In the conference room, Emperor Xing and Kuai Xing had already left with Little White Star, and those who stayed here were the 'adults' who were discussing the next major events on Fish-Man Island.
"Hody Jones is the one who originally said, 'Otohime was killed by humans.'"
Shark Star looked at the people in the conference room and added: "This is what he said personally."
"Hoo? Have you already admitted it? So decisive? Is there some conspiracy? Jinbei, do you know this guy?"
Kazan heard from Shark that it was hard to understand why Hody Jones admitted his behavior so easily.
"Sorry, although everyone in Fishman Street gives me respect and calls me the boss, I don't know much about most people's personalities."
Jinbei shook his head.
Hody Jones is neither from the Sun Pirates nor the Dragon Pirates, but belongs to the new generation of Fish-Man Island.
For an older generation of fishmen like Jinbei, he does not have a deep understanding of the thoughts of these new generation of fishmen.
"According to the evidence we have, this guy did not lie. He was indeed the one who said this three years ago. However, we cannot be sure whether he was the one who did this to Otohime."
Neptune crossed his arms in front of his chest and looked gloomy.
"He said it was not him who shot the Queen Mother. He saw it that day. The bullet that hit the Queen Mother was shot from the sky."
Shark Xing's face also looked very ugly, and he obviously felt uncomfortable mentioning the death of his mother again.
"We can't tell whether he told the truth. For now, the murderer has not been found..."
Minister Zuo tugged at his beard and sighed. They, Longgongcheng, had really had a headache over this matter for too long, but in the end this was indeed the result.
"I still know a little bit about this kid Hody Jones. If he says it's not the case, then it probably really isn't the case. However, even so, he can't escape the involvement. If the murderer in the end is not a human being, then it is this guy.
The rumors have put the current Fish-Man Island into this precarious state."
The right minister is the commander of the army, and Hody Jones is one of the army captains. He is his direct subordinate. He can be regarded as the person who knows Hody Jones best here.
"What about Otohime? Is the clue just cut off?"
Neptune was somewhat unable to accept this result. What he wanted to catch most was Otohime's murderer.
"Trouble, if the bullet comes from the sky, the range will be much smaller if it is on the ground, but Fish-Man Island can't explain anything."
Jinbei frowned and felt a headache at the current situation.
Generally speaking, bullets coming from the sky are just something done by people with Devil Fruit abilities and those with the ability to fly.
But on this Fish-Man Island, because of the criss-crossing waterways and bubbles in the sky, even ordinary residents of the Fish-Man Island can go to the sky, but they don't usually do so. This doesn't mean anything, the scope is still the same.
big.
Kazan looked at the scene in front of him and felt a little helpless listening to their conversation.
He's not that smart and can't think of any way to find out who's behind it, but he at least knows something.
That is, the person who killed Otohime would never be found if we just rely on the group of people in front of us to find him. Otherwise, he would not have been exposed two years later in the original work.
It's a pity that too much time has passed, otherwise he might still be able to recall who that person was, but he really has no memory now.
The only one who had an impression was Hody Jones. When he first met him, Kazan knew that this guy was related to Otohime's death.
But now it seems that it is not directly related to Otohime's death.
In this case, Kazan really has no clue at all.
Moreover, the first thing on his mind right now is to deal with the guy from Huo Huo Bai Xing, and other things must be put aside for the time being.
"There will be no results from such a discussion. My suggestion is to wait for Xiao Feng to finish Bai Xing's matter first, and then you can ask his opinion. However, I can't guarantee that Xiao Feng will do such a mindless thing.
There is a way."
Kazan, who had expected that this matter would not come up with a solution, did not want to stay here any longer.
For Bai Xing's sake, he is willing to help Ryugu City deal with this matter.
But the problem is, I have the heart, but I don’t have the power.
There is no problem in finding him in a fight. In this small and tiny area of Fishman Island, Kazan dares to claim that he is the strongest.
But he can only rely on his proud younger brothers and sisters for this kind of thinking.
