760 The old dragon king opens the door! (7200 words)
"Long time no see! Kemi!"
Luffy, Nami and others waved happily on the coated boat and said happily, "I bumped into you directly, what a blessing!"
After recognizing clearly that it was Lynch, Robin, Luffy and others, Cammy recovered from her panic, smiled and said, "Long time no see."
"They are my good friends. We used to work together in the Mermaid Cafe." Kemi introduced the quintuplet little mermaids to everyone.
Hearing the name of the Mermaid Cafe, Sanji and Brooke naturally began to daydream, but Lynch's heart moved. They "used to" work together? Hey, are they unemployed?
The little mermaids of the quintuplets said one after another as if they were counting in military training: "I am the first medaka. I am the second medaka. I am the third medaka. I am the fourth medaka. I am the number 2 of the four medaka!"
"Why not Killerfish!" Usopp and Chopper raised their hands and complained.
"Hehehe..." Cammy chuckled, "People often say that!"
"You said we were colleagues before. In other words, did you lose your job?" Robin said to himself, "Could it be that after returning from the human world a year ago, he was ostracized by his companions on Fish-Man Island, so he couldn't find it?
Working, I can only make a living by picking up garbage on the dark seabed around this place. In the end, I will be destitute and can only be reduced to a few mermaid bones in the sand of the seabed..."
Nami, Usopp, Chopper, and Merry were all frightened into emoticons. Robin, why did you say such a terrifying guess with such a calm look on your face!
"Not at all," Kemi sweated, forced a smile, and sighed, "Because a few days ago, powerful pirates invaded Fish-Man Island, which was really scary, so some residents temporarily left Fish-Man Island and now live in
In other places."
"That's right, he's a pirate, and he has a white beard!" said the red-haired First Killerfish. "There is a white beard." The blond Second Killerfish nodded. "There is no white beard!" The orange-haired Third Killerfish retorted. "It should be.
You have a white beard, right?" said the pink-haired Siji Rourou. "So what if I have a white beard?" The brown-black-haired Siji No. 2 continued to argue.
White beard?!
Luffy and the others were obviously shocked. They saw the body of Father Whitebeard being taken away by Ace and others a year ago!
Is it Bai II? Lin Qi thought to himself, Bai II didn't follow his old woman to become a Shichibukai and come here to cause harm to Fishman Island?
He remembered the broken wooden planks of the Big Mom Pirates' Homitz ship he encountered on the way...
Once Whitebeard died, the territory he once commanded, including Fish-Man Island, was in real trouble. Fortunately, Ace and Marco were still supporting the new Whitebeard Pirates who insisted on not disbanding.
"Come with me first..." Kemi and the others swam in front of the Lion Head Pirate Ship and led the way, "If you want to go to Fish-Man Island, I can take you there later."
Frankie turned on the bow searchlight, and the light formed two divergent light paths in the water.
"However, generally when the fish-men's pirate ships arrive at the bottom of the sea, they are usually very close to the fish-men island..."
Kemi's voice in front made Zoro shake his head and sigh: "There is no way, they are so unreliable that they got lost at the bottom of the sea."
Many fists hit his face at the same time, causing it to become deformed.
"Hehehe..."
There was a lot of joy on the boat, with six mermaids, one big, five small and six small, swimming in the light and shadow in front of them. Around them, there was the powerful and low sound of the sea currents and the melodious roar of whales as Rab's huge body swam by. Everything was like a dream.
…
Soon, Sonny and Labu followed the mermaids who led the way and arrived at a town on the bottom of the sea.
"Is this Fishman Street?"
Lin Qi stepped on the side of the ship and glanced around. The sparse underwater houses formed a small village, and fish and mermaids of different shapes appeared in the streets and alleys.
However, he did not find the ship "Noah" as big as a mountain.
Kemi said in surprise: "Lin Qi, do you know Fishman Street? However, this is not..."
With the mermaid's explanation, everyone had a close understanding of the culture of the seabed for the first time.
