"Protect the Fishman Island? They only want to use you. You don't understand how ugly humans are!"
Hearing Shirahoshi's retort, Hodie Jones' mood immediately became agitated, and he began to shout hoarsely, as if venting his endless resentment.
Shirahoshi was a bit taken aback. She was shocked by the somewhat distorted expression and the intense anger in Hodie Jones's voice. She did not expect his hatred towards humans to be so deep.
"Is the nonsense enough?" Whitebeard said calmly, his eyes filled with a cold killing intent.
This time, Whitebeard was genuinely angered. The audacity of this guy in front of him, along with the fear he instilled in Shirahoshi, which made Whitebeard raise his hand and release a powerful shockwave.
The powerful shockwave pulsed through the space with vibrations, bouncing out almost instantaneously.
Hodie Jones didn't have the slightest time to react. His entire body was shaken into nothingness, and the horrifying power reverberated in the space.
"Shahaahaha, I told you, you can't kill me."
After a while, the familiar voice echoed again; it was Hodie Jones.
"He appeared again!"
Shirahoshi exclaimed, covering her mouth in surprise, clearly taken aback by the turn of events.
Whitebeard frowned slightly. Since just now, Hodie Jones had been killed twice, yet he reappeared both times.
This is definitely not an ordinary Logia fruit ability. Ordinary Logia users would not survive the onslaught by Whitebeard just now, and it is impossible for them to reappear.
This seems to be some sort of Paramecia fruit ability, creating a doll or puppet made of chocolate. In other words, there's no real body here.
It is just that Hodie Jones attaches his consciousness to the doll, allowing him to communicate with others using this vessel.
But for Whitebeard, this is nothing; as long as he finds out who is truly behind the scenes.
Whitebeard is a strong man who has experienced many battles at sea. Of course, he has his own unique method to deal with such a hidden and tricky fighting style. Of course, it will take some time.
"Whitebeard-sama, what should we do now? What's going on? Why does he keep reappearing?" Shirahoshi asked, her suspicion evident.
"It's okay. It won't take long for that kid to reveal himself," Whitebeard said with a serious expression.
Afterwards, Whitebeard utilized the power of the Tremor-Tremor Fruit to send out countless sonic vibrations into the surrounding space. Under this frequency of vibrations, any other abnormalities would be easily noticed by him.
Seeing Whitebeard's movements, Hodie Jones was also a little puzzled. He didn't understand what Whitebeard was going to do, but he felt that he should be in no danger at the moment.
Hodie Jones has only one goal now — to deliberately delay them, while simultaneously fueling his disdain for Whitebeard and the others.
Shirahoshi also looks at Whitebeard curiously. In no time, Whitebeard sensed the anomaly in the space in their current state.
Although it was just a trace of Devil Fruit power, it was still very obvious, and there was nowhere to hide under Whitebeard's keen perception.
At this moment, on the outskirts of the town, a figure lurked in the shadows, quietly unleashing its Devil Fruit power.
This figure is the Minister of Chocolate, here to corporate with Hodie Jones.
Suddenly, he felt a chilling presence, enveloping him completely and rendering him unable to perceive his surroundings.
"Found him!"
Whitebeard's eyes showed sharp gazes.
Having sensed the Minister of Chocolate's presence, Whitebeard pinpointed his exact location. Now, it was time to deal with him.
"Shirahoshi, let's go." Whitebeard immediately lifted Shirahoshi using his tremor-inducing power and flew into the air.
"Ah, are we leaving him alone?" Shirahoshi asked.
"We have to deal with the guy behind the scenes first," Whitebeard replied.
Leaving the Minister of Chocolate unchecked would allow him to create numerous chocolate substitutes for Hodie Jones, which would undoubtedly be a waste of time.
Although Whitebeard is flying with Shirahoshi, their speed is extremely fast, and The Fishman Island itself is not that large.
Therefore, it didn't take long for Whitebeard and Shirahoshi to arrive outside the chocolate envoy's house.
"Come out, you rat," Whitebeard demanded.
"What? He actually came, and he came so fast," The Minister of Chocolate exclaimed in surprise.
He didn't expect Whitebeard to see through his tricks and find him directly, which was astonishing.
Hearing Whitebeard's voice, the Chocolate Minister's first thought was to escape first, as he didn't stand a chance against Whitebeard's power.
If he engages in a direct confrontation with Whitebeard, he'll likely die at the moment they clash.
Furthermore, the Minister of Chocolate's fruit ability isn't suited for close combat. Without hesitation, he uses his power to generate a chocolate clone of himself.
The Minister of Chocolate wanted to use his clone to attract Whitebeard's attention, and he immediately took the opportunity to escape.
Thus, he quickly unleashed his clone, deliberately provoking Whitebeard.
"Whitebeard, I am Big Mom's Chocolate Minister. Are you ready to face the wrath of my mother?"
"If you dare to challenge her, I promise you that she'll destroy you completely. My mom is ruthless."
"And you, the princess of The Fishman Island, do you dare to defy your mother's authority?"
The Chocolate Minister taunted as he confronted Whitebeard and Shirahoshi, wanting to provoke them and buy more time.
"You, you bad guy! You really are a big bad guy! You've done nothing to help us and instead support our enemies. It's absolutely outrageous!" Shirahoshi scolded him loudly.
"Guurarara," Whitebeard suddenly laughed, showing no signs of anger.
Shirahoshi felt confused and immediately asked, "Whitebeard-sama, what's the matter with you? He's provoking us, and you're still laughing."
Whitebeard explained, "You don't know, I'm laughing because this guy is still so arrogant in front of me and wants to use his fruit power to escape."
As he spoke, Whitebeard's expression immediately shifted to a gloomy one.
"Really? Don't you underestimate me, Whitebeard!"
In an instant, Whitebeard vanished from sight, reappearing in front of the Minister of Chocolate who was trying to escape.
"You?"
The Chocolate Minister was taken aback, seeing the ghostly figure of Whitebeard suddenly materialize before him.
His stand-in skills were useless against Whitebeard, who didn't allow him a chance to speak and landed a direct punch.
The powerful vibration force unleashed an overwhelming power, and at such close distance, it instantly disintegrated the Chocolate Minister into nothingness.

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!"
