It was originally just a sudden whim, and now that he knew he couldn't learn the prophecy, Yi Shuihan didn't insist anymore. He proposed another condition, hoping to glean something from Xia Li's prophecy.

This time, Xia Li agreed, but said that it couldn't be done immediately and that she needed to rest for about three days before having Yi Shuihan come again.

Yi Shuihan wasn't in a hurry, so he agreed.

Next, the group found a seat in the cafe, ordered some of the cafe's specialty drinks and desserts, and quietly watched the mermaids dance.

"what's going on?"

Suddenly, a commotion arose from not far away, and then a group of extremely ugly fishmen, led by a curly-haired fishman, headed straight for Yi Shuihan.

"It's the New Fishman Pirates. What are they doing here?"

"Look, they're heading for those humans."

"Nothing will happen, right? Those humans are accompanied by the eldest prince; they must be important figures among humans."

The New Fishman Pirates are led by Hody Jones, a Great White Shark. He was once a soldier, but after Queen Otohime was assassinated by human pirates, he became a fishman who deeply hates humans and is an absolute racist.

"Hody Jones, what are you doing here?"

Shark Star's expression was extremely unpleasant, and Xia Li, standing beside him, also frowned.

"I heard that some humans have come to Fishman Island, so I came here specifically to see them."

Hody Jones spoke casually, then turned his gaze to Yi Shuihan and the others. However, because Yi Shuihan was sitting a little further back, the first person he saw was Robin.

"What a beautiful human woman! She could be sold to the Sabaody Archipelago for a lot of money."

No sooner had he finished speaking than someone blocked his way. It was Enel. How could he not seize such a good opportunity to show off? He had wanted to prove himself for a long time because of the Dragon Blood.

Before Hody Jones could react, a bolt of lightning flashed, and he fell straight to his knees, his right leg pierced through, emitting a pungent, burnt smell.

Chapter 190, Easily Crushing Hody Jones

Everyone fell silent, staring at Hody Jones kneeling on the ground, and at the person who had made him kneel.

"With such strength, you dare to boast? You're asking for trouble." Enel's expression was extremely indifferent, as if he had done something insignificant, and in fact, that was true to him as well.

Hody Jones may be a formidable opponent to other fish-men, but to him, a former god, he was someone who could be defeated with a flick of his finger.

But I also have to thank this guy, because I got the chance to shine so quickly! As a way of repaying him, I'll let him suffer less.

“Not bad, you’re quite good.” Hody Jones’ tone was very strange, as if he was suppressing his anger. A capsule had appeared in his hand at some point.

"That's... a deadly drug."

Someone recognized the capsule's name, and immediately all the fishmen who knew about it looked at Hody Jones with fear.

The poison is indeed potent; taking it will deplete a person's lifespan. However, in return, one will gain corresponding power. Even an ordinary fish-man can instantly become a minor expert after consuming the poison.

"You forced me to do this, so don't cry later!" Hody Jones said, putting the pills in his mouth without hesitation and swallowing them.

"Gulu!"

The medicine took effect very quickly. Almost the second after swallowing it, an indescribable power burst forth from Hody Jones's body. A moment later, the leg that Enel had pierced had recovered and stopped bleeding. Hody Jones stood up nimbly, as if he had not been injured at all, and his aura was even stronger.

A single dose of this potent drug is enough to nearly double one's strength. Don't underestimate this doubling; it might not seem like much to an ordinary person, but for a fish-man whose strength is already ten times that of a human, this doubling is equivalent to a tenfold increase in strength.

If Hody Jones was someone who couldn't even defeat Enel's priests before, he has now undoubtedly reached the level of a priest, which, in system terms, is equivalent to Iron 5-star, a Major General level existence.

Of course, this doesn't change anything for Enel; he can still defeat him in one move.

"Do you still have that kind of thing?" Enel suddenly asked, looking at Hody Jones, who had recovered.

Hody Jones was taken aback and nodded subconsciously. Realizing what he had done, he glared angrily at Enel, "It would have been better if all humans were dead."

Hody Jones swung his arm and reached for Enel. He was confident in his strength; once he got his hands on him, he could crush even steel.

He successfully touched Enel, but he also failed. The moment his hand touched Enel, a powerful surge of lightning flowed through his entire body.

"Zizzi"

Hody Jones remained frozen in place, his entire body charred black from the electric shock, white smoke billowing from his mouth.

"Boss!!"

The fishmen who had been following Hody Jones gasped in disbelief at what they saw. In their eyes, Hody Jones, who was already incredibly powerful and the strongest fishman besides the one who had left a few years ago, had been defeated so easily.

