Chapter 81

This journey to Fish-Man Island will begin with an unprecedented shallow -Seawater voyage, starting from Water 7!

A short while later, the entire Nether Abyss submerged completely into the sea, and the area within sight was filled with azure Seawater.

"I never imagined that the underwater structure of Water 7 was like this."

Adrian watched Water 7 slowly rose before him, a look of surprise flashing across his eyes.

Not long after, the underwater scenery of Water 7 disappeared from sight.

However, although Water 7 disappeared, Adrian's attention was drawn to an even more magnificent scene.

Since the current diving position is not too deep, the sunlight can still shine through the water and illuminate the surrounding Sea Area. At this moment, the Nether Abyss is surrounded by sparkling light, and all kinds of strange and wonderful fish are swimming around the hull.

Such a scene is extremely rare for Devil Fruit User!

Louf was also running around on the deck of the Nether Abyss, constantly letting out surprised and joyful cheers. It was clear that the little fox was also deeply fascinated by the beautiful shallow sea scene before her.

Just then, Lumi was at the helm controlling the ship's direction, suddenly asked, "Adrian, should we head to Fish-Man Island immediately?"

"Is there a problem, Lumi?"

"Water 7 actually quite far from the Sabaody Archipelago," Lumi said. "If we dive directly into the deep sea now and then use the deep-sea currents to reach Fish-Man Island, although we can shorten the journey time, we will still have to endure a considerable period of darkness."

"Adrian- sama..."

Louf immediately looked nervously at Adrian. Perhaps influenced by her experience on the Sabaody Archipelago, the little fox girl was particularly afraid of dark environments.

"To reach Fish-Man Island, the darkness of the deep sea is unavoidable. However, we don't need to dive into the deep sea immediately. Lumi, let's stay in the shallow waters! This will enhance the stealth of the Nether Abyss."

"Adrian- sama is so wonderful!"

Louf jumped up with joy.

Adrian smiled and reached out to ruffle Louf's fluffy head, finding it surprisingly comforting, like petting a large dog.

Huh?

Foxes are also canines, so this statement seems reasonable?

Compared to the monotonous and boring journey on the open sea, sailing in Seawater adds a touch of lively interest, since such a rich variety of marine life cannot be seen on the surface.

After several days of sailing.

The Nether Abyss arrived near the Sabaody Archipelago for the first time.

This time, Adrian did not land on the island, but instead directly commanded Lumi to continue the descent of the Nether Abyss.

Not long after, the beautiful shallow sea scenery around them disappeared completely, and the light became extremely weak. Louf quickly hid in the castle inside Lumi's body.

Meanwhile, the Nether Abyss continued its descent, following the deep-sea currents.

As the light grew even fainter, the number and size of the sea creatures around them increased, including many unique Sea Kings with strange and unusual appearances, most of which were large Sea Kings that were extremely rare to see on the surface of the ocean.

Several hours later, Adrian faintly saw a dark red light emanating from the deep sea in the distance, and the surrounding Sea Area began to boil.

"Oh dear! Adrian, we're almost at the bottom of the sea. Ahead lies the underwater volcanic region, and we'll reach Fish-Man Island soon."

Adrian praised Lumi a few times, which made the Ship Spirit very happy.

Ten minutes later, the surrounding deep-sea area suddenly brightened, as if a huge light source had appeared out of nowhere in the deep sea.

Then, Adrian's Observation Haki "appeared" with a Fish-Man Island surrounded by two giant bubbles!

Fish-Man Island is spherical in shape, with a huge double-layered bubble membrane surrounding the entire island, and an air layer separating the two bubble shields.

If those ships Coating on the Sabaody Archipelago were to stray into Fish-Man Island via the wrong path, they would likely fall through the air layer of this space to the ground and be smashed to pieces.

Just then, Adrian gestured, "Lumi, call Louf out and tell her we've arrived at Fish-Man Island!"

[Chapter 154 First Impressions of Fish-Man Island]

At Sea Area entrance to Fish-Man Island, a massive three-masted sailing ship slowly approaches, carried by deep ocean currents.

