Upon hearing the starfish Pappag's reminder, Camie realized that while it might be okay if they were ordinary humans or even pirates, Uya and Ain seemed to be from the Marines.
Because the fishman Tiger was chased and seriously injured by the Navy, and eventually died from excessive blood loss, many fishmen hated the human Navy even more, but they dared not confront the Navy's large force on the sea.
For Uya and Ain, going to Fish-Man Island alone, they would easily be targeted by the ferocious fishmen. In the eyes of those fishmen, the death of a couple of Marines is nothing.
"Um, if you want to go to Fish-Man Island, you'll have to change your clothes," Camie said to Ain after thinking for a moment.
Ain was wearing a navy uniform, while Uya was wearing a loose white robe that looked very ordinary and had no connection with the navy.
Hearing Camie's words, Ain was slightly surprised and asked, "Change clothes? Why?"
"Because..."
Camie hesitated, but Pappag suddenly jumped onto her shoulder and said very seriously, "There are only two of you. It's dangerous to go to Fish-Man Island like this. Changing out of your navy uniforms will make it safer."
Although Pappag's words weren't very direct, Ain was intelligent enough to understand them instantly, and her expression immediately darkened.
The fish-men of Fish-Man Island... dare to attack the Marines?!
No need to change clothes.
Uya looked at Pappag and spoke calmly.
Looking at Uya's expression, Pappag immediately showed a helpless look, then turned to look at Camie beside him, Camie also shook her head helplessly.
"Alright then, but remember, when you get to Fish-Man Island, it's best not to go where the fishmen live. We fishmen are very peace-loving and never fight."
Fish-men and mermaids are two different creatures. Fish-men are human bodies with fish fins or similar things growing out of them, similar to Jinbe. Their lower bodies are still legs. Mermaids, on the other hand, have a human upper body and a fish tail lower body.
In comparison, fish-men look terrible from a human aesthetic point of view, while mermaids are quite cute.
After hearing what Camie said, Ain nodded at Camie. Although it didn't sound very pleasant, Camie were clearly well-intentioned.
Uya stood there quietly, without saying a word.
Soon, the mermaid Camie led the way, taking Uya and Ain diving into the deep sea. The deeper they went, the stronger the water pressure became, but it was still nothing to Uya.
Let alone a seabed ten thousand meters deep, even a seabed one hundred thousand meters deep, Uya could easily create an area with air, and even make it permanently fixed.
"By the way, my name is Camie, and this is my pet Pappag."
As Camie led the way for Uya Uya and Ain Ain, she introduced herself to them while picking up the starfish Pappag and shaking it.
Pappag pulled out a pair of sunglasses from somewhere, put them on, and struck a very stylish pose.
Unfortunately, it was just a starfish. Uya and Ain glanced at it and then ignored it, which greatly discouraged Pappag, as its presence was extremely insignificant.
Gradually, the seawater began to turn pitch black.
Because we've reached the deep sea, sunlight can no longer penetrate the water to reach this point.
"This is already 5,000 meters deep. Humans who can get here without any coating are truly remarkable. You're probably the first."
Camie looked with some amazement at the area of air about ten feet around Uya and Ain.
Water pressure is nothing to mermaids, but for humans like Uya and Ain, especially with the air trapped inside and no coating, the pressure they experience is probably terrifying.
Despite the immense pressure, neither Uya nor Ain showed any signs of distress; they remained calm throughout.
Camie had originally planned to send Uya and Ain back to the surface if they couldn't hold on in deeper waters.
"Indeed, it's incredible."
Pappag looked at Uya and Ain in amazement and couldn't help but dive into the area that was about ten feet in size.
The next moment, Pappag suddenly felt light, lost the grip of gravity, and floated in the air. No matter how it thrashed its body, it couldn't move an inch.
His disheveled appearance made Ain laugh.
Finally, Camie reluctantly reached out and pulled Pappag out of there, and it finally breathed a sigh of relief, no longer daring to burrow in again.
The group continued their dive underwater.
Six thousand meters... seven thousand meters... eight thousand meters...
The deeper you go, the darker the sea becomes. At a depth of 8,000 meters, there is almost no light at all; it is pitch black.
Strangely, the area within one zhang around Uya not only isolated the seawater but also naturally emitted a soft white light, making the surrounding area seem as bright as day.
This power naturally surprised Pappag and Camie even more.
Just as they descended to a depth of 9,000 meters, and were about to reach 10,000 meters, an unusual ocean current suddenly appeared in the distance.
The Setsuna they felt the ocean current, Uya and Ain's expressions remained unchanged, but Camie and Pappag changed drastically at the same time.
"Oh no!! It's probably a giant Sea Kings!"
"Were you attracted here by the light?! I completely forgot to remind you that you can't just create light here."
Camie looked anxious. This current meant that the Sea Kings was very close, and extinguishing the light now would be useless.
Am I going to get eaten again...?
Although being swallowed by giant sea monsters had become commonplace, the feeling of being swallowed was not pleasant, and Camie really didn't want to experience it again.
The next moment, Pappag, the starfish next to Camie, was so frightened that his eyes widened.
Because, less than a hundred meters away, a huge outline finally appeared in the dark seawater, an outline that was simply unbelievably large.
Compared to this, the Sea Kings that could swallow warships whole are nothing!
This isn't just any large Sea Kings; it's the Sea Kings capable of supporting Ark Noah!
Although it is not as large as the giant elephant that could support the island of Zou with its back, it is still comparable to one-third the size of an island!
Even Ain was startled by its enormous size. She wouldn't be afraid of such a large Sea Kings on the surface, but this was the deep Sea Kings, and she didn't know how terrifying its power would be. (To be continued.)
