Chapter 807: Self-Righteous"This matter... I already knew!""What?!"Shirahoshi stated that she already knew Hody Joneswas the true culprit behind Queen Otohime's murder.Everyone was astonished, but the most surprised and shocked was Hody Jones."You... what did you say?!""You already knew I hurt your mother?! What do you mean by that, Shirahoshi?!"Shirahoshi didn't break down upon learning the truth; instead, she remained calm, with no change in her expression except for the tears in her eyes."A few years after the incident, Mekaro secretly told me the truth.""It used to be the army's pet, and it witnessed everything that day."Jinbe asked, puzzled, "Then why didn't you tell us, Princess Shirahoshi?""If I had, someone would surely resent Mr. Hody Jones, and that would make Mother sad...""This was the last promise Mother and I made: not to hate any criminal..."Shirahoshi cried as she explained the reason."Shirahoshi, you... you've been silently enduring it all this time?!"Neptune and the three princes cried, weeping over their dereliction of duty as a father and brothers."Truly magnificent!"Sanji also exclaimed.Franky, once again a man with heavy tears, shouted, "Bastard!! You're super awesome, Shirahoshi, I admire you!!"Not hating the murderer of her mother was because of the last promise she made with her mother.Satoru also admired Shirahoshi's strong inner self, wondering how she could endure it, how she could not hate.Hody Jones laughed, "Ga ha ha ha!!""Mekaro, you're something else. Thanks to you for choosing such a foolish girl to tell the truth to. If it were anyone else, my plan would have fallen apart long ago!!""Listen carefully, Shirahoshi!! In this world, your way is called foolishness!!""Because you don't hate me, the country will be destroyed!! Because of your foolishness, you handed this country over to me; I should even thank you!!"Hody Jones still hadn't given up on his goal of making Shirahoshi emotionally collapse."Don't listen to his nonsense, you've done nothing wrong, Princess Shirahoshi!"Jinbe immediately shouted."Bastard!!"The three princes were almost at their breaking point.Sanji also ground his heel, "I can't wait to kick all his teeth out."Satoru nodded in agreement, but... "You've said enough, Hody Jones.""To me, it's just the barking of an incompetent dog.""Shut up! You useless human!!""Water Shot!!"Before Satoru could even speak, Hody Jonescouldn't resist attacking.Water droplets struck, but Satoru remained calm and unmoving. Little White, beside him, casually waved a hand, dispersing the water droplets, and glared angrily at Hody Jones, "You're courting death!"Hody Jones was startled by the glare; he actually felt fear, but immediately composed himself, self-deceptively convincing himself."I only just spoke, and you couldn't help but attack.""Still saying you're not incompetent and afraid.""You say Princess Shirahoshi's way is foolish.""So, you think your way is the true path? The weapon to save Fish-Man Island's future?"It was a question, but Satoru left no room for Hody Jones to respond."Then I'll tell you now, your way can also be simply described in three words..."He couldn't curse himself, so Satoru elbowed Little White, who was acting as his proxy."Absolute nonsense!!""Turning against humans, going to war with humans?""A self-deceiving, frog-in-a-well, overly confident man!!"Little White: "Pah!""Don't forget, what was the situation of Fish-Man Island 200 years ago, when it hadn't joined the World Government?""Even if you were given the decision-making power of Fish-Man Island, if you dared to say today to withdraw from the World Government and turn against humans in war!""If you said it in the morning, by the afternoon, you'd be waiting for the country's destruction!""Self-righteous..."Little White forgot his lines and pulled out a note."Ah, oh...""Useless!!""Ten thousand troops make you puff out your chest?""Calling you a frog in a well insults the term itself.""Any force on the seas could inflict devastating damage on Fish-Man Island.""Ryugu Palace's 200 years of effort, Queen Otohime's solo adventure to the surface, were all destroyed by a... thing like you.""There are many problems in the coexistence of humans and the Fish-Man Race.""I have to admit, your advocacy for war also has a point.""But it's not about advocating for war; it's about strength!""If your strength is lacking, you'll be bullied.""For Fish-Man Island to coexist with humans and live on the surface,""It needs to be friendly with humans, and have enough strength to prove it's not to be trifled with.""Queen Otohime managed to get a petition for friendly coexistence between the Fish-Man Raceand humans from those damned Celestial Dragons.""Simply put, it was a truce agreement.""I don't know how she convinced the Celestial Dragons, but I admire that she actually succeeded.""Even if her approach wasn't entirely correct, and the World Government doesn't represent all humans, regardless, the coexistence of the Fish-Man Raceand humans is a matter that requires time.""But the most important thing is that there was an opportunity, a beginning.""You... thing!! You brutally destroyed that opportunity, that beginning!!"Little White: "Utterly idiotic!!!""Is going to war with humans the true path?""Fishman supremacy?""You mean killing all humans and occupying the land.""Or enslaving humans, right?""I ask you.""Are you worthy?!"The three words, "Are you worthy?!" echoed throughout the plaza.Satoru's emotions were also full; Hody Jones was truly one of his top three most disliked villains.Either have intelligence, or have strength.This guy had neither.His evaluation of him was four words: self-righteous.Satoru's words were also deafening.Hody Jones was so angry he almost boiled over.Sanji felt relieved. Indeed, one shouldn't argue with Satoru.Most importantly, the thirty thousand captives on Hody Jones's side heard Satoru's words and had their fighting spirit ignited."Exactly!! You're not worthy!!""Are you worthy of killing all humans?!""Kill him!! Copy cat Satoru!!""Copy cat Satoru? Eh!!""You're still alive?!"Satoru had been present for so long, and these pirates finally realized.
Chapter 808: One Is Enough!!Hody Jones talked on and on, admitting that he was the murderer of Queen Otohime, and disparaging Otohime and Shirahoshi, all in an attempt to make Shirahoshi suffer a mental breakdown. Unfortunately, it had no effect.Since he had said so much, Satoru naturally couldn't refrain from talking back.After a round of words, Hody Jones was thoroughly verbally abused—without using any vulgarities (Xiao Bai had already taken care of that).Every word struck his heart.Hody Jones was so angry his whole body felt like it was cooked.Most importantly, the captured pirates under his command were convinced by Satoru's rhetoric, rousing their fighting spirit, and making them support Satoru... "You're still alive?!"It was only then that Hody Jones's pirate captives realized: hadn't Satoru already died?"Yes, Satoru is dead. I am his younger brother, Hei Yun."Satoru was speaking utter nonsense with a straight face.The captives fell silent."Really?"After all, when Satoru supposedly died, the Marineheavily publicized the news everywhere to cover up the fact that Ace hadn't died, making the story highly credible.But Satoru was standing there alive and well now. That didn't make sense!!"Whether it's true or false.""You want me to kill Hody Jones!""Then summon your guts and rebel against him!!""Help him, and you die no matter what! Rebel against him, and you have a sliver of hope!""The choice is yours!!"Satoru's words hammered into the minds of the thirty thousand captives. They already knew that Hody Jones's madness meant he would never spare them, so they might as well do as Satoru suggested.Fight!"Kill!!!""You foul-smelling Fishmen!!""I'll fight you bastards to the death!!"Before the main battle even began, Hody Jones's side erupted into civil war, with thirty thousand humans fighting against seventy thousand Fishmen."You damnable things!!""Trash!! Obey me obediently!!""Yabusame!"Hody Jones was so furious he continuously sprinkled water drops from the sea beasts to attack the captives. Many captives fell, but they gritted their teeth and climbed back up, treating Hody Jones's words as mere wind."Damn it! Damn it!!""You human scum!!""North Sea Great Kraken!! Kill them!!"At Hody Jones's command, the North Sea Great Kraken also crawled into the square.However, before the North Sea Great Kraken could act, Luffy recognized it."Ika-chan!""It's you, hahaha!"The North Sea Great Kraken had helped pull the carriage carrying everyone to Fish-Man Island, and Luffy already considered him a friend.Luffy's voice caught the North Sea Great Kraken's attention. It was only surprised that the ones it was supposed to fight were these people.Suddenly feeling a gaze fixed upon it, the Kraken stiffly looked over and immediately met Xiao Bai's eyes.Xiao Bai's gaze wasn't particularly fierce, and a smile even played on its lips. But this smile was terrifying in the North Sea Great Kraken's eyes, causing it to instantly defect, wrapping its tentacles around the Fishmen."What! The North Sea Great Kraken also defected!!""It was clearly so afraid of the Captain!!"The Fishmen fell into panicked fighting. Just a moment ago they had made a grand entrance, and now they were embroiled in civil war.Hody Jones was so genuinely furious that his lungs felt like they were about to explode, practically developing mastitis.Meanwhile, Neptune and his allies thought it was incredible that Satoru had managed to provoke the enemy into a civil war just by talking. No wonder Fire Fist Ace always mentioned him whenever he visited Ryugu Palace... If the internal fighting continued, Hody Jones's forces would be crippled before the main battle started. Even though Hody Jones was livid, he had to issue orders."Sea Beasts, stop the North Sea Great Kraken and those damned human traitors!!""The rest of you, charge and kill!!!""I am the Commander!!""I will