Obviously, the Fish-Man Island, which is built in the Yangshu Eve and can enjoy the warm sunshine and fresh air sent to the seabed by the Yangshu, is the center of the entire underwater civilization and the most dazzling orb and lighthouse.
In other words, not all fishmen and mermaids live on Fishman Island.
After all, undersea races have thrived and existed for countless years. How could a small island in such a not-so-huge bubble be able to accommodate them all?
There are also many fish-men living in other places under the sea.
However, the closer you get to Fishman Island, the higher the level of socialization.
After all, the ocean is too big, and most of the fish-men are like wild animals, roaming freely and living under the sea. Only in the circles close to the fish-man island can basic underwater villages be formed unconsciously.
, and "Yumman Street" is the most famous among these surrounding underwater villages. After all, Fishman Street is "full of martial virtues", and there are often brave residents who join the Kingdom's army on Fishman Island, and they have become famous ever since.
Fish leap over the dragon gate and the like. Ordinary fishmen in underwater villages live a Buddhist life, occasionally picking up some items from human society that have sunk to the bottom of the sea to cultivate their sentiments...
or……
Go to work on Fishman Island.
Looking at the back of Kemi who was swimming to the underwater village to greet acquaintances, Sanji, Brooke and others felt quite complicated. Kemi had been on the boat for a while before, and they had already seen a little bit about human beings' discrimination against mermaids. And
This pure underwater world of Fishman Island does not seem to be a real fairy tale world. It is not as dreamlike as imagined before.
Lin Qi was a little curious, was Kemi a girl from the city who was dragged away to the village, or a young girl who went to work in the city and was finally dragged back?
"Don't make random assumptions." Robin patted Lynch on the arm.
Are you serious? Lynch turned to stare at her, Comrade Robin, you are the only one who has no right to criticize me in this regard, right?
Robin blinked at him innocently, expressing confusion.
Not long after, Kemi swam back again and waved: "Let's go, Fish-Man Island is not too far away."
Sanji discovered that the quintuplet little mermaids had no intention of going together.
"Rabu, your body is too big to enter the Fish-Man Island." Kemi shouted to Labu in a distant voice, "Just let the first killifish, the second killifish, the third killifish, the fourth killifish and the fourth killifish number two
Let’s take you to play around under the sea.”
"Let's play! Play. If you don't want to play, you can play, right? Play, so what?"
The quintuplet little mermaids chattered at each other again, and Labu swam happily in the sea. The quintuplet little mermaids swam as fast as five torpedoes side by side, and they played with Labu, the huge island whale.
Complement each other interestingly.
"Speaking of which, Rab is a whale, right?"
On the Sunny, which left with Kemi, Usopp sighed, "It's amazing to be able to stay in the deep sea for so long!"
"There are a lot of whales over there, too." Chopper pointed in another direction, and sure enough, there were dozens of large whales that looked like sperm whales swimming by slowly.
Lynch and Robin were at the stern of the boat, looking at the underwater village where Kemi and the others lived gradually going away.
"What's wrong?" Sanji passed by carrying a drink he had just made.
Lin Qi said: "In that village, we didn't see many children."
Sanji smiled and said: "Maybe we went out to play, after all, the seabed is so big. Isn't that what Ichiko and the others are like?"
"Maybe." Robin said, took Sanji's new drink, drank a few sips, drank half of it and couldn't finish it, and handed it to Lynch to destroy.
…
"We're here. There's Fish-Man Island ahead."
Led by the mermaid, the film-coated Sonny slowly stopped outside a huge bubble ball. It seemed like a huge landscape ball, with diffused colors in the stripes of the Sun Tree Eve that went straight to the bottom of the sea on both sides.
Under the sunlight, the scenery on Fishman Island looks like a dream. It is a double-layered ball structure. On top of the huge main bubble, there is a much smaller bubble, and you can vaguely see a bubble inside.
building.
Of course Lin Qi knew that that was where the royal palace of Fish-Man Island was located. The official name of the Fish-Man Kingdom was Dragon Palace Palace, so it was naturally called Dragon Palace.
