Am I going to die...
Lying on the ground, Vander Decken was filled with unwillingness.
He was just one step away...—
If not for that Blood-Eyed Ninja, Shirahoshi would have already been killed by him.
But unfortunately... there are no "ifs" in this world.
Thinking of this, Vander Decken silently sighed.
At that moment, with his vision already blurry, Vander Decken sensed someone appearing beside him, then felt a warm current entering his body.
It was precisely this warm current that made him feel his consciousness clearing up considerably.
"How is it, Lord Meiser?" Prince Fukaboshi asked nervously, looking at Vander Decken. "Can this guy hold on until Shirahoshi leaves the range of Fish-Man Island?"
Hearing this, Meiser fell silent for a moment, then shook his head and said, "The probability is very small."
Although he had used Chakra to temporarily slow the other's rate of death, it was only for a brief moment.
It probably wouldn't be long before this man died.
"Then..."
Prince Fukaboshi's expression changed as he wanted to say something, but didn't know what to say.
"Don't worry, I'm here."
Even if Vander Decken were to die right now, he had a way to ensure this ship wouldn't fall onto Fish-Man Island.
"Blood-Eyed Ninja..."
"Oh?"
Hearing Vander Decken's voice, Meiser showed a surprised expression, then looked down at Vander Decken and said:
"Have you regained consciousness?"
Vander Decken didn't answer the question verbally, only giving Meiser a confirming look as his response.
After all, his current condition didn't allow him to speak much, so he didn't intend to waste words.
"It seems this method has some effect," Meiser said.
Although it couldn't change the fact that Vander Decken was about to die, at least it could slow down the process a little.
"Why are you still alive?" Vander Decken voiced the doubt in his heart.
This man had clearly died two years ago, so why was he here now?
And why had he been controlled by just a single glance from the other?
At this moment, Vander Decken was filled with confusion.
"The World Government simply couldn't kill me," Meiser said calmly.
He didn't feel like explaining more to Vander Decken—after all, he had no obligation to explain his abilities to him!
Seeing that Meiser wasn't particularly interested in discussing this matter, Vander Decken gave up on probing further.
Then, he let out a bitter laugh and slowly closed his eyes.
He had accounted for everyone, but he hadn't accounted for this Blood-Eyed Ninja.
If he had known this one was on Fish-Man Island, he wouldn't have made an enemy of the Straw Hat Pirates.
After all... he truly couldn't win.
Seeing Vander Decken close his eyes, Prince Fukaboshi's expression immediately changed. "Is he dead?"
"No."
Meiser glanced at Noah's movement and said, "This ship is still ascending, so he's not dead yet."
Although Vander Decken's vitality was indeed continuously draining, at least he was still alive for now.
"That's good..." Prince Fukaboshi sighed in relief.
Then, Prince Fukaboshi looked down at Vander Decken and said, "Vander Decken, you better stay alive a while longer."
"That's not something I can decide, big brother..."
"Who's your big brother?!" Prince Fukaboshi roared, opening his shark-like mouth.
This bastard who had been harassing Shirahoshi actually dared to call him big brother?
How shameless!
If it weren't for the fact that this guy was about to die, he would definitely have given him a slash.
Just then, a loud explosion suddenly came from the ship's cabin not far away.
"BOOM!!"
Then, Hody, who had been sent flying by Luffy, walked out of the cabin, his expression looking extremely ferocious.
"Straw Hat Boy..."
Holding his abdomen, Hody said angrily, "I'm going to kill you!"
"If you can do it, then come and try!"
Luffy glared fiercely at Hody, his expression equally furious.
He wouldn't let go of this guy who dared to hurt Merry!
"You'll find out," Hody said.
Although that strange bubble gave this Straw Hat Boy the ability to move underwater, there was no way his mobility could surpass his own.
So... this time, the winner would definitely be him!
Thinking this, Hody sneered coldly, then prepared to attack Luffy.
But before he could make a move, he spotted Meiser not far away.
"Hmm?"
"What is that guy doing?"
Staring at the green light in Meiser's hand, Hody immediately frowned.
Although he couldn't understand what it was, his intuition told him that this thing might affect his plans.
Thinking this, Hody grabbed a handful of seawater and launched an attack at Meiser in the distance.
"Arrow-Shaped Shark!"
"Swish"
"Swish"
"Swish"
The next moment, a barrage of needle-like attacks flew toward Meiser and Vander Decken, looking as if it would turn them into sieves.
