One Piece: Shadow monarch? I'm Just Logistics!

Chapter 249: Negotiate My Ass

Before long, as Jinbe swam straight into Fish-Man Island, passing those few fish-men, the leading fish-man in the suit took out a bubble-wrapped Den Den Mushi from his pocket.

While keeping an eye on Reiner and the others, he communicated with the other side for a few sentences, then gave a teasing smile and waved his hand, beckoning two of his subordinates to ride their sea beasts over.

"Hey, you lot."

Hammond, a moray eel fish-man with a long neck and sharp teeth, stood on the head of a giraffe sea beast, looking down at them and tossing down the Den Den Mushi in his hand.

"Our boss, Hody, has something to say to you."

Thud—Thud!

The Den Den Mushi fell on the deck. Seeing that no one was picking it up, it stood up on its own, mimicked the expression on the other end, and spoke with a grim face:

"Straw Hat crew, I am Hody, captain of the New Fish-Man Pirates. Arlong was defeated by you, wasn't he?"

"What do you mean?" Sanji said calmly. "Didn't Jinbe say we wouldn't fight until the negotiations were over?"

"Negotiations? Tch-hahaha! Negotiate my ass!"

The other end of the Den Den Mushi laughed arrogantly for a while, then said with a sneer, "I've already heard from Hammond. That traitor actually妄想 to lead us down the old path of Queen Otohime."

"The result of the negotiations is already out! Either he joins the New Fish-Man Pirates, or he dies with King Neptune! There are no other possibilities!"

"As for you..."

Click!

"Dori dori so so."

Before Hody could finish, Zoro directly hung up the Den Den Mushi, drew a sword from his waist, and looked coldly at Hammond and the other few fish-men.

"We were just asking to confirm that it's okay to fight."

"You're courting death!"

Anger appeared on Hammond's face. "Big brother Hody was going to spare your lives and let you submit to the New Fish-Man Pirates as slaves! You ungrateful lower race!"

"Attack!"

Hammond shouted, drew his long whip, and urged the sea beast under him to attack. "Crush their ship!"

"Roar!"

The three sea beasts roared, and one whipped its tail over, bringing a surging current that made the ship unable to stabilize and begin to shake.

Reiner didn't move. Someone else had already couldn't hold back and charged up.

Zoro was as fast as a fleeing rabbit. He didn't even use a life-saving bubble and just plunged out of the ship's coating.

Floating in front of the ship, he held his three swords ready, a fine stream of bubbles emerging from the corner of his mouth. He gave a cold smile, twisted his body in a circle, and swung his swords!

"Three Sword Style: Tatsumaki!"

An even more violent sea current spiraled up. A momentary vacuum vortex was even created around Zoro, deflecting the massive fish tail that was striking at him.

"To actually come out of the ship's coating, what an idiot."

"Doesn't he know that the water is the fish-men's domain?"

Hammond and the other fish-men mocked, grabbing their weapons and diving down at extreme speed!

"A lower race that can only adapt to the ground! Let me show you the difference between us!"

Hammond led the two fish-men, attacking Zoro from three directions!

"That idiot," Sanji scoffed at Zoro, then bent his legs slightly, pushed off, and holding a bubble coral, charged out of the ship's coating.

When fighting in the water, compared to overcoming the resistance of the water, breathing was the biggest limitation for them.

Sanji blew a bubble to envelop himself, while at the same time kicking the seawater repeatedly with his feet. His body was like a swimming dragon, his speed no weaker than a fish-man's.

"Catch!"

After throwing the bubble coral to Zoro, Sanji shot past him and rushed straight for the three sea beasts.

No matter how restricted the Moss-head was, it was impossible for him to be helpless against such small fry.

As expected, the next moment.

Zoro unhurriedly swung his swords, and three sharp, green flashes cut through the heavy seawater and flew out!

"108 Pound Phoenix!"

Squelch! Squelch! Squelch!

The three fish-men were instantly shocked. Before they could even turn to evade, the sound of flesh being torn open reached their ears!

"H-how is this possible!"

Before Hammond's disbelieving eyes, his chest seeped dark scarlet blood from the intense pain, dyeing the seawater before him red.

A human, defeating a fish-man in the water with a casual strike?!

How can the difference in strength be this great...

Hammond's eyes rolled back, and he gradually lost consciousness.

"My apologies. I don't have a weaker move than this," Zoro said with a cold smile as he slowly sheathed his swords.

"Zoro!!"

Looking at his back, Chopper's eyes shone with a golden light. He then jumped forward, imitating Zoro's sheathing motion, and said in a low voice:

"My apologies. I don't have a weaker move."

"So cool!"

Chopper covered his blushing face with his hands and twisted his body in excitement.

On the other side.

"Glug glug glug~~"

"Mmph!"

Zoro choked on a few mouthfuls of water, immediately covered his puffed-up mouth to hold his breath, caught the bubble coral, and quickly blew a bubble.

Sanji, meanwhile, had reached the sea beast. A heavy kick descended from above and chopped down on its head!

"Collier!"

Bang!

The heel slammed down, instantly forcing the giraffe sea beast's head down dozens of meters. Its eyes spun into spirals as it fainted.

"Poitrine!"

"Joue!"

Bang! Bang!

Sanji swam at high speed, delivering a kick to each of the remaining two sea beasts. The two beasts had no power to resist.

After easily dealing with the few fish-men, the two swam back to the ship.

"All settled. Let's split into groups. You guys will be in charge of the frontal assault to draw their fire. As for the infiltration..."

Sanji lit a cigarette, scanned the group, and said in a low voice, "Leave it to me, Nami-san, and Robin-chan."

Bang!

Reiner kicked Sanji onto the ship's rail. "Who taught you to group like that? Let me, Nami, and Robin..."

Bang!

Nami, her face dark, kicked Reiner next to Sanji on the rail and ordered him directly:

"You drive the ship, and Luffy, Zoro, Sanji, and Usopp will all go for the frontal attack."

"Ah, got it," Reiner said with a dejected face.

"Two idiots."

Zoro scoffed and turned his head to shout, "Hey! Luffy, we're setting off!"

No response.

"Where's Luffy?"

"Eh?"

"Wasn't he here just now?"

The group stood in a line, looking at the empty seabed on the side of the ship, and fell silent...

Robin rubbed her chin thoughtfully. "Could it be that his bubble popped, and he drowned alone in an unmanned corner?"

"What!" Chopper's face turned pale with fright. He held his head and ran around in a panic.

"What do we do, what do we do!"

"Shut up, you idiot reindeer."

Bang! Reiner stuck out a foot and tripped Chopper.

He released his Observation Haki, and his perception spread out like an invisible tentacle. He finally detected a presence in the far distance.

"Over there," Reiner said, tilting his chin towards Fish-Man Island.

A small figure was seen plunging into the double-layered bubble that enveloped Fish-Man Island.

Then the life-saving bubble around him was peeled off, and Luffy's entire person fell from the air layer in the middle.

Vaguely, a panicked "—Ah!" could be heard floating over from there.

"He acted on his own again!!"

"Does he even listen to people!!"

"Idiot captain! Idiot, idiot!"

Veins popped on the foreheads of Nami and the others as they yelled, baring their teeth.

"Don't worry, let's go too," Reiner said, completely unruffled.

It's Luffy, after all. This is normal.

He's just going to trigger the plot.