Kemi led everyone to the passageway directly in front of the Fishman Island, which is equivalent to the port of the human island.
Ding~dong
Kemi pressed the button at the entrance of the passage, like a doorbell, and soon a gruff voice asked: "Who is it?"
"I am the mermaid Kemi from the Mermaid Cafe..." Kemi said a little nervously, "The Straw Hat Pirates are going to enter the new world through here and apply to enter Fish-Man Island..."
"'Straw Hat Pirates'? That sounds familiar...wait a minute!"
"Wait a minute, this matter is important, we need to ask the king for instructions..."
Kemi was negotiating at the front, and the group on the Sonny was a little idle.
Usopp muttered: "Ryuugu Palace is a franchised country, right? We are pirates, can we enter after saying hello like this? It's really strange..."
"That's right!" Chopper was shocked, "We are pirates! There won't be any navy out there to catch us, right?"
Franky said: "Don't worry, there is no navy stationed on Fish-Man Island. Even with the navy's technology, it still depends on luck if you want to arrive at Fish-Man Island safely every time!"
Zoro smiled and said: "It has become a routine for pirates to go to the new world through Fish-Man Island. Can the navy handle it?"
"Idiot, the ocean is 10,000 meters deep. The navy can't control it even if it wants to." Sanji lit up his cigarette and complained.
"..."
Lynch folded his arms and stood side by side with Robin next to him.
"As an adult on the ship, you can't let your guard down casually."
The two of them quietly stared at the "big landscape ball" under the bright sunshine in front of them.
After waiting for a long time, there was no new response from the guards of the Dragon Palace opposite the entrance of the passage.
Kemi swam back and signaled everyone to wait.
"You don't have to go through the front door, right?" Nami said with a smile, "We are pirates!"
Kemi smiled bitterly and reminded: "The bubbles on Fish-Man Island have two layers, the inner and the outer. When passing through the surface bubble, the coating on the ship will be absorbed. The middle was complete air, and the other side of the inner layer was sea water.
…”
Obviously, this design is to prevent illegal entry of pirates.
However, this was not taken seriously by Franky. He put on his sunglasses and said with a smile: "It's no joke! Just one blast of wind can directly break through the two layers of bubbles, making the Sonny rocket like a rocket."
Go in."
"Where is the sea water?" Kemi reminded again, "There are many Devil Fruit users on board, right?"
"About this, Kemi, you don't have to worry~" Nami blinked and smiled confidently.
Usopp complained at the side, "Why are you so confident? Isn't it the result of Franky?"
Nami slammed the golden staff on Usopp's head, "The achievements of my partners are my achievements!"
"Luffy, you're a bit quiet."
When Nami and Franky were getting ready to break into the outer bubble membrane of Fish-Man Island, Sanji blew out a puff of smoke, which also attracted everyone's attention to Luffy's unusual quietness. They saw him looking up at Fish-Man Island.
The small bubble on top of the bubble, I heard Kemi said that is where the Royal Dragon Palace is located?
"It's like floating in the sky above everyone's heads..." Luffy said to himself, pressed his straw hat, slumped his face, and said, "How annoying!"
This high profile reminded him of the royal family of the Kingdom of Goa when he was a child, which also had a high royal city.
"What did you say about the hometown of the mermaid ladies!"
Sanji, Brook and the others began to care deeply for Luffy. If you are hated by the mermaid ladies, it will be a lifelong regret. We cannot forgive you!
"Anyway, it's time to start!" Franky said with a smile, "Kemi, the interlayer is made of air, but with the swimming speed of the mermaid, you can rush directly into the inner layer, right?"
"Hmm..." Cammy nodded.
"The wind is coming!"
Following Franky's passionate shouting, the Sunny's stern made a "boom" sound, and a large wave erupted like an explosion, pushing the entire pirate ship towards the Fishman Island Bubble.
Whoosh! Mermaid Kemi followed closely and pierced the outer membrane of the bubble of Fish-Man Island like an underwater missile.
