"What is that!?"

Countless residents of Fishman Island looked up, terror filling their eyes as they saw the massive creature above them.

Like a mountain, Isobu loomed with its single crimson eye gazing down at Fishman Island, as if it could squeeze inside at any moment.

This was Fishman Island – the homeland of all merfolk and fishmen.

Normally, if any Sea King tried to approach Fishman Island, it would immediately be repelled by the Ryugu Palace army.

But this turtle-like Sea King had already reached the outer coating of Fishman Island.

"What do we do, Fukaboshi? Should we mobilize the army!?" asked the second prince his face pale as he stared at Isobu.

Fukaboshi's expression was grim. "No, absolutely not. If we do that, Fishman Island might be completely destroyed."

He couldn't even imagine the destruction that a madman with a ten billion Berries bounty could cause if he came onto Fishman Island.

After all, this man had even invaded Mary Geoise.

He had killed over a hundred Celestial Dragons. Why would he care about a single Fishman Island?

As they trembled in fear, Isobu suddenly opened its massive mouth, gathering raging chakra into a dark black sphere.

"No!!!"

Fukaboshi's eyes widened with horror. He knew the destructive power of this Bijūdama (Tailed Beast Bomb). Without hesitation, he rushed forward and shouted:

"Uzumaki Naruto-dono, please stop! Our Fishman Island is under the protection of the Whitebeard Pirates!"

"Wait, Isobu!" Naruto stopped Isobu's movements and smiled. "Since we're here, there's no need for you to act."

He pointed towards the surrounding sea. "You should be interested in this place too. Go play around nearby until I call you."

Isobu let out a low growl, dissipating the Bijūdama. After dropping Naruto into the coating, it swam off into the surrounding sea, wagging its tail.

It was indeed interested in this place. Living here felt extremely comfortable.

Not to mention, there was delicious food everywhere.

Isobu opened its mouth and bit down on a large fish swimming by, swallowing it in just a few bites.

Inside the coating, Naruto and the others fell freely from the sky of Fishman Island.

Robin crossed her arms.

"Cien Fleur: Wings!"

Hundreds of hands sprouted from her back, forming wings that allowed her to descend gently.

Nami and Mei, who had no way to control their fall, turned pale and clung tightly to Naruto, screaming.

"Don't be so nervous!" Naruto laughed, holding both women as violent flames erupted from his feet.

Like rocket thrusters, they slowly descended to the ground.

The two women finally breathed in relief, only to be immediately captivated by their surroundings.

Buildings made of multicolored shells, countless beautiful and nameless plants, and mermaids swimming everywhere.

However, when Nami saw the fishmen, so different from the mermaids, her eyes filled with hatred.

"These damned fishmen…"

Years ago, Cocoyasi Village had been ruled by Arlong. Combined with their recent ambush, Fishman Island was a place of hatred for her.

Mei's eyes sparkled with wonder as she looked around, then turned to Naruto.

"Menma-dono, where… exactly is this place!?"

She had once been a top jōnin of Kirigakure and was now the Fifth Mizukage of Zero Village.

She had seen many things in her life.

But she had never heard of a place like this existing in the shinobi world.

Naruto smiled. "This is the other side of the ocean. It's a place shinobi have never explored. It's normal you wouldn't know."

Mei nodded in understanding.

The Land of Water was an island nation, so Kirigakure naturally had deep knowledge of the ocean.

The shinobi world seemed vast, but compared to the ocean, it was tiny. Humanity had explored less than a tenth of it.

"This is… the other side of the sea!?"

Mei looked around in awe, not doubting Naruto's words.

Nami and Robin didn't doubt it either. After all, the pirate world was vast, with many unexplored islands even now.

As they toured Fishman Island, Fukaboshi, the eldest prince of Ryugu Kingdom, finally arrived.

"Uzumaki Naruto-dono, I deeply apologize for the danger you encountered outside Fishman Island. Those fishmen acted without permission…"

Before Naruto could respond, Nami interrupted coldly, glaring at him.

"You think we'll believe you?"

After what had just happened, her impression of merfolk and fishmen had plummeted.

"This…"

Fukaboshi was left speechless and hurriedly said:

"This is really just a misunderstanding. Marco the Phoenix from the Whitebeard Pirates is on our island right now…"

Naruto couldn't help but laugh. "You're trying to pressure me with the Whitebeard Pirates? Are you admitting you were behind the attack just now?"

Fukaboshi swallowed hard, his unease growing.

The oppressive feeling Naruto gave him was too overwhelming.

A ten billion Berries bounty, slayer of over a hundred Celestial Dragons, a man who had directly fought a Marine Admiral…

Each feat sent chills down his spine.

Even the former Pirate King Roger had never dared kill Celestial Dragons.

"Uzumaki Naruto-dono, we already apologized for that incident back then. You even killed Arlong…" said Ryuboshi angrily.

"Now it's you who has come to Fishman Island seeking revenge. It's only natural for us to fight back."

"Besides, Fishman Island is protected by the Whitebeard Pirates. If you attack us, you'll be making enemies of them."

"You'd better leave Fishman Island right now. We don't welcome you."

Hearing his foolish brother, Fukaboshi broke out in cold sweat, quickly saying:

"Uzumaki Naruto-dono, that's not what we mean. This is all a misunderstanding."

As he spoke, he wished he could slap his foolish brother away.

This was Uzumaki Naruto before them, a man who had killed a hundred Celestial Dragons. How could he possibly fear the Whitebeard Pirates?

People like him hated being threatened the most.

Just as Naruto was about to speak, his expression changed slightly as he looked towards a group of enraged fishmen in the distance.

Fukaboshi followed his gaze and shouted:

"Hody Jones, what are you doing!? Stop this immediately!"

As he spoke, he desperately signalled to Hody Jones.

If they couldn't kill Uzumaki Naruto in the ocean, now that he was here on Fishman Island, they should just surrender.

But Hody Jones' eyes were blood-red, his hair turning white. Having completely lost control, he could no longer listen to reason.

"Lowly human, I'll rip out your throat right now!"

He roared, and he and his subordinates charged at Naruto like rampaging sharks.
