One Piece: The Salted Fish Fruit

"I want meat with bones!" Luffy's voice came from afar.

"Idiot! Fighting can't shut you up!" everyone said in unison.

"Haha! Lord Luffy is so cute!" Shirahoshi covered her lips and laughed.

Ding!

Mabi vanished instantly and reappeared in front of Shirahoshi, catching a dagger and looking up at the sky.

Several iron chains, each several meters in diameter, pierced through the coating and appeared above Fishman Island. A ship, as large as half the island, descended from the sky, attempting to destroy the entire island.

"Vander Ken! You're asking for it!"

Mabi vanished in an instant before her companions' astonished eyes, tearing through layers of space to teleport directly in front of Vander Ken, where she gazed at his cruel, maniacal laughter.

Mabi reached out and placed her hand on the other person's neck, causing him to suffocate and lose consciousness, then stored him in her spatial storage to extract the Devil Fruit.

"Trouble!" Mabi watched the figure continue to fall without anyone directing it, and a silver-white spatial ability, like quicksand, instantly appeared on her palm. She swung her fist and slammed it down onto the deck below.

"No!" A deafening roar suddenly echoed from afar! Several colossal bodies, each several kilometers tall, surged and raced through the sea.

At the same time, Noah beneath Mabe's feet shattered with a crash!

Three figures from Fishman Island below simultaneously looked up at the sky, searching for the unknown roar.

Chapter 228 The Conversation of Sea Kings!

The Ship of Promise is broken! It seems we can't keep Joey Boy's promise!

It's too broken; even if you found that ethnic group, it would be difficult to repair!

What should we do? After all, the promise will eventually come true!

···

A group of sea kings remained silent, rushing desperately, but they were always just one step behind!

I could sense the presence of the invaders who followed Joey Boy to Fishman Island more than 800 years ago from him!

The water rippled, and a sea king opened its mouth, breaking the awkward atmosphere.

An invader? No wonder he seems so familiar! But he's so young, how did he come from the past to this era?

I don't know! After all, the invaders from back then were all killed by Uranus and that one, but that was more than eight hundred years ago.

not understand!

not understand!

not understand!

···

Silence fell over the ceiling once again!

Mabi looked at the giant sea monsters floating in the deep sea. They first stared at her, and then after a short while, they all shook their heads, as if they were discussing something.

Even with Observation Haki, he could only sense the ripples in the water and had no idea what they were saying. He teleported away from the bubble that was originally Vander Ken's and went to find the translator.

After the figure disappeared, the densely packed wood fragments that Noah below collapsed and flew out were swept away by the surging ocean currents and disappeared into the distance.

"Noah is shattered! One blow was all it took!" Neptune stared wide-eyed at the vanished shadow in the sky. As someone who knew history, he was well aware of Noah's status among the fish-men, who had existed long ago to prepare for the future.

Now it has shattered in the hands of this thin young man in black, leaving nothing behind.

"Abis, can you understand what they're saying?" Mabi, who had reappeared on Fishman Island, asked, stroking Apis's head.

“Those sea kings?” Apis looked up and asked.

"Yes!"

“They said…” Then Apis repeated what she had heard earlier in words.

"Intruders? Why does that sound so familiar? It seems like that's what they called themselves when they landed on that ruined sky island," Mabi asked curiously.

"Why did Mabi and the others call you an intruder, and say that you came from eight hundred years ago?" Everyone asked curiously upon hearing Abis's translation, since Mabi was the only one in the water at the time, so they must have been referring to him.

Robin's eyes gradually lit up, and he looked at Maggie with interest, smiling and waiting quietly for his answer.

"Who knows? I've been drifting at sea on a wooden boat since I can remember, and my father rescued and took me in. Maybe my background is really related to the invaders they talk about, but I know nothing about what happened eight hundred years ago," Maggie said indifferently.

Thinking back to that time on that sky island, everyone else was taken away, leaving only him to be attacked by the mechanical guards, and Uranus changing the direction of his space jump to enter the spaceship. Even when he went to Enies Lobby again to inquire, he didn't hear him reveal any information, only saying that the time hadn't come yet.