slaughter the human kingdoms in Mary Geoise until they collapse!!""I will drag all the humans in the world into the sea and make them our slaves!!""In the near future, not a single person will dare to resist the Fish-Man Race again!! The world of pirates will be the same!!""I am the one worthy of being the true Pirate King!!!"Hody Jones once again demonstrated what it meant to be conceited and overly self-confident.The louder he shouted, the funnier Satoru found it, even pitying him slightly.A pitiful, self-deceiving Ah Q!And his last sentence happened to step on Luffy's landmine."Pirate King...""Kill!! New Fish-Man Pirates!!""Ooooh!!!"The Sea Beasts blocked the North Sea Great Krakenand the thirty thousand humans, while seventy thousand Fishmen roared and charged forward.Seventy thousand people, that's quite a lot."Seventy thousand Fishmen? Not enough to go around."Sanji said this arrogantly, stomping his foot.Zoro flicked his sword out with his thumb. "A disorganized rabble, nothing to fear. They aren't even Marine elite forces.""Neptune Army, heed my command!!"Neptune also spoke up and began giving orders. Everyone was preparing, but at that moment, they saw Luffy advancing alone.One man facing seventy thousand people alone.Facing the Fishman who leaped down to slash at him, Luffy glared fiercely.Conqueror's Haki burst forth.Even Hody Jones, the boss on the opposite side, couldn't help but tremble, let alone his subordinates.The instant the Haoshoku swept past the seventy thousand people, the first fifty thousand collapsed.Luffy stood there, facing nothing but collapsed Fishmen, while the remaining twenty thousand Fishmen, who were further back and leaning on each other to stay upright, stared at Luffy as if they had seen a demon.Luffy stood tall and straight, embodying the saying: One man defending the pass holds back ten thousand!To be honest, the current Luffy wouldn't even be worth mentioning in Mary Geoise.It was easy to see how ridiculous Hody Jones's boast about slaughtering the human kingdoms in Mary Geoise until they collapsed was."Ah... Ah!!! What kind of move was that!!""What did he do!!!"Even though the remaining twenty thousand Fishmen were still conscious, their morale had completely collapsed.Hody Jones also widened his eyes, his mouth agape, unable to utter a word.Everyone in the Straw Hat Pirates and the humans nearby knew this was Haki. If they reached Fish-Man Island without knowing what Haki was, going to the New World would be pure suicide.Jinbe was astonished that Luffy's Conqueror's Hakihad grown so much in two years.Neptune, the Three Princes, the Two Ministers, and the people of the Neptune Army were just as surprised as Hody Jones, but while Hody Jones was terrified, they were delighted.Shirahoshi also covered her mouth, thinking, Mr. Luffy is so amazing!!Sanji, smoking a cigarette, said, "Wiping out so many in one go, that Conqueror's Haki is pretty good."Zoro smiled, "If he couldn't even manage that much, we'd have to look for a new Captain."Xiao Bai, standing next to Satoru, was even more arrogant, "This level is just barely acceptable.""In that case, it seems you have Conqueror's Hakitoo,"Satoru asked.Xiao Bai replied with a smile, "Don't envy me, bro."Satoru ignored him.With the Fishmen fallen, there was nothing obstructing the distance between Luffy and Hody Jones; they were face to face.Luffy spoke."Your name is Hody, right!""I'm definitely going to punch you away!!""It doesn't matter to me where you are or what kind of king you want to be!!""But! There's only room for ONE king among the Pirates!!"As soon as Luffy said this, everyone in the Straw Hat Pirates, including Jinbe, smiled.Luffy sprang up, his leg pushing off the ground, and his fist swelled up to a massive size.The punch came down—this was the signal for war!!
Chapter 809: To the End of HellLuffy was at the very front, slamming down a giant fist.This was the signal to start the war!"The war has begun!""Neptune Army! Attack!"At Neptune's command, the three princes led the army forward with high morale.Jinbe naturally wouldn't stand idly by.Zoro and Sanji had been waiting for a long time."There are so few left, not enough to cut!""I won't let you destroy this mermaid paradise!"Robin doesn't like to fight, but that doesn't mean she can't fight."In this country where important history slumbers..."How should I put it, Brook always seemed nonchalant, no matter the scale of the battle."Yohohoho! The atmosphere is great!""Alright! thousand sunny, land!""Come on! New weapon, Warrior Dock!!!""Alright! It has begun."Satoru was also very excited! Then he sat down in a chair and crossed his legs."What a pity, no popcorn."There was no need for Satoru to make a move against Hody Jones's rabble.He just needed to guard against Vander Decken I's designs on Shirahoshi from the ship... "Truly, the situation changed in an instant."Hody Jones's subordinate, Zeo, said. He was a Sawshark Fishman with many black and white stripes on his body.Originally, it was 100,000 against 30,000.Under Satoru's 'mouth-cannon', it became 70,000 against 60,000.Then, under Luffy's Haoshoku, only 20,000 remained against 60,000.It was a huge reversal of the situation."What, are you scared?"The number one swordsman of Fish-Man Island, who, despite being called a subordinate, had more of a mercenary relationship with Hody Jones, the Blue Ring Octopus (Poisonous Species) Merman Hyozo, replied."I'm not afraid!"Zeo considered himself a Fish-Man District noble; how should I put it, he was just stubborn."20,000 against 60,000!""But we have the Energy Steroid!""The advantage is on our side!"As Zeo's words fell, Hody Jones's wail echoed across the plaza.After being swept by Luffy's Observation Haki, he looked at his trembling arm, unwilling to believe the truth, and immediately swallowed a large amount of Energy Steroid (E.S.)!His wail was the effect of the E.S. taking hold.His body underwent a strange transformation, his physique grew, and even his hair turned white, greatly increasing his imposing aura."Oh! Does the Energy Steroid have this effect too?"Ikaros Much said. He was also a New Fish-Man Pirates cadre, a Giant Squid Fishman, a long-bearded man wearing a racer's helmet."How do you feel, Captain?! You look much more delicious, kakkah!"The one who said this was Daruma, also a New Fish-Man Pirates cadre, a Cigar Daruma Shark Fishman, wearing an ancient Eastern warrior's helmet, and the smallest in stature among all the cadres.Hody Jones got up from the ground and laughed up to the sky."Gahahahaha!""This feeling... is incomparable!"He regained his confidence.His eyes fixed on Shirahoshi, Hody Jones flicked out a water drop."Die, Shirahoshi!""Water Shot!""Princess!""Scaredy-shira!""Shirahoshi!"Everyone worried for Shirahoshi. Two were Sanjiand Luffy, followed by Neptune and the others.But just as the water drop reached one meter in front of Shirahoshi, it was deflected by another flying water drop.Luffy held back the punch he was about to throw."Oh, she's fine. You had me worried for nothing.""That human! It's him again!"Daruma said.Human, again—these two words naturally referred to Satoru.Satoru sat in a chair on the thousand sunny, with Shirahoshi right next to the thousand sunny.Against Hody Jones's water drop, Satoru casually flicked out a water drop of his own, deflecting it.Fish-Man Karate was something Satoru had used from the very beginning, and with Jinbe, the current highest-ranked Fish-Man Karate practitioner, also here, it wasn't something to be replicated just like that.Daruma was surprised because Hody Jones's strength had been greatly enhanced by the Energy Steroid. Satoru had been able to neutralize Hody Jones's water drops at noah before, but he didn't expect him to be able to do it now too!What he didn't know was that Satoru at noah back then was just a clone.Jinbe knew Satoru's abilities, so he wasn't surprised that a human like Satoru knew Fish-Man Karate and possessed considerable strength."I'll keep an eye on Princess Shirahoshi.""You guys just focus on taking that guy down."Satoru said.Luffy indicated he understood.Sanji said, "I'll temporarily give you the knight's honor! Make sure to protect her well!"In response, Satoru said,"Don't worry, if the princess loses one hair, Luffy will lose two!""Is that okay, Luffy?"Luffy didn't answer, just smiled, raised both hands, clapped his fists together, and locked his gaze on Hody Jones."Let's go, everyone!"...The Fish-Man Island arc battle formally begins!This might be the easiest battle since entering the Grand Line, oh, except for the Drum Kingdom arc in Chopper's hometown."Party Music!"Brook shouted before playing his violin, and the music made the Fishmen on the opposing side see illusions of a carnival night, making them happy and excited, forgetting about the battle."Alright, you're all cut!""Carnival Night · Swift Blade Slash · Fantasia!"With a flash of his blade, dozens of Fishmen instantly fell."Move aside if you don't want to die!""Three Sword Style · Black Rope · Great Dragon Twister!"Zoro unleashed three slashes, the blades creating a powerful tornado that cut through the Fishmen's shields and moved forward."Run away!""It won't stop!""How far will it chase us until it ends?!"To this, Zoro replied with full swagger,"To the end of hell!"..."The battle has begun, but unfortunately, there's nothing worth watching. The opponents are too weak."This was Satoru's complaint."I'll close my eyes for a bit. When Vander Decken Ior noah makes a move, call me, Xiao Bai."After saying that, Satoru closed his eyes.Xiao Bai thought, 'You're really something,' but he wouldn't dare say that out loud."Yes, sir.""Do you need me to fan you?"Satoru ignored him. After Xiao Bai scanned Satorufrom head to toe, he only shifted his gaze to Shirahoshi when Satoru raised a friendly international gesture.No one knew what he was thinking.And Satoru closing his eyes was naturally not for sleeping.He still remembered what he told Ace; he had to plan for Luffy's ultimate dream...
