Fish-Man Island can be said to be an island quite close to the Navy's sphere of influence.

Relatively speaking, it is also an island far away from the sphere of influence of the Four Emperors.

At the beginning, Whitebeard thought of friendship, and in order to protect Fish-Man Island, he included Fish-Man Island in his sphere of influence.

Under the influence of Whitebeard's deterrent power, the pirates, who would have posed a huge threat to Fish-Man Island, have instead become a regular customer base of Fish-Man Island.

More than ten years later,

A steady stream of pirates from Fish-Man Island to the New World brought a booming economic development to Fish-Man Island, and it has grown into a ripe fruit with an alluring luster.

now

After losing the protection of Whitebeard, this ripe fruit was placed in front of everyone's eyes.

So much so that the eldest aunt of the Four Emperors, Charlotte. Lingling, after pocketing all the territory that can be divided, is eyeing Fish-Man Island, the farthest away from her, and the last piece of delicious cake left.

To this end, he also sent the highest cadre under his command, Charlotte, one of the four stars of dessert. Smuji, as well as nearly 100 elite soldiers under his command.

This shows how much attention Lingling attaches to this operation.

"Lord Smudge, do you want to do it? Kill the pirates in the square now, and the follow-up work can be more effortless. ”

One of the squad leaders under his command looked up at the cold-looking Smuji and made suggestions.

"No, let's go to Dragon Palace City first."

Smuji refused, and looked away from the square to look at the Dragon Palace Castle hanging in the air.

They're here to reclaim territory, not destroy Fish-Man Island.

It is more important to have the Neptunes surrender first than to immediately Liwei.

Faintly audible noises coming from the streets in the distance, Smuji's gaze paused for more than a few breaths on Ryugu Castle.

Then, she took out her long legs and headed in the direction of Ryugu Castle.

Behind him, there are crooked-looking crew members, but their breath is quite vigorous.

When walking in formation, the momentum is quite conspicuous, and it is not easy to mess with at first glance.

On the nearby street, there is a group of pirates numbering about twenty.

They were heading towards Geelongkaud Square, and when they passed the fork in the road, they noticed the presence of Smuji and his party from a distance.

The first sturdy pirate with a full beard, the moment he saw Smuji, his eyes suddenly widened, and a sense of horror quickly appeared in his eyes, as if he had seen some extremely terrifying existence.

"Damn, have the pirates already reached here?"

The bearded pirates retreated, and without even saying hello, they quickly retreated into a laneway, clinging to the wall, their faces cloudy.

The pirates who were walking with him also recognized the origin of Smuji and his party, and between the drastic changes in their faces, they also quickly burrowed into the alleyway.

"That woman just now is the highest cadre of the Pirates...... Charlotte Murge, one of the four generals! ”

"I remember her bounty, it seems to be a billion !!"

"It's 932 million."

"Since even the top cadres have been sent, then, that monster woman must have regarded Fish-Man Island as something in her pocket."

"What then? Are we still going to the square? ”

"If you're tired of living, go ahead, I'm not going to get involved in this anyway."

"I finally waited for the opportunity to attack Ryugu Castle...... Giving up like this, Lao Tzu was unwilling. ”

The pirate was very unwilling to hammer his fist, apparently unable to refute his companion's claims.

Everyone in the alleyway, including the bearded pirates who never said a word, all looked apprehensive.

If you had walked on the street a minute or two earlier, it was estimated that you would have bumped into Smuji head-on, and you would definitely have died at that time.

"The guy who took the lead this time is going to be unlucky......"

"Who's coming? I was too drunk yesterday and didn't even hear what you were saying. ”

There are two people who take the lead, one is the black-robed Ribis with a bounty of 330 million, and the other is Arthur...... The bounty is not low, there is about 90 million. ”

"330 million, it's difficult to raise the bounty when it reaches 300 million, the black-robed Libis guy has 330 million, his strength should be very strong, no wonder he dares to take the lead in calling for ......"

"Smuji has 900 million, and that guy is dead."

The people who had palpitations in their hearts were so frightened that their souls were almost gone a second ago, but now they are a little gloating.