Maggie suspected that the intruders the robots spoke of were attacking because they didn't belong to this world.

However, he was not born with any special abilities; his powerful physical skills were entirely acquired through shameless and persistent apprenticeship. He possessed a human body, yet he was completely different from the two types of demons he encountered on the Sky Island—one in the murals and the other in physical form.

"Another one who doesn't know his own background." Upon hearing Mabi's explanation, the group who wanted to know about Mabi's background immediately deflated and dispersed to rest after the battle. After all, the memory of the true form of that Devil Fruit on Skypiea was still vivid in their minds; the high-temperature baking and the strong defensive ability had caused them great suffering.

If Mabi really was someone from eight hundred years ago, then his formidable fighting power would make sense, but the fact that even he himself didn't know immediately dampened everyone's enthusiasm.

"It's my fault," Mabi said helplessly, shrugging. As for her origins, if what those sea kings said was true, perhaps only the New World could provide the answer.

While everyone was discussing Maple, the Sea Kings above had already started communicating with Shirahoshi. Apis listened curiously from the side, occasionally telling Robin key information, which Robin then wrote down in her notebook.

Holding his trident, Neptune commanded the arriving fish-man soldiers to protect and capture the new fish-man pirate crew and the trapped human pirates. Looking up at the giant figure in the sky, Shirahoshi's pleasant conversation with them made him realize that the legendary fish-man king had been born in his daughter.

In the distance, the final roar of the battle caused a corner of the sturdy platform to collapse. Hody, who had repeatedly taken banned drugs, was once again blasted into the rubble by Luffy. The powerful attack shattered his bones and tore his muscles, rendering him completely immobile. He could only lie in agony amidst the ruins, bound by the fish-man soldiers.

"Hey everyone, I won!" Luffy shouted as he regained his strength, realizing that his opponent was no longer able to resist.

They discovered that their companions had already boarded the ship and started the four metal propellers, with the entire Sunny hovering in the sky, awaiting its final departure.

Zoro leaned against the railing, looking down and laughing.

"Let's go! You're the only one left!"

"Damn it! I'm the only one left!" Seeing that everyone else had finished and only Luffy was left, he became furious and stretched out his arms to jump onto the landing deck.

"Let's go! Set sail! Set sail! We've done what we needed to do, let the fishmen know how ruthless Fishman Street is, and leave the rest to Neptune."

After all, he is the ruler of a country. When Maple saw Luffy land, she immediately called on Merry, who was in charge of steering the ship. The shrimp soldiers and crab generals below had never even been outside Fishman Island before, and they were not worth getting angry at. Fighting them and running away to have fun was the right thing to do at the moment.

Looking up at the sky, I could sense through my Observation Haki that the sea kings in the ocean were still silently watching me from above Fishman Island, unwilling to leave for a long time.

"Come with me to the Dragon Palace. I want to treat you well. My father just promised to let me hold the unfinished banquet there, and I've already informed them that they're preparing the ingredients." Shirahoshi, who was sitting on the deck, held up a Den Den Mushi and smiled.

"Great! Let's have a feast! Let's have a feast!" Luffy shouted excitedly, still thinking about the bone and meat.

"I want the mermaids from the Fishman's Hall to keep me company!" Sanji exclaimed cheerfully, his body covered in red hearts. He was then knocked to the ground by a punch.

"Idiot! You still want mermaids at this hour? Although the mermaid ladies' service and dancing were quite good before!" Usopp said with a smile on his lips after beating up Sanji.

"Oh ho ho! Mermaids? I really want to compose a song for their dance!"

"Great! I'll go tell my brothers to come over." Bai Xing covered her lips and laughed happily.

"These men!" Nami sighed, covering her forehead in exasperation as she watched her companions become completely captivated by the mermaid.

Each update will start with at least 10,000 words! I'm not a contracted writer, so please forgive me for not keeping you in suspense by stopping chapters!

