A Sharp Review of Joy Boy! Fisher Tiger and Jinbe

Thus, the Roger Pirates and the Calamity Company began their contact on this open space in the deep sea.

The not-so-large submarine was now quietly anchored in the coral jungle. Roa's subordinates also came out of the cabin and silently confronted the members of Roger Pirates.

"So young."

Gaban tilted his head slightly and whispered in Rayleigh's ear.

Rayleigh nodded silently.

Apart from Bloody Hand Dylan, the oldest among them is only in their twenties, and the real pillars of the organization are even teenagers.

Although they are still a long way from the Roger Pirates, none of them can deny that, given time, this group will surely become the overlords of the next era!

Rayleigh couldn't help but feel a little emotional; the current and future rulers had met here.

Meanwhile, the executives at the Calamity Company were also sizing up the members of Roger Pirates.

Is this the World's Strongest pirate crew?

Moria looked at each of those people who were already world-famous.

Before meeting Roa, Moria thought the Roger Pirates were nothing special, but now that he truly understands this world, he realizes that these people are real super monsters.

"I never imagined I'd have this kind of contact with the Roger Pirates."

Doflamingo lowered his voice.

A year ago, Roa fought a fierce battle with the Roger Pirates alongside Golden Lion.

Roa is a complete madman.

"There are two brats over there too."

Bege immediately noticed the two boys, one in red and one in blue, in Roger Pirates.

Noticing his gaze, the blue-haired kid immediately made a face at them, while the Shanks boy smiled kindly at them.

"Fufufufu, just two insignificant brats,"

Doflamingo scoffed, "If it weren't for Roger's good fortune in finding them, I wouldn't have bothered to even glance at them."

Bege glanced at him sideways.

You don't even like someone Roger admires?

Without Roa, would you dare utter another word now?

You've really caused a mess by using someone else's power.

While his subordinates remained silent, Roa and Roger huddled together and whispered amongst themselves.

Roa's handsome face was serious as he listened to Roger's explanation, nodding earnestly from time to time and occasionally chiming in agreement.

"I see." "Oh, I see." "Now I completely understand!"

The emotional value provided is substantial.

It should be said that Roger was quite skilled. Roa quickly gained a deeper understanding of the techniques of these superior individuals, such as Conqueror's Haki Entanglement, Observation Haki Future Sight, and Observation Haki Killer.

That's the difference, Big Brother Kaido. You should reflect on your actions.

Not only do you not understand Observation Haki's Future Sight and its Observation Haki Killer, but your explanation of Conqueror's Haki's Entanglement techniques isn't as insightful and easy to understand Roger's.

How can someone with this level of professional competence call themselves a top-tier instructor?

However, although Roger explained it very well, and Roa also thought he understood it very well, these techniques were not yet of any use.

To be enveloped in Conqueror's Haki requires extremely strong control over that Haki, something Roa hasn't yet achieved.

The "Observation Haki Killer" technique is essentially a special application of Conqueror's Haki, and it also requires control.

Observation Haki, which allows one to Future Sight, requires a higher level of Observation Haki. Although Roa's Observation Haki is not weak, it is not yet strong enough to Future Sight.

After all, Haki cannot be strengthened by absorbing dark energy; it requires Roa to hone his skills through hard work and perseverance.

Having the skills to slay dragons but lacking the ability is...

Roa couldn't help but sigh, "I'm still too weak."

Roger found it somewhat amusing.

This kid is ridiculously strong.

Although there is still a considerable gap between his Three Types of Haki and those of truly top-tier fighters, even so, this kid's strength is already very close to that of Rayleigh and Gaban.

"Alright, lesson over."

Roa clapped his hands, having had a very enjoyable and rewarding class. He looked at the cool stone in front of him and asked, "Shouldn't we finish interpreting this as well?"

Just then, Olvia, heavily pregnant, turned around in front of the stone, and the woman nodded gently.

Roa's eye twitched almost imperceptibly.

Roger, you're really something.

Roa was stunned when he saw the pregnant Olvia.

When he curiously asked whose child it was, and heard Roger proudly say that it was his child, Roa felt even more deeply saddened.