Chapter 810: Revolutionary Army and the MarineAt Gyoncorde Plaza on Fish-Man Island.Ryugu Kingdom and the rebels led by Hody Jonesbegan their war.Of course, the main fighting force on RyuguKingdom's side was the Straw Hat Pirates.The main fighting force on Hody Jones's side was also him and his other cadres.The outcome would depend on their battle.The early stages of the battle were boring.Satoru closed his eyes, not to sleep, but to use this opportunity to begin his plan.What plan?To prepare for a rainy day.To prepare for Luffy's ultimate dream, the dream of hosting a world-class banquet.A world-class banquet, regardless of race.What is this? This is declaring war on the World Government!!The World Government would not agree, those five old men would not agree, and Imu, who is at the top of this world and shrouded in mystery, would also not agree.If nothing is done first, how difficult it will be!Joy Boy 800 years ago failed.Luffy's father, Dragon, has spent over twenty years enduring, lurking, and waiting for the right moment.So, Satoru decided to go and see the Revolutionary Army.Perhaps, with his different ideas, he could offer the Revolutionary Army some different 參考意見.He also planned to infiltrate the Marine to see if he could get some internal information.The Revolutionary Army is relatively simple.As for the Marine, it depends on luck... "Uh... hello, Sabo, long time no see..."Inside a narrow single toilet stall.Sabo sat on the toilet. He had always carried the bullet Robin gave him, but he didn't expect their meeting to be so... awkward.Sabo forced a smile, "Haha, you really came at a... coincidental time... Do you want me to give you a hug now?There's Ai Baiyun, so let's have a Sa Bai Yun.Sa Bai Yun quickly waved his hand, "No rush, I'll go out first. When you're done, come out, wash your hands, and then we can talk. It's not too late."..."Looks like an independent toilet."Sa Bai Yun looked at the toilet. There was only one toilet seat, the one Sabo was currently occupying, and it was designed for wet and dry separation, but... shouldn't wet and dry separation be for separating the shower? What's the point of separating the toilet?This was not a question worth pondering. After thinking for a moment, Sa Bai Yun walked to the sink and checked his hairstyle in the mirror above it.At this moment, Sabo, reflected in the mirror behind him, opened the door and came out.Sa Bai Yun didn't think much of it, but Sabo was still a bit embarrassed. It's fine when you shower, but why is it always when you're using the toilet!Sabo walked over, and Sa Bai Yun moved aside. Sabo understood and turned on the faucet to wash his hands.For someone skilled in martial arts, quickly evaporating water droplets from the body was not difficult.The two looked at each other, as if nothing had happened just now, and this was their first meeting."Hahaha, long time no see, Satoru!""Indeed, indeed, long time no see, Sabo!"The two embraced deeply, expressing the joy of brothers reunited.Then the toilet door was kicked open by Koala.Satoru had just heard about her in Jinbe's story about Tiger. She was the one who was escorted home by Tiger and his companions, but her hometown people betrayed Tiger and his group, secretly notifying the Marine, which led to Tiger and his companions being attacked by the Marine, and Tiger dying as a result.Koala had grown up now, a year older than Sabo, twenty-three years old.From Koala's perspective, Sa Bai Yun had his back to her, so she thought Sabo was hugging a long-haired... girl... in his office toilet... Both sides were silent for a second, then Koala's loud scream erupted."Sabo!!!"The sound echoed through the heavens.Dragon and Ivankov instantly flashed over.Dragon was very fast, descending in an unknown manner, while Ivankov spun around like a drill, breaking through the roof to come down.Sabo's office was directly below Dragon's office, which was also the conference room."What's wrong?""Hee-haw!!! What happened?"Dragon and Ivankov also arrived at the toilet door and looked inside.They both recognized Satoru after seeing his back.But Ivankov still pretended to be surprised, covering his mouth."Oh my!! Sabo-boy, I didn't expect you to be this kind of person!!"Then he feigned a wronged expression."Have you forgotten our romantic nights under the flowers and moon all those years ago?!"Hearing this, Sa Bai Yun couldn't help but interject, "Under the flowers and moon, huh~"Ivankov often said this, and everyone in the Revolutionary Army knew it was a joke, but Satoruwasn't part of the Revolutionary Army, so Sabo was afraid he might misunderstand."No, Sister Ivankov is just joking.""Hahaha, I know. Sister Ivankov's words are mostly to lighten the mood."Sa Bai Yun finally found a good moment to release Sabo and turn around to speak."Uncle Dragon, Sister Ivankov, long time no see."Dragon was happy that Satoru came, but he didn't show his emotions."Indeed, long time no see. I just received news of your resurrection on Sabaody Archipelago, and here you are.""Hee-haw!!! I've missed you so much, Satoru-boy!! The sweethearts will be happy to see you."...Sabaody Archipelago - Grove 13 - Shakky's Rip-off Bar.Shakky paused her wiping of glasses, and Rayleighalso paused his drinking, immediately releasing Haoshoku Haki to knock out all the drinking customers in the bar.The bullet that had been sitting on the corner of the bar quickly spun automatically, then jumped into the air and transformed into Clone Bai Yun.The Satoru who was preparing to infiltrate the Marine, let's call him Military Bai Yun.Military Bai Yun opened his eyes and saw the unconscious, foaming-at-the-mouth customers on the bar floor."Looks like I came at the wrong time."Shakky smiled in response, "Whenever you come, my bar always has customers."When Rayleigh drank at Shakky's bar, he usually wore a hood to avoid being recognized and causing unnecessary trouble. Old people disliked too much trouble."How was your adventure on Fish-Man Island?""Are you back for something you left behind? Or are you preparing to implement your plan?""How could I leave anything behind? The only thing I might have left behind is this innocent heart that idolizes you, Uncle Rayleigh."Rayleigh and Shakky responded to Military Bai Yun's performance with indifference. Well, Rayleighstill had a smile on his lips, thinking, 'Young people are so energetic.'"So you're preparing to implement your plan?""Infiltrating the Marine as a pirate, I can't believe a pirate would do that.""However, you even managed to come back from the dead, so infiltrating the Marine isn't impossible.""It sounds simple, but it's hard to do, Uncle Rayleigh.""First, I need to change my appearance.""Sister Shakky, please... cut my hair short!!"
Chapter 811: The Promised Ship, noahFish-Man Island - Gyoncorde Plaza!Xiao Bai wondered how he should wake Satoru up.Slap him?Forget it. He knew Satoru's temper; if he slapped him once, Satoru would slap him back ten times.Finally, Xiao Bai extended a finger and poked Satoru."Little Xiao Bai, wake up.""The noah's Ark is moving."Satoru opened his eyes... While Satoru had his eyes closed, using his consciousness to awaken the clones at the Revolutionary Army stronghold and the Shakky's Rip-off Bar on the Sabaody Archipelago, the battle at Fish-Man Island Plaza continued.Franky activated General Franky.Luffy, Usopp, and Chopper had complete stars in their eyes.Robin wore a look of indifference.Van der Decken IX's target was always Shirahoshi, but the attacks he threw were casually deflected by Xiao Bai with a wave of his hand.Vander Decken I was wary of Satoru, whose strength was comparable to his own, and dared not move personally."Ancestor, what should we do? Those two guys are guarding her, there's no way to get close!""Those damned bastards are the biggest obstacle separating me and Shirahoshi!""That person's strength is equal to mine; if I act, it will be a drawn-out battle... (Drawn-out battle: refers to being so terrified by a fingernail-sized amount of Vitality Energy that he scrambles away.)""I've got it!""We'll strike during the chaos!""Boy, you go back to Fish-Man Street and throw the gigantic noah's Ark over here!""When that happens, those two definitely won't be able to sit still and will be forced to act. Once they leave the Mermaid Princess's side, that will be our time to strike!""Ancestor is brilliant!""I'll go now!""Wait, swimming there will take too long!"Vander Decken I condensed a giant hand and threw his descendant, Van der Decken IX, like a javelin.Xiao Bai noticed this and now understood why Satoru said the noah would be deployed."That guy's ability means he only needs to move the noah by a millimeter to throw it over.""Did you anticipate this, Little Xiao Bai?""It's prophetic foresight.""Or perhaps knowing the future...""You truly are mysterious, Little Xiao Bai.""You always make people want to know everything about you..."..."What's going on!""That's The Promised Ship, noah!!!"All the residents of Fish-Man Island knew the story of the noah, and its deployment at this moment caused the battle to halt.The residents of Fish-Man Island, who had been hiding at the edge of the plaza (Gyoncorde Plaza is a basin, with the battlefield at the bottom), couldn't help but cry out in alarm."Your Majesty!""Why are you so terrified!"The Left Minister and the Right Minister supported Neptune, who was trembling. Neptune stared wide-eyed at the dark silhouette of the noah in the sky."That ship must absolutely not be damaged!""Before The Day That Is Sure To Come arrives, that ship absolutely cannot be launched!"Compared to his expression of surprise.Satoru, who had woken up, was much calmer and more composed."Oh.""It was expected.""I guess this time, Van der Decken IX threw this ship to distract us."Xiao Bai let out a sound of understanding."Oh, do I need to intervene?""Not yet. Let's wait and see. This is a good opportunity for Shirahoshi to fully awaken her Poseidon Power.""Awakening Poseidon Power... I see. Alright, then let's continue watching the show.""Are you going back to sleep?""There's no need. I can know everything at any moment."Satoru spoke somewhat vaguely. He meant that if he wanted to know what his clones were experiencing, he just needed to establish a psychic link, and his Main Body would instantly know what they went through, so there was no need to constantly maintain a link to watch the clones' actions.Xiao Bai didn't know if he understood, but he didn't ask further."Understood."..."Huh?""What's going on? The plaza turned dark?!"Everyone was surprised, and the instinctive reaction after it turned dark was to look up.They didn't know until they looked, and when they did, they were startled."A-a-a-ah!!!!""Is that the noah from Fish-Man Street?!""How did it get here?""It's clearly heading straight to crash into this plaza!""It's about to break through the island's Sabaody Bubble!""Once the Sabaody Bubble bursts, even before the noah crashes, the water pressure will crush the residential area!"The residents at the edge of the plaza frantically described the crisis.Everyone in the Straw Hat Pirates was also surprised; they didn't even know what the noahwas.Nami: "What is that?!"Brook: "What the heck is that!"Chopper: "It's huge!"Usopp held his head with both hands, "Although I don't know what's happening, the situation is terrible!"Robin, with her usual calm tone, said the most terrifying words."If all of us get crushed, the ocean will turn into a sea of blood."Luffy, Zoro, and Sanji remained silent, already thinking of ways to lift the ship.They all simultaneously thought of one person.Who else could it be?Naturally, it was Satoru.Satoru felt their gazes and nodded, indicating they shouldn't worry."Looking at it like this, it's still scary. It feels like a meteor falling from the sky."Xiao Bai smiled, thinking, "Little Xiao Bai, you are the best at acting.""It is quite terrifying."Satoru: "Then why aren't you acting?""Hmm...""Huh?!""Is it time for me to act?"Xiao Bai asked.Satoru nodded, "Go stabilize the ship first, don't let it keep pushing down. If the bubble really bursts later, that would be quite funny.""Remember to look slightly strained, as if you can only stabilize it."Xiao Bai nodded, then smiled and asked."Little Xiao Bai, are you that confident I can lift the ship?""Yes, yes, I trust you the most, now hurry up and go!""Got it!"Xiao Bai bent his knees and jumped up.At the same time, Satoru flew up, heading toward Shirahoshi's ear... Wadatsumi was thrown onto the plaza from the ship by Vander Decken I, mainly just to cause more trouble.Hody Jones's subordinates also asked Hody Jones, who had been sent flying by Luffy, if this was part of the battle plan."Shut up! You bunch of useless idiots!"Hody Jones climbed back up.Luffy marveled at his durability, but Luffy didn't know that Hody Jones had simply taken too many drugs, dulling his sense of pain."That bastard Decken did it! It's not part of my battle plan at all!"Hody Jones shouted.Sure enough, the next second, Van der Decken IX's voice rang out; he was broadcasting via a den den mushi."Pah-ho-ho-ho!!""That's right, this is my masterpiece!""Anything thrown using my ability won't stop unless it hits something!"However, the moment his voice fell silent.A figure broke through the two bubble layers of Fish-Man Island and reached the open sea, followed by a dragon shadow appearing next to the noah.
