Wow! This seashell glows!
Yamato held a glowing seashell in his hands, his eyes sparkling.
"Those are Lamp Shell, a specialty of Fish-Man Island."
Charon explained that he had already gone home to see his grandfather and was now leading his companions on a tour as a guide.
Enel stared at the trident in the window of a weapons shop.
"That looks so cool..."
Savi, on the other hand, was interested in a martial arts dojo where Fish-Man Karate sparring match was being held.
The Pea was attracted by all sorts of strange marine plants and kept asking questions.
Four young people strolled through the streets of Fish-Man Island, attracting many curious glances.
Yamato's human appearance is particularly striking—although humans visit Fish-Man Island, little girls her age are rare.
"Look, it's a human child."
"She's so cute..."
"But it's still better to stay away; humans are dangerous."
"Yes, yes, look, he also has two horns."
The various whispers and discussions that reached Yamato somewhat uneasy.
Savi patted her head.
Don't be afraid, we're here.
Charon also offered words of comfort.
Most Fish-Man are friendly, but some still harbor resentment towards humans.
This is a problem left over from history, and Queen Otohime is working hard to change it.
Just as they were strolling down a relatively quiet street, the accident happened.
Several tall Fish-Man emerged from the alley and blocked their path.
These Fish-Man had unfriendly eyes and smelled of alcohol.
"Human brats, who gave you permission to wander around Fish-Man Island?"
The leader of the shark- Fish-Man grinned, revealing his sharp teeth.
Savi immediately shielded Yamato behind him, Enel and Pea also assumed fighting stances.
Charon stepped forward, blocking the group.
"They are guests of King Neptune, please step aside."
"Guest?"
Shark- Fish-Man Arlong sneered.
" Charon, when did you become a human's lackey? Don't forget you're Fish-Man!"
Charon's face darkened.
"They are my partners, not my enemies."
"Partner?"
Another Fish-Man mocked,
"To befriend humans? You've disgraced the Fish-Man!"
The atmosphere suddenly became tense. Savi whispered to his companions,
"Be careful, these people don't have good intentions."
Seeing the increasingly tense atmosphere, Charon could only try his best to ease the tension.
He knew that with Captain Roy's strength, if Savi and his men suffered any injustice here...
Fish-Man Island's strength is no match for the Roy Pirates ' wrath.
In addition, the daughter of the great pirate Kaido is also here.
"Hey! Arlong, they're members of the Roy Pirates!"
You haven't forgotten where they came from, have you?
"Shut up! Of course I know!"
Yamato gripped the spiked club on his back, a flicker of fear in his eyes, yet also a fierce fighting spirit burning within them.
She's Kaido's daughter, how can she back down here?
Just then, an anxious voice came from behind.
"Stop."
Jinbe approached quickly with a squad of palace guards, his face serious.
" Arlong, you're causing trouble again. These are the king's guests. Leave immediately."
When Arlong saw Jinbe, a look of fear flashed in his eyes, but he still didn't hold back his words.
"Brother Jinbe, are you also going to protect humans?"
Don't forget what Fisher Tiger said—humans cannot be trusted!
Mentioning Fisher Tiger, Jinbe's expression became even more serious.
"Brother Fisher Tiger's teachings are to protect our fellow citizens, not to provoke them without cause."
Leave immediately, or I will arrest you for disturbing the peace.
Arlong and the others exchanged glances, and finally left dejectedly, glaring fiercely at Savi and his group before departing.
Jinbe turned to Savi and the others, and said apologetically,
"I'm sorry to have startled you."
Those were young Fish-Man from Fish-Man District, and they harbored deep hostility towards humans.
Are you all alright?
"It's nothing, thank you, Brother Jinbe."
Charon said gratefully.
Yamato peeked out from behind Savi, looking at Jinbe curiously.
Jinbe smiled gently. "You are... Kaido's daughter, aren't you?"
Yamato's eyes widened in surprise. "How did you know?"
" Captain Roy mentioned it."
Jinbe said,
"You guys continue playing. I'll have someone secretly protecting you, and that kind of thing won't happen again."
With Jinbe's assurance, Savi and the others felt relieved and continued their sightseeing.
But this little incident also made Yamato realize that the relationship between Fish-Man and humans was far more complicated than she had imagined.
As evening fell, the group returned to the Ark Maxim.
With supplies replenished, Charon bid farewell to his grandfather and prepared to set off again.
Roy listened to Savi's report on the conflict and seemed thoughtful.
"The young Fish-Man from Fish-Man District...?"
He murmured,
"It seems that Queen Otohime is still very long."
Stella reported,
"Captain, all supplies are in place, and we are ready to depart at any time."
Roy nodded.
We'll leave first thing tomorrow morning.
As night deepened, the Ark Maxim docked in the harbor, its lights shining warmly against the backdrop of the underwater night.
Roy stood alone on the deck, gazing at the dreamlike night view of Fish-Man Island, pondering his next plan.
We must get involved in Fisher Tiger's case; it will be a pivotal opportunity to change the world.
Crocodile, that ambitious man, will not submit easily.
And there's the bear, that gentle yet powerful Buccaneer Tribe...
" Roy, aren't you going to rest?"
Hawk Eyes's voice came from behind.
Roy turned around and saw Hawk Eyes walking towards him with two bottles of liquor.
"Thinking about something."
Roy took the bottle.
" Mihawk, do you think the path we're on can change the world?"
Hawk Eyes took a sip of his drink and said calmly,
"What happens in the world is none of my concern. I only pursue the ultimate in swordsmanship. However..."
He looked at Roy,
"If it were you, perhaps you really could do something."
Roy laughed.
You think so highly of me?
"From the first time I saw you, I knew you were no ordinary person."
Hawk Eyes, unusually, said a few more words.
"You are ambitious, capable, and more importantly—you have a strange charisma that can unite different people around you."
The two drank their wine in silence, gazing at the night view of the seabed.
After a long while, Roy took a swig of wine.
" Mihawk may encounter many powerful enemies in the future, and may even face a direct conflict with the World Government."
Will you regret getting on my ship?
Hawk Eyes glanced at him.
"If I regretted it, I would have left long ago. Besides..."
A sharp glint flashed in his eyes.
"To spar with the world's top experts is exactly what I want."
Roy laughed.
"Alright! Let's turn this old world upside down together!"
The next morning, the Ark Maxim slowly rose into the air, leaving the bubble shield of Fish-Man Island.
They re-entered the deep sea and headed towards Alabasta.
Kyros and Scarlet, the new members of the ship, stood on the ship's side, watching the Fish-Man Island gradually disappear into the distance.
A new adventure begins.
Kyros gripped the hilt of his sword tightly, his eyes burning with fighting spirit.
Scarlet took his hand.
"Wherever we go, I'll be with you."
Roy stood at the bow of the ship, the sea breeze ruffling his black clothes.
Next target – the desert nation of Alabasta, Crocodile, the Devil Fruit User the Logia Sand-Sand Fruit.
"Let me see how much you're really worth, you future Shichibukai."
