do you want to provoke a conflict between the Whitebeard Pirates and the Beasts Pirates?"

His intention was to make Jack wary of the Whitebeard Pirates and thus retreat.

But let's not even mention Jack, who's already gone mad.

Even before he took drugs, given Jack's reckless nature, Neptune's words would have only backfired.

Jack ignored his words, his bloodshot eyes fixed on Jinbe.

"call!"

A gust of wind swept across the square, carrying sand and stones.

The ground beneath Jack's feet crumbled inch by inch, and he shot forward again, heading straight for Jinbe.

"It's no use, King Neptune! All of you get out of the way! Take Shirahoshi and leave Fishman Island first. We'll return when the effects of the poison on Jack the Drought wear off and the side effects appear!"

Jinbe shouted, gritted his teeth, and charged forward, throwing a straight punch at Jack who was charging at him.

"The Secret Technique of Fishman Karate! Martial Arts!"

The fist, covered in jet-black Armament Haki, blasted through the atmosphere, scattering rubble everywhere, and collided with the enormous fist that Jack had unleashed.

"boom!"

Amidst the deafening explosion, the shockwave from the collision swept in all directions, sending the guards of the Dragon Palace City within a radius of hundreds of meters flying backward, coughing up blood.

Even Neptune and Shark Star were unable to maintain their balance and were swept backward by the shockwave.

"No! There's no way we can intervene in their fight!"

"Father! Go back to the Dragon Palace first! Do as Jinbe says, and take Shirahoshi and the others away."

Shark Star cried out with difficulty.

"Aren't you leaving, Shark Star?" Neptune asked worriedly, unsure of what would become of Fishman Island and the Dragon Palace Kingdom.

"I want to see if I can stop Drought Jack!" Shark Star sprinted towards the distant Fishman Street port.

"He's a Devil Fruit user, right? If he is, then he's afraid of seawater. I'll go get some seawater; maybe that will weaken him!"

Watching Shark Star fly away at high speed, Neptune gritted his teeth and rushed towards the Dragon Palace.

Suddenly, his expression changed as he saw a huge, round head emerge from behind one of the palaces in the Dragon Palace.

A bald giant, nearly as tall as the Dragon Palace, with a silly grin on his face, was reaching out to pry open a black tower with a pointed roof, struggling to break it off as if he wanted to take it away from the Dragon Palace.

"Watatsumi! What are you doing? Stop right now!"

Seeing the bald sea monster's actions, Neptune's eyes widened in fury, and his entire face turned red with anger.

He gripped the trident and charged toward the location of the Black Tower.

Inside that seashell tower lived his beloved daughter, Shirahoshi, the mermaid princess of Fishman Island.

The reason why Bai Xinghui has lived in the Shell Tower all year round is because of the captain of the bald sea monster, Watatsumi, who is eighty meters tall, and Vander Decken IX, who is a user of the Target-Target Fruit.

That shameless Vander Decken IX proposed to Shirahoshi when she was only six years old.

After his marriage proposal was rejected, Vander Decken flew into a rage and used the power of the Target-Target Fruit to throw all sorts of things at Shirahoshi's residence every day.

Sometimes it was swords, spears, and axes; sometimes it was boulders and shipwrecks.

Sometimes, he even throws the corpses of sea kings at him.

This caused the Dragon Palace to live in constant fear, guarding against all sorts of unexpected situations.

Shirahoshi is in danger every day.

That's why Neptune specifically built a hard-shell tower for White Star to withstand all sorts of attacks.

To avoid Jinbe's pursuit, Vander Decken rarely appeared inside Fishman Island.

The bald sea monster before him was his only subordinate.

They appeared openly in the Dragon Palace, seemingly intending to break the Shell Tower.

"Where is Van der Deiken? Is he here too? Come out here! Van der Deiken!"

Neptune roared and leaped high from the ground, gripping his trident and thrusting it at the massive, mountain-like Watatsumi.

"Whoa! We've been discovered! It's the Great Knight Neptune!"

Upon seeing this, Mianjin looked flustered, shrank his neck, and was about to turn and run away.

"Idiot! Keep him occupied!"

Jinbe, that bastard, is entangled. Neptune is just a bloated old man who has long lost the prestige of the Great Knight of the Sea.

This is a rare opportunity; I'll soon get the white star I've always dreamed of.

Ba ho! Ba ho ho ho!

"If I get Shirahoshi, I can realize my dream of ruling the world, because of her power..."

At that moment, a four-legged merman, stepping on the corpse of a guard, flew from mid-air toward the Hard Shell Tower.

It was none other than the octopus-man Vander Decken IX.

