Chapter 280: The Idea of Exterminating the Fish-Men
"Sob, sob, sob... Yes, Father, Brother... Why did it turn out like this? Sob, sob, sob! Don't leave Shirahoshi all alone!"
Poor Princess Shirahoshi cried until her face was streaked with tears, dragging her tail as she moved before the corpses of her father and brother, her tears flowing uncontrollably.
However, Uchiha Feiyu had no sympathy; instead, he activated his Heavenly Demon Secret without hesitation, his eyes gleaming with a ghostly light as he asked with a smile:
"Your name is Shirahoshi, right! Do you hate these Fish-Men? It was these Fish-Men who killed your father and brother!"
Princess Shirahoshi, who had been timid and weeping, felt a nameless fire burning fiercely in her heart at this moment. She opened her tear-filled eyes, and her originally innocent and pure gaze was completely twisted, containing endless hatred:
"I hate the Fish-Men! I want to kill every single one of them!!"
"Not bad! Now that's a bit of the aura of Poseidon!"
Uchiha Feiyu clapped his hands. The original Princess Shirahoshi was a pure, naive girl; although she possessed the terrifying power to destroy the world, her actual threat was less than that of a cat.
But the current Princess Shirahoshi was the only one who could truly live up to the title of Poseidon—possessing the nuclear button isn't scary; the person with the guts to press it is the one who truly inspires fear!
Why has the World Government been able to rule the entire world for 800 years? It is because they not only have super-weapons, but they have never been stingy about using them!
"Alright, enough talk for now. Let's see how that group of Fish-Men down there actually died!"
With his arms crossed, Uchiha Feiyu leaped up, jumped onto Shirahoshi's shoulder, and then sat there to watch the battle below.
The game of mowing down enemies lasted for nearly an hour, and the hundreds of thousands of Fish-Men suffered heavy casualties. In the end, Nami, who had grown impatient, used a single lightning strike to knock down all the remaining Fish-Men.
By the end, those Fish-Men, whether they were already dead or just severely injured and unconscious, had all turned into Dried Corpses, which saved the trouble of cleaning up the battlefield.
Uchiha Feiyu had harvested a large wave of leeks this time. The Qi and Blood of ordinary humans in the One Piece World was no worse than that of a Genin in the Ninja World, and as for the Qi and Blood within the Fish-Men, it was at least equivalent to a Chunin of the Ninja World, or even exceeded it slightly.
Although they were slightly inferior to humans in terms of Soul power, overall it was definitely much more profitable than harvesting ordinary people.
Having absorbed so many resources, Uchiha Feiyu's Heavenly Demon Secret had reached the Great Completion stage, and his Soul had transformed into a true Heavenly Demon. Conversely, although the Blood Scripture had abundant resources, it was still a bit away from complete Great Completion due to his insufficient realm.
Reflected in this clone of his, it meant that he could shuttle back and forth between the virtual and the real, and even possessed a certain ability for spatial jumping.
The rebellion on Fish-Man Island lasted for less than a day, but in that time, 300,000 Fish-Men had already died.
The vast majority of the Fish-Men were killed by those women when Uchiha Feiyu and his group intervened, and because of this, the entire Fish-Man Island felt both fear and disgust toward Hancock and the others.
After all... on Fish-Man Island, Fish-Men occupied the largest numbers. Out of the island's total population of about 5 million, at least 3 million were Fish-Men, while the Merfolk race only accounted for 1/3, about 1.5 million or so.
Moreover, it wasn't as if the Merfolk and Fish-Men didn't intermarry; the two sides could be said to have each other within themselves. In such an island society, what was the concept of killing 300,000 people?
It could be said that every living Fish-Man now had relatives who died in this war, and even among the Merfolk, at least a small half had lost loved ones. Under these circumstances, the residents of Fish-Man Island certainly wouldn't give them any good looks.
In contrast, Princess Shirahoshi, the original naive girl, had now ascended to become the Queen of Fish-Man Island, and had also become Uchiha Feiyu's loyal dog.
Although this princess was huge in size, Uchiha Feiyu, who possessed the Momo-Momo Fruit, could also make his own body become a Giant. As for the issue of the tail, not to mention the cherry-red lips above, and the fact that the Fish-Man mode had its own unique flavor, Uchiha Feiyu's current research on the Blood Scripture alone could allow Princess Shirahoshi, this mermaid, to grow legs.
