Chapter 186: Chapter 186
Chapter 186
"Just now someone came to report a piece of news."
"Someone spotted Rorschach’s crew and Jinbe appearing at the Marlin Shopping Center. You’d better think carefully whether you let anyone slip in."
Hody’s face was extremely gloomy as he stared sharply at Hammond.
"Well... it seems... yesterday at some point, the sea beasts suddenly got scared and took us far away from Fish-Man Island. I guess there must have been the aura of a super-large Sea King nearby at that time. I think Rorschach’s crew probably sneaked in during that moment. At all other times, I absolutely did not leave my post and have been guarding the entry and exit of Fish-Man Island."
Hammond was sweating profusely, his face filled with indescribable fear.
Although he was one of the officers, facing the overwhelmingly oppressive Hody Jones, he didn’t even dare to breathe loudly.
After carefully searching his memory, he suddenly remembered that yesterday the sea beasts had inexplicably gone out of control and carried them away from the waters near Fish-Man Island.
It took a lot of effort to calm the sea beasts’ emotions and bring them back.
Thinking about it, that period was the only gap, and Rorschach’s crew must have taken advantage of that time to enter Fish-Man Island.
But what he didn’t know was that it wasn’t any Sea King that scared the sea beasts away.
It was the aura released by the Tenma Dragon that frightened all the weak aquatic creatures.
Even Sea Kings didn’t dare to provoke Little Silver and directly fled with their tails between their legs, while super-giant Sea Kings generally never appeared in the world and stayed hidden in one place.
They only came out if summoned by Shirahoshi or if they wanted to do something. After all, having lived for so many years, their intelligence was already no lower than that of humans.
"Sea King? Well, let’s forget about it this time."
"In the news just now, there was also an unexpected person with Rorschach’s crew."
"That guy Shirahoshi actually came out of the Hard Shell Tower."
Hody spoke with confusion at first, then waved his hand dismissively, considering the matter settled.
He then brought up the news about Shirahoshi.
"Shirahoshi?! Wasn’t Vander Decken forcing her to stay only inside the Hard Shell Tower? Why would she suddenly appear at the Marlin Shopping Center?"
The officers, upon hearing the news, all showed shocked expressions.
They knew about Vander Decken and that he had a very troublesome ability, but he was generally very cunning.
Their boss had wanted to cooperate with him to take over Fish-Man Island in one go, but the other party had never given a clear reply, so the matter was left unresolved.
"Could it be that Shirahoshi isn’t afraid of death?"
"No, Jinbe is still by her side. With Jinbe’s strength, he can indeed protect her."
"But why would Shirahoshi be mixed up with Jinbe and Rorschach’s crew, and even appear in a crowded place like the Marlin Shopping Center? This doesn’t seem normal."
"Who knows, maybe because of those news reports, that old guy Neptune plans to marry his daughter to this brat to win him over."
"Anyway, our goal is just to chop them all down, right? Eh~~"
The officers discussed among themselves, none of them even considering the possibility that Vander Decken was dead.
"Too noisy..."
Hody spoke impatiently, and the scene instantly fell silent.
"I’m afraid that guy Vander Decken has already been captured or killed. That’s why Shirahoshi dares to appear openly in front of the public."
Hody’s voice was calm and cold. He had already thought of the worst-case scenario.
Even with Jinbe protecting Shirahoshi, she would absolutely not appear in a place like the Marlin Shopping Center.
One careless flying weapon could easily injure bystanders.
Eliminating all other possibilities, what remained was the fact that Vander Decken was already dead.
"What?! That guy Vander Decken is actually dead?!"
The officers exclaimed again, then continued: "That guy was as slippery as a loach. I never expected he would be caught by the royal army. How unbelievable."
"Well, he was just a stupid guy anyway. I invited him to join my side several times and he never responded. If that kind of guy is dead, then he’s dead."
Hody’s face was cold and ruthless as he spoke disdainfully.
"How many people have we recruited now?"
"We have already recruited a full forty thousand people, Boss Hody! Are we preparing to start the war?"
Hearing Hody’s question, the officer immediately replied, then spoke with great excitement.
"Forty thousand people? That should be enough. Starting from today, we will overthrow Neptune’s rule and become the king of this island!"
"When the meeting comes in two years, I will kill all those human kings and make humans realize once again that fishmen are the most noble race!"
"Hahahahahaha."
Hody curled the corners of his mouth and burst into loud laughter after he finished speaking.
The officers also laughed along with him, matching the dark atmosphere of Fish-Man Street.
These people were practically missing only the words "I am the villain" written on their faces.
The tragic part was that these people had not realized how vast the gap was between their own strength and the top of the world.
Any single person on Rorschach’s ship was enough to defeat them all. Only someone like Luffy’s crew liked to hold back and fight back and forth with people of this level of strength.
"Big Brother Arlong’s grudge will be avenged by us! Jinbe and that traitor Neptune! Today we will execute them!"
"Notify the men below to gather all their subordinates! We are going to start taking action!"
"Yes!!"
A long-planned rebellion was now set in motion.
...
On the other side, Rorschach and the others arrived inside the Mermaid Cafe.
Camie and the others were very happy to see Rorschach’s arrival and all rushed over at once.
"Rorschach-kun~~~ I didn’t expect you would still come to see us. I’m so touched."
Ishilly and Merou hugged Rorschach from left and right and gave him a face wash.
"Well, after shopping for so long, I suddenly wanted to find a place to rest, so I thought of coming here. Speaking of which, business today still seems pretty slow."
Rorschach broke free, hugged the waists of the two mermaid girls, and sat down.
The mermaid girls’ enthusiasm was still so overwhelming, but unfortunately they were still in their fish-tail state. It would be a while before they could grow legs.
"Well, because of Rorschach-kun, there don’t seem to be many humans on the island right now. All the pirates have run away."
Camie explained with a smile from the side.
"By the way, do you need me to call Madam Shyarly out?"
She then spoke again as if remembering something.
"No need. By the way, what does Madam Shyarly usually do in the store? Is she very busy?"
Rorschach waved his hand to refuse, then asked curiously.
"Well, Madam Shyarly is usually quite free. She doesn’t do much. Occasionally she experiments with coffee flavors."
Hearing Rorschach’s question, Camie lightly tapped her lips with her finger in a thinking pose and said.
"As expected, people who run stores are usually quite free."
Rorschach said with a look of "just as I thought."
"Aaaah~~~~~~~"
At this moment, a sudden scream reached everyone’s ears.
