Chapter 122 Fishman Island

"Learning domineering?"

"I don't need anyone to teach me."

There was a hint of naughtiness in Ma Xiaotao's voice, and the corners of her mouth were slightly raised, like petals blown by the spring breeze, light and warm.

At this time, Kuya stood nearby, frowning slightly, looking a little confused.

As a pure female warrior, her inner world is simple and direct. Fighting and victory are her only pursuits.

She couldn't understand the light in Ma Xiaotao's eyes, nor could she feel the warmth and complexity in it.

She only knew that the girl in front of her had extraordinary strength and potential, and she herself was a warrior who only knew how to fight.

"let's go."

Sandasonia broke the delicate atmosphere.

After that, the four of them walked all the way to the palace on Nine Snake Island.

As they moved forward, the surrounding scenery gradually became more charming.

The royal palace of Nine Snake Island is located among the huge and majestic snake statues on the island, like a bright pearl embedded in the embrace of nature.

The statue is surrounded by various exotic plants, colorful and vibrant, as if telling them the mystery and legend of this island.

Huo Yuhao couldn't help but stop, feeling filled with emotion.

In Huo Yuhao's eyes, compared with the splendid palaces he had seen before, the palace on Nine Snake Island seemed a bit rough and even a little crude.

The appearance of the palace does not have too much decoration, but it is located in a huge statue, and the surrounding forest is like a gentle embrace, tightly surrounding it.

Compared with the palaces Huo Yuhao had seen before, the palace on Nine Snake Island was not considered luxurious, and was even a bit rough.

But it is located among the statues and blends in with the surrounding forest, forming a unique and harmonious beauty.

The sun shines through the gaps in the leaves, and the mottled light and shadow dance on the ground, as if composing a moving piece of music for the palace.

"There is a strange sense of beauty here. It would be even better if water could be diverted from the top and splashed down."

Huo Yuhao couldn't help but sigh, with a hint of admiration in his voice.

As he said, it would be a bit monotonous to just combine the statue with the forest.

If there was a water source that could spray out from the snake head, it wouldn't be too far away, and it would just cover the forest around the palace, which would probably look better.

Moreover, the surrounding trees are a bit monotonous, with the same large and snake-like vines as before.

If there could be a towering tree sitting in the palace like many strange worlds, Huo Yuhao couldn't even imagine how beautiful this place would be.

All the way through the entrance of the palace, under the leadership of Sandasonia, several people were not blocked by the guards and soon arrived at the center of the palace.

That is, in the snake's kiss of the giant snake statue.

Here, Hancock leaned on the throne and looked at Huo Yuhao and the others. There was an old lady sitting next to him.

This old lady should be the former Queen of Nine Snakes Island in the original work.

Huo Yuhao thought to himself.

The last queen was naturally Xia Qi who opened an information store in the Shampoo Islands.

As soon as he came over, Hancock walked up to Huo Yuhao.

"Just talk, why are you so close?"

When Ma Xiaotao saw this, she immediately reacted and quickly stood between Hancock and Huo Yuhao.

Her heart beat faster and a blush appeared on her face. Even though she was a woman, she could feel the amazing charm exuding from Hancock.

Hancock looked at Ma Xiaotao, the corners of his mouth raised slightly, and then turned to glance at Nami beside him, as if he understood something.

"Haha, you guys... are so interesting."

Seeing that the atmosphere on the field was getting more and more tense, Huo Yuhao took a deep breath and separated Ma Xiaotao and Hancock.

"We are pressed for time and have a heavy task. Let's get down to business now."

His words were like a ray of breeze, trying to dispel the oppressive atmosphere.

As Huo Yuhao finished speaking, Hancock and Ma Xiaotao both snorted, and the distance between them widened slightly.

…………………………

Three days later, the sun shines golden light through the clouds, and the sea surface sparkles, as if inlaid with countless shining gems.

Huo Yuhao stood on the deck of the warship.

His eyes were firmly fixed in front of him. The Shampoo Islands he was about to reach before him was like a beautiful picture. The waves were gently lapping at the shore, bringing bursts of fresh sea breeze, which was refreshing.

