[Pirate] I! Orochimaru! I will never split! Chapter 184

When Brooke carried Sea Minister Hippocampus to Hard Shell Tower, the sight before him greatly shocked him. The area around Hard Shell Tower was scattered with human pirates, thrown over by the Target-Target Fruit, lying in disarray.

Just then, a deafening crash broke the silence. The gate burst open, and an extremely corpulent shark, like an arrow from a bow, shot out of Hard Shell Tower, carrying Luffy and Orochimaru.

Luffy, standing in a bubble, couldn’t hide his excitement. His eyes narrowed into slits, and he shouted at the top of his lungs, “Off to the Sea Forest!!!”

Orochimaru, on the other hand, looked around with disinterest. He didn’t want to go to any forest with Luffy… He wanted to find the treasure vault… He wanted to play by himself!!

Turning his head, he saw Brooke carrying Sea Minister Hippocampus. Orochimaru mechanically raised his hand and waved. Immediately, the two people and one shark vanished from everyone’s sight.

Soon, a Luffy, a shark-skinned merman, and a snake appeared above Fish-Man Island.

Shirahoshi, filled with guilt, curled up in Megalo’s mouth, (。•ˇ‸ˇ•。) looking extremely well-behaved.

Poor Megalo was choked, tears welling up in its eyes. It swam with difficulty in the bubble-encased air, continuously retching.

Shirahoshi, however, looked around with excitement, muttering, “Is this what they call an adventure?”

Luffy and Orochimaru also looked around curiously, as they knew little about Fish-Man Island. Luffy smiled particularly brightly.

“Hahahaha? Hmm? If being excited is an adventure, then you’re going to the Sea Forest, right? What kind of place is that… Is it an interesting place?”

Shirahoshi pursed her lips, trying hard to hold back tears. Her voice was slightly calm, but her eyes sparkled with a hint of anticipation:

“That’s a graveyard… I’ve never been there since it was built. It’s the place I’ve most longed to visit in my heart for the past ten years.”

Luffy listened to her words, silent for a moment, then didn’t press further. Suddenly, he saw a group of strange-looking things in the sky, but they were too far away to see clearly. In the end, he could only give up, but he was still a little curious.

Megalo had been flying in the sky for a while now, and it was almost rolling its eyes from being choked. Its two shark fins flapped desperately, striving forward, sweat pouring from its entire body.

Megalo couldn’t help but retch, almost spitting out Shirahoshi. Luffy mumbled with a hint of dissatisfaction, “Be careful… shark.”

Immediately after, Luffy couldn’t help but sneeze, complaining a little.

“Oo(•́₋₍•̀ ) It’s all your fault, shark, my nose is itching too.”

Shirahoshi asked with some concern, “Luffy-sama, do you have a cold?”

Orochimaru suddenly showed disdain for the sweating Megalo, instantly transforming into a snake and coiling on Luffy’s hat: “No… Someone must be cursing him, after all, idiots don’t catch colds.”

Luffy puffed out his cheeks and tugged Orochimaru’s tail.

“Don’t call brother an idiot!”

Orochimaru annoyedly shook off Luffy’s hand, don’t just pet me randomly.

After flying for a while, Luffy suddenly saw Chopper and Sanji, surrounded by crowds below, as well as the injured Hachi the octopus.

Luffy’s heart was burning with anxiety. He jumped down abruptly, looking at Hachi with a worried expression.

“Hachi, what happened to you?”

Hachi just kept repeating, urging them to leave Fish-Man Island quickly.

At this moment, Megalo, who had been struggling in the air, finally ran out of strength. It slowly descended to the ground, and with an uncomfortable retching sound, the huge Shirahoshi was spit out from its mouth.

The group of people who had been shouting about the Straw Hats trying to kidnap the mermaid princess seemed to be under a paralysis spell, instantly falling into extreme astonishment, all dumbfounded.

They stared blankly at the mermaid princess slowly rising from the ground. Megalo’s saliva adhered to Shirahoshi, shining in the sunlight.

Orochimaru looked at Shirahoshi, covered in saliva, and showed disgust. He instantly formed a hand seal, and water “whooshed” over Shirahoshi from head to toe.

Shirahoshi didn’t understand why Orochimaru did this and looked at him with a bewildered expression.

Orochimaru transformed back into his half-snake form, floating in the air with a blank expression, saying, “Saliva is too dirty.”

Shirahoshi was a bit dazed and asked,

“But Orochimaru-sama, isn’t your water also sprayed from your mouth…?”

Orochimaru instantly froze, his expression solidifying. Luffy and Chopper, beside him, could no longer hold back and burst into wild laughter, slapping the ground repeatedly with their hands.

“Hahahaha… Hahahaha!”

Sanji, who was smoking, turned around when he heard the laughter and, unprepared, caught sight of the enormous Shirahoshi. He instantly seemed to be under a paralysis spell, standing frozen on the spot, turning to stone.

And Orochimaru was also struck by Chopper’s mockery, and also turned to stone with him.

Just as Luffy and Chopper didn’t know what to do, a wild, sinister laugh suddenly echoed from the sky.

“Hahaha… Princess Shirahoshi… Marry me!”

The fish-men gathered around Shirahoshi, glaring at the person flying from the sky, stepping on coral, and roared, “It’s this guy! He’s repeatedly tried to harm Princess Shirahoshi’s life! And now he shamelessly proposes! He’s utterly shameless, there should be a limit to jokes! Vander Decken!”

Vander Decken in the sky ignored the shouts of those around him, still grinning sinisterly.

“Answer me quickly! Shirahoshi!! It must be yes! Ah hahahaha.”

Shirahoshi looked up at the person in the sky, biting her lip slightly, her body trembling slightly, hesitating to speak…

“Um…”

Vander Decken was overjoyed, shouting, “What… Is that a yes?!”

Shirahoshi first showed a hint of timidity, but finally gathered her courage and looked up.

“I’m sorry! You’re not my type!

Orochimaru-sama said you’re a pervert!!

Pervert, die!”

Shirahoshi’s words echoed in the air for a long time.

The air seemed to suddenly freeze. Vander Decken’s body stiffened, looking at Shirahoshi in disbelief.

A simple sketch of Orochimaru suddenly appeared in Shirahoshi’s mind. Her tail lifted high, and she swung it forcefully towards Vander Decken in the sky, as if swatting a fly, directly slamming him hard to the ground.

With a loud “bang,” like a clap of thunder exploding in everyone’s ears, Vander Decken’s body instantly plummeted to the ground like a meteor struck by a cannonball, out of control.

Immediately after, with a “boom,” Vander Decken heavily crashed to the ground, and the stirred-up dust instantly engulfed his figure.

The ground also trembled violently from the enormous impact, and the surrounding fish-men were shaken off balance.

Vander Decken lay in the deep crater, his face full of astonishment and confusion, his eyes wide open, his mouth agape, but he couldn’t utter a single word for a long time. Only a trickle of blood slowly seeped from the corner of his mouth, looking particularly striking in the dust.

Vander Decken died.

The surrounding fish-men dropped their weapons in shock, raising their hands Σ(ŎдŎ|||)ﾉﾉ

Princess Shirahoshi, still crying, was dumbfounded.

Who taught her this!! Give them back their timid, crybaby, gentle princess!!!!
