Chapter 5, Dangerous Encounter Battle

An affront to justice! An affront to justice!

The fishmen can communicate underwater, while humans cannot. As long as Figo is not allowed to surface to raise the alarm, their actions will not be exposed in advance

What is going on

This time I am not here to help, so I must trouble my brothers to make a few more trips. It is somewhat hot advancing into the city, and I would like to take the opportunity to swim a couple of laps when the supply ship arrives

No one took the assistance of Commander Figo for granted, and the guards responded with understanding and laughter, with some even expressing a desire to find an opportunity to compare swimming skills with Figo

While waiting for the ship, Xiao occasionally glanced back at the exit of the advancing city. As he expected, the supply ship had not yet arrived; Figo had arrived first

In accordance with the schedule, it was the turn of the third-tier guards to transport supplies. Captain Xiao led 17 guards, excluding the three on patrol, to ascend to the surface platform

What?

The sea surface platform became tranquil

Under the sea, Figo swiftly ascended while clutching three unconscious mermen who were rolling their eyes.

However, being of little significance and lacking the courage to interject, I could only steal glances at Xiao's expression, observing his laughter.

The deeper one goes into the prison, the stronger the inmates become. In terms of rank, the three squads in the first three levels are of equal status, but as the leader of the third level, he always feels that he is stronger than Feige and the second leader.

Level 3, extremely strong

Xiao Hehe smiled and said: "Ah, that’s true. Even if Figo wants to kill, he must target the large sea kings to provide a feast for everyone. As for the smaller ones, you could almost finish them off by yourself. But to hunt the large sea kings, you would have to provide them with a feast first"

In the next moment, Figo suddenly felt an unusual wave of current behind him, as if a sizable fish was colliding towards him.

The flush on his face could not be concealed any longer

The atmosphere has become more subtle

The penetrating chill startled him

After greeting the captain of the supply ship, Figo leaped down on tiptoe, creating minimal splashes, like agile fish, as he submerged into the water

He then became aware, his eyes darting left and right, and saw that two other fishmen had formed a triangle with the fishman who had just attacked him from behind, trapping him in the middle, with fierce glints flashing in the six fish eyes

Figo was quite surprised

The strength will consequently double again

Figo, the captain, might be thinking of killing a sea king to provide everyone with an extra meal, just like the warden. Thus, he forced a smile and said

What seemed like a joking remark was delivered by Xiao in a serious tone, subtly mocking Figo as a good-for-nothing.

A year's effort has not been in vain

"Figo, are you here to help again?" The guards on the third level greeted warmly.

Figo is not only actively involved in escorting and detaining prisoners; that would be too conspicuous. He usually comes to such matters whenever he has the time, as it is not particularly tiring for him

Figo stared in astonishment at the fish-headed man: "Pangtouyu? No, a fellow clan member?!"

Two minutes ago

But how could Figo be so direct

Xiao Mo stood silently at the edge, unable to interject a single word, feeling somewhat displeased

A remarkably straightforward statement was made

The city of the prison is not very large, and any signs of disturbance are first known to the guards.

The body acts faster than the mind, as Figo sweeps his hands back, his body swaying like a nimble swordfish in the water, creating a distance.

After a brief moment of shock and daze, the nearest merman to Figo immediately launched an attack from behind, yet unexpectedly...

Figo felt as if he had transformed into a fish, and the ocean had become his home

Indeed it is

The abnormality of the atmosphere became very apparent

I am afraid I am about to get hurt

His goal this time is quite simple—to test the effects of the power of the fishman obtained four days ago

No wonder it is marked as rare

Figo turned his head and smiled, saying: "I don't have that ability, Captain Xiao"

In the presence of ordinary Marine prison guards, he maintained a somewhat aloof demeanor. Now, seeing the guards from his division being so familiar with Figo, the captain of the first division, left him with an indescribable feeling.

This is not something particularly special

The three fishmen, who were desperately clinging to the supply ship, followed it out of the advancing city

But that is not a sea fish

Physical fitness: 1024

This is also the effect of the power of the fish people, making Figo more sensitive to the fluctuations of the ocean currents

Figo was taken aback, noticing a hint of deliberation in Xiao's gaze. Although he was not well acquainted with Xiao and had never had any conflicts with him, they had barely managed to be nodding acquaintances over the past year

The power of the fishman is approximately equivalent to underwater breathing

Advancing City can be described as isolated from the world, and staying there for too long can easily drive a person mad. Taking advantage of the supply ship's arrival, many have ventured out of Advancing City, swum a couple of laps in the water, and breathed in some fresh air.

In three days, there will be direct competition, and I truly have no intention of concealing anything

In four days, a supply ship will arrive

They naturally support Figo, who fights alongside them all day on the front lines against the pirates.

He is a very perceptive fellow

Fortunately, at this moment, the supply ship that arrived helped Xiao escape from the exceptionally awkward situation

Quickly eliminate him, and do not let any noise escape!

Boom! In the calm doldrums, the tranquil sea surface suddenly erupted with waves, and the splashing spray drenched Xiao, who was standing at the edge of the boat

In a world of pirates where the vast majority of the territory is ocean, such an ability is incredibly precious

Thus, Figo's gaze towards the three fishmen turned unfriendly, his right fist clenched, and the muscles on his arm bulged like the gnarled branches of an ancient tree!

However, this time he is not here to help

What illness has this guy committed? With the one-year term nearing its end, and amidst some rumors, Figo said lightly, "Do you want to be the deputy warden? Do you think I am in your way, is that it?"

He shouted: "Prepare to receive the ship"

He no longer even looks at Figo, as if he wants to shout in order to make the guards forget what happened before

Warden Raul is about to leave, and after Jin Qie takes over, the position of deputy warden will be vacant. If no personnel are transferred from the Navy Headquarters or the World Government, it will certainly be filled by one of the three captains.

In the seawater, where breathing through the mouth and nose is impossible, Figo's skin this time took on the function of respiration, absorbing the oxygen from the seawater, allowing Figo to experience almost no sensation of suffocation or breathlessness, as if walking on solid ground

As the supply ship docked steadily, three fishermen were poised to act, but unexpectedly, just as they were about to move, someone suddenly jumped down from the ship.

The three fishmen charging towards him suddenly felt a subtle sense of foreboding. At the moment Figo swung his fist, the unease intensified, as they sensed the tumultuous currents rolling in, surging forward with an overwhelming force.

Indeed, just as he left, a robust figure charged through the place he had originally occupied

At this moment, Figo also roughly understood the reason for their appearance and couldn't help but silently exclaim how dangerous it was

No, perhaps it is more than that

However, this time when his body was enveloped by the sea water, Figo immediately felt a difference. A sense of ease, almost instinctual, surged within him, and as he gently moved his arms, the resistance of the sea water seemed to vanish

Uh, if I were to bring a weapon...

His water skills are excellent

It is not jealousy, but rather a sense of disapproval: "This pretentious fellow is merely vying for the position of deputy warden... truly hypocritical"

How could it possibly evade detection

The prison guards observe with their eyes focused on the nose and their nose attuned to the heart

He unbuttoned his uniform, took off the jacket, and hung it on the doorknob of the baptismal room, revealing the shirt underneath and accentuating his well-defined muscles

Figo does not care about him either, in a world where might is respected, who would engage in a rat race with your sarcastic banter? He dressed himself in a cool manner and stepped onto the edge of the boat.

If the speed of the fishman that just attacked him were to double...

Not good! Run away quickly
