Pirates: Become Invincible From Capturing The Marine Goddess

"Cough cough cough cough..."

Neptune coughed violently, and then recovered as the medicine took effect.

"Sorry, I'm rude."

A caring mermaid lady swam up and wiped the bloodline from the corner of his mouth with a handkerchief.

"Mr. Lynch, please forgive Shark Star and the others for their offense. I apologize to you on their behalf."

Princess Otohime leaned down to apologize.

She is well aware of the current situation on The Fish Men Island, and Marine must not be offended.

It would be good if this young man had a lot of energy, but it would be bad if he was a weakling.

"Princess, please get up quickly. Don't worry about trivial matters."

His frown never relaxed.

Lynch clearly remembers that Neptune in the original book was called the Great Knight of the Sea and was in extremely good health.

Now, why do you look like a consumption ghost?

"Princess, do you remember when the king started having this problem?"

Princess Otohime lowered her eyes and thought for a moment, "It was about three months ago."

"It's strange to say that Neptune was in good health before that, but suddenly he became like this."

"Have you ever seen a doctor?"

"I looked it up and the doctor said it's fine. It may be that I'm working too hard and I need more rest."

"Princess, if you believe me, find someone you trust to check on the king's personal attendant."

When the sun shines, you know yin and yang and understand changes.

In his field of vision, Neptune's kidneys were dim.

Kidney represents water among the five elements.

Apparently something went wrong with the water Neptune drank, causing kidney failure.

There are only many guards who can come into contact with Neptune's drinking water every day.

"You mean..."

Princess Otohime's expression changed, as if she had thought of something.

"Yes, I suspect someone poisoned it."

"The princess must not make this matter public. She should find a trusted person to carry out the matter secretly to prevent any unexpected events."

"Um."

Seeing what Lynch said was convincing, Princess Otohime believed it.

She has also been suspecting something strange about Neptune's disease these days, but unfortunately no matter how many doctors she calls, the result is the same.

"I have a person I absolutely trust here, and he saved my life during an assassination."

Not long after Princess Otohime said these words, Lynch saw the fishman Tiger whom he had not seen for many years.

This guy is indeed not dead!

Fishman Tiger doesn't know the current Lynch, he only knows the masked Nighthawk from back then.

Seeing Lynch staring at him, Taylor thought his identity as a wanted criminal had been discovered and almost took action.

Fortunately, Princess Otohime intervened.

"I see that Your Excellency has a righteous heart, and I hope that Tiger's affairs will not be revealed."

Princess Otohime also asked Tiger to come out without any hesitation after seeing Lynch's warning.

In addition, Princess Otohime has a very special sense of knowledge.

She can hear the hearts of all things to a certain extent.

For those who have more knowledge than her, she can also perceive the good and evil of the other party.

Jingwense told Princess Otohime that Lynch had no ill intentions in his heart.

But...this man seems to be very interested in her daughter, little Shirahoshi?

"I will, Princess."

Lynch smiled and nodded at Tiger.

"This guy...have I seen it somewhere?"

After muttering quietly, Tiger went down to perform the task.

The life of Fishman Tiger can only be described as legendary.

He was born in the most chaotic slum and could not even eat enough to eat every day, but he was able to become the fish man he is today, even the royal family treats him with courtesy.

In the past few decades, he has been the boss of a slum, established a pirate group, and traveled across the sea.

Fighting Marines, fighting pirates, fighting World Government, and boarding the Mariejois.

Be the first hero to rescue slaves from Mariejois.

He has come into contact with all kinds of evil people and good people, and his life experience can be said to be rich.

Under Taylor's experienced torture, the poisoner was found out in just a few minutes.

"I was wrong, I was wrong, I shouldn't have poisoned the King, please spare me!"

"I don't dare anymore. Everything was done by Hody Jones. He forced me to do it!"

"My family is in their hands and I dare not violate it. I'm sorry, Your Majesty the King!"

Neptune looked at the servant who had served him for more than ten years and sighed deeply.

"It's that bastard Hody Jones again!"

Tiger's face was shaking with anger.

They did not know that the assassination of Princess Otohime was also carried out by Hody Jones.

But they knew that this guy, with his abnormal hatred for human beings, had betrayed The Fish Men Island and became a traitor to The Fish Men Island.

The huge weapon that is inserted into Shirahoshi's special door from time to time is the handiwork of Hody Jones and his companion, Vander Daken IX, using the Target Fruit.

"Tiger, don't be angry, let him finish."

Princess Otohime calmed everyone present with a gentle tone, "I know that you are also a victim in this matter. As long as you tell the truth, I will ask Neptune for leniency."

"Thank you, thank you, Princess!"

The fishman kowtowed several times before telling the truth.

It turns out that since Hody Jones failed to assassinate Princess Otohime last time, he has been planning how to make The Fish Men Island hate humans again.

In a lucky black market transaction, he obtained a strange medicine similar to the "evil medicine".

It is different from taking a vicious medicine in exchange for short-term strength at the expense of lifespan.

This drug is colorless and odorless and has no effect on other races, but it is a fatal threat to fish-men.

The most important thing is that doctors can't detect it.

If there is anyone who can draw hatred from humans, besides Princess Otohime, it must be Neptune.

So Hody Jones made a strict plan.

When Neptune was about to die, Hody Jones stepped forward and took out the antidote. While gaining the trust of the royal family, he poured dirty water on humans.

With this experience of saving the king, Hody Jones's reputation will greatly increase on The Fish Men Island. By then, even if Neptune is in trouble again, there will be no doubt about him.

Since the fishman is just a subordinate, he only knows so much.

But it’s not difficult for everyone to guess what happens next.

They all gained trust. Of course, they hired a group of pirates to kill Neptune just like they did when they attacked Princess Otohime.

With Hody Jones as the inside guy, that's easy.

At that time, not only can the fish men island's hatred of humans be provoked, but one can also become the new king of the fish men island by marrying Shirahoshi.

From beginning to end, Hody Jones gave outsiders the impression of being an extreme fishman who was dissatisfied with human beings.

Compared to saving Neptune's life, what happened before was nothing.

"Damn it! I'm going to kill this bitch sooner or later!!!" Tiger was furious.

"Fortunately, we met this Marine guy."

Princess Otohime looked at Lynch with fear.

It would be a disaster if Hody Jones really entered the palace.

Unfortunately, Hody Jones missed one thing, which is that Princess Otohime can see into people's hearts.

At the same time, this incident also revealed a more serious matter.
