Chapter 215: Prelude to War
Night.
Fish-Man Island, mermaid café.
There are many people who want to come here for a cup of coffee after a hard day's work.
As a result, the business in the store gradually became busy.
The mermaid ladies come and go, entertaining guests, and even little Kemi is trying to help.
Suddenly—
Whoa!
In the lounge of the store, there was a cacophony of smashing dishes.
"What's wrong?!"
Little Kemi, with Papagu on his head, looked into the store with several mermaid ladies.
I saw that the manager of the mermaid café, Miss Xia Li, had stumbled out of the lounge, completely ignoring the broken dishes behind her.
She held the divination crystal ball in her arms and fell to the ground with a thud, her face pale.
"No, it's not good......"
Xia Li covered her head and said in horror: "I just tried divination, and the situation is very wrong!" ”
"It's the [Demon], and the people who walk with him!"
"They...... They ......"
Xia Li muttered, looking back at the translucent crystal ball in her arms.
The results of the divination are further revealed, and the ominous future makes Xia Li's pupils shrink sharply.
"War is about to break out on Fish-Man Island, and [Demon] and his companions are among them!"
"Remind everyone to evacuate, hurry!"
……
There is a divination prophecy about Miss Xia Li.
Her divination often foreshadows some kind of "ominous future".
For example, the top war, or the death of Whitebeard.
The result of the divination will inevitably happen, but when it will be, even Xia Li herself has no way of knowing.
However, combined with the actual situation, it can be roughly inferred.
As a result of Xia Li's prediction, somewhere on Fish-Man Island will be bombarded with "artillery fire", and the cries for help from residents are everywhere.
The fire is blazing!
In that raging flame, the [Demon] spread its wings behind it, as if it was fighting against something, unscrupulously venting its power!
First of all, the [Demon] and his party are not destined to stay on Fish-Man Island for long;
Secondly, there are not many people who are qualified to fight against [demons] on this sea;
Finally, according to the news brought by the guards of Ryugu Castle, the [Demon] and his party were entrusted by Princess Otohime to investigate the "lurking Four Emperor Pirates".
From this, Xia Li can almost assert:
This terrible "war" is very likely to start from this, and it will break out soon after!
……
"Kemi, Papagu, go contact Ryugu City now!"
Xia Li gasped and instructed Kemi, "At least let the king and Princess Otohime know about this, quickly!" ”
"Good...... Good! ”
Little Kemi was stunned, then nodded again and again, and ran all the way against Papagu.
But before she could run to the phone bug, there was already movement on the street outside.
Explosions, cries for help, shouting, commotion......
All of this hit everyone's eardrums and made Xia Li's face even more ugly.
"Go evacuate, quick!"
……
For many, the unrest was sudden.
Almost no one could have predicted that at the bottom of the sea around Fish-Man Island, there were a large number of members of the Hundred Beast Pirates!
Although they are all ordinary members, after all, they have all survived in the New World, and their strength far exceeds that of other third-rate pirates.
And there are extremely many of them, about a few hundred people.
Ride on their respective warships and pour in from the outside of the bubble film to cause chaos in Fish-Man Island!
Stunned, panicked, powerless, angry, afraid......
All kinds of emotions are condensed together, and they are captured by "her"'s natural domineering.
She—
Princess Otohime!
……
Not all of them did not "anticipate".
Miss Charlie, a soothsayer, foresaw the outbreak of war.
And in Ryugu Castle, Princess Otohime, who was born with a domineering appearance, also sensed the approaching "malice".
In the air!
Like the night sky on the sea, the stars are scattered on the bottom of the sea, surrounding Fish-Man Island!
“……”
Princess Otohime was silent, but her face became more and more ugly.
And beside her, the Great Knight of the Sea, who always supported her, just gently handed his big hand over and placed it beside Princess Otohime.
"It's going to be fine."
One of Neptune's hands served as Princess Otohime's support, and the other hand clenched the giant trident.
Battle!
"It's going to be fine......"
The guards went out to intercept the pirates all over the island.
And the three princes of Dragon Palace City have already been fully armed and rushed to the place where the "malice" is the greatest-
Mermaid Beach!
【Drought】Jack, here!
……
There's no way around it.
The Hundred Beast Pirates are quite well prepared, and even the battleships are refitted, which greatly speeds up the underwater navigation.
Lindsay's previous sneak attack was also to destroy the battleship, thereby destroying the mobility of Jack and the others, but it still didn't have time.
The Hundred Beast Pirates left first and headed straight for Fish-Man Island!
