Chapter 293

~6 min read 1,176 words

Fish-Man Island is a very suitable place to go.

560 Not to mention that Fish-Man Island itself had close ties with them, it was originally one of the protectorates under Bai Huzi.

Just speaking of Fish-Man Island's geographical location, it lies ten thousand li beneath the great ocean, extremely hidden, and will not be easily discovered by others.

Furthermore.

Fish-Man Island is located between the first half and the second half of the Grand Line.

In the future, once they find the specific location of Blackbeard's lair, they can set out from the seabed, arrive quickly, and take the Black Crew by surprise!

No matter which angle is considered, Fish-Man Island is the most perfect hiding place!

One person was the happiest, namely Nami, captain of the Whitebeard Pirates' Eighth Division.

Nami is a fish-man and is a close friend of Jinbe.

He heard that Jinbe had already pledged allegiance to Luo Xing long ago.

Now he has also pledged allegiance.

They, who used to call Bai Huzi "Father," never expected to be in the same camp again so quickly.

The ways of the world are truly wonderful.

None of the Whitebeard Pirates' division captains had any objections.

Luo Xing then took out the Anywhere Door.

Jinbe, who had returned to Fish-Man Island after the Sabaody Archipelago battle, had just sent over the location information of Fish-Man Island yesterday.

The Anywhere Door can now lead directly to Fish-Man Island.

Even without Ma Erke and others, Luo Xing had planned to go to Fish-Man Island as soon as possible.

Bringing Fish-Man Island completely under the Beasts Pirates' sphere of influence is secondary,

the main purpose is to discuss the biological issue of cross-species reproduction with the mermaid Princess Bai Xing.

This is a question Luo Xing has pondered for quite a while without fully understanding it; he must practice it personally.

248 The balance between the Marines, the Seven Warlords, and the Four Emperors is broken! The future of Fish-Man Island

Fish-Man Island sits ten thousand li beneath the seabed.

Directly above it lies the Red Line.

Above the Red Line is the Holy Land Mary Geoise.

One is above, the other is below.

The Celestial Dragons living above and the fish-men below naturally have completely opposite fates.

Because fish-men are born with immense strength, the Celestial Dragons, as well as royal families of various nations and those great figures, all like to capture fish-men to be slaves.

To serve as their laborers.

And the mermaids corresponding to the fish-men, because of their beautiful appearance,

especially their shimmering, phosphorescent beautiful fish tails, attract the covetous hearts of countless people.

The popularity of mermaid slaves is even more intense than that of fish-men.

Previously, at the slave auction house in Sabaody Archipelago belonging to Doflamingo,

a tiny mermaid named Amy was sold for the high price of five hundred million Berries.

Enough to match a powerful pirate captain in the New World!

The value of mermaids can be seen from this.

The darkness caused by profit inevitably spread to the head of Fish-Man Island.

Mermaids and fish-men were frantically plundered and slaughtered, and were regarded as slaves by humans!

This tragic fate caused the fish-man race to harbor extreme hatred towards humans for hundreds of years.

Until Queen Otohime, that is, the mother of the mermaid Princess Gu Ji, appeared.

She was the first to call for fish-men and humans to coexist in peace.

But her end was very tragic.

How can the hatred and estrangement between fish-men and humans be removed so easily?

As long as this world is still ruled by the Celestial Dragons, and countless pirates still run rampant,

the possibility of fish-men and humans coexisting in peace simply does not exist.

They will only be regarded by humans as commodities that can be bought and sold for money, and only be regarded by the Celestial Dragons as rare slaves!

King Neptune of Fish-Man Island, after Queen Otohime's death, recognized this reality.

He no longer held any illusory expectations for the world.

He only trusted a few humans he knew well, such as Luo Jie and Bai Huzi.

Because these two, the world's strongest pirates, had both protected Fish-Man Island.

This made the pirates heading to the New World, who must pass through Fish-Man Island, restrain their arrogance out of Gu Ji.

But Luo Jie died young, and Bai Huzi is also dead.

Who else can protect Fish-Man Island now?

Neptune sighed deeply.

Before Bai Huzi went to Marineford, he had once had a conversation with him.

Bai Huzi sensed at that time that his end was near, and asked Neptune to make early plans for Fish-Man Island.

Neptune knew that after Bai Huzi's death, he must pledge allegiance to a new Four Emperor to serve as Fish-Man Island's protector.

But who should he pledge allegiance to?

Rationally speaking,

Pledging allegiance to Red-Haired Shanks is the best choice.

After all, Red-Hair was once an intern on Luo Jie's ship, and had met Neptune many years ago.

But unfortunately,

Red-Hair had only risen to become one of the Four Emperors in recent years,

his seniority was far inferior to Kaido and Big Mom, who had been Four Emperors for decades, let alone Bai Huzi.

Among the Four Emperors,

his territory was the smallest.

Moreover, it was located deep within the New World, very far from Fish-Man Island at the entrance to the New World.

If any danger were to befall Fish-Man Island, Red-Hair would be unable to reach it in time.

For the future of Fish-Man Island, Neptune could not possibly throw in his lot with the Red-Hair Pirates.

Once the Red-Hair Pirates were ruled out,

Neptune had only one choice left — the Beasts Pirates!

Why not the Big Mom Pirates, as in the original?

The reason was,

in the original, the Beasts Pirates had been holed up in Wano Country all along.

They were also quite far from Fish-Man Island.

In terms of geography and the reach of their power, they were both inferior to the Big Mom Pirates.

Big Mom, who fell ill at the drop of a hat, might not be all that bright.

But the Whole Cake Island under her jurisdiction was extremely prosperous.

Moreover, Big Mom was vengeful, petty-minded, and especially fond of killing.

Whoever dared to offend her, even if they were at the ends of the earth,

Big Mom would immediately dispatch a terrifying army to hunt them down to the very end!

It could be said,

Big Mom was not the strongest among the Four Emperors, but she was absolutely the most terrifying and the one you could least afford to provoke.

For the territories under the Big Mom Pirates' banner, this was more or less a benefit as well.

Therefore,

in the original, Neptune chose to throw in his lot with the Big Mom Pirates.

The Sun Pirates, led by Jinbe, also joined the Big Mom Pirates.

However,

in this plane, due to Luo Xing's influence,

the Beasts Pirates' territory had expanded several dozen times over,