Female Fish-Men grow legs after the age of 30, which shows that these mermaids themselves possess the ability to turn their tails into legs. This was much easier than simply modifying a mermaid. Uchiha Feiyu researched it a little, and let this Princess Shirahoshi possess the skills of a 30-year-old mermaid as well.
After that, it went without saying. The Great Completion level Heavenly Demon Secret, the Dual Cultivation Secret Technique, plus the sudden great change on Fish-Man Island, where Shirahoshi watched with her own eyes as her father and brothers were tortured to death, all made this Mermaid Princess completely dependent on Uchiha Feiyu.
In the early morning, the light of the Sun Tree Eve shone once again over the entire Dragon Palace.
In the most central and luxurious palace of the Dragon Palace, Uchiha Feiyu stretched, pushed aside the few mermaids beside him, and slowly climbed up from the fair, smooth, and warm large bed.
Beside the large bed, there was a huge and soft jelly-like body pillow. Uchiha Feiyu tapped it lightly, and the jelly pillow wobbled several times, with a bright red palm print appearing on it.
"Wuu... Mr. Feiyu, you hurt me."
A pleasant and melodious whisper came from above his head. Uchiha Feiyu looked up and saw Princess Shirahoshi, with tears in the corners of her eyes, looking at him pitifully.
"Cut the crap. It was agreed that you would be a Shirahoshi-brand soft bed from now on. So what if I patted the pillow twice?"
Uchiha Feiyu not only didn't restrain himself, but patted the soft pillow twice more, making Shirahoshi pout in grievance.
During this period, Uchiha Feiyu had truly tasted the flavor of mermaids. As long as the mermaids of the Dragon Palace weren't old, their looks were never lower than an eight, and generally hovered around a nine.
By comparison, although Amazon Lily was known as the Island of Women, its beauty was uneven, and it was far inferior to the Dragon Palace.
For a hidden lecher like Uchiha Feiyu, this place was simply a paradise. Even though he had been changing to new ones every day for a grand meeting during this time, and had enjoyed hundreds of mermaids, it was only a drop in the ocean for Fish-Man Island.
"Wuu, I know, Mr. Feiyu..."
Princess Shirahoshi still spoke in that pitiful tone, but Uchiha Feiyu knew very well that after this princess's body had been strengthened and undergone Dual Cultivation, she looked very weak, and even a single pat could leave a red mark, but her actual strength was almost comparable to that freak Charlotte Linlin. He definitely hadn't hurt her.
It was just that this princess was deliberately trying to please him, which was why she adopted this posture.
As the legendary Poseidon, Uchiha Feiyu had originally thought that Princess Shirahoshi only possessed the ability to command Sea Kings, but it wasn't until he strengthened this princess's body that he discovered what powerful potential this King of Sea Kings possessed within her.
Think about it carefully and it becomes clear: until now, among these ordinary races, those with outstanding physiques basically never had poor talent. Kaido, Charlotte Linlin, and Whitebeard were all of this type.
Princess Shirahoshi only appeared weak because she had never exercised since she was a child, coupled with her own personality. However, in reality, if she had truly started training from a young age, she would definitely have been able to display the demeanor of a top-tier powerhouse.
It can only be said that the Dragon Palace completely ruined this Princess Shirahoshi. Otherwise, with this princess's talent, which was not inferior to Charlotte Linlin's, plus the power to control Sea Kings, Fish-Man Island could have completely become a powerful force capable of contending with the Pirates and the Marine.
As Uchiha Feiyu drew out Princess Shirahoshi's potential, in terms of physical strength alone, this huge mermaid was no less than Charlotte Linlin. That is to say, in terms of Three-Color Haki, because she had only just started training, she was a little worse than Charlotte Linlin, but in other aspects, she was truly not inferior to this Pirate Four Emperor.
Uchiha Feiyu stood up, and some mermaids came over to take away their unconscious companions, while also serving Uchiha Feiyu as he dressed. Once he was fully dressed, Uchiha Feiyu looked at the cleaned-up Princess Shirahoshi and asked with a smile:
"We can pretty much execute the plan today, little Shirahoshi."
Hearing this, Princess Shirahoshi's face showed a flush, her expression was excited, and her eyes were filled with twisted hatred:
"Of course, I've long since been unable to stand those damn Fish-Men! With your help, Mr. Feiyu, my Mermaid Legion can completely kill all the trash on this Fish-Man Island—no, from now on, Fish-Man Island should be called Mermaid Island. Things like Fish-Men shouldn't exist in the world at all!"
