One day John Phoenix was out at sea with his friend Peter Murray but they were not on a ferry boat, they were on a fishing boat because John Phoenix decided to go fishing after he learned how to fish when he caught the Salmon of Knowledge.
"Righty-o Johnny take yer pole and cast it over there into the sea I know there're fish there because I am smart," said Pete who ate the Salmon of Knowledge.
"Thanks Pete but don't give me hints like that it's cheating," said John Phoenix.
"Da-ha-ha-ha, if ya say so, Johnny," said Pete. "Just remember boyo. A lotta fish here are endangered, so ya gotta let them go if you catch them."
John Phoenix yawned. Then he threw the line out in a different direction. He saw a tiny shadow slowly swim up to it. It was moving. Like a fish.
Then the fish nibbled the bait and John Phoenix started tugging! He tugged and he tugged but the fish resisted. But it was futile to resist John Phoenix!
John Phoenix heaved the fish out of the sea! But that's when he found out it wasn't a fish at all!"
"That lively little bugger was a tire!" said Pete!
John Phoenix was mad, not just because this was a waste of time but because some lout was out there polluting the sea with this trash! He shoved the tire into the court record and tried again.
This time, a real fish floated towards the hook. Suddenly, the hook sunk for a second so John Phoenix reeled it in, this time facing no resistance!
He finally caught a fish!
"HALT!" shouted the police and they surrounded the boat. "YOU'RE UNDER ARREST FOR MURDERING THAT ENDANGERED FISH!"
"WHAT NO I'M NOT!" shouted John Phoenix, but yes he was. So he had to defend himself in court.
"Let the trial commence," said the judge.
The prosecutor was Yagami again (he was back for revenge) and he made his opening statement.
"John Phoenix killed a fish. We know it was him because an innocent passerby recorded him."
Yagami showed footage of John Phoenix catching the fish.
"He caught the fish and then it died."
"OBJECTION!" shouted John Phoenix. "The fish didn't resist me catching it at all! Do you know why? It clearly means it was ALREADY DEAD!"
"WHAT!" shouted Yagami. "But who else could've done it? There was noone else at the scene!"
"That's what YOU think!" said John Phoenix. "But there is evidence someone else was there, and that is the TIRE!"
"What does this tire prove John Phoenix?" said the judge.
"This tire was thrown into the sea by some evil person who meant to pollute the sea. If they're okay with polluting the sea, then clearly they're okay with killing fish, too!"
"OHOHOHOOOOO!" the judge was shocked at the reveal of this evil third party!
So John Phoenix analyzed the tire's tireprints and found out they belong to the CEO of Fishing Corporation Limited.
And the CEO was Sota Kume!
"Kume, you killed the fish! As the CEO of a big fishing company you had your boys catch tons of fish in giant nets! However, this resulted in many fish species becoming endangered, so you had to point the blame away from yourself and decided to blame it on small time fishermen like me! That's why you threw one of the fish you caught into the sea right where my hook was to make it look like it was actually ME who killed the fish!"
"GAH!" shouted Sota Kume. "You will pay for this!"
And then Kume charged at John Phoenix with his little fist raised but John Phoenix slapped him and he was defeated.
John Phoenix was pronounced not guilty and that's the end!