The bearded pirate glanced at his companions, took a deep breath, and said in a deep voice: "Just like that, Lao Tzu is not reconciled, it is better to try his luck at the undersea apartment and see if he can catch a few mermaids." ”

Hearing the boss's words, the pirates present glanced at each other, obviously moved.

"A mermaid can be sold for at least 70 million, as long as we can catch one, it is not in vain that we deliberately came to Fish-Man Island from the New World."

"If we're lucky enough to catch three or four, we'll be rich."

"Boss, before that woman makes a mess, let's hurry up."

After mentioning the mermaid girl, the pirates, who were originally a little depressed, were suddenly refreshed.

"Let's go, let's go to Coral Hill to get bubble wrap first, and then go to the undersea apartment!"

"Oh!!"

.........

Geelong Cod Square.

This is the largest square on Fish-Man Island, with a wide and flat terrain surrounded by layers of rock formations.

In the middle of the plaza is a mossy coral reef several meters high.

On the coral reef, there stood a dark-skinned man dressed in a black robe.

The man's figure was extraordinarily strong, and even the loose black robe could not hide it.

And this man is none other than the black-robed Ribis with a bounty of 330 million, and he is also a supernova at the same time as Mordkavendish two years ago.

Originally.

All the supernovas of the same period were very unconvinced, and Maude, as the leading dark horse, challenged Maud in the Chambord Islands.

Except for Ribis, who retreated when he saw that the situation was not good, and Cavendish, who was captured by Maud as research material.

The other supernovas of the same period were all tortured and killed by Maud one by one at that time.

It was then that people really realized the true horror of Maude as the gatekeeper of the New World.

Even the supernovas, who were famous in the first half of the Great Passage, were like children in front of this man, and they didn't need to be beaten at all.

"Arthur."

Ribis looked down at a man wearing a mortician mask next to the reef and said lightly: "At present, it seems that the call is not bad. ”

"Huh."

Arthur's low laughter came from under the mortician mask, and he said in an impatient tone:

"This is the expected result, after all, the target is the treasure trove of Dragon Palace City, how could those guys who rushed to Fish-Man Island for thousands of miles miss this opportunity, the reason why they have not gathered together for a long time is nothing more than the lack of a qualified leader."

"You're right."

Ribis nodded slightly, and turned to look at the pirates gathered from all directions of Fish-Man Island in the square, and an imperceptible cold glint flashed in his eyes.

There are many people, which can certainly increase the chance of breaking through Dragon Palace Castle.

But it also reduces the amount of loot that everyone can get.

This is clearly not what Ribis would like to see.

Then, when attacking Dragon Palace City, it is necessary to let some guys with poor strength go to death first.

Over time.

There are more and more pirates gathering in the square.

Some of these people came for the treasure house of Ryugu Castle, and some came for Princess Shirahoshi, who was famous for her beauty.

"I didn't expect so many people to ......"

"Ryugu Castle is going to be finished, haha!"

While waiting, most of the pirates are ready to move.

In their opinion, the remnants of the army in Dragon Palace City could no longer pose a threat to them.

The only thing worth paying attention to is none other than the three Neptune brothers who represent the top combat power of Dragon Palace City.

However, the eldest of the three brothers, Shark Star, had been defeated by the black-robed Ribis who had summoned them not long ago.

Thinking of this, most of the pirates in the square looked at the black-robed Rebis standing on the coral reef.

"Is that the black-robed Rebes...... A man with a bounty of more than 300 million. ”

"Hey, that guy, did you really defeat the shark star in Ryugu City?"

"Yes, I saw that battle with my own eyes, and he is known as the strongest shark star in Dragon Palace City, but in the hands of Ribis, he can't even hold ten moves......"

"Really? That's a shark! ”

"With so many people seeing it with their own eyes, can it still be fake?"

"In this way, if he is here, there is no need to worry about the three Neptune brothers."

"Otherwise, why do you think we would answer the call of Ribes?"

If it weren't for this man's worth of up to 300 million and his record of defeating the Great Prince Shark Star of Dragon Palace City, how could they have gathered in the square.

The pirates in the square are gathering more and more.

Ribis standing on the reef and Arthur leaning against the reef could not hide their excitement.

"Princess Shirahoshi can only be mine!"

