Eventually, Maud decided to take a trip to Fish-Man Island.

As a result, Jaya could only temporarily stop her cultivation and stick the remaining ores to the bottom of the terrifying three-masted ship irregularly.

Only a small area of water is set aside above it for mooring the pirate ships of the various pirate groups under its command, as well as Maud's Stygian.

Early the next morning.

The terrifying three-masted ship, which had just entered the New World, embarked on its way home.

But before you go to Fish-Man Island, you have to solve the problem of coating and permanent pointers.

With enough time, these questions can be taken slowly.

In the early morning, the mist fills the air.

The sea is calm.

Three pirate ships and a merchant ship are quietly moored in the calm sea.

On the deck of the merchant ship, there are no corpses and blood all over the ground yesterday.

But if you look closely, you can still see some faint blood stains on the deck.

As the sun rises, the mist fades away.

Without the cover of mist, a large warship appeared on the sea in the distance, sailing through the waves.

The movement of the warship was soon seen by the shipwright in charge of the lookout on the merchant ship.

"I saw a warship!!"

After seeing the warship, the boatman shouted excitedly.

Hearing the shout, the people in the cabin came to the deck one by one, looking excited, and looking at the warship coming towards the merchant ship with great eagerness.

"It's finally here......

People were excited and muttered to themselves.

When attacked by the Alice Pirates, the rudder of the merchant ship was devastated.

Therefore, after Maude and his party left, they could only stay where they were and wait for the rescue of the navy.

As for using the three pirate ships next to them to go to the nearest island, they couldn't even think of such a thing.

After a while.

The warship finally came to the merchant ship, put the sails at anchor, and set up the gangway.

Heavily armed naval units descended the gangway to the deck of the merchant ship.

The man at the head, tall and tall, with sunglasses on his face and half a piece of pizza on the corner of his mouth, was Virgo, who was sent by the Don Quixote family to work as an undercover agent in the navy.

The G5 branch he served in was one of the few branches of the Navy in the New World.

If you receive a request for help, it is basically the navy of the G5 branch to rush to help.

It was no accident that the warship led by Virgo would be here.

"You met the Maud Pirates?"

Boarding the deck of the merchant ship, Virgo folded his hands behind his back, with a faint smile on his face, and looked at the people in front of him kindly.

But in the eyes behind the sunglasses, it was impossible to hide the killing intent aimed at Maude.

Fortunately, he was covered by sunglasses, so as not to let others notice his reaction.

"Yes, yes......"

The civilians watched Virgo cautiously.

The admiral in front of him looked very kind, but it gave them goosebumps inexplicably.

"You're safe now, but we need more detailed information about the Maude Pirates, so after we confirm the situation at the scene, we will ask you all kinds of questions, and I hope you can cooperate."

Virgo was still kind.

"Okay, no problem!"

Civilians responded one after another.

For them, personal safety is more important than anything else.

Virgo then asked his men, who looked more like pirates, to inspect the pirate ship next to them.

These subordinates of his, who looked improper, but their abilities were acceptable, quickly checked the situation of the three pirate ships next to them.

Later, Virgo asked the people on the merchant ship about Maude in detail......

A few hours later.

The warship craned its sails and led the civilians to the nearest island.

Captain indoors.

Virgo sat behind his desk with a blank face.

On the table, there is a text intelligence information about Maud that has just been organized.

Details of what Maude said on merchant ships and pirate ships were all written down word for word.

It's so rigorous, it's morbid.

But it's Maude that deserves to be treated like this by Virgo.

"Bacardi. Hammond. ”

Virgo looked coldly at Maude's bounty order on the side, with a cold killing intent between his eyebrows.

Never since he could remember it was such a strong desire to take out someone.

Bulu Bulu –

In the pocket of the underwear, there was a slight vibration.

Virgo's face changed slightly, his eyes immediately glowed red, and he sensed the situation near the captain's room with the color of seeing and hearing.

After confirming that no one was there, Virgo took out a small white pair of phone bugs from deep in his pocket.

This phone bug is a special phone bug for Virgo to contact the family.

Only when something important happens, the family will contact him as an undercover agent in the navy.

Virgo answers the phone bug.

"Coke beef patty."

After connecting, a male voice came from the other side of the phone bug.

