Fishman in One Piece

Chapter 31 Electric Current Push!

"What is happened? Have you eliminated all the guards stationed outside? "

His body bore numerous stripes and resembled a figure enveloped in a bag. The fishman asked, astonished, "Why is there complete silence? "

His name is Zeo, a fishman who was raised alongside Hody.

In the room, besides him, there were two additional fishmen: one with a large mouth and another resembling an octopus.

Brett showed no interest in conversing with them; they were simply insignificant to him.

As he approached Arlong's residence, he had already dealt with both the fishmen guiding him and those guarding outside, utilizing only a few lightning strikes.

Currently, Hody's remaining followers were few.

"Hody, this is your doing, isn't it? " Brett directed his gaze at Hody. "The mermaid's disappearance? "

"Jiahahahaha! ! "

Hody let out a loud laugh, "What are you saying, Brett! This is what I wish to ask of you. You are the one who colluded with humans to abduct and exploit mermaids for profit! "

"Brother Arlong discovered your actions and was cruelly killed by you! ! "

"Brother Arlong, whom I held in the highest regard, fell at your hands! ! "

The corners of Hody's mouth curled upward, exposing a set of menacing sharp teeth. "Well, this now gives me a motive for revenge! ! "

Although Arlong was unable to move, he had not yet succumbed to unconsciousness.

After hearing Hody's remarks, he couldn't help but mentally curse this madman for unrelentingly attacking his fellow Fishman.

In fact, he himself was far less deranged than him.

"One final question, Hody,"

Brett inhaled deeply. It was extremely challenging to contain his fury in such a situation. "Where are the mermaids? "

Hody laughed boisterously. "Zeo! ! "

The fishman Zeo knowingly tossed the weapon he was holding to Hody.

It was a crimson trident.

Hody caught the weapon, pulled something from his pocket with his other hand, and placed it into his mouth. "Forget about it, the mermaids are about to face death! Just pay for their lives! ! "

Brett's pupils constricted.

'Did he intend to murder the mermaids to exacerbate the conflict entirely? The future that Shyarly had envisioned might now be lost.'

"Huus! ! "

Hody hissed.

His muscles swelled, his black hair began to turn white, and his eyes turned red.

"You will be my testing subject, bastard. This power was originally intended for Jinbei! ! "

Hody cackled.

The other three fishmen also discreetly retrieved a few pills and consumed them.

Their transformation had begun. Their body colors shifted, and their sizes increased.

'Energy Steroids? So he got this drug in advance? But it doesn't matter.'

Brett took a deep breath.

Time was of the essence; the mermaids were in peril.

Red scales emerged on Brett's body, along with sharp horns, a thick and lengthy dragon tail, and pointed claws.

"Hody, you are deserving of death. "

"Is that so?"

Hody momentarily appeared bewildered, "But are you capable of killing me? "

"Jiahahahahahaha! ! It is extraordinary to possess even half of the noble fishman lineage, yet you opted to relinquish it after consuming the devil fruit? "

His demeanor swiftly shifted to one of rage, "Brett, you fool——"

Lightning crackled in the atmosphere, faint sparks shimmered around Brett's legs.

The electric currents coursing through his body were converted into a tremendous force by means of specialized techniques, propelling his body forward.

Everything else seemed to decelerate while he advanced at a normal pace.

With each step, he appeared to transcend time.

Current propulsion!

The reflexes of the Death Squid became apparent at this moment.

Even while at maximum speed, Brett maintained remarkable agility.He reached out and seized Hody by the throat.

Then.

BOOM—! !

Hody was strangled, and the rear of his head was forcefully driven into the ground.

The earth trembled in fury, and debris was sent flying.

"Gah! ! "

Hody's eyes instantly rolled back.

"Hody! ! ! "

There was utter confusion regarding the events that just took place. The trio of fishmen were taken aback.

How could he be so fast!

"I have long desired your death since my youth, and now I can finally fulfill that wish. "

Brett held Hody by the neck and thrust him into the gaping hole created by smashing him into the ground, "Hody——"

"Bastard! ! "

From behind, Hody's three associates charged forward, shouting. Throughout their upbringing, Hody had been their elder brother.

Brett did not turn around, but the electricity enveloping his body transformed into a swirling silver dragon in a heartbeat.

Thick bolts of lightning surged upward, piercing through the entire structure, creating a towering formation reaching toward the skies.

"Waa ! "

The three unfortunate fishmen who had just rushed towards him were entirely engulfed by the thunder, their forms being completely overwhelmed by the electric currents.

Arlong, lying nearby, opened his eyes wide; the dazzling light reflected in his pupils.

