Chapter 220: Trouble in Fish-Man Island
This Mermaid Girl before him actually made such a request after regaining her freedom.
It was as if… a drowning person finally grabbed a straw. Even though they didn't know if it would work, seeing it and encountering it, they would desperately cling to it. This was her last hope.
At this moment.
Tears welled up in the Mermaid Girl's eyes as she looked at the man before her with hopeful anticipation, waiting for his answer.
Help Fish-Man Island?
Was there even a need to think about this question? Of course, the answer was yes.
That night.
At the Banquet.
Nicholas directly announced.
"Tomorrow morning, we will all depart for Fish-Man Island."
"Ah?"
Everyone at the Dining Table was taken aback, including the Mermaid named Lisa and her Younger Sister.
Only Simon remained Calm, having been mentally prepared for this.
However, Nicholas's decision for the entire crew to go to Fish-Man Island still puzzled Simon.
In Simon's view, Fish-Man Island could be easily resolved by just sending Vistad and him.
"Captain? Are we all going?"
Vistad, clutching a huge piece of Grilled Meat, looked at Nicholas in the main seat with confusion.
The others also looked at Nicholas with puzzled expressions.
They didn't understand what was so important about Fish-Man Island that would make Nicholas deploy the entire crew.
Even Stella, who was beside him, was somewhat confused. During her time in White Dance, she had gained some understanding of Nicholas and his Force. It was precisely because of this understanding that she knew what it meant for the entire Freedom Pirates to mobilize.
Nicholas, while cutting Steak for Bell-lin, casually said, "How should I put it? I am Godfather to Neptune's daughter. Now that they are in Trouble, isn't it Normal for me to Help?"
"!!!"
Hearing the Reason Nicholas gave, everyone was dumbfounded.
Lisa also weakly said, "Lord Nicholas, King Neptune only has three princes, not a Princess."
Looking at the Mermaid Girl who was calling him out, Nicholas's Corner of Mouth twitched, and he said helplessly:
"If there isn't one, then have one born. If one can't be born, I'll personally go and destroy Fish-Man Island!"
"."
Seeing that Nicholas didn't seem to be joking, both Mermaid Girls trembled.
Looking at the two somewhat frightened Mermaids, Nicholas smiled and said, "Hahaha, I'm joking, I'm not such a violent Person."
"..."
Lisa was speechless. Your Look just now didn't seem like a Joke at all.
"What about Kaido and Kozuki Oden? If they know our Main Force is leaving, will they attack White Dance?"
Vistad asked.
"Dare they! I don't care about their battles, but if they dare to cut off my Back Road while I'm away, I'll come back and scatter their Ashes!"
A week later.
Ten Thousand Meters Below the Seabed.
Fish-Man Island, enveloped in a giant Bubble Coat, hung quietly above the Seabed.
Sunlight, transmitted through the Tree Root of Sun Tree Eve, allowed Fish-Man Island, located in the Deep Sea, to receive this Light of Life.
However, no matter how Warmth the Sunlight was, it could not dispel the Gloom that shrouded the entire Fish-Man Island.
It could be said that during this period, life was quite difficult for both the Fishman in Fish-Man District and the Mermaids in Dragon Palace City. Some Residents in more remote areas of Fish-Man Island didn't even dare to go out.
Since Roger became the Pirate King, Pirates had been pouring into Fish-Man Island like madmen from all directions.
In addition, Fish-Man Island lacked Top-Tier Powerhouse to guard it, and the number of Pirates arriving at Fish-Man Island was too large. As a result, the Checkpoint set up at the Entrance of Fish-Man Island completely lost its Significance. After being breached head-on by Pirates three times, it was never rebuilt.
The Military Strength of Fish-Man Island could barely hold Dragon Palace City against the constant influx of Pirates.
The loss of the Gate to Fish-Man Island made it easier for more and more Pirates to enter. Without the Checkpoint, they no longer needed to take riskier illegal entry methods to safely enter Fish-Man Island.
The large-scale invasion of Pirates and the strain on the Fish-Man Island Kingdom's Military Strength caused many Towns and Streets of Fish-Man Island to become chaotic, which also attracted a large number of Slave Hunting Teams.
To escape the pursuit of Slave Hunting Party and Pirates, a large number of Mermaids hid in the deepest parts of Coral Apartments.
However, in the face of Profit, people were crazy. Almost every day, many Mermaid Girls suffered… As for their destination, it was self-evident.
Fish-Man Island, Dragon Palace City.
This was where the Fish-Man Island Royal Family was located.
Situated on the top floor of Fish-Man Island, which could enjoy the best Sunlight, it was a large and luxurious Palace built and decorated with large Coral Reefs and various other Seabed Materials. At the very top, a majestic Giant Dragon was coiled.
At this moment, inside the Palace.
The King of Fish-Man Island, wearing a Crown and holding a Trident, the Sea's Great Knight Neptune, whose Body Size was even more robust than the strongest Tiger Shark Fish-Man, sat on the Throne.
At this moment, he had a worried Look on his Face. Obviously, the predicament Fish-Man Island was facing was causing him great Distress.
Below the Throne.
Standing was a Catfish Fish-man wearing a Top Hat, a Monocle on his left eye, and holding an Ox-Horn Cane in his Right Hand.
This was the Left Minister of Dragon Palace City.
"King Neptune… Coral Hill, Gyoncorde Plaza, and Water Wheel Town in the southeast port Town have been occupied by a large number of Pirates, and a large number of Pirates have also gathered Outside Dragon Palace City."
"Although we have repelled the enemy's attacks several times, we have suffered heavy losses. If this continues, what should we do?"
The Left Minister lowered his head, his Face full of grief. Obviously, the current Situation of Fish-Man Island made his heart ache.
To the right of the Left Minister stood a Seahorse Fish-man holding a Crescent Moon Longsword. He was the Right Minister of Dragon Palace City.
At this time, his Arm was wrapped in Bandage, and his head was also simply bandaged. It could be seen that the Right Minister had suffered a lot of Injury recently.
"King Neptune, with our current Situation, we can still defend Dragon Palace City for a month."
"A month…"
Neptune frowned and sighed, "But what about after a month?"
Saying so, Neptune clenched his fists and said in a deep voice, "In the end, we are still too weak. If Fish-Man Island had Strongest like Whitebeard and Roger…"
Just then, a Guard hurried into the Palace and came under the Throne.
Everyone in the Palace, including Neptune, looked at the Guard.
The Guard had a heavy Complexion and looked up at Neptune on the Throne.
"King Neptune, just now, the Informant deployed at the Corridor Entrance saw the Banner of the BIGMOM Pirates…!"
"What!?"
Hearing this, Neptune's Complexion changed drastically. If other Pirates were just Sharks that smelled blood and gathered to get a share of the Fat Meat that was Fish-Man Island, then the BIGMOM Pirates were undoubtedly Terror Beast that could swallow Fish-Man Island in one bite.
The Ministers in the Palace also had drastic changes in their expressions upon hearing this News.
Veins popped out on Neptune's forehead.
"Damn it…"
Neptune slammed his Fist on the armrest of the Throne and gritted his teeth, "Does everyone think my Fish-Man Island is easy to bully?"
Hearing this, both the Left Minister and the Right Minister were silent. For Humans, Fish-Man Island was indeed easy to bully. If it weren't for the fact that Fish-Man Island was located in the Deep Sea and not suitable for Humans to live in for a long time, Fish-Man Island would have been renamed long ago.
