Continuing where we left off.
When I heard Jimbei's revelation, I immediately sat down on the floor and leaned my spine against Sunny, because I know this is going to be long.
💭Here we go with the long stories.
Basically, Jimbei reveals to Nami that he was the one who sent Arlong to invade her home and turn her life into hell. Obviously Sanji was ready to kick the fish man, but he holds back for now.
Jimbei says that Fishman Island lived for days in times of chaos caused by humans, even though the government declared a peace treaty for both races, this did not prevent the persecution of the Fish Men.
Chaos only stopped inside the Island when Whitebeard declared that the place was his territory, which helped the fishmen a lot, but not enough.
As a result, Shirahoshi's mother, who is in favor of breeds getting along well, kept trying her best to solve these problems. While this is happening, the people themselves decided to take justice into their own hands.
This is how Jimbei and Arlong's crew was formed to put an end to this oppression. It was Jimbei's captain who rescued Boa Hancock and her sisters from the hands of the Celestial Dragons and it was he who took care of a child named Koala who in the future became Sabo's partner.
But unfortunately the captain ended up dying and the tribulation separated, Arlong became spiteful and Jimbei didn't stop him even though he knew it would have consequences.
All of this worsens the situation of the Queen, who is increasingly failing in her attempt to have peace. When a Celestial Dragon was on the Island, obviously he almost died and was only saved by the queen, but at the same time this awakened Shirahoshi's hidden power to control the Sea Kings or as the government calls it: "The ancestral weapon Poseidon".
After that, the Queen got a letter from the government declaring that they were going to the surface to live with humans, but that was the day that Shirahoshi's mother was killed and that her brothers had to hold back the pain of loss and make her little sister wouldn't lose control and destroy the Island.
I know this because I already reached this part of the anime, so I ended up falling asleep and sleeping through the entire speech, Luffy also slept through the entire conversation.
I only wake up when I receive a slap in the face and the person who did it was Nami, as Sanji kicked Luffy, waking him up.
- Wake up, Saito!!!! - Nami shouted, making me angry to hear her shouting.
- Can you turn down the volume? I was having a good sleep. - I say this while yawning, which only irritated Nami more.
- I expected that from Luffy, but not from you either! You're a Yonko so at least act like it! - Nami shouted angrily.
- Look, I know I can be considered a Yonko due to my visit to Alabasta, but that wasn't my intention. - I say this while still a little dizzy.
- Don't tell me he was infected by Luffy's idiocy? - Sanji said, looking scared at having two Luffys in the same place.
- I wish I had a medicine to cure idiots. - Chopper commented, irritating Luffy.
- Hey! I'm not an idiot!!! - Luffy shouted.
Chopper/Sanji/Nami: YES YOU ARE!
********
After that, a slug that in this world serves as telephones or TV appears near us and starts a transmission from the villain who served as a guinea pig to see how strong Luffy and Hody Jones became.
He started talking about killing Neptune and his family, going against what Shirahoshi's mother was doing, going after the people who signed the migration paper to the surface and showing humans that they are inferior. I didn't give a shit about what he was saying and just paid attention when he mentioned me.
- It's finally.... I have a special message for a pirate who decided to enter the island. The genocidal Pirate known as "Midori no Akuma" (Green Demon in JP) The Yonkou Saito Tatsumaki! He decided to bring the Straw Hats along with him. So I'm going to show you something interesting. - Hody said, showing Zoro, Usopp and Brook trapped in a cage.
- I know you and the rest of the Straw Hats are watching somewhere on the island. The Straw Hats that destroyed Arlong's dream, which was a symbol of the Fishmen's fury. - Hody said.
- Ohh look, they managed to catch Zoro, Usopp and Brook. - I say this without a hint of concern.
- AT LEAST SHOW SOME KIND OF EMOTION, SAITO! - Shouted Chopper.
The broadcast shows the room where the trio is filling with water and Brook and Usopp are immediately scared and Zoro doesn't seem to care much.
- Until we execute the King, this room will be flooded. Inferior creatures like you wouldn't survive that, would you? Saito Midori no Akuma his reward of 4 billion. The heads of his companions will serve as a lesson for the humans on the surface. - Hody said.
He ends by saying that the invasion to the surface will begin in 3 hours. When the broadcast ended it was very silent, so I decided to speak.
- Hey.... - I say this drawing everyone's attention.
- The pride I feel in seeing my reward of 4 billion is very good! Hahahaaa... - I say that laughing, but I receive a shoryuken from Nami.
- This is not the time for that!!! - She said.
- Probably the Navy tried to cover up the true number of your reward to calm the public, but when you were seen in Alabasta, it ended up forcing them to show the truth and how feared by the Navy you are, Saito. - Jimbei said.
With that, all the Straw Hats agreed to go after Hody and make him pay for the provocation, but Jimbei stopped them, telling us not to interfere and for Shirahoshi not to go after her father alone.
Luffy obviously didn't like this at all and insisted on saving his gang and ending Hody, but Jimbei wouldn't allow that, telling him not to get into fish men's problems so as not to increase the hatred between the races. This ended up resulting in a fight between the two, with Jimbei "winning" over Luffy and he and the princess went after Neptune.
- Saito, you're going after them, aren't you? - Said Luffy, getting up from the ground.
