"H-Human!?" The Fish-Man henchmen cried out in horror, then glared resentfully at James.
Hammond and the Fish-Men exchanged glances, a bloodthirsty smile gracing his lips. "Hammond, Hammond~ How dare a mere human come to Fish-Man District? Lads, tear him to shreds for me!"
"Fish-Man District?" James surveyed his surroundings. It looked like a town, but many areas were dilapidated, and there were very few businesses, only a few barbecue stalls and fish processing workshops.
Hearing the command, the Fish-Men raised their weapons and charged at James.
James was somewhat speechless, not expecting to have to unleash a massacre right upon arrival. He couldn't even be bothered to move, directly unleashing several bolts of lightning from his body towards the Fish-Men.
⚡Vari (Electrical Discharge) - 30,000,000 Volt ⚡
The lightning exploded among the Fish-Men. Those with worse luck died instantly on the spot, and a smell of roasted fish permeated the air.
"What is this?" A small Fish-Man hiding behind Hammond asked in fear.
"Nani?? A Devil Fruit user!" Hammond recognized it at a glance and immediately shouted: "Everyone, a human brat has come to our doorstep, hurry and support us!""
After saying that, he immediately turned and fled for his life, completely disregarding the lives of his subordinates.
"Where do you think you're going?" To Hammond, this voice was like a low growl from hell.
The next moment, he was struck by lightning, his eyes rolled back, and he fell straight down charred.
It was a pity Hammond was a moray eel Fish-Man and not an electric eel Fish-Man, otherwise he might have been able to resist the current for a while.
Many Fish-Men heard Hammond's shouts and gathered around out of curiosity, seeing the fleeing Fish-Men being struck down by tentacle-like lightning bolts. "Muhehe!! Where's Hammond?"
A strange laugh came, and Ikaros Much, the giant squid Fish-Man with eight arms holding eight red-tasseled spears, leaped into the arena, his arrogant gaze sweeping across everyone present.
A shabbily dressed Fish-Man came next to Hammond, sniffed the scent of roasted meat in the air, and couldn't help but lick Hammond's cooked flesh, responding uncertainly: "Hammond… he… he seems to be cooked."
"Huh??" Ikaros Much's small eyes widened, and he stared at James with a sinister gaze, demanding: "Human! How dare you attack Fish-Man District?"
Without waiting for James to react, he directly raised his red-tasseled spear and thrust it towards James.
Seeing more and more Fish-Men, James released lightning more rapidly, saying indifferently during this time: "Whoever moves dies!"
He didn't even look at Ikaros Much, because these Fish-Men were too weak and couldn't even get close to him.
Shouts and screams continuously rang out, and the air was filled with the scent of roasted Fish-Men. If a Sea Kings were to come, they might even find their appetites whetted by these smells.
As time passed, all the Fish-Men who tried to attack James were killed, leaving only some who stood still, motionless, and miraculously survived.
Such survivors are often best suited to become cheap laborers for God's Country.
James reined in the lightning on his body and slowly walked over to a hammerhead shark Fish-Man, asking coldly: "Fish-Man, if you understand human speech, take me to Mermaid Cove."
The hammerhead shark Fish-Man shivered, snapped back to reality, and shouted in terror, his eyes wide with fright: "You… you're not human, you're a devil!! Ah~"
James casually electrocuted him into convulsions as he turned to flee, having thought he was obediently listening and not moving, but it turned out he was just scared silly.
He then came to a lionfish Fish-Man. This Fish-Man was much smarter; without even waiting for James to speak, he proactively said ingratiatingly: "Sir, sir, Little Fish is very obedient. I know where Mermaid Cove is, I'll take you there right now."
James raised an eyebrow. This Fish-Man was quite a character. "Then honestly point the way and lead me."
The lionfish Fish-Man trembled and quickly pointed northwest, while simultaneously stepping forward, only to find that the ground beneath his feet seemed to come alive and grab his body.
"Don't… don't kill me, sir!" The lionfish Fish-Man closed his eyes in fear, begging for mercy with a trembling heart.
Receiving no response, he waited for a while before opening his eyes, finding that he was being stepped on by James and flying in the direction he had pointed.
He immediately breathed a sigh of relief, knowing that his life was temporarily spared, and at the same time, he was greatly amazed by James's ability.
After flying for a while, James finally saw some Merfolk. From the lionfish Fish-Man's mouth, he learned that where they had just been was Fish-Man District, where the most malicious Fish-Men lived.
On Fish-Man Island, the Fish-Man race and the Merfolk race lived separately from birth, the two sides minding their own business.
This was because after female Merfolk reached 30 years old, their fishtails matured and they could choose to keep their fishtail or split it into two legs at their own will.
At this time, most Merfolk would choose to go to the land and marry human males and have children.
Of course, there were also a very few Merfolk who were blind enough to intermarry with Fish-Men and live in the Fish-Men's areas.
The lionfish Fish-Man also reminded him that outsiders entering Fish-Man Island needed to go through immigration inspection, otherwise they would be arrested by the Sea King Army of the Ryugu Kingdom. James understood.
The immigration mechanism here was similar to Sky Island, except Sky Island also required an entry fee.
As someone who proclaimed himself a god, he wouldn't care about any rules made by anyone.
If these could bind him, he would probably be laughed at by his fellow countrymen.
In God's Divine Kingdom, there was a law: a god is always right. As the god and Emperor of Divine Kingdom, James always remembered to uphold this law....
At the same time, Ryugu Palace. The Left Minister tightly clutched his ox-horn staff and swam hurriedly to the palace.
He was a catfish Merfolk, with a mature appearance, clearly an exceptionally wise elder.
But precisely the opposite, his judgment was terrible; he once had the foolish idea of serving tea to hostile pirates for negotiations.
"Your Majesty! Your Majesty!" Before the Left Minister arrived, his voice reached Neptune's ears.
"Hohohoho~ Left Minister, what makes you so anxious?" Neptune had a slight smile on his lips, stroking his orange beard, looking leisurely.
"I can't take it anymore, Your Majesty. The border guard actually said they saw a human controlling Sea Kings coming to Fish-Man Island. How absurd is that? I found it ridiculous and ignored these delusional fellows. Unexpectedly, they kept reporting, wanting me to report to Your Majesty. Alas, I'm truly old, I can't swim anymore…"
"What?" Neptune was greatly astonished. Such an outrageous piece of news, even he found it hard to believe.
