Jinbe calmly looked at Hody Jones and said, "What, do you want to talk with your fists?"

With just one sentence, Hody Jones snapped out of it. He had been so enraged that he forgot the disparity in strength between himself and the other party.

However, the atmosphere had been built up to such a point that he needed someone to give him a way out.

But Jinbe didn't give him one, and none of his subordinates seemed to be holding him back.

In fact, the subordinates were still debating which side to help, so they had no time to think about stopping their Captain.

For a moment, Hody Jones was stuck in an awkward silence.

After a long pause, Jinbe finally said, "You've been Captain for so many years, your strength should have improved a bit, right? But earlier today, you still collapsed without any resistance. Do you still not understand what kind of existence you've provoked?"

Hody Jones frowned slightly, finally understanding Jinbe's hidden meaning.

He looked at Jinbe with a shocked expression, "You mean that power today, was… was it that guy named Ye Yu's?"

Jinbe nodded.

Hody Jones was stunned. He had thought that power was some kind of secret weapon developed by Ryugu Palace.

He never expected it to be Ye Yu's.

But what kind of power was it that it could be so overbearing, even knocking him out? He didn't even have the ability to resist before he fainted.

"Impossible, you're not trying to say that power was Conqueror's Haki, are you? It's not like I haven't seen Conqueror's Haki. Conqueror's Haki can't knock me out at all."

Hody Jones had seen Conqueror's Haki before.

When Whitebeard appeared on Fish-Man Island years ago, he had used it to deter pirates invading Fish-Man Island.

But that level of Conqueror's Haki was not enough to knock him out.

Hody Jones simply didn't believe Ye Yu could possess such terrifying Conqueror's Haki; in fact, he didn't even think it was Conqueror's Haki.

Jinbe said coldly, "Otherwise, why do you think King Neptune would issue such an order? Ye Yu is someone who can destroy the entire Fish-Man Island. If you dare to provoke him, not only will you be killed by him, but the entire Fish-Man Island will be destroyed because of you."

Hody Jones furrowed his brow, trying to see if Jinbe was lying to him.

But Hody Jones could see that Jinbe was probably telling the truth.

Thinking of this possibility, Hody Jones swallowed hard. He was scared.

That power was truly terrifying, so much so that he still felt lingering fear.

Knocking out over a hundred thousand people instantly, even he, who had withstood Whitebeard's Conqueror's Haki without much effect, had no ability to resist whatsoever in front of Ye Yu's Conqueror's Haki, just like other ordinary Fishman, without any resistance.

Before he was knocked out, he didn't even have any psychological preparation, nor did he realize what kind of power had knocked him out.

It was too terrifying.

Hody Jones fell silent. He also knew very well that Ye Yu could easily kill him.

If Ye Yu merely destroyed Fish-Man Island, he wouldn't be so worried, but Ye Yu could easily kill him, and he would die without even seeing Ye Yu's face.

Thinking of that fear, Hody Jones felt a chill run down his spine.

Hody Jones's voice even trembled as he spoke, "How could that guy be so powerful? I can even withstand Whitebeard's Conqueror's Haki. Is Ye Yu's strength perhaps beyond Whitebeard's? Jinbe, do you know what you're saying?"

Hody Jones still wanted to prove it was false, otherwise, all the things he had done against Ye Yu would probably be remembered by him, and then would he still have a way to live?

However, his hope was shattered by a single sentence from Jinbe.

Jinbe said coldly, "After you were knocked out, I and the kingdom army met Ye Yu and the others. They were in Fish-Man District at the time."

Hody Jones was stunned.

He could no longer deceive himself.

There was no possibility that Jinbe's words were a lie.

What had he done?

His subordinates were also so scared they nearly fainted.

They had actually done such things in front of Ye Yu. If Ye Yu wanted to kill them, they would die an inexplicable death without even seeing Ye Yu's face.

It was too terrifying. This feeling of not knowing when one might suddenly die was even harder to bear than waiting for the other party to pull the trigger.

Hody Jones and the others dared not say anything more.

Their eyes were blank, their minds in chaos, and they no longer knew what to say.

What kind of terrifying existence had they provoked?

Seeing that they had realized the seriousness of the problem, Jinbe's purpose in coming here had been achieved.

He was here only to warn them, not to lecture them.

After achieving his goal, Jinbe also turned and left.

As Jinbe reached the door, Hody Jones, gradually recovering, asked with a trembling voice, "Can that Ye Yu really compare to Whitebeard? Why is his Conqueror's Haki stronger than Whitebeard's?"

Jinbe didn't turn back, leaving only one sentence: "Why can't it be stronger than Whitebeard's?"

After speaking, Jinbe's figure disappeared through the doorway.

After Jinbe spoke, Hody Jones slumped into his seat.

His forehead was covered in cold sweat.

The other Fish-Man Pirates subordinates also trembled and slumped to the ground.

Hody Jones recalled the words Jinbe had left behind.

That sentence was somewhat vague.

But after careful consideration, Hody Jones became even more terrified.

"Jinbe doesn't mean that Ye Yu's strength is stronger than Whitebeard's, does he?"

Thinking of this possibility, and remembering Jinbe saying that Ye Yu could destroy Fish-Man Island.

Hody Jones knew how great this possibility was.

If that was the reason, then all the things they had done before were equivalent to frolicking in a minefield, provoking Shinigami.

However, the news that Ye Yu's strength was even greater than Whitebeard's was even more shocking.

Despite being filled with resentment towards humans, or rather, he wanted to use Fishman's resentment towards humans as a tool to seize power, Hody Jones knew very well how terrifying Whitebeard's strength was.

The strongest person on Fish-Man Island was not Hody Jones, but Jinbe, and Hody Jones himself knew this very well.

Even Jinbe was nothing compared to Whitebeard.

The Four Emperors were the Four Emperors; Whitebeard was known as the Worlds Strongest Man, without any exaggeration.

Hody Jones, who had personally witnessed how terrifying Whitebeard's strength was back then, knew very well that compared to Whitebeard, let alone himself, even Jinbe, the strongest on Fish-Man Island, was no different from an ordinary person.

But Ye Yu's strength was even greater than Whitebeard's; he could no longer imagine what kind of person such a person was, and how terrifying he would be.

He had even incited so many people to provoke him, and at that time, he was still in Fish-Man District and knew about his actions.

Hody Jones felt that his life now was probably just one hint of displeasure from Ye Yu away from being lost.