- Yes, I promised her on the way here that she just needs to shout my name and I will appear. - I respond with arms crossed.
- Okay, then we'll go get Zoro, Usopp and Brook and meet with you. - Luffy said, getting serious. - It's okay, captain. Hody will probably capture them both on the way, so I hope you Nami can get the key for Robin to free them and the Celestial Dragons letter. - I say this taking everyone by surprise by how I'm guessing this.
- How do you know that, Saito? - Sanji asked.
- Well let's say that my observation Haki lets me predict the future, so it allows me to know about things that can or will happen. - I say this with a smile.
💭Well I didn't use my observation Haki, I'm just using it as an excuse that I know exactly what's going to happen.
- Then we're going to attack Hody by surprise! Guys, let's finish off Hody! - Said Luffy.
************
Narrator's view
While the Straw Hats are starting their plan, Hody is causing chaos on the island and beginning preparations for the royal family's execution.
Shirahoshi's brothers tried to attack Hody, but their attempt was futile and they were captured. After that Shirahoshi and Jimbei were captured as Saito said and Hody started torturing the Princess' family to make her scream. Hody, seeing that this isn't helping enough, decided to reveal that he killed his mother.
This news came as a shock to everyone, but Shirahoshi already knew this thanks to his best friend, Megalo, who told the princess everything that happened. Hody took advantage of this to blame Shirahoshi for her mother's death, making her feel very sad. With that Hody decided to start the execution starting with Neptune.
Meanwhile, Madam Sharley is the woman who has predictions that are always true. She predicted that Saito and Luffy would destroy the Island, not Hody, and that's why the Straw Hats were frowned upon by the people.
- Madam Sharley! - Said a trio of children, catching Sharley's attention
- Tell me! When will the pirate Midori no Akuma come to destroy the Island?! Tell me! When will be?! - asked a child desperate for any solution.
- I don't know. Everything I know will happen in the future. It could be tomorrow, or a year from now. - Sharley said.
- I want him to come now... If they create a mess now, we'll have problems, but those villains will have problems too, right? - Said the boy crying.
- I also want him to appear with the others! I don't want them to kill the King! - Said a girl crying.
Sharley didn't have an answer for that because she herself made the Straw Hats and Saito also the enemies of the Island, but she didn't expect to see that all the people who are against Hody's ideas started shouting Hody's name. Saito and calling the Straw Hats for help.
Hody found this very clueless coming from the people, but he ignored it and started saying that with the death of Neptune a new era of fish men will emerge like what happened with the Pirate King Roger. He even said that he will be the one who will become the new King of the pirates.
Having said that, Hody takes out a sword and prepares to cut off the head of the King of Fishman Island. Shirahoshi, seeing this, begins to get very nervous, not wanting to repeat what happened in her mother's death. Immediately she remembers Saito's words when she was inside Megalo.

Mini flashback
***********
Shirahoshi: Saito-sama, you said you'll protect me, didn't you?
Saito: Hmm? Yes, of course I said that. Why the question?
Shirahoshi: S-so you promise I can call you to h-help me? (Shy)
Saito:Okay, I promise I'll help you. All you have to do is shout my name and I will appear quickly in the blink of an eye. Hehehe...
Saito💭Well that is until I stay on this island...

End of Flashback
***************
With that on her mind, Shirahoshi only had to do one thing before she lost her father.
At the moment the sword is going to his Father's neck, Shirahoshi opened his mouth holding back as many of his tears as possible.
- PLEASE!!! SAVE MY FATHER! SAITO-SAMA!!!!! - Shirahoshi shouted as loud as she could.
The moment everyone heard the princess's scream something unexpected happened, Hody's sword was stopped and the villain received a punch in the face from none other than Saito himself, at the same time Shirahoshi called him.
Saito's punch sent Hody flying straight into a wall completely destroying her the moment she hit the wall and all the Island's citizens are shocked.
- That is..... Saito o Midori no Akuma! He really showed up!!! - Said the citizens of the Island.
At that moment, many things happened the moment Saito appeared. The brothers were freed by Robin who got the key given by Nami who also got the letter from the Celestials, doing exactly what Saito said.
- Looks like I didn't miss much. Are you okay Shirahoshi? - Saito said looking at the princess who is crying too much to respond.
- I take that as a "yes". - Saito said a little awkwardly.
At that moment the ship Sunny appears in the sky and Franky immediately threw the ship's cannon beam towards the wall making a huge explosion, that was enough for the whale that serves the King to head towards his master and the princes.
- Princes! Get your father and get out of here!!! - Saito said shouting and the Princes do what the Yonko said, riding the whale that flies away.
While this is happening Sunny lands on the ground and the Straw Hat gang left the ship and Saito goes to them.
- Hey, Midori no Akuma! Are you really going to destroy the Island together with the Straw Hats?! Why did you occupy the royal palace?! Do you also want to kill the royal family?! Were you the ones who kidnapped the mermaids?! Hey answer! Are you friends or enemies of Fishman Island?! Answer, Midori no Akuma!!! - Shouted the citizens of the Island, confused by what Saito is doing and he just smiles and laughs loudly, looking like Whitebeard.
- Am I your friend or enemy? I don't care what you think, I'm just here fulfilling a promise, after all..... I'm just a pirate for fun! - I say this with a happy smile on my face.