Chapter 229 The Stowaways on the Ship!

"Ugh! So comfortable, the mermaid ladies are so enthusiastic! Fishman Island truly lives up to its reputation as a relaxing paradise. I wonder when I can play with the mermaid ladies again." Mabi leaned against the soft object on her back and made a pleasant sound.

"Hohoho! My dance music will surely take the mermaid ladies' dance moves to the next level." Brook, who was also slumped on the ground beside him, had his spirit rising from the top of his head with a slight excitement.

"Waaaah! Mami, why didn't you stop Luffy? He's already being oppressed by darkness before even reaching the New World."

"They actually dared to challenge her! She's one of the Five Emperors!"

"Yeah! Yeah! We're going to be hunted down by the Five Emperors!" Chopper and Usopp were completely dark, looking utterly dejected as if they couldn't see tomorrow.

"Relax! Relax! Didn't I call her and ask her to give me face?" Maggie said nonchalantly, straightening up slightly and patting Jack's fur to form a comfortable backrest before lying down, which made Jack let out a lazy hum.

"But she said she doesn't want to give you face! She'll chop you up if she sees you again!" The lazy tone immediately caused the two to roar in anger.

"Heh! Want to chop her up? I can accompany her!" Zoro, holding a bottle of liquor, curled up his lips into a wicked smile.

"Oh no, oh no! Even Zoro wants to fight."

"Beautiful mermaid! Sweet kisses, warm embraces, why must we leave so soon?" Sanji, leaning on the railing, looked utterly dejected, but the red lipstick marks all over his face revealed what he was grieving over.

Snapped!Snapped!Snapped!Snapped!

The sight of the men enjoying themselves further provoked Nami, who then pointed her long staff directly at the heads of the foolish men and the reluctant ones.

"You bastards! You have your own beautiful daughter at home, yet you're still thinking about other women."

"That's the legendary mermaid! Our fantasy!" several old silver-clad men exclaimed in unison, only to be struck by lightning.

"Nami, kill them! You still go out and find other women even though you have them! Seven of a kind!" Mia laughed and cursed as she threw down the cards in her hand.

"Two Aces!" Angelia glanced at the cards in her hand, then exclaimed, playing her cards.

"Four threes! I won!" Apis exclaimed excitedly, throwing down her cards and reaching out to the two women for more.

"Give money! Give money!"

"Abis is so lucky! Her wallet is empty again." The two girls said helplessly, seeing Abis's happy look, but they still obediently took out a bill from the pile of money in front of them and handed it to her.

"Haha! Luck is on my side." Apis smiled broadly as she took the money she won from playing Dou Dizhu and stuffed it into her small purse. Then she looked at Mebius and the others, who were covered in scorch marks, and asked them a question.

Why is Nami so angry?

"Abise, you're still young and don't understand much yet! But remember, beat up any man who likes to lie in a woman's arms first." Mia glanced at the group and whispered her instructions, completely unaware whether she was conveying the right or wrong idea. Angelia, equally curious, leaned over to listen to their conversation.

"Is that so?" Apis asked with a hint of curiosity, but these past two days they had indeed ignored her and gone around chatting with the mermaid sisters!

They deserve it!

"I'm innocent! I'm just being used as a cushion and I deserve to be struck by lightning." Jack stretched out his furry tiger paw to remind him, and a breeze blew by, causing rows of black tiger fur to drift away and reveal the black and white undercoat.

"Um! New! New, can I get off the ship now? You guys are too scary!" A few strands of long, white, hedgehog-like hair cautiously peeked out from the kitchen and said timidly. She was still a little scared from the battle between her companions. She was not only ruthless to outsiders but also showed no mercy to her own companions.

"Huh? Hachi!"

Upon seeing that familiar octopus body, the friends who were reading, playing cards, fishing, and steering the boat immediately shouted, but no one invited him to board the boat.

“New, Jinbe told me that there are many people with superpowers on your ship, and the consequences would be unimaginable if they fell into the water.”
