Chapter 86 Lox: All I want is a clean and obedient fishman island!
"On your trip to Fishman Island, you must eliminate the current king's brother, Daken, without exception."
"And everyone in this old guy's lineage, and the group of guys who follow him on Fishman Street."
"Eliminate them all, leave no one alive, you son of a bitch!"
Rocks' voice sounded somewhat muffled, yet it was full of murderous intent.
Brian felt a chill run down his arm as the message came through the Den Den Mushi.
The wrath of Lox, the overlord of the new world, is going to torment Daken.
"Fishman Island?"
"Isn't that our territory? What's going on, Captain?"
Brian was somewhat surprised.
Having been a member of the Rocks Pirates for some time, he had a general idea of just how large the territory they controlled was.
More than half of the New World is the territory of the Rocks Pirates.
The only difference lies in the degree of control over these territories.
For example, Beehive Island is the old stronghold, so the intensity of the crackdown is the greatest.
Secondly, there are the numerous black markets, trading venues, and auction houses scattered throughout the New World.
Further down are territories that are controlled but not fully managed, such as some vassal states and powers, where paying tribute is sufficient.
Fishman Island falls into the third level: under control, but not completely under control.
The development of the nation is still the responsibility of the current Dragon Palace Kingdom, which only needs to pay tribute annually.
"A bunch of bastards, they're all traitors."
"Due to the recent riots in the New World, that old guy Daken has taken the initiative to collude with pirates at this critical juncture, causing a huge impact on Fishman Island."
"Several of our caravans were looted and all the people were killed."
"If this matter isn't settled, how can I face all my brothers under my command?"
Lox was clearly angry; this was betrayal.
In the world of One Piece, betrayal is the greatest crime, punishable by death, as a warning to others.
"I see, I understand now."
Brian was unfamiliar with Daken, and this part of the story had not appeared in the original work.
Perhaps it appeared in the original work, but it didn't affect the overall situation and wasn't recorded.
Regardless of all that, if it didn't exist in the original story, Brian would only consider it a bug caused by his arrival in this world.
It's not a big problem and won't affect the overall situation.
Rocks' voice continued to come.
"Deacon, the current king's brother, has been quite restless lately."
"Taking advantage of the chaos in the New World, he gathered a group of radicals in Fishman Town and spread the idea of Fishman supremacy throughout Fishman Town and even the entire Fishman Island."
"They are all extremists who hate humans, and they even compare our Rocks Pirates, who protect Fishman Island, to a cancer on par with the Celestial Dragons."
"Damn it, who are these guys trying to disgust? Do they think I'm one of those Celestial Dragons, a bunch of trash?"
"They're so blind to compare me to the Celestial Dragons, it's disgusting."
This is where Rocks got really angry.
What kind of eyesight do you have to compare him to the Celestial Dragons? You must be blind.
If it weren't for this, he probably wouldn't be so angry.
Rocks is a member of the D. clan, and he's sworn enemies with the Celestial Dragons.
"Was no one on Fishman Island stopping them?"
Brian asked a thought-provoking question.
"Of course there are. The current king has been trying to stop it, but he's a complete waste of space and utterly useless."
"It's a pity that the old king of the Dragon Kingdom, although obedient, is too mediocre, like a piece of smelly and hard coral."
"His son, Prince Neptune, is quite capable, but he is still young."
"That guy from Fishman Street named Fisher Tiger has a good grasp of the big picture, and he's quite capable. He's been keeping the situation under control."
"However, my strength is not enough to control the entire Fishman Street. I'm still a bit short of the mark."
Fishman Island is one of the few transit points in the world that connects the first half of the Grand Line with the New World, making it extremely important and not to be lost.
Aside from Fishman Island, the only way to smoothly enter the New World is through the passage beneath the Red Line.
But this is a private passage for the World Government and the Navy, and has nothing to do with pirates.
Which kind-hearted pirate goes to the New World via the World Government's Red Line Passage?
To put it bluntly, if pirates want to enter the New World, they basically only have one route: Fishman Island.
Of course, if you're capable, you can walk on the calm zone, or even walk in the sky.
For pirates, the only regular route to the New World is Fishman Island.
Because it was so important, years ago, Rocks personally led his men to take over Fishman Island.
Rocks, who believed in ruthless rule, carried out a massive purge on Fishman Island, killing all those who refused to submit.
Under the threat of violence, the Ryugu Kingdom surrendered, and Fishman Island was brought under the control of the Rocks Pirates.
Considering the location of Fishman Island and the actual situation at the time, Rocks did not carry out a major overhaul of Fishman Island.
Apart from arranging for people to protect and monitor the island, the normal operation of Fishman Island remains unchanged and is still the responsibility of the Ryugu Kingdom.
In recent years, the Dragon Kingdom has maintained its annual tribute payments, and the two sides have maintained a fairly good relationship.
After taking control, he wasn't too harsh on Fishman Island, only requiring them to continue paying tribute annually.
Thanks to the protection of the Rocks Haze Group, the number of people being trafficked on Fishman Island has decreased significantly in just a few years.
After all, it was the Rocks Pirates' flag that was being planted, so the pirates in the New World naturally had to be careful.
It doesn't matter if you don't have eyes, the Rocks Pirates will make you have eyes.
"I didn't expect these merfolk to have forgotten the pain of the past in just a few years, and now they're choosing to cause trouble."
Neptune and Daken were uncle and nephew.
To put it bluntly, it all comes down to the abuse of power.
"Your mission this time is to wipe out all these troublemaking pirates, fishmen, and mermaids, leaving none alive."
"Let's see if Neptune and his son are any good. If not, kill them and replace them with a more obedient king."
"The entire island is now in your hands. You decide who should be killed."
"In short, there is only one requirement for this mission."
A cold smile curled at the corner of Lox's mouth; it wasn't a smile, but the mockery of a predator watching its prey struggle.
"After this, I want to see a clean and obedient Fishman Island."
"Got it, let's make an example of them, okay?"
Brian nodded in agreement.
"Okay, then I'll leave it to you. You can contact Lingling if there are any other issues later."
"I'm giving you three months this time. That should be enough for you to handle Fishman Island and your own personal matters, right?"
"That's more than enough, thank you, Captain."
"Okay, let's meet at Beehive Island in three months. There will be a new big operation then."
"Okay, I understand."
"That's settled then, hang up."

The Den Den Mushi was disconnected and retracted back into its shell.
