However, ideas are good, but it also depends on who you are facing.
Just like how he would use the hatred of Fish-Men towards humans years later to cause conflict between the Fish-Men and the Straw Hat crew.
Years later, he chose the wrong target. Now, he has no idea what terrible consequences he will face if he moves the Freedom.
The battle ended quickly.
Although the guards were not weak, they were indeed weaker compared to the New Fish-Man Pirates and Hody Jones.
Thus, they were quickly defeated by Hody Jones and his men.
Hody Jones did not kill anyone. After all, these guards were his own kind. After he took over Ryugu Palace, he would still need these people to guard it.
If he killed his own kind, it might make those who were favorable to them become hostile.
This would be detrimental to his future rule. kanδん
Then, Hody Jones and his men, ignoring the gazes from the distant streets and the two lobster Fish-Men guarding the entrance of the barrier, jumped into the water and began pushing the Freedom towards the direction of Fish-Man District.
He believed that the Fish-Men on the street would not betray them.
Apart from some stubborn individuals in the Royal Guard, over 90% of the Fish-Men on Fish-Man Island now hated humans.
They wished that the New Fish-Man Pirates and this group of humans would clash.
Some Fish-Men even ran from the streets to help Hody Jones and his men push the Freedom. Even more Fish-Men grabbed ropes and quickly tied up the guards on the ground, following Hody Jones and his men back to Fish-Man District.
"Quick, Kodora, rule the palace."
At the entrance of the barrier, the lobster Fish-Man holding a long spear anxiously watched the Freedom gradually disappearing into the distance and shouted at Kodora.
"Notify?"
Kodora walked behind his companion, staring at his back. A hint of an inexplicable emotion flashed in his eyes, and he said jokingly, "Why notify?"
"What's wrong with you, Kodora?"
His companion turned to look at Kodora. When he saw the amusement in Kodora's eyes, he seemed to understand something and stared at Kodora with disbelief, "You notified Hody Jones. You are one of the New Fish-Man Pirates."
"Mhm!" Kodora nodded, admitting it without hesitation.
Then, he pressed the long spear against his companion's waist and said excitedly, "Let's go! Let's go to Fish-Man District together. Brother Hody's plan is about to begin. I'm so excited!"
"Plan? What plan?"
His companion stared intently at Kodora and asked in a deep voice, "Do you know what you are doing? That's a pirate with a bounty of 2.5 billion. That's the pirate with the highest bounty in the world right now, besides the Four Emperors of the New World. Do you think about the consequences of provoking them?"
"Consequences?"
Kodora stared at his companion, his lips curling upwards, wider and wider, eventually showing a face full of madness.
"What consequences? Don't forget where we are. This is Fish-Man Island, a super-large island with a population of over 5 million."
"No matter how powerful Silver Hair's crew is, can they be more powerful than our hundreds of thousands of fellow Fish-Men?"
"So..."
Lowering his head, Kodora looked at his companion with cold eyes and pushed forward with force, "Let's go! We've worked together for years, and we are the same kind. I'll introduce you to Brother Hody later, and we'll follow Brother Hody together."
"You are all insane."
His companion stared at the completely changed Kodora, turned around helplessly, and walked towards Fish-Man District.
He didn't know what the New Fish-Man Pirates' plan was, but it definitely wouldn't be anything good.
Provoking Silver Hair's crew, with a bounty of 2.5 billion and a total crew bounty of nearly 5 billion, just thinking about it made his heart pound.
"No, I must notify the King and Brother Jinbe."
As he walked forward, this lobster Fish-Man pondered how he could escape from Kodora.
With the tip of the spear pressing against him, and his own strength inferior to Kodora's, he couldn't escape until he had caught up with Hody Jones and the others.
As he approached Fish-Man District and saw more and more of his own kind around him, despair filled his heart.
...
Restaurant.
"Haha!! Thank you for your patronage."
Lucci bowed, standing by the counter, rubbing his hands, and said to Kongtai with a smile, "Customer, the total for this consumption is 2,005,896 Berries. I'll take the liberty to round it down for you. You only need to pay me 2,000,000 Berries."
"2,000,000 Berries!"
Kongtai's mouth twitched. He glanced at Ace, who was occupying a table by himself, with plates piled high on the table and even another table next to it filled with plates. Ace was leaning back in his chair, patting his stomach, which looked like it was ten months pregnant, with a look of satisfaction and excitement.
He knew Ace could eat, but a meal costing 2,000,000 Berries, what kind of monster was this?
He knew that Ah Hua and the other two could also eat a lot, after all, they were no longer ordinary people, but they still couldn't eat this much.
The nine of them, including Jinbe, ate less in total than this single person.
If Lucci hadn't come out to say that the ingredients were all used up, he would have suspected that this guy could have continued eating.
As if sensing Kongtai's strange gaze, Ace patted his stomach. His stomach, like a deflating balloon, gradually shrank, and soon returned to its usual size.
Then he sat up straight. He cautiously glanced at Kongtai, then quickly looked away, scratching the back of his head with an embarrassed expression.
This was not an ordinary restaurant.
This was the best restaurant on Fish-Man Island. Not to mention the chefs, even the ingredients here were very rare.
Given Uncle Lucci's personality, he knew that this meal would not be cheap.
But he couldn't be blamed for this.
After all, he had been a tour guide for half a day, and it was natural to eat with the guests.
With this thought, the embarrassment on his face disappeared. Instead, he picked up the toothpick box from the table, flicked one out, leaned back in his chair leisurely, and began picking his teeth.
Kongtai saw Ace's actions, withdrew his gaze, and shook his head helplessly.
He didn't feel bad about the money. He was just surprised by this guy's stomach.
As expected of Monkey D. Garp's grandson and Portgas D. Ace's brother, his rapid digestion skill was probably taught by Garp since he was young!
He wondered if it was due to innate talent or Life Return.
This ability to quickly extract power from food was a very strong ability for anyone.
If it weren't for Ah Hua's radishes, the only way for Ah Hua and the other two to improve rapidly would be this ability.
But with radishes that could restore stamina, Ah Hua and the other two didn't need to extract extra energy from food and could train without restraint.
The radishes were much better than this ability.
Looking at Lucci, who was smiling, Kongtai took out two stacks of Berries from his spatial bag and threw them to Lucci.
"Here! Here are two million. Count them."
Lucci took the money, sniffed it under his nose, and looked intoxicated.
Then he bowed respectfully to Kongtai and said loudly, "I trust my customers completely, haha!!"
Of course, he trusted him. The Berries looked new. These new bills were stacked in millions, with each bill worth 10,000 Berries.
Moreover, Kongtai and his group were VIP guests of Ace and Jinbe, so how could they possibly lie to him?