Roger, you dog, can't you learn from Luffy and not eat the grass near your burrow?

Robin, my Robin!

"So, what exactly is recorded on the stone?"

Neptune spoke somewhat impatiently.

Although the atmosphere was somewhat delicate, with the Roger Pirates and the crew led by Calamity Roa seemingly locked in a standoff, Neptune simply couldn't suppress his curiosity.

Neptune was very curious to know what was recorded on these two stones left by his ancestors in the Sea Forest.

Olvia looked at Roger, and Roger nodded at her.

So, the white-haired woman took a deep breath.

"The red signposts indicate the name of an island. It is said that if you find all four signposts and know the locations of the four islands, you can find the Laugh Tale."

"The island's name is Bristol, in the East Blue," Olvia said.

What about the second stone?

Gaban asked impatiently.

"The second stone--"

Olvia paused for a moment, then said, "It's an apology letter Joy Boy wrote to the Little Mermaid from eight hundred years ago."

"Apology letter?"

Gaban was taken aback.

"The Little Mermaid?"

Neptune stared.

"Joy Boy?"

Abel exclaimed in surprise, "This is a letter left by Joy Boy?"

"Joy Boy?"

Doflamingo was bewildered, not understanding what Abel was so excited about. "Who is that?"

"Joy Boy is a figure who existed in the Void Century eight hundred years ago!"

Olvia slowly began, "All I know about him is that he was probably the world's first pirate!"

"What?"

Neptune was suddenly startled. "The world's first pirate? How could someone like that be connected to a mermaid princess from eight hundred years ago?"

He's not just a pirate!

At this moment, Abel glanced at Roa, and after receiving Roa's nod, he also spoke up, "He is also the person our Lunarian has been waiting for!"

"It is said that when he returns to this world, the world will undergo a transformation!"

What does it mean to "return to this world"?

Buggy exclaimed, "Could he be coming back to life?"

"It wasn't mentioned on the stone,"

Olvia simply shook her head regretfully. "In this letter, Joy Boy apologized to the mermaid princess, saying that the agreement to move Fish-Man Island to the surface of the sea had to be voided because the outcome of the failure was irreversible, and all that could be done was to entrust everything to the future."

"Hahaha! I'm getting more and more curious!"

Roger laughed heartily, "What exactly happened during that Void Century! And what kind of person was Joy Boy?

He looked at Neptune, "The Little Mermaid!"

Then he looked at Abel, "The Lunarian!"

"And there are giants too!"

Roger's lips curled into a smile. "The man who connected all these tribes—what exactly did he do? And who was he fighting?"

"Who else could it be?"

Roa simply said with little interest, "He's just a loser."

Moreover, he is another loser who squandered a winning hand.

Ancient Weapon, allies from various races, and the formidable personal strength that left Imu with an eight-hundred-year-old psychological trauma—to still lose like this, isn't that humiliating enough?

Presumably, it's another case of version T0 achieving success.

"Wow, you little rascal!"

Roger's smile visibly stiffened at Roa's words, and he glared at Roa, annoyed. "What a spoilsport!"

"Never mind."

Roger's eyes turned serious. "I'm here to start my world tour again, so I want to go back to where I started. What are you doing here, kid?"

Neptune was his friend, Fish-Man Island was the country where his friend lived.

If Roa tries to cause trouble here, he won't allow it.

"Oh, right, I almost forgot about the important matter!"

Roa looked as if he had just woken up from a dream.

He looked at Neptune. "I'm here to hire."

Hiring?

Neptune paused for a moment. "You mean, you hope to recruit a group of Fish-Man warriors from Fish-Man Island to join your pirate crew?"

"Pirate crew?"

Roa smiled. "I stopped being a pirate many years ago."

Both Roger and Neptune wore expressions of utter bewilderment upon hearing Roa's words.

A monster with a 2 billion bounty claims he quit being a pirate a long time ago?

"I own a logistics company, but sailing on the sea by boat is always a bit unsafe,"

Roa replied honestly, "Aren't there many fixed ocean currents on the seabed? They are interconnected and link different parts of the sea."

