Chapter 134 Getting Old in a Second
"This combo is beautiful!" Zhang Da also gave Jinpei a thumbs up.
If he wasn't eating at this moment, Jinbei felt that he would be happier: "Next, we have to take him back to see His Majesty the King."
Altria saw Hody Jones struggling to stuff another handful of capsules into his mouth and warned, "He doesn't seem to have given up yet."
Hodie Jones stood up tremblingly. The effect of the drug made him temporarily ignore the pain in his body. At this moment, his bloody head made him look particularly hideous. He didn't care about the side effects of the drug or any plan. He just wanted to kill the people in front of him.
"What?" Jinbei turned around and felt that this guy was really tough.
Hodie Jones suddenly disappeared from where he was, and almost at the same time Jinbei raised his arm to block Hodie Jones's fierce punch.
The huge force caused Jinbei's feet to leave two marks backwards. "The power has become stronger again. Is there no limit to the effect of this drug?"
The speed is very fast, but not so fast that Jinbe cannot react. After all, his speed is only comparable to Luffy's Gear Second.
After a few rounds, Hodie Jones was hit in the chest by Jinbei again and fell to the ground.
Jinbei stepped forward and stopped his hand as he was about to take the medicine: "If you take any more, you will die without me having to do anything."
"It doesn't matter if I die!" Hodi Jones grabbed Jinbei's ankle with his other hand, trying to get him to move away.
"He's really hopeless." Jinbei moved his feet away and grabbed Hodi's wrist, swung him around and smashed him to the ground on the other side.
Hodie Jones coughed up a mouthful of blood, and the deadly drugs in his pocket spilled all over the floor. He struggled a few times, but finally he had no strength to resist anymore.
…
In Ryugu Castle, Hodie Jones was lying on the ground with his hands tied behind his back and his feet tied.
The remaining dozens of deadly pills were placed on a plate in front of Neptune, with Jinbe accompanying him in case of any accidents.
Princess Otohime, the left and right ministers, Zhang Tatsuya and others watched Neptune's interrogation.
"In other words, it was you who assassinated the princess and stole the treasury, Hodi!" Neptune asked.
"Yes, I did it, but unfortunately..." It was a pity that the bullet was blocked by the hateful human, and unfortunately he was caught by Jinbei in the end. Hodi Jones had no regrets, only unwillingness.
"Why on earth would you do such a thing?!" Neptune's face was filled with murderous intent, and the trident in his hand smashed a small hole in the ground.
He thought stealing the treasury was nothing, but hurting Otohime was the thing he could not tolerate the most. If he hadn't asked clearly, he wanted to stab Hodi to death on the spot.
Hody Jones stared at Princess Otohime fiercely: "It's such an eyesore. How dare you hinder us from taking revenge on humans? How dare you spread the word about peaceful coexistence with humans all over the island? And you're almost successful...
That woman is such an eyesore. To me, Princess Otohime deserves to die. No, just killing her is not enough. I want to use her to once again ignite the hatred of the residents of Fishman Island towards humans.
Shatter that stupid daydream in an instant, and to do that, just blame the humans for her murder!"
The ministers on both sides shouted, "Shut up! How dare you speak rudely to the princess!"
"Hodi!" Neptune's suppressed anger was ignited by him, and he raised the trident and stabbed it at his forehead.
"No!" Princess Otohime wanted to stop him, but there was no need.
Neptune stopped himself, with the tip of the trident just a few centimeters away from Hoddy Jones' face, and everyone looked at him in amazement.
Hody Jones laughed arrogantly: "Killing me is useless. I am not the only one who hates humans in Fishman Street! Go ahead, Great Knight..."
As he was speaking, Hodie Jones felt something was wrong. Why did he feel so tired after saying these two sentences? And his voice didn't seem right either.
Then, Hodie Jones felt his bound hands and feet loosened, but no one helped him to untie them. Why?
As the effect of the deadly drug wore off, side effects began to appear. Everyone watched as Hodie Jones quickly turned from a three-meter-tall, sturdy man into a skinny old man, as if there was a leak in the air.
A lot of his originally thick white hair had fallen out, and the remaining hair looked gray and lifeless.
Even the voice of speaking became weak.
As all the muscles in the body atrophied, the rope that was originally tied tightly fell off naturally.
But no one was in a hurry to tie him up again at this time. Looking at his condition, it was doubtful whether he could stand up.
"Is this the side effect of the deadly drug?" Neptune put down the trident. He was in this condition, and he wouldn't live long if he wasn't killed. Otherwise, he could be kept for a while to warn others.
Jinbei said: "Using drugs to overdraw vitality and gain temporary strength is not the right way after all."
Neptune nodded and said, "Let's destroy the remaining ES drugs."
"I think it's better to keep it." Zhang Da also said, "Exercise is exercise, but it's also good to keep a trump card to fight the enemy with."
"The presence of something like this will make people dependent on it and lose the courage to fight to the death. Then they won't be able to exert their full strength."
Jinbei has the mindset of a warrior, advocating a desperate fight when encountering a strong enemy. That way, perhaps one can unleash one's potential, defeat the enemy and further improve one's strength. However, drugs will wear away that kind of desperate fighting spirit.
"At worst, we can just add a rule that it can't be used until the very last moment. That way, if we encounter an invincible enemy in the future, there will still be a slight chance of a turnaround." Zhang Da also remembered that Alabasta had something similar, whether it was called Hero's Water or Hao Water.
After drinking it, your strength will increase dramatically, but the price is death. Although that group of people were still killed instantly by Lao Sha after drinking it, that was because the natural ability was too difficult for ordinary people to solve. If it were someone else, at least they could have fought back and held on a little longer.
"In that case, I will personally keep the murder drug, and this matter will be kept secret from the outside world. I will never take it out unless the survival of Fishman Island is at stake."
Neptune decided to keep the medicine. He was a king, not a pure warrior. Keeping a few more tricks might be equivalent to leaving an extra way out for his citizens.
The left minister stepped forward and asked, "Your Majesty, how should we deal with Hody Jones? And as he just said, even if we kill him, there will still be many people in Fishman Street who hate humans. For the safety of the princess, why not temporarily stop the collection of signatures?"
"No." Princess Otohime objected immediately. "This is an evasive approach. We have finally come this far. We cannot stop here."
"First, sentence Hodie Jones to life imprisonment and inform the whole island of his crime. As for Fishman Street..." Neptune had a headache. There were tens of thousands of people living there, and it was impossible to make a simple and rough decision.
After all, among the tens of thousands of people there are both criminals and children who know nothing.
A few children will walk out of Fishman Street like Ms. Xia Li in the future and live like ordinary people , but most children will learn from criminals and become a new generation of criminals.
Nowadays, many ordinary people will instinctively feel fear and contempt when they mention Fishman Street. The people in Fishman Street have also begun to have a tendency to hate outsiders, and not just humans.
The longer we delay, the more serious the problem will become. Even without Hodie Jones, problems will arise sooner or later.
Zhang Da also heard that the situation on Yuren Street was very similar to the slums in certain countries shown in movies...
What is the root of this problem, productivity and production relations? Damn, he is not good at political science.