Seeing this, Luffy rushed without hesitation to stand directly in front of Meiser. Taking a deep breath, he inflated himself into a large balloon, while infusing Haki into his body.
"Rubber Bone Balloon!"
"Thump!"
"Thump!"
"Thump!"
"Tch..." Hody spat in disgust and said, "Another guy who likes to meddle."
And why does this guy always have to say "rubber" all the time?
Rubber, rubber... so annoying!
"Don't you dare attack them!" Luffy, having returned to his normal size, glared fiercely at Hody and said, "Your opponent is me!"
"Hmph, that's not for you to decide," Hody snorted coldly.
He really wanted to deal with the Straw Hat Boy right now, but... making Vander Decken lose consciousness was even more important!
After all... he needed Noah to crash directly onto Fish-Man Island!
"It seems I'll have to bypass the Straw Hat Boy first," Hody muttered to himself.
Shirahoshi had already started moving sideways. If she managed to leave the area above Fish-Man Island...
Then Noah crashing down would be meaningless!
Thinking this, Hody instantly vanished from his spot.
Luffy's eyes changed upon seeing this, then he swiftly charged toward Meiser's side.
The next moment.
"Boom!!"
Their fists collided fiercely, immediately churning the seawater!
"Such terrifying power," Prince Fukaboshi thought in astonishment.
Although Hody had gained only false strength, the combat prowess he displayed was somewhat horrifying.
Then, Prince Fukaboshi glanced at Meiser, who hadn't moved at all, and thought, "Does Lord Meiser trust Straw Hat Luffy this much?"
He hadn't moved even once from start to finish...
No, to be precise... he hadn't even glanced at Hody!
What immense trust this was!
"Damn Straw Hat Boy, don't get in my way!" Hody roared angrily.
"I won't let you pass!"
Luffy responded to Hody with a roar of his own, as if using this method to express his determination.
"How pitiful, Hody..."
As if experiencing a final surge of clarity, Vander Decken's eyes suddenly regained their lucidity.
Then, he turned to Hody and said, "You probably don't know who you're facing, do you?"
Upon hearing this, Prince Fukaboshi's expression immediately changed.
Was this guy planning to reveal Lord Meiser's identity?
Thinking this, Prince Fukaboshi reached out to cover Vander Decken's mouth.
But Meiser shook his head at him and said, "It's fine."
"Even if those two find out, it won't matter."
After all... he had no intention of letting Hody and Vander Decken survive today!
Prince Fukaboshi fell silent for a moment upon hearing this, then withdrew his outstretched hand.
Since Lord Meiser had said so, he wouldn't do anything unnecessary.
Vander Decken, meanwhile, gave Meiser a surprised look, clearly not expecting him to say such a thing.
But upon remembering the other's strength, Vander Decken understood.
Right, both he and Hody would die here today, so there was no need to worry about this secret being leaked.
"What do you mean?"
Hody looked up at Vander Decken and said, "Explain yourself clearly."
"I have no interest in telling you such things," Vander Decken laughed loudly. "After all... I'm looking forward to you joining me on the journey, Hody!"
"Gahahahaha!"
"Gahahahaha!"
Vander Decken's laughter grew louder and louder, his expression becoming increasingly exaggerated.
Then, he laughed uproariously and said to Hody, "Hody!"
"I'll be waiting for you in hell!"
"Gahahahaha!"
After this final burst of laughter, Vander Decken's body suddenly stiffened, and his eyes completely lost their light.
This meant... Vander Decken was truly dead!
"Is he... dead?" Prince Fukaboshi said with a grim expression.
"Yes."
Meiser, having withdrawn his hand, looked up at Noah, which was gradually ceasing its ascent, and said, "Vander Decken is dead."
With such severe injuries to his body, surviving this long was already a miracle.
"But Noah..."
Watching Noah gradually descend, Prince Fukaboshi's expression turned completely pale.
Didn't this mean... Noah would crash directly onto Fish-Man Island?
"Noah, having lost Vander Decken's ability, will definitely fall," Meiser stood up and said. "But I'm here, so don't worry."
Upon hearing Meiser's words, Prince Fukaboshi instinctively nodded. Although he didn't know how Lord Meiser would handle it, since he said so, it must be possible!
Meanwhile, Hody burst into loud laughter at this moment.