"If it's Fish-Man Race that can tame sea beasts, I think they could make good use of these underwater routes."

"Oh! You really have a brilliant idea! It sounds quite interesting!"

Roger couldn't help but ask in surprise, "So, Neptune, is it feasible?"

"Forehead..."

Neptune was also somewhat bewildered. "We really hadn't thought of this at all."

"But if we're using ocean currents, then there shouldn't be any problem, right?"

His eyes gradually brightened. "Although the deep sea in other areas is different from Fish-Man Island —it's pitch black and bone-chillingly cold—these problems are not difficult to overcome. As long as we add bubbles and lights, these problems will no longer be a problem!"

"With the assistance of sea creatures, deep-sea navigation and transportation seem to be a very easy task!"

Right?

Roa smiled meaningfully, "And, could this be an opportunity for Fish-Man Island to integrate into the human world?"

This time, they really didn't have any bad intentions towards Fish-Man Island.

There are only five million people in total, so a little bit of black energy won't make a difference.

Of course, it also has something to do with the importance of Fish-Man Island.

Ultimately, who is it that, in this world dominated by the ocean, is so blatantly discriminating against Fish-Man?

Is that Imu? Just how petty is that guy?!

On the high seas, Fish-Man and mermaids can play a greater role than giants.

They can even tame sea monsters, not to mention the future Sea King.

"Integration?"

Neptune was somewhat surprised. "Fish-Man Island has no need to integrate into the human world," he said with a self-deprecating tone. "The human world doesn't welcome us."

Oh, Otohime hasn't gotten married yet, so his mindset hasn't changed.

Neptune's attitude basically reflects the views of most of the Fish-Man Island residents.

They harbored hostility towards the human world, yet also yearned for it.

It should be said that Otohime was the outlier.

That's why you should cooperate with me even more.

Roa laughed and said, "Under my banner, who dares to discriminate against you? Who dares to harm you?"

Neptune was suddenly taken aback.

Neptune glanced at Roa with some suspicion, then said politely, "Mr. Roa, I appreciate your kindness, but Fish-Man Island doesn't need outsiders' protection."

Indeed, before the Great Pirate Era began, although the number of pirates was still astonishing, it was far from reaching an explosive level.

Not many pirates will be able to come to Fish-Man Island.

Fish-Man Island did not have the serious security problems that would later become a reality.

Damn it, Neptune! He actually didn't give me any face!

If it weren't for the fact that you're destined to have a child who's a sea king, you'd already be courting death!

"But,"

Neptune added, "We can discuss cooperation."

Opening up an underwater shipping route is also a good thing for Fish-Man Island!

Moreover, this would make Fish-Man Island a major distribution center for goods, which would greatly promote the economic development of the entire island.

Furthermore, he liked Mr. Roa's attitude towards Fish-Man Island.

I forgive you.

Roa nodded with a smile, "That's good. It's a win-win situation for us, since we won't be stingy with the compensation."

With this as an opportunity, once Roger ushered in the Great Pirate Era, wouldn't Fish-Man Island be within their grasp?

"Wait! Neptune, are you really going to make such a hasty decision to cooperate with humans?"

A cold voice came from deep within the coral.

"Oh! I've finally had enough."

Roger chuckled and said, "I thought he'd stay hidden forever!"

Roa also turned around.

A group of Fish-Man emerged rustling out of the coral jungle.

The leader was a strong, red-skinned Fish-Man.

Behind him, Roa also saw a chubby, blue-skinned merman Fish-Man.

Oh!

It's someone I know.

"Fisher Tiger, why are you here?"

Neptune certainly knew Fisher Tiger, the leader of Fish-Man District, surrounded by a group of Fish-Man orphans.

"If I weren't here, wouldn't I have missed this scene?"

Fisher Tiger stared intently at Roa, "Calamity Roa, even we on Fish-Man Island know your name well!"

That Morgans' business is indeed very large.

Roa thought.

What exactly do you want to do?

Fisher Tiger questioned, "I don't believe someone like you would be so kind as to help Fish-Man Island!"

