The Straw Hat Pirates's conversation continued, and the subsequent story was similar to that in the original work. This year's Supernovas Caribou and his brother caught up with the submerged Thousand Sunny. The two brothers were similar to Capone Bege, both wanting to infiltrate powerful forces, kill their bosses, and gain greater fame.
They were completely fooled by the imposter Luffy before, but thankfully the real Luffy appeared later, and they managed to shake off the Marines and catch up with him.
The sea monster that pulled Caribou's ship was no longer the one Arlong and his crew had used. When Arlong's Fish-Man Pirates were forced to leave the East Blue by Vic, that sea monster left with them. However, Caribou was well-versed in the ways of sea navigation and had already found a sea monster to pull their ship, making the most of their time and effort.
Although the sea monster didn't recognize Sanji and Luffy, Luffy's domineering aura still had a deterrent effect. He only glanced at the sea monster, and the ordinary sea monster couldn't stand it at all. After Caribou boarded the Thousand Sunny, it was so frightened that it pulled the ship away and ran away, leaving the completely unaware Caribou to fight alone on the side of the Thousand Sunny!
No one responded to Caribou's shouts during his attack. The Straw Hat Pirates stared at him like he was an idiot. The scene was truly embarrassing. If Caribou had been wearing shoes, the soles would probably have been torn through. Luckily, the Thousand Sunny was made of Treasure Tree Adam; otherwise, it would have fallen apart long ago!
However, Caribou was smart enough to realize that he was now all alone. He surrendered without any resistance and did not reveal his identity Logia Devil Fruit user. This was a way of showing weakness to the enemy, and the Thousand Sunny temporarily returned to peace.
The presence of the newly captured Caribou isn't entirely without its advantages for the Straw Hat Pirates. At least he's better than Nami and Franky at coating and sea navigation, and he can offer advice if they encounter trouble during their dives.
They had no choice but to come up with a plan, since he'd gotten on the same bandwagon too. And so, the Straw Hat Pirates's notoriously eccentric trio donned their soap bubble underwater combat suits, stormed out of the Thousand Sunny, resolved the Siren's shipwreck crisis, and rescued Princess Shirahoshi's pet shark.
However, the three freaks were also scattered by the eruption of the underwater volcano. Fate is truly wondrous. Without Vic's involvement, the Straw Hat Pirates ' adventure returned to its original trajectory.
Even without the hatred between Luffy and the Fish-Man Pirates 'Arlong, Luffy's name still reached Fish-Man Island during the Paramount War. Hody Jones was also brewing a big conspiracy and needed a lot of manpower, so he was forcibly recruiting even the human pirates he hated the most!
The Straw Hat Pirates are also on the recruitment list, which means that as long as they go to Fish-Man Island at this time, the Straw Hat Pirates will definitely clash with Hody Jones. Even if many related factors are gone, the battle for Fish-Man Island is inevitable!
But given Luffy's personality, how could he agree to such a request? This would Luffy's resolve and force him not to give up his dream. Naturally, Luffy would resist, but being underwater would be too restrictive. Luffy had no choice but to order a forced raid on Fish-Man Island.
Little did they know that the giant bubble enveloping Fish-Man Island was actually double-layered. The Thousand Sunny plunged directly into the sea, and all the Devil Fruit User on board rolled their eyes and started blowing bubbles!
The Fish-Man Island storyline hasn't changed much. Thanks to Vic's instructions, Fisher Tiger didn't interfere in Fish-Man Island's affairs, and Arlong, unable to bear Jinbe's suppression, went to explore the New World alone. Hody Jones is still plotting their conspiracy and plans to carry out a coup in the next few days!
Hody's crew was a perk for the Straw Hat Pirates crew as they left the beginner village. If it weren't for the existence of that kind of potent Energy Steroids overdraws life force to enhance all aspects of physical abilities, there would have been no need for the two sides to fight each other. Hody and those other members of the New Fish-Man Pirates were truly frogs in a well. The only one with some strength, the octopus swordsman, was hired, but he was only slightly stronger.
At the level of the Straw Hat Pirates, sheer numbers are no longer enough to win. So even if Hody assembled a massive army of 100,000, he would still be no match for the Straw Hat Pirates. It was just a matter of when they would be defeated!
