Chapter 275: 274 Noah Ship Coming
After the death of the Minister of Chocolate, all his chocolate-related creations disappeared, even his house and everything else disappeared.
As these were crafted by him using chocolate, they all disappear simultaneously, leaving no trace behind.
After dealing with the Chocolate Minister, Shirahoshi felt a great sense of relief. She quickly exclaimed,
"Okay, go to Hodie Jones now."
"No rush, first, let's take care of the Big Mom's pirate here"
Whitebeard said calmly.
Even though the Minister of Chocolate represents the Fishman Island on behalf of Big Mom, Whitebeard is furious. He intends to confront all of Big Mom's crew who have arrived at the Fishman Island.
The only reason is that the Minister of Chocolate is too arrogant, using his fruit ability to assist Hodie Jones right in front of everyone.
Whitebeard wants everyone to understand the consequences of making him angry, so that those who do will regret it deeply.
Afterward, Whitebeard didn't want to take Shirahoshi; so he quickly arrived at the fishman island's docking area.
These are mostly ships belonging to the residents of Fishman Island. However, there's also one ship from Big Mom, accompanied by some of her subordinates crew members.
They stayed here the whole time because they needed to repair and maintain their ship. They didn't even know about the death of Minister Chocolate.
However, unbeknownst to them, the reaper had silently appeared.
Whitebeard's vibrations, at that moment, resembled the scythe of a reaper. They not only knocked down the entire ship but also brought destruction to everyone aboard and the surrounding sea.
Originally Whitebeard wanted to keep one person and let him report the letter to the Big Mom, but even if he didn't report, the Big Mom would know sooner or later, so he didn't do anything extra.
After solving these problems, Whitebeard returned to Shirahoshi's side, and then he was ready to deal with Hodie Jones.
However, they discovered that Hodie had vanished without a trace, and his whereabouts were unknown.
"He escaped when we were about to go to the chocolate minister. I have no idea where he went".
"Fukaboshi-sama said he requested the Royal army to announce his arrest, but we still have no leads"
Added Shirahoshi.
Because Hodie could not be found, Whitebeard and Shirahoshi returned to the Ryugu Palace.
...…
The situation on Fishman Island has been fully stabilized now. Van der Decken IX has been arrested, and both his and Hodie Jones' pirate groups are under control.
Whitebeard has dealt with the chocolate envoys sent by Big Mom, and now Hodie Jones is the only one who managed to slip through his watch.
However, The fishman island has been tightly controlled by the Royal guard. Hodie Jones has no way to escape, and it is only a matter of time before he's found.
Initially, Whitebeard intended to leave Fishman Island. After all, the crisis had been solve, and the remaining situation was something they could handle on their own.
And he himself was delayed for so long, it was time to go back to preside over the overall situation, and now Whitebeard doesn't know what's the situation with Marco and other commanders.
However, being cautious, Whitebeard chose to eliminate Hodie Jones entirely before departing.
Neptune had been urging Whitebeard, expressing concern that Hodie Jones might cause destruction to Fishman Island. These worries make Whitebeard take decisive action.
Even though no one knows for sure that Hodie Jones possesses such abilities, the concern persists, and there's uncertainty about how he might resurface.
Indeed, the crisis unfolded as expected. Urgent reports from the Royal Guard at Ryugu Palace revealed that Hodie Jones had somehow managed to set Noah's ship into motion, though the method remained unknown.
However, it wasn't just a regular motion; instead, Noah's ship can caused a massive impact, threatening to destory Fishman Island entirely.
"Hodie Jones, this guy actually used Noah's ship!" Neptune shouted nervously, his brain was blank.
Noah's ship is as large as half of Fishman Island. Even if it doesn't directly damage the island, the powerful destructive force it generates is sufficient to shatter the island's massive bubble film.
Without the protective bubble membrane, Fishman Island will be entirely submerged and destroyed by the sea. It's an unimaginable disaster.
"How is it possible? How did he manage to move Noah, it's so huge!"
Shirahoshi was too nervous to speak, filled with endless doubts at the same time.
The ministers at Ryugu Palace couldn't believe it either because Hodie Jones was just a powerful fishman with no Devil Fruit abilities.
He has no ability to move Noah's ship, let alone use it to strike Fishman Island.
Shaking Noah's ship might not have seemed possible, but now, this fact is evident to everyone.
The chaos spread quickly across Fishman Island. In the vicinity of the Noah's ship impact, all the residents had already turned away.
Even so, the people still felt despair. Despite the seemingly slow approach of the massive Noah's ship, time was unforgivingly ticking away.
"What should we do? Is Fishman Island going to be completely wiped out?"
"It's over, Fishman Island is surely going to be destroyed, and we'll all die."
"How could this happen? Is there no way?"
"What can we do? That's Noah's ship; who can stop it?"
All the residents on Fishman Island were responding very negatively. In such an environment, no one could display an optimistic attitude.
Noah's ship's arrival also caught the attention of Marine crew on the battleships, but they weren't positioned directly in the path of Noah's impact; they were on the side.
"Hey, look at that, what's that big black spot?"
On the Marine battleship, a bored soldier leaning against the mast suddenly noticed something and spoke up.
Later, more and more soldiers gathered, surprised to find that it was actually a huge ship.
"Damn, this is terrible! Who's responsible for this?"
"With something that big, if we go charging in, Fishman Island might be done for."
"The ruler of Fishman Island, what can they possibly do?"
"If they can't stop it, we'll be affected too."
"No doubt about it. It's best to retreat now. At this distance, the whole army will be wiped out."
At this time, someone expressed doubt: "But, if we retreat now, we're going against orders. Whitebeard instructed us to stand guard here and not to move."
Although the order is like this, most people always want to escape and will not be in danger.
"Listen to what Whitebeard said. You're a Marine, don't forget your identity!"