However, accompanying the warship was a pirate ship with the flag of the Nine Snakes Pirates. The sails were raised high in the wind, as if announcing its existence.

Huo Yuhao's thoughts echoed over the past few days, and the meeting with Hancock was still fresh in his mind.

Just when Huo Yuhao was immersed in thinking, bursts of cheers came from his ears.

He turned his head and saw a pirate ship following closely behind him, with its sails raised high and the flag of the Nine Snakes Pirates flying above it.

That is a symbol of the identity of the Nine Snake Pirates' King Shichibukai.

Wearing it, Hancock went with hundreds of Amazon female warriors who had activated the power of martial arts.

This is also one of the agreements reached between Hancock and Huo Yuhao.

Huo Yuhao gave all the Amazon female warriors the power of martial arts, and they fought for Huo Yuhao.

Although these female warriors currently only have more than ten levels of soul power, given time, with their powerful bodies, they will definitely become a force that cannot be ignored.

"Yu Hao, why don't you put on your cloak? If you catch a cold, I'll feel bad."

On the slightly shaking deck, Huo Yuhao was staring at the Shampoo Islands in the distance, his heart full of anticipation.

However, his thoughts were interrupted by a crisp voice. He turned his head and was surprised to find Hancock walking lightly onto the deck, holding a large cloak of her own in her hand.

"What the hell, I've never heard that the Soul Emperor can catch a cold!"

Huo Yuhao raised a smile and said jokingly, but he did not reject Hancock's kindness.

Hancock's eyes were as clear as autumn water, with a hint of mischief and tenderness. She gently approached Huo Yuhao, preparing to put the big cloak on him.

At this moment, Ma Xiaotao suddenly appeared in front of them, with a sly smile on his face, stopping Hancock's actions.

"Haha, I told you I won't catch a cold."

Ma Xiaotao's voice was light and playful, as if she was teasing the subtlety of this emotion.

Hancock sneered, a trace of disdain flashed in his eyes, but then he turned to Huo Yuhao, and there was a hint of evil in his eyes.

At that moment, Hancock's heartbeat accelerated, and a blush appeared on his face involuntarily.

"Look at this manly woman, unlike me, I only feel sorry for Yuhao~"

Hancock's sweet voice echoed in his ears, as if gently tugging at Huo Yuhao's heartstrings.

During this three-day journey, the awakened power of Hancock's sweet fruit was constantly connected with Huo Yuhao's soul, as if the fate of the two was tightly intertwined.

What's even more outrageous is that after receiving the power of martial arts, Hancock actually had the ability to perform martial soul fusion techniques with Huo Yuhao.

The awakening of this martial soul fusion skill made their relationship even closer.

Huo Yuhao stood on the bow of the boat, with the breeze blowing gently and the waves lapping at the hull of the boat, making deep sounds.

This is the new journey they are about to embark on, and it is also an important moment in Huo Yuhao's plan.

Huo Yuhao couldn't help but recall what happened before.

"Okay, we are about to land on the island, and we won't have so much time to play again after that."

His words seemed to remind himself and his friends around him.

At this time, Nami and Ma Xiaotao's expressions also became serious.

At this moment, there was a rush of footsteps at the port, and Huo Yuhao's eyes were instantly attracted.

He saw a group of people in navy uniforms walking towards them, it was Zhang Lexuan and her friends.

Zhang Lexuan's figure looked particularly dazzling in the sun, her long hair fluttering gently in the sea breeze, and her face was filled with a confident smile.

Huo Yuhao felt happy, and Zhang Lexuan's arrival made him feel excited.

They had already split into two groups before. Zhang Lexuan took Ling Luochen and Ace back to the Chambord Islands, while he, Nami, and Ma Xiaotao came with Houhan Cook.

Huo Yuhao jumped off the deck, the sun shone on him through the clouds, and the sea breeze blew gently, bringing a salty smell.

However, the scene in front of him made him frown slightly. Zhang Lexuan's face was full of worry, and there was a hint of uneasiness in her eyes.

