The son of the dragon who walks

Chapter 701: Unlucky Hodie Jones

After knowing that Hodie Jones and Vander Decken had taken action against White Star, Charles showed no sign of being anxious at all.

Because not all companions came to Fishman Street, a few girls remained in Ryugu Castle.

It's not just Ciel, in fact everyone in Fairy Tail doesn't think highly of Vander Decken, a guy who only knows how to hide in the corner and cause trouble.

So except for Natsu and the others who couldn't sit still, everyone else like Lucy and Wendy who were not interested in fighting or Stella who looked down on their opponents stayed in Ryugu Castle.

Even if Hodie Jones and Vander Decken joined forces, they would not end well if they ran into those girls.

And the situation was exactly as Charles had expected. Hody Jones and Vander Decken...had suffered a great crime!
In fact, Hodie Jones's change is indeed related to Shire.

Two years ago, before the Battle of Marineford, Ciel broke into Impel Down. Although he failed to rescue Ace in advance, he rescued Jinbe who was imprisoned for pleading for Ace.

After that, Ciel and Jinbei also became friends.

Ciel accidentally said to Jinbei, "Many times, estrangement arises from a lack of understanding," which made Jinbei think of the relationship between fishmen and humans.

So he couldn't help but think that perhaps eliminating the barriers between fishmen and humans could start with deepening their understanding of each other.

He can't do anything about the human side, but at least he can make the fishmen understand humans better. So Jinbei even live broadcast the scene of the top war on Fishman Island.

All I can say is that Jinbe is really not suitable for propaganda work, and the situation is not developing the way Jinbe expected.

The fear and prejudice of other fishmen towards humans did not diminish much, but instead made guys like Hodie Jones more aware of the humans they wanted to defeat.

Hoddy Jones was indeed an extreme and paranoid careerist, but he was not stupid.

Although he had previously believed that the evil dragon's fishmen were a noble race, he eliminated his arrogance after truly understanding the power possessed by humans.

Although he didn't believe it at first, thinking that the fishmen could trample humans under their feet as long as they wanted, he finally accepted the reality and realized that his previous plan could not realize his ambition.

Although the deadly medicine that Hody Jones stole from the treasure house of Dragon Palace City could increase his strength exponentially, he would see no hope of winning against those monsters among humans no matter how much deadly medicine he took.

But Hodie Jones would not give up his ambition, so he set his sights on White Star.

Although he didn't know what Shirahoshi's terrifying power was, he knew that as long as he could master that power, he would have the possibility of realizing his ambitions.

He had already thought of a plan, which was to hold Neptune and the three princes hostage and use them as remote controls to control Shirahoshi.

At that time, he will bring a large group of sea kings and directly announce the rise of fishmen, making himself the king of the new era!

The dream was nice, but who could have imagined that I would be woken up directly.

When Hodi Jones and his team arrived at Ryugu City, they received news that a banquet was being held in Ryugu City to welcome human guests.

But at that time, Neptune had already issued a commission to Ciel in the Sea Forest, and Natsu and the others also set off for Fishman Street.

So along the way, Hodi Jones invaded the Dragon Palace City smoothly.

Just like the original plot, they destroyed the bubble that enveloped the Dragon Palace City and poured a large amount of sea water into it.

This was used to deal with the human guests mentioned in the intelligence. In their opinion, this move was enough to eliminate humans who could not survive under the sea.

Logically speaking, since Ciel and the others had a conflict with the New Fish-Man Pirates when they first arrived at Fish-Man Island, these people should have known that this method was useless.

The reason is not that Hody Jones does not know the identity of Ciel and his group. In the past two years, Hody Jones has not relaxed his understanding of the sea, and naturally knows Fairy Tail, which has frequently caused major incidents. However, the concept of "noble race" is impossible to change at the moment, and Hody Jones still believes that only fish people can survive in the sea.

And I don’t know if it was for the sake of so-called face, but the cadres of the new Fishman Pirates who were taught a lesson by Ciel did not tell Hody Jones the details of the battle.

So Hodie Jones didn't know that Charles and his crew had the ability to operate on the seabed.

The most crucial point is because of Jinbe. After the Battle of Marineford, Jinbe has been highly respectful of Ciel and Stella, and often praised their strength.

But this caused Hodie Jones and his party to rebel.

In addition to hating humans, one of the two people the New Fish-Man Pirates hate the most is Neptune.

As the king of the Ryugu Kingdom, he holds the policy of living in peace with humans. To these people, Neptune is a foolish and cowardly king.

The other person is Jinbe, who inherited the Sun Pirates.

As Tiger's successor, Jinbei has a close relationship with the human who killed Tiger, which is a shame for the fish-men.

So even though Along was released from prison thanks to Jinbe becoming one of the Seven Warlords of the Sea, he was still unwilling to return to the Sun Pirates.

The new Fishman Pirates led by Hodie Jones also inherited Arlong's hatred for Jinbe, so they did their best to belittle those whom Jinbe admired.

Over time, they even deceived themselves and really thought that the strong man that Jinbei mentioned was just in name only.

Then Hodie Jones, who was heading to the Hardshell Tower, met the girls from Fairy Tail.

After the seawater backflowed in, the group knew they were under attack, and they were entrusted by the left minister to rush to the Hard Shell Tower to protect Shirahoshi. Just after they calmed down Shirahoshi who was startled and crying, they met Hody Jones and his gang.

Lucy took out the Golden Key of Aquarius and summoned the Celestial Spirit Aqua.

Among the twelve zodiac spirits, although the leader is Leo of Leo, the one with the strongest attack power is Aquarius of Aquarius.

The image of Aquia is a mermaid holding a water bottle, and in areas with water, the power that Aquia can unleash is amazing.

In a way, Lucy, who was always caught up in Aqua's attacks, was indeed incredibly strong.

"Hydrological History!"

Aqua had a cold face and directly used her strongest attack magic.

A violent torrent of water was released directly from the water bottle wielded by Aquia, sweeping all the fishmen away.

Hodie Jones was spinning like a rag in a washing machine, shoving something into his mouth through gritted teeth.

Bloodshot eyes appeared, and Hody Jones' body swelled up. This was the source of Hody Jones' confidence in realizing his ambitions, the secret treasure of Dragon Palace City, the murderous medicine ES.

Eating one pill can double one's strength, and he just swallowed more than a dozen pills.

This allowed him to steady himself in the violent current, but he couldn't help but spit out a mouthful of blood.

Shirahoshi's eyes were sparkling as she looked at the majestic Aqua.

"This fishman sister is so handsome!"
