Chapter 131 Arson
After Shark Pepper demonstrates his Super Transformation, Jinbe agrees to teach him for a while.
Although the maintenance time is a little short, at least it has a normal form, which can be used as a special move when the time comes.
Besides, the normal form doesn't necessarily mean that Fish-Man Karate cannot be used. Shark Chili has a characteristic that is very similar to Jinbei, and that is great strength.
Jinbei was once famous for his extraordinary strength. He felt that it would be a shame for Shark Pepper, who had such great strength, not to learn some fighting skills.
So in the next few days, Shark Chili stayed with Jinbei, and Zhang Da followed Princess Otohime to various places in the Ryugu Kingdom to give speeches and collect signatures.
A large amount of signature papers are delivered to Ryugu Castle every day.
In addition, every time I go to a place, I usually work for half a day and play for half a day, and I have visited some of the famous attractions in Fishman Island.
When we came out, in addition to taking the Ryugu Castle, we also experienced the fish bus and fish taxi, which were different bubbles installed on various fish to carry passengers.
This experience made Zhang Da feel like he was dreaming back to modern society.
As for the most famous mermaid bay, Zhang Da could also responsibly say that it was just so-so. It was nothing more than a little more beautiful scenery, a little more mermaids in swimsuits, the mermaids spoke a little better, looked a little prettier, had a better figure, and were a little more enthusiastic towards people...
It’s nothing, there aren’t many other advantages besides that. When leaving, Zhang Da didn’t even show any reluctance.
Of course, Zhang Daye and the others are not just there to play, they are also responsible for protecting Princess Otohime when she is giving a speech.
Zhang Da had already mentioned to Neptune that some people might not be able to accept Princess Otohime's views and take irrational measures.
Neptune decided to send more people to protect the princess that day, and among the additional people happened to be Hodie Jones, who was a prominent figure in the army.
Zhang Da could only sigh that Neptune was really good at selecting people. This was simply like asking Tom to protect his canary.
But this makes it easier for them to focus on defense.
This is the sixth day that Zhang Daye and his friends have arrived at Fishman Island. Zhang Daye feels that it is about time for them to leave as it would not be nice to keep disturbing others.
As for Princess Otohime's safety, it can be handed over to Shark Chili, who can stay here on the pretext of learning Fish-Man Karate.
With his ability, he can still block a bullet if he is prepared in advance.
It was a sunny day, and the bright sunshine always made the residents of Fishman Island feel happy.
Princess Otohime was no exception. When she went out to collect signatures today, she specially brought her four children with her, but she just asked them not to get too close and to take them somewhere else to play after she was done.
The ones entrusted by the princess to protect them were Jinbei and Shark Chili. In addition, at Shirahoshi's request, Zhang Da also asked Tom to play with her.
Bai Xing was always very lively when playing with Tom. Soon, he put a bubble-shaped swimming ring on himself and Tom and swam around in the air.
People in the square saw the lively and lovely little princess
Zhang Daye, Altria and Rui Mengmeng, as usual, accompanied the princess in the speech and helped to organize the papers in the three large autograph boxes from time to time.
In order to improve efficiency, the princess had three signature boxes placed in front of the platform, and people lined up in three teams to put in their signature papers.
Since Princess Otohime and her four children went out at the same time, the defense force would certainly not be too weak. There was a guard post almost every ten steps in the square, and the soldiers would stare at anyone with a fierce look seriously.
Relatively speaking, the security work outside the square was much more lax. When several team leaders were studying how to deploy personnel, under the guidance of Hodie Jones, they overlooked many places suitable for ambushing snipers.
It's not their fault. The square is surrounded by tall buildings, and unless they send out thousands of people, they won't be able to take care of them all.
Even if Neptune himself was the king, there was no reason for him to send thousands of people at once, so it gave Hodie Jones room to operate.
In fact, Hody Jones had not originally planned to take action so early, but Princess Otohime has been active too frequently recently and the effect has been too good.
If she continues like this, she will have collected enough signatures in less than a month, and by then it will be too late to kill her.
He must kill her now and put the blame on humans, reigniting the conflict between the fishmen and humans, so that he will have the opportunity to carry out his next activities.
So, when the signing campaign was in full swing, three special bullets hit a box almost at the same time.
Those bullets seemed to be specially made for arson. The moment they hit the box, the flames engulfed the signature papers in the box at an incredible speed.
The scene was suddenly quiet for a second, and then there were bursts of screams and exclamations:
"It's on fire!"
"Put out the fire!"
"what is going on?!"
Some people in the square wanted to escape immediately, while others wanted to help put out the fire, but they were all evacuated by the Neptune soldiers in the square.
Although the incident happened suddenly, they were all professionally trained and knew how to deal with it.
Some people evacuated the civilians, some people fetched water to put out the fire, and some people moved closer to the royal family to protect their evacuation.
Because the distance was too far, no one heard the gunshots and there was no time to determine whether it was man-made or accidental, so no one ordered a search immediately. At this time, the safety of the royal family and the people was the first thing they had to consider.
At this time, Zhang Da was also trying hard to find the location of the arsonist, while also being on guard against Hodie Jones's hidden gunfire.
He didn't care about the autograph boxes and the like. If they were burned, so be it. He could just collect them again. The most important thing now was to save the princess' life and get evidence of Hodie Jones' assassination of the princess as soon as possible.
However, Princess Otohime was different. She rushed to the burning signature box immediately, trying to rescue those signatures that had not yet burned.
In her eyes, these autographed papers were everyone's wishes that she had collected with great difficulty. They were the hope of Fishman Island. In her panic, she had not even thought about collecting them again later.
Two soldiers stepped in front of her in time to dissuade her: "Your Highness, please remain calm! Please evacuate immediately!"
"That is an extremely precious signature, we must rescue it!"
Princess Otohime completely ignored her frail body, nimbly dodged the soldiers' obstruction and flew into the fire like a moth.
It was at the moment when she was out of the protection of the soldiers that Hodie Jones pulled the trigger with a brutal look on his face on a high ground outside the square.
"bite!"
Altria appeared in the murderer's sight in a blue dress and silver armor. A sword had been waiting on the trajectory of the projectile. It seemed as if the projectile hit the blade accurately instead of the sword hitting the projectile.