"What's wrong, senior sister? Your expression doesn't look very good."

Huo Yuhao tried to ease her mood with a teasing tone.

She sighed slightly, as if she had a thousand words to say but couldn't say them.

At this moment, Huo Yuhao finally understood the truth of the matter.

His heart sank, the Four Emperors——red-haired Shanks.

As the top force on the sea, the appearance of Shanks means the danger they face.

"Have you met Shanks?"

Huo Yuhao's voice was low, and he secretly felt uneasy for Zhang Lexuan and her companions.

"Yes."

Zhang Lexuan finally spoke, with a hint of helplessness in her voice.

"Their target is Luffy and they don't take us seriously at all."

"Damn it, Luffy, that brat, I must catch him back one day!"

Ace's voice was as loud as thunder, carrying strong anger and anxiety.

His fists were clenched.

"I'm afraid it's not that easy."

Huo Yuhao shook his head, with a hint of heaviness in his tone.

"It's not just a day or two since Luffy wanted to go to sea. He has been prepared for it for a long time."

"It's probably not that easy to bring him back this time."

As he spoke, Huo Yuhao cast his gaze towards the endless sea. The sparkling waves on the sea seemed to be telling Luffy's adventure story.

As the male protagonist in the original work, Luffy could not change his dream even in the navy.

If you say you want to be the Pirate King, then you want to be the Pirate King.

Even if he was regarded as an alien by his classmates in the elite training camp, even if he was beaten countless times by Garp and Zefa, it could not change his decision.

It can be said that the only situation that slightly shook his mind was the time when Zefa killed the pirate and took him and Ace to see the tragic plight of civilians.

It was also because of that time that Ace's idea wavered and he finally joined Huo Yuhao.

But Luffy's decision still didn't waver.

In other words, his mind wavered a little.

That is to change from becoming a simple Pirate King to becoming a Pirate King who restrains all pirates from causing chaos.

Ace's eyes ignited with fire, as if even the air was ignited by his rage.

His hands clenched into fists, and the flames danced around him, making a low roar, like a beast about to be released from its cage.

His expression was full of determination and determination.

"Then I will subdue him and then tie him back!"

He said loudly, his voice echoing in the sea breeze, carrying a fearless aura.

Huo Yuhao stood aside. He knew Ace's strength and determination, but he knew even more clearly that the situation in front of him did not support Ace's actions.

Because Luffy is going on an adventure, there is a high probability that he will set sail from the East China Sea.

"Okay, okay, but what we should do most now is continue to complete the plan."

At this time, their warship slowly docked, and its huge hull made a dull sound under the waves, as if giving a warning of the coming battle.

As the warship docked, a group of sailors quickly disembarked and began to move the golden lion trapped in the ice.

The ice cubes shone coldly under the sunlight, as if mocking the golden lion's incompetence and despair.

He understood that the golden lion was not a simple opponent. His existence symbolized the remnants and decay of the old era. However, at this moment, he was like a trapped beast with nowhere to escape.

"Now everyone stays in place for a day to repair, and I will report the battle situation to the Warring States Marshal."

Huo Yuhao's words were particularly clear in the sea breeze.

Everyone took action quickly, and the busy figures intertwined in the sun, like a vivid picture.

It is different from the execution at the top of the war in the original book.

The remnants of the old era like the Golden Lion may not necessarily be rescued. After all, all his men who came to fight him this time were killed in one fell swoop.

As for friends?

Sorry, that's not necessarily the case.

Even if they had, they wouldn't be able to save their opponent from Huo Yuhao's hands.

You know, Shrek Academy has already stationed two Super Douluo and three Titled Douluo here.

In addition, Huo Yuhao and others, as well as Hancock's participation.

With high-end power like them, even the Yonko Pirates can take a chance.

The only thing is that the middle strength is slightly lacking.

But it doesn't hurt.

Because this plan lasts for a week, the last thing they lack is the backbone.

Huo Yuhao believed that the bargaining chip he proposed was something Fishman Island could not refuse.

"Dudududu"

After three rings, the phone was answered.
