NOVEL NEXT Chapter 18: 18. Im?
Outside Fish-Man Island, Jinbei stood next to Tom.
"Although it's a bit presumptuous... I still want to ask, why did you take action against Vander Decken IX?"
"I don't know, but I believe that man will not give orders to me without reason, and... even if it is an order without reason, I will carry it out!"
Tom clenched his fists, and there was a huge black shadow swimming towards Fish-Man Island in front of him.
"It's Wadatsumi. He... He's just a child who isn't very sensible. Please give me some time to persuade him to leave Vander Decken IX's command."
"Hurry up, you just heard that the man doesn't seem to be in a good mood."
Jinbei nodded and walked in front of Tom: "Hey, Wadatsumi."
"Oh? It's Boss Jinbei, what's the matter?" Wadatsumi's child-like voice sounded, which looked extremely weird and funny when paired with his full beard and chest hair.
"Vander Decken IX is not worthy of your following, and he is about to be arrested, you..."
"What!!! Want...to arrest the captain!!!"
Before Jinbei could finish speaking, Wadatsumi exclaimed: "Unforgivable!!!"
Wadatsumi was dragging a huge and dilapidated ship behind him, like a legendary ghost ship.
On the boat, the four-legged Vander Decken laughed strangely when he heard Jinbei's voice: "Bahohohoho, come and catch me? Jinbei?"
"Wadatsumi! Kill him!"
"Yes! Captain!"
After receiving the order from Vander Decken IX, Wadatsumi raised his fist and smashed it towards Jinbei: "Those who want to do harm to the captain should be buried in the sea!"
Jinbei's face darkened, his right foot retreated slightly, and his right fist was raised.
"Fish-Man Karate Ogi: Buraikan!"
The huge water ball spun in front of Jinbei's palm and then penetrated Wadatsumi's body.
"Wow...it hurts, it hurts!"
Under the high pressure of the deep sea, the power of Jinbei's Buraikan is greatly reduced. He only beat Wadatsumi until he vomited blood, but he did not lose his fighting ability.
"Damn...deterrence! Mega Nyudo!!" (T/N: Not what you think)
Wadatsumi opened his big mouth, and the air and seawater from the seabed poured into his body.
The already huge body inflated like a balloon, approaching Jinbei and Tom.
"Fish-Man..." Jinbei took a slight breath and prepared to take action again.
"Enough!"
"Let the farce end here!" Tom walked to Jinbei and raised his hand to stop him.
Then Jinbei saw Tom assuming the same pose.
"He·····"
Jinbei was stunned. There seemed to be a big difference in how Tom and other Fish-Men used the same moves. Isn't even Buraikan different?
On Tom's fist, the water ball was rotating at a super high speed, and the density of the water ball was compressed to an extremely terrifying level.
"Fish-Man Karate Ogi: Buraikan!"
Boom!!
The high-pressure impact, which exceeded jinbei's Buraikan several times, enveloped Wadatsumi's huge body, and the huge shock wave even shattered the ghost ship behind it.
"Well·······"
Wadatsumi rolled his eyes and fell down.
The ghost ship was also torn apart.
The huge shock wave did not stagnate at all after penetrating Wadatsumi and the ghost ship, and still rushed towards the deep sea.
Seen from a distance, it looked like a comet.
Tom stamped his foot and launched his huge body like a torpedo.
Vander Decken IX was found among the fragments of the ghost ship, having his swimming coating shattered by Buraikan.
Vander Decken IX, the Mark-Mark Fruit user, had already rolled his eyes at this moment.
Jinbei came to Tom's side shortly after.
"He attacked Princess Shirahoshi many times, it's not as good as..." Although he was shocked by Tom's use of Buraikan just now, Jinbei still did not forget his duty.
"With your strength, couldn't you catch him early on, Jinbei?"
Jinbei was also stunned for a moment.
Yes! If he had taken action against someone like Vander Decken IX, he would have solved it long ago, right?
"Although I don't know why that man hates him so much, I believe this guy must have a reason to die."
Tom held Vander Decken IX's head with one hand and raised it high.
