The Bizarre Adventure of Pirates

Uh……

Actually, if you really want to say it, there is.

Hodie Jones's expression became uncertain.

And that choice was the person he wanted to kill—King Neptune.

"Perhaps this is my chance..." As his men watched, Hody Jones began to pace back and forth in the room. "If I use that human to deplete the power of Neptune's men, I might be able to take over this kingdom without fighting."

Thinking of this, a gleam of light flashed in his little eyes.

Hodie Jones saw it clearly just now. Not only did he not include that loser from the Flying Pirates, there was also the fish-man woman with the least presence.

The only ones who could really be considered a threat were those two humans.

Two people, against an entire kingdom of fishmen?

"Ha, my chance has come!" The more Hody Jones thought about it, the more plausible it became, and the smile on his face became more ferocious.

Meanwhile, in the Murloc Palace.

King Neptune leaned back in his chair with his head supported by one hand, his expression showing deep worry.

He is the king, and a good king who cares about his people. What makes him so worried is naturally the future of Fishman Island.

After the Great Pirate Age began, many navy and pirates passing through here also began to kidnap and rob the merfolk on the island on a large scale. Since young female merfolk can be sold at a high price in human trafficking, human pirates who came here often kidnapped merfolk on the island.

It was not until Whitebeard, one of the Four Emperors, took Fishman Island as his own territory that the navy and pirates dared not continue to invade.

But now that Whitebeard has retired, the flag of the Whitebeard Pirates can no longer serve as a guarantee.

I remembered again the prophecy that Fishman Island would soon cease to exist.

Neptune sighed.

Oh, I am worried——

Chapter 558: The Destruction of the Murloc Kingdom (Part )

Two years ago, when the "Marine War" was in full swing, the fortune teller of Fishman Island suddenly made a prophecy: the giant ship that fell from the sky would plunge the Fishman Kingdom into an irreparable disaster.

Charlie, who made the prophecy, could not describe the scene, but only told Neptune to be wary of all outsiders.

Neptune agreed.

In fact, he did a good job.

Under his rule, Fishman Island was a solid block, and all industries were stable and prosperous. Although there were constant minor troubles, the overall trend was almost stable.

But Neptune was still worried and thought about the prophecy every day.

"The huge ship... should be Noah... but that ship..."

Just as he was thinking about it, the guard walked into the palace with a spear in hand and said with his head lowered, "Your Majesty, there is someone outside who wants to see you."

Neptune was slightly stunned and asked, "Is it the left minister or the right minister?"

The guard looked embarrassed. "Your Majesty, it's not the left and right ministers, but someone outside the palace who wants to see you. He said he has something very important to tell you. We questioned him repeatedly, but he refused to say anything. He just said that if we don't tell your Majesty, the Merman Kingdom will probably become history."

Hearing this, Neptune burst out laughing.

The Murloc Kingdom becomes history?

Nonsense.

At this moment, an idea flashed through his mind, and he suddenly stopped laughing: "Are you sure he really said that?"

The guard said affirmatively: "It is absolutely true."

Neptune had some subtle premonitions in his heart.

Could the person outside the palace be related to the prophecy...

"Bring him in." After thinking it over, Neptune decided to talk to the other party in person.

If it is some boring matter, just send him away. Since you have nothing else to do, you might as well meet and talk.

The guards received the king's order and left with their spears.

After a while, a team of fully armed kingdom soldiers escorted Hody Jones into the hall.

All he saw was the splendor and magnificence. Hoddy Jones lowered his head deeply, fearing that others would see the greed in his eyes. However, this behavior made him look like a country bumpkin who had never seen the world, and it didn't seem out of place at all.

Neptune looked at Hody Jones in the audience, with a dazed look in his eyes. After a moment's observation, he asked, "Have we met before?"

Even though Hody Jones was extremely reluctant, he knew the priorities and would not lose his temper at such a critical moment. He answered honestly, "Your Majesty, I used to be a guard of the kingdom."

"Oh~" Nip suddenly understood.

No wonder he felt that the fishman boy opposite looked familiar. If he had worked in the palace before, then everything would be explained.

"Oh, what's your name?" Neptune asked condescendingly in a calm tone.

Hoddy Jones didn't give his real name, but made up one at random. But that wasn't the point. The point was what he said next, which made Neptune jump up from his seat.

"Your Majesty, something terrible has happened. Some human pirates are colluding with Vander Decken of the Flying Pirates and want to harm Princess Shirahoshi!"

"What!" Neptune stood up suddenly and his face changed instantly.

In a family with many children, the youngest daughter is usually the most favored, and Neptune is no exception.

The late princess left him four children, three sons and one daughter.

His daughter is innocent and naive, but she is targeted by the villain Vander Decken IX. Neptune has no choice but to send his beloved daughter into the cold tower in an attempt to protect her safety in this way.

This matter was originally a thorn in Neptune's heart. Any father would not feel good if he knew that someone was going crazy with his precious daughter.

