Chapter 1156 1,155: Fishmen Island and Princess Shirahoshi are now Mine!

Gion, standing off to the side, was stunned too.

She looked at Rei Ao and rolled her eyes so hard internally she must have cursed this shameless womanizer a thousand times already.

This bastard! He snatched me away from the battlefield just now, and now he's here trying to steal Princess Shirahoshi too!

This is way too much! He's unbelievably shameless!

But there was nothing she could do. All she could do was stand there at the side, puffing with anger as she watched.

Shirahoshi struggled with herself for a long time. Listening to the explosions drawing closer outside, along with the increasingly desperate screams and cries, she finally steeled herself and bit down on her lower lip.

Then she raised her head, looked at Rei Ao, and nodded firmly.

Her voice trembled slightly, but it was filled with resolve.

"Okay… I agree. As long as you can save Fish-Man Island, save my father, and save all the people here… then I… I'll go with you. I'll be your woman…"

The moment she finished speaking, her cheeks turned so red they looked ready to bleed. She lowered her head shyly, too embarrassed to look him in the eyes anymore.

Her heart was a complete mess—panicked, confused, and yet carrying a faint, indescribable sense of anticipation.

The man before her was powerful, extraordinary, and willing to save Fish-Man Island. Following him… somehow didn't seem like such a bad thing.

Rei Ao smiled and nodded in satisfaction.

"Good. You won't regret the decision you made today."

Before the last word had even fully landed, his figure flashed and he appeared directly above Ryugu Palace on Fish-Man Island, hovering in midair as he looked down over the entire island in chaos.

At that moment, the battle in the plaza below had reached its final stage.

The trident in King Neptune's hand was already covered in cracks. His body was riddled with wounds, blood had stained his royal robes red, and his breathing was ragged. He could barely remain standing.

Jinbe was covered in injuries as well—wounds inflicted by countless pirates.

Blood stained the corner of his mouth, and even his Fish-Man Karate was becoming hard to use.

The two of them were completely surrounded.

Facing them were Hody Jones and the thugs from Fish-Man District, along with Vander Decken IX and countless pirates, all wearing savage expressions and vicious looks in their eyes.

Hody Jones looked at the battered Neptune and Jinbe and burst into mad laughter. Pointing his blade at them, he shouted in a crazed voice,

"Neptune! Jinbe! Stop struggling! The World Government is gone, and Whitebeard doesn't have time to care about you!"

"Today, I'm going to kill every last one of you trash who collude with humans!"

"I'm going to wipe out every fish-man who dares side with humans!"

"And then I'll take complete control of Fish-Man Island! I'll show the whole world the power of our race!"

Neptune trembled with rage, gripping his trident tightly as he roared back,

"Hody! You traitor! Fish-Man Island will be destroyed by extremists like you! All you'll bring to this island is total disaster!"

His heart was full of despair.

Most of the guards were already dead or wounded. He and Jinbe were at their limits too. They couldn't hold on much longer.

Was Fish-Man Island, which had endured for a thousand years, really going to be destroyed today?

Jinbe gritted his teeth and stepped in front of Neptune, taking up a Fish-Man Karate stance and preparing for a fight to the death.

He had already made peace with dying.

Even if it cost him his life, he would protect King Neptune and preserve the final sliver of hope for Fish-Man Island.

And then, at that moment, a figure appeared in the sky above the plaza.

Everyone looked up at Rei Ao, hovering in midair, their eyes filled with confusion.

Hody Jones frowned, glared at him, and shouted angrily,

"Who the hell are you?! How dare you interfere in my business?! If you don't want to die, then get the hell out of here!"

Rei Ao's gaze swept over him, his eyes filled with disdain. Inwardly, he found it laughable.

A nobody like this dares bark so loudly? And he thinks he's worthy of ruling Fish-Man Island?

Rei Ao couldn't even be bothered wasting words on trash like them. He simply raised a hand slowly, his tone calm, yet his voice rang clearly across the entire island.

"All pirates invading Fish-Man Island, all the thugs from Fish-Man District, and Vander Decken IX."

"Die. All of you."

The instant those words fell, an invisible and terrifying force engulfed the entire island.

In the plaza, Hody Jones had just been about to charge forward when, without any warning, his body suddenly exploded. He didn't even have time to scream before he turned into a cloud of blood mist.

The thugs from Fish-Man District at his side exploded at the same moment too, vanishing without a trace.

Vander Decken IX had been hiding in the crowd, thinking that once Hody killed Neptune, he would head straight for the Hard-Shell Tower to seize Shirahoshi.

Then his body suddenly exploded too. He died without ever understanding how.

And as for the pirates who were looting, killing, and burning their way across the island, and the criminals slaughtering civilians—

No matter where they were hiding on Fish-Man Island, no matter how strong or weak they were, every single one of them exploded at that same instant, turning into blood mist and disappearing completely.

In the span of a finger snap, every enemy on Fish-Man Island, every last criminal and invader, had been wiped out completely, leaving not even the slightest trace behind.

The deafening sounds of battle, explosions, and screams vanished in an instant.

The entire island fell silent enough to hear a pin drop.

In the plaza, Neptune, Jinbe, and all the surviving fish-man guards stood frozen in place, staring dumbfounded at Rei Ao in the sky above.

Weapons slipped from their hands and clattered to the ground, yet none of them even noticed.

King Neptune looked at the now-empty plaza. Just moments ago it had been packed with enemies, but now not a single one remained.

He rubbed his eyes, thinking he must be dreaming, while waves of shock crashed through his heart.

T-This is real? That man just raised his hand, said one sentence, and erased every enemy?

What kind of power is this? Has the Sea God descended?

Jinbe was completely stunned too.

He had roamed the seas for years. He had seen Yonko, seen Navy Admirals, seen countless top-tier powerhouses—but he had never witnessed anything this terrifying.

A single sentence had wiped out tens of thousands of enemies. This had already surpassed everything he knew about Devil Fruits and Haki.

He bowed deeply toward Rei Ao, his heart filled with awe and gratitude.

This man might be overbearing in the way he acted, but he had truly saved all of Fish-Man Island.

Rei Ao looked at the stunned crowd below and paid them little mind.

He raised his hand again, and an invisible force swept outward. In an instant, a transparent barrier appeared around the outer edge of Fish-Man Island, firmly enveloping the entire island.

The barrier gave off a faint glow and contained terrifying power. Even if a Navy Admiral attacked it with full strength, they still wouldn't be able to break it easily.

After finishing all that, Rei Ao's voice rang out across the entire island once again.

"From this day forward, Fish-Man Island is under my protection."

"If anyone dares come here again to cause trouble, you've already seen what happens."

"And one more thing—starting today, Princess Shirahoshi of Fish-Man Island is my woman."