"Sha ha ha ha ha!"
"That bastard Vander Decken is finally dead!" Hody roared with laughter. "This is great!"
Although things had developed somewhat beyond his expectations, as long as Noah crashed onto Fish-Man Island, that was enough!
Sha ha ha ha ha! Hearing this, Luffy instinctively glanced outside and noticed that Noah was indeed beginning to descend.
However, Luffy didn't pay too much attention to this, because Meiser had said he would solve the problem, so it must be possible!
"Pretending to be calm won't help!" Hody sneered, looking at Luffy and Meiser. "Straw Hat Boy, Sunglasses Man!"
"Your companions will soon die on Fish-Man Island!"
"And you... will die here too!"
"Sha ha ha ha ha!"
"You can talk after you defeat Luffy," Meiser said calmly.
With that, Meiser turned to look at Prince Fukaboshi and continued, "I'll leave this to you. I need to inform my main body about what's happening here."
"Alright, I understand," Prince Fukaboshi nodded.
Although he couldn't play a crucial role in this battle, at the very least... he could provide cover!
"Mm."
Meiser nodded, and his body transformed into white smoke, disappearing on the spot.
This scene left Hody stunned.
"What's going on?" Hody frowned. "Why did that man suddenly disappear?"
Was it his Devil Fruit Ability?
Could the Moku Moku Fruit achieve something like this?
And what exactly did that guy Vander Decken mean?
What had this guy experienced before I arrived?
After pondering for a while and failing to understand, Hody decisively gave up thinking.
Then, he turned his gaze to Luffy and Prince Fukaboshi, grinning widely. "Forget it, it doesn't matter. My goal has already been achieved."
"Sha ha ha ha ha!"
"Next, it's your turn, Straw Hat Boy!"
"Prince Fukaboshi!"
The destruction of Fish-Man Island was already inevitable, so... all he needed to do now was eliminate these troublesome individuals!
"Hody..."
Looking at Hody's twisted expression, Prince Fukaboshi said with a grim face, "Why are you so cruel?"
"To defeat us, you're even willing to destroy Fish-Man Island..."
"Have you forgotten that you still have subordinates on Fish-Man Island?"
Aside from the thirty thousand human slaves Hody had captured, there were also seventy thousand warriors from Fish-Man Island!
Did Hody really not care at all?
"There are indeed my subordinates on the island, but... so what?!" Hody said coldly. "As long as I can eliminate troublesome enemies like you, these sacrifices are worth it!"
"Besides, I'll capture more human slaves in the future, so I'm not worried about running out of people."
"You're truly ruthless..."
Sacrificing tens of thousands of people so casually... is this the Hody of today?
"How can I take revenge on humans without being ruthless!"
He knew all too well how humans treated the Fish-Man race, so... he would use the cruelest means to deal with those damned humans!
"Sha ha ha ha... Are you done talking?"
"Huh?"
Glancing at Luffy, whose expression hadn't changed at all, Hody asked suspiciously, "Why don't you look the least bit panicked? Your crewmates are about to die."
With his crew on the verge of death... why was this guy still wearing that expression?
Could it be that, like himself, he was the type who didn't care about his subordinates?
Thinking this, a hint of mockery flashed in Hody's eyes—this guy really was a brutal pirate after all!
"Sha ha ha ha... My crewmates won't die," Luffy said. "Because this ship will be stopped."
"How is that possible?"
Hody retorted, "Vander Decken is already completely dead, so... no one can stop this ship!"
It wouldn't be long before the Straw Hat Pirates and Fish-Man Island were both destroyed!
"I said, this ship will be stopped."
Hody: ?
Hearing Luffy's words, several question marks instantly popped up in Hody's mind.
Why would he say something so strange?
Suddenly, a thought occurred to Hody.
Could it be... that the Straw Hat Boy was referring to Shirahoshi? Hody thought to himself.
Recalling the events of ten years ago, Hody's gaze grew serious.
If that woman used her ability to summon the Sea Kings... Noah really could be stopped!
At this thought, an intense killing intent surfaced in Hody's eyes.
"I understand what you mean now," Hody said coldly, turning to look outside. "You plan to rely on that woman Shirahoshi's ability to summon the Sea Kings to save Fish-Man Island, right?"
"Sea Kings?"
Luffy was taken aback. What Sea Kings?
Did Crybaby Star have the ability to summon Sea Kings?