That's Boss Jones after he took the deadly drug; his strength is even greater than that fishman called Evil Dragon!

"It's a Devil Fruit, he's a Devil Fruit user."

A gasp escaped their lips as everyone recalled what had just happened and stared at Enel in horror.

"Not only is he a Devil Fruit user, but he is also the most terrifying Logia type, Ray's power."

Then a fishman revealed Enel's Devil Fruit ability, which made the already amazed fishmen look at Enel with even greater awe.

On this vast ocean, Devil Fruits represent power. Almost everyone who possesses a Devil Fruit ability is strong, and Logia-type Devil Fruits are extremely rare. Each type of Devil Fruit represents the pinnacle of power, and those who possess such power are undoubtedly the rulers of this ocean.

Furthermore, the fish-men noticed that this Logia-type being had been following Yi Shuihan around like a subordinate. His intervention this time was due to Hody Jones's disrespectful remarks to the woman named Robin. What does this signify?

How terrifying must that man, who is still sitting there so calmly, be? Just thinking about it sends chills down my spine.

"Medicine...medicine..."

Hody Jones’s incredibly weak voice rang out. He wasn’t dead yet, but he was close to death. His hand trembled as he reached towards his chest, his movements incredibly slow and sluggish, like that of a hundred-year-old man.

Before his hand even reached the target, Enel moved, reaching directly into his robes and pulling out a small bag.

"Is this what you just ate?" The bag contained the same dangerous drugs that Hody Jones had taken earlier; there were at least a hundred pills, roughly speaking.

"Give it...back to me."

Hody Jones's voice was weak and feeble, filled with despair. At this moment, he was filled with regret for coming here and provoking these humans.

If he had the medicine, he might have been able to turn the tide, but now that the medicine was in the other party's hands, he was doomed. He had even imagined how many people would laugh at his overestimation of himself after he died, how he went looking for trouble but didn't even have the right to cause any harm to the other party.

The thought of being scorned after his death fueled Hody Jones's resentment, which rekindled some of his energy. He reached for the bag in Enel's hand, moving faster than before, but still only at the speed of an ordinary person.

Hody Jones's hand missed the bag. Enel had only moved back slightly, and his hand was less than 1cm away from the bag, but that 1cm distance felt like two different worlds, and no matter how hard he tried, he couldn't reach it.

"Since you want it so badly, I'll give it to you."

Just when Hody Jones was feeling utterly hopeless, Enel's voice rang out, sounding to Hody Jones like heavenly music.

When he felt a faint touch in his hand, Hody Jones still couldn't believe that the other person had actually given him the bag.

Chapter 191, Annihilation of the New Fishman Pirates

Not only Hody Jones, but all the other fishmen who witnessed this scene were astonished and did not understand what Enel was trying to do.

The drug's power was indeed extraordinary. Hody Jones, who was on the verge of death, simply put the bag of the drug in his mouth and poured it in, and his injuries healed at a speed visible to the naked eye.

"It's definitely a good product, but the side effects are a bit too many."

Even Yi Shuihan had to admit that this deadly drug had its value from a certain perspective.

The second time he took the drug, Hody Jones took about 40 pills. By this time, his body had grown to about 3% larger than before, and he exuded a dangerous aura.

What were originally just some slightly stronger merman soldiers have now become as powerful as a vice admiral; few people would believe it if this were told.

However, having gained such immense power, Hody Jones paid an even more staggering price. His once jet-black hair was now completely white, a sign that he had severely overdrawn his life force, and it was likely that he didn't have much time left.

"It seems that even lethal drugs have their limits, or perhaps Hody Jones's potential is insufficient."

Yi Shuihan noticed that Hody Jones, who had actually consumed so many potent drugs, was strong enough to break through to the level of an admiral, but he did not. The reason for this was either that the potent drugs themselves could not enhance the human body beyond a certain point, or that the degree of enhancement was related to the user.

Hody Jones exuded a powerful aura without restraint, and his eyes could be seen to glow red. At this moment, he was no longer quite clear-headed. The powerful force intoxicated him, and he believed that he was invincible.

Hody Jones was undoubtedly in great danger in this state, and even his own henchmen were quietly distancing themselves from him.

"Human, die!"

Hody Jones looked at Enel and said coldly before launching another attack. This time, the power was completely different from the previous one. His fists created huge sonic booms and even caused a small whirlwind.

However, no matter how strong Hody Jones was, he only possessed pure physical strength, which was completely useless against Logia-type elemental power. His fist passed right through Enel's body without causing any damage.

"Impossible, hoo!"

Hody Jones's eyes blazed red, seemingly devastated by the outcome. His last shred of reason vanished, and he let out a beastly roar. He then began to punch Enel repeatedly.

