Chapter 86 Celestial Dragons, Sea kings
The Celestial Dragons really went to Fishman Island?
Who would ever think that would happen? Even though Celestial Dragons are usually not very smart, it's surprising this one is so lacking in common sense.
Fish-Man Island is found in the ocean, 10,000 meters deep. Even though the fish-men are scared of the Celestial Dragons' power and won't attack them, the sea kings and sea beasts don't have that worry.
But, there is indeed a Celestial Dragon in the original story.
Don Quixote Mjosgard.
Similar to Doflamingo, he belongs to the Don Quixote family, and he stands out among the Celestial Dragons. This suggests that the Don Quixote family has more unusual Celestial Dragons, doesn't it?
In the original story, this person did go to Fishman Island because he wanted to recapture his fishman slaves who had escaped.
What could possibly be going on in his mind?
Other Celestial Dragons wouldn't put themselves in danger for just a few slaves.
Ultimately, their ship was attacked by sea kings and nearly killed them in the depths of the ocean. They barely made it to Fishman Island and were saved by Otohime.
At first, he acted just as arrogant and overbearing as typical Celestial Dragons, but in the end, he was moved by Otohime's kindness and agreed to take her to Mary Geoise. He helped her get the Celestial Dragons to recognize their friendship with Fishman Island, which, sadly, also contributed to Otohime's eventual death.
He next appeared after a decade when the Celestial Dragons wanted to kidnap Shirahoshi and sent CP0 to do it. Mjosgard stepped in to stop them, knocked out the Celestial Dragons, and thwarted CP0.
Overall, he is a terrible person who will later be portrayed in a better light.
'Better light?' Brett despised that term.
If an evil person decides to change directions, does that mean the wrongs they committed can be just disregarded? Who has the right to forgive them on behalf of the victims?
Brett paused for a brief moment.
Then he said, "I will head to Fish-Man Island right away. Keep an eye on that guy and make sure he behaves, Jinbei. "
"Returning so quickly? Understood," Jinbei replied. "I'm already on-site. Even if it costs me everything, I will never allow my people to relive the terror of the Celestial Dragons! "
At present, on Fish-Man Island, there are many slaves saved by Tiger.
Brett ended the call and hurried off.
"Celestial Dragons? "
Iceberg, on Brett's back, expressed concern, "Even I've heard of those guys! If they are harmed, an admiral will be sent right away without hesitation. All wrongdoers face severe consequences. Total annihilation. "
"This sounds quite complicated,"
Brett replied coolly, " I'm sorry, Mr. Tom, for bringing you back only to involve you in troublesome matters. "
"Hahahaha, it's not a problem," Tom laughed and shook his head, saying, "Brett, why don't you handle things over there first? I'll take these two boys to Fish-Man Island on my own."
As Brett was about to reply, he found himself momentarily speechless.
There was a noise. A sound was coming from in front, near Fish-Man Island. It was filled with sorrow, fear, and a plea for assistance.
It was a voice calling for help.
Then, more voices emerged from another area in the deep ocean.
Powerful, booming sounds that seemed to echo throughout the sea. They were conversing.
"Your call is heard. "
'Shirahoshi!' Brett quickly grasped what was happening.
The initial sound was Shirahoshi calling out, and the following sounds were responses from sea kings in the deep sea to her plea.
'This is really a hassle.'
"It appears that I have to rely on you, Mr Tom," Brett declared loudly. "I have something crucial to do at this moment. "
He created multiple bubbles and enclosed Frankie, Iceberg and the Frog within them.
"You still remember how to reach Fishman forest, right, Mr Tom? "
Brett transformed back into his dragon form and said seriously, "Please hide there for now, close to that rock. There are many humans on Fish-Man Island at this time. Once I finish my tasks here, I'll come to get you immediately. "
"Just go for it, Brett! "Frankie grinned and replied, "We're still super active even in the deep ocean! "
"Leave it to me! "
Tom chuckled, saying, "I am also a well-known fishman! "
Brett smiled and nodded, then he took off.
Those agitated Sea kings need to be stopped.
Fish-Man Island is no longer the deserted place it used to be. The port is filled with human vessels.
News of the Sea kings uprising will certainly reach the government's notice.
In the original story, Vander Decken could figure out that it was Shirahoshi's plea that summoned the Sea kings, so why wouldn't the Five Eldera be able to deduce that.
Shirahoshi is bound to be in danger.
Although the enigmatic Imu in the original story is indeed watching Shirahoshi.
Brett soared forward toward the source of the Sea King voices. Soon, a massive creature surged ahead in the deep sea.
Even though he was prepared, Brett was still taken aback upon seeing these beings up close.
They were enormous, each of the several sea kings before him measured several kilometers in length.
We're not talking just one or two kilometers; they extended about four to five kilometers.