Lindsay's arm turned into an alien and tore through the sea in her Basha form.
The rest of the people took the wounded on the scene, followed Lindsay, and ran wildly on the seabed.
Eventually, on the other side of Fish-Man Island.
[Demon] and his party broke through the bubble film and returned to Fish-Man Island in the next step!
“……”
Bang!
A small shadow punch knocked away a member of the Hundred Beast Pirates.
Lindsay shook his hand and felt the power of the Shadow Fruit completely dissipate, and couldn't help but exclaim.
"It's all said, your usage is wrong......"
Moria next to her spoke.
Under Margau's treatment, Moria was still weak, but her life was out of danger.
To be honest, even after witnessing everything, he didn't understand what was really going on.
It was just that he talked to the [Demon] and said that he would take revenge if he died, so the [Demon] "took" something from him.
It's part of the power of the Shadow Fruit!
It's just that compared to himself, the [Demon] obviously didn't grasp the essence of the Shadow Fruit, and it was used as a "waste".
But why is that?
Moria thought for a long time to no avail, so she simply diverted her attention.
What's going on now?
The Beast Pirates made trouble on Fish-Man Island, not only offended Whitebeard, but even attacked the BIG MOM Pirates!
Plus the [Demon] line.
In other words, this is the perfect time, and it is Moria's chance for revenge!
"Don't be stunned, let's get on it!"
Moria stood up and drew his usual broadsword, "I'm going to make the Beast Pirates look good!" ”
"Alright, my lord, Lord Moria!"
Perona raised her hands and said in a loud voice.
“……”
But apart from her, several people present obviously did not mean to agree.
Each of them has its own "problems" that need to be further thought about or solved.
……
Margao ignited a blue-blue flame and was treating the wounded.
Not only the guards of Ryugu Castle, but also the younger brother of the BIG MOM Pirates, also ignited it.
Seeing this scene, Katakuri didn't say much, but nodded slightly to express his gratitude.
"By the way, Kaido is really a bit too much this time......"
Marr raised his eyebrows, and he sensed more when he saw and heard the domineering.
There are pirates everywhere making trouble, and battles are breaking out everywhere!
"Kaido, is this trying to invade Fish-Man Island? He wants to grab land with his father? ”
“……”
Katakuri thought for a moment and said in a deep voice, "The face of the BIG MOM Pirates is very important, and my mother's dessert is even more important. ”
This shows his attitude.
At this point, only the most suspenseful [demon] remains.
Margao and Katakuri turned their heads at the same time, looking at Evan Lindsey on the side.
It was beyond the expectations of the two.
Lindsay was muttering to himself, but not analyzing the purpose of the Beast Pirates, but about himself.
"The power of awakening is more than that."
"It's just one side of the coin, there must be something else......"
The more Lindsay thought about it, the more distressed she became, and frowned:
"The essence of awakening is not just 'asking for power' from others, there must be something else!"
“……”
Seeing this, Margao and Katakuri shrugged at the same time.
Anyway, they didn't understand what he meant, so they just let him go.
"Whew!"
Suddenly, a piercing electric sound sounded, and the TV screen in Fish-Man Island was turned on at the same time.
The crowd turned their heads to look.
What appears on the screen is none other than [Drought] Jack at Mermaid Beach!
He had already defeated the three princes of the Dragon Palace Kingdom and captured them alive, imprisoned them with many civilians, guards, etc.
"Stop playing with the house, fishmen, and fight with all your might!"
Jack picked up the microphone, and the surging killing intent struck, overwhelming ordinary people at all!
His eyes widened and he was bloodshot.
"No one is immune, this is a prelude to war!"
……
Meanwhile.
In the ruins of ancient ruins in the distance, there was another person who opened his eyes with difficulty.
He—
Van der Dyken IX.
When the ruins exploded, Lindsay didn't bother him.
But he relied on the physical fitness of the fish-man, plus a few good luck, to survive the devastating explosion!
Even, when he was not submerged by the sea, he took a flute coral into his mouth.
Blow hard.
Drip ——!
The coral flute made a sound that spread through the water, summoning his pet, a swordfish.
The pet swordfish lifted Van der Dyken IX and carried him straight in the direction of Fish-Man Island!
"It's a catastrophe that doesn't die, hehehe......"
Van der Dyken IX twisted his body and grinned:
"Those guys, they tossed me so much!"
"Pain...... ...... to death."
"Whether it's humans or Fish-Man Island, you all wait for me!"
"You'll all have to pay the price!"
……
Van der Dyken IX - Fishman, superhuman target fruit ability.
