"Roar!" An explosion sounded. The pirate ship was directly blown to smithereens. Its remnants scattered everywhere. Thick smoke rose.
Seeing this scene, all the Fish-Man soldiers were dumbfounded. Their eyes wide open, they watched in disbelief.
However, they then turned their heads and looked at Ye Chen with eyes full of awe. Because they knew that if Ye Chen hadn't acted, they would have been fighting these pirates by now.
Once the fight broke out, they didn't know what would happen.
At the very least, all the pirates who came through Sabaody Archipelago were not ordinary fodder. At the very least, they were pirates with bounties of over a hundred million.
Although their Fish-Man bodies possessed great physical strength, this was only compared to ordinary humans.
They could deal with some ordinary people, but when facing pirates with bounties of over a hundred million, they would be trembling.
At the very least, after the battle erupted, casualties would definitely be considerable.
"Cough, cough, cough." Under the smoke, a figure slowly crawled out. He held a large saber in his hand. A violent cough came from his mouth.
When he stood up, he saw the remnants of the pirate ship not far away. He also saw the charred pirate corpses lying scattered on the ground.
His expression instantly changed. His eyes filled with deep rage.
At this moment, he turned around and looked at the nearby Fish-Man soldiers. His face was grim. His murderous intent radiated without reservation.
"You don't need to look at them. I did it." This was Ye Chen's voice.
Hearing the voice, the pirate suddenly turned his head. He looked up at Ye Chen, who was standing on top of Kyogre's head.
"Hmph."
After seeing Ye Chen, the pirate's pupils instantly contracted. His body involuntarily trembled. He even dropped the saber in his hand.
"Why do you look so terrifying? Weren't you very imposing before?" Ye Chen looked at the pirate calmly. His voice was soft, seemingly carrying an invisible power.
The pirate heard the voice, and his legs instantly weakened. He knelt on the ground. His face was filled with terror. He pleaded, "Lord Ye Chen, if I had known you were here, I would never have come to Fish-Man Island."
"Wasn't he very imposing before? Why is he so timid when he sees Lord Ye Chen?"
"Just like a stray dog. His arrogance from just now has vanished."
Seeing the pirate, who was about to grab mermaids and sell them for money, bowing his head and pleading, the Fish-Man soldiers naturally wouldn't miss such a good opportunity for mockery. All kinds of taunts continuously rang out.
The pirate, with his head bowed, heard the voices of these Fish-Men. A trace of maliciousness flashed in his eyes, but he quickly reined it back. He didn't know what relationship Ye Chen had with Fish-Man Island, but looking at the current situation, their relationship was likely not shallow.
Moreover, the person in front of him was a ruthless man. Killing him would be as simple as killing a chicken.
To save his life, he pretended not to hear the Fish-Men's taunts. He merely begged for mercy.
"You want me to let you go?" Ye Chen's face held a gentle smile, like a spring breeze.
The pirate heard this, and a glimmer of hope immediately appeared in his eyes. He looked at Ye Chen with bitter eyes.
"But I hate human traffickers." As he spoke, a faint murderous aura emanated from Ye Chen's fingertips.
A flash of light passed. "Hmph."
Instantly, the pirate's head separated from his body. Blood spewed from his neck, spilling all over the ground.
"Clean it up." Ye Chen looked down at the Fish-Men below. He slowly said, "Yes."
Numerous Fish-Men heard this and immediately responded. Several people came out to clean up the bloodstains on the ground and the scattered pirate corpses.
A long time later, Neptune, followed by a group of people, rushed over at an extremely fast speed.
"Lord Ye Chen, why didn't you notify us when you arrived?" Neptune's eyes lit up when he saw Ye Chen. He immediately jumped off his mount and quickly walked over.
Ye Chen looked at the people behind Neptune, then finally said to Neptune, "Dismiss them. Let's talk in the royal palace."
"You all go back yourselves." Neptune heard this and immediately turned around, waving his hand, and dismissed his subordinates.
The people behind him looked at each other. They had rushed over after a lot of trouble, and now they were called back without doing anything.
What kind of situation was this?
However, they still respected Neptune's orders very much. Hearing Neptune's order, they all dispersed.
"Lord Ye Chen, I wonder if you have anything for us this time." Neptune looked at Ye Chen cautiously. Ever since he learned the news of Emperor's arrival in the New World,
he no longer doubted what Ye Chen had said before. After all, no one could make such a great name in such a short time, nor could anyone mock the Four Emperors in such a short time.
No one could make the Four Emperors submit. Even if the World Government agreed, they wouldn't have such battle achievements.
"You don't need to be nervous. I don't have anything big this time. I just want to see Shirahoshi. You can casually mention to others that Fish-Man Island is under Emperor's protection. I believe no one would dare to challenge Emperor's name. As for Whitebeard, I will talk to him." Ye Chen said slowly to Neptune.
The reason he hadn't directly visited the Dragon Palace before was simply to give Fish-Man Island some face. Or rather, to give Shirahoshi some face. After all, Shirahoshi was his appointed crew member.
"I represent Fish-Man Island in thanking Emperor." Neptune immediately thanked him upon hearing this. With Emperor's current reputation, indeed, no one dared to challenge him.
It could even be said that the Celestial Dragons didn't dare. After all, he knew that Emperor dared to cause trouble even in the Holy Land. Ordinary people didn't know what happened in the Holy Land, but the Celestial Dragons certainly did.
"Hmm, take me to see Shirahoshi." "I'll take you now." Neptune's face was filled with joy upon hearing this. With Emperor's protection, although it couldn't be said to completely eliminate the human trafficking incidents,
Emperor's name also carried an inexplicable deterrent power. At the very least, they wouldn't dare openly act, and even more rarely would they dare to come to Emperor. After all, Emperor was famously protective of his own.
Under Neptune's guidance, Ye Chen arrived at a beautifully decorated, warm room. Inside the room, two Fish-Men were sitting. One was petite, several times smaller than Neptune's size.
Although she was a Fish-Man, her face was very mature. Beside the petite Fish-Man, a pink-haired mermaid sat on the bed, looking at Ye Chen with a hint of curiosity in her eyes.
