【Fishman Street】
Tiger and Jinbe stood on the arena in Fishman Town, their upper bodies bare, revealing the very conspicuous hoof prints of the Nine Heavens Soaring Dragon on their chests.
"I have been defeated by humanity, I have become a slave!!"
Upon hearing this, the fishmen who regarded Fisher Tiger as a legend of Fishman Street all showed disbelief.
"What nonsense are you spouting, Tiger!"
"That's right, Big Brother Tiger! How could you possibly be defeated by mere humans!"
12-year-old Alon roared angrily:
"You must be lying to us, stop lying, Big Brother Tiger!"
"This mark!"
Tiger pointed to the slave mark on his chest.
"It's a special mark the Celestial Dragons give to their slaves. I failed, but!!"
This roar cut off the murlocs' cries.
"I was rescued by the leaders of the Beasts Pirates!"
"They're the ones who gave me my freedom! For my sake, they even dared to storm the Holy Land of Mary Geoise! You little brats, listen up!!"
"There are many bad people among humanity, but there are also true men whose souls are filled with loyalty!"
"The same applies to us fish-men!"
Tiger's bright, shining eyes seemed to house the sun.
"Stop instilling hatred between humans and merfolk into the little merfolk! You scum, listen up!!!"
"That's what I, Fisher Tiger, said."
"Humans and fish-men should coexist. This is what a human girl told me during my time of enslavement."
"Even on her deathbed, she was pleading with Boss Bazel. She said, she said—."
Tiger's body trembled.
Whenever he recalls that memory, Tiger feels his emotions are on the verge of collapse.
"She said her second wish was for fish-men and humans to live together under the sun!!!"
The fishmen below the arena erupted in uproar.
"Even humans have such awareness and conviction, so why can't fish-men have it!?"
"What nonsense are you spouting, Tiger!"
Tiger looked at the speaker, his face grim:
"Vander Deiken IX, if you disagree with what I said, then stand up here and I'll show you what all that bullshit meant with my fists."
Vander Deiken IX immediately shut up.
He wouldn't dare fight the boss of Fishman Street.
We're going to lose 100%.
But just because Vander Decken IX kept quiet doesn't mean the other merfolk will.
The reason why Fishman Street is called a lawless place is because the fishmen here are all educated with a certain ideology.
Extending the theory of hatred between fish and humans.
Tiger understood this well, which is why he chose to go on an adventure at sea after gaining a certain level of strength.
He wanted to see the world for himself.
but----·
Looking at his compatriots who were "shared in hatred against the enemy," Fisher Tiger suddenly felt a deep sadness in his heart.
"Jinbe, let's go. The fishmen here are beyond saving."
"The fish-men in this place will pay the price for their actions sooner or later."
"When the other fish-men are living in the sunlight, they will realize how wrong their current choice was."
Hearing a barrage of negative and foul language around him, Tiger decided not to stay any longer.
When they saw those merfolk ignoring reality, still immersed in the so-called "glory and power" of the merfolk race, and believing that humans were inferior beings who were easily defeated.
Tiger knows.
No matter what he says, it's useless.
Since his words cannot win back his compatriots, let the reality of the future crush them!
"coward!"
"I even thought you were my boss! You useless bastard!!"
"Shh~" Get out of Fishman Street!
There are exceptions to everything.
Several murlocs who had previously been subdued by Hanafza suddenly stepped out of the crowd and followed Fisher Tiger.
"Hello!"
"Are you all going to betray the honor of the fish-men too!?"
Vander Deiken IX raised his hand, his expression stubborn and arrogant.
"Don't stop them. Let them go if they want. We are the great Fish-Men, the masters of this sea!"
"I, Vander Decken IX, am willing to lead you to restore the glory of the Merfolk!"
"Drive those trashy humans out of the sea, let them live on those islands waiting to die. This sea belongs to us fish-men!!"
"Long live Vander Deikun IX! Long live the Great Vander Deikun IX!"
"Van der Deikun IX, I will follow you forever!!"