"Well, I agree with Kazan. Don't worry, solve the problem of Princess White Star first. You don't want Princess White Star to continue to be locked up in the Shell Tower, right?"
Although Jinbei is a martial artist and his brain is not particularly bright, he can see the situation clearly.
As soon as Bai Xing was mentioned, everyone in Longgong City fell silent. If they wanted to talk about the apple of their eye, they would really have nothing to say.
"Then, let's keep it like this for now. Xiao Feng will handle Bai Xing's affairs in the next two days. Don't worry about it, just leave it to him. I'll go find some little guys to play with."
Kazan waved his hand and left with Monet, heading towards the Shell Tower of White Star.
Before the matter is resolved, unless there are powerful people like Kazan and Jinbe around to protect him, Shirahoshi will stay in the Shell Tower as expected.
"Nana, what do you think about this matter?"
"No opinion, it's none of our business."
Monet's posture was as gentle as ever, but the words coming out of his lips were cold.
Selfish.
This is a characteristic of all members of the monster family.
Learned it from Kazan.
Kazan is a selfish person.
As the selfish head of the family and the one his younger brothers and sisters have looked up to since childhood, he will inevitably infect some of his habits and traits to the children in a subtle way.
For example, Sugar, who was raised by Kazan from a milk baby, has suffered greatly from it. She is careless and tiger-headed... This is just a matter of personality. Kazan is a large part of the reason why Sugar has become the less girly person she is today.
Kazan influenced the character of his younger brothers and sisters.
Selfishness is one of them, and its impact is profound. Almost every member of the monster family is somewhat selfish.
Unless they are friends with whom they have experienced life and death, people in the monster family will only care about their own family affairs.
No matter how cruel what other people encounter is, if it is not beneficial to their monster family, they will choose to ignore it.
"It's the same as Xiao Feng's original point of view, not to interfere in other people's affairs."
Kazan smiled, but he didn't think there was anything wrong with Monet's point of view. He just wanted to remind the little girl: "But you forgot one thing."
"Um?"
"Baixing is our sister, so this matter has something to do with us."
"...I don't want this sister anymore."
"Pfft... Why did you suddenly become willful? You really caught Nissan off guard."
Kazan couldn't help laughing when he saw Monet's cute lips pursed, and stretched out his hand to rub Monet's soft long hair: "Baixing will definitely cry to death if he knows you said this, that girl came back from the Forest of the Sea.
Aren’t we quite dependent on you?”
"Just kidding."
My sister still wants it.
Monet lowered his head and smiled secretly. He just wanted to mess around with Nissan suddenly, and he didn't have any objection to Bai Xing.
"Okay, even if it's for Shirahoshi, just be a little more considerate. Nissan knows that Nana doesn't like to deal with these things, but Nissan is stupid and really can't think of a way. He can only rely on Nana."
Kazan bowed angrily and tilted his head in front of Monet, trying to see the little girl's expression to judge Monet's attitude.
"Why does Nissan think Nana can solve this matter?"
Monet reached out and gently pushed Kazande's big head away, not intending to let him get too close.
Because ever since she started thinking about love affairs, she could no longer be intimate with Kazan and remain indifferent.
My heart will beat loudly, hard, and rapidly, and I can no longer maintain a normal state of mind.
"Hmm...after all, it's smarter than Nissan."
Kazan has unlimited confidence in his younger siblings, just as they have confidence in himself.
In Kazan's eyes, Monet is a low-key and smart sister, and may have a unique view on this matter that is different from Fon Klay.
"...Well, the clouds in the sky of Fish-Man Island are very thin, and it is a flat surface."
"Hmm, yes, by the way, why are there clouds on Fish-Man Island?"
"...It's not important!"
"Then what did you say?"
Kazan scratched his head innocently.
He didn't understand how he made Monet angry. Looking at the little girl's chest rising and falling violently, Kazan's eyes were full of confusion.
"Nisan, don't talk! Let me talk!"
She was obviously thinking about Otohime just now, but the next second she jumped to the question of why there are clouds on Fish-Man Island.