Ribis couldn't help but look up at Ryugu Castle above, his eyes flashing with an undisguised glint of desire.

Before the action began, he had already imagined the graceful carcass of Princess Shirahoshi in his mind.

As for the awe-inspiring gazes of the pirates in the square, they were directly ignored by him who was full of Princess Shirahoshi.

Arthur lowered his head and said to himself in his heart: "This guy Ribis just wants to get Princess Shirahoshi, and as long as I can get the gold and silver treasures of Ryugu City, I can go to the black market to buy a Devil Fruit......"

This man who survived the events in Mad Hatter traveled from the Great Passage's Paradise to the New World and from the New World back to Fish-Man Island in order to get a Devil Fruit.

The whole process has been running for several years.

However, the goddess of fate did not smile at him.

No matter how hard he tried, he couldn't get a Devil Fruit as he wished.

For this reason, not long after arriving on Fish-Man Island, after seeing the situation on Fish-Man Island, he immediately tied up with Ribis, who had a bounty of more than 300 million, to persuade him to agree to the plan to call on the island pirates to attack Dragon Palace City.

The two hit it off on the spot, and there was a scene where a large number of pirates gathered towards Geelongkaud Square.

With so many troops gathered at the moment, Arthur had a feeling that he was in control.

"I'm going to get a Devil Fruit no matter what!!"

Arthur shouted frantically in his heart.

This man's desire for the Devil Fruit may have reached the level of demonic fear.

They felt that they had the chance to win, but they didn't expect that Fish-Man Island had just ushered in two behemoths.

Suddenly.

An exclamation rang out somewhere in the square.

"Hey, look at !! above"

"Huh?"

Hearing that exclamation, the pirates in the square looked up one after another and froze.

Below the entrance of the passage of Dragon Palace City, the mermaid princess Bai Xing, who was coveted by countless men, appeared so suddenly.

What surprised many pirates present was that this mermaid princess, who had haunted them, was actually tied up with a rope and a seductive figure.

Of course, that's not the point.

The focus is on the mermaid princess who lives deep in Dragon Palace City, who was not only tied up by five flowers, but also sent out of Dragon Palace City.

"What's going on? Why did the mermaid princess ......"

"Hey, I'm not mistaken, right?"

"Gollum."

Someone swallowed wildly.

on coral reefs.

Ribis looked up at the princess Shirahoshi who suddenly appeared, his eyes suddenly stretched to the maximum, and blood beads appeared from the whites of his eyes with excitement.

"What's going on?"

Arthur frowned.

Such a discordant scene not only made him not as excited as Ribis, but gave birth to a bad premonition.

But a lot of pirates, apparently not so much.

When the world-famous Princess Shirahoshi is tied up and brought to them by the Five Flowers, there is only one thing to do!!

"Princess Baixing is Lao Tzu, no one can rob it!"

"Get out of the way, whoever grabs it first will be who's?"

"Hey, who's better marksmanship? Hurry up and pop the bubble wrap on Princess Shirahoshi and make her fall off! ”

"Are you an idiot? No one is allowed to shoot, if you injure Princess Shirahoshi, Lao Tzu will fight with you! ”

The appearance of Princess Shirahoshi directly plunged the square into chaos.

Almost all of the pirates have red eyes, like wolves, looking at the white stars suspended in the sky with the help of bubble wraps.

Coveting Shirahoshi's body is one thing, and more importantly, it is the high price that Coveting Shirahoshi has as a mermaid princess.

As long as the white star is sent to the auction house in the Chambord Islands, it is bound to fetch an unprecedented price!

on the sky.

Princess Shirahoshi, who was tied up with five flowers, looked at the wolf-like pirates below in horror as if they were going to eat her.

"Woo ......"

Feeling the evil gaze that came one after another, Princess Shirahoshi bit the corner of her lip and forcibly refused to cry, only let out a low whimper.

On a rocky hill at the edge of the square.

"The captain is really fast."

Looking at Princess Shirahoshi who was hanging at the entrance of the passage of Dragon Palace City, Lafayette's blood-like red lips gently pulled out an arc.

