Chapter 193: Chapter 194: Fierce Strike on the Fishmen "Please, let her go!" The one who let out a sorrowful plea was a child’s mother. The fishman used only one hand to seize her daughter, the powerful fingers had already sunk into the girl’s fragile skin. "Mom... mom..." The girl’s face twisted in pain, her big eyes were filled with terror, and tears flowed down uncontrollably. Facing her daughter’s cries and plea for help, the mother could only helplessly beg, hoping the fishman would let them go. Her manner made the fishman’s laughter even more proud and unrestrained. "Let her go?" The fishman laughed loudly with his head raised, "What a delusional fantasy!" "You group of criminals from Arlong Empire, long ago should have all died out, you bastards, yet shamelessly still live sneakily here!" He bared his teeth. The revealed cruel smile made people feel a chill down the spine. "This is all what you brought upon yourselves! Now, even if you want to die, it won’t be so easy anymore!" He slightly exerted force with the hand holding the girl. The girl immediately screamed. "No... don’t!!" The fishman laughed heartily, completely ignoring the child and mother’s cries, the strength in his hand grew stronger and stronger. The girl’s arm turned a strange red, and in an instant turned terribly pale. He actually wanted to tear off the girl’s arm alive. There wasn’t the slightest bit of pity in his eyes. The cute-looking girl to him seemed like a bug he could casually crush. "No!!!!" Amidst the desperate scream, a strong hand suddenly landed on the fishman’s arm, interrupting his movement. The fishman was slightly stunned, and his arm could no longer move a bit. Before he could react, a solid fist had already smashed into his face. The fishman’s body crashed into the cave wall, the rock surface instantly covered in spiderweb-like cracks. Jotaro’s face was deep as water, not caring about the fishman’s painful howls, and instead took the girl from the fishman’s hand and gently pushed her beside the mother. To the child, this stinky face was just as scary as the fishman. The girl didn’t even dare say a word of thanks, and directly buried her head into her mother’s arms, only secretly observing with the corner of her eyes. Jotaro turned around, shielding the mother and daughter behind him. It’s no exaggeration to say, the fishman’s actions had already touched his bottom line. Even if the fishman was terrifying, even if his physical condition now was bad, he could hardly suppress the anger in his heart. The fishmen were still showing stunned expressions, after all, never had anyone dared to suddenly lay hands on them. Even less had anyone been able to send them flying with just one punch. "Wait! Don’t fight with the fishmen!" Nojiko panted heavily and ran from behind. Although she hadn’t known Jotaro long, and wasn’t clear about his background, she already had a certain level of understanding of his temper. She had a kind of premonition, that Jotaro, upon seeing the fishmen’s actions towards humans, would never stand by idly. Once angered, he wouldn’t just get slightly mad. With this guy’s personality, it was very possible he’d beat the fishmen to the point of disability. But the consequences of attacking a fishman... Nojiko shook her head, simply unable to believe it. That’s why she so urgently ran over, trying to stop him. This was also Genzo’s intention. To be honest, the people of Cocoyashi Village weren’t afraid of death, but turning against the fishmen at this point in time would turn all of Nami’s years of effort into nothing. Just when the dream was almost within reach, how could they let things go wrong at this crucial moment? But everything was already too late. When Nojiko arrived at the scene, what she saw was the fishman’s face twisted with fury, and the wall beside covered with cracks. Even with a toe, one could guess what happened here. Jotaro turned his head slightly, glanced at her, and said in a firm tone, "Woman, quickly take the people here and leave." "You bastard!" Salt-grill’s gaze shifted from the injured companion’s body, and roared angrily, "Despicable human actually dared to hurt noble fishman, I will tear your corpse into ten thousand pieces!" Salt-grill’s anger soared, just as he was about to act, but the subordinate beside him stopped him. "Minister, wait, this person is exactly the outsider I told you about!" "So it’s him!" Upon hearing this, Salt-grill’s anger faded slightly, his expression uncertain, and he didn’t strike immediately. Jotaro showed slight impatience, provoking, "What? Why haven’t you made a move? I’m waiting for you to tear me into ten thousand pieces, idiot!" Salt-grill gritted his teeth and said, "Despicable human, you hurt my companion, we fishmen absolutely won’t forgive you!" "But before I kill you, I have some questions to ask you." He took out a cigarette case Jotaro was familiar with, "Answer my questions honestly, I’ll let you die a bit quicker. Where is the origin place of this cigarette?" Jotaro frowned. At first, he didn’t understand why the fishman would ask this question. However, combining what he had seen and heard on the island, he quickly reached a conclusion, and smiled meaningfully, "My hometown." "Just as I thought!" Salt-grill’s brows jumped, showing a ’just as expected’ expression, the last trace of dread in his eyes disappeared completely. Just like his subordinate had said, in this world, people who could enjoy such quality cigarettes were either rich or noble. At first, he was worried Jotaro was a noble from some kingdom. Then, when dealing with Jotaro, he’d have to weigh the power behind him. But clearly that wasn’t the case. Jotaro could only be considered a producer of luxury goods. The cigarette’s quality was very high. Salt-grill believed, if their fishmen could seize Jotaro’s hometown, from then on, their pirate group’s income would rise by several levels. Jotaro, knowing his thoughts, showed a meaningful smile. Salt-grill loudly asked, "Tell me the location of your hometown." Jotaro calmly replied, "North latitude 30 degrees 47 minutes, east longitude 139 degrees 44 minutes." The fishmen’s intentions were extremely obvious, and Nojiko suddenly realized. "Wait a second, once you tell them your hometown’s location, they fishmen will definitely think of ways to occupy it. Your hometown will also fall into the same situation as Cocoyashi Village." Unfortunately, she realized too late. Jotaro had already spoken. "Ah hahahahahaha..." The fishmen laughed proudly. To them, Jotaro looked like a fool. "This guy actually really told us!" Salt-grill turned his head and asked, "Did you record the coordinates?" The subordinate nodded and said, "Recorded. As long as we have a sea chart, we can reach there anytime." Jotaro’s expression was calm, kindly reminding, "My hometown is not in East Blue." Salt-grill arrogantly said, "Whether it’s in East Blue or not doesn’t matter. Once our pirate group first takes East Blue into our pocket, the other seas won’t escape either!" "Yare yare, even for me, it’s very difficult to return there." Jotaro pressed his hat. The calm tone was filled with terrifying intent. "But, if you really want to go there, I can help you, with these fists of mine." According to what he understood, aside from system help, there was also the way of crossing worlds via soul separation. And the first step of crossing... was the soul leaving the body. At least at this step, he could help them. In Nojiko’s widened eyes, Jotaro suddenly charged left and right, with his own strength, flipped over those terrifying fishmen who to them were like monsters. "ORA ORA ORA..."
