With empty bowls piled before him, Blaize rubbed his belly and let out a small burp, "Ahhh...What a satisfying meal."

Everyone present in the palace gave him a weird stare, and wondered in their hearts, 'How such a huge amount of food could fit in that small stomach?' ​​

Nothing can be done about it as Blaize's appetite keeps on increasing with his strength. His Sun-Sun fruit powers refine everything that enters his stomach in minutes and use them to nourish his body.

At that moment, a guard came to King Neptune's side and reported something in low voice, but with Blaize's keen perception, he heard everything.

It's the whereabouts of the Demonbear pirates. 'No wonder there's no news of them inside Fishman Island, so they went to the Fishman District!'

King Neptune then notified the DemonBear pirates location to Blaize, not knowing the latter had already overheard the discussion.

Fishman District is part of Fishman Island but due to various reasons, it became a lawless district where the outcasts of Fish-Man Island gathered.

"Do you need any help from us, the Ryugu kingdom?" King Neptune asked as he knows the current situation of Fishman District very well. It became more chaotic after Fisher Tiger's recent acts.

"Nope. Both of us are more than enough to handle everything that comes in our way. As soon as we capture the pirates, we will return to the surface.

We will meet again, King Neptune, Queen Otohime. Till then, Farewell." Blaize stood up from his seat and spoke.

After saying their goodbyes, Blaize and Gion left the Ryugu palace under the guidance of two guards.

Watching Blaize's departing figure disappearing from their view, Otohime spoke: "That young marine is special, he possesses a strong heart and surrounded with a positive vibe."

"Me too - Jamon! There's something extraordinary about him, his disposition is somewhat similar to Roger and Whitebeard, except for the fact that he's a marine.

I will notify a few guards to follow them and watch their backs, just in case if something happens." Neptune said while Otohime agreed.

Even though both of them are optimistic about Blaize, he's still young and needs time to rise.

Fishman District,

The zone consisted of a massive ship, Noah, rested on the sea bed surrounded by arks and massive corals where fish-men lived in and around. It was a giant institution for orphaned children.

Since the Fish-Man District was not part of Fish-Man Island and was located somewhere outside, it became a lawless district where the outcasts of Fish-Man Island gathered.

In the original series, it was closed off after the rise of the New Fishman Pirates.

Unlike Fishman island, the Fishman district isn't wrapped in a bubble. So, the human can only roam the area with the help of Flutter kick coating or bubbly coral.

Right now, a huge commotion is happening at the Fishman District. Fish-men and Merfolks were running along the streets in horror with a fear-stricken grimace.

Twenty or so human pirates covered in bubbles were pursuing them with a playful expression and laughter. Already few fish-men were captured in their nets.

After all, every captured fish-men is worth a lot of Berries, no sober pirate will miss such a great chance.

It may seem cruel but for Fish-men living in the Fishman District, it's a regular occurrence. With no one to protect them, weak and helpless, they can only run for their lives.

Since Fishmen auctions for a luxurious price, many pirate crews visit this place to fish a share of their own.

A rather intimidating man with an imposing presence flashed past the pirates and captured two Merfolks who were just the size of his hands.

He's none other than the captain of the Demon Bear pirates, Demon Bear Ridge.

He was an exceptionally large human, with a broad and muscular physique. Captain's coat hung from his shoulders like a cape over his open grey shirt and black pants.

Just his appearance terrorized all the Fish-men and Merfolks. Towering over 15 feet, beefy in shape, he looked nothing like a human but a barbarian.

Throwing the two merfolks to a pirate behind him, he sternly reprimanded, "What are you guys doing playing around? I told you all to finish the job within half an hour."

He hates it when the crew members fail to heed his orders seriously. At the same time, he knew it's useless to criticize them heavily as they haven't seen the true terror of the New World, unlike him.

He's a cautious person in nature. Before entering the new world he doesn't want to attract unnecessary trouble to himself.

Fishman Island is Whitebeard's territory. It's also the reason why he doesn't want to take the abduction to an extreme. If Whitebeard pirate crew got wind of his action, he's done for!

If not for the lack of funds, he wouldn't bother to catch these fish-men and merfolk. But he's in urgent need of money.

His dream is to join the Beast pirates, the crew whose strength is on par with Whitebeard. For that, he needs to strengthen his crew first.

Once he is recruited under the Beast pirates, he can roam the New World unhindered and do as he pleases. Then, he doesn't have to fear the pursuit of Marines or other pirate crews.

"Sorry, Captain. We don't know catching them will take a lot of time. These fishes are good in the water and slippery too."

Demon Bear Ridge snorted and asked, "Where is Glave? Gather the crew, we are leaving. If we delay any longer, we may encounter the Fish-man guards or the infamous Sun pirates."

"Hakhakhak, why should we fear them when we have you, captain?" A lanky pirate commented with a smirk on his face.

Punching the pirate to the ground, Ridge scowled. "Idiot. We are 10000 meters underwater and will be at a disadvantage if we fight here. Get lost and do as I say."

'A bunch of dumb fucks!' Ridge muttered himself and moved towards where they docked their ship.

Compared to other pirate crews in grand line, his crew is strong but they are just a bunch of rookies in his eyes.

With the commotion they caused, the Fishman Kingdom may have already dispatched some of their guards here. There's also an infamous Sun Pirates whose fame skyrocketed in recent days.

He heard they target human pirates who cause a disturbance at Fishman District. Even though he neither fears the Fishman Kingdom army nor Sun pirates, fighting them underwater is nothing but foolish.
