Chapter 279: The Tragedy of Fish-Man Island

"What a miserable death..."

"Tsk tsk, so Fish-Man Island isn't some earthly paradise after all. Conflicts break out between these fish-men and merfolk too, and when they start fighting, it feels even more ruthless than us humans!"

Far from the execution platform, a group of women began to discuss with great interest. As for the merfolk tied to the execution platform—what did that have to do with them?

Even Vivi, who had the kindest heart, did not have many thoughts about the scene before her after being transformed by Uchiha Feiyu; at most, she just turned her eyes away to avoid looking.

The shrill screams and the cheers of the fish-men drifted over, and the entire Fish-Man Island was permeated with a frantic and cold aura. After more than ten minutes, it finally subsided. Only faint sobbing remained.

It was just that the tall merfolk on the execution platform had all turned into corpses. Judging from their bodies, which were almost picked clean to the bone, they must have suffered quite a bit while dying.

And at the edge of the execution platform, a huge pink mermaid, with her hands tied and her mouth gagged, was sobbing in pain. Uchiha Feiyu took a look at that beautiful large mermaid; this should be the Mermaid Princess of this generation, and also Poseidon among the three ancient weapons.

"Does Master have his eye on this mermaid? Do you want me to capture her for you?"

Hancock leaned over to Uchiha Feiyu's side and said with a grin. Uchiha Feiyu patted her ample bosom and nodded:

"This Mermaid Princess is indeed quite useful. Hmm, perhaps we should let her be the king of Fish-Man Island when the time comes."

"I understand! Master, just watch us perform!"

Hancock nodded excitedly and glanced at the little sisters behind her:

"Prepare to move!"

On the execution platform, having just killed Neptune and several princes, Hody Jones's face was full of smiles.

As a great white shark fish-man, Hody Jones's own physical talent was quite good, but having hung around a place like Fish-Man District, it hadn't been developed much.

Although he later joined the Dragon Palace guard, at that time this guy's mind was set on the Tamatebako, and he likewise hadn't learned skills like Fish-Man Karate.

Therefore, Hody Jones's own strength was mediocre; even in a place like Fish-Man Island, he couldn't be called rampant.

So even though Hody Jones had always thought about overthrowing the rule of Dragon Palace and taking revenge or even destroying humans, he had never found a good opportunity.

It wasn't until this time, when Uchiha Feiyu's Magic Thought entered his body, making all fish-men become evil and extreme, and gaining the support of so many fish-men, that he was able to overthrow Dragon Palace in one fell swoop.

"Then next, it is revenge against humans... Hehehe, this Princess Shirahoshi should be a very useful pawn!"

The original Hody Jones didn't know about Princess Shirahoshi's ability, but in this attack, Shirahoshi did display the power to manipulate Sea Kings, and a huge Sea King directly tore Hody Jones's ally, Vander Decken IX, into pieces.

It was fortunate that Hody Jones reacted quickly, knocked Shirahoshi unconscious, and then kept her mouth gagged so she couldn't make a sound, only allowing her to sob softly, which prevented her from attracting more Sea Kings.

"Must think of a way to control this Princess Shirahoshi... These merfolk on Fish-Man Island are very good hostages..."

Hody Jones was still thinking when he suddenly paused, seeing a group of women walking from afar.

It wasn't that there were no humans on the underwater Fish-Man Island. As a necessary stop on the way to the New World, although the number of humans coming to Fish-Man Island wasn't large, it couldn't be considered very rare either.

It was just that when the fish-men rioted, those humans had long since been killed. So what was going on with this group of women appearing now?

However, after thinking for only a moment, Hody Jones gave up on thinking, a ferocious smile appeared on his face, and he waved his large hand:

"Compatriots, more humans have come to our Fish-Man Island! Give them a taste of our power!"

Countless fish-men turned their heads to look at Hancock and her group walking over slowly. If ordinary people were stared at by the eyes of so many fierce and wicked people, they would be guaranteed to be scared until their legs went soft and they trembled, but for Hancock's group, the fish-men before them were no different from salted fish or dried minnows.

"It's humans!"

"Finish them off! Kill all humans, the world belongs to the fish-men!"

"Charge!"

A group of fish-men swarmed over, wanting to take action. Hancock raised her head and looked at this group of fish-men with disdain, waving her hand lightly, and the group of female warriors under her command rushed out instantly.

