Pirate, I am the demon fox that brings disaster to the world!

"You? For the peace of Fishman Island?"

After hearing what Yakumo Bai said, Rayleigh immediately became deeply suspicious. From what he knew, this guy in front of him was an unstable element who would cause major incidents wherever he went.

Allowing arms to spread across the sea has already caused many deaths. As for the fishmen?

Hmm... it might not be impossible. After all, it was he who triggered the slave rebellion in Mary Geoise. Although until now, the identity of the mastermind has not been exposed.

However! If the other party had no other intentions, would he really be so kind as to help the slaves and fishmen?

Rayleigh naturally didn't believe it. The facts had clearly shown that Yakumo Bai was a dangerous person with deep thoughts, and the sudden turmoil in the underground world was the most sufficient proof!

"You know, Mr. Rayleigh, Tiger was a like-minded partner at the time, and he even helped me take the blame for the crime.

Now the hero is gone, but the Fishman Island he cared about is in danger, how can I just stand by and watch? "

Pulling the angry Hancock back to sit down, Yakumo Shiro continued,

"Even pirates need friends and allies. Compared to the treacherous pirates who may stab you in the back at any time, aren't the fishmen who are in a weak position but have considerable strength a good ally?

Giving timely assistance is better than icing on the cake, I still think this investment is reasonable~"

"Well……"

Upon hearing this, Rayleigh fell silent. He had to admit that the other party's words did make sense and were in line with the other party's style. However, his identity meant that he could not directly help Fishman Island. Even if he eliminated a part of the slave-hunting team, it would be a drop in the bucket.

Compared with the desires of those guys, such obstruction may even further stimulate their ferocity at all costs!

"No matter what your purpose is, I will keep a close eye on your next move!"

After taking a deep look at Yakumo Bai, Rayleigh cast an apologetic look at Xia Qi and said,

“Let’s go, kid, we need to coat the boat before going to Fishman Island, right?

Of course, the premise is that you still trust what I say."

“(′?_?`)”

"As expected of Pluto Rayleigh, he has a broad mind. Don't worry, at least I can trust the character of the Pirate King's deputy."

Although his Tamamo no longer needed the outdated technology of coating, in order to take care of the feelings of his "senior", Yakumo Shiro still said considerately,

"Well, see you next time, Sister Xia Qi. I hope our next reunion can last longer~"

"Well...I wish you all the best."

Hearing this, Xia Qi immediately put away her complicated expression and spoke in her usual relaxed tone.

Yakumo Shiro, the little lover of his junior, and Rayleigh, an old guy with whom he has some past, have inevitable conflicts because of the things in Wano Country, but, so what?

Having retired for nearly forty years, this mature proprietress has long seen through this. Let men solve their own problems, and as for her, as long as she deals with them according to her true heart, that is in the best conformity with the freedom of a pirate.

As time goes by, I am no longer the innocent little girl I once was...

"Hey~ Bai, can I petrify this old guy?"

Hancock's deliberately low whisper rang out in the small bar without any hindrance, showing the simplest love and hate. Rayleigh, who was about to turn around and leave, stumbled, and Xia Qi couldn't help but stroke her cheek and sigh with a bitter smile.

Well, there are still people who are little girls, just like me back then, beautiful but easily hurt.

However, the other person is much luckier than herself, because she met the love that truly belongs to her.

"Okay, but not now. At least we have to wait until this matter is over..."

----------

At the same time, on Fishman Island, far below the sea ten thousand meters below.

If the death of Princess Otohime due to assassination was the internal strife of this island, then the slave-hunting teams that attacked in large numbers were a deadly external threat!

The situation of being trapped both internally and externally was so severe that King Neptune did not have time to recover from his grief. He was already deeply shocked and worried by the unprecedented madness before his eyes.

Although far away in the deep sea, the fighting power of the merfolk had been expanded before this, and being in the ocean allowed the race's talents to be fully utilized. In addition, they had the help of sea beasts and sea kings, but slave-hunting teams driven by greed still arrived wave after wave and launched attacks continuously.

This scene made King Neptune even wonder if he had returned to 200 years ago when Fishman Island had not yet joined the World Government.

In name, Fishman Island is a member of the World Government. Although apart from surveillance, it can be said that it is not loved by anyone, and even the request for support at this time has fallen on deaf ears under the forced orders of the Celestial Dragons.

They wished that Fishman Island would be destroyed so that they could have an endless supply of rare slaves.

On the other hand, the flag of the Whitebeard Pirates is still standing on the island!

Even if the World Government doesn't care, or even condones it, aren't these desperate guys afraid of the revenge of the Whitebeard Pirates? !

Invading Whitebeard's territory is disrespectful to Whitebeard, and everyone knows what Whitebeard's sons will do for this!

This may be the only thing that makes King Neptune feel relieved now, because in accordance with the original agreement, the Whitebeard Pirates are sending captain-level combat forces to support them, but that will take time.

The slave traders, however, concentrated their efforts and risked everything in order to capture as much as possible as quickly as possible! Then, they escaped before the Whitebeard Pirates arrived!

"Damn it! What a bunch of crazy humans! They clearly know the difference between the superior and the inferior, but they still attack without caring about their lives!

What do they regard the Queen Mother’s hopes as!

Is everything that the Queen Mother has done for peace so far going to go to waste?"

Prince Shark Star of Fishman Island said this with resentment that could not be concealed, and at the same time, similar emotions were spreading in the hearts of the soldiers. After Princess Otohime was assassinated and killed, there was an endless stream of slave-hunting teams attacking them, and negative emotions were filling everyone's hearts.

Almost overnight, Fishman Island's rejection of humans reached an unprecedented level, which seriously deviated from Princess Otohime's wishes, but at the same time conformed to the ambitions of certain people.

For example, Hodie Jones, the guy who actually assassinated Otohime and pinned the blame on human pirates, was more excited than ever before.

The timing is perfect!

These humans arrived at the perfect time!

It is precisely at this time that I can push the fishmen's disgust and hatred towards humans to a new height!

Hodi always believed that if the entire merman race united as one and faced the outside world together, then a lowly race like humans would not be worth mentioning at all!

Slaves? After completely destroying this group of assists that came to his doorstep, he only needed to obtain the "secret medicine" from the palace to lead the reborn fishmen to launch a counterattack on the ground!

In this sea! The fishmen are the only kings!

"Prince Shark Star! Please give the order! Let's kill all those humans! To avenge Lady Otohime!"
