Chapter 464 - 466

After breakfast.

Otohime once again acted as a guide, but this time Shirahoshi joined them.

Yeruashi, Robin, and the others left Ryugu Palace for a walk on the Fishmen Island.

The Fishmen Island wasn't very big, so they reached the Sea Forest quite quickly.

This place is called the sea forest because there are many beautiful corals of various species growing here, forming a semblance of trees in the forest.

But in addition to a variety of colorful corals, there is also a huge number of sunken ships, so there is a rather quiet and cold atmosphere in the sea forest.

Because of this atmosphere, Shirahoshi was not as talkative as yesterday.

After a while.

They arrived at the poneglyph, located in the depths of the sea forest.

Robin carefully examined the poneglyph and quickly found out that in addition to the history of Fishman Island, there was a message with Joy Boy's apology written on it.

Shirahoshi, who was holding Yeruashi in her large hands, asked with interest: "Mr. Yeruashi, what does the forest look like on the surface? Is it similar to our sea forest?"

Yeruashi smiled, " No, he's very different."

Answering Shirahoshi's question, he narrowed his eyes slightly and looked in a certain direction.

In that direction, behind a large coral reef, there were several figures crouching down.

They were led by Hody Jones, who shot Otohime in the original story and blamed it on people, and later tried to seize power on the Island of Fishmen!

"Otohime dared to come to such a place accompanied by people, even without a guard..."

Zeo looked at him: "What are we going to do?"

"Of course..."

Hody looked coldly at Otohime and grinned maliciously, revealing a row of sharp teeth: "We can't miss such a great opportunity."

He took the gun from the hand of Zeo, who was standing next to him, pointed it at Otohime in the distance and closed one eye, starting to aim: "If you kill Otohime right now, then everyone will definitely think that people did it, right? It might even provoke the outbreak of war."

"Ha ha ha, boss Go, as always, is smart and cunning!"

A few fishmen standing nearby grinned maliciously.

Daruma cast an evil glance in the direction of Yeruashi and the others: "Jimbei even became a Shichibukai, for the sake of peaceful coexistence with humans, but how dare he neglect the fact that we fishmen are superior to humans?! Fishmen are the highest race!"

"Shut up!"

Hody growled irritably, looking at his subordinates with incomparable seriousness, and began to carefully aim at Otohime's head.

After a few seconds, cold and anger flashed in Hoda's eyes, and his index finger sharply pulled the trigger.

Boom!!

The sound of a gunshot rang out.

The bullet flew out of the barrel of the gun and instantly covered about a hundred meters, going to hit exactly in the head of Otohime!

Robin, who was carefully examining the poneglyph, and Hancock, who was admiring the colorful coral reefs, abruptly turned their heads in the same direction when they heard the loud sound of a gunshot.

Someone dared to open fire on them?!

At the moment when the sound of the gunshot sounded, Otohime froze in place, stunned, feeling the fear of impending death.

But at the last moment, Yeruashi suddenly appeared in front of Otohime, who had been sitting on Shirahoshi's tender arms a moment earlier.

If you slow down time several times at this moment, you could see how Yeruashi relaxed and carelessly raised his hand at a speed several times higher than the speed of the bullet, after which he stretched out his index finger and thumb, carefully clamping the flying bullet between them.

"What?!"

From his point of view, it seemed that Yeruashi just instantly appeared in front of Otohime and blocked the bullet with a simple wave of his hand!

"Mom!!"

Shirahoshi screamed, startled by the loud sound of a gunshot.

Otohime quickly came to her senses after hearing her daughter's frightened cry, and looked worriedly at Yeruashi, who appeared next to her unknown when.

At this moment, Yeruashi slowly lowered his hand, between the fingers of which the bullet was carefully clamped.

"...Mr. Yeruashi?!"

Otohime exclaimed in shock.

Yeruashi just looked at Otohime and smiled at the frightened Shirahoshi: "There is no need to be so afraid, Shirahoshi, everything is fine."

"Mr. Yeruashi..."

Yeruashi looked indifferently at the coral reef, which was about a hundred meters away from them, and abruptly straightened his fingers, between which a small bullet was clamped.

Phew!!

The bullet that flew out of Yeruashi's hand quickly cut through the air and pierced the coral reef.

The reef was first covered with many small cracks, and then fell apart, showing the figures of Hoda and other fishmen, who were looking in shock in the direction of Yeruashi and the others.

Hody Jones, who was standing at the head of several fishmen, froze in place and slowly lowered his head, surprised to find a small bloody hole on his ċhėst!!

A stream of blood gushed out of the through wound, flooding Hoda's ċhėst and stomach.

"Oh!"

Shirahoshi was even more scared when she saw the bloody wound on Hoda's ċhėst.

The eyes of the Mermaid Princess filled with moisture, as if she was about to cry violently.

Yeruashi shook his head and smoothly rose into the air, after which he looked at the frightened Shirahoshi with a soft smile, pulling the Muramas demonic blade out of its sheath: "Do you want to see the sun, Shirahoshi?"

"Watch carefully."

"The sun will appear there now."

Yeruashi pointed up, forcing Shirahoshi to look away from Hoda and the other fishmen.

Shirahoshi trusted Yeruashi, so when she saw his movement, she suppressed her fear with difficulty and raised her head, looking up with her big wet eyes.

At that moment, Yeruashi smiled and abruptly swung his blade from the bottom up.

Phew!!!

A smooth black stripe appeared before Shirahoshi's eyes, extending to the end of the field of vision to the left and right.

The Mermaid Princess froze in shock on the spot.

The sky over the Island of Fishmen, or to be more precise, the ten-kilometer water column, suddenly divided into two equal parts!

Soon, bright rays of the sun poured through the crevice, illuminating the Island of Fishmen and the bottom of the sea around.

Startled, Shirahoshi was bathed in the bright rays of the sun.

Not only Shirahoshi, but also Otohime stared in amazement at the huge rift formed in the water column above the Fishmen Island.

Zeo and the other fishmen who were nearby stared at the sky in incomprehension and shock, completely losing touch with reality.

Although the heart of Hody Jones was destroyed by a thrown bullet, but he still remained conscious, looking with disbelief at the ten-kilometer water column, cut into two parts by a swing of the Yeruashi blade.

But Yeruashi did not allow them to 'enjoy enough' this beautiful view.

«...»

He looked at Shirahoshi, who was staring at the sunny sky in amazement, forgetting about the fear caused by the shooting and the spilled blood, then carefully returned Muramas ' demonic blade to its sheath and stretched out his hand in the direction of Hodi and the Others, squeezing empty air with his palm.

Hody Jones, whose life force was rapidly withering, Zeo and the rest of the fishmen were caught up by an irresistible invisible force and collided at one point.

Pooh!

Soon, all the fishmen were tightly compressed into a small sphere and fell to the ground, with a light wave of Yeruashi's hand.