Virgo looked at the phone bug that had not changed his image, and said calmly: "Hamburger fries." ”

After answering the mediocre code, Virgo asked, "What's the matter?" ”

"Just now, we got the information of the 'Earthquake Fruit'."

"Huh? Shocking fruit, you say?! ”

Virgo's eyes froze, and half of the beef patty stuck to his mouth fell to the ground.

"That's right, the Shock Fruit that made Whitebeard the strongest name in the world...... We're going to get our hands on it anyway!! ”

"What do you need me to do?"

Virgo stared at the phone bug.

It's a person who knows very well what the Shock Fruit means.

As long as you get your hands on it, you can gain strong power in a short period of time.

The person on the other side of the phone bug said in an unquestionable tone: "Come with us and get the 'Shock Fruit' in your hands." ”

"And who I am now?"

"It's even more important to get the Shock Fruit, among us, only you haven't eaten the Shock, and only you are the most suitable to eat the Shock Fruit."

"I see."

Virgo's eyes were cold.

The Don Quixote family can be said to be the standard powerhouse.

From the head of the family, Doflamingo, down to the cadres at all levels, they are basically capable people.

After all, the Don Quixote family controls a huge trading channel and has countless black industries under its control, so it is easy to get all kinds of devil fruits that are extremely rare for ordinary people.

Because it is easy to get a Devil Fruit, the cadres in the family can basically get a Devil Fruit.

And Virgo was sent by Doflamingo to the Navy as an undercover agent many years ago, so naturally he couldn't enjoy the benefits of the Devil Fruit in the family.

So until now, Virgo hadn't eaten a Devil Fruit.

now

The Don Quixote family, who lost Doflamingo and shared the sky with Maude, obtained information on the whereabouts of the Earthquake Fruit with the help of the intelligence network under their command, and it was inevitable to obtain the Earthquake Fruit.

In the case that the cadres of the entire family are basically capable people, once they get the shock fruit, it is natural that Virgo will eat it.

As long as the family can get the ability to shock, even if Virgo gives up his identity as an undercover agent in the navy, he will not hesitate.

Virgo then spoke to the person on the other side of the phone bug and hung up.

"Quake Fruit ......"

This Devil Fruit, which has the ability to destroy the world, is undoubtedly something that every strong person on the sea wants.

Virgo, of course, is no exception.

He mainly focuses on physical skills and domineering, and if he can get the ability of the Shock Fruit, in terms of strength, he will get an extremely considerable improvement.

..........

A week later.

10,000 meters below the seabed.

Fish-Man Island, wrapped in giant bubble wrap, hangs quietly above the seabed.

The sunlight transmitted by the sun tree Eve through the roots of the tree, Fish-Man Island, located in the depths of the sea, exudes a bright and moving light.

It's just that

No matter how touching and warm the sun is, the entire inhabitants of Fish-Man Island, including the royal family, are shrouded in a haze that is difficult to dispel.

Since the end of the War, slave catchers and pirates have been pouring into Fish-Man Island from all directions as if they were crazy.

Losing the protection of Whitebeard's banner, and the number of pirates who have come to Fish-Man Island, is so large that the censorship checkpoint set up at the entrance to Fish-Man Island is completely meaningless.

And the troops of Fish-Man Island, in front of the pirates who came like locusts, couldn't even defend the main gate.

The loss of the gate is convenient for more and more pirates.

They don't need to take the riskier way of entering the country illegally to get into Fish-Man Island safely.

The invasion of a large number of pirates and the shortage of troops in the kingdom of Fish-Man Island have caused the streets of Fish-Man Island to become very deserted and depressed.

In order to evade the pursuit of slave traps and pirates, a large number of merfolk hid directly in the deepest part of the Coral Apartment.

It's just that

When countless beasts of prey have red eyes and open their mouths with drooling fangs, no matter how deep they hide, they may be picked out.

Almost a day, there will be several mermaid girls who will suffer......

And their final fate goes without saying.

Fish-Man Island, Ryugu Castle.

This is the base of the royal family of Fish-Man Island.

Located on the top floor of Fish-Man Island, where you can see the sun, it is a large luxurious palace made of large coral reefs, shells, and other building materials, and a giant dragon is entrenched.

The main hall inside the palace.

The king of the dragon palace kingdom of Fish-Man Island, Neptune, the great knight of the sea, who wears a crown and is bigger than the average mermaid, sits on the throne.

