Unlike Carifa's instant kill of Hody Jones, the Dragon Palace City guards, with Jinbe present, were actually in a tough fight!
Hammond, Ikaros, Decken, and Dosun, empowered by the Vicious Drug, easily led nearly ten thousand Fishman from Fish-Man Street to invade Dragon Palace City.
King Neptune, Prince Shark, Prince Ryuhoshi, and Prince Fūkaboshi were no match for Hammond, Ikaros, Decken, and Dosun after they consumed the Vicious Drug.
Fortunately, Jinbe arrived quickly. With Jinbe joining, the Dragon Palace City side finally stabilized their defense and began to gradually counterattack.
However, Jinbe, due to his camaraderie from growing up in Fish-Man Street, had been fighting by trying to persuade them to surrender.
This caused the guard army to fall into a complete struggle.
"Sister, do we not need to go out and help them?" In the alternate dimension, Alpha looked at the situation outside and asked Carifa.
"No need, this is their own business. How many people die has nothing to do with us. We only need to ensure Shirahoshi isn't harmed," Carifa replied calmly.
Alpha nodded. Her sister made sense. She looked at Princess Shirahoshi's palace, where the guards were currently protecting the entrance, and Shirahoshi was very anxious inside.
However, a maid was comforting her.
The two sisters watched from the alternate dimension.
About half an hour later, someone came to report that Hody Jones, Hyozo, and Daruma had been killed by Aka Shio.
Furthermore, the nearly ten thousand Fishman from Fish-Man Street they led, for some unknown reason, had all become incredibly slick and couldn't even stand.
Upon hearing this news, Jinbe finally unleashed his ultimate move, defeating Hammond, Ikaros, Decken, and Dosun.
At this moment, Hammond, Ikaros, Decken, and Dosun, having consumed too much Vicious Drug, had turned their hair white and their bodies aged.
They had directly become old people on the verge of death.
After the four cadres were defeated, the remaining several thousand extreme fanatics finally surrendered.
However, although this war lasted less than two hours, nearly four thousand people on both sides ultimately died.
After the war, King Neptune was furious.
He first ordered his left and right ministers to be responsible for assisting the wounded, and then immediately led the Royal Army, preparing to clear out Fish-Man Street.
But Jinbe stopped him, stating that this would only intensify the internal conflicts of Fish-Man Island and that the problems of Fish-Man Street should be handled with a gentle policy.
King Neptune agreed, but he felt that Fish-Man Street must first be controlled. Finally, Jinbe suggested that he handle this matter.
King Neptune had no objection, believing that Jinbe's identity was indeed the most suitable to handle this matter.
So Jinbe immediately led the guard army to Fish-Man Street, accompanied by Prince Shark and Prince Fūkaboshi.
Not long after Jinbe left Dragon Palace City with the guard army, a maid rushed to report to King Neptune: "King Neptune, Princess Shirahoshi is missing..."
"What!?" King Neptune was greatly alarmed.
Immediately after, he and his son, Prince Ryuhoshi, quickly went to Shirahoshi's palace.
Upon arriving there and seeing that Shirahoshi was indeed gone, King Neptune immediately ordered a search.
"Father, wait a moment!" Prince Ryuhoshi suddenly spoke to stop him. "The guards of Shirahoshi's palace didn't see Shirahoshi leave, and there are no other traces inside the palace. She was very likely taken away by someone else."
"Someone else?" King Neptune was somewhat puzzled, but he quickly realized the key. "Are you saying Shirahoshi might have been taken away by Red Hawk, sir?"
"Yes, Father, Miss Alpha among them is a Door-Door Fruit Devil Fruit user," Prince Ryuhoshi replied seriously.
King Neptune immediately calmed down. Prince Ryuhoshi's conjecture was indeed very possible, but...
"Even if it's Red Hawk, sir, we must still confirm Shirahoshi's safety. Immediately go to White Star Park and contact Red Hawk to check!" King Neptune said, then immediately left Dragon Palace City with Prince Ryuhoshi.

And at this time, Fish-Man Street.
All the Fishman had horrified expressions. Just a few minutes ago, at least more than half of them were burned to death by a strange flame.
The tragic state before death made them shudder. At this moment, they were terrified, fearing that the terrifying flame would appear again.
Similar to Fish-Man Street were the pirates of Fish-Man Island and some slave traders who had hidden due to the arrival of Aka Shio.
Inside Alpha's alternate dimension, Andy was trying to correct Shirahoshi's distorted view of good and evil, which had been influenced by Queen Otohime.
"Shirahoshi, although I'm reluctant to let you witness the evil of this world at this age, your identity is special, and you must face these things as early as possible!" Andy said to Shirahoshi with a serious expression.
"An... Andy, big brother, those... those things... were those things real!" Shirahoshi's face was somewhat pale, and she sat directly beside Andy.
"Of course they're real. Those were the causes they committed before, which is why they were burned by the Fire of Karma just now." Andy reached out and stroked Shirahoshi's back, comforting her emotions.
Just now, he had intercepted some memory fragments from the souls of those who were burned by the Fire of Karma and let Shirahoshi 'see' them.
Shirahoshi had been protected too well. From childhood, she had lived in an environment nurtured by her parents and brothers.
Even when she witnessed Queen Otohime being killed by Hody Jones, Queen Otohime actually told her not to resent Hody Jones, not to hate anyone.
In this world, which is almost entirely made up of pirates, Queen Otohime teaching Shirahoshi such a view of good and evil, wasn't this raising Shirahoshi to be a naive girl with powerful abilities but no common sense?
And then let that guy Joy Boy use her?
Shirahoshi didn't know what to say. Since childhood, her mother had told her to cherish everyone, including humans.
Her mother firmly believed that if she was kind to others, others would reciprocate with kindness.
But the images she had just 'seen' made her deeply doubt her mother's words. Did she have to cherish such bad people?
Those images made her feel a deep fear.
She looked at Andy, her big brother, beside her, and instinctively moved closer, as if she felt that by being close to Andy, her heart would not be so afraid.
Andy gently stroked Shirahoshi's back:
"Shirahoshi, you possess unique Observation Haki and can hear the voices of others' hearts. This is your talent.
Therefore, in the future, if you hear unpleasant voices, or if others' actions threaten you, don't hesitate to fight back directly!
Only by letting those who harm you die will they not have the chance to harm you.
Do you understand?"
"Shirahoshi... Shirahoshi understands, but Andy, big brother, Shirahoshi is still so scared..." Shirahoshi tightly grasped Andy's hand.
"Don't be afraid, I'm here. No one can hurt you," Andy comforted softly.
——
Outside Fish-Man Street.
Jinbe finally arrived with the guard army. When he noticed that the number of people in Fish-Man Street had greatly decreased and that the Fishman here all looked terrified, he immediately found someone to inquire.
Soon after, Jinbe understood what had happened. Just then, someone came to report that many pirates and humans on Fish-Man Island had been burned to death by strange flames.
This made Jinbe even more certain that this must have been done by Red Hawk, sir!
Recalling the news in the newspaper, it was said that Red Hawk Andy's personality was strange; he could be very good at times, but sometimes he would also show a cruel and bloodthirsty side.
While he was shocked, he also secretly thought that the matter Red Hawk, sir, had entrusted him with must be completed as soon as possible, otherwise, if Red Hawk got angry...
It might affect Fish-Man Island again!