No matter how good-tempered Monet was, he had rare ups and downs.
"Oh oh."
Kazan saw that Monet was really a little angry with him and decided not to speak, but he really believed that he was not wrong.
But my sister has to get used to being unreasonable and making trouble.
"The place where Otohime was murdered was at the Coder Square in Geelong. Yesterday, Robin-chan and I went shopping and heard Robin say something about Princess Otohime.
Prince Shark just said that Hody Jones was killed by bullets from the sky.
Geelong Court Square is very empty, and the geographical environment there, no matter how crowded it is, cannot hinder the view of the sky. It was daytime when Princess Otohime was killed, and there was enough light. If someone was hiding in the sky, they would definitely be seen.
Moreover, it seems that everyone has forgotten the ‘gunshot’. Without the assistance of little Kerra, in that open environment, anyone with a little bit of domineering power can detect it.
Whether Princess Otohime was killed by a ‘gun’ is a question.”
"Is that what it looks like?"
To be honest, Kazan understood the meaning of these words, but he couldn't quite figure out what they meant.
"No one witnessed the murderer of Princess Otohime's death, and I don't think Hody Jones was the only one who looked up to the sky at that time. After all, the residents of Fishman Island knew that they could float in the sky with bubbles. What's more, after Princess Otohime died, the sky above Fish-Man Island was immediately surrounded by super giant sea kings. Everyone's eyes were focused on the sky, but no one saw anyone."
"So, it's not like someone is shooting a hidden gun in the sky."
"Well, this can definitely be ruled out. Jinbei said that he was also in the Geelong Cord Square at the time. With a strong man like Jinbei who has mastered the domineering power of seeing and hearing, the open sky is not even as safe as being in a crowded square. Exposed The risk is higher.”
"But if the murderer was in the crowd, why would the bullets shoot through the sky?"
"Maybe that person wasn't at the scene at the time? Nissan, you have to know that Brother Feng, I, Robin, and Sugar can kill B in the same way with a gun without being discovered by anyone. Princess Ji, she just needs to use her devil fruit abilities for assistance.
No, you don’t even need to use a gun, Brother Feng just relies on brute force to throw the bullet, and it won’t make any sound."
Kazan fell silent after listening to Monet's words. It would be nice if someone could help analyze it. Now he can more or less grasp the problem.
"First go to Shark Star and look at the bullet."
"It's meaningless, Nissan. Whether that bullet is used or not won't change anything. Whether it's an intact bullet or a used bullet casing, it can be used to kill people. Looking at that bullet will actually affect our lives." idea.
It can basically be determined that he is a Devil Fruit user."
"In that case... I probably have some clues."
Kazan was silent for a while, then silently led Monet forward, and finally arrived at the gate of the Shell Tower where Bai Xing was.
"Nissan?"
Monet thought Kazan would open the door, but Kazan did not, but silently stared at the marks on the door.
Suddenly, Kazan stretched out his hand and pressed a button on the door.
"Look."
"bullet?"
Monet lowered his head and looked at the small round bead Kazan handed over. It was a used bullet casing.
It turned out that the bullet casing was stuck in the screw button. The original screw button was knocked in by the bullet and was already embedded in the door.
"That guy was neither in the air nor in the crowd. He probably did it in the sea outside Fish-Man Island. In that case, no one would have discovered that he was the murderer unless he jumped out on his own."
Kazan remembered it. In his memory, the guy with Huo Huo Bai Xing was a multi-legged Devil Fruit user.
Target fruit.
If Kazan remembers correctly, this is the correct name.
As long as you record it by hand, no matter where the target is, the things you throw will automatically track the target and shoot towards it until it hits or is blocked by other things.
Kazan remembered Robin saying that Otohime went door-to-door to lobby the residents of Fish-Man Island in order to gain support.
Later, when collecting signatures, I basically communicated and even shook hands with every resident of Fish-Man Island. If they were recorded as targets at that time, then who would still remember who that person was.
"Monet, call and ask Xiao Feng to catch him alive."