His right hand clenched into a fist and pressed it against his forehead.

The thick and fluffy beard couldn't hide his sorrow at the moment.

Below the throne.

Standing is a catfish mermaid wearing a top hat, wearing one-sided glasses in his left eye, and holding a horned cane in his right hand.

This is the left minister of Ryugu Castle.

"Your Majesty Neptune...... Coral Hill, a port town in the south-east direction, has been occupied by a large number of pirates, and the Great Prince Shark Star leads the army to crusade against the pirates. ”

"But the other side is outnumbered, the army is defeated, the losses are heavy, and the Great Prince Shark Star is even more injured, fortunately, there is no big problem, but if it continues like this, what should I do."

Minister Zuo lowered his head, his face full of grief.

To the right of the Left Minister, stood a seahorse mermaid armed with a long knife from the String Moon.

He is the right minister of Ryugu Castle.

After Minister Zuo's report, he took a step forward, gritted his teeth, and said, "Your Majesty, the message for help sent to the Navy Headquarters has not been answered. ”

"Really......"

Neptune's brows furrowed and he sighed, "This is a crisis on Fish-Man Island after all, and you can't pin your hopes on 'humans'. ”

As he spoke, Neptune clenched his fists and said in a deep voice: "There are too many pirates, and our forces are getting tighter and tighter, so we can no longer take the initiative to attack the pirates, we can only shrink the defense line and ensure the safety of the people as much as possible." ”

At this moment, a guard hurried into the palace and came under the throne.

Everyone in the hall, including Neptune, looked at the guards.

The guard's face was heavy, and he looked up at Neptune on the throne.

"Your Majesty Neptune, just now, the eyeliner placed at the entrance saw the banner of the Four Emperors BIGMOM Pirates......!"

"What!?"

Neptune's face changed.

On the other hand, the ministers in the palace also changed drastically.

Even the people of the Four Emperors came......

Streaks of green veins appeared in the corners of Neptune's forehead.

It is only in this situation that the importance of the Whitebeard flag can be profoundly reflected.

"Abominable ......"

Neptune gritted his teeth and gritted his forehead, "Is Fish-Man Island going back to when the era of pirates began......

Even though the island's forces are far superior to those of twenty years ago, it is difficult to resist the many more locust-like pirates.

The Navy Headquarters, after all, is still prejudiced against foreign races, so it won't do its best to come to help.

If you want to eliminate the threat from the pirates, there seems to be no other way than to get the protection of the Four Emperors.

Neptune gritted his teeth and thought about it, when an idea suddenly came to him.

Today's Whitebeard Banner has lost its protective effect.

And the Four Emperors BIGMOM Pirates came to Fish-Man Island in front of this kind of juncture, and they may be able to take refuge in the BIGMOM Pirates.

"I don't know if it's because the ships under the command of the BIGMOM Pirates came to Fish-Man Island, and the pirates who occupied Coral Hill are now approaching Kualon Cod Square in groups."

The guards then reported the information that had just been passed from the eyeline.

"Got it, you stand down."

Neptune took a deep breath.

After the idea of seeking refuge in the BIGMOM Pirates, the news that the pirates of Coral Hill are moving closer to the Kualon Cod Square seems to be less important.

Because, what is the purpose of the pirates gathered in the Geelongkaud Square, with the strength of Dragon Palace City, they can only defend unilaterally.

"Right Minister."

Neptune looked at the right minister of the Seahorse Merfolk under the throne and ordered:

"You immediately send someone to contact the BIGMOM Pirates and invite the principal to Ryugu Castle, remember, no matter what the other party's intentions are, you can't do anything with them."

"Yes."

Although the right minister was puzzled, he still stepped back and went to prepare for this matter as soon as possible.

After the right minister left the palace, the left minister looked up at Neptune and asked hesitantly, "Your Majesty, what are you going to do...... Seeking refuge in the Four Emperors BIGMOM Pirates? ”

“……”

Neptune was silent for a moment, then sighed, "Maybe this is the only way to solve the crisis, just like Newgate left the flag on Fish-Man Island......"

"But the other party is the BIGMOM Pirates......"

"I know."

Neptune interrupted the Left Chancellor.

"But as long as we can meet the requirements of the BIGMOM Pirates, the protective effect brought by the flag is the same......"
