Fish-Man Island is surrounded by a double-layered bubble. If you try to enter from somewhere other than the main entrance, you will fall directly between the two layers of bubbles. This is how Fish-Man Island prevents pirates from forcibly breaking in.
You need permission to enter through the entrance.
The pirates who arrived here were mostly newcomers, and none of them had the power to destroy the coated bubble that covered the entire Fish-Man Island. In addition, Fish-Man Island was under Whitebeard's protection, and with Whitebeard's flag flying, very few people dared to cause trouble.
Uya was too lazy to go around and enter through the entrance. He directly led Ain through two layers of bubbles and then landed on a beach on Fish-Man Island.
The interior of Fish-Man Island also features beaches, sandy beaches, and various beautiful coral structures.
On the beach, a large group of beautiful mermaids were playing. Generally, mermaids are rarely ugly; those are special cases of genetic mutation. Almost all mermaids are beautiful.
Princess Shirahoshi of Mermaid Island is the most beautiful of all the mermaids. Putting aside her charm and temperament, her appearance alone surpasses that of Empress Hancock of the Seven Warlords.
"The scenery is indeed beautiful. I've never been able to come here before, and now I've finally made up for it." Ain stood on the beach, looking at the beautiful corals and reefs all around, her eyes sparkling.
Uya, on the other hand, remained much calmer, merely showing an expression of appreciation as he took a few steps on the beach.
He could create such an environment himself, but it would be very difficult to create a life form like a mermaid. Creating a world is easy, but creating life is difficult.
Uya and Ain's presence was quickly noticed by some mermaids in the distance.
These beautiful mermaids were not afraid of Uya and Ain. Instead, they gathered around with curiosity. They rarely left Fish-Man Island, and it was extremely difficult to see humans on Fish-Man Island. So, when they saw humans, it was as if humans saw them.
"Excuse me, are you human?" A beautiful mermaid wearing delicate earrings and two seashells covering her chest asked Uya and Ain with great curiosity.
Uya didn't answer, but Ain smiled and nodded, saying, "Yes, we are human."
As soon as she finished speaking, Ain suddenly felt something was off, and couldn't help but glance at Uya again, her gaze seeming to ask, "Are you human?"
Ain's gaze immediately left Uya speechless. Although his identity was not important to him, this kind of gaze was really too strange.
So Uya face.
When Ain saw Uya's expression, she stuck out her tongue, chuckled, and then turned to look at the mermaids, quickly starting a conversation with them.
Humans are curious about the lives of mermaids, and mermaids are naturally curious about humans as well. Ain and these mermaids quickly started chatting, with Ain asking fewer questions and answering more questions.
Uya didn't join in or listen to their conversation. Instead, she raised her head and looked up at the Ryugu Palace above Fish-Man Island with a flicker in her eyes.
Ryugu Palace is naturally the residence of King Neptune of Fish-Man Island, as well as Shirahoshi and other princes.
Compared to Fish-Man Island below, the scenery of the Ryugu Palace is undoubtedly more beautiful.
However, just as Uya looked towards the Ryugu Palace, he suddenly saw a huge axe from afar pierce through two layers of bubbles and fall into the Ryugu Palace.
"This is..."
After a slight pause, Uya suddenly realized what was happening and couldn't help but let out a "heh".
Without a doubt, this axe must have been thrown by Vander Decken IX at the mermaid princess Shirahoshi.
Vander Decken, who overheard Shirahoshi's true identity by chance, has been trying to obtain Shirahoshi's power ever since. He started by throwing love letters at her, and later began throwing various weapons at her, even at the cost of destroying Fish-Man Island.
Shirahoshi's identity is indeed so attractive, not only because of her unparalleled beauty, but more importantly, because she is Poseidon, one of the three Ancient Weapons, and has the ability to summon Sea Kings.
" Ryugu Palace, Mermaid Princess, Vander Decken..." Uya smiled slightly, his gaze shifting from the Ryugu Palace above to what was directly in front of him.
Suddenly, a commotion arose there, accompanied by some exclamations.
It was at this moment that the mermaids who had been surrounding Ain suddenly changed their expressions and said in a somewhat panicked tone, "Oh no, what a coincidence, those guys actually came."
"You'd better hide quickly, it'll be troublesome if they see you!" Several mermaids frantically shouted at Uya Uya Ain, preparing to hide Ain.
However, Uya and Ain remained unmoved, instead looking together in the direction from which the commotion was coming.
There, several fishmen, looking fierce and wielding weapons, appeared to be arguing and threatening some mermaids.
On Fish-Man Island, although there are good and bad fishmen, most of them are vicious, while mermaids are the opposite, with most being kind. So even though both fishmen and mermaids live on Fish-Man Island, the mermaids rarely want to interact with the fishmen.
Just then, amidst the commotion of the fishmen, someone suddenly spotted Uya and Ain, and then the other fishmen also looked over.
The fish-men exchanged glances, each noticing a hint of something different in the other's eyes.
Although mermaids can transform their tails into legs after the age of thirty, Uya and Ain are clearly human and definitely not mermaids.
Humans... have actually appeared on Fish-Man Island?!
Although Fish-Man Island does not prohibit humans from entering, it is not easy to get Fish-Man Island. Moreover, even if you do get in, some Fish-Man Island who hate humans will try to kill these damned humans.
In their eyes, all these humans were intruders.
"Human?!"
"How did you get in...?"
"Hmph! So what if they got entry permits? These damned humans dared to enter Fish-Man Island. We might as well just treat them as intruders and deal with them!"
A fierce glint suddenly appeared in the eyes of one of the fishmen.
It seemed that this wasn't the first time he'd done something like this; his ferocious appearance instilled fear in the surrounding merfolk.
The fish-men are divided into two factions: one led by Jinbe, who advocate peace, and the other led by Arlong, who hate humans.
These were clearly a group of fish-men led by Arlong, who hated humans.
"Kill these humans, then treat them as intruders. But we need to be quick, or we won't be able to do it when the guards from the Ryugu Palace arrive."
"Don't worry, these mere humans only have a tenth the strength of us fish-men. Just like last time, they have no power to resist." (To be continued.)