A burst of wind caused the entire ship's coating to deflate, pressing on everyone on the deck. But soon the Sonny rushed into the outer film, and the coating on the ship was sucked away. The Sonny rushed through with inertia.
The Vice Admiral's air layer crashed into the inner bubble film of Fish-Man Island. After rushing in, the entire ship plunged into the sea of Fish-Man Island.
call out……
Kemi followed closely behind, jumping into the bubble membrane inside the Fish-Man Island like a needle, and swam into the sea. When he turned around, he saw everyone on the Sonny ship.
Lynch didn't change much. The current caused the ship's hull to sway constantly, but his feet stood firmly on the deck.
At the same time, the green and black iron rod stood beside him like a nail. Robin... Hey, was Robin "swollen"? Cammy blinked and saw Robin holding the green and black iron rod to steady his body.
Not only is she "fat", but the lower half of her face is covered with some kind of silver-white device, and there are two pipes connected to the left and right extending to her back, seemingly connected to her belt.
Nami, Usopp, Chopper, and Sanji, but their styles are even more different. At this moment, they are actually wearing orange, brown, pink, and blue armor-like shells.
On both sides of their mouths and visors, there are pipes similar to Robin's connected to their backs and waists, and in the middle of their belts, there are patterns of oranges, slingshots, pills, and tableware...
【"finished!"】
[A few months ago, on the small sky island of Visalia, Franky proudly took out several belts of different colors, "As the great inventor on the ship, it is true that this kind of thing can only be done by me.
”]
[Usopp picked up the brown one and said, "You want to give us belts? Franky, what a surprise!"]
["Good taste." Nami was a little disgusted. 】
["Although I don't need it, I think I can guess what it is used for..." Lin Qi picked up one of the belts and threw it into the sea of clouds not far away. Everyone was stunned.
After the belt was completely immersed in the water, it instantly expanded and deformed, extending out pieces of armor-like parts...]
["This is so handsome!!!!" Luffy, Usopp, and Chopper drooled, and rushed towards him with shining eyes. 】
[Frankie said proudly: "With the addition of Frankie's alloy, and a little purchased 'super buoyancy wood', it is completely integrated with the ability to swallow fruits. It is specially created for the landlubbers on the ship!"]
The shape of this armor... looks like Hei Zai...
Kemi was stunned for a moment.
As for the others, Sauron, like Lynch, did not have a battle armor on his body. His cheeks were bulging as if he had taken a big gulp of air in advance and was holding his breath in the water. Franky was a transformer and a fruit-swallowing user who transformed himself.
It’s even more convenient. Who knows if he added a self-oxygenating circulation system to his perverted body... And Meili doesn’t need to worry. It is a spirit body. Even if it is in the sea and cannot use the mirror fruit ability, it is okay.
Dangerous. It doesn’t need to breathe!
Speaking of ghosts... When Kemi looked at Mr. Skeleton Brooke, he was even more shocked and suspected that he had seen it wrong. Around the white bones floating in the water, there seemed to be a green figure grabbing Brooke's bones. He was originally a corpse, and the same
No need to breathe!
By the way, Luffy...
Where's Luffy?
Brook, Usopp, Sanji and others soon found Luffy drifting in the water, but they couldn't help but see a black line.
This idiot really forgot to change into the special belt made by Franky!
Snoring, the water flowed by quickly. Lynch gave everyone a thumbs up, pointed to the water above, and swam towards the drowned Luffy.
…
"Wow!"
The Sonny and the others emerged from the sea one after another and arrived at the Mermaid Bay of Fish-Man Island.
Seeing the sudden appearance of the pirate ship and these neatly armored guys, the nearby murlocs and mermaids were startled and looked over dumbfounded, and soon discovered the mermaid Kemi among them.
"Chopper, did you see it? He's so handsome!"
"I'm handsome too, Usopp!"
"Humph, you two are far apart..."
