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

Chapter 252: Remember to Finish the Job When You Fight

The plaza, packed with a sea of people, fell into a wordless silence.

Everyone looked on with disbelief, staring at Nami, who had suddenly appeared and defeated Hody's crew with a wave of her hand.

"Wh-who is she?"

The surrounding citizens, the chained royalty, and the tens of thousands of troops Hody had gathered all had only this one question in their minds.

Who is she?

It all happened too suddenly. From Nami's powerful entrance to Hody's fall, it was so fast that it left no time for anyone to think.

The New Fish-Man Pirates, having lost their officer corps, stood stunned, looking at each other. They were certain the newcomer was an enemy, yet no one stepped forward.

It was as if they were waiting for a leader to step out and shout, "She's just one person! We have a hundred thousand troops!"

But no one stood up. They all stared fixedly at Nami, swallowing hard, their expressions turning wary.

Nami turned her head, swept her gaze around, and wherever her eyes passed, everyone subconsciously took a step back.

"..."

What should I do... this is so awkward...

Standing in the spotlight formed by their gazes, Nami was at a loss, but she still forced herself to remain calm and then cast a pleading look at Jinbe.

"Hey, hey, you're not leaving us any chance to show off. That's too much," Franky teased, leaping down from the cliff.

Jinbe, while secretly shocked by Nami's strength, also quickly rushed down to the plaza and went to King Neptune to untie him.

It wasn't until Jinbe appeared that the people in the plaza reacted.

"Boss Jinbe is here!"

"Didn't they say he was defeated by Hody?!"

"Could it be that that girl is a helper the boss found!"

"So that's it! That's great! Hody has been defeated!"

While the citizens were cheering joyfully, Jinbe also began to introduce Nami to Neptune and the others, praising her to the skies.

The large group released from the prison arrived at the plaza, reuniting with their families and friends with tears streaming down their faces, and then began to explain how they had been rescued by the Straw Hat crew.

The remaining fish-man army had little will to resist. With Hody and the others down, no one dared to make a move against Jinbe. After a moment's hesitation, they wisely chose to lay down their weapons.

"Shirahoshi..."

Thump.

Just as he was untied, the exhausted Neptune fell directly to the ground and pleaded urgently, "Jinbe, Shirahoshi has escaped from the Hard-Shell Tower. Please..."

"Don't worry, Your Majesty," Jinbe just smiled faintly, helped Neptune up, and looked behind him into the distance. "The princess is already here."

Hearing this, Neptune immediately turned his head.

"Father!!"

In the air, a circular bubble enveloped a beautiful mermaid with a red fish tail and long, light pink hair under a cute, round face.

Shirahoshi swam over quickly, and seeing Neptune's state, she couldn't help but shed tears.

"Sob, sob, are you alright, Father!"

Shirahoshi buried her head in Neptune's embrace. While the father and daughter were immersed in the emotion of their reunion...

At the side, Robin and the others, who had regrouped with Nami, were all looking at this mermaid girl.

"So this is the mermaid princess."

"She's as beautiful as the rumors say."

"I really want to see... ah, that's right," Brook came to his senses, a lewd blush appearing on his skull. "Mermaids don't wear panties, yohohohoho~~"

"Nami! Chopper! Everyone, you're all here!"

Just as Nami and the others were marveling at Shirahoshi's beauty, a familiar but untimely voice suddenly came from her.

Before their shocked eyes, a head suddenly poked out from Shirahoshi's long, pink, shoulder-length hair!

"Hee hee hee, I'm here."

Luffy revealed half his body, stood on Shirahoshi's shoulder, and waved at Nami and the others. Then he patted her head and said with a cheerful laugh:

"Let me introduce you. This is Crybaby-hoshi, a friend I just met."

"Why are you here!!"

Bang!

Nami delivered a flying kick, landed, and directly grabbed Luffy by the collar, baring her teeth and cursing angrily, "You idiot! Every time I blink, you disappear! Do you know how worried we were?! Go to hell, you bastard!"

"Hey, wait a minute!" Luffy didn't have time to panic before a massive fist came crashing down.

Bang!

"I know I was wrong, Nami!"

Bang! Bang! Bang!

After a round of education with fists and feet...

"Sumimasen~~" Luffy knelt on the ground, his face bruised and swollen, his hands placed obediently on his thighs.

Princess Shirahoshi looked at Luffy with a weak, worried voice, "Are you alright, Lord Luffy~~"

"He's fine, don't worry," Nami said irritably, her hands on her hips.

Fortunately, he didn't cause any trouble this time. Otherwise, I would have skinned him alive!

"Your Majesty, they are the Straw Hat crew."

Just then, Jinbe came over with Neptune. "This is the captain, Monkey D. Luffy. It seems he has already met Princess Shirahoshi..."

He first introduced Luffy, then introduced Nami and the others one by one.

The Neptune Army, just rescued from the prison, ran over. Neptune chatted with Luffy and the others while they bandaged his wounds.

They learned that after Luffy had taken Shirahoshi out of the Hard-Shell Tower, the two had encountered Vander Decken IX, who was chasing them on a flying axe.

The result, naturally, was that Luffy beat him up in a few moves.

After a round of thanks, Neptune immediately said he wanted to hold a banquet at Ryugu Palace to welcome the heroes.

"Are we having a banquet!" Hearing there was food, Luffy was overjoyed and readily agreed.

"But, how come Reiner and the others aren't here yet?"

Nami frowned. "Even if they walked, they should have arrived by now. Could they have been held up by someone?"

Just then.

A huge shadow swept across the land, quickly enveloping the entire Fish-Man Island.

"Eh, is the weather changing?"

"Does it rain underwater too?"

Everyone subconsciously looked up. At this moment, everyone was instantly frozen in place.

"Th-that's..."

"Y-you've got to be kidding me."

"How could..."

A ship that blotted out the sun, so large that its full form was difficult to see, descended from the sky!

"How can there be such a big ship!!"

In the entire plaza, everyone's mouths were wide open, their widened pupils trembling with uncontrollable terror.

Neptune's face was pale, his hands clenched tightly in his sweaty palms, his throat bobbing. "That's... Noah..."

"Hey, that's not the point! If that ship falls, the entire Fish-Man Island will be destroyed!" Franky said in shock.

"We can't breathe in the water! We'll all die here!"

"What on earth is happening!"

"The only one who could do something like this is probably him," Neptune's expression was grim as he gritted his teeth and squeezed out a name. "Vander Decken IX!"

"The guy who made Crybaby-hoshi live in a tower?" Luffy's expression was grave.

He was already defeated, yet he still won't give up.

Above, outside the giant bubble enveloping Fish-Man Island.

Four figures in life-saving bubbles floated below the path of the descending Noah's Ark.

"What's a cool way to make an entrance?" Reiner rubbed his chin thoughtfully.