"bang bang bang"

The pointless attack lasted for a full minute and showed no signs of stopping.

Enel finally lost his patience, and a thunderbird condensed in the void, swooping down towards Hody Jones.

"what!"

Screams rang out continuously as Hody Jones was enveloped in lightning, his body struggling before finally collapsing again.

The aroma of meat wafted from Hody Jones's corpse; this time, it was the one who died.

Enel turned his gaze to the fishmen who had come with Hody Jones, raised his hand, and electricity gathered on his fingers.

"Wait!" Shark Star's urgent voice rang out, "Can you please let them go?"

These fish-people were, after all, citizens of the mermaid kingdom, and Shark Star couldn't bear to see them die like this.

Enel glanced back at Yi Shuihan, but Yi Shuihan remained silent, and Enel understood.

A flash of lightning, and a dozen more charred corpses reappeared in the café. Enel silently returned to his seat.

"Why? Why kill them? They are innocent."

Shark Star glared angrily at Yi Shuihan, as if he would attack if Yi Shuihan didn't give him an answer.

Yi Shuihan merely glanced at Shark Star with indifference and ruthlessness, instantly snapping Shark Star out of his rage. He could sense that if he continued to say anything, he would be the next one to die.

"You seem to have misunderstood something. Do I need to hear your opinion? Just for disrespecting my people, they have no reason to live, or do you want revenge for them?"

"No, I'm sorry, I got a little excited just now."

With Shark Star backing down, Yi Shuihan didn't pursue the matter further. The corpses on the ground were quickly disposed of, but the mermaids present were already distracted. Their dancing movements were still beautiful, but they looked very unnatural, and many mermaids even left the cafe directly.

"Then I'll come back in three days."

Having agreed on a time with Shirley, the group, led by Shark Star, headed straight for the Dragon Palace.

On a huge ship outside Mermaid Island, a four-legged fish-man stares in the direction of Ryugu Castle, holding a giant axe in his hand.

"Little Bai Xing, it's time to say hello again. Come on, I promise I won't miss this time." With that, the fishmen threw the axes in their hands.

The force of the throw was not strong, but the speed of the axe did not decrease at all after it was thrown, as if it was not affected by any resistance.

As Yi Shuihan and his group reached the entrance to the Dragon Palace, an axe flew over their heads with a whistling sound.

"Damn it, it's him again!"

Shark Star cursed angrily, but there was a hint of helplessness in his tone.

"Boom"

A loud crash rang out; needless to say, it was the axe that caused it.

"What was that just now? Who was so bold as to attack Dragon Palace Castle?"

Robin asked curiously, and everyone present except Yi Shuihan looked at Shark Star, clearly very interested in it.

Faced with Robin's question, Shark Star looked somewhat troubled, but finally slowly began to speak, "The thing is, that axe was thrown by a fishman, and every day he throws a weapon, such as a knife, sword, or axe. The target of these weapons is my sister, the mermaid princess Shirahoshi. As for the reason, it's because..."

Shark recounted the entire story of Shirahoshi and Vander Decken IX, the only thing he kept hidden was that Shirahoshi was actually Aquaman.

"That's outrageous! This guy named Vander Decken IX, even though Shirahoshi doesn't like him, he still does this. He's a real scumbag."

Chapter 192, The Adorable Shirahoshi

Women are emotional beings after all. Upon hearing about Shirahoshi's plight, Robin instantly felt sympathy for her and disgust for Vander Decken IX, a guy she had never met before.

"I believe this man should not continue to live in this world."

"Seconded."

"Brother Han, shall we help Bai Xing?"

Shark Star's face lit up with joy. They were powerless against Vander Decken IX, but if Yi Shuihan were to make a move, Vander Decken IX would not survive even if he had nine lives.

Yi Shuihan already disliked Vander Decken IX and intended to help Bai Xing. Since Robin and the others had asked, he naturally wouldn't let them down. He quickly stated, "Help, we must help. Vander Decken IX won't live much longer."

"Boss, please make sure you give this task to me. How can you handle such a small fry? Let me do it." Enel looked like he had nothing to lose, and he really did seem to think he was the best.

This is another opportunity to shine, I absolutely must seize it. For the sake of my dragon blood, Van der Deiken IX, you shall die!

"You're very thoughtful. If you handle this matter well, I'll give you a 10-year supply," Yi Shuihan promised with satisfaction.

Ten years' worth of dragon blood would naturally increase one's lifespan by ten years. Shark Star naturally didn't understand this, but Enel did. His eyes lit up instantly, and he became excited, wishing he could set off immediately to kill that Vander Decken IX.