Meanwhile, Prince Fukaboshi frowned and looked at Hody. "What do you intend to do?"
"Of course, to stop her!"
Hody sneered. "As long as I can kill that woman, you'll lose your last hope~"
"Sha ha ha ha!"
As soon as he finished speaking, Hody's figure vanished from the spot.
Sensing his location, Luffy immediately turned to the side and shouted, "Stop right there, you!"
"Gomu-Gomu Jet Pistol!"
"Bam!!"
A fist imbued with Haki slammed hard into Hody's raised arm, forcefully sending him flying backward.
But instead of getting angry, Hody gave Luffy a mocking smile.
That expression seemed to say: You fell for it... Straw Hat Boy!
"Not good—he's using your force to escape your attack range," Prince Fukaboshi's expression changed. "Quick, we need to find Shirahoshi!"
If Hody interferes with Meiser's plan, it'll be trouble."
With that thought, Prince Fukaboshi rushed to Luffy's side, grabbed him, and immediately turned to dash outside.
"Hey, I can move on my own," Luffy said. "I'm not slow in the water now, either."
As he spoke, Luffy jumped out of Prince Fukaboshi's grip and whooshed away in a flash.
This left Prince Fukaboshi momentarily stunned.
However, after only a moment of stunned silence, Prince Fukaboshi snapped back to his senses and swiftly swam toward Shirahoshi's direction.
He needed to reach his sister's side as quickly as possible!
"I didn't expect Vander Decken to die so quickly..." Meiser frowned.
It seemed the plan to delay his death using Medical Ninja Technique was no longer feasible.
"What, Vander Decken is already dead?!" Prince Manboshi exclaimed in shock. "Then doesn't that mean Noah will—"
He suddenly stopped mid-sentence, because he noticed that Noah was indeed slowly descending!
"Oh no!" Prince Ryuboshi cried out in terror. "Noah is going to crash down!"
Damn it, they ultimately failed to move Noah away after all...
"Then... what do we do now?"
Watching the gradually descending Noah, Shirahoshi panicked completely.
If that ship crashed down... her father and everyone on Fish-Man Island would die!
Meiser, who was treating Merry with his head lowered, spoke without looking up upon hearing this. "Then we'll just use another method."
"Another method?"
Several question marks seemed to pop up above Shirahoshi's head. She really wanted to know what other method Meiser-sama was referring to. "What do you mean?"
"Using my Ninjutsu, I should be able to move this thing away."
After saying this, Meiser paused for a moment, then raised his head to look at Shirahoshi and said, "Of course, if you can summon the Sea Kings, you could achieve the same thing."
As he spoke, Meiser's eyes began to gleam.
If Shirahoshi could really do such a thing... this seemingly delicate and fragile young girl would gain the power to protect Fish-Man Island.
For Shirahoshi, this would be a good thing.
Upon hearing this, Prince Manboshi and Prince Ryuboshi exchanged a glance, then turned to Shirahoshi and said, "If Shirahoshi really can summon the Sea Kings, then she could indeed move Noah away."
But... could their crybaby sister really accomplish such a feat again?
"Summoning Sea Kings or something..."
Shirahoshi waved her hands frantically. "I can't do it, I really can't."
She had never communicated with Sea Kings before and had no idea how to summon those creatures.
Meanwhile, Merry looked up at Meiser and said, "Are you planning to have Shirahoshi-nee master this power so she can protect Fish-Man Island?"
"If Shirahoshi can master this power, then a situation like today won't happen again in the future," Meiser replied.
After all... the strength of the Super-Giant Sea Kings was truly terrifying.
"That's true, but..."
Merry glanced at Shirahoshi, who was so anxious that tears were welling up in her eyes, and said, "Shirahoshi-nee doesn't seem capable of mastering this power right now."
She's practically on the verge of crying from panic...
"She has to try eventually," Meiser said.
If she never attempts to use this power, when will she ever fully master that ability?
She can't rely on others every single time.
Merry pursed her lips. She too wished for Shirahoshi-nee to master the ability to summon Sea Kings, but the problem was... it seemed quite difficult.
"Meiser-sama, my matter can wait until later," Shirahoshi said urgently. "For now, please save Fish-Man Island first."
Her affairs are of no importance, as long as Fish-Man Island can be saved.
"That's right."
