One Piece: Transform into the Eight Great Demons!

The cabin of the giant ship Noah.

Lindsay left, the influence of Barsha's form disappeared, and the seawater returned.

Here comes the end of the short-lived hustle and bustle, returning to the darkness and silence of the past.

Such an environment is suitable for the breeding and reproduction of small animals.

Therefore, shortly after Lindsay and others left, a black shadow poked its head out and looked around furtively.

"Hehehehe..."

He let out bursts of weird laughter, took weird steps, and waved behind him.

"Young boys, come out, those guys have left!"

"..."

Afterwards, several fishmen emerged one after another and gathered in the cabin, but they still looked frightened.

"It's scary...it's scary!"

"Did the Dragon Palace City guards outside also leave?"

"Why do people suddenly come to Noah's side?"

"Was that human just now? Why is the sea water separated?"

"..."

A group of pirates started talking, but they were stopped by the strangely smiling fish-man.

"Shut up, everyone!"

The fish-man wears a small hat, has curly hair and a beard, has many necklaces hanging on his body, and has four legs.

If King Neptune of Fish-Man Island was here, he might be able to recognize him at a glance.

That is a relatively niche "legend" even on Fish-Man Island.

…

His name is "Vander Deken IX", the captain of the Flying Pirates, the descendant of the first generation Vander Deken, and the broad-striped tiger shark man!

Although he claims to be subject to the "Target Curse", he is actually a Devil Fruit user who ate the "Target Fruit".

Due to the abilities gained from eating the Devil Fruit, he lost his ability to swim as a fishman.

Therefore, just like Margau, Vander Decken must also wear a layer of waterproof bubbles to protect himself when moving in the water.

As a wanted criminal, Vander Deken and his pirate group are undoubtedly illegal.

He robbed passing human ships and sneaked into the Fishman Island to cause trouble...

However, due to the super mobility of the fishmen in the water, the encirclement and suppression of the Ryugu Kingdom failed, which also made Nipton very distressed.

Now, they are entrenched in the giant ship Noah, using this place as a temporary foothold.

…

Time returns to the present.

This was going to be another peaceful day.

Due to the recent turmoil, there have been very few human ships coming to Fish-Man Island, and the entire Fish-Man Island has also become heavily guarded.

The fishmen of the Flying Pirates have nothing to do.

Suddenly, the lookout in charge noticed something unusual. A group of Dragon Palace Kingdom guards were rushing towards Noah quickly.

Vander Deken was shocked and quickly ordered his brothers to hide and prepare to escape at any time.

Unexpectedly, the Dragon Palace City guards did not go deep, but instead a group of humans entered Noah's cabin.

The situation of this group of humans is so "abnormal" that they can move freely underwater without even needing a bubble film!

Vander Deken ordered everyone not to act rashly until a few people left before he dared to show his head.

…

Looking at the traces of the battle between Lindsay and Margao, several fishmen boys all felt like they were surviving a disaster.

"Thankfully the captain let us hide..."

"What is going on with these humans?"

"No matter what, we are lucky this time!"

"..."

Everyone was talking about it, but someone suddenly noticed that the captain on the side was actually smiling.

"Hehehehe!"

Vander Deken IX looked very excited, making the surrounding murlocs confused for a moment.

"You guys don't realize the point at all."

Vander Deken turned around and laughed:

"This is our chance!"

"..."

"What?"

The fishmen crew members were puzzled.

"Idiot, I have asked you to observe more human affairs."

Vander Deken frowned and explained impatiently:

"Remember the rumors we heard before?"

"The world government on the human side is collecting so-called 'ancient creations', things like Noah."

"And the cause of all this is because of a human being——"

"Alvin Lindsay, nicknamed [Devil]!"

Vander Deken grinned and said with a sly smile:

"Whether it's the whereabouts of the [Devil] or the ancient creations of Fishman Island, it should be information that the world government wants very much."

"Why can't we use this opportunity to benefit from the world government?"

Vander Decken became more and more excited as he talked.

"Have you heard of that-"

"The 'legal pirates' in the human world are the Shichibukai!"

"According to recent rumors, it seems that the World Government is still looking for a suitable candidate to rule the Shichibukai."