"I think that man's words are very reasonable: 'Kindness to your enemies is cruelty to your friends.'"
Tom's hand flashed with water: "Soshark!"
Like Hody Jones, Vander Decken's head was shattered, and his limbs hung limply.
After throwing his body aside, Tom said to Jinbei: "I have heard your story and admire what you have done for Fish-Man Island, but..."
"You, who are so indecisive and soft-hearted, are you trying to protect Fish-Man Island!? Jinbei!?"
······
"HO~~? Did you say that to Fatty Blue?" Dylan looked at the somewhat uneasy Tom in front of him thoughtfully.
"Ah...that...that's it. I feel that a man like that shouldn't be like this."
"Is that so..." Dylan nodded indifferently: "What about you? What do you think about this trip?"
Tom raised his furry palm and scratched his head: "Not really..."
Dylan laughed: "How strong is Jinbei, one of the Shichibukai?"
Tom showed a trace of doubt: "That, I am also a little confused. Isn't the 'Seven Warlords of the Sea' a big pirate? Why..."
Dylan raised his feet and said leisurely: "It's not that he is weak, but that you are strong enough now, Tom.
Of course, it has not reached the strength I expected.
So, it's not time to relax yet. When you, Shiryu, Bell-mère, and others are strong enough, we will work together to end this era of chaos and restore peace to the sea.
You can also return to Water 7, and I will help you spread sea trains all over the ocean."
Tom showed a longing look: "I'm really looking forward to that day..."
Then Tom seemed to remember something, lowered his head and asked again: "That... the Fish-Man Karate I use seems to be different from others?"
"Of course," Dylan lit up his cigarette. "What you practice is what the World Government has compiled and perfected over the past 800 years. What they practice is just what has been passed down from generation to generation. Maybe theirs is more authentic, but yours is definitely more powerful."
"Understood," Tom nodded, showing a questioning look.
Dylan shook his head and signaled he could go out.
Seeing Tom's back, Dylan smiled.
This guy is truly a treasure.
Although his talent is different from that of Luffy, and he cannot master Conqueror's Infusion in three hours, he is definitely at the monster level.
When he masters the use of all Haki and increases the intensity of Armament Haki to another level...
There are only a handful of people in this sea who can fight him hand-to-hand.
If it were in the ocean, he would be invincible.
Pere~Pere~Pere~Pere~.
The blue Den Den Mushi rang, and Dylan was a little surprised.
The Five Elders took the initiative to call themselves?
"Moshi moshi?"
"Adams Dylan. We received news from the Ryugu Kingdom, and your subordinates clarified the misunderstanding between humans and fishmen."
"Ho~ Neptune, this salted fish, is quite sensible." Facing the Five Elders, Dylan did not show too much obsequiousness.
"········"
The Five Elders seemed a little surprised by his attitude, but then they were relieved.
"As one of the representatives of the other race, the attitude of the fishmen also plays a very important role in the stability of the World Government. This time you have made great contributions. How should you be rewarded?"
Actively explode equipment?
Dylan rubbed his fingers.
Something's not right. The Five Elders are so easy to talk to? Don't they just smile on the face and prepare to kill me in their hearts?
But it's hard to ask this question directly...
"Uh..." Dylan opened his mouth: "It should be done, but I happen to have something to ask you for help with, so why not consider it as this reward?"
"Oh? Tell me about it?"
Dylan looked at the Castle-Castle Fruit placed on the bookcase next to him: "I heard that Vegapunk has done a lot of research on Devil Fruits and has made preliminary progress in object fusion. I want him to help me fuse a fruit."
"Is that all? We agreed, and CP members will go to you later to understand your detailed needs. If there are orders, we will convey them directly to Vegapunk."
After saying that, the Five Elders hung up the phone.
Looking at the extinguished Den Den Mushi, Dylan frowned slightly.
What was the reason for the Five Elders to contact me?
The mere incident with the fishmen is definitely not enough to cause such a huge change in the attitude of the Five Elders.
Could it be that person...
Dylan thought of Mariejois' "Throne of the Void."
The only thing that can have such a huge impact on the Five Elders is it - "Im".