The three men in brown, pink and blue armors were happily having fun after they landed ashore. A young woman's sigh came from the man in orange armor next to him, "What's so cool about this? I envy Sister Robin even more.
No need to wear such strange 'clothes'..."
Robin passed by, and the breathing mask quickly retracted automatically after it was separated from the immersed environment, and all the devices mixed with French alloy were retracted into Robin's modified belt.
On Robin's body, a layer of fine petals lifted off and fluttered down at her feet.
Kemi hugged Meili, who had recovered from the depression, and turned to look into the water. With a splash, Zoro and Lynch broke through the water one after another, and boarded the shore one on the left and the other on the right.
Zoro took off his soaked shirt.
Luffy, who had drank a lot of water, was hanging on Lynch's shoulders like clothes.
Wow! Zoro squeezed out the water from his shirt.
Wow! Lynch is also screwed.
"Huh? What's the matter?" Zoro noticed that the others were looking at him with their mouths wide open, "If your clothes get wet, squeeze them dry..."
"I'm not looking at you!" Nami, Sanji, Usopp, and Chopper waved their hands in unison.
It turned out to be Lynch next to Zoro. He grabbed Luffy with his big hands and twisted out all the water in the rubber man's drunken belly like he was twisting his clothes.
…
Luffy woke up faintly, and soon looked like he had been hit hard. He knelt down and beat the ground in frustration, saying sadly: "I'm so envious, you guys put on the 'Transformation Armor'..."
"Is this what you care about when you wake up after almost dying?!" Nami pointed her teeth and went directly for electrotherapy. When she looked back, Usopp, Chopper, Sanji and the others were touching their chins, and they actually...
With a proud look like "Humph, Luffy, you've suffered a big loss, who told you to forget to wear a belt?", he couldn't help but feel a headache and sighed, "Men are really a bunch of idiots...right, Sister Robin?"
"Huh?" Robin turned around and smiled, "Not entirely."
Nami burst into tears, "Having true love is so enviable!"
"Is this the legendary dreamy bay filled with mermaids? It's so lucky."
Sanji's intoxicated voice seemed to scare away the passing fishmen. Usopp woke him up with a blow from his hand, "Wake up, there are not mermaids everywhere here. Many mermaids, like Kemi, left temporarily.
Is it Fish-Man Island? And you see..." Usopp pointed to the nearby towns, "Many places have traces of battles, and they have not been completely repaired."
Kemi was in a low mood. Everyone thought of the pirate she mentioned who was driven away and called himself Whitebeard II. They felt a little pity. If they had come a few days earlier, they might have been able to help!
"I plan to take the Sonny to find Master Tom's brother."
On the Sonny, Franky said, "If he is still on Fish-Man Island, he should be able to help us coat Sonny again."
"What about us?" Usopp asked, "I wonder how many days it will take for the record pointer of Fish-Man Island to..."
"Anyway, let's go eat first!" Luffy regained his composure, his nose twitched and he drooled, "I wonder what delicious food there is in Fish-Man Island..."
Kemi said: "As for the restaurant, there is one nearby..."
Nami patted the wet clothes on her body and said, "I want to go buy some new clothes...Kemi, there should be a shopping street here, right?"
"Yes..." Cammy nodded.
"Sister Robin, let's go together?" Nami turned her head.
Robin unfolded a map, put on his sunglasses and smiled: "No, I feel like I want to explore an island with such a long history."
Where did you get the map? Nami was ashamed and asked Lin Qi if she wanted to come with her.
Robin couldn't help but laugh and said: "He? There is a place that attracts him more than shopping."
Where?
Nami had a question mark on her head, while Lynch smiled and asked Zoro, pointing to the sky, "Dragon Palace, there must be many rare things, and maybe there is a century-old wine. Do you want to go and have a look together?"
"It's a good wine, of course I have to check it out." Zoro nodded with a smile.
So, the group of people temporarily disbanded. Lynch and Sauron teamed up to go to the Dragon Palace in the sky; Robin wanted to find the historical text that might exist; Nami went shopping and hooked up with Chopper, and Brooke also shamelessly hung out.
