Fisher Tiger: Now That You Mention It, I'm Not Sleepy Anymore!

As the Supreme Leader of the 100,000 Fish-Man in Fish-Man District, Fisher Tiger can be said to be a very influential figure throughout the entire Fish-Man Island.

However, from the outside, the house he lived in was not much different from the other ordinary houses in Fish-Man District, except that it was a bit more spacious and taller.

This is not because Fisher Tiger wanted to distinguish himself from others or appear superior.

It's because he himself is a muscular and strong man. That's right, Fisher Tiger is also over five meters tall.

As soon as Hachi led Ortolan and the others into the courtyard, Fisher Tiger seemed to have noticed the commotion outside and opened the door himself, coming out from inside.

This guy was tall and had dark red skin. He wore a headscarf, but it couldn't hide his thick, curly hair. He looked like a man in his forties with a full beard and muscular build. On his exposed chest was a red sun tattoo.

At first glance, he gives off a very masculine vibe.

"Hachi." Fisher Tiger greeted Hachi first.

Hachi quickly introduced, "Boss Sea Bream, this is my good friend Rayleigh, who lives on the sea, and his friends!"

"Thank you for leading the way. Kuroobi said he was looking for you and is waiting for you in your yard. You can go ahead and do your work." Fisher Tiger replied with a smile.

Upon hearing that his friend was looking for him, Hachi quickly greeted Rayleigh and then left.

At the same time, Fisher Tiger also put away his smile and said with a serious expression, "I didn't expect to see the three of you important figures traveling together in the same place. This is really beyond my expectations. Please come in."

Clearly, unlike the average person on Fish-Man Island, Fisher Tiger recognized both Ortolan and Dragon.

He initially thought only Pluton Silvers Rayleigh would come, but he really didn't expect that pirates, Revolutionary Army, and Marines would all be mixed together. How come they didn't fight?

"I apologize for disturbing you..." Ortolan nodded with a smile, and then entered Fisher Tiger's house with Dragon and the others.

His home wasn't particularly simple; on the contrary, you could see many things on the sea that weren't common on Fish-Man Island. Perhaps it was related to his past as an adventurer?

After inviting everyone to sit down, Fisher Tiger placed two barrels of liquor on the table and casually set out glasses for everyone, saying, "Sorry, I don't have much tea to serve guests. If you don't mind, please have some wine..."

Looking at the drinks on the table, Ortolan thought to himself, "No wonder he's the boss of the Fish-Man District underworld, his style is so wild."

It was clear that Fisher Tiger wasn't a man who liked beating around the bush; he was rather straightforward. So, without any formalities, after pouring drinks for everyone, he plopped down on the sofa and asked bluntly, "So, what brings you all here to discuss with me?"

Rayleigh and Dragon exchanged a glance, then turned their attention to Ortolan.

Ortolan was holding a wine glass, ready to savor the local flavors of Fish-Man Island, when he saw these two looking over. He was a little confused, frowned, and said, "Shall I speak?"

Fisher Tiger realized from the actions of Dragon and Rayleigh that the famous Bull was probably the leader of this trio.

Seeing that Rayleigh and Dragon remained silent, Ortolan was somewhat helpless. After taking a sip of wine, he looked at Fisher Tiger and said, "The main reason for my unauthorized visit is that I need your help with a matter."

Fisher Tiger paused for a moment, then said, "I'm sorry, but I don't plan to leave Fish-Man Island anytime soon..."

Although Fisher Tiger felt that Rayleigh was a trustworthy person, especially since Rayleigh and his crew had a good relationship with Fish-Man Island in the past, even though they didn't have much interaction, King Neptune often talked about it, which gave Fisher Tiger a natural liking for Rayleigh.

However, he did not trust the Marines. He was very wary of high-ranking Marines figures like Ortolan, let alone trust him!

As for the Revolutionary Army, Fisher Tiger actually had a rather favorable impression of them. Although he had never actually come into contact with the Revolutionary Army, he had learned about their ideology and found Fisher Tiger quite appealing and compatible with his own.

In the original story, Fisher Tiger founded the Sun Pirates, and the pirate crew's motto was liberation and freedom!

