Chapter 147 The Trip to Fishman Island
Chapter 147 The Trip to Fishman Island
Hearing Profik say that he had killed the Dragon Guards and the slave ship, Tiger was stunned. When had there been such a brave guy in this world? You know, even when he was not reduced to a slave, he always stayed away from these guys when he met them.
Seeing Tiger's surprise, Profic explained: "Those guys intend to do harm to the 'Ocean's Shichibukai', so they will naturally be punished."
"Down to the Shichibukai?" Tiger was confused. Obviously, Marie Joa's Celestial Dragons didn't care at all about such trivial matters as establishing the King's Shichibukai. Even Tiger, who was a slave of the Celestial Dragons, had no idea about the establishment of the King's Shichibukai.
"To put it simply, he is a big pirate recognized by the World Government. It seems that there are seven people to be recruited in total, but I am the first one, and currently the only one." Profic explained the meaning of the Shichibukai in a concise manner. "The Shichibukai has special privileges, such as slave ships and escorts. Just kill them and don't worry about them."
To be able to be won over by the World Government on such terms, the seemingly frail young human in front of him must have tremendous power.
Now Tiger was relieved. It seemed that his identity would not cause any trouble to his benefactor: "My name is Fisher Tiger, and I am an adventurer."
"My name is Profik, and I am a pirate." Profik introduced himself and offered to send Tiger to Fish-Man Island. "Twenty days later, I will go to Marijoa to officially participate in the appointment of the Shichibukai. I plan to go to the New World after the meeting, so I happen to be coating the ship so I can take you to Fish-Man Island tomorrow."
"Then I can't thank you enough!" Tiger, who had escaped from Mary Joa, was indeed homesick. "When you get to Fish-Man Island, I will definitely give you the highest courtesy!"
Profik introduced Tiger to his companions. Everyone was very interested in creatures like fish-men, and they gathered around Tiger and asked questions. Although he was curious but not malicious, Tiger was not disgusted.
Among them, Gao Shifu is concerned about the legendary mermaid lady, Fuentes is deeply interested in the pastries and delicacies of Fishman Island, Matifa is concerned about the scenery of Fishman Island, and Star is curious about the depth of 10,000 meters under the sea. What the fish look like. Morana was sitting alone, seemingly uninterested in any of this. But in fact this was her first contact with other non-human races, and she had many questions in her mind.
Although Tiger himself was a "gangster leader" from Fishman Street, he did not receive much education. But he has been traveling in this world for many years, has seen a lot, and has a deep understanding of Fish-Man Island, so he can speak clearly.
During this time, Tiger, Profik and others became more familiar with each other, and everyone also learned about his former slave status and expressed sympathy. Profic also told Tiger their story and expressed his interest in Fish-Man Island and Ryugu Kingdom, hoping to cooperate with Fish-Man Island during his tenure as the Shichibukai.
Overall, it can be said that we had a great time talking.
After the coating was completed, and after resting for two days, the Beaver dived all the way from the sea near Shampoo. Soon the seawater submerged the entire coating, and the Beaver traveled underwater like a submarine.
The scenery under the water is completely different from that on the sea. It is surrounded by water in all directions. Fish swim around the Bifur. The sun shines on the boat through the sea water and bubbles, making it colorful and beautiful. Everyone seemed to be in a huge aquarium, staring intently at the scenery outside the ship, and making sounds of admiration from time to time.
Only Tiger, who was born on Fishman Island, is very clear about the underwater situation: "When you first enter the sea, it is indeed beautiful, but after a while, when you enter the deep sea, the sun cannot shine, and it will become dark and cold."
As if to verify Tiger's statement, the brilliance of the sun gradually faded away from everyone. The surrounding seawater turned from translucent light blue to dark dark blue, and the visibility quickly decreased. Even the fish surrounding the Bifur There are fewer and fewer children.
"Brother," Matifa shuddered, "it's a bit cold."
So everyone except Fisher Tiger put on thick cotton clothes.
Seeing Profik's curious and concerned eyes, Tiger took the initiative to explain: "We, the fish-men, can live in the deep sea. This little bit of coldness is nothing."
Further down, into the deep sea, it was almost pitch black. From time to time, huge cephalopods and sea kings swam by, looking at the Bifur with curious eyes. On several occasions, huge tentacles and fish tails streaked through the water near the Bifur, causing the entire ship to tilt.
Everyone also became nervous, ready to take action at any time. In such a deep sea, it would be terrible to be attacked by a giant sea king. Maybe Tiger, who is a fishman, can still escape death, but as a human being, he will probably die.
The journey to Fishman Island is already extremely thrilling, and the coating technology itself is not very reliable, which adds a lot of risks. Rayleigh, who was in charge of coating, once said, "Seventy percent of the ships sailing to Fish-Man Island will sink before arriving, so be careful." Roger, the Pirate King, once said, "Don't relax when heading to Fish-Man Island. No matter how many times you go there, the chance of death is the same!"
The naval hero Garp nearly encountered a shipwreck when he sneaked into the Fish-Man Island to meet Neptune and his party. Garp said in his own words, "I thought I would die at the bottom of the sea!" The "world noble" Celestial Dragon Musgar, who possesses supreme power and status, Lu Desheng was in danger on the way to Fish-Man Island, and he was in a desperate situation and only escaped with his own life.
"Mr. Tiger, do we need to turn off the lights?" Star asked tremblingly, pointing at the giant sea king that swam past the Beaver.
"It's okay, don't worry." Tiger was not nervous at all. For the fishman, the deep sea is like his own back garden. "Predators in the deep sea do not rely on sight to hunt. A little light will not affect anything." ."
After narrowly escaping several giant sea kings again, the Bifur entered the small hole under the red earth continent. Tiger pointed to a huge, dark and deep trench in front of him and said, "After passing the trench in front, we will reach Fish-Man Island!"
The tall snapper man's voice was excited, and his body even trembled a little. After traveling for a long time and being a slave for three years, Tiger has not returned to Fish-Man Island for a long time. Now, with his hometown right in front of him, Tiger is filled with excitement, but at the same time, he also has complex emotions of being shy about his hometown.
After the Bifur entered the trench, it suddenly became clear.
Everyone's eyes suddenly brightened up, and they were clearly thousands of meters under the deep sea, but full of sunlight.
The most eye-catching thing is a small island suspended in the sea under the sea, and the huge and dense tree roots next to it. Fish-Man Island is surrounded by a double-layered round bubble wrap shield with an air layer in between.
Although I don't understand the specific principle, in practice, this structure can not only block water pressure, but also form a military defense system.
If those ships coated in the Chambord Islands do not follow the correct path into the port but try to force their way in, the coating will automatically fall off and merge with the island's protective shield.
Some ships fall directly to the ground when passing through the middle air layer. Even if they successfully break through the protective shield, the intruder will be washed away by the seawater inside the passport.
This kind of technology can be said to be very superb. I don’t know who created it. If you can learn it...
"Wow~!" Matifa exclaimed, attracted by the beautiful scenery in front of her.
Fishman Island, here we come!