A group of fish-men who didn't even know Haki, facing dozens of Amazon female warriors with at least the strength of a Navy Headquarters Rear Admiral, the result was naturally self-evident.

One could see that the warriors of Amazon Lily had pitch-black Haki wrapped around their bodies. They took out the Snake Bows from their bodies and shot down over a dozen fish-men with a casual arrow. The speed at which the arrows were fired was simply much faster than a machine gun. Accompanied by bursts of screams, the fish-men who rushed over instantly lay in a fan-shaped area of over a thousand meters.

Screams, wails, groans, roars... the entire plaza was suddenly in chaos. The fish-men in front turned their heads and wanted to flee, but the fish-men in the back couldn't see the tragic situation in front and squeezed forward desperately, so much so that a large number of fish-men began to trample each other.

Although the female warriors of Amazon Lily were powerful and skilled in archery, the arrows they carried were limited. At their speed, they had finished shooting all their quivers of arrows in less than a minute, killing a few thousand people in total, yet the casualties from these fish-men trampling each other were probably in the tens of thousands.

"Damn it! Damned humans!"

Hody Jones, standing on the execution platform, had a look of hatred on his face. He took out a Tamatebako, opened it, and took out several pills from inside, stuffing them into his mouth.

A moment later, the muscles of this great white shark fish-man instantly expanded, his eyes were blood-red, his hair turned white, and his aura was strengthened several times over.

He leaped up from the execution platform and slammed into the ground with a boom. The huge force even directly pulverized the surrounding fish-man corpses.

Strange to say, after the original fish-men died, their corpses quickly shriveled up, as if they were dried corpse mummies that had been released for thousands of years. With Hody Jones's smash, the corpses around him exploded directly into powder, permeating the surrounding tens of meters like smoke.

"Inferior humans, now let you see the power of the fish-men..."

"Wild Lightning!"

Nami, standing beside Hancock, felt a bit harsh to the ears as soon as she heard Hody Jones's voice. Coupled with her bad impression of fish-men, she flicked her finger without hesitation.

Her slender, fair, and tender finger turned into leaping lightning under a light flick. The tiny electric snakes grew thicker and larger after leaving Nami's finger, finally turning into a wild lightning dragon that rushed into the smoke.

"Ugh ah ah ah ah ah ah!"

Amidst the shrill screams, a scent of grilled fish drifted over. A moment later, the smoke dissipated, and only Hody Jones, who looked like charred charcoal, remained on the ground.

The Energy Steroid in the Tamatebako might be able to bring Hody Jones powerful strength, but it still couldn't change the essence of his mortal body. Facing Nami's lightning, he was naturally powerless to resist.

"What to do? Even Boss Hody Jones has been finished off!"

"What are you afraid of? They only have a few dozen people. Everyone swarm them together; I don't believe they can kill our hundreds of thousands of fish-men!"

"Not bad! Fight them to the death! Humans are all no good!"

A cold smile appeared on the corner of Nami's mouth, and she said coldly:

"I really didn't expect it. Originally, I still had a little guilt about ruling this Fish-Man Island; after all, we were the ones who came to look for trouble. I didn't expect that your actions would easily dispel my sense of guilt. Fish-men as a species really shouldn't exist!"

Following Nami's voice, bright electric light also wrapped around her body. In the sky of Dragon Palace, which had never changed, a large number of dark clouds even appeared, and tiny electric snakes shuttled back and forth in the clouds.

"Calm down a little, Nami."

Hancock, with pitch-black Haki wrapped around her hands, patted Nami on the shoulder as she was discharging electricity:

"I still want to train the warriors under my command. If you make a move, these fish-men will probably all be dead!"

Hearing Hancock's words, Nami was slightly stunned, and only then did she withdraw the electric light wrapped around her body. The dark clouds in the sky also immediately dissipated completely, and the fish-men, who had just been terrified by this abnormal celestial phenomenon, finally breathed a slight sigh of relief.

It was just that their sigh of relief had come too early; Hancock merely waved her hand lightly, and the Amazon warriors standing behind her all charged out, heading straight for the Fish-Men.