Chapter 812: She Won't Be Alone!The battle on Fish-Man Island had escalated to the point where the noah Ark was deployed.This was within Satoru's expectations.The appearance of the gigantic noah Ark surprised everyone on the battlefield and temporarily halted the war, as people looked up at the Ark.This was Vander Decken I's plan to make the battle even more chaotic, so he could seize the opportunity to attack Shirahoshi.Just as Van der Decken IX was gloating, a dragon shadow appeared beside the noah Ark... As everyone was surprised by the noah Ark's descent, a dragon's roar echoed throughout Fish-Man Island, and a white dragon appeared next to the noah Ark. Although its size was not as large as the noah Ark, it was still very conspicuous.The white dragon swam onto the noah Ark, grabbing the chains that bound it, stopping the noahArk's descent. However, seeing the white dragon's continuous struggle, it could only hold the noah, but not pull it up.Satoru couldn't help but sigh, "When it comes to acting, you, Little White, are not bad either.""What!! What kind of creature is this!!""Sea monster?! How can there be such a big sea monster!!"Van der Decken IX was extremely surprised to see Little White reveal its true form.Vander Decken I, on the other hand, nodded. He had long expected Little White to be extraordinary, and it was a good thing he hadn't acted rashly!Now that it was holding back the noah, it was also a good thing for them!"Vander Decken, was the noah thrown over by him as a projectile? Princess!"Jinbe guessed how the noah had moved and immediately turned to look in Shirahoshi's direction, but he didn't see Shirahoshi. He only saw Satoruwaving and smiling.Jinbe's eyes immediately popped out, and snot flew out in fright!!!"Where's the Princess?!"Jinbe immediately shouted, asking.Satoru pointed to the sky, and Jinbe looked up, only to see Shirahoshi's figure appearing above the Fish-Man Island's Sabaody Bubble, in front of the noah."noah!! I'm here!!""Princess!!"Jinbe, along with the three princes and the Fishmanresidents, all cried out in concern for Shirahoshi.However, Neptune, the old father, did not speak. He just tightly clenched his hands to express his incompetence and dereliction of duty as a father... A moment ago."Princess Shirahoshi.""Mr. Satoru, do you have any solution? Please help Fish-Man Island!!"As soon as Satoru spoke to Shirahoshi, she almost burst into tears again.Satoru comforted her:"Crying now is the most useless thing to do.""I can't solve the noah Ark problem.""But... you can."Shirahoshi obediently tried to stop her tears, and asked in a disbelieving tone."Me?"Satoru nodded, "Yes, the noah was thrown by Vander Decken, and the noah's target...""Is me!""Just like those letters and weapons!"Shirahoshi realized.Satoru nodded again. Shirahoshi was merely naive, not foolish.Shirahoshi looked up at the noah, watching Little White'struggling' to hold the noah, and said with determined eyes:"I understand!!""No! Shirahoshi, it's too dangerous!! How can you face Vander Decken alone!!"Neptune spoke, a normal worried father.Shirahoshi ignored Neptune's words, "I'm sorry, Father, but I must go!!"Shirahoshi directly swam upwards with her bubble circle."Shirahoshi!!""Princess!!"Neptune and the two ministers shouted in concern.Satoru shushed them, "This is the courage a... princess should have.""And, don't worry, she's not fighting alone."Just as Satoru finished speaking, Jinbe happened to look over... "Shirahoshi, why are you there!""Mermaid Princess~~"Nami and Brook expressed their concern.Jinbe stated the crucial point, "The key is that the ship is flying towards the Princess!! Oh no! The Princess is acting alone!!""No! She won't be alone!"A figure flashed past, leaving behind these words, which Nami and Brook recognized."It's Satoru's voice!!"They turned their heads and in the blink of an eye, Satoru was already beside Luffy."Satoru!""Hmm, this is a coral for storing Sabaody bubbles. Once our upper bodies are out of Fish-Man Island's Sabaody bubble, immediately press out a bubble!""Okay!""Then hold onto me, and we'll go help Shirahoshi.""Okay!!"Without further ado, Luffy grabbed Satoru, and Satoru instantly shot into the sky... Above Fish-Man Island, outside the Sabaody bubble."Mr. Decken!!""Isn't your target my life?!""Please don't involve all the residents of the RyuguKingdom just to take my life!!""Come at me if you want to!!"Shirahoshi was ready to sacrifice herself for justice.Van der Decken IX pointed at her, "Ohh!! What a beautiful figure!!""My beloved Princess Shirahoshi, are you ready...""Stop your damn nonsense!!"Van der Decken IX was halfway through his sentence when his ancestor couldn't hold back anymore. With so much nonsense, he instantly condensed a huge energy arm and grabbed at Shirahoshi.The people on the island gasped in alarm."What is that?!""A giant hand stretched out from the ship!!""Is that a ghost?! Is it a ghost from the Flying Dutchman?!"As the big hand grabbed, Shirahoshi closed her eyes."Get lost!!"In the nick of time, Luffy and Satoru arrived. Luffythrew a punch, and his huge Armament Haki fist directly smashed Vander Decken I's energy fist.Whether it was Elementalization or Energyfication, Armament Haki was its bane.Of course, for a deep ability like Vander Decken I's, the greatest bane was Satoru's Vitality Energy."It's Straw Hat and... Long-Haired Young Man!!"Generally speaking, the residents played the role of... a straight man in a comedy duo."Scaredy-Shirahoshi!""Are you okay!!""Mr. Luffy, Mr. Satoru..."Shirahoshi's eyes were misty with tears again."Don't cry!!"Luffy immediately shouted, with no sense of pity for women.Shirahoshi stopped crying, but complained."Mr. Luffy is so fierce...""Don't worry about that, Shirahoshi, quickly swim out of Fish-Man Island and let noah follow you. Luffy, you protect her, and I'll handle this Vander Decken."Satoru immediately arranged their actions for Luffyand Shirahoshi.Compared to his attitude towards Shirahoshi, Luffy's attitude towards Satoru was much better."Okay, I'll listen to you, Satoru.""Let's go quickly! Scaredy-Shirahoshi!!""Eh!! Wait for me, Mr. Luffy!!"As Shirahoshi swam, the noah gradually followed her, moving very slowly due to its enormous size."Great!! The noah is leaving Fish-Man Island!!""Is the Princess planning to lure the noah away?!""Go, Princess!!"Cheers for Shirahoshi came from the Fishmen and humans on the island, and even Hody Jones's subordinates secretly did so, as they didn't want to die either.However, the Flying Dutchman did not give chase, and the biggest obstacle stood in its way.Vander Decken I felt a chill when he saw Satoru, someone of 'equal strength'!
