48: Chapter 48 Wang Lufei's Undercover LifeBack on Fishman Island, Luffy, having hung up on Garp, was completely sober.After all, what could be more sobering than being scolded twice in a row?
After regaining his senses, Wang Lufei carefully placed the Den Den Mushi in his arms and sat down in a chair to think for a while.
Then he changed his body shape and appearance, dressed up as a fishman, and disguised himself as an ordinary-looking crucian carp fishman to sneak out of the palace.
Actually, this wasn't the first time he'd gone out like this; he'd started doing it as early as the fourth day after arriving on Fishman Island.
The purpose was to eliminate some unnecessary hidden dangers.Specifically, it was to mark those die-hard merfolk like Hody Jones, so that they could be wiped out at the same time when Hody Jones' assassination began, thus preventing future troubles.
Because these fishmen will definitely go into hiding after Hody Jones's assassination attempt fails, if they are not marked and eliminated as soon as possible, it will be a significant hidden danger for the later subjugation of Fishman Island.
Although Wang Lufei disguised himself as a seemingly ordinary crucian carp-man, he created an identity that was extremely confusing to fish.
He claims to be a survivor of a former fishman pirate crew that had been stranded overseas.He came here to gather fishman pirates who share his deep hatred and use extreme power to launch a counterattack against humanity and take over the shore.
So even though Wang Lufei had only been there a short time, he had already gained a considerable following of crazy followers thanks to his exceptional physical skills and passionate speeches, and had become quite famous among the extreme fishmen.
He also obtained a list of many extreme fish-man rebels through this identity, regardless of rank, gender, or age.
All those incorrigible, crazed fishmen have their names in his hands, just waiting to expose Hody Jones's assassination plot and then wipe them all out.
Besides trying to calm his crazy underlings, he also wanted to investigate the extreme fishmen hiding deep within one last time.
Wang Lufei's investigation revealed that Hody Jones's actions were actually orchestrated by them, with the aim of manipulating the fishmen's extreme emotions to do what they wanted.
The counterattack against humanity was a ruse; their true aim was to seize the Neptune throne and usurp it.If Hody Jones hadn't acted on his own initiative and assassinated Otohime, they probably would have succeeded.
Moreover, they are very well hidden and do not easily show themselves.They always instruct their subordinates to convey their messages.Wang Lufei only knows that such a group of people exists, but he has never seen them.
A few days ago, Wang Lufei, with his modest fame, gained the praise of one of these big shots.He had his subordinates give Wang Lufei a mission: to kill 1,000 humans within three days.
After the deed is done, hand over the ears of these 1,000 humans to him, and he will meet with Wang Lufei to receive a reward.Wang Lufei knew this was the so-called pledge of loyalty, and he agreed.
He also needed to take this opportunity to pick up Kuina, and the Sabaody Archipelago had no shortage of pirates; he could easily gather those 1,000 people by taking down a few pirate crews.
Looking back, after Wang Luffy disguised himself as someone from the palace, he immediately sped off to the gathering place of Fishman Street thugs.
Looking at the gathering place not far away, King Luffy, carrying a bag of ears on his back, strode arrogantly over and said to the tiger shark guarding the gate:
"Chris, open the door and let me in.Don't keep me waiting, or I'll have to watch out for your fins.I've been wanting to take them off and make wine for ages."
Chris, the burly tiger shark-man, swallowed hard as he looked at the ordinary yet bloodthirsty carp-man in front of him.He quickly stepped aside, opened the door, and said timidly, "Lord Tang, you look even more imposing than before.Please come in."
Tang is the alias that Wang Lufei chose for his identity.
After being praised by the tiger shark man, Wang Luffy didn't care at all, and walked straight in without looking to the side or raising his head.
The shark man at the door watched Wang Luffy leave and carefully wiped the sweat from his forehead.After all, Wang Luffy had acted too crazy in order to gain fame inside, and he was completely ruthless.
One of the catfish-men guarding the door saw the tiger shark-man staring blankly and said, "Stop spacing out.Chris, close the door."
Once inside, Wang Lufei ignored what others thought and strode arrogantly to the small territory he had built up.
The mad henchmen, who were operating in the territory, saw their boss return and shouted, "Those who aren't dead, wake up!The boss is back.Come and assemble in the square right now!"
Upon hearing the shouts, almost all the fishmen in Wang Luffy's territory put down what they were doing and came to the square.
Even many fish-men who were engaged in the fish-making movement ignored the mermaids in front of them and came to the square together like conjoined twins.They only pulled out the sticks after they had all gathered in the square.
He then pulled up the pants he was holding without any embarrassment, waiting for Wang Lufei to come over and give him a lecture.
It seems absurd, but in reality, they were terrified.Wang Lufei had previously established a rule that he needed to count the number of people every time he came here.After all, everyone who followed him was a madman, and if he wasn't kept a close eye on them, they would cause him trouble.
The reason why his underlings acted so quickly was not only due to Wang Luffy's reputation, but also largely because of the initial act of making an example of him.
Because Wang Lufei set this rule when he first arrived, although the underlings all obeyed it on the surface, some of them were very slow to arrive.
This was clearly a provocation against Luffy, and Luffy, without any hesitation, directly killed the dozen or so fishmen who arrived late.
From then on, even merfolk who were doing private things would come to the plaza as quickly as possible without hesitation.After all, even madmen have a death wish, so everyone got used to it.
Then Wang Lufei was among the crowdHe stepped onto the platform under fearful gazes and began his passionate speech, though the content consisted mostly of meaningless pronouncements about defeating humanity.
The fishmen below were still getting excited, and a few even crushed one of their testicles in their excitement.However, they didn't know how to transform into Luffy's elemental form; instead, they collapsed to the ground in pain, clutching their groins and rolling around.
Wang Lufei quickly finished his speech, showing no interest in the farce unfolding before him, and walked towards the microphone of the important figure who had been attracted to the scene.
Looking at the gentlemanly Yugan fish-man in front of him, Wang Lufei took out a bag of ears from his back and handed it to him, saying, "My mission is complete.Can you take me to see Sir Gao now?"
"Sir Gao" was the code name for that important figure; that's what outsiders called him.The gentlemanly fishman took Wang Luffy's backpack, looked inside, and said with satisfaction, "Of course, esteemed Lord Tang.Please follow me."
And so, the oil-scented fish-man led Wang Luffy through a maze of twists and turns to the edge of Fishman Street, where they boarded an underwater vehicle and sailed for half an hour to a secluded villa.
Then the gentlemanly fishman got out of the car and gestured for Wang Luffy to go to the villa in front of him, which was the residence of the so-called Sir Gao.
Looking at the rather luxurious villa in front of him, Wang Lufei took a deep breath and stepped inside.