Do not underestimate the Fish-Men, who are touted as possessing ten times the arm strength of humans, with some powerful races of Fish-Men even far exceeding that value, but compared to the warriors of Nine Snake Island, this group of Fish-Men was still a far cry in terms of strength.

Nine Snake Island is able to maintain its footing in the Calm Belt because its average strength is absolutely far superior to that of the Fish-Men; at most, they are only slightly inferior in terms of numbers.

Not to mention that these warriors of Nine Snake Island had all been strengthened by a wave from Uchiha Feiyu, with their average strength nearly approaching that of a Marine Vice Admiral; how could ordinary Fish-Men possibly fight them?

Almost the instant the two sides made contact, it was like a hot knife through butter, or a fierce tiger entering a flock of sheep; the poor Fish-Men were completely powerless to resist, being beaten into fish-meat patties by the punches and kicks of those female warriors, and many Fish-Men were sent flying into the sky, only to fall in freefall and crush several of their own companions to death.

Fresh blood sprayed out instantly, permeating the entire Dragon Palace square, but these bloodstains seemed to be guided by something, disappearing without a trace after existing in the air for only a moment, and the killed Fish-Men also turned into Dried Corpses in a short time, finally crumbling into dust.

"Arghhhhh!"

"Stop them, stop them!"

"They are just a few women! Ugh!"

"Why are they so strong?! Why are these women so strong?!! Aren't Fish-Men the strongest race?"

Screams, wails, and cries of grief soon filled the square; if not for the fact that Uchiha Feiyu's inner demons were constantly at work, these Fish-Men would likely have been unable to bear such a terrifying disparity in strength under this cruel slaughter long ago.

Especially since these women were nearly invulnerable to blades and spears; even without using Haki, ordinary swords could not break their skin at all, and ordinary Fish-Men could only feel endless despair in the face of this.

Combat has always been this way: one does not fear that the opponent's lethality is high, but rather that one's own attacks cannot break the opponent's defense at all; when one cannot even see the health bar, what is the point of so-called encirclement?

Minds collapsing, faith crumbling, wanting to flee in fear, only to have the ferocity in their hearts ignited by the power of the inner demons, and then charging back up again...

Under the continuous tug-of-war between inner demons and fear, many Fish-Men eventually had blood-red eyes, foam at the corners of their mouths, and made wheezing sounds, charging up like madmen, only to be killed like weeds.

However, the number of Fish-Men was ultimately too high; some Fish-Men, seeing that these Amazon Lily warriors were so terrifying, set their sights on Hancock's group and charged straight over, and even though these female warriors tried their best to intercept them, some Fish-Men eventually slipped through.

Then, those Fish-Men who were lucky enough to break through the blockade were electrocuted into charcoal one by one by Nami.

"There is no need for anyone else to step in! It seems that the Amazon Lily warriors alone are enough to slaughter this group of Fish-Men; at most, it will just take a little more time."

Floating in mid-air, Uchiha Feiyu looked at the battlefield below and soon reached his conclusion; he then shook his head, as the strength of Fish-Man Island clearly could not allow his women to perform properly, and could not even force out half of their strength.

"Forget it, I have to go to the New World anyway, there is plenty of time to train these women; for now, let's take a look at my harvest!"

A blood-colored light descended upon the execution platform; at this moment, Fish-Man Island was in chaos, and no one was paying attention to the execution platform, so Uchiha Feiyu did not encounter any blind Fish-Men blocking his way.

"Tsk tsk tsk, they died quite miserably! The kings of the One Piece World are either stupid or evil; there is no such thing as a truly wise and martial ruler."

After taking a glance at the few fish bones that had been picked clean, Uchiha Feiyu sighed with sarcasm—in reality, if he had not unleashed a large number of inner demons onto Fish-Man Island, this powder keg of an island would certainly not have erupted like this; it could be said that Uchiha Feiyu was the original culprit.

A soft sobbing sound rang in his ears; Uchiha Feiyu turned his head, saw the giant pink mermaid at the edge of the execution platform, and walked over while rubbing his chin.

With a wave of his hand, the ropes on the mermaid fell off, and then he pulled the white cloth out of her mouth; immediately, the original sobbing turned into a sound of bitter crying.

"You must be the Princess of this Fish-Man Island, so that means the people who died must be your father and brother."

Although Uchiha Feiyu already had the answer in his heart, he still asked with great interest while rubbing his chin.
