But the raws of wild razor teeth didn't bite Akuma, instead it stopped at a meter distance from him.
Akuma saw a red ball of energy form in front of the open mouth which aimed at him.
*Boom*
The red energy ball with the loud shout, beamed at Akuma. As it hit him, Akuma was blown back in a huge arc.
*Boom*
Hitting on the hard coral reefs and breaking them into smaller pieces, Akuma's body laid on a crater.
"What devil fruit ability was that?"
Akuma slowly got up and gazed at the tall Fish-Man who stood straight with a frown.
"Whatever it is, it's very useful. I need to get my hands on it."
Akuma cracked his neck and walked forward towards the Fish-Man.
"Tch."
The Fish-Man clicked his tongue. Leaning forward, he opened his mouth again to fire another shot.
"Not again."
This time, Akuma vanished in the air. The Fish-Man moved his eyes around but was unable to see Akuma.
On top of that, the Fish-Man had not learned any kind of haki yet.
"Ah!"
A hand grabbed the Fish-Man's neck and lifted him up a few centimeters above the ground.
"No haki and dared to fight off against me? Are you an idiot?"
Akuma looked at the struggling Fish-Man and asked with a bit of confusion.
Was he a joke?
"Ahge!"
As Akuma increased his strength on his hand, the Fish-Man had his face turned purple.
But movements were caught by Akuma's observation haki.
"Your devil fruit will be mine to us."
Akuma threw the Fish-Man to the water and pointed at him with his index finger.
On the Devil's Contract, Irish nodded her head and understood what Akuma tried to signal.
Pirates were sent by Irish to get the Fish-Man on board.
"Devil!"
A loud roar was heard from a few hundred meters away. A small army of Fish-Men soldiers marched with weapons.
A huge black whale shark was floating in the air with a large man on the top.
The king of the Ryugu Kingdom on Fish-Man Island, King Neptune, a coelacanth merman.
Beside him were his three sons, Fukaboshi, Ryuboshi and Manboshi.
'Where's Jinbe? Is he already in prison?'
Akuma stared at the army with some tiny little questions.
"Did you come here to invade because Whitebeard was fighting a war with the Big Mom Pirates? Do you think I will let you do so!"
King Neptune looked furious and completely in rage, but his eyes saw the defeated Fish-Man from before.
"No! Fuss!"
The three sons of King Neptune were shocked because they knew how strong the Fish-Man, named Fuss, was.
"Attack! Don't let him leave the Fish-Man island!"
King Neptune commanded as all the soldiers stormed through the coral reef to attack Akuma.
"Die!"
The soldiers threw spears at Akuma but not a single one pierced his skin.
"Hhaaa!"
The rest slashed at Akuma while using various Fish-Man techniques.
Swords, spears, fists and kicks rained at Akuma only to push him back.
"None of you are strong enough!"
With just a swing of his hand, tens of soldiers flew in the air.
Each punch from Akuma, crushed bones while also ripping some flesh apart.
"You!"
Fukaboshi, Ryuboshi and Manboshi together with King Neptune, attacked.
Yet… the results were not in their favor. Akuma wiped the ground clean with only his raw strength.
His impenetrable body was like a wall which couldn't be climbed.
"Come on!"
Akuma leaped in the air and brought his fist down on King Neptune's face.
*Bam*
King Neptune was grounded, his upper body went in the cracks of the crater.
"Father!"
Fukaboshi spun his spear and launched at Akuma at a terrifying speed.
"Useless!"
Akuma clenched his left hand into a tight fists and punched at the spear.
The sea stone spear hit, cracked and burst into pieces together with the wooden handle.
Akuma's fist then made contact with Fukaboshi' head which curved in with impact.
"Brother!"
Ryuboshi and Manboshi watched as Fukaboshi was killed by Akuma's punch.
"Ahhh!"
They both charged madly at Akuma, only to get kicked and slammed.
Ryuboshi was shot on the left coral reefs while Manboshi was on the ground.
Akuma took a deep breath and joined his hands into a bigger ball of fists.
The ball of fists came down on Manboshi's chest which was immediately crushed.
His eyes popped out of the sockets because of too much pressure in the body.
Manboshi's condition was worse than the senior soldier who fought Akuma before.
"N-No! Ahh! Brother!"
Ryuboshi could only cry for his brother, his left hand was already broken from the bones.
Even getting up had now become so difficult for him.
Akuma walked over to Ryuboshi and stared down at him, who laid between the cracked corals.
He raised his left hand in the air towards the side of the ships.
*Boom*
Something was shot from a cannon, from the Devil's Contract.
*Grab*
The thing was caught by Akuma, it was none other than his favorite metal bat.
"You will rot in hell!"
Ryuboshi said with full anger in his voice. Next was a big metal bat hitting his skull.
Cracking his skull in fragments of bones, red blood flowed out like a river with various fluids.
"Captain! What next?"
Coming to the land, Irish asked. She was still holding the device in her hands.
"Send Rocky to the Fish-Man District. Gather all the criminals. Others follow me."
Akuma started walking as behind him followed Irish, Lancelot, Beauty, and more than half of the pirates.
Their current destination was the nearest port town, Coral Hill.

Ryugu Palace___
It is the royal palace of Ryugu Kingdom on Fish-Man Island. King Neptune, Princes Fukaboshi, Ryuboshi, Manboshi, and Princess Shirahoshi live here.
It is apparently located in the smaller bubble that sits on top of the main bubble surrounding the island.
"La la la la! Where's everyone? Hello!"
Walking with a special oxygen supplier on his mouth, Joker hummed his way.
He checked the throne room and the front yard but not a single person was there.
"What's that!"
Joker stared at the huge tower on the northeast side of the palace, the Hard-Shell Tower.
"Hehe!"
Joker looked around the corridors but didn't find anybody until he reached the Hard-Shell Tower.
It was very huge, yes for Joker that was.
"Ohh there's someone here!"
Joker hid behind the wall and watched as three soldiers stood guard before a gigantic door.
"What can be in there? Treasure? Weapons?"
Joker turned back, his face revealed a grin. Suddenly, his body vanished from the spot.
*Bam*
The fighting noise was heard, and soon only Joker was left standing with a tired body.
The soldiers had multiple cut and stab wounds, a dagger was in Joker's right hand.
"Fuu! I am exhausted!"
Joker said with a weak face but definitely showing a smile with some blood flowing out of his cut lip corners.
"I am very curious!"
Joker stood in front of the gigantic door as he rubbed his palms together in anticipation.
"What's behind this door!"
