章 265: 264 Ryugu Palace
Whitebeard's powerful Conqueror's Haki suddenly burst forth, sending shockwaves rippling outward like water waves.
However, this majestic and powerful conqueror wave instantly subdued all the pirate guards in front of the Ryugu Palace, leaving them stunned on the ground.
Whitebeard entered the palace with satisfaction, and upon hearing the commotion, some pirates inside gathered to see what was happening.
"What happened? What's causing this commotion?" someone asked.
"I don't know, feels like an earthquake."
These individuals quickly noticed Whitebeard. However, just as they were about to sound the alarm, they were stunned and rendered motionless by an overwhelming force.
"Some shrimp dared to stand in my way," Whitebeard said casually.
In addition to these pirates, members of the royal family trapped in the Ryugu Palace, as well as ministers, and others, all heard the commotion.
Whitebeard continued forward, freeing some trapped princes along the way, including King Neptune's other two sons, Ryuboshi and Manboshi.
"Ah, thank you for saving us. Who are you?" Ryuboshi expressed gratitude to Whitebeard.
"Do you know where the king is now?" Whitebeard asked rhetorically.
"The king? He is my father. He is trapped in his bedroom. I will take you there now," Ryuboshi said humbly
So, guided by Ryuboshi, Whitebeard quickly made his way to Neptune's palace, subduing any pirate guards they encountered along the way.
Whitebeard quickly arrived at Neptune's palace, effortlessly overpowering the pirate guards, leaving them stunned, and successfully freeing Neptune.
"Are you the king of Fishman Island?"
Whitebeard asked upon seeing Neptune.
While Fishman Island was under Whitebeard Pirates' protection, it was the first time Whitebeard had seen the Fishman king in person since he crossed to this world.
"Ah, I'm King Neptune. And you are?"
The king was released unexpectedly, feeling a bit uneasy for a moment. He sensed familiarity with Whitebeard but couldn't quite recall.
By now, nearly all the members of the Ryugu Palace had been freed, and most of them gathered here.
Among them, the left and right ministers of the Ryugu Palace quickly recognized Whitebeard, and they were simultaneously taken aback.
"Whitebeard, captain of the Whitebeard Pirates, the sea emperor who can stand against the Marine Headquarter, Edward Newgate!"
"King, this is Whitebeard-sama!"
Being reminded by the ministers, Neptune realized and swiftly approached Whitebeard to express his gratitude.
"Whitebeard-sama, I can't believe you're here. I've been eagerly anticipating your arrival in my heart. It feels like you descended from the sky to rescue us, like a god"
Neptune expressed with gratitude.
"Don't thank me. I'm here to reclaim what's rightfully mine. Fishman Island will remain under my protection in the future, and no one can interfere!"
Whitebeard's words carried an undeniable force.
"Of course, we all welcome you back. With your leadership, Fishman Island can experience the best development"
Neptune said with a smile. The royal family and ministers present are sincerely happy.
"Left and right ministers, quickly organize the Ryugu Palace and begin preparations to fight back Hodie Jones!"
Neptune ordered quickly, asserting his authority as the king of Fishman Island.
"Yes!"
The left and right ministers quickly started restoring the normal operation of the Ryugu Palace.
Despite asserting his royal authority and majesty, Neptune was well aware of the limitations of the Ryugu Palace's strength. It was clear that facing both pirate groups in battle was an impossible task.
Furthermore, Neptune's primary concern was his daughter at the moment. Without hesitation, he ignored etiquette as a king and directly asked Whitebeard's help.
"Whitebeard-sama, thank you for coming to rescue us. My daughter may be in danger, and I sincerely hope you can save her"
Neptune said with a genuine expression.
"Then let's hurry," Whitebeard said.
"Thank you, Whitebeard-sama"
Neptune expressed gratitude. He intended to go with Whitebeard himself, but exhaustion from the prolonged captivity weighed on him.
At the same time, recognizing the need for the king's presence at the Ryugu Palace, Neptune orders Fukaboshi to guide Whitebeard.
Meanwhile, Hodie Jones and Van der Deeken IX gathered all their pirates crew on Noah's Ship, preparing everyone for the upcoming battle.
Simultaneously, Hodie Jones dispatched some pirates to gather information. However, before their return, the pirates who had initially surrounded the Ryugu Palace had already managed to escape and come to him
"Captain, Captain, something bad has happened!"
The returning fishman exclaimed in panic.
"What's going on?" Hodie Jones frowned and inquired.
"There's a human who defeated all our crew members. He's so powerful that we couldn't resist at all"
The fishman replied.
"What?!" Hodie Jones was startled, realizing that something was wrong.
Van der Decken IX sank deeper and hastily asked, "What does that human look like?"
"He's really tall and carries a naginata, though he didn't use it. Just a glance, and our crew went down. He also had a crescent-like white beard."
The fishman recalled.
Upon hearing this, Hodie Jones and Van der Decken IX exchanged glances, and a shared look of horror crossed their eyes.
"It's Whitebeard, no doubt, it's Whitebeard!" Van der Dijken IX exclaimed in terror.
"He really came. Why would he come to Fishman Island?" Hodie Jones found it unbelievable yet filled with fear.
"Captain, what should we do now? Are we going to retake the Ryugu Palace?" Someone asked.
"Shut up! That's Whitebeard, one of the Four Emperors. He defeats and kills the Blackbeard Pirates like it's child's play. If we meet him, there won't be any survivors!"
Hodie Jones scolded.
Facing an opponent of the Four Emperors level, they have no resistance at all.
So, how could Hodie Jones have the idea of confronting the Whitebeard Pirates?
He understood that this was one of the Four Emperors, and the presence of Whitebeard alone was already quite shocking, let alone an entire crew of the Four Emperors Pirates.
Moreover, the reputation of Whitebeard echoed throughout the New World, making the prospect of facing such a terrifying opponent even more terrifying.
Hodie Jones had only one thought: to run away.
However, Van der Dijken IX had a different idea, despite sharing Hodie Jones's fear of Whitebeard.
An opponent of Whitebeard's level is not something that these small characters can touch.
"Hodie Jones, maybe we have other ways."