Chapter 813: Your Business Scope Is Quite BroadVander Decken I's target, from beginning to end, was Shirahoshi. He intended to capture Shirahoshiand exchange her with Davy Jones for the power of true immortality.He couldn't reach Ryugu Palace, nor did he know what kind of energy was blocking him there.But with his strength! All he needed was to wait for an opportunity for Shirahoshi to come out.However, he couldn't have predicted that someone like Satoru would appear!!A person who could shatter his entire energy body by wielding just a fingernail's worth of energy!!Is this even damn reasonable?!!!!..."Where are we going, Cowardly Shirahoshi?"On Luffy and Shirahoshi's side, Luffy posed the question.Shirahoshi gave a genuine "Huh?""I think we just need to keep going straight, letting noah leave the airspace above Fish-Man Island.""I see, that makes it simple."Luffy replied.But just as he finished speaking, a figure ascended from below and blocked their path, a playful smile on his lips and light seemingly radiating from his eyes.Who else could it be?Naturally, it was Hody Jones, who had already gone mad.Using the momentum from the large hammer held by Tos, who was standing on his hand, he quickly flew into the sky, breaking through the Bubble Coating and blocking Luffy and Shirahoshi.The battle below also stopped and resumed instantly.At this moment, all the named individuals had found their respective matchups.Zoro vs. Eight-Sword Style Zang BaoUsopp vs. DarumaChopper vs. TosFranky vs. Giant Squid Fishman Ikaros MuchBrook vs. ZeoNami was responsible for clearing out the small fry.At Jinbe's request, Robin began freeing the handcuffs from the human slaves. Of course, any Fishman who tried to attack her would be stomped by her "Jade Feet."And also.Satoru vs. Flying PiratesLuffy and Shirahoshi vs. Hody Jones and noahThese were the matchups after the situation was settled.At this moment, the moment of decisive battle had arrived... "Who exactly are you?!"Vander Decken I condensed a human-sized form and appeared on the Flying Dutchman, asking Satoru, the fellow who constantly opposed him."I am your father."Satoru spoke sincerely; this shouldn't count as vulgarity, right?"You!!"Vander Decken I was so angry his teeth ground together. He was at least several hundred years old; claiming to be his father? What arrogance!!!"Don't think you've already secured the victory!!""In order to capture Shirahoshi, I have already asked the God of Death for help!!"Vander Decken I said with great confidence.He clapped his hands together, and Nether Energy erupted between his palms. Then, as he slowly pulled them apart, a book appeared suspended between his hands. It grew larger as his hands separated, but eventually settled at the size of a normal book.Vander Decken I maintained the posture of his hands facing each other, with the book in the middle."Prepare to die!!""Welcome the terrifying person from true Hell!!""He will make you feel like you are in Hell!!!""Hahahaha!!!""Almighty God of Death Davy Jones, Yama of the Deep Sea, Ruler of the Underworld!! Your most devout follower requests that you open the gateway to Hell!!"Following Vander Decken I's flattery toward Davy Jones, the book automatically opened, and a vortex condensed from Nether Energy emerged from it.The chill of the Underworld emanated from it, causing Brook below to tremble."Such a familiar feeling!""The cool breeze from Hell...""Yohohoho, Brother Satoru is someone who returned from Hell, no need to worry about him!!"...Returning to the top of Fish-Man Island.Under Vander Decken I's manipulations, an even denser Nether Energy erupted from the vortex, and then, in front of Vander Decken I, this energy gradually condensed into a humanoid figure.His appearance made the Flying Dutchman feel like an ice cellar. The crew, who usually didn't feel cold even in the deep sea, were now shivering."My Lord!!"Vander Decken I was extremely respectful toward the person before him.The person wore a black suit, stood poker straight, and maintained a cold demeanor."Mhm.""Where is the person?"Very concise, meaning: where is the person who needs dealing with?"Right behind you."Vander Decken I immediately replied.This person slowly turned around, acting as if it were all a minor matter.But when he saw Satoru, he instantly lost his composure, frightened as if he had seen a ghost—even though he himself was the ghost."You!!!!!""So it's you, huh? Long time no see, Old Ghost."The newcomer was none other than Davy Jones' steward, Satoru's old friend from the Underworld Hell: Old Ghost.Satoru: I forgot his name, so let's just call him Old Ghost!...Satoru hadn't expected the helper Vander Decken I summoned to be Davy Jones' Steward Old Ghost."Your business scope is quite broad."Satoru said with a kindly smile.Old Ghost couldn't remain calm at all!!He roared internally:I finally get to go out on an errand, and it has to be this Killing God!!!This is someone who fought the Boss to a standstill, and the Boss couldn't even keep him when chasing him personally!!What virtue and ability do I possess!!"H-how... how is it you?""So... you're stopping this fellow from capturing... the Mermaid Princess..."Old Ghost tried to ask calmly, but he was still a little stammering.His attitude reversed completely.Vander Decken I watched the scene, snot dripping, looking utterly idiotic."My Lord!!""What are you doing!! Hurry up and deal with him!!"Hearing this, Old Ghost immediately slapped Vander Decken I."Shut your dog mouth!!!"Vander Decken I was stunned by the hit. Who the hell are you helping!!!It was then that Satoru slowly replied, "Yes, the Mermaid Princess is my friend."Old Ghost tentatively asked."Can't we negotiate?"Satoru's smile deepened, and his eyes narrowed.Don't provoke the Slit-Eyed Person!"Of course...""Not possible."While answering, Satoru raised his right hand, enveloped in dense Vitality Energy, although this was actually all the Vitality Energy Satoru had left.Old Ghost, being an inanimate entity, felt extreme danger from Satoru's right hand; murderous intent radiated from it like needles piercing him.He couldn't take it anymore!!Let whoever wants to deal with it, deal with it!!I quit!!!Transforming back into energy, the old man plunged headfirst back into the Nether Energy vortex on the book.He ran away.Silence.The scene was utterly quiet.Vander Decken I was completely dumbfounded.Satoru stepped onto the Flying Dutchman, reached out, and took the book. It was effortless; he acquired it very easily.The book was sentient and knew that if it resisted, Satoru's Vitality Energy could destroy it completely.
Chapter 814: VesselVander Decken I expended a large amount of Nether Energy, using a book as a medium to connect to the Underworld, requesting Davy Jones to open a passage.He invited a helper from hell, who was Davy Jones's butler, an "old friend" of Satoru. Knowing Satoru's strength, he scurried back to the Underworld like a mouse seeing a cat before the fight even began.It was like a lower-grade student asking an older, higher-grade student to back them up, only for the older student to find out the opponent was the dean of discipline.Older Student: What the f***!!!!Vander Decken I was dumbfounded. What kind of development was this?!Is this reasonable?!!Is this f***ing reasonable!!!!..."This book is an ordinary book, just infused with Nether Energy.""Or, was this given to you by Davy Jones?"Satoru, aboard the Flying Dutchman, held Vander Decken I's book and asked very naturally, as if he were the owner.Vander Decken I was still in the midst of a collapsing worldview, foolishly unresponsive.Satoru raised his hand, about to slap him, when Vander Decken I immediately knelt.Behind him, Van der Decken IX saw his ancestor kneel and immediately followed suit."Big Brother!!""It's my fault for not knowing how capable you are!!""You said you went to hell and came back! I thought you were just talking, but it turns out it's true!!""I was wrong!!""Please just let me go!!"Vander Decken I cried so hard that his face was covered in tears, and he spoke with such sincerity.Satoru patted his head, like a warm big brother."Don't be afraid.""I won't hit you."Vander Decken I instantly breathed a sigh of relief.But as Satoru's tone shifted, his heart almost jumped out of his chest."I'll kill you, so you'll never have a chance to lay a hand on Princess Shirahoshi.""Come, close your eyes, dizziness is normal, it will pass quickly."To kill a Netherworld creature, Vitality Energy is best. The Vitality Energy wrapped around Satoru's hand pressed Vander Decken I so hard he didn't dare move. There was nothing he could do; he was completely suppressed."No! Don't!!""Please!!!"All Vander Decken I could do at this moment was beg for mercy.But Satoru wouldn't listen. After dying once, he knew that showing mercy to an assailant was being cruel to himself. If Vander Decken I hadn't been suppressed by his Vitality Energy, he wouldn't have been easy to deal with either.If he left him alive, he would be a disaster for Aceand Fish-Man Island!!"You've lived long enough, it's time you died.""The human world is for the living! As a soul, get back to the Underworld!!"Brook:???Satoru: You're neither dead nor alive, you're half-dead and half-alive.As Satoru finished speaking, the Vitality Energy on his hand was about to press down, when suddenly, a vortex in his other hand erupted with Davy Jones's voice from the book."Stop!!!"As Davy Jones's voice burst forth, Vander Decken Iimmediately kowtowed to the ground. This was absolute loyalty to Davy Jones; even if Satoru was in front of him now, since Satoru was holding the book, he still had to kneel!!Satoru stopped, not because he was obedient, but because he had intended to draw out Davy Jones. If Davy Jones hadn't spoken, he would have killed him. Since he spoke, Satoru had something to ask him."No need to get so angry.""Long time no see, Lord Death God."Satoru's tone was still the same.Davy Jones utterly detested that tone, or rather, he simply detested Satoru, that bastard!!!"See you f***ing!!""I f***ing you!!""What exactly do you want to do?!!""Satoru!!! You've obstructed me time and again, do I have a grudge against you?!!""You've already been resurrected, what else do you want to do?!!"Davy Jones's temper was still as volatile as ever.But then again, anyone who was tricked by Satoruwould inevitably be furious."Mermaid Princess is my friend.""Your lackey wants to send her to hell, that 'good' place, and of course, I disagree."Satoru explained the reason; there was nothing to hide."Friend?!""Good, good, good!!""You are indeed not simple!!"Davy Jones came to this conclusion.Satoru was puzzled, "Oh? How so?"Davy Jones spat."Stop playing dumb with me!!""Then I ask you, Lord Death God, why do you want to capture the Mermaid Princess?""Her ability would be useless in hell, wouldn't it?"Satoru still asked directly."Are you worthy of me telling you?!!"Davy Jones's reply was very arrogant.But Satoru still had a smile on his face."If you don't tell me, I'll beat this lackey of yours right in front of me... into oblivion."Vander Decken I's body couldn't help but tremble!Oh my god!!He was now both extremely scared and extremely curious about Satoru. He could scare away a visitor from hell and talk to Davy Jones like this!!Big Brother, who exactly are you?!!"You!!"Davy Jones was so angry he couldn't speak.Satoru could clearly hear some shattering sounds from the vortex. Poor furniture.Then, Nether Energy erupted from above the vortex, sending Vander Decken I flying out. After that, the energy transformed into a semicircle, enveloping Satoru.Before Satoru could speak, Davy Jones explained first."This is soundproof, to prevent eavesdropping.""With your power, you can break it easily."Hearing this, Satoru praised."Lord Death God is very cautious, very good."Davy Jones cursed inwardly, 'Who needs your praise!!'"Lord Death God's actions, can they be interpreted as you being ready to tell me why you want to capture the Mermaid Princess?"Satoru pressed on.Davy Jones said dismissively."Don't play dumb with me.""As the vessel of the Moon God Selene, would you not know that the Sea God would choose the Mermaid Princess as a vessel?"Vessel... Satoru repeated the word in his mind."So, Sea God and Sea King mean the same thing.""Both refer to Poseidon?""No, God is God.""King is King.""God refers to the deity itself.""King refers to the vessel.""The Mermaid Princess is merely the Sea God's vessel, so she is called the Sea King.""Just as the god of the sky's vessel is the Heavenly King.""The Death God's vessel is the King of the Underworld.""The sun god's vessel is the Sun King.""And you, as the vessel of the Moon God Selene, are..."Satoru quickly answered, "Moon King?"Davy Jones's tone was provocative, "What else?""Pluton...""You said Pluton is the Death God's vessel?""But I remember, isn't Pluton a battleship?"Satoru asked his doubts."Hehe, that battleship in the human world is not Pluton's vessel.""Rather, I participated in its creation!""The name Pluton, I gave it!"Davy Jones proudly revealed this past secret.