Prince Ryuboshi and Prince Manboshi also spoke with anxious expressions: "Lord Meiser, if you have any method, please act quickly."
"If we're late, Fish-Man Island will..."
The thought of what would happen if Fish-Man Island were struck by Noah made the two men's faces turn pale.
Seeing that everyone had spoken up, Meiser didn't bring up helping Shirahoshi awaken her abilities again.
Then, he glanced down at the gradually descending Noah and said, "Let's stop this thing first."
As he spoke, Meiser activated his Mangekyō Sharingan.
"Clang!"
With his eyes now blood-red, Meiser stared intently at the distant Noah and murmured, "To stop such a massive Noah, we need a Water Release Technique powerful enough or in sufficient numbers."
Otherwise, it would be unrealistic to halt a ship half the size of Fish-Man Island.
After a brief moment of thought, Meiser made his decision.
"Wood Release: Wood Clone Technique!"
"Whoosh!"
"Whoosh!"
"Whoosh!"
In the next instant, dozens of clones shot out from Meiser's body, landing steadily in the sea.
These clones then activated Water Release: Dance of the Swimming Fish, granting themselves the ability to move underwater.
Meanwhile, Meiser himself used the Pupil Techniques 'Takehaya Susanoo-no-Mikoto' and 'Kishuto Goryouson' to restore his condition.
Once he had recovered, Meiser released more Wood Clones.
In this way, a large number of Wood Clones soon appeared around Meiser!
"This... so many?!" Merry exclaimed in shock as she looked at the clones.
She had never seen Meiser create so many clones before.
"Lord Meiser, are you planning to use these clones to stop Noah?"
Watching Meiser continue to release clones, Shirahoshi said in astonishment, "But the size difference is too great..."
Even if Lord Meiser created tens of thousands of clones, they wouldn't be able to lift Noah, after all... this is a massive ark capable of accommodating all the residents of Fish-Man Island!
"I never said I was going to use my physical body to hold this thing back," Meiser replied. "That would be too foolish."
It was unrealistic to rely solely on physical strength to drag Noah, as he lacked the colossal size of the Sea Kings!
Upon hearing this, Prince Manboshi seemed to understand something, his eyes lighting up as he said, "Could it be... you plan to use that Water Release Technique from earlier?"
If every clone could unleash a Water Release Technique of that caliber, then... it might be possible to rely on these clones to halt Noah!
At this thought, Prince Manboshi grew excited.
Prince Ryuboshi also understood Prince Manboshi's meaning, his expression becoming equally animated.
"Something like that," Meiser nodded.
Using his own Susanoo to destroy the ship wouldn't be a problem, but lifting it was somewhat unrealistic.
So... he had no choice but to use a Water Release Technique to deal with this behemoth.
"Then we leave it to you, Lord Meiser!!"
Meiser nodded and continued releasing Wood Clones to ensure the ship could be stopped.
Just then, a figure appeared in the sky above the group.
"Hmm?"
Hody, who had taken in the scene below, was instantly covered in question marks.
Where did all these people come from?
And they're all wearing the same clothes...
"Wait!"
Hody suddenly realized, showing a shocked expression as he said, "Could these guys all be clones?"
But isn't this number a bit too exaggerated?
There must be hundreds of figures here.
Did that Sunglasses Man do all this?
Glancing at Meiser, whose body was still producing clones, Hody's eyes filled with astonishment.
"Not good, Hody is here!"
Noticing Hody, Prince Manboshi immediately drew his weapon and said, "Prince Ryuboshi, prepare for battle!"
"Got it!"
Understanding Prince Manboshi's meaning, Prince Ryuboshi immediately drew his personal sword.
Then, he floated up side by side with Prince Manboshi, staring intently at Hody, clearly intending not to let him disturb Meiser.
"You think you two useless fools can stop me?" Hody snorted coldly. "Don't dream!"
If Straw Hat Boy were here, he might have been cautious, but these two? Forget it.
With a cold snort, Hody instantly vanished from his spot.
When he reappeared, he was already right in front of Prince Manboshi and Prince Ryuboshi.
"What...?"
Seeing Hody suddenly appear before them, Prince Ryuboshi and Prince Manboshi's pupils shrank to the extreme.
Why is this man's speed so terrifying?!
"I told you, you're no match for me," Hody sneered.
As he spoke, Hody raised his weapon and attacked the two.
"Clang!"
"What..."
