#370 - Chapter 370: Princess Otohime is Threatened
The air of the Sabaody Archipelago was filled with the slightly salty sea breeze, and the sunlight sprinkled on the ground through the dense canopy, the mottled light and shadows swaying with the gentle breeze.
Jin An stood on a slightly deserted street, gently put down the Den Den Mushi he had been using to talk to Shakuyaku, and a smile appeared on the corner of his mouth.
This woman always manages to appear in his life at just the right moment.
"Fish-Man Island?"
Jin An murmured softly, a hint of interest flashing in his eyes.
Although Shakuyaku contacted him this time because of the injured pirate, what Jin An cared more about was that going to Fish-Man Island was a pleasant journey in itself.
After all, admiring the beauty of mermaids is an extremely pleasing thing.
Moreover, Princess Otohime on Fish-Man Island was also an unrealized wish in his heart—he had always wanted to meet this rumored wise and kind princess in person.
He narrowed his eyes slightly, and a vague image of Princess Otohime appeared in his mind.
For a strong person, conquest is not limited to the display of power. Sometimes, an interesting meeting and a wise conversation can make him feel more satisfied.
"As for that pirate," Jin An curled his lips in disdain, recalling the name mentioned in Shakuyaku's letter.
Although the name sounded familiar, Jin An didn't pay much attention to it.
An injured pirate was not enough to arouse his interest.
Even if this pirate was once the backbone of a certain force, in Jin An's eyes, he was just a small trouble that had not yet been resolved.
He made up his mind, raised his hand and gently swiped in the air, and an invisible door quietly appeared in front of him.
Without hesitation, he stepped into the door, and his body disappeared in place in an instant.
With Jin An's departure, the streets of the Sabaody Archipelago returned to calm, as if everything just now was just a fleeting phantom.
Jin An had already teleported the purchased items back to the West Blue. Now he was free from worries and prepared to go to Fish-Man Island to have a long-awaited meeting with Princess Otohime.
In the instant Jin An crossed space, his thoughts gradually became clear.
The waters of Fish-Man Island are deep and mysterious, and Princess Otohime is the soul figure who controls this area.
This meeting may be more interesting than he expected.
After all, some things go far beyond expectations, and Jin An has always liked challenges full of unknowns.
A sense of anticipation suddenly surged in his heart, looking forward to everything that was about to happen.
Whether it was the threat of pirates or the complex situation on Fish-Man Island, he was ready to face and solve these possible troubles.
"Princess Otohime," Jin An whispered her name in his heart, with a meaningful smile on his face.
As his figure disappeared behind the door, the fate of Fish-Man Island would also undergo subtle changes due to his arrival.
......
The light of Fish-Man Island was scattered into a soft blue color through the sea water, and the entire island seemed to be shrouded in a layer of peaceful halo.
However, the atmosphere at the moment seemed particularly tense.
Princess Otohime stood in the center of the spacious hall, looking calmly at the pirate in front of her who exuded a dangerous aura.
Although there was some helplessness and displeasure in her eyes, she still maintained the elegance and majesty of the royal family.
"Your injury has been controlled."
Princess Otohime said softly, her tone without any emotional fluctuations, as if she was just routinely notifying the other party.
Baskerville Joth grinned, revealing a mouthful of yellowed teeth.
His thick tongue kept licking his lips, and his eyes were full of wanton greed.
His eyes wandered over Princess Otohime's body, with undisguised desire.
"In order to repay Princess Otohime's life-saving grace, I would like to invite you to be a guest at 'Holy Salvation Association', please do me the honor..."
Baskerville Joth's voice was low and hoarse, with an unspeakable sense of oppression.
He slowly stretched out his hand, his eyes undisguisedly scanning Princess Otohime's body up and down.
Princess Otohime frowned slightly, and she already knew that this pirate had bad intentions.
His words and deeds revealed a naked threat.
Although she still maintained a calm expression, she had already begun to think about how to deal with the current situation.
Her guards immediately reacted, and several strong Fish-Man guards quickly protected Princess Otohime behind them, the weapons in their hands flashing with cold light, ready to deal with emergencies at any time.
"No need, I still have some official duties to complete."
Princess Otohime responded coldly, her tone revealing a firm refusal.
She knew that facing such a person, weakness would only lead to greater danger.
However, Baskerville Joth was unmoved, and the smile on his face became more and more sinister.
He slowly raised his foot and approached Princess Otohime, his eyes full of teasing and threat.
"This is not up to you..."
Baskerville Joth's voice was low and full of malice, his fat body trembling slightly, as if he could explode with a fatal attack at any time.
Princess Otohime's heart tightened, and she clearly felt the dangerous aura emanating from this pirate.
However, she still did not take a step back, her eyes firmly meeting the other party.
She understood that as the princess of Fish-Man Island, she could not show weakness at this time.
She needed to protect this island, protect her people, and never succumb to the threat in front of her.
The eyes of the Fish-Man guards were full of anger. They did not hesitate to raise the weapons in their hands and meet the approaching Baskerville Joth.
The belief in protecting Princess Otohime was burning in the heart of every guard. They would never allow this unidentified pirate to approach the princess in the slightest.
"Damn you, you are not allowed to approach Princess Otohime!"
A tall Fish-Man guard roared, and the spear in his hand stabbed straight at Baskerville Joth with a sharp whistling sound.
"Get out of Fish-Man Island!"
Another guard followed closely, waving an axe and slashing towards Baskerville's waist.
......
However, facing these brave Fish-Man guards, Baskerville Joth showed a disdainful smile on his face.
His eyes were full of teasing and contempt, as if the soldiers who were desperately protecting the princess were just moths flying into the fire.
Just as the guards' weapons were about to touch him, Baskerville Joth's figure suddenly blurred.
The next second, he teleported behind the guards at an extremely fast speed, giving them almost no chance to react.
Along with a few muffled impact sounds, several guards fell heavily to the ground, the weapons slipping from their hands, making a crisp metallic collision sound.
"Simply overestimate yourself."
Baskerville Joth sneered, looking at the Fish-Man guards lying on the ground indifferently.
Then, he continued to approach Princess Otohime without stopping.
The guards lying on the ground did not give up. They gritted their teeth and tried their best to hold Baskerville Joth's legs, trying to stop him from moving forward.
The guards' hands tightly grasped Baskerville's boots, their fingernails sinking into the leather, their eyes full of determination and unyielding.
Baskerville Joth's face became gloomy, and a flash of rage and impatience flashed in his eyes.
He looked down at the guards who were trying to stop him, his eyes full of coldness and cruelty.
"Looking for death!"
Baskerville Joth roared in a low voice, raised one foot, and stomped **** on the ground on one of the guards' hands without hesitation.
With a crisp sound of bone breaking, the guard's wrist was instantly crushed, making a painful moan.