Chapter 815: Arrangement of FateFrom Davy Jones, Satoru learned the meaning of 'God is God' and 'King is King.'A King is the title given to the vessel of a God.For example, the Sea King is the title for the Mermaid Princess who carries the power of the Sea God.Although Satoru's Devil Fruit Ability is the Moon God Selene, Satoru is naturally not the true Moon God.According to Davy Jones, Satoru is the "Moon King."If that is the case, is the Pluton Battleship the vessel of the God of Death?Then what is Davy Jones, the God of Death?Regarding Satoru's confusion, Davy Jones proudly stated that he also participated in manufacturing Pluton, and he gave it its name!!..."You manufactured it?!"Satoru was still surprised by this news; Davy Jonesactually had a hand in one of the Three Ancient Weapons."Otherwise, did you think that the technology available to humans back then could create a cannonball capable of destroying an island with a single shot?""That cannonball is not just a cannonball; it holds other power! Power from the Underworld!!"Davy Jones explained."Why?"Satoru still spoke those three words, meaning why Davy Jones would manufacture the PlutonBattleship.Moreover, this also meant that Davy Jones knew the history of the Void Century 800 years ago!!Davy Jones laughed, laughing happily, mocking Satoru for still having things he didn't know and being too naive."Hohahaha!!""No need to rush right now!!""You will know sooner or later!!"Satoru fell silent. Since Davy Jones wasn't telling, Satoru currently had no leverage to force him to speak."Let me just tell you this.""I want to gather the Power of the Five Gods again!!"Davy Jones said suddenly."Power of the Five Gods?!"Satoru repeated the phrase; the term immediately sounded ominous."That's right!!""As for why, I said you will know sooner or later.""As the vessel of the Moon God Selene!""You are already in the game!!!""Hohahaha!!"Satoru felt a bit annoyed. The feeling that the other party knew everything while he knew nothing was incredibly frustrating."I can promise you not to attack the Mermaid Princess.""The arrangement of fate.""The Five Gods will eventually gather again.""Spare this guy's life; I need him to help me collect sunken treasures!""In exchange, as a condition, you can ask me one question.""And only one!"Davy Jones stated the condition for Satoru to spare Vander Decken I, and now he waited for Satoru's reply.Satoru pondered for a long time.He was deliberating between asking about the history of the Void Century or asking about the "vessel."But after thinking about it, they were adventuring all the way to the Final Island, where the answer to the Void Century lay, so they would know eventually.If he asked and found out here, and then just told Luffy, Luffy would be unhappy because it would strip the adventure of one of its joys.Also, Robin likely wouldn't accept history learned from someone's mouth without deciphering a poneglyph. Although she trusted Satoru and knew he wouldn't lie—meaning the history was real—the feeling of having to believe something she didn't want to believe was also difficult.Therefore, Satoru chose to ask about the "vessel."Because he wasn't the only vessel of the Moon God Selene.He also knew that Luffy was likewise the vessel of the Sun God Nika."I want to know everything about the concept of the vessel."Satoru asked."That sounds like the kind of question you would ask, Satoru."Davy Jones spoke as if he understood Satoru very well."The vessel.""As the name suggests, it is the carrier of a god.""A god's power is not easily obtained. When the power awakens to a certain degree, the god will wake up, and then..."Davy Jones paused deliberately, wanting to see Satoru anxious, but it didn't happen as he wished.After internally cursing him as boring, Davy Jonescontinued."It's not exactly replacing you, but at that time, you will be the Moon God's True Self. You will receive Its memories, your actions will be influenced by It, and your personality will change."This is definitely replacement!!Satoru complained internally: personality change, influenced actions, imposed memories! What the hell is this if not replacement?! Even if he knew he was himself, under subtle influence, he would eventually lose his self and become a complete god!"Is there a way to avoid it?"Davy Jones laughed again at Satoru's question."Hohahaha!!""Avoid it? Avoiding it is challenging a god!!""You use Its power to challenge It?!""Not completely assimilating you is already merciful enough!!""Gods are invincible!!!"Davy Jones "spouted nonsense."Satoru said calmly, "Are you sure?"Satoru clearly remembered the incident where a certain god had their soul dragged by a soul contract and almost ceased to exist.Davy Jones's laughter stopped abruptly. He knew Satoru was referring to him."In short!!""When the Five Gods gather again, we will meet!!""Satoru!""I look forward to that day!!""Oh right, that white dragon is still following you, isn't he?""Here is an extra piece of information for you.""He is not simple either. He is the Heavenly King, but he is not the vessel of the Sky God Uranus!""He is very special!""As for where he's special? Go ask him yourself! Hohahaha!!""Remember!! Don't forget your promise!!"As his voice fell, Davy Jones's voice completely vanished, and the hemispherical barrier formed by Underworld Energy and the vortex on the book disappeared too.Davy Jones was gone.Satoru looked at the book in his hand and closed it forcefully.He tapped his brow with his other hand. He had received a lot of information, but it was difficult to digest.In front of him were Vander Decken I and the others, kneeling.Even though he promised Davy Jones not to kill him... then... Satoru flashed forward and stomped his foot down on Vander Decken I. Vitality Energyslowly poured into Vander Decken I's body from his foot."Ah!!!!"Vander Decken I let out a booming wail.But Satoru truly did not kill him; instead, he used Vitality Energy to destroy most of the Underworld Energy inside him, leaving only a tiny bit.Vander Decken I's body eventually shrank to the size of a Ship Spirit and could no longer return to normal human size because there wasn't enough Underworld Energy left inside him.In other words, Satoru didn't kill him, but he crippled him. Davy Jones only asked him not to kill him, not that he couldn't cripple him."Didn't you like hiding inside ships?""Then become a Ship Spirit!""I promised Davy Jones not to kill you. This is just a lesson. Do not approach Fish-Man Island again in the future, or I will definitely kill you!!"Satoru's tone brooked no refusal.Vander Decken I, beneath his foot, dared not refuse."I understand! I understand!!!""I will definitely comply!!"