"Be careful that those Fish-Men don't jump over the wall in desperation and flee directly into the sea. It might be hard to hunt them down then."
"Rest assured, Mr. Feiyu, I have already had the Sea Kings surround the entire Fish-Man Island. If any Fish-Men run away, they will only become food for the Sea Kings!"
A cruel smile flashed across Princess Shirahoshi's face—having experienced the tragedy of her father, brothers, and her own pet being tortured to death by being sliced into a thousand pieces right before her eyes, and then having her inner demons drawn out by Uchiha Feiyu, this Mermaid Princess had long since completely blackened, and only maintained her naive appearance in front of Uchiha Feiyu.
In fact, the plan to kill all the Fish-Men on Fish-Man Island was formulated by Princess Shirahoshi herself. According to this princess, all Fish-Men were damned beasts, and the Dragon Palace only needed to keep the Merfolk!
It must be said that the more gentle and innocent someone looks, the more terrifying they are after blackening. Even after experiencing this war, the Dragon Palace still had nearly 3 million Fish-Men, and having formulated such a massacre plan, this Princess Shirahoshi didn't even blink, which was enough to make a cold-blooded demon like Uchiha Feiyu look at her with admiration.
During this time, Princess Shirahoshi brought in a large number of mermaids to serve Uchiha Feiyu, also to create a batch of powerful combatants. Through Uchiha Feiyu's strengthening, these few hundred mermaids alone were enough to kill all the Fish-Men.
The smile on her face and the cold light in her eyes gradually receded, and Shirahoshi returned to being the original naive, cute girl, looking as if there was no difference from before.
Walking out of the Dragon Palace, the current Fish-Man Island was very lively—the rebellion had finally been completely cleared up during this time, and Princess Shirahoshi was preparing to hold a banquet, firstly to celebrate the suppression of the rebellion, and secondly to inherit the throne.
At this moment, the Dragon Palace square no longer showed signs of the great battle that had taken place over a month ago. The square was filled with tables, chairs, and all kinds of delicacies, and the Fish-Men and Merfolk from all over Fish-Man Island were sitting there honestly.
Seeing Princess Shirahoshi walk out, those Fish-Men and Merfolk immediately burst into cheers, as if the battle from a month ago had never existed at all.
Looking down at the Fish-Man Island residents below, a trace of disgust flashed through Princess Shirahoshi's eyes, yet the expression on her face did not change in the slightest:
"Citizens of Fish-Man Island, we previously experienced a massive disaster, but through everyone's collective efforts..."
A casual speech drew waves of cheers, and then this beautiful Mermaid Princess sat upon her throne, while several ministers placed the crown upon her head.
After that, a large amount of fine food and wine was brought directly out from Dragon Palace, and amidst the waves of cheers, numerous Fish-Men and Merfolk wove through the food and wine, beginning to feast and drink.
"Eat... eat well, everyone! This is the final meal for you lot of Fish-Men!"
Looking at the commoners below, Princess Shirahoshi maintained the sweet smile on her face with great difficulty, lest her entire facial expression distort and attract the attention of the residents below.
Just over ten minutes later, a Fish-Man suddenly let out a miserable shriek and collapsed to the ground; this Fish-Man's reaction was like a signal, as a large number of Fish-Men simultaneously let out miserable shrieks, falling down one after another.
"What is going on?"
"There is poison in the wine!"
"It hurts, my stomach hurts so much! What on earth is happening?"
"Why are these Merfolk fine... how strange..."
Almost in an instant, the scene below descended into chaos, and Princess Shirahoshi above finally could no longer hold back her smile, laughing excitedly:
"Idiotic Fish-Men, this is a poison I specifically had someone concoct, effective specifically against Fish-Men, just to finish off you lot of brainless beasts."
Uchiha Feiyu highly suspected that this was likely a medicinal formula specifically left behind by some former king of Dragon Palace; otherwise, how long had it been since Shirahoshi, that former sweet and naive princess, changed her mindset? How could she have manufactured this kind of poison so quickly?
The conflict between Fish-Men and Merfolk has long existed, yet the Merfolk, who occupy the ruling position, are far inferior in strength to the fierce-natured Fish-Men; having such a thought to solve it once and for all and manufacturing a poison specifically targeting Fish-Men is absolutely a highly probable occurrence.