Entering, Merry sat on Chopper's head and rested on his two antlers; Usopp was shocked because Sanji didn't follow Nami or Robin shamelessly, but went to eat with him and Luffy.
When Usopp saw Kemi leading the way to the restaurant, he suddenly realized. He is still obsessed with the mermaids!
…
Bang! Bang! Bang!
In the streets and alleys, the murlocs couldn't help but raise their heads when they heard strange and dense sounds, and saw two figures that seemed to be rising from the sky.
Lin Qi and Sauron stepped on the moon steps, soared into the air quickly, and soon arrived under the bubble film on the main island of Fish-Man Island. With their feet strong, they passed through the bubble film left and right, and soon entered the small bubble where the Dragon Palace is located.
Inside the bubble.
The simple and solemn Dragon Palace has a lifelike dragon sculpture on the roof. Together with the fish swimming around in the sea, it really looks like a living dormant dragon.
However, for Lynch and Sauron, who had seen a real dragon like Ayu, this dragon sculpture was not that interesting.
"Old Dragon King! Are you at home?"
Lin Qi grabbed the green and black iron rod in one hand, banged it on the ground a few times, stood in front of the Dragon Palace gate and shouted, "Come out! Robbery!!!"
Zoro also found it amusing, and he smiled a sinister smile in cooperation, and pulled out the word "Wado" from his waist a few inches.
Scared to death!
When the people in the Dragon Palace saw who was calling the door outside the palace, they were so frightened that they almost trembled all over.
Soon, the Dragon Palace gate opens...
Of course, there is a big pirate with a bounty of 5 billion, and there is also a 430 million pirate next to him!
These two heavyweights are knocking on the door, who dares not to open it?
The main door of the palace opened, and King Neptune asked with a gloomy face: "The 'Ripple Messenger' is coming to Fish-Man Island. What advice can you give me?"
Lin Qi leaned on the stick and said with a smile: "I've heard about my virtuous neighbor for a long time...I forgot about it later! Old Dragon King, do you have any wine?"
"I'm a mermaid." Neptune breathed a sigh of relief and said with a stern face, "If it's just wine..."
"Wine is enough." Sauron chuckled and strode into the Dragon Palace.
"It doesn't matter." Lin Qi held the green and black iron rod in one hand and held Neptune's shoulder in the other. He said with a smile, "Such a big dragon palace, there are a lot of treasures, right? It must be full of dazzling things, everything. Brother, recently
We are short of outfit, Old Dragon King, take a look..."
"I am a mermaid." Neptune said calmly.
…
〖Fishman Island, Shopping Street〗
In the clothing store, Brooke chose a suit that was as coquettish as a concert costume. Chopper tried on a children's clothing with glittering decorations and looked left and right in the mirror.
Merry sat on top of the reindeer, holding a small mirror.
In the mirror, a pitch-black armor sat cross-legged in the mirror world. Above its head was a cloud of colorful miscellaneous gas, and at the bottom was pure gray aura, which was integrated into the body of the armor.
There is only one third of the energy ball left, which is being refined bit by bit by "B.I.B" all the time.
【"Take good care of me, Meili."】
[Before setting off, Lynch put the avatar into the mirror world, handed the corresponding mirror to Meili for safekeeping, and rubbed its ghostly little head. ]
Merry cheered up and stood above Chopper, guarding the mirror majestically. Then she noticed that Nami, who was choosing clothes with the help of the mermaid waiter in the store, seemed a little absent-minded.
This doesn’t look like Nami!
Brooke and Chopper were also very surprised when they found out.
"I just suddenly remembered what Lynch and Sister Robin said before..." Nami looked at the street scene of Fishman Island outside the store and murmured to herself, "It seems that I really didn't see any fishmen or mermaids.
child!"
Huh? Brooke looked at the mermaid waiter with her dark skull eyes, her smile seemed a little forced.
Suddenly, Nami's face suddenly changed, as if she heard something in her heart!
