Chapter 189: Sneak attack

“Who are you going after?" Asked Nami.

"You mean to go after Vander Decken?" Jimbei seemed to understand, she was the only one capable of tracking him down.

"Wait a goddamn minute!" Shoute the clown.

"What makes you think I'm going with you? I'm not risking my neck to save your friends."

"Of course you do. " Vivi walked to him, making Buggy uneasy.

"As an honorary Strawhat, you have to pull your own weight."

"I'm not a Strawhat!"

"He is not a Strawhat!"

Both Buggy and Luffy shouted together.

Vivi sighed. "I said honorary…maybe I should have said temporary. In any case, unless you want to remain here, you will need to stay with us for a bit longer. And that means…"

"That you have to work. " Nami gave him a look.

"And don't think I have forgotten about that treasure you promised…you are not going anywhere." 

"We are deviating from the issue again…" Complained Jimbei.

"Quite, Mister Jimbei was talking about retrieving a key, some letter, and freeing the King before Luffy jumped into action, correct?  " Robin said.

He noted "Yes…emmm. If we do things this way, the public will react very positively I believe. And it will not increase the bad blood between humans and fishmen." 

"Yeah, they will probably cheer you on, Luffy!" Said Chopper.

Luffy frowned.

" I'm only doing this to save our friends…"

He glanced at Shirshoshi, she was looking extremely worried.

"And for the Crybaby…if anyone cheers me on, I'll be seriously put off."

"Mermaids can cheer me on all they want!" Sanji jumped with joy.

"Okay, so we have a plan, sort of." Said Nami.

Jimbei looked at Luffy.

"You have my thanks, Strawhats….emmm"

He looked conflicted about something.

"Is there something else?" Asked Robin.

Jimbei scratched his head.

"Well, the strategy name…"

"Who cares about the name, are you kidding me?!" Shouted Nami.

"We already wasted one hour of the three we had. At this rate, the King is going to be executed before we leave the forest" Vivi pointed out.

"Oh…right, let's get moving then" Jimbei conceded.

Fishman district Noah, current headquarters of the Fishman Pirates

Inside the colossal ship called Noah, we're the Vander Decken pirates discussing something.

"My love will never be!" Decken shed tears in front of his men.

"That's why had to shave my head in shame!"

"But why did you shave only the top, Boss?" One of his men asked.

"Captain is probably better this way"

"Yeah, I heard that there is plenty of fish in the sea"

"Don't try to cheer me up! I wanted this specific one!" Shouted Dreken.

"I mean…there are also young fishes…" The men wanted to cheer their Captain but felt a bit uncomfortable with his…preferences.

"That's not the point! " Cried Decken.

"And how dare she tell me that I'm not her type!"

Decken walked around the ship and while he doing this, he was remembering the humiliation he had suffered and his anger kept rising more and more.

"That's it!" He screamed.

"I want her dead! If she will not be mine, she will be of no one."

"Mmm, boss?"

"Is he okay?"

His men wondered about the mental stability of their Captain.

"Everything that I sent to her was deflected by that bastard, Strawhat. No...that won't do, I need to send something that he won't be able to deflect, something big…something like...I got it!" Decken jumped with excitement.

"Boss?..." 

"All I have to do is break it apart. Break everything apart!. I just had a wonderful idea, bahohoho!"

Decken ran outside with his crew closely following.

He stood in front of the Noah for a few minutes,  just smiling.

His crew was getting nervous.

"Captain, this idea that you had… "

"Could you tell us, Boss?"

Decken removed the glove of his right hand and placed it on the ship.

This one immediately started to shake and make loud cracking noises.

"What's happening?!" They cried in horror.

"Can't you tell by looking?" Smiled the Captain.

"A long time ago, the fishmen got together and created this colossal ship, the Noah. And I just touched it with my right hand, the one that always targets her…"

"You can't mean?"

"But is too big!"

The crew cried in disbelief.

Decken laughed.

"Size doesn't matter!. Everything I touch with my right hand will go to my beloved Shirahoshi!"

The ship started to lift in the air.

"It's moving!"

"It's really moving!"

The crew stared in horror at the sight.

"That's right, I threw it with my devil fruit ability!" Exclaimed Dreken.

"The ship is half the size of the island, there will be nowhere to run. Soon it will be the end of Shirahoshi and Fishman Island!"

"But that's our home too!" 

"Is necessary to go that far?"

He started to laugh like a madman, not listening to what his men were saying.

The Captain then rose his hands in the air while watching the giant ship move up. "You'll die soon, you will all die soo- " 

All of a sudden, Decken stopped and became completely silent, taking his men by surprise.

"Sir?"

"Boss, what is it?"

"I think there is something wrong with the Captain"

Then, they all saw Dreken lower his arms and plummet to the ground before it stopped moving altogether.

The crew hurried up to his side while the giant Wadatsumi also moved forward, unsure of what was happening.

The first man got to his side and saw blood pouring from his head. It started to float in the water,  creating a red mist around Decken.

"Captain!" oh no!"

As they were all focused on their Captain, no one noticed that the giant ship had stopped moving up before it started to fall back down.

It didn't take much further examination to reach the obvious conclusion.

"Captain Vander Dreken is dead!"

"Someone shot him in the head"