The size was downright unbelievable. Fish-Man Island lies just over 10,000 meters beneath the ocean's surface. The currents generated by these beasts swimming created tremors throughout the deep sea.
"Stop it! Sea kings! "Brett yelled.
At that, the sea kings froze,taken aback.
A few seconds later, Brett heard a booming voice ask, "Who are you? "
"Why are you able to talk to us? " Another voice responded.
"This is an ability that only the king possesses. "
"I am called Brett, and I'm a fish-man. I can speak with you because I have unique powers. "
Brett, still in his dragon form, returned to his usual look. "I know you heard Shirahoshi asking for help, but don't be impulsive . If you rush over there, her identity will be revealed to humans, putting her in danger! "
"Humans—" The Sea kings paused for a moment in silence.
Brettt then heard the voice once more, "We have to protect the king and wait for the time we agreed upon. "
'Is that the deal made with Joyboy?'
The Sea kings are completely faithful to Shirahoshi, but they won't just follow orders without thinking.
Brett quickly spoke up, "Listen carefully, Shirahoshi isn't crying anymore, right? My friend has kept her safe. "
The Sea kings listened for a bit, and they really didn't hear the earlier call.
"It's true that the king's cries can no longer be heard, but why should we trust you? What if the king has fainted? "
Brett pressed his lips together, agreeing that was indeed a problem. He was unsure about what was happening over there; he simply had complete faith in Jinbe.
"I can vouch for him! " A voice came from behind, and another giant swiftly moved closer.
Even though it is much smaller than these enormous sea kings, it is still very big for Brett.
"Alexander! "Brett exclaimed in surprise.
"Hahaha, the king didn't summon me. I came to battle the strong sea kings, but it looks like I can assist you, my friend! "
The proud deep-sea Warrior, Alexander made a grand entrance.
"Thanks, Alexander!"Brett beamed.
However, does Shirahoshi's call have rankings too?
It appears that way. In the original story, those who reacted to Shirahoshi's subconscious call were all the large and striking Sea kings. In contrast, the more ordinary, smaller sea kings did not show up.
"In any case, I swear as a proud deep-sea warrior, elders, this fishman, my closest ally, Brett is a true and honorable warrior, and he would never deceive you." Alexander announced loudly.
Brett's mouth couldn't help but twitch.
While he was very glad that Alexander had so much trust in him, how convincing is such a statement?
"Is that true? A sea king has really formed a strong friendship with a fish-man."
One of the sea kings slightly nodded, "Then perhaps, as you said, the fishman Brett is telling the truth. "
"Understood, we will pause our actions for now, but we must ensure the king's safety. " The other sea king stated.
They believed him right away, because sea kings don't lie.
"I will bring her to see you later! " Brett replied seriously, "Anyway, you can sense her presence, right? "
"Okay. " The Sea kings nodded.
Brett let out a sigh of relief.
"Alexander, thank you very much for this! " Brett sincerely expressed his gratitude. Without Alexander's endorsement, these Sea kings would have never been stopped.
"Hahaha! True companions are those you can rely on in crucial times! Feel free to count on me, Brett! " Alexander laughed heartily, "Now, go take care of your tasks! I will take care of mine! " He looked at the massive sea kings with intense eyes.
Brett couldn't help but smile, "I'll take my leave then." Changing back into his dragon form, he left without glancing back.
Even with such a significant size difference, Alexander remains so dominant. It is still uncertain who will emerge victorious.
"Alexander, right? We are aware of your intention for being here, but before that, could you tell us about the fish-man Brett? "
Brett was making his way to Fish-Man Island quickly.
Before long, he reached the edges of Fish-Man Island, returned to his human form, walked through the gates amid the soldiers' greetings, and proceeded directly to the port, which was completely empty.
He noticed an old ship anchored at the port, with the World Government's flag waving on it.
"Chief Brett! " A soldier who remained here yelled out, "The Celestial Dragon was taken to the Dragon Palace for care by Queen Otohime. Boss Jinbe also went along. He told us to wait here and let you know. "
Brett nodded, before he quickly went to the Dragon palace. Traveling by the water route, it didn't take long for him to reach his destination.
"Brother Brett, you made it! The Celestial Dragon tried to threaten Otohime with a gun, which terrified Shirahoshi, making her cry. Thankfully, Brother Jinbei intervened. However, he soon fell unconscious from serious injuries and is currently getting emergency care. " Fukaboshi was standing at the gate. He nervously but clearly explained the previous events to Brett, saying, "I will take you to see Boss Jinbei. "
Brett didn't waste words and allowed him to guide him. Outside a closed room, he saw Jinbei, a worried Neptune, and a frantic Otohime pacing around.
When Neptune saw Brett, he felt reassured, and his eyes brightened. But Jinbei stepped forward to greet him.
"The Five elders just contacted us, asking us to make sure the Celestial Dragon is safe. "
The corners of Brett's mouth fell.
News travels fast.