This could be said to coincide with the Revolutionary Army's interests. In reality, however, what he did had nothing to do with the concept of pirates. Ortolan felt that what he did was simply a matter of being with the Revolutionary Army.

Hearing Fisher Tiger's words, Ortolan thought to himself, "Does Fisher Tiger not seem to have any intention of making a move against Mary Geoise?"

But when he saw Fisher Tiger's determined gaze, Ortolan suddenly realized something was wrong. Fisher Tiger had clearly made up his mind to do something, but... he felt the timing wasn't right.

Upon further reflection, in the original story, Fisher Tiger did this in the year 1506 of the Marine Era, and the subsequent handling of this matter by the World Government can be described as very 'magnanimous'. In fact, in such a major event as the burning of Mary Geoise, they only punished the ringleader. After confirming that Fisher Tiger was dead, they did not punish Fisher Tiger's accomplices or Fish-Man Island.

People like Arlong were simply arrested and locked up in Impel Down; they weren't actually killed!

This is completely contrary to the style of the righteous government of the world. Let alone burning Mary Geoise, even the slightest act of disobeying Mary Geoise often results in the execution of nine generations of relatives.

Why are they being so polite to Fisher Tiger this time?

Later, they even brought out Fisher Tiger's underling, Jinbe, who inherited the Sun Pirates as the second leader, and made him one of the Shichibukai. No matter how you look at it, there seems to be something wrong with that.

Now, considering this point in time, Ortolan has realized that the reason Fisher Tiger waited until 1506 to take action against Mary Geoise was not because he chose an auspicious day or anything like that.

Instead, he was waiting, waiting for Fish-Man Island to have enough power to protect itself so as not to incur the wrath of the World Government, even after he burned Mary Geoise!

This power, without a doubt, belongs to Poseidon!

While pondering these thoughts, Ortolan outwardly remained calm and said, "Don't be so quick to refuse. Perhaps you'll find our plan quite interesting..."

"I have something on my mind, and I'm not interested in anything until I finish it," Fisher Tiger said, shaking his head firmly.

After a slight pause, Fisher Tiger, seemingly a little embarrassed, picked up his glass and said, "I'm sorry to have troubled you all. I originally thought you had some business on Fish-Man Island that you needed me to make the connections or something..."

Ortolan ignored his words and continued speaking to himself, "Actually, we plan to burn the Holy Land of Mary Geoise down and liberate the slaves of all races enslaved there..."

Fisher Tiger, who was about to tell the guest to leave, froze on the sofa after hearing this.

If you're going to talk about that, then I'm not sleepy anymore!

Then, Fisher Tiger seemed to perk up, put his wine glass on the table, placed his hands on the table like a bridge, and rested his chin on his hand, striking a classic 'commander' pose.

"Oh? Burn Mary Geoise to free the slaves?" Fisher Tiger asked in a deep voice.

"That's right, for certain purposes... well, I won't explain further. I, this member of the Revolutionary Army, and Pluton Hades all have our own demands in this plan. In short, we've come together because of these demands. Although it seems a bit incongruous, we've prepared a comprehensive and well-thought-out plan. And in this plan, there's only one difficulty that needs to be resolved: we lack the cooperation of the Fish-Man Race ..." Ortolan said softly with a faint smile on his lips.

"I would like to hear more details..." Fisher Tiger responded immediately.

Rayleigh and Dragon were both puzzled. Why did the leader of Fish-Man District suddenly change his attitude so drastically when he heard about burning Mary Geoise?

Just a moment ago they were acting like they were about to see the guests off, but now they seem eager to get involved.

When a normal person hears about something like this, shouldn't they react like Dragon did before?

The fact that he didn't stand up and point his finger at Ortolan and give him a good scolding shows how well-mannered he is!

Ortolan patted Dragon on the shoulder and said, "Come on, Dorrag, tell our boss Fisher Tiger a detailed explanation of our plan and see if Fisher Tiger can lend a hand!"

Upon hearing this form of address, Dragon's lips twitched, but knowing this wasn't the time to argue with that bastard Ortolan, he cleared his throat slightly and said, "Mr. Fisher Tiger, our plan is this..."
