261 Complain
"Quick, go and tell Captain Hody Jones!"
The pirate guards were alarmed.
Faced with the intrusion of Whitebeard and Marine, no one dared to confront them.
Whitebeard's advance through the seawater resembled a rocket, creating waves in the surrounding sea.
Being pulled by Whitebeard through the vibrating force, even the Marine soldiers on the warship were stunned.
They stood on the warship's deck, looking in amazement at the swiftly passing scenery.
"Is this Fishman island? Is it so beautiful!"
"This Whitebeard is really amazing. It's worthy of being the Four Emperors. He brought us to The Fishman Island without the need for coating."
"Yeah, it's terrifying. Thankfully, there shouldn't be any danger for us following him."
Marine soldiers exchanged words, expressing their amazement at Whitebeard's methods while feeling a mix of awe and admiration.
For these Marine soldiers, since they can be selected on these five warships, they naturally have no deep hatred against the pirates.
Whitebeard treats them well and rarely puts them in awkward situations, making them feel quite comfortable.
As a result, the thoughts of these Marine soldiers have quietly and unknowingly evolved, undergoing subtle changes.
Whitebeard advanced steadily at the back of Sanjuan Wolf, and the nearby pirates paid little attention, heading straight for the center of the Fishman Island at the forefront.
Before long, Whitebeard and his crew arrived at Fishman Island, and the regular ships came to a halt.
"Sanjuan Wolf, your body is too big. Just wait here for now and don't walk around until I return"
Whitebeard instructed after disembarking from Sanjuan Wolf.
Now that they were on Fishman Island, which was filled with numerous coral buildings, Whitebeard was concerned that Sanjuan Wolf's big body might pose problems for the locals. Therefore, he instructed him to stay put.
"Okay, Oyaji." Sanjuan Wolf replied obediently, then sat down right where he was.
Whitebeard nodded and scanned the surroundings, even though the area was already under the control of Big Mom's forces.
Yet, historically, the true rulers of Fishman Island have been the Ryugu imperial family, and their actual enemies are Hodie Jones and Van der Dyken IX.
Hody Jones leads the New Fishman Pirates, while Van der Decken IX captains the Flying Pirates. Together, they join forces to oppose both humans and Fishmen who have some relation to humans.
The inhabitants of Fishman Island quickly spotted Whitebeard, and most of them were familiar with him.
"Oh my goodness, it's Whitebeard, one of the Four Emperors!"
"Why would he come himself?"
"Is he here to reclaim control over Fishman Island?"
The fish people speculated about Whitebeard's purpose for coming, but regardless, they were very surprised.
The personal visit of a Four Emperors' Captain is quite rare, indicating Whitebeard's significant important for this place.
Whitebeard walked steadily. At the heart of Fishman Island lies the Ryugu Palace, home to the royal family. Whitebeard intends to head there first to see the situation.
However, the nearby fish people, upon seeing Whitebeard, showed no signs of hostility, and some even dared to approach him.
A fishman hurried to Whitebeard, knelt down, and pleaded, "Whitebeard-sama, we beg you to be our protector; the Ryugu Palace is facing persecution."
As some fishmen stepped forward to speak, others also prepared to speak, though a few were held back.
"Quiet! Anyone close to humans will face direct execution by Captain Hody Jones!"
"He dares to do anything, even trampling on the portrait of Princess Otohime!"
Whitebeard sees the grievances of these fishmen, and his goal in coming this time is to save the Fishman Island.
"Don't worry, everyone."
Whitebeard spoke suddenly, using the power of sound waves and vibrations to ensure his voice reached all the fishmen in the area.
"Sooner or later, I will become the Pirate King of the sea, the captain of the Whitebeard Pirates. Today, I reclaim the rule of Fishman Island, and I will destroy anything that threatens this place!"
Whitebeard's voice echoed like a heavenly decree, and all the fishmen cheered immediately upon hearing it. Being ruled by either Whitebeard or Big Mom provided a sense of protection for them.
With the presence of Four Emperors-level power, other forces dare not pose a threat to Fishman Island.
However, when compared to Big Mom, Fishman Island clearly favors Whitebeard. Not long after ruling the island, Big Mom's envoys forced them to construct a dessert factory.
The construction of a massive dessert processing factory also consumes large resources in Fishman Island. The factory operates day and night, all dedicated to paying tribute to Big Mom.
In such a scenario, it should have been a tribute to the protector. However, the envoys of Big Mom now seem to endorse Hody Jones in his destructive actions on Fishman Island.
"Whitebeard-sama, you're truly our savior. Please make sure to defeat Hody Jones and the Van der Decken IX. They are the main culprits threatening the Ryugu Palace."
Fishmen stepped forward one after another, expressing their gratitude to Whitebeard.
Whitebeard had never heard of these two minor characters, but of course, he didn't bother to remember their names.
"Isn't Big Mom already in charge of Fishman Island? If she's overseeing it, why doesn't she intervene?"
Whitebeard asked with some scepticism
"Sigh, you might not know. Our king asked for help from a Big Mom envoy, but they said it's an internal matter for Fishman Island."
"They're only concerned with guarding against external threats, so we have to handle this on our own."
As they spoke, tears welled up in the eyes of the Fishman.
The emotion spread, and soon, others began to cry as well.
"Yes, I heard even Princess Shirahoshi was targeted by the pirates. I don't know the full situation, but they are simply too cruel!"
"And they even execute fishmen with even a hint of human-like behavior or ideas."
Hearing this, Whitebeard couldn't help but laugh
"Gurarara, isn't it strange? Aren't Big Mom and her envoys are also humans? Why didn't they resist?"
Whitebeard laughed.
The fishmen were taken aback upon hearing his words, and then a sudden realization dawned on them.
"Yes, Big Mom's envoys are also human, and Hody Jones doesn't dare to provoke Big Mom pirates in the slightest"
The fishman people replied.
"Gurarara, just someone bullying the weak and fearing the strong. I'll help you handle it"
Whitebeard declared calmly
"Thank you Whitebeard-sama! thank you, Whitebeard-sama!"
The fishman expressed their gratitude.