Standing outside Fishman Town, Jinbe turned around and glanced at the familiar street, his expression complex.
"Brother Tiger, is this really okay?"
"What do you mean?" Tiger countered.
"They—throat!"
"Na na~~"
Suddenly, three little hands tugged at Tiger's clothes.
"Big Brother Tiger, is that human really that powerful?"
Tiger first glanced at the few fishmen who followed them out of Fishman Street, then squatted down and grinned.
"Of course, Xiao Ba, those two bosses are super strong people who can defeat me with just one hand."
"Speaking of which, why did you come out with me? Were you unhappy in Fishman Street?"
'
"No, it's just that I don't like them always fighting, and all those weird hatreds."
Little Hachi raised his six little fists.
"My dream is to open a super delicious takoyaki shop!"
"I'm going to conquer that incredibly powerful human with my super delicious takoyaki!"
"He'll definitely exclaim that my takoyaki is the most delicious food in the world!"
As soon as Xiao Ba uttered these childlike words, Tiger and the others burst into laughter.
"Then I'll be looking forward to your takoyaki! Come on, I'll take you to see Bazel and Boss Kaido!"
Tiger picked up Hachi and let him sit on the back of his neck.
"Tiger is departing! Little Hachi, hold on tight!"
"Whoa! I'm holding on tight, let's go!"
Looking at their childlike leader, the fishman standing next to Jinbe sighed:
"Tiger is like a completely different fishman. It seems the story about him becoming a slave is true."
Jinbe didn't explain further, but looked at the four people beside him: "What about you? What are your plans?"
"If you're planning to join the Beasts Pirates, Boss Tiger can put in a good word for you."
The four fishmen looked at each other, and finally it was the carp fishman Eddie who spoke first.
"Jinbe, is Tiger planning to join?"
"Boss Tiger? He doesn't plan to join."
Jinbe grinned and said:
"My brother said he wasn't strong enough to join the Beasts Pirates. If he's only joining because of personal connections, he might as well stay in Paradise."
"However, he recommended that I join the Beasts Pirates, and said that the Beasts Pirates were going to spend a long time doing something big."
"He wants me to go there and be a witness."
"Then we'll go with you!"
Eddie made a plan and looked at the other three:
"We are all losers defeated by Boss Hanafza. We want to become stronger and challenge him again!"
"Moreover, we cannot forget Tiger's kindness. I cannot let humans think that we fish-men are ungrateful trash."
"Jinbe, please put in a good word for us! We want to join the Beasts Pirates!"
"No problem, I'll talk to Brother Tiger myself!"
Several days later, Bazel, who was suffering from a hangover, was woken up by Tiger.
"It's Tiger, another slave trader?"
"No, it's a personal request. Could you please come with me?"
Bazel rubbed his hair, yawned, and got up.
"—This is really troublesome. Alright, alright, then I'll trouble you to lead the way."
After leaving Fishford Hill, where Neptune's villa is located, quickly travel to the unknown land via the [WATERROAD] passage.
"Aren't you worried that we merfolk might harm you?"
After feeling the gentle underwater breeze on his face, Bazel felt much more refreshed.
"Disadvantage? Don't be ridiculous. If you think I'm afraid of seawater just because I have superpowers, you're sorely mistaken."
A snake spirit emerged from the cuff.
"My abilities are effective against the sea, which means I have a certain fighting ability even in the sea."
"As expected of you."
Tiger responded with a compliment.
Seeing Tiger's restraint, Bazel roughly understood what the other man wanted to do by contacting him.
ask for help.
This expression only appears on the face of someone asking for a favor.
Tiger's request is most likely to involve using his connections to get his friend to join the Beasts Pirates.
After escaping from [WATERROAD], Bazel looked surprised at his surroundings.
"This is the Sea Forest where the historical inscriptions are kept, right?"
Tiger nodded and led the way forward.
"Hachi, Jinbe, and everyone else, come out. I've brought Boss Bazel here."
