Chapter 93

"Yes!"

"Look! It’s the Neptune Army!" "Ah! That is, that is King Neptune! He actually came!"

"No, not just him, there’s also Boss Jinbe!"

Jinbe looked at the corpses of his compatriots lying horizontally and vertically on the ground, clenched his fists tightly, jumped up, and came to Karl.

"What have you done!"

"Ding~ Detected Jinbe’s hostility toward the host, series mission [Don't Fight Your Own People] has been triggered."

"Mission requirements: Avoid fighting with one of the Seven Warlords of the Sea, Knight of the Sea Jinbe."

"Mission reward: [Fish-Man Wrist Strength], Armament Haki · Internal Destruction skill card."

[Fish-Man Wrist Strength]: Wrist strength increased tenfold.

Although the rewards were rich, Karl was too lazy to even look at them. Stop KTV-ing me, system!

Karl didn't change his expression, looked up at Jinbe, and the raven also tilted its head, watching Jinbe with its blood-red pupils.

The ground under his feet had been dyed red by the blood of the fish-man thugs, and there were corpses everywhere. Karl and Jinbe were in a standoff.

Neptune felt he had seen this scene before.

"What have I done? That’s an interesting question."

Karl snapped his fingers, and Ain brought Hody Jones over. At this moment, his face was aged, and he was weak, clearly already affected by the side effects of the Energy Steroids.

Jinbe looked at Hody Jones’s face and only recognized him after checking carefully.

"Hody Jones?"

Hody Jones happened to open his eyes at this moment, and after seeing Jinbe, he smiled disdainfully: "A coward who grovels to humans!"

"He instructed his subordinates to injure the residents of Fish-Man Island, attack the Navy, and frame it as the Navy’s doing to incite racial conflict."

"Ask him, did he do this?"

Jinbe’s expression changed, and he quickly grabbed Hody Jones’s neck: "Is this your doing?"

"Heh heh~"

Perhaps because Jinbe was using too much force, Hody Jones had difficulty speaking. Karl had to cough twice, signaling Jinbe not to be too excited.

"I did it, so what? Humans are inherently inferior and evil creatures. Daring to set foot on Fish-Man Island is their fate!"

Jinbe’s arm trembled slightly, and he said, suppressing his anger: "In that case, the human tourists who went missing some time ago were all your doing?"

"Jahahaha, it was me!"

Hody Jones had no intention of defending himself and proudly admitted everything.

Jinbe took a deep breath and then let out a long sigh.

"I’m sorry, Rear Admiral Karl, I misunderstood you!"

Karl shook his head: "No, no, no, it’s too early to apologize now, Lord Jinbe. You should remember the conversation between you and me some time ago, right?"

"Yes, I naturally remember."

Karl smiled slightly: "Actually, I lied to you. My real purpose is to investigate the real reason for Queen Otohime’s assassination."

"Queen Otohime? But wasn't she shot and killed by human pirates?"

"She was indeed assassinated by pirates. Originally, I thought so too."

Then Karl changed the subject and pointed at Hody Jones: "If I remember correctly, the moment Queen Otohime was assassinated, he immediately killed the pirates and declared in front of the people of Fish-Man Island that humans had murdered Queen Otohime."

"Don't you think it’s a bit suspicious?"

"You mean!"

Karl snapped his fingers crisply: "That’s right, I suspect he instructed the human pirates to shoot and kill Queen Otohime and pointed the conflict at humans."

"The purpose was to destroy the racial relations that Queen Otohime had worked so hard to ease, incite racial conflict, and make the residents of Fish-Man Island hate humans and even feel despair toward humans!"

These words made Jinbe fall into deep thought. Last year, or the year before last, he was also at the scene, but at the moment Queen Otohime died, he received a huge shock.

How could a mind filled with anger see these insignificant details?

"Perhaps Lord Jinbe thinks I have no proof, but have you noticed that this way of splashing dirty water is familiar?"

A loud bang suddenly rang in the minds of all the Navy and the fish-man residents!