The ship has a light blue hull and a streamlined design. The figurehead is a solemn black Soul Reapers wearing a hood and holding a scepter. The ship is painted with the exquisite words "Nether Abyss" in dark red paint.

The only slightly surprising thing is that this exquisitely designed and imposing sailboat did not fly any black skull and crossbones flags on its mast.

Without any checks or obstruction, the Nether Abyss docked smoothly in the harbor at the Fish-Man Island entrance.

Lumi's small head, wearing a pointed hat, peeked out from between the rudder's teeth.

Not far from it, the Little Fox Louf rested her hands on the ship's railing, taking in the dreamlike Fish-Man Island environment around her, her fluffy white tail sweeping back and forth in sync with her owner's mood.

Lumi looked up at the deck. "Adrian, should I bring the Nether Abyss into the castle?"

The lack of protection for the boat is one of the unavoidable inconveniences for those who take the solo route.

If it's a large-scale Pirates crew, they can at least reserve some manpower to guard the ship when they disembark and land on the island.

However, such a simple task is beyond the capabilities of a lone wolf.

This is why most lone wolves choose to travel the world in small single-person boats; after all, they are easy to manufacture, and even if they are damaged, it doesn't hurt.

Adrian shook his head and said, "No need, let's just get off the ship."

Mimic Ghost: Imitation Game.

With a thought, Adrian conjured up shadowy, Mimic Ghost that emerged from the void, transforming into tall, muscular sailors who roamed around the Nether Abyss and moved back and forth on the deck.

This is the "ship watchman" that Adrian prepared.

Even if the Nether Abyss were attacked by malicious individuals, Adrian could instantly return using the abilities of the Demon Swordsman.

"Let's officially begin our journey to Fish-Man Island!"

Adrian beckoned to Lumi, and the Ship Spirit slipped into the Lead-Gray Pocket Watch and flew straight toward him.

The Ship Spirit didn't like interacting with strangers, but the Little Fox loved being around people.

Adrian put the pocket Pocket Watch in his pocket, and together with Louf, they left the harbor and strolled around the Fish-Man Island.

Fish-Man Island boasts a rich and diverse "shell culture".

Unlike the Sky Island with its towering clouds that transform shellfish into various combat tools, on Fish-Man Island, shellfish are more integrated into all aspects of the residents' daily lives.

Because it is located in the deep sea, corals and large shells are very common.

The residents of Fish-Man Island polished and refined these materials, which were then widely used in their daily lives. Colorful giant seashells and corals can be seen everywhere on the island, used as decorative materials and building materials.

Even the beds of some mermaid girls are made using large shellfish.

However, the situation on Fish-Man Island was not as prosperous as Adrian had expected.

On the wide streets, Merfolk were rarely seen; instead, the Fish-Man Race who walked around were more ferocious-looking, sharp-toothed, and muscular.

For a moment, Adrian mistook it for Fish-Man District.

Walking on the streets of Fish-Man Island, Adrian could clearly feel the undisguised hostile gazes frequently cast upon him by the surrounding Fish-Man Race.

Without needing to think for long, Adrian figured out the reason and couldn't help but shake his head slightly.

"Merfolk, Fish-Man Race, humans... another case of racial discrimination that's hard to unravel."

"Adrian- sama, the way these people are looking at us is terrifying..."

Louf's fox ears twitched slightly, and she nervously tugged at the hem of Adrian's clothes.

Although she comes from the Mink Tribe of Zou Island, the Little Fox is not the type to excel in combat; she is simply a pure little cook.

"It's alright," Adrian said, patting the Little Fox's head. "If you really don't want to see them, go play with Lumi in the castle, and come out again when you find a suitable place."

"Um!"

Louf nodded, and with a ripple of invisible energy, she was taken into Lumi's Pocket Watch Castle.

This behavior was also observed by the passing Fish-Man Race, and many of Fish-Man immediately changed their expressions, turning their gazes away and pretending nothing had happened. They no longer dared to look at Adrian with hostility.

"Ha, is this the intimidating power of Devil Fruit User?"

Adrian chuckled softly.

The Fish-Man- men on Fish-Man Island only truly developed their tribal self-confidence after Fisher Tiger's rise and the emergence of the Sun Pirates.

