Chapter 162: Gyoncorde Plaza

"No, that would only startle the snake."

Neptune scratched his head. If they could find Fan De Dai Ken, would they still need Rear Admiral Karl to help?

Ain poked Karl in the waist and whispered, "You have the most devious ideas; don't hold back. I don't want Little Bai to be pestered by that pervert again."

Karl widened his eyes. What do you mean I have the most devious ideas? Don't go framing a good person!

I have always acted according to rules and regulations!

"Ahem, Lord Neptune, I have an idea that should be feasible."

Karl's plan was to use a two-pronged approach. To make Fan De Dai Ken come over, he had to be given motivation.

Motivation one: This guy had pestered Shirahoshi for over a year and refused to give up. Even if the mark disappeared, he would definitely only think about finding an opportunity to mark her again.

The Navy had just dealt with Hody Jones's crew on Fish-Man Island. As long as Fan De Dai Ken wasn't stupid, he would never show up while the Navy was still on the island. Therefore, as long as the Navy feigned departure, Fan De Dai Ken's motivation to enter the island would be even greater.

After hearing Karl's plan, Neptune nodded repeatedly, though he hesitated when he heard about recruiting a husband for Shirahoshi in advance.

"This... Shirahoshi is still young. Is it really appropriate to do this?"

Karl said dismissively, "It's not for real, so wouldn't it be fine to just explain it later?"

"But Shirahoshi is a girl after all. Wouldn't this damage her reputation?"

Sharkon then retorted, "Father King, this is for Little Bai's healthy growth in the future. This small sacrifice is worth it. The subjects will naturally understand your painstaking efforts."

Neptune was not angry. After weighing it repeatedly, he nodded as if he had made a decision: "Very well, Rear Admiral Karl, let's do as you say!"

"Alright, I will go back and prepare. As for what to say during the public execution of Hody Jones tomorrow, that will be all up to you."

"That is only natural. Rear Admiral Karl, you must come!"

After returning, Ain took Karl's place to explain their plan to all the Navy soldiers, which was also very simple.

It was to feign departure from Fish-Man Island after the public execution of Hody Jones, but in reality, they would just circle around outside and then head directly to Long Gong City through a hidden passage to stand by.

Everything was ready; all that remained was for Fan De Dai Ken to walk right into the trap.

The next day, Gyoncorde Plaza.

Ever since Wang Fei Otohime died, few Fish-Man Island residents had gathered here, but today it was packed.

"I really didn't expect it! The true culprit who assassinated Wang Fei Otohime was actually that bastard Hody Jones!"

"Wang Fei Otohime was so gentle, how could he bring himself to do it! What a beast!"

"Shh! Stop talking, the Neptune Army is here!"

They saw several giant flounders carrying large bubbles flying in the sky, slowly descending around the execution platform in the center of the plaza.

King Neptune, Jinbe, the three princes, Karl, Ain, and Smoker descended from the flounders one by one and arrived at the center of the execution platform together.

"My fellow subjects, I am King Neptune. The day before yesterday, the Fish-Man District thug leader Hody Jones incited thugs to frame the Navy, but it was seen through, and the criminal gang was captured by the Navy."

"However, besides inciting his subordinates to frame the Navy, Hody Jones also committed another heinous crime!"

The residents of Fish-Man Island held their breath. Although they had heard rumors, hearing it directly from King Neptune was completely different.

"The year before last, the assassination of Wang Fei Otohime by human pirates was actually an assassination operation meticulously planned by Hody Jones."

"The purpose was to destroy the friendly relationship between humans and the Fish-Man race and to incite racial conflict!"

"And the person who assassinated Wang Fei Otohime was not a pirate, but Hody Jones himself!"

The scene erupted in an uproar, and the crowd was filled with indignation.

"Quiet!"

"Bring the criminal Hody Jones up!!!"

Under the angry gazes of the residents, a battered Hody Jones was brought before the execution platform by two Neptune Army soldiers and forced to kneel.

"Kill him! Avenge Wang Fei Otohime!!!"

"Go to hell, Hody Jones, you bastard!"

"Hody Jones, you 【expletive】, 【expletive】 you!"

There were even a few red-eyed, burly fish-men who wanted to rush up and give Hody Jones a few slaps to vent their anger, but they were stopped by the Neptune Army.

Smoker felt a lingering fear just watching. It was fortunate that he had held back when he was being framed; otherwise, not only would he have met a bad end, but even his good brother Karl would have been implicated.

"Hody Jones, do you know your crimes?"

Hody Jones arrogantly raised his head, looking with disdain at the Fish-Man Island residents who were filled with rage.

"Jahahaha~ Know my crimes? What did I do wrong? Humans are inherently inferior and evil creatures, yet that idiot woman licked her face and knelt to please the Celestial Dragons. It's truly incomprehensible!"

"Fish-men are the supreme race. You cowards, you are grateful for the small favors humans give you. Where is your honor as fish-men?"

Neptune shook his head. This guy was simply incomprehensible and refused to repent.

"Hody Jones, for the assassination of Wang Fei Otohime, inciting racial conflict, and framing the Navy, your crimes are unforgivable. As the King of Fish-Man Island, I sentence Hody Jones to... death!"

The onlookers immediately cheered!

"Execute!"

"Jahahaha, come! Even if I die, my will shall be passed on, my will shall attain eternal life!!!"

Swish~

Thud~ The fish head hit the ground.

The world had one less scourge.

"Well deserved!" "Dying so easily is too good for him!"

After the crowd calmed down, Neptune looked at Karl and said loudly, "My fellow subjects, please be quiet and listen to me."

"Being able to ferret out Hody Jones this time is all thanks to Rear Admiral Karl. It was he who..."

In short, a pile of praise for the Navy and Karl made the favorability of the Fish-Man Island residents toward the Navy and Karl soar. ===== CHAPTER 164 =====
