The sea churned at the bottom of the island as Serume fell, struck down by a haki-coated punch from Luffy. Even without his akuma no mis, he was extremely powerful for a rookie.
The Kraken was knocked out before he could look ahead, seeing his attacker right in front of him. He immediately glared angrily. "I've decided, you will be my Kraken, a pirate needs one," Luffy declared with a smile.
Immediately, the mythical creature began sending its tentacles at Luffy, who started dodging them easily as he bounced from side to side with geppo. The Kraken was surprised again as Luffy appeared in front of him after zigzagging to his head, where he struck him once more.
But Luffy resolved to end this as he knocked out the giant creature, with it falling to the ocean floor.
"What?!" The nearby merfolk were already stunned to see someone punching the Kraken, but seeing him knocked out with a second blow left them bewildered.
"It's him!! It's Straw Hat!!" They exclaimed, now recognizing who had done this.
"That damn human!" Hody Jones was frustrated, watching the situation, wanting to kill him, but he also knew that this man was a monster.
"Hey, what is that!!" A merman pointed upwards, as a shadow approached in front of the sky's light.
"A giant mermaid?! Is it King Neptune?!" They exclaimed, thinking it might be Neptune due to his size and trident, but as the person appeared, revealing a feminine figure...
"Is that?!"
"Princess Shirahoshi!!!"
"What is she doing here!"
"Shirahoshi!!!" Vander Decken IX exclaimed, eyes wide, seeing the princess he always wanted to marry, to the point of threatening her and making her stay locked in her room, but for some reason, he had lost his ability with her after hearing she had disappeared and the country was put on alert.
Shirahoshi approached the crowd while Zoro and Robin stayed back. "Luffy wants to catch another animal?" Zoro asked curiously.
"Fufufu... where will he put this one, it seems this one lives under the sea," Robin commented.
Shirahoshi looked at the crowd looking at the group of fish-men stopping some distance from them. "You want to cause chaos on the island of the merfolk, don't you? Luffy-Sama that you tried a coup in the future," she said calmly.
"Hm?! You figured it out...?" Hody commented, looking interested. He wouldn't deny it if they found out. "We are superior to humans! Neptune's management is weak, we must dominate the surface!" Hody declared firmly as everyone agreed.
"Then I must fight you!" Shirahoshi said with an even firmer tone.
"Shirahoshi, marry me!!" Vander Decken IX shouted from the side.
"I can't, I'm going to marry Luffy-Sama," Shirahoshi exclaimed.
"WHAT??!!" Vander Decken IX exclaimed, not believing those words.
"Finish her!" Hody exclaimed as his soldiers moved into fighting position.
"Leave it to me!" Wadatsumi exclaimed, stepping in front of Shirahoshi. "Sorry, Mermaid-San," he said, clenching his fist before launching it at Shirahoshi.
"Hm?" Shirahoshi watched calmly, before swinging her tail and disappearing, then appearing in front of the giant who was still moving his arm to punch.
In the next moment, Wadatsumi's cheek buried as he was sent flying backward with force by the haki punch, making the man fall to the ground crying out as buildings were destroyed and some merfolk were crushed by his immense body falling far away.
"AHHH!!!" The merfolk screamed in desperation as they were crushed and sent flying.
"What?! She's that strong?!" They exclaimed, stunned.
Hody clenched his teeth. "Attack her!" Hody exclaimed as several of his members began advancing through the sea.
"What do you mean, you did this?!" He was stunned, not knowing about Shirahoshi's transformation and believed it could be the sea kings.
"Let me explain, father-in-law," Luffy stepped forward at this moment, after having talked a bit with Serume and convinced him to be a member of the fleet, he could explain the situation better than Shirahoshi.
Despite some veins growing on his forehead from being called father-in-law, Neptune stayed silent, waiting for Luffy to speak. Luffy ended up explaining the situation, and in the end, he made a statement about Otohime. "It was Hody Jones who killed your wife," he said, as Neptune's eyes widened.
"What are you saying?" he murmured.
"Hody Jones is a cancer to the island, while your wife believed in the coexistence of humans and merfolk, he was an antagonist, he wanted the opposite, he wanted the merfolk to go to war against humans and for them to dominate the surface, believing that his race is superior. It seems like a foolish dream, after all, merfolk are very few compared to humans on the surface, and much weaker than the major forces," Luffy scoffed, not intending to offend Neptune, but it was true. "However, they wanted to use the power of Shirahoshi, which could balance the forces," Luffy added at the end.
"This..." Neptune was furious. "Are you sure it was him who killed Otohime?!" He exclaimed, seeking an answer, and Luffy pointed to Shirahoshi.
"She saw everything," he said finally as he looked at his daughter.
"Why did you never tell me this?" her father said, demanding an explanation immediately.
"It's because mom didn't want more conflict, so I ended up hiding it..." she commented, though she had been cowardly at that time, but she would no longer be so.
Neptune, despite his anger, nodded. "I want all of them arrested," he exclaimed to his soldiers, as they began to head to the bottom of the sea to collect the fallen bodies, "I want Hody Jones and his group personally to be tried!"
"Well, that was quite easy," Luffy murmured, with the threat of the merfolk island being so easily destroyed with just one strike from Shirahoshi.
In the end, Shirahoshi, Zoro, and Robin went to the Ryugu Palace, and Luffy said they would be free to do as they pleased while he ended up going to the Merfolk Island, wanting to visit the place alone.
