Pirates: The first partner 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.

For ordinary ships that want to go to Fishman Island, in addition to relying on pointers, they also need 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 you accidentally enter the 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 ship to improve their chances 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 about the reason for this, so it doesn't matter if I tell you." Princess Otohime told them the whole story.

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

For three years, the Celestial Dragons have been ordering the World Government and the Navy to recover slaves for them, but with little success.

But 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, so why can't it be recovered? Since the navy won't help, he will do it himself.

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

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

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

"Although his motives were terrible, he has now corrected himself, freed all the slaves at home, and promised me never to buy slaves again." Princess Otohime was very satisfied with her educational achievements.

Teaching a Celestial Dragon to be good seemed to Zhang Daye to be nothing short of a miracle. He even suspected that Princess Otohime possessed Nangong Wenya's purifying power.

"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 of 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 eels here is also one of the best."

Aeel was the name of the fish that carried 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 is 10,000 meters deep, and Fish-Man Island is right below it!" Princess Otohime was very happy. The one-week journey away from Fish-Man Island alone was already a long one for her, and she missed herself very much now.

Lovely children.

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, 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 sun and air at a depth of 10,000 meters. We call it the blessing of the sun."

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

Rui Mengmeng lay 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 shines 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 pity not to go for a swim in such a beautiful place.

He is the kind of cat who is very mobile and can 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, 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 and spread his hands, 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 according to 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 again when I'm a guest at someone else's place later."

Tom nodded, he knew how to be 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 and either fall back into the sea or fall on Fish-Man Island.

We finished playing with the boat and the people on board.

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 Musgard was really lucky. He was shipwrecked here and still managed to enter Fish-Man Island.

As soon as Princess Otohime's ship approached the entrance, the soldiers responsible for entry 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!"
