Chapter 135: News of Fishman Island's "Fall" Spreads Worldwide, the Five Elders Are Panicked
The Fish-Man Island arc has officially turned a new page. Brian's goal is a wider, more brutal new world.
At the highest point of Ryugu Castle, the enormous black flag of the Rocks Pirates fluttered arrogantly in the water.
The skull and crossbones pattern on the black flag seems to be sneer; it has become the new totem of Fishman Island, a symbol of fear.
"Griffin, Yin, Xuan, Mi, Fishman Island is now in your hands. Keep in touch, and rotate in six months."
At the port, Brian looked at the four monster girls in front of him and gave them some instructions.
Griffin nodded solemnly, "Yes, please rest assured, Master, I will protect Fishman Island."
"Please rest assured, Master!" Yin, Xuan, and Mi nodded in unison, their faces solemn.
This is the first time a monster girl has been seen leaving Brian's side to carry out a long-term mission alone, and everyone is paying close attention to it.
Brian nodded, glancing at the large number of fishmen and mermaids in the distance. These guys were just there to join in the fun, but they looked terrified.
For the vast majority of fishmen and mermaids on Fishman Island, Brian the Beast, and even his monster girl army, are like children who can be easily silenced.
Brian didn't care; having chosen iron-fisted rule, he had expected all of this.
After arranging everything, Brian glanced one last time at the Dragon Palace in the distance, taking in the terrified and frightened looks from Neptune and the others, before turning and walking toward the warship.
The monster girl army around her moved in sync, and Otohime and her maid troupe all boarded the ship.
wow~
wow~
The warship started up, its huge propellers churning the water in the deep sea. The black submarine warship, like a giant beast in the deep sea, slowly left the bubble of Fishman Island.
Brian stood in the command room, taking one last look through the observation window at the black pirate flag fluttering atop Ryugu Castle. It wasn't just the flag of the Rocks Pirates; it was Brian's declaration of war against the World Government and the old era.
The mission on Fish-Man Island is complete. He has successfully transformed a strategic location into a base of absolute obedience and enslavement, completely isolating the World Government and the Navy, and laying a solid foundation for his future independence and conquest of the New World.
"Full speed ahead, target: the New World!" With Brian's command, the warship shot off like an arrow, cutting through the deep sea and speeding toward the end of the Grand Line.
The black submarine quietly departed, leaving only the Rocks Pirates' black flag, which loomed like an inextinguishable shadow atop the tower of Ryugu Palace.
Griffin, the griffin girl, led a squad of catgirls who took over all military and political power on Fishman Island in a cold and efficient manner.
With such a massive storm erupting on Fishman Island, it's clear that news of it couldn't be kept secret.
In less than a day, countless newsbirds traversed the entire world, from the sparsely populated Calm Belt to the "high and mighty" Red Earth continent, Lucy received the latest world economic news.
The front page headline featured the menacing black flag atop Dragon Palace, accompanied by the striking headline: "The Deep Sea Has Fallen! Brian, a high-ranking officer under Locksmore, Declares Fishman Island His Private Property!"
This news, like a sudden tsunami, swept across the world in an instant, its impact even surpassing the kidnapping of the Celestial Dragons by Brian a few months earlier.
Because this time, it's truly a case of "land to rule"!
In particular, the Rocks Pirates occupied Fish-Man Island, a very important transportation hub on the Grand Line.
For hundreds of years, this island, located 10,000 meters deep in the ocean, had never truly escaped the control of the world government.
In fact, this move by Brian was a first for the first time ever!
The Holy Land of Mary Geoise, the true center of power in the world.
Inside the Five Elders' residence, the atmosphere was so somber it was suffocating. The air was thick with a triple hue of anger, decay, and unease.
They held the latest newspapers in their hands, and every elder's face was extremely gloomy.
"Dereliction of duty! The royal family of the Dragon Palace is utterly foolish!"
"Is that old bastard Egil dead? What a useless piece of trash, a complete waste, an old fool as stupid as a pig."
The environmental war god, Marcus Mazs, slammed the newspaper heavily onto the table, the sound echoing throughout the hall.
As the Five Elders who pays the most attention to his appearance, Marcus Mazsan rarely loses his composure like this, but this incident has indeed had a significant impact on the World Government.
"A World Government member state that had lasted for hundreds of years was so easily taken over by a pirate! It's said that Brian not only seized control of the Ryugu Kingdom, but also burned down Fish-Man Island's history and openly planted the pirate flag!"
Wearing glasses, the financial warrior Izanbaron V. Nassjuro closed his eyes, took a deep breath, and spoke with deep concern.
As the only man among the Five Elders who is not wearing a suit, Izambaron V. Nassurou is implicitly seen as the leader among the five.
The first generation of Kitetsu in his hand seemed to sense his anger and helplessness, and it trembled slightly. The sound of the sword was not loud, but it was very jarring.
"The problem isn't Agil's stupidity, but Brian's efficiency and ruthlessness."
"He plundered the resources that Fish-Man Island had accumulated over hundreds of years, and then left behind a squad of monster girls to guard it! This is a complete mockery of the authority of our World Government!"
"From the moment he kidnapped the Celestial Dragons, we should have realized that Brian is a strategic monster, not just a destructive madman!"
"Now, the deep-sea passage has fallen into enemy hands. This means that the Rocks Pirates have a safe, hidden supply line to the New World that does not need to pass through the Navy's patrol areas."
"Our strategy toward Locus must be reassessed!"
Shepard X. Pitt, the God of Agriculture, had sharp eyes and a voice as cold as steel: "The gains and losses of Fishman Island are just a prelude."
"More importantly, this happened on the eve of our planned final battle with Rocks, which will have a huge impact!"
His gaze shifted to another bald Elder, and he demanded, "What is the progress of the Marine Headquarters' preparations?"
"Have the troop buildup on the other side, the development of new weapons, and the targeted tactical deployments against the monsters under Lockheed's command achieved 80% of our expectations?"
When asked, the Legal Martial God Topman Vochuli Saint shook his head and replied heavily, "According to Kong's reply, the Rocks Pirates' strength has grown too rapidly, causing great difficulties in intelligence gathering and tactical planning."
"Especially this senior executive who joined just a few months ago, Brian the Beast, is a huge variable. The Sky side says it's facing enormous difficulties and they can't determine a specific time yet."
Upon hearing this, the atmosphere in the room once again became tense.