Of course, more than a decade later, the Fish-Man Race led by Hody Jones had become an absolutely racist group with completely distorted values...

Just then, a commotion suddenly arose in the distance, mixed with piercing screams.

A red light flashed in Adrian's eyes as he activated his Observation Haki. Soon, an expression of interest appeared on his face.

"Something interesting is about to happen... How will this group of still- Awakening Fish-Man Race react to the kidnapped mermaid lady?"

Minutes later, the riot spread to the neighborhood Adrian was passing through.

A large and imposing Pirates crew was seen brazenly rampaging through the streets.

The leader was a tall man, dressed in a black leather jacket and pants, about seven meters tall. He had short, brownish-yellow hair like steel needles, and his fleshy face was filled with a pair of bell-like eyes. Two huge bull horns, curving upwards on either side of his forehead, were also visible.

A minotaur that looks like a Monster!

At this very moment, a voluptuous Merfolk was carrying on the shoulder of this minotaur, and piercing screams echoed in the air.

"Hahaha! I never expected to capture a female Merfolk so soon after arriving at Fish-Man Island. She could fetch at least 50 million Beli at auction in the Sabaody Archipelago!"

"Don't you even know who Captain Paris is?! He's the captain of our Bullhead Pirates! A brutal Great Pirate with Bounty exceeding 200 million Beli!"

"These trashy Fish-Man, each one only sells for a million Beli. If only I could find a few more female Merfolk!"

"Speaking of which, the guards on Fish-Man Island are really weak! They don't even have the ability to stop us."

The boasts and flattery of the Pirates henchmen constantly irritated the surrounding Fish-Man Race.

However, even as the Pirates had almost finished walking down the street, not a single Fish-Man dared to step forward and resist.

Before the Whitebeard Pirates planted their flag on Fish-Man Island, this beautiful and dreamlike island was constantly subjected to large-scale Pirates invasions.

During this period, many Merfolk ladies have been captured and taken to the Sabaody Archipelago above, where they have become slaves to nobles and wealthy merchants.

This is the real reason why there are hardly any Merfolk on the streets right now.

As for resistance?

Pirates who dare to capture Merfolk on Fish-Man Island and are confident they can send them to the Sabaody Archipelago for auction must be at least Great Pirate with Bounty exceeding 50 million Beli. The strength of such Pirates crew is simply beyond the capabilities of ordinary Fish-Man Race!

Although the Ryugu Palace also dispatched guards to protect the Merfolk, the strength and number of these guards were ultimately too weak and too few compared to the overwhelming number of Pirates, and they were simply unable to effectively alleviate the situation.

What Fish-Man Island desperately needs is a truly powerful figure who can keep things under control!

However, such a character does not exist on Fish-Man Island at this stage!

[Chapter 145 [The Mermaid's Lament] (Bonus Chapter for 600 Monthly Tickets)]

With his mind racing, Adrian stood at the edge of the crowd, observing the noisy farce with a detached eye.

If he waited a little longer and still no Fish-Man dared to stand up and resist, he would prepare to take action himself.

Adrian had heard exactly what those Pirates henchmen said.

The captain of the Bullhead Pirates named Paris has a Bounty exceeding 200 million Beli!

With the help of the Pirate Bounty-to-Experience Exchange System, this guy has roughly the equivalent of 20 million experience points.

A walking 20 million dollar fortune—why not take it while you can!

Just then, a message popped up on the panel.

You have triggered C-Rank Random Mission [Hero Saves Fish]!

[Mission Brief: Miss Syrina has been coerced and bound by a vicious Pirates crew that has invaded Fish-Man Island. She is about to be taken to the Sabaody Archipelago to be sold as a slave at an auction house and needs your help.]

[Mission Hint: Any tauren who uses violence to coerce others is trash!]

[Mission Requirements: Defeat/kill Minotaur Paris, defeat/annihilate the Bullhead Pirates]

[Task Reward: 5 million experience points, and a slight increase in Miss Syrina's favorability.]

Adrian's lips twitched slightly; the panel had inexplicably started to show its true colors again.

It's perfectly reasonable to trigger the quest at this point.

But the quest name "[Hero Saves Fish]"...