That's a very sharp attitude.

Roa said somewhat helplessly, "I already said it's business, what kind of kind help is this? Besides..."

He said in a condescending tone, "Young man, aren't you being a bit too arrogant?"

Roger almost burst out laughing.

"If you really want to do something about Fish-Man Island,"

Roa's eyes widened. "Why go through all that trouble?"

Boom!

The coral reef suddenly began to tremble.

The ground is cracking, and the coral is breaking.

The Fish-Man who had come charging in with such ferocity trembled and staggered backward.

Fisher Tiger was instantly covered in sweat.

Some monsters, just by the slightest sliver of their fangs, are known to be absolutely invincible enemies!

Behind him, Jinbe was also trembling.

How could it be so powerful?

"Alright, Roa, why bother arguing with ordinary people?"

Roger said with a hint of helplessness, "Be careful not to pop the bubbles, or we'll be doomed."

Is it all over?

I'm not finished!

By manipulating the water flow to leave enough space to move around, and then creating a continuous supply of air by generating wind, the deep sea is no different from the surface sea.

But.

Roa toned down his imposing manner. "Do you understand now? The fact that we're willing to talk to you honestly is already a huge favor to you."

Roger is here too, so it's okay if things don't get too out of hand!

"Indeed,"

Roger nodded and said, "If this were in the deep sea, this kid would be stronger than me."

"Fisher Tiger, stop fooling around!"

Neptune was also sweating profusely. He didn't know what would happen if he really angered Roa. "If you'd heard our conversation, you should know this cooperation is good, right? You should know very well the economic situation on Fish-Man Island; so many people are idle. Getting a job is never a bad thing."

"..."

Fisher Tiger looked at Roa, then at Roger, then at Neptune, and finally back at Roa. His voice was a little hoarse, "But how can we guarantee the safety of our compatriots? I don't trust pirates!"

"If you're so worried,"

Roa seemed a little impatient and said, "I see you're quite influential on Fish-Man Island, so why don't you take charge yourself?"

Neptune's eyes lit up immediately. "Great idea!"

To be honest, Fish-Man District has always been a thorn in the side of Fish-Man Island. There are too many orphans who grew up there now, and they are all idle, spending their days wandering around the seabed with their friends.

Anyone who has governed a country knows that these idle young people are the breeding ground for chaos.

Fisher Tiger was also suddenly taken aback.

"We'll provide the capital, and you provide the personnel; let's form a joint venture."

Roa said decisively, "You, Fisher Tiger, right? You'll be in charge of personnel management. How about it, young man? Do you yearn for the blue sky? Do you yearn for the white clouds? If you Fish-Man went to the surface on your own, you'd probably be captured by slave traders in no time. But with my banner, it's different!"

Fisher Tiger's eyes widened suddenly at that moment.

He was instantly smitten.

Nobody knew that Fisher Tiger, the boss of Fish-Man District and a gangster, actually had a dream of traveling around the world!

Roa's suggestion really hit the nail on the head; it would not only protect his compatriots but also allow him to fulfill his dream!

"Fisher Tiger, I feel very reassured if it's you."

Neptune also offered encouragement.

Fisher Tiger paused again, turned around, and looked at his underlings.

Their eyes were filled with excitement.

Do you want to go to the sea?

Jinbe immediately replied, "If Brother Tai wants to go, we'll go with you!"

"That's right!"

The Fish-Man chimed in agreement.

They knew their boss too well; they knew he was already interested.

Therefore, even though they disliked humans, they didn't want to make things difficult for their elder brother.

Fisher Tiger took a deep breath.

He looked at Roa again, "In that case, I can give it a try!"

Roa raised the corners of his mouth. That's why he said, "You're still young, too naive. No wonder you were captured and enslaved in the original work."

"Great! This is a win-win-win situation!"

The construction of the underwater logistics system was successfully completed.

Fish-Man Island has also been brought within firing range.

Add to that the unexpected joy of Fisher Tiger and Jinbe.

I won three times!

That's about 10,000 words in total. Requesting monthly votes for the new month!