Although Vanda Duncan ultimately drove Noah's Ark in an attempt to perish together with Fish-Man Island, he also Awakening Poseidon Shirahoshi. All the changes came to an end. Vanda Duncan was killed by Hody, and Hody's crew was defeated by the Straw Hat Pirates. The deadly crisis on Fish-Man Island was resolved!
If it weren't for the fear that other methods wouldn't be able to Awakening Shirahoshi's talent for summoning Sea Kings, Vic would have had Fisher Tiger kill Vanda Duncan long ago!
For so many years, he had been throwing weapons at Shirahoshi. Even if Vic didn't live in the Hard-Shell Tower, he would still be incredibly annoyed! Just thinking about it made him furious, and his murderous intent surged. It was only because he didn't see it that he was so angry. Vic rarely came to Fish-Man Island, otherwise he would have already been unable to suppress his murderous intent and killed Vanda Duncan!
On the other side, after escaping from the Thousand Sunny, Caribou not only kidnapped several mermaid girls, but also took advantage of the chaos to infiltrate the Ryugu Palace, stealing a lot of treasure. He even tried to kidnap Shirahoshi, the Poseidon. He was incredibly audacious and greedy.
However, just as Caribou was about to succeed, he was discovered and knocked away by the three freaks. But soon after, Nami beat up the trio and forced them to go find him, because Neptune had promised to give all the treasure Caribou stole to the Straw Hat Pirates.
Since Fish-Man Island is now under the protection of Vic's Thunder God Pirates, the major conflict of Luffy provoking Four Emperors Big Mom and exchanging treasure for the candy they ate has not occurred, nor has the famous scene of Luffy declaring war on Four Emperors Big Mom and scaring the cowardly trio has happened!
So this time, the Straw Hat Pirates really struck it rich, thanks to the Thunder God Pirates. Neptune even managed to pick out the Tamatebako from the treasure, preventing the Thousand Sunny from exploding! The Straw Hat Pirates had never been so wealthy before, and Nami was so excited she cried. However, Luffy immediately reached out for money, ruining her good mood! The fierce glint in Nami's eyes even scared Zoro away, while Luffy, oblivious, continued to reach out!
The adventure on Fish-Man Island was a trial for the Straw Hat Pirates as they left their beginner village, and a stage to test the results of their two years of training. However, this was only a small test. Hody's crew could not be considered an equal enemy. Without the support of the Energy Steroids, Hody and his crew would not even be able to get on the table.
Of course, this applies to the Straw Hat Pirates after two years of training. The national power led by Neptune of Fish-Man Island's Ryugu Palace could not stop Hody Jones's long-planned operation. King Neptune was almost publicly executed by Hody Jones. If the Straw Hat Boy had been a step later, Fisher Tiger, who was lurking on Fish-Man Island just in case, would have made his move.
Although Vic didn't go to Fish-Man Island with the Shirahoshi Straw Hat Pirates, he made arrangements for Poseidon's safety. Vic, like a butterfly flapping its wings, had already made his move, and he himself couldn't say where the impact would be. He could only make some adjustments to ensure that the overall direction remained unchanged.
Vic has some influence on the world, but it's unrealistic to say he influences every aspect of it. As far as this world is concerned, his influence isn't that great; many things that were bound to happen have already happened!
Perhaps this world really does have a predetermined general direction. If you deviate too much from this general direction, you will be pulled back onto the right track by an invisible force. Vic only made some minor changes in certain areas. In order to be prescient, he also hid behind the scenes and pushed the plot in the general direction of the original work.
Perhaps for this reason, the few changes he brought about did not affect the general direction of world development. Therefore, the few people whose fates were changed by him did not follow their predetermined old paths. As the tides of generations roll forward, it is normal for a few to slip through the net!
The Straw Hat Pirates's trip to Fish-Man Island was spectacular, with many events taking place in just two or three days. Including the sailing time to and from Fish-Man Island, it was only about ten to fifteen days. The Straw Hat Pirates gained the friendship of the Fish-Man Race family, Luffy even gained the trust of the Ancient Weapon Poseidon Shirahoshi. In the near future, they will fight side by side and overturn the entire world!
