The real-time footage broadcasted by the Den Den Mushi was projected inside the Ryugu Palace.
Located in the southeast of Fish-Man Island, hailed as the most prosperous port town of Fish-Man Island, it now looked like a coral hill that had been swept by war.
Although it was in the deep sea, the Fish-Man Bay, empty of any people, could still see the blue sky and white clouds just like on land.
Situated beneath the Fish-Man Bay, the large coral apartments built along the coral reefs.
And the Fish-Man Street, where Fish-Men gathered and many illegal groups operated...
These places, whether or not there were Fish-Men or mermaids present, whenever there was a Den Den Mushi, without exception, real-time broadcasts of what was happening at King's Square were projected.
Through the real-time broadcast footage projected by the Den Den Mushi.
Countless mermaids and Fish-Men saw the tens of thousands of pirates gathered in the square, exuding overwhelming arrogance. They heard Simon's declaration and saw the scene where countless pirates lost consciousness seconds after colliding with Vista and Katakuri's Haoshoku Haki.
The entire process from beginning to end.
Strictly speaking, it only took a few dozen seconds.
So fast and sudden that many residents of Fish-Man Island were left bewildered, not understanding what had happened.
All they could see in the footage were the two figures exuding terrifying arrogance, facing each other.
"What's going on?"
Even so, most residents of Fish-Man Island were still confused.
In the Fish-Man Bay.
This used to be the most beautiful sight on Fish-Man Island, with beautiful mermaids playing and frolicking here almost every moment. But now, because of its location, it had become a gathering place for many foreign pirates. After all, if they were lucky, they might catch beautiful mermaids hiding in the coral apartments under the Fish-Man Bay.
Most of the pirates who used to stay here were mainly slave-catching teams from various shops in the Sabaody Archipelago. Some went to King's Square to make a fortune.
But many chose to stay in the Fish-Man Bay out of curiosity. After all, Big Mom and the like posed no threat to them. Although the various forces they served were reluctant to offend Big Mom's pirate crew, they were not afraid.
Then, as they were trying their luck to catch mermaids, they saw the footage projected by the Den Den Mushi and heard Simon's words.
For a moment, many people were dumbfounded.
Immediately afterwards, they began to take out Den Den Mushis and dial one number after another.
If it were other pirate crews talking, they could easily dismiss it as a joke, but now that it was Simon who spoke, they had to take it seriously because this was a sign of strength, or rather, a fear of power.
Inside the Ryugu Castle, Neptune and the three princes, as well as Fisher Tiger and the Whale Shark brothers, still hadn't recovered.
Obviously, this level of collision had exceeded their cognition, or the display of power by both Katakuri and Vista had left them feeling somewhat hopeless.
Faced with humans, who continued to produce strong individuals, did Fish-Man Island really have a chance?
The hostility and anger towards humans for everything they had done to mermaids and Fish-Men had accumulated over countless years, but when they saw the terrifying collision between the top human pirates, it was constantly destroying their hearts.
And Nicholas looked at the heavy-faced Neptune and others, and said nothing. The world was so cruel that without strength, one could only endure silently.
"Princess Otohime, do you still think Fish-Man Island has any capital to coexist peacefully with humans?"
Hearing Nicholas's words, Otohime fell into silence.
And Nicholas looked up at the sky above Fish-Man Island, his gaze seeming to cross thousands of meters of deep sea, passing through the Sabaody Archipelago, the Red Line, and confronting the figure standing at the top of the world.
In his view, the reason why the World Government was willing to establish diplomatic relations with Fish-Man Island two hundred years ago was simply because there had been no news of the Sea King appearing at Fish-Man Island for hundreds of years after wiping out the blank century, and according to records, the Sea King appeared at Fish-Man Island every few hundred years, summoning a mermaid princess who could call upon sea kings, bringing about huge changes to the world.
As long as Fish-Man Island established diplomatic relations with the World Government, Fish-Man Island would be almost within the grasp of the World Government.
That's also why Imu placed the photos of Luffy, Blackbeard, and Shirahoshi together.
(It's obvious that by looking at that huge straw hat through Im, Luffy has already been associated with Joy Boy, while Blackbeard, with the abilities of both the Dark-Dark Fruit and the Tremor-Tremor Fruit, possesses a threat as significant as that of someone with the initial "D." As for Shirahoshi, being placed in the erased photo implies that Imu has known about her identity as Poseidon, the Sea King, for a long time.)
Fish-Man Street.
Fish-Men of various shapes and sizes stared blankly at the broadcast footage.
It can be said that due to the special environment of Fish-Man Street, it is even more difficult to attack than the Ryugu Palace.
So, after suffering a few losses, many pirate crews had lost interest in Fish-Man Street. After all, ugly and barbaric Fish-Men had far less value than beautiful mermaids.
Watching the two figures in the broadcast footage exuding the arrogance of a deity.
The Fish-Men, who harbored deep hatred towards human pirates, felt a seed of fear growing in their hearts.
"Are those two really humans?"
They looked at Vista and Katakuri in the broadcast footage, and even though they weren't present at King's Square, they could still sense the terrifying oppression through the screen.
Perhaps they would never forget this scene in their lives.
In a building on Fish-Man Street.
In front of the wall, there was an old sofa.
A scar-covered great white shark Fish-Man sat on the sofa, staring coldly at the figures on the screen.
This great white shark Fish-Man was Hody Jones, a well-known Fish-Man supremacist on Fish-Man Street.
"So, our hard-earned 'hatred' has been resolved like this."
Hody Jones looked at the broadcast footage with anger in his eyes, revealing sharp teeth when he gritted them.
Beside the sofa, another supporter of Fish-Man supremacy frowned and said:
"We allowed human pirates to do as they pleased on the island to incite hatred against humans among our compatriots, then planned to eliminate these human pirates with the overwhelming support of the islanders. Now, this has completely disrupted our plan!"
"What should we do next?"
Another Fish-Man asked.
"Wait."
Hody Jones said coldly.
"Wait?"
"Of course."
Hody Jones's eyes were bloodshot, and he said coldly, "We can only wait and secretly accumulate strength. Those fools will eventually understand the disdain humans have always had for Fish-Man Island."