But that man is a long-standing local tyrant in Fishman Island, and he has the support of an extremely terrifying sea giant.

And he is not only a father, but also a king, responsible for everyone in the country.

"Who is the human pirate?" Neptune asked with a sullen face, without any smile on his face anymore.

How could Hody Jones know who that scary guy was? He rolled his eyes and said, "I don't know his name, but..."

"But what." Neptune's tone became more urgent.

Hoddy Jones said to Neptune cautiously, "But I saw a symbol of two intertwined dragons on that man, and it seemed there was also a hook."

Double dragon intertwined...hook...

Neptune recalled useful things in his mind.

At this moment, the captain of the lobster guards who was responsible for protecting him swallowed his saliva and reminded tremblingly: "Your Majesty, if this is true, it may be the group above us."

Top of head?

Sabaody Archipelago, John Pirates!

Neptune only felt a deep chill spreading in his heart and gradually crawling all over his body.

The leader of the John Pirates, John Joestar, is a figure of equal status to the retired Whitebeard. If he wants to occupy Fishman Island...

Neptune was so dazed that he almost fainted.

Hodie Jones, who was secretly observing Neptune's expression at the bottom of the stairs, felt disdainful in his heart.

That's it, King?

No wonder the fishmen have always been suppressed by humans.

With a king like this, when will the mermen finally rise?

"Wait until I take that position..." A crazy ambition flashed in Hodie Jones' eyes.

Just then, three burly fishmen walked in one after another.

They are Neptune's sons, Sharkstar, Kingstar and Wheelstar.

The three princes were originally reporting the situation in the city to Neptune. When they saw this scene, they couldn't help but ask questions out of curiosity.

Neptune trusted his three sons deeply and told them everything about Hodie Jones's "true experience".

Hearing that Vander Decken had colluded with human pirates to attack their sister, the three princes were filled with righteous indignation and asked for battle one after another: "Father, humans are going too far. I swear to defend Ryugu Castle to the death!"

"That's right, how could Shirahoshi fall into the hands of pirates!"

"Father, why don't you let me lead the guards out of the city and fight to the death with Vander Decken and his men!"

Neptune felt overwhelmed by the quarrels among his three sons.

The vague prophecy of destruction is still ringing in our ears, and now pirates are invading again.

Fishman Island has never done anything wrong, so why is it plagued by so many disasters?

Hodie Jones felt so happy to see everything.

Neptune is incompetent.

The three princes were warlike but reckless.

Just right to be used as cannon fodder.

Thinking in this way, the arrival of that human being actually became an opportunity for him, Hodie Jones. He was much more useful than that good-for-nothing Vander Decken.

only……

A pretty figure flashed through his mind, and Hodie Jones's fantasy time came to an abrupt end.

Neptune and those useless princes are nothing. The only one who can be considered a threat is Shirahoshi.

Others may not know, but he once saw it clearly.

That kind of power that can control sea kings, if used properly, can definitely destroy the entire world!

Hodie Jones lowered his head. "Perhaps I should change my plan."

He had previously wanted to kill Shirahoshi and completely exterminate the threat, but now it seems that instead of 'not allowing anyone to use it', 'it's better for me to use it myself'.

Hodie Jones licked his lips.

Maybe there is no Vander Decken in the world, or maybe everyone is Vander Decken.

……

……

Ark Noah.

Once upon a time, Joyboy and the Mermaid Princess Poseidon gathered the power of the entire Mermaid Island to create the 'Ark of Promise' in an attempt to transfer all the Mermaids to live on land.

But due to some truths hidden in history, the ship was never able to fulfill the "promise" given to it and slept forever on the bottom of the sea.

Tezulo reached out and touched the moss-covered hull, and said to Jon helplessly, "Sir, even if you have the ability to move this ship to the sea, the amount of Bailey needed to repair it would probably be an astronomical figure. With so much spare money, we might as well build a new one."

Noah is already a wreck, almost like scrap.

Jon smiled and said, "I said it works, and it works."

Changing the subject, "As for repairs... it doesn't matter at all. I have a way to restore it to its original state. You just need to think about how to integrate your marine entertainment city with this unique ship."

After a moment's silence, he added: "Perhaps we can go one step further and build an aerospace ship."

Spaceship...

Just like the former Golden Lion Shiki.

Tezulo's eyes lit up.

Like Roger, Golden Lion is also a legend of the previous era. The reason why the Flying Pirate is called the Flying Pirate is because his huge ship flying in the sky is so conspicuous.

If only his offshore entertainment city could fly into the sky.

hiss--

There is a head start.

It’s so interesting!

Lord Jon is definitely a genius!

"I understand. I'll make a plan as soon as I get back and try to finish this task within a month." Tezoro said with great anticipation.

Jon nodded with satisfaction, "You are worthy of being my chief steward. I'll leave this matter to you."

The ship issue is resolved.