Jim glanced at the excited pirates in the square and muffled, "I think it's almost time to make a move." ”

"Don't worry, at least wait until the mermaid princess shows her value and attracts all the pirates who are still watching......"

Lafayette raised his cane and crossed it in front of Jim, signaling him not to be too eager.

Jim reached out and gently pushed his cane away, nodded and said, "Understood." ”

Hawkins' eyelids drooped, playing with divination cards, and thinking in his heart: What kind of changes will the trip to Fish-Man Island bring?

on the square.

Lafayette persuaded Jim, but no one could convince the black-robed Rebes, who was running with high desire.

"It's so beautiful, it's so beautiful......"

In Ribis's bloodshot eyes, at this moment, only the figure of Shirahoshi was accommodated.

Boom!

Ribis slammed into it, and the reef cracked.

With the help of the recoil force, Ribis's figure flew into the air and flew like a cannonball towards Princess Shirahoshi who was hanging at the entrance and exit of Ryugu Castle.

Strong strength, as well as a desire for Princess Shirahoshi, gave Ribis the confidence not to be afraid of traps.

In this way, under the watchful eyes of the many pirates in the square, Ribis became the first person to approach Princess Shirahoshi.

"Damn it!"

Seeing that Ribis was about to capture Princess Shirahoshi, the excitement on the faces of the pirates couldn't help but freeze.

Just when everyone thought that Princess Shirahoshi was about to fall into the clutches of Rebes, a gunshot suddenly rang out at the entrance of Ryugu Castle.

Whew——!

A lead bullet flew from top to bottom, past Princess Shirahoshi, and flew straight towards Ribes, who came into the sky.

"But that's it!"

Ribis, who had long been mentally prepared for the ambush trap, immediately sneered after seeing the trajectory of the lead bullet.

If this shot is Ryugu Castle's confidence in using Princess Shirahoshi as bait, it is really ridiculous enough, and it is stupid to go home!

Ribis's mind raced, but he leaned down slightly, allowing the lead bullet to pass through his chest.

"Huh? This is......?! ”

Just when Ribis thought he was dodging the buckshot, his excellent eyesight allowed him to capture an incredible scene.

Time seemed to slow down, and without warning, the lead bullet turned around and burrowed straight into his chest.

Burst!

Ribis's body shook, and a blood splattered from his chest.

The impact of the buckshot caused him to fall from the air.

"Buckshot that can turn...... Is it the man? Is that the man!? ”

His body was falling rapidly, and his chest ached violently, but in Ribis's mind, a name that he didn't dare to look at kept ringing.

Boom!

Ribis's body slammed into the square, sending up a lot of smoke and dust.

Seeing that Ribis was shot and fell to the ground, the pirates in the square were stunned.

They could never have imagined that a man with a bounty of more than 300 million would be shot down with one shot.

Immediately afterward, an even more shocking scene happened.

"Yes, absolutely......!!!

Ribis jerked to his feet, the brim of his hat falling to the back of his head, revealing his terrified face.

"Only that man can do such a shooting!!"

The trembling voice completely exposed the fear of Ribis to the eyes of many pirates.

"What the hell is he talking about?"

"It's just a shot, why are you afraid of this?"

The pirates have trouble understanding Rebes' strange reaction.

Looking at Ribis's unbearable performance as if he was frightened by something, Arthur's brows furrowed again, and he only felt that the situation was getting out of control.

Ribis ignored the astonished gaze that came from all directions.

He ignored the gunshot wound on his chest and the presence of Princess Shirahoshi, and instead looked up at the entrance of the passage at the bottom of Ryugu Castle.

"It's him, it's definitely him...... Bacardi. Maude, for sure it's here!! ”

"What?!"

Hear Rebes' trembling voice full of fear.

All the pirates, including Arthur, had a reflexive look of horror on their faces.

The square fell silent for a moment.

If what Ribis said is true.

Well, they seem to be able to understand Rebes' reaction.

And only like Bacardi. A monster like Maude, which can be compared to the Four Emperors, will make a man with a bounty of more than 300 million afraid of this......

On the street outside the Plaza de la Gealon Cod.

Smuji and the men who followed her closely behind him all stopped.

They also heard the terrified voice of Ribis.

And the reason for them to stop is Bacardi. The name Maude.