That’s right, and they had experienced it today! It couldn't even be said that they were unrelated; they were exactly the same!

"Jahahaha~ Did I do something wrong? Everything I did was just to make you vigilant against the lowly and evil creatures that are humans! Was I wrong?"

"That idiot woman actually ignored the dignity of fish-men, begged for peace with humans, and established some bullshit friendly relations! It’s a joke!"

"So, I used money to bribe human pirates, burned the signature box, and personally sniped her when Otohime was collecting signatures."

Now, not only Jinbe, but all the residents of Fish-Man Island present were angry!

Queen Otohime was the person they respected the most, the person who had run around for half her life for the future of the fish-man race, but this Hody Jones, this Hody Jones!!!

"Kill him!" "Avenge Queen Otohime!!!"

Neptune was trembling uncontrollably, his eye sockets red, wishing he could kill Hody Jones on the spot to vent his anger.

"Maintain order!"

The Navy soldiers immediately took action, forming a defensive line to block the agitated residents of Fish-Man Island to avoid causing greater losses.

Jinbe raised his hand several times, wanting to slap Hody Jones to death, but he held back and walked silently to King Neptune.

"King Neptune, Hody Jones is guilty of heinous crimes. I wanted to execute him immediately, but the truth must be made public; we cannot let Queen Otohime’s efforts go to waste!"

Neptune nodded vigorously: "I know, I know. Someone, come! Arrest him!"

Several Neptune Army soldiers immediately controlled Hody Jones and brought him to Neptune. Neptune suppressed the urge to fork him to death and waved his hand in disgust.

"Lock him in the prison tower, and execute him publicly at Gyoncorde Plaza in three days!"

"Yes!"

After speaking, Neptune came to Karl with complicated feelings and said gratefully: "Thank you, Rear Admiral Karl, thank you for ferreting out the real culprit who assassinated my beloved wife!"

"You’re welcome. Racial conflict is becoming increasingly sharp, and it’s this kind of extreme racist who is fueling the flames behind the scenes. It’s better if this place called Fish-Man District doesn't exist."

"Rear Admiral Karl is right. I will immediately issue a blockade order, strictly forbidding residents of Fish-Man Island from entering this place."

Karl nodded slightly: "That’s good. Nelson, let’s pack up!"

"Wait a moment!"

"Is there anything else, Lord Neptune?"

King Neptune said sincerely: "To thank Rear Admiral Karl for what you have done, I would Move Move Like to invite you and the Navy to Dragon Palace tonight for a dinner. I wonder what Rear Admiral Karl thinks?"

"Hahaha, then thank you, King Neptune, for your warm invitation. We will arrive at the banquet on time tonight."

"Ain, let’s go!"

"Ding~ Series mission [Don't Fight Your Own People 4/7] completed."

"Mission reward: [Fish-Man Wrist Strength], Armament Haki · Internal Destruction skill card."

How should I put it? Actually, Karl was already prepared for the mission to fail. Jinbe really might have taken action; after all, his subordinates killed so many fish-men.

As a result, the mission was completed. Isn't that annoying?

Karl muttered in his heart: Use the skill card!

In this way, Karl had mastered all known techniques of Armament Haki. If he wanted to further strengthen it, he could only improve his physique, thereby improving the quality of his Haki.

As for the skill [Fish-Man Wrist Strength], it was a great improvement for Karl because he was a swordsman, and wrist strength was very important.

Simply put, Karl’s hand skills had become even better!

Mermaid Cafe.

The matter had been resolved, so Karl simply came to drink coffee. It was definitely not because he wanted to get close to the mermaid ladies.

It’s just that the speed of news spreading was much faster than he imagined. Soon, everything that happened in Fish-Man District spread throughout Fish-Man Island.

Several mermaid ladies stuck to his side, looking at him with admiring eyes, acting Move Move Like spoiled children and giving him rewards. It was annoying.

Madam Shyarly stared at the crystal ball with a complicated expression. She had indeed prophesied correctly, but not completely.

Who would have thought that Karl’s arrival would actually be a good thing for Fish-Man Island?
