Taoist priest, who is so popular in One Piece

"What an incredible race."

After hearing Papagu's explanation, everyone in the Straw Hat Pirates said the same thing in unison.

After moving forward for a while, everyone stopped in front of a solemn building.

"This shouldn't be Dragon Palace City."

Recalling the content of the original work, Bai Ye asked with some confusion.

Ryugu Castle is the only protruding area on Fishman Island, but the place in front of everyone is obviously still on the island, and judging from its luxury, it looks more like a newly built house.

"Indeed, it's not, but there is someone here who wants to meet you, so I've asked you to bring everyone here first."

Jinbei nodded and said, "It just so happens that we have to take this route to get to Ryugu Castle, so I agreed."

"Someone wants to see us?" Bai Ye was even more confused now. He couldn't remember that there was such a person on Fishman Island.

But Bai Ye didn't have to think about it, because the door of the building in front of him had been opened and several figures walked out.

The figure leading the group also surprised Bai Ye: "Brian?!!!"

"Hahaha, Mr. Byakuya, Mr. Luffy, and Mr. Zoro, it's been a long time since we last met."

Brian walked up to the crowd with a smile and greeted the three of them happily.

"Huh? Who are you?" Luffy and Zoro tilted their heads at the same time and asked soul-searching questions.

Brian: ...

"It seems to be the navy in Shields Town before." Nami remembered Brian's identity at this time.

After Luffy and the other two left, Nami learned about their deeds in Shields Town.

So there are some impressions of Brian.

"Shields Town?" Luffy and Zoro's heads tilted even more.

Nami: ...It's okay.

"So, you are joining the Liaoyuan Army?"

After ignoring the two idiots Luffy and Zoro, Bai Ye also started chatting with Brian.

Brian was no longer wearing the white navy uniform, but a red-based uniform with dark blue accents.

Considering that the building in front of him looked more like a base, Bai Ye quickly guessed the truth.

"That's right. Actually, it's all thanks to you guys."

Brian smiled and said, "After Akainu was promoted to admiral, he immediately carried out a major purge within the navy. Many dovish generals were transferred to the four seas, which was equivalent to being demoted."

"Oh, so you chose to join the Liaoyuan Army because you were dissatisfied with being demoted?" Bai Ye asked.

"No, because of my previous cooperation with you, I was labeled a traitor by the Navy. If it weren't for Vice Admiral Tsuru of the General Staff, I might have been locked up."

Brian was still smiling.

But Bai Ye couldn't laugh anymore, because Brian's true colors were exposed.

"Well...I...severely...severely condemn the navy's behavior of arresting good people indiscriminately!" Bai Ye stuttered as he spoke, with some cold sweat on his forehead.

"This seems to be the first time that Bai Ye has been suppressed in speech." Usopp had an expression of enjoying watching the fun.

"That's right, this kind of scene is quite rare to see." Nami was even more excited: "Quickly take out the camera Den Den Mushi, we must take a clear picture of Bai Ye's embarrassment."

Fortunately, Brian had no intention of asking Bai Ye for an explanation. After the establishment of Starfire, he had already thought about leaving the navy, but he did not expect the purge to come so soon.

After leaving the navy, Brian naturally joined the Ryogen Army. He was even reused because of his relationship with the Straw Hat Pirates and his identity as a traitor to the navy.

As for coming to the Liaoyuan Army Base on Fishman Island, it was also Brian who specifically applied for it because he wanted to meet with the Straw Hat Pirates.

He is now the second-in-command of this base, and the first-in-command is a former general of the revolutionary army with considerable strength.

"Everyone in the Straw Hat Pirates, you are the most important allies of the Spark and the Prairie Army, so if there is anything you need our help with, feel free to ask."

"Also, after attending King Neptune's banquet, I hope everyone can let our Liaoyuan Army give us a treat as well."

After having a cordial and friendly conversation with Byakuya, Brian also invited everyone in the Straw Hat Pirates.

"Hey! Is there another party? Is there any meat?" Luffy's eyes lit up.

Brian's mouth curled up: "Of course, it's even bigger than the banquet in Shields Town that year."

"Great! You're such a good person, Embry~"

"My name is Brian, Mr. Luffy..."

Finally, under Bai Ye's somewhat awkward urging, everyone set off again.

-

At this moment, in the almost lightless Fishman Street on the seabed not far from Fishman Island.

"Is the news accurate? Bao Zang. Did the Straw Hat Pirates really come to Fishman Island?"

The person who spoke was a fierce-looking great white shark man, wearing a flat hat with a trident pattern on his head, a wolfskin scarf around his neck, and among the large tattoos on his left arm, the tattoo of the Arlong Pirates was prominently listed.

There is no doubt that he is the captain of the new Fishman Pirates who inherited Arlong's will - Hodie Jones.

"Absolutely accurate. There won't be another ship of that shape in the world."

The mermaid called Bao Zang by Hodie Jones answered, "And I captured a fishman from Fishman Island, and he admitted it himself. Those people are now being taken to Ryugu Castle by Jinbei, and Neptune is going to host a banquet for them."

Bao Zang is a blue-ringed octopus (poisonous species) mermaid. He often holds a skewer of meatballs and a wine flask in his hands, and he is drunk. But he is indeed a very powerful killer in the new mermaid pirate group. Xiao Ba of the Arlong Pirates was completely defeated by Bao Zang.

"Hahahahaha, I didn't expect that there would be such a big surprise when we were just getting ready."

Hody Jones laughed loudly: "If it was on land, even if I wanted to avenge Brother Aaron and the others, I would never take the initiative to provoke these guys."

"but!"

Hodie Jones opened his mouth wide, revealing a mouthful of sharp shark teeth.

"This is the seabed 10,000 meters below the sea surface!"

"Those inferior races who can't even breathe in the sea water will become the best sacrifice for us to rule Fishman Island!!!"

"Ahahahahaha!!!"

The live broadcast of Luffy and others at the top of the war was naturally also available on Fishman Island, and Hodie Jones also knew the strength of the Straw Hat Pirates.

But he also believed that in the sea water, fish were the most powerful.

What's more, Hodie Jones has his own secret weapon.

E.S, full name “Energy Steroid”, also known as the deadly drug E.S.

This is a powerful medicine that can double the strength of the person taking it. One pill doubles the strength, two pills quadruple the strength, and so on.

This is also one of the reasons why Hodie Jones dared to plot against Fishman Island.
