Dignified Champion

"You bastard! See me bite your palm!" This guy is worthy of being a tough guy among Fishman; even if he was caught and his bones shattered by Longinus, he did not have the slightest idea of begging for mercy.

Mouth full of sharp teeth, his mouth fiercely bite that fair palm, and then, along with the "crunching crunching" sound, Arlong's s teeth crumbled to the ground.

"Ugh! Arch touch wide prongs? (Ah! How is that possible?)" The evil dragon slurred his words and shouted.

The Fishman who has not yet had time to do so, also surprised off to the ground, Marine's palms are made of steel?

"Get them all, and be careful, don't hurt them." When Longinus said this, he didn't care about a certain Fishman who had already been wounded by him very thoroughly.

"Marine, don't underestimate ..."

"We are not ..."

Several Fishman can not finish their words; they fainted with foaming at the mouth on the deck, waiting around for a long time the marine forces swarmed, and soon will be on board they arrested all of the Fishman Pirates.

"Damn it, what have you done to them?" As he spoke, Arlong's teeth had almost recovered.

It must say that Fishman is indeed the race favored by the sea, strong wrist strength and incredible swimming speed, not to mention the regeneration speed alone is enough to be excellent.

"Don't worry, I'm not going to kill you." Longinus wiped his saliva-stained right hand and said slowly, "Tiger-san is actually a fishman I admire, but I had to arrest him again due to legal reasons."

"As compensation, I can forgive your crimes as pirates, and after this time, you will return to Fishman Island and be a proper fishman at ease!"

"What? You're taking Brother Tiger?" Arlong struggled fiercely, "Bastard Marine, I will never let you do that!"

Then, Longinus, however, ignored him no more, "Drive the warship over there!"

On the other side, the pirate ship that flew the sun flag.

"The warship is coming towards us! Could it be that even Brother Arlong is unable to destroy the human marine ships?"

"Don't talk nonsense, it must be Brother Arlong who wants to snatch it back along with the warship!"

"So that's how it is! No wonder ..."

As the marine warships continue to approach, the fishman's voice discussing the pirate ship is becoming sullen.

Because, they have been able to see the situation on the warship.

Arlong, which they had placed so much hope, was carried in the hands of humans in disgrace like small chicken.

The rest of the Fishman pirates were no better, all tied up and detained.

First, there was a dead silence, and then the flames of anger erupted like a volcano.

"Damned inferior human, how dare you humiliate Brother Evil Dragon like this!"

"Kill them and recover Brother Arlong!"

"Let these damned human marines know ... Eh?"

A group of Fishman pirates was ready to rush up in righteous indignation, and the next moment they saw their captured companions thrown back like garbage.

They hurriedly turned around and picked up those companions.

"What's, what's going on?"

"Why did the humans set Brother Arlong and the others free?"

In the puzzled eyes of this Fishman, the warship finally connected with the pirate ship.

A young human cloaked in a coat of justice walked from the warship with a calm gait and a gentle face, as if he was not walking on enemy territory at all.

Even from a hostile standpoint, they had to admit that this man's poise and demeanor were not comparable to those of ordinary people.

"Human Marine, what are you here for?" asked Jimbei, stopping in front of Longinus.

"Oh, it's Jimbei of the former Neptune Army of the Ryugu Kingdom!" Longinus smiled calmly.

"You know me?" Jimbei asked in disbelief.

Although he was called the boss by many people in the Neptune Army, in the end, he is only a soldier, even the rank of how he thought should not be noticed by the Marine, right?

"I have followed Fishman Island for some time because of the peace that Queen Otohime called for, and I know that you are a rather valued figure among the bottom commoners of Fishman Island." Longinus smiled.

Hearing Longinus' explanation, Tiger also could not help but look sideways, even they felt that the ideals of Queen Otohime were too naive, and now they were surprised to hear the approval from the mouth of a human marine.

However, after he said so, several Fishman is a better feeling for this human Marine.

"Don't you humans like to treat us as disgusting monsters the most? Trying to live in peace with monsters, you are also an alien among humans, right!" Even Jimbei mocked indifferently.

During these days at sea, humans' greed and discrimination left a terrible impression on him.

"Race does not mean pride." Longinus said sincerely, "I have seen the most despicable humans and the most noble fishmen!"

Longinus' gaze was directed at Tiger, and it was clear that the noblest Fishman he spoke of was the hero who freed the slaves.

"Even from a fishman's point of view, you are indeed a human being worthy of respect!" Jimbei was deeply touched, did not expect that such words would come from a human mouth.

"Humans like you are rarely seen!" Tiger also said in a deep voice.

"Your Fishman Island's Queen Otohime is the one who really deserves admiration!" Longinus said with a serious look, "Perhaps in your opinion, that kind of signature campaign which is almost impossible to succeed is extremely ridiculous, but the truth is that she is the only one who can really turn peace from an appeal to an action!"

"It is foolish to do something even though you know it is impossible to succeed, but if you have to do it for the future of a race, it is great!"

Surrounding fish people are at a loss; it turns out, Queen Otohime is so great?

Tiger took a deep breath and said, "Marine, state your intentions!"

"I see the possibility of peace from the actions of Queen Otohime, so I do not want this glimmer of light to break." Longinus sighed, "For the sake of peace between Fishman and human, I can only ask you, Tiger-san ... to die!"

The moment the words fell, the entire group of Fishman went into a rage!

"Bastard, I thought you'd be one of the few good guys among humans, but it turns out you're coming for big brother Tiger just the same!"

"I told you there wouldn't be a good thing about vile humans, brothers, tear him up for me!"

Even Jimbei, who had previously soared in favor of Longinus, retorted, "In the end, it's still the Chief's life to say more!"

However, just as the war was about to break out, Tiger yelled, "All of you stop!"

Even if it is the most resentful and unhappy, hearing Tiger's words, these Fishman pirates have to press down their anger and have to cast a murderous gaze towards Longinus.

Seeing the commotion subsided, Tiger then turned around and looked directly at the other man with a calm gaze, "Can you tell me what it is about?"

"The government has given the order to destroy Fishman Island if they can't catch you in three months!"