Seeing the wood clone that had caught his weapon with a mere lift of its hand, Hody's pupils instantly contracted.
Just a clone blocked his attack?
What kind of terrifying strength is this?
If hundreds of clones attacked together... he might be at a disadvantage!!
"We... we're saved..."
Prince Manboshi and Prince Ryuboshi sighed in relief.
If not for Meiser, their bodies would have been pierced by Hody's weapon.
Thinking of this, they immediately felt immense gratitude toward Meiser.
"Human, what exactly is going on with you?"
Hody stared intently at Meiser, who was treating Merry, and said with a grave expression, "Why do your clones have such strength?
"And so many of them..."
His subordinate, Ikaros, also had the ability to create clones, but he could only make one clone using ink, and its strength wasn't impressive.
But this human...
What exactly is going on here?
Seeing that Meiser didn't answer his question, Hody angrily shouted, "Hey, answer me, human!"
"You..."
Before he could finish speaking, he noticed the look in Meiser's eyes as he glanced at him, which made his words catch in his throat.
Then, he exclaimed in shock, "These eyes..."
Looking at those familiar blood-red eyes, Hody felt as if his heart had stopped.
If he remembered correctly... these are the eyes of that legendary Blood-Eyed Ninja!
Why does this man have such eyes?
Is he of the same clan?
Or...
No... wait!
As if realizing something, Hody's eyes widened.
"If I remember correctly, the Blood-Eyed Ninja has the ability of hypnosis," Hody thought to himself. "That must be why Vander Decken ended up in that state earlier."
Combined with what Vander Decken said afterward and the clones he was seeing now...
This person might truly be the Blood-Eyed Ninja himself!
Thinking this, Hody trembled as he raised his finger and pointed at Meiser, saying, "You... you are the Blood-Eyed Ninja, aren't you!"
"It seems you're not entirely foolish," Meiser replied calmly.
After receiving this confirmation, Hody's face immediately turned somewhat pale.
He still had confidence fighting the Straw Hat Boy, but the Blood-Eyed Ninja...
Could he really defeat him?
Glancing at the clone that had effortlessly blocked his attack with a mere raise of its hand, Hody felt utterly overwhelmed.
How could he possibly fight this?
But as soon as he thought about his own situation, Hody tried to force himself to calm down—after all, he had no way out now!
Yet, the moment he remembered his opponent was the Blood-Eyed Ninja, he couldn't keep himself calm.
So, he pulled out a large handful of Energy Steroids from his pocket and stuffed them into his mouth. Relying on the power of the drugs, he dispelled the fear in his heart and made himself even stronger!
Feeling the surge of power within his body, Hody's expression twisted with intensity.
"Blood-Eyed Ninja!"
Hody glared at Meiser and said, "Although you are a hero of Fish-Man Island and a legendary figure, it's a pity... you're a human."
"So... even if you are a hero of Fish-Man Island, I will still kill you!"
"Sha ha ha ha ha!"
At this moment, Hody didn't care whether Meiser was a hero of Fish-Man Island or not. As long as his opponent was human, he had to die!
All humans must die!
Sha ha ha ha ha! Watching Hody, who had become somewhat twisted from taking the drugs, Meiser shook his head and said, "Your opponent is Luffy. I have no interest in fighting you."
He had no interest in battling this distorted creature now—he still needed to help treat Merry.
As for Hody?
Luffy said he would handle it, so let him handle it!
Upon hearing Meiser's words, Hody's face immediately darkened.
What did he mean?
Could it be... that he wasn't even worthy of making the other person take action?
Thinking this, Hody's expression grew even uglier.
Just then, Luffy's roar echoed from the distance.
"Hody!!"
"Straw Hat Boy!!"
Turning to look at the charging Straw Hat Boy, Hody's expression instantly turned ferocious.
If that's the case... then he'd just kill the Straw Hat Boy first!!
With this thought, Hody immediately changed direction, intending to head over and take down the Straw Hat Boy!
Seeing this, Prince Manboshi worriedly said, "Lord Meiser, the Straw Hat Boy, he..."
Hody had already become somewhat inhuman in appearance. Could the Straw Hat Boy really handle it?
"Leave it to Luffy," Meiser replied calmly.
A character like Hody was definitely no match for Luffy, so Meiser didn't pay much attention to him.
Then, he turned his gaze to Fish-Man Island below.
"I wonder how things are down there..."