"Van der Deiken! You beast! I'm going to kill you!"

Upon seeing Vanderdeken appear, Neptune immediately abandoned Watatsumi and charged at him with his trident.

"Hehehe, the captain's orders cannot be disobeyed, King Neptune. I can't let you disturb the captain."

The 80-meter-tall Watatsumi spread out its two enormous arms and slapped down from the sky, swatting Neptune, who had jumped into the air and had nowhere to grab hold, down like swatting a fly.

"Hohohoho, my little white star, I've stayed single for five whole years for you."

With a smirk, Van der Deiken landed in front of the hard-shell tower's door, placed his hands on the door knocker, and slowly pushed the wooden door open.

Inside the tower, a mermaid with pink curly hair, light blue eyes, and a pink fishtail was huddled by the bed, shivering.

Her large, light blue eyes were filled with glistening tears.

His face was filled with panic and fear.

"Father, elder brother, Jinbe, please come and save me!"

Although only eleven years old, Shirahoshi already possessed a huge body that was eight meters tall, but she was pitifully timid.

At this point, they were already terrified and completely lost their composure.

When the wooden door was violently pushed open from the outside, and Vander Decken's grotesquely grinning face appeared in Shirahoshi's eyes, the timid mermaid could no longer hold back her tears, which streamed down her face.

"Hehehe, don't cry. I will cherish you from now on, my wife, Princess Shirahoshi~."

Van der Deiken rushed forward impatiently, grabbed Bai Xing's wrist, and roughly dragged her out of the hard-shell tower as she continued to wail.

On the ground, Neptune, hearing his daughter's cries, looked up at her face, which was covered in dust, and his entire face twisted with anger.

"Vanderdeken! Release Shirahoshi!"

"Whoosh!"

Neptune flung the trident he was holding, which whistled as it shot toward Vanderdeken's body.

"Father-in-law, what are you doing? If you accidentally hurt my wife Bai Xing, I will be heartbroken."

Van der Deiken chuckled, and a large hand reached out in front of him, blocking the incoming trident.

With a soft "plop," Mianjin let out a cry of pain, raising his outstretched hand to look at the trident deeply embedded in his arm.

"it hurts!"

His body was too large.

The weapon Neptune threw at him was like a tiny needle compared to him, utterly incapable of causing any harm.

"Hohohoho! Without Jinbe, the entire Ryugu Kingdom is a complete waste. Shark Star is also gone. Neptune, today you have to agree whether you like it or not. From this day forward, Shirahoshi will become my wife, Vander Decken IX."

Van der Deiken, beaming with pride, grabbed the weeping Shirahoshi and jumped onto Watatsumi's outstretched hand.

With one hand supporting Vander Decken and the other grasping Shirahoshi's waist, Watatsumi moved his massive body away from Ryugu Castle.

On the ground, rows of guards brandished their spears and charged toward Watatsumi's outstretched feet, but they could not keep up with his enormous strides.

In this vast Dragon Palace Kingdom, not a single person could stop the bald sea monster from leaving.

"Put down Shirahoshi!"

Neptune, unarmed and with bloodshot eyes, chased after him.

On the plaza, Jinbe, who was engaged in a fierce battle with Jack, causing the air to vibrate and the ground to crumble and crack inch by inch, sensed the situation happening at Ryugu Castle using his Observation Haki, and his expression became increasingly grim.

"That damned Vander Decken, he actually took advantage of the chaos and tried to take Shirahoshi away!"

He delivered a powerful punch to the crazed Jack's chest, sending him flying, and then turned to look at Watatsumi, who was rapidly moving away.

"We absolutely cannot let Vander Decken take Shirahoshi away. Shirahoshi is the future of the entire Fish-Man race. We cannot let her fall into the hands of a scum like him!"

With that thought in mind, Jinbe no longer hesitated. He pushed off the ground with his feet, shattering the earth beneath him, and shot into the sky like a rocket, leaping to the top of the cliff in the plaza.

Jinbe, who was running at full speed, caught up with the bald sea monster Watatsumi and Vander Decken, who were striding away, in just over ten seconds.

Seeing Jinbe leap up from the ground, covered in blood, charging towards him, Vander Decken was so frightened he almost wet his pants on the spot.

"Shinpei...Shinpei! Run! See you at Watanatsu!"

He let out a terrified scream.

Watatsumi was also afraid of Jinbe. Without needing any orders from the captain, he had already accelerated, wanting to escape.

Shirahoshi, who was being held in his hand, saw Jinbe chasing after her and her sobs grew louder.

"Waaaaah, Jinbe-sama, please save me!"
