Pirates: The first companion is Tom Cat

"It doesn't matter. We are familiar with this sea area and can know the way without a pointer." The "we" here probably refers to Princess Otohime herself and the fish pulling the boat.

Generally speaking, if a ship wants to go to Fishman Island, in addition to relying on a pointer, it also needs an excellent navigator to always pay attention to the surrounding environment and currents to avoid hitting obstacles and damaging the bubble wrap or riding the wrong current.

According to Brooke, once one accidentally enters a deep ocean current, it will take thousands of years to return to the surface.

Therefore, many powerful pirates will choose to tame a sea beast to pull the boat to increase the chance of survival.

"By the way, you said before that you sent a Heavenly Dragon back to Marigioa. How did he end up living on Fish-Man Island?" Zhang Da was also curious. If he was in a shipwreck, he wouldn't have sunk 10,000 meters and still be alive on Fish-Man Island. Bar?

"I also asked the reason for this matter, and it's okay to tell everyone." Princess Othime told them the ins and outs.

The cause of this incident was that Fisher Tiger caused a disturbance in Mary Joa three years ago and freed a large number of slaves. The slaves in the Musgarud family were also freed, including some fishmen.

For three years, the Tianlong people have been ordering the world government and the navy to recover slaves for them, but with little success.

And this year, or not long ago, Tiger died, Jinbe joined the Shichibukai, and all members of the Sun Pirates were pardoned, including those who had been slaves.

Most of the Celestial Dragons who lost their slaves no longer cared much about it. It would be fine if the culprit died and the slaves could be bought again.

Musgarud is a special case. He thinks that it is his family's property. Why can't he recover it? Since the navy won't help, he will go alone.

So this hard-headed guy took a group of ordinary guards and took a boat to Fish-Man Island to capture the fish-men himself.

As a result, they were attacked by sea monsters when they were about to arrive at Fish-Man Island. All the guards on the ship died. Only Musgarud was lucky enough to survive and drifted to Fish-Man Island.

It sounds like nonsense, but it makes sense when it comes to the Celestial Dragons. He probably thinks that sea beasts and currents should also obey him.

"Although his motives were terrible, he has now corrected himself. He has freed all the slaves in his family and promised me that he will never buy slaves again." Princess Otohime is very satisfied with her educational achievements.

Teaching a Celestial Dragon to be good seemed to Zhang Daye to be a miracle. He even suspected that Princess Otohime had the purifying power of Nangong Wenya.

"Um...should we turn off the lights? It's very conspicuous now. It feels like those big fish outside will pounce at any time." Rui Mengmeng pointed at a fish big enough to bite half the boat in one bite and said with some fear. .

"A little light doesn't matter. Many of the fish here have degenerated eyes. They don't rely on vision to catch prey." Princess Otohime said, "And the speed of Aeel here is also one of the best."

Aeel was the name of the fish carrying the boat. As if in response to Princess Otohime's words, Aeel carried them through the sea quickly and entered a small hole under the red earth continent.

The small hole is only relative to the red earth continent, but it is already quite large for people and ships.

"The trench in front has a depth of 10,000 meters, and Fish-Man Island is right below it!" Princess Otohime was very happy. The week-long journey away from Fish-Man Island alone was already a long one for her, and she missed herself very much now. Lovely kids.

After entering the trench, everyone's eyes suddenly brightened up. It was clearly the bottom of the ocean, but it was filled with sunlight.

The most eye-catching thing is a small island suspended in the sea in front of it, and the huge and dense tree roots next to it.

Princess Otohime introduced: "Those are the roots of the Sun Tree Eve, which can transmit sunlight from the sea to Fishman Island, so Fishman Island has the same day and night as the ground.

At the same time, it can also provide air to Fish-Man Island. It is because of the Sun Tree Eve that we can feel the sunshine and air at the bottom of the sea 10,000 meters deep. We call it the blessing of the sun. "

Shark Pepper tapped his shark head: "I feel like this is completely unscientific."

Rui Mengmeng leaned on the railing and looked out: "But it's really magical, and it's like a scene in a fairy tale."

Arturia looked around: "It's the same dreamy island as Shampoo Land, no, it's much more magical than Shampoo Land."

Yes, the sun is shining all over the bottom of the sea, the islands are enclosed in bubbles, surrounded by colorful fish, seahorses and other marine life, huge tree roots, and seaweed floating gently with the current.

Although it is not scientific, it is really beautiful.

Tom wanted to jump out for a swim. It would be a shame not to go for a swim in such a nice place.

He is the kind of cat who is very mobile and wants to go wherever he wants.

Tom jumped out of Princess Otohime's arms as soon as a hungry cat pounced on food, closed his eyes in mid-air and made a gesture of diving into the water.

Then he swam with his eyes closed, including breaststroke, backstroke, butterfly, and freestyle. Tom showed off all the swimming styles.

Then he turned around and jumped back with satisfaction, landed on the deck, and flapped his ears, trying to get all the water out of them.

When he opened his eyes, a whole boatload of people were laughing.

Tom looked outside the screen inexplicably, spreading his hands and not knowing what was going on.

Because as soon as Tom jumped out, Zhang Daye caught him smoothly. When he swam with his eyes closed, it was Zhang Daye who held him with both hands and helped him move in line with Tom's swimming style.

So what everyone saw was that Tom jumped onto Zhang Daye's hand, pretended to swim with his eyes closed, and looked satisfied after jumping off, without even noticing that the hair on his body was dry.

Zhang Da also held back his laughter and picked up Tom: "Okay, I'm done swimming. Don't mess around when I'm a guest later."

Tom nodded. He was being polite.

Princess Otohime stopped laughing and said, "This is the back of Fishman Island. Let's go in from the front entrance."

Fish-Man Island is wrapped with two layers of bubble wrap. There is an air layer between the two layers of film. If you enter illegally without going through the entrance, you will fall directly in the air layer, either falling back into the sea or landing on Fish-Man Island. Even the people and the boat finished playing together.

Those who fall into the sea are not much better, because after the coated boat comes into contact with the bubble wrap on the outer layer of Fishman Island, the coating on the boat will be stripped away, which means that it will fall into the deep sea without protection and die. to water pressure.

So that Musgarud was really lucky. He encountered a shipwreck here and still managed to enter Fish-Man Island.

As soon as Princess Otohime's ship approached the entrance, the soldier in charge of immigration inspection immediately became excited:

"It's the princess! The princess is back safely!"

"Great! Open the entrance quickly! Report to Dragon Palace City!"

"Otohime-sama!"

Otohime stood on the bow of the ship with a smile and waved to the soldiers: "Everyone, thank you for your hard work! I'm back, and I brought important guests with me!"

Two years before the Straw Hats started practicing, Kemi and Hachi said they would go to Fish-Man Island through a small hole under the Red Continent, but two years later, it seems that they didn't show the camera at all. I don't know if it was a set up or I missed it... …

Speaking of Nangong Wenya, I originally wanted the Shen Nong Beast from Shen Wen Xiaojun, which can cure all diseases and eliminate all poisons, but its combat power is a bit lacking, and it has to cooperate with another Bei Mingxue who has no combat power in order to transform, so I gave up in the end. .