Chapter 816: Innate Evil Seed"I will certainly comply!!"Vander Decken I's tone was humble and sincere.He didn't know what Satoru and Davy Jonesdiscussed, but he was still very happy to hear Satoru say, "I promised Davy Jones not to kill you."Furthermore, he only heard that sentence. Whatever else Satoru said, he would agree to it.Since his attitude was acceptable, Satoru lifted his foot.Even though hundreds of years of effort were destroyed by Satoru, Vander Decken I still had to thank him."Thank you for sparing my life!!"Those with backbone are feared to cause future trouble.Even those without backbone are feared to cause future trouble; they may seem sincere on the surface, but who knows what they are doing behind the scenes.But now that his strength had been destroyed, Satoru didn't need to worry about this rabble.Oh, there's one more thing.Satoru's gaze turned sharply towards Van der Decken IX.Van der Decken IX was startled, "I didn't do anything!! I didn't even speak!!"Hearing him say this, Satoru temporarily shifted his gaze towards Shirahoshi and the others. At this moment, the noah had reached the exact center above Fish-Man Island.Considering that Xiao Bai was present and Shirahoshi's ability had not yet awakened, Satorudecided to give it a try.If, as Davy Jones said, the Five Gods would eventually gather again, then he didn't need to worry about this or that.However, to put it bluntly, Satoru was only responsible for Luffy. Before the issue of the 'Vessel' could be resolved, he would temporarily not interfere with Luffy's awakening, as that was still far off.As for Shirahoshi... regarding awakening, she had already summoned Sea Kings when she was a child. That was not like a Devil Fruit; it was her innate ability. There was no such thing as awakening or not awakening, only proficiency.Since the prophecy states that there will be someone who guides Shirahoshi to properly use this power, Satoru can only bet that this person is Luffy!After all, Shirahoshi's power is an indispensable absolute aid in fighting the World Governmentand... Davy Jones... He made up his mind.Satoru shifted his gaze, and Van der Decken IXsighed in relief, but he hadn't finished sighing yet.Satoru flashed into the air in front of him, grabbed his neck, lifted him up, and threw him out of the ship. The ship was coated with bubble film because Van der Decken IX had eaten a Devil Fruit and couldn't swim, so it was coated.As Van der Decken IX was thrown out of the bubble by Satoru and submerged in seawater, he immediately lost all strength and began drowning.His ability also disappeared, and Shirahoshi's decade-long career as a target came to an end.With the ability gone, Shirahoshi also lost her traction on the noah, which was now dropping straight down."If you don't want your Captain to die, go retrieve him."Satoru said, and Van der Decken IX's subordinates immediately swam out to rescue him upon receiving permission.Satoru, meanwhile, looked in the direction of the noah, watching the performance of Luffy and Shirahoshi... Xiao Bai was originally floating along with the noah, but when Shirahoshi's target characteristic disappeared, the noah instantly dropped, nearly ripping out Xiao Bai's teeth.In front of him were Luffy and Shirahoshi, as well as the Great Prince Ryuboshi who had come to help Luffy, and Hody Jones, who had been pounded by Luffy a few times, then revived with medicine, becoming incredibly ugly, as if he had reverted to an ancestral form."If there was a durability contest, you would definitely be first."Luffy complained.He was being modest; in terms of durability, he also held a place, perhaps even the highest position.Not to praise Luffy, but if it weren't for the Fierce Medicine, in the original timeline, Hody Jones, this Fish-Man Island boss, would have been half-crippled by Zoro's single slice underwater."This large ship is starting to drop again!!"Luffy was on Ryuboshi's back, facing Hody Jones, who had just recovered, and the noah was right behind Hody Jones.The moment Shirahoshi lost her traction on the noah, Luffy immediately noticed its descent.At this point, the noah had only moved from the far right above Fish-Man Island to the far left—it was almost there. But dropping now would still lead to the same result."What!!"Upon hearing this, Shirahoshi and Ryuboshiimmediately focused their attention on the noah. Sure enough, the noah was no longer following Shirahoshi but was slowly dropping. This was only due to Xiao Bai's "effort," otherwise, it would fall faster."Why is this happening?""Isn't the noah following me?!"Shirahoshi was confused and very panicked.Hody Jones noticed their gaze was focused behind him. He turned around and saw that the deck of the Ark noah, where Luffy had punched him and he had crashed, had already dropped by one body length. This proved the noah was descending, which made him extremely happy."Hohahahaha!!!""That's right!! Let it drop like this!! Crush those meek, cowardly Fishmen!! A new Fish-Man Race will replace them!!"As mentioned before, Hody Jones was already insane."You must be surprised why this is happening, right?""That stupid long-haired human probably knocked out that Vander Decken guy! Or threw him into the sea!! That's why Vander Decken's ability disappeared!! The noah won't follow Shirahoshianymore; it's falling!!""Hohahahaha!!""Stupid human!! You ultimately brought disaster upon yourselves!!!"Hearing this, Satoru almost couldn't resist striking Hody Jones, but he was afraid of killing him outright."That damned Sea Beast is supporting it, isn't it?""Obeying a human, you deserve to die too!!"Hody Jones said this while looking up at Xiao Bai above the noah.He didn't recognize a Dragon and mistook it for a Sea Beast.With his intelligence, he still dreams of attacking Mary Geoise."Kaidai!"Hody Jones swung a punch upwards, compressing the moisture in the environment and unleashing a shockwave!It accurately hit Xiao Bai, who couldn't help but tremble slightly.A smile curved Hody Jones's lips.But the truth was... Xiao Bai felt that this attack hitting his abdomen was like being tickled. Since he was ticklish, he couldn't help but laugh.Hody Jones was preparing to continue attacking Xiao Bai; as long as Xiao Bai died, the noah would fall completely.Unfortunately, given his strength, even if Xiao Bai stood there and let him hit him for three days and three nights, it would only serve to polish Xiao Bai's Dragon Scales."Hody Jones!! Why exactly are you doing this!!""Carrying the heart of vengeance against humans and the anger of the Fishmen, yet you turn your spearhead towards Fish-Man Island!!""Abandoning the homeland where you grew up!!""Why do you hate humans so much!! What exactly happened to you in the past!!"Ryuboshi couldn't understand how much hatred Hody Jones carried to become so fanatical.But Hody Jones stated calmly, "Nothing at all.""We were chosen by Heaven and granted strength to deliver divine punishment to humans!!"Previously, Satoru believed that the attitude of Fishman District towards humans caused Hody Jones to subconsciously hate them, but now Satoruno longer thought so. Hody Jones was a pure Evil Seed!! That kind of innate Evil Seed who believes they alone are right, and anyone who thinks differently deserves to die!!We should be thankful that Imu is not this kind of person, otherwise he (or she) would have started killing indiscriminately long ago.
Chapter 817: All New Fish-Man Pirates Executives DefeatedInside Fish-Man Island.The battle between the Straw Hat Pirates and the New Fish-Man Pirates was gradually coming to an end.Brook awakened the power to control souls, paired with the Soul-Shattering Sword forged for him by the Longarm Tribe.Nose-Humming Tune, Walking Fast Slash, the Aura of the Underworld."Song of the Laceration: Blizzard Slash!!"With a single slash, Zeo, an executive of the New Fish-Man Pirates, was cut in half vertically. The Underworld Cold Air emanated from the cut, freezing ice spikes. Zeo's body stiffened and he fell, defeated!...Usopp, during his two years of special training on the Boin Archipelago, fully integrated the island's unique plant, "POP GREEN," into his combat style.A three-shot trap.The first two shots—Hissatsu Midori Boshi: Doll GrassHissatsu Midori Boshi: Trampoliahad already launched Daruma into the air."You can't dodge in the air!!""Hissatsu Midori Boshi: Impact Wolf Grass!"Usopp fired a bulb-shaped POP GREEN at Daruma in the air, which transformed into a massive plant wolf mid-flight, the bulb serving as the wolf's nose.The Grass Wolf was huge, but the attack's power wasn't in the wolf's impact, but in the bulb on its nose!The moment the bulb touched Daruma, a powerful shockwave was unleashed within a three-meter radius centered on the point of impact.With a shockwave baptism at such close range, let alone Daruma, even his Captain Hody Jones might not be able to withstand it.Falling from the sky, head stuck in the ground like a spring onion, Daruma was defeated... After two years of special training, Chopper no longer needed to consume a rumble ball to change forms, and there was no time limit.The rumble ball hasn't been phased out; with his current strength, if Chopper consumes a rumble ball, he transforms into the Monster Point he first unlocked at Enies Lobby, but it is no longer an uncontrolled state—his consciousness remains.In his Monster Point, when facing the New Fish-Man Pirates' Dos, who was swinging an iron hammer, Chopper merely waved a hand, and Dos's hammer was smashed to pieces. If the iron was shattered, what chance did Dos have?Dos fell, eyes spinning—the standard look of defeat... The New Fish-Man Pirates' Ikaros Much, a Giant Squid Fishman, wields eight red cherry blossom spears called the "Spears of the Sthenoteuthis," and is an expert spearman. The spear tips, like Crocodile's right hand, can absorb moisture from others' bodies.His strongest technique is the spearhead growing on his head, revealed when he removes his racing helmet, which can also absorb moisture from others' bodies.However, his opponent was General Franky, a fusion of steel alloys. Even Franky himself has a steel upper body.He couldn't absorb any moisture at all.Moreover, his ultimate technique was just lowering his head and charging forward... This is why Satoruwasn't worried about the Fish-Man Island arc at all—what kind of opponents were these?As Ikaros Much charged, Franky emerged from General Franky's chest, sunglasses already on, hands clasped together.It wasn't the Coup de Vent.Instead, it was a new attack method developed in Vegapunk's hometown, modeled after the Pacifista's laser."Franky Radical Beam!!"A radical beam burst from the cannon muzzle between his hands, hitting Ikaros Much dead center. The resulting explosion formed a semi-circle, resembling one of Kizaru's casual kicks.Ikaros Much was instantly blasted into an overcooked, charred squid jerky.Usopp and Chopper, having finished their battles, watched, their eyes wide and sparkling."Radical Beeeam~~"They weren't afraid of hurting their eyes, because the light in their own eyes was even brighter! It was the love for Manly Romance!!Robin, however, had put on sunglasses and looked completely indifferent. Nami, standing behind her, was equally cold.The ladies still couldn't understand Manly Romance.The Fish-Man Island arc was so simple that the two ladies had no opponents, just like Satoru. The small fry had been cleared out long ago, after all, it was 60,000 versus 20,000.Satoru: What do you mean 'just like me'? Who says I don't have an opponent? Doesn't Vander Decken Icount?!Vander Decken I: How dare I!!!...Wadatsumi was handled by Jinbe and Sanjitogether.But from beginning to end, Sanji was provoking Wadatsumi to inhale and inflate his body.Wadatsumi is a Puffer Fishman, and inflating his body like a balloon is normal.He claimed he wasn't provoked by Sanji to inflate; he did it himself, and now he would spin around in this state and flatten everyone else into meat patties!!However, as soon as he finished his threat, Jinberaised his hand and charged a move."Fish-Man Karate: Secret Technique: Vulture Punch!!"With that one move, Wadatsumi was punched straight through. Like a punctured balloon, he flew into the sky, only to be kicked back down to the ground by a fiery Sanji, who was venting his immense dissatisfaction with his experiences over the past two years."Hell Memories!!"Wadatsumi fell, blazing with fire.Sanji stood in the air, cigarette dangling from his mouth."Heh heh, scared stiff, huh? That saves me some trouble...""When cooking pufferfish, you must remove the gall bladder!!"Pufferfish gall bladders are highly poisonous... Zorowas utterly disappointed with Hyouzou, the Fish-Man Island's greatest swordsman, declaring he wasn't even fit to entertain him!!Zoro turned to leave, presenting his back to Hyouzou.Hyouzou naturally seized the opportunity to launch a sneak attack, unaware that he had been surrounded by Ghostly Aura the moment he approached Zoro."Stop it, you damned frog!"Zoro said, "Frog..." Hyouzou shouted that he wasn't a frog, but Hyouzou, the greatest swordsman of Fish-Man Island!Zoro's response to this was only four characters. Which four?"Purgatory Onigiri!"Three slashes passed through; Hyouzou's sword shattered, blood spurted, and he fell.Zoro didn't forget to finish with a taunt, "My bad, I thought you were a frog in a well."At this point, all executives of the New Fish-Man Pirates were defeated.Of the remaining 70,000 Fishman subordinates, 50,000 were knocked unconscious by Luffy's Haoshoku, and the remaining 20,000 were also controlled.Now, all that remained was the matter of the noahfloating above Fish-Man Island, and Hody Jones, the final boss... Everyone looked up; the noah overhead was the final crisis.Following this came Ryuboshi's assessment of Hody Jones.Simply put, he was a monster created by his environment.If Satoru were to say it, he was a monster with no brains.Hody Jones certainly didn't like Ryuboshi's words and quickly launched an attack.But knowing Luffy's strength, he immediately turned and charged at Shirahoshi. Underwater, Luffy had many restraints, and his speed couldn't match Hody Jones.To save Shirahoshi, Luffy had no choice but to push off Ryuboshi with his legs and dart out.Although he successfully blocked Hody Jones, he was bitten on the shoulder, and the blood flowed profusely.Enduring the pain, Luffy delivered a punch to Hody Jones's left ribcage.Hody Jones was sent flying. Satoru appeared, his right hand using the Blooming ability to form a large arm outside the bubble, gripping Hody Jones's neck.