"Why can't it be us?"

Vander Decken opened his arms and thought of a better future.

"Once we become the King's Shichibukai, not even Neptune can do anything to us. We will even become representatives of the fish-men tribe!"

"Hehehehe!"

"..."

Following Vander Deken's explanation, all the fish-men and pirates couldn't help but become excited.

They put their arms around each other and laughed.

"Hahahaha!"

"Hey hey hey hey..."

"..."

"a ha ha ha!"

Among them, there were two unfamiliar but relatively hearty smiles mixed in, which seemed extremely disharmonious.

"..."

"?!"

Uh-huh!

Before the fish-men and pirates could react, the surrounding seawater receded instantly and turned into a waterless and empty area again.

At the same time, he looked for the sound and found that two humans suddenly appeared behind Vander Deken.

They stood side by side, looking at Vander Daken IX from behind, and couldn't help laughing.

Lindsay grinned and said: "Do you want to become a Shichibukai? What a dream!"

Margao shook his head helplessly, "Mere 'intelligence' cannot satisfy human beings..."

Seeing, hearing, and being domineering is not just a display. They have already discovered the existence of Vander Deken and others.

It was only because of the high mobility of the murlocs that they might alert the enemy, so they pretended to leave.

"..."

And listening to the words of the two people behind him, Vander Deken was already breaking out in cold sweat.

He planned to make a last ditch effort to see if he could escape.

As soon as they turned their heads, Lindsay and Margao raised their legs at the same time and kicked Vander Deken in the side.

boom!

Vander Deken screamed, the waterproof coating on his body ruptured, and he flew sideways.

He crashed through Noah's hull and fell into the deep sea further away, completely disappearing.

"I thought he was a member of the Four Emperors, but I didn't expect him to be just an ordinary fish-man pirate."

Margao scratched his head and sighed casually.

After all, he was an ordinary little pirate, and since he had difficulty moving in the deep sea, Margao had no intention of confirming the other party's life or death.

On the other side, Crocodile also suddenly appeared, sweeping the surroundings with a sandstorm, sucking the fish-men and pirates into mummies.

But after solving all this, Crocodile did not relax much.

His eyes were gloomy and he turned to Robin and Uta beside him.

The state of these two little girls was obviously even worse.

Robin was trying his best to translate the ancient text, while Uta closed his eyes tightly, seeming to be communicating with Totemjika.

Not long after, the two little girls spoke at the same time, saying in unison:

"Ancient ruins!"

"There is a huge ancient ruin nearby!"

"..."

Hearing this, the three adults present immediately looked at each other.

Just exploring Noah was barely okay, but if they wanted to further explore the so-called "super huge ancient ruins", everyone was obviously in bad shape at this time.

From this, Crocodile suggested: "Go back to Fish-Man Island first and make a long-term plan."

Lindsay and Margao nodded.

More mysteries emerged, but the two of them felt a "feeling of powerlessness" and had no idea who to target.

And just when everyone was about to leave——

Wow!

Outside Noah, a giant Neptune-like creature approaches.

The exaggerated fish eyes peered into Noah's ship through the holes made by Vander Deken.

It happened to pass by Noah and was attracted by the movement inside.

Seeing this scene, Margao backed away slightly.

He actually wanted to see how the [Devil] Alvin Lindsay would respond to an attack by a giant Neptune.

But when Margao raised his eyes again, he found that Lindsay had taken the other three people and fled near the exit of the cabin.

Looking back at Margao, his eyes were slightly confused.

"Aren't you going to run away?"

"escape?"

Margao was slightly confused, never expecting that the extremely uncontrollable [Devil] would make such a rational judgment.

"Ha, it seems that the rumors from the outside may not be true."

Margao jumped up and followed Lindsay and others.

But he was still a little confused, so he asked: "By the way, don't you have the domineering aura of a king?"

Lindsay nodded calmly and said: "Not for the time being."

"I see."

Mal understood and sighed: "There's nothing we can do about it. After all, the natural thing like overlord color and domineering energy is... huh?"

As he spoke, he suddenly realized the abnormality of what Lindsay just said.

"What do you mean - not for the time being?"