Brett, you bastard!

The three silhouettes were forcefully repelled, crashing through the wall of the residence with astonishing speed.

They consumed significantly less medicine compared to Hody.

"Argg! ! "

As the electricity dissipated, Hody, also impacted by the current, was burned and struggled to sit up.

Even Hager, the rear admiral skilled in Haki, would sustain injuries after enduring Brett's electric shock; how could Hody fare any better.

Yet, his wounds were healing at an expedited rate.

"Jiahahahaha! ! "

Hody arose, declaring, "I am now invincible! ! "

The Energy steroids is indeed something remarkable.

Consuming one increases one's strength twofold, with a second yielding fourfold power, and a third resulting in eightfold potency.

However, this augmentation is not boundless.

Otherwise, consuming ten pills will amplify the effect by over a thousandfold, and taking twenty pills will enhance it by a millionfold.

Hody, consumed them in large quantities and has already become invulnerable. This substance is a means of augmenting power through the consumption and extraction of life essence.

Currently, Hody's enhanced durability comes at the cost of his rapidly depleting life force.

"Go to hell! ! Brett! ! "

Hody's physique expanded, causing the ground to fracture merely by his footfall. The trident swiftly sliced through the atmosphere, leaving a crimson afterimage in its wake.

Even a steel plate would sustain a significant impact upon being struck.

Brett effortlessly sidestepped, dodging Hody's attack with ease. Simultaneously, his left hand, enveloped in lightning, had already seized the trident's handle.

"Impossible! ! "

Hody's previously arrogant demeanor shifted dramatically.

Brett's strength rendered him immobile.

Arlong, who was on the ground, displayed an expression of equal astonishment. It was nearly identical to his earlier attck against Hody.

'Surely, it was due to my insufficient dosage of the drug!That must be the reason! How could this bastard be this strong!'

Hody reached into his pants pocket.

"Do you think yourself worthy to fight with me? "

Brett yanked forcefully, propelling Hody forward.

Strands of electrical energy coiled around his right hand, which was prepared for action.

"Electrical Current Push - Giant Shark Swallowing the Sky Fist! "

The air itself began to smell singed from the intense electric light. The fist enveloped in this energy resembled a meteor as it darted through the sky at that moment.

The punch struck Hody's chest with such force that Brett's fist became deeply embedded in him.

"Gaaah! "

Hody's pupils nearly shattered; the clothing on his back tore apart, his body arched in a shrimp-like position, and blood erupted from his mouth.

The immense power was on the verge of sending Hody flying away.

However, the cloud emanating from Brett's body was more rapid, and Hody was ensnared by it.

Lightning arced along Brett's arms.

"This marks the conclusion of your pathetic life, Hody! "

The punch fell like a torrential downpour, akin to a flash of lightning, reminiscent of a cascade of meteors.

Incredibly fast, exceptionally powerful.

Hody's body trembled incessantly, with dents appearing progressively, accompanied by the audible cracking of bones.

Brett ceased his assault only when both of his arms were entirely injured by electric force.

The current application remains unrefined. It is suitable for brief usage. Nevertheless, should the energy be diverted at any point over an extended duration, it risks becoming uncontrollable.

However, this is inconsequential, as Brett has gained sufficient strength to endure electric energy at this stage.

Hody's form was thoroughly contorted, nearly resembling a mass of mud, collapsing to the ground gently as if deprived of bones.

His respiration became increasingly feeble.

Brett gradually exhaled, a process taking approximately two minutes.

'This fight was a lot easier than Hager's. Nonetheless, this is not the time to relax.'

He pivoted and proceeded toward the exit. Those fools were still living, he left them alive to ascertain whether he could extract the locations of the mermaids through torture.

Simultaneously, he retrieved the transponder snail that Aladdin had previously provided and initiated a call.

"Brother Aladdin, the perpetrator behind the abduction is Hody. I have dealt with him, but I don't know the location of the mermaids. Please instruct Brother Jinbei to relay the news to Neptune promptly and commence a large-scale search. This bastard Hody aims to kill the mermaids and escalate the hostilities between humans and Fish-Man Island! "

Brett communicated rapidly, akin to a series of projectiles. Concurrently, he exited Arlong's residence and kicked the fishman Zeo, who lay on the ground.

"I'll see if I can extract the location of the mermaids from Hody's associates. "

Zeo, who regained consciousness after receiving the kick, responded in a notably weak tone, yet his demeanor remained defiant, "I will never—"

"Regarding the mermaids, they have just been located. "

This voice emanated from the other end of the phone.

"Ah? "

Brett was taken aback.

Zeo also appeared astonished.

What happened?
