Phoenix Reborn In One Piece-Chapter 260: The Uprising in Fish-Man District!

Fish-Man District.

Sixteen years ago, it was a large shelter for orphans.

But due to poor leadership at the time, it eventually became a haven for criminal groups.

Fisher Tiger, Jinbe, Arlong, and Hody Jones all came from this place.

After Tiger's death, the Sun Pirates he had founded split into two factions—one led by Jinbe as the Fish-Man Pirates, and the other becoming Arlong's crew.

Arlong's crew had been banished to the East Blue by Jinbe, only to be taken down by Ryuen's team later on.

However, a new force had secretly emerged in Fish-Man District—the New Fish-Man Pirates!

This group was founded by Hody Jones, who harbored extreme hatred for humans and worshipped Arlong. He recruited many Fish-Men from the district to join him.

The New Fish-Man Pirates had several powerful divisions, including the Kraken Surume, the Sea Beast Troop, the Sniper Unit, the Aerial Squad, the Thousand-Needle Corps, and the Poison Corps.

Excluding the officers, the total number of New Fish-Man Pirates had already reached 60,000!

Vander Decken was one of their allies.

Hody Jones had witnessed Shirahoshi's terrifying ability to summon Sea Kings when she was just six years old. He then took advantage of Vander Decken's obsession with her, forming an alliance and using his Mark-Mark Fruit ability to try and eliminate Shirahoshi.

Vander Decken had failed every time so far.

"Hody boss!"

"Bad news, Hody boss! That guy Vander Decken got caught by Boss Jinbe!"

At Fish-Man Street, Daruma, the cigar-smoking shark-man and an officer of the New Fish-Man Pirates, rushed to report to Hody Jones.

"What?"

"Why would Jinbe suddenly go after Vander Decken?" Hody Jones was completely shocked.

All these years, Jinbe had never done anything about Vander Decken and his crew. Hody always thought Jinbe wouldn't interfere in these matters.

"I don't know either, but Vander Decken has already been taken to Ryugu Palace. If the royal family finds out what we did in the past from him, neither they nor the people of Fish-Man Island will let us go!" Daruma said anxiously.

Hearing this, the officers of the New Fish-Man Pirates immediately became restless.

After all, they were the ones who had planned the assassination of Queen Otohime!

If this got exposed, not just the royal family—even the common folk of Fish-Man Island would tear them apart!

Hody Jones panicked for a moment but quickly calmed down. A cold, sinister look appeared on his face as he said, "Gather all our men immediately! This time, we're going to take out Neptune and the others once and for all!"

The other officers of the pirate crew lost all fear upon hearing Hody's words. Their faces lit up with excitement, a thirst for blood gleaming in their eyes.

"Don't worry, Hody boss! We'll gather our troops right away. This time, we'll definitely become the rulers of Fish-Man Island!" Daruma said, barely able to contain his excitement.

Without hesitation, all the officers set out to rally their forces!

At Ryugu Palace.

The unusual activity at Fish-Man Street quickly caught the attention of the kingdom's guards, and the information was swiftly reported to Neptune.

At that moment, Neptune and his men hadn't even started interrogating Vander Decken yet.

"Your Majesty Neptune! A report from the guards—there's movement in Fish-Man Street! It looks like they're gathering their forces!"

The Left Minister glanced at Jinbe before turning to Neptune with urgency.

"Fish-Man Street?" Neptune frowned and immediately turned to Jinbe.

"Left Minister, you're saying they're gathering an army over there?" Jinbe asked, puzzled.

"That's right, Boss Jinbe. I suspect there might be an uprising against Fish-Man Island!" the Left Minister said gravely.

"It looks like Fish-Man Street can't be allowed to continue as it is. From now on, Fish-Man Island should have orphanages, just like the human world. If that's the case... Jinbe, from now on, you have full command over the kingdom's guards. You must suppress this rebellion with everything you have!" Neptune ordered in a firm tone.

"Understood, King Neptune. I know what must be done. It's about time we dealt with Fish-Man Street!" Jinbe nodded, fully grasping the weight of Neptune's words.

"I'm counting on you, Jinbe," Neptune said, looking at him with a serious expression.

Jinbe gave a deep nod and immediately left Ryugu Palace to make preparations. He already had a plan forming in his mind.

This rebellion was definitely organized by Hody Jones and his gang. If they wanted to put an end to the uprising, they had to take down Hody and his men first.

The only problem was... there were a lot of people in Fish-Man Street...

Meanwhile, on the Dream Exploration Crew's side.

They had already returned to Mermaid Cove.

Camie, being the most familiar with the area, had found an apartment for the crew to rent.

Everyone was resting in the apartment.

Camie had left to get some rest. She had been through a lot recently, even coming dangerously close to being sold as a slave. She needed time to recover.

Meanwhile, Robin had already finished translating the Poneglyph from the Sea Forest. She had shared its contents with the crew.

"Joy Boy... So this was an apology letter to the mermaid princess of that time... What kind of war happened 800 years ago?" Nojiko murmured, feeling that their journey was becoming more and more mysterious.

"Eight hundred years... Sea King..." Kuina's eyes lit up as she turned to Robin. "Robin, does that mean the current mermaid princess, Shirahoshi, is the Sea King of this era?"

"Based on the Poneglyph from Skypiea and this apology letter from Joy Boy on Fish-Man Island, I can say with certainty that the ancient weapon, Poseidon, of this generation is indeed Princess Shirahoshi," Robin said firmly.

Hearing her words, smiles spread across everyone's faces. Their adventure was becoming even more thrilling!

First, they had uncovered information about Pluton in Alabasta. Now, they had found solid proof about Poseidon. Out of the three ancient weapons, they already knew about two!

"Ryuen, I have a feeling... If we keep following this path, we might be the ones to find One Piece first," Hog said seriously, his tone carrying an unexplainable weight. fɾēewebnσveℓ.com

As soon as he finished speaking, everyone turned to Ryuen. It seemed their journey was about to take a new turn.

*Tap tap tap... tap tap tap... tap tap tap...*

Ryuen tapped his fingers on the table in thought. After a moment, a small smile appeared on his face.

"We'll go with the flow. Our goal is to map the world, which means the Final Island is also within our objective. So in that case... crew, let's go see what this so-called One Piece really is!"

"Yeah!!!"

The Dream Exploration Crew cheered in excitement.