Chapter 818: Don't Provoke HumansInside Fish-Man Island, all the executives of the New Fish-Man Pirates were defeated, and the grunt Fishmen were also restrained.At this point, the only remaining crises for Fish-Man Island were the noah Ark hovering above and Hody Jones.Everyone could only pin their hopes on Luffy and Satoru... Hody Jones bit Luffy's shoulder while Luffywas helping Shirahoshi, but Luffy immediately sent him flying.Just as Luffy had said, Hody Jones's resistance to damage was easily over a hundred million. He tried to press forward again, but the suddenly appearing Satoru grabbed his neck with a Blooming Arm."Luffy, you go solve the noah Ark problem.""Xiao Bai is about to 'give out'.""Leave him to me.""Alright, I'm counting on you, Satoru!"Luffy went to deal with the noah without hesitation; trusting Satoru was something he would never hesitate about in his life.Naturally, Satoru wouldn't let Luffy down, though even if Satoru failed, Luffy wouldn't blame him.Whether he succeeds or fails, the future is uncertain.But right now, there was no way Satoru could lose to Hody Jones. If he lost even to him, Satoru might as well smash his head against a block of tofu and die.Hody Jones tried to break free from Satoru's grip on his Blooming Arm, but no matter how hard he pulled with both hands, the Blooming Arm wouldn't budge even slightly."Hody Jones?""You're both named Jones. Are you related to that Death God Davy Jones?""Or maybe you're the illegitimate son of that old bastard Davy Jones?"Satoru asked.The only response he got was Hody Jones's impotent roar, "You damned Human!!!""I'm going to bite you to death!! I'll tear off every inch of your flesh and blood!!"Hody Jones had taken too many drugs by this point; his eyes were white pupils on a red base, and he was completely insane. No matter who stood before him, he wasn't afraid—just this crazy.Satoru shook his head. "How pitiful.""Having such great confidence without the corresponding strength.""Truly pathetic.""You believe in Fishman Supremacy!""Humans aren't qualified to use Fish-Man Karate?""Then fall beneath the Fishman Style used by me, a Human!!"After speaking, Satoru squeezed the Blooming Arm tightly. A cracking sound followed—the sound of breaking bones.Hody Jones rolled his eyes from the pain.Next, Satoru threw him downwards, and the Blooming Arm extending from his palm dissipated. Satoru followed the falling Hody Jones, twisting his body to pursue, bending his arm to gather strength. It wasn't a palm strike descending from the heavens, but a fist rushing up from the water."Fish-Man Karate: Secret Technique: Vowsei-gan!!"Hody Jones had recovered his senses at this moment, his eyes filled with clarity. Satoru's figure continuously grew larger in his vision. He couldn't believe that this Human knew the Fish-Man Karate: Secret Technique: Vowsei-gan, a technique he himself didn't know!!"This is impossible!!!"However, nothing was impossible. Satoru's punch landed squarely on his abdomen. Hody Jones's mouth flew open and his eyes bulged out. Simultaneously, his fantasy of going to Mary Geoiseand slaughtering the Human Kingdom was utterly shattered.The impact exploded, and Hody Jones was sent plummeting downwards at extreme speed, passing through the two layers of Fish-Man Island's Shabondama Bubble coating and falling straight down. With a loud crash, he slammed onto the ground. Cracks spread across the ground for a considerable distance.Hody Jones had lost consciousness and landed right behind the Straw Hat Pirates crew. Jinbe looked at him, shaking his head and sighing.Shaking his head at his own naivety, and at Hody Jones's idiotic madness.The Fish-Man Race could have started living on the surface ten years ago... They didn't pay much attention to Hody Jones; he couldn't cause any more trouble.Everyone continued to hold their breath, staring up at the massive noah Ark slowly descending.That was the biggest crisis!! And the crisis had not yet been averted!!...While Satoru was dealing with Hody Jones, Ryuboshi, the First Prince of Fish-Man Island, was also busy. He continued to use the broadcast to inform the residents of Fish-Man Island.What had turned Fish-Man Island into its current state, and what had caused his mother's death, was [Resentment]!It was the resentment of the Fish-Man Race towards the Human Race.Satoru fully agreed. If he were a Fish-Man, he would also hate Humans.As the First Prince of Fish-Man Island, for him to let go of the hatred stemming from what Humans had done to the Fish-Man Race, he was generous, even saintly.But this was the correct approach.In the Pirate World, where various races coexist, the influence of Humans remains the strongest. Although Human factions themselves are chaotic, turning against Humans will still not yield good results.Overall, don't provoke Humans. Humans can be cruel even to other Humans, let alone different species.Therefore, Ryuboshi requested that Luffy destroy this resentment, resetting the resentment-filled Fish-Man Island so it could start anew.Luffy was still figuring out how to deal with the noah Ark. He knew the significance of the noah to the Fish-Man Race—Satoru had told him—which was why he hesitated about how to resolve it. If he had to lift it, he couldn't.And Ryuboshi's words gave Luffy an idea."If I'm free to handle it, then I have a way.""Leave everything to me!! Big Brother Star!!""Because we are friends!""Gomu Gomu... Elephant Gatling!!"...Just like the original storyline, Luffy chose to smash the noah to protect Fish-Man Island.Because at this time, it wasn't the Shabondama Bubble supporting the noah, but Xiao Bai holding it.So Luffy could only rely on the small shabondama bubbles surrounding him to provide himself with air.Therefore, every time, his fist would only transform into an Elephant Gun once it extended outside the bubble, and shrink back to its original size when pulled back. He repeatedly treated the noah like a punching bag.This required extremely high control, otherwise the Shabondama Bubble wouldn't hold up. This showed that Luffy's progress over the past two years was truly immense.The noah, an antique at least 800 years old, suffered continuous strikes.To be honest, Satoru felt that without Xiao Bai and without knowing Shirahoshi's ability, he too would have chosen to smash the noah. After all, if it fell, zero people on Fish-Man Island would survive."This is the Ryugu Communication Tower!!""Report, report!! Mr. Straw Hat Luffy is destroying the noah!! In order to protect our island!!"The communication soldier broadcasted this live to the people below.Then Ryuboshi's voice rang out again."Father King! I apologize, but this is the only way to save Fish-Man Island!!"Neptune fell silent. The noah was originally the hope meant to lead the Fish-Man Race to the surface, but now it had become a crisis threatening to destroy Fish-Man Island. Was this fate's arrangement?Destroy it, then destroy it!!The Promised Ship.There's no choice. Joy Boy, I apologize, the promise seems to have been... Ace, Marco, and Jozu, the three bystanders, were secretly overseeing the entire situation.Hearing this news, Jozu and Marco spoke up.Jozu declared: "That's the act of a man!""Smashing the noah? Ace, your younger brother is truly 'generous with his actions'."Ace laughed loudly: "Hahahaha, that's certainly something Luffy would do.""However, does Satoru truly have no other way to solve this?"Ace expressed his doubt by glancing at the bullet in his palm.
