Chapter 26

At this time, Lei Li was a little confused. He went out to gamble for a few times. It was getting dark and he went home for dinner. Why was his bar changed to someone else? Where was Xia Qi? I became a little wary.

"Um, don't get me wrong. Sister Xia Qi took my sister out shopping. She left the bar to me and left. By the way, uncle, do you have anything to eat? I haven't eaten after working all day."

Seeing Noah helpless and speechless, Rayleigh felt a little guilty. Xia Qi could indeed do such a thing. But he just went home to eat, so there was no food for Noah to eat.

This is embarrassing. The right hand of a pirate king, a very evil ghost. Stumped by a meal. In the end, Noah paid for it and asked Reilly to buy two meals. Having this meal together at the bar, we had an inexplicable feeling of comradeship, which was also strange.

After the meal, Noah handed Kurokas' letter to Rayleigh. Reilly thought about it after reading it.

"Brother, how do you and Kurokas know each other? That guy is a lighthouse watcher. You quite believe what he says."

"I accidentally rescued an afro crew member of the Lumba Pirates and sent him to Twin Capes to reunite with Labu. I met Uncle Kurokas at that time."

It turns out that the reason why Kurokas boarded the ship at that time was to follow Roger all over the sea to find the Lombard pirate ship. However, he couldn't find it until Rafdru. He didn't expect that he would be found by this little brother.

"Oh, it's just a coating, right? Why do you have to find me?"

"Because I can trust it. I have to go down 10,000 meters to the bottom of the sea. I don't feel at ease if I don't have reliable people. I still cherish my life."

"Hahaha, little brother, you can't develop your strength without sacrificing your life. But you still have to give Kurokas the face. I'll take this job and finish it in a week. As for the price..."

"Whatever the price is, I won't charge you any money this time, just treat it as a gift to little Robin."

Shaki pulled Robin in. Also carrying large and small bags. The powerful people on the sea have more bags than normal people. But Noah thought that the money he gave should be more than just buying these things. Could it be that this woman Xia Qi has changed her gender?

"There are still a lot of things I'll ask the store to deliver to the store tomorrow."

Well, yes, that's right.

Lei Li had no other choice but to obey Xia Qi's decision. He originally wanted to make some private money. What a pity for such a rich man.

Chapter 35 Coming to Fish-Man Island

Xia Qirelli knew Noah's identity and didn't pay much attention to it. He had seen a lot of big pirates. They also knew that Noah must also know the identity of Rayleigh's former Pirate King captain, but Noah did not reveal it, and they happily pretended to be confused.

Coming to the Shampoo Islands to live in seclusion is their attitude towards life. Unless they are the children of destiny, they will not take the initiative to help if they are used to seeing darkness.

Noah didn’t want to point this out and that’s what he meant. Moreover, there is no place for pirates in the new world planned by Noah. All pirates will be swept into the garbage dump of history. This may conflict with Rayleigh's position on one point.

The next week was actually really peaceful. Rayleigh went to Port 59 to coat Noah's boat. Xia Qi took Robin around the Chambord Islands every day, and Noah turned into a bartender. Working part-time at a rip-off bar.

Only two groups of customers came in the whole week, and they were all here for private arms transactions. They paid a large sum of venue fees and drink fees and just let Noah stay quietly behind the bar. It seems that Xia Qi’s place The bar business is quite extensive.

A week later, the ship's coating was completed and it was ready to set off. However, it was said that something happened in Mariejoia and martial law was imposed in the surrounding waters. It took another three days before release was allowed.

At Port 59, Xia Qi and Lei Li came to see Noah off. Robin held Xia Qi reluctantly for a while. This woman who gave her motherly love for a few short days left a deep mark on Robin's life.

The Voyager left the port and headed towards the deep ocean current range leading to Fish-Man Island. After getting away from the Shampoo Islands, Noah and the others suddenly saw a red figure floating on the sea in the distance.

When I pulled the boat over, I saw a humanoid creature floating on the water. It was not dead yet, but it was bleeding a lot. Some predatory fish were surrounding the figure and biting it.

He rescued the other party with a mentality of not taking it lightly, and Noah took a look. What a big man, more than 5 meters tall, as red as a snapper, and with the "Hoof of the Sky Dragon" seal, the mark of a Celestial Dragon slave, on his body. He turned out to be Fisher Tiger. No wonder the Shampoo Islands were under martial law before. It seems It was he who escaped.

This is the great hero in One Piece.

Yes, in Noah's view, there are many heroes in the world of One Piece, but there are only a handful of people who can be called heroes. The four emperors and three generals, Shichibukai and his ilk, are all considered heroes of the sea. Even if Whitebeard is the strongest man in the world, in Noah's eyes, he is just a great hero among pirates.

Fisher Tiger can be called a hero. If you show off your intelligence, you are called a hero; if you are courageous, you are called a hero. Heroes are not based on force, but on personal qualities.

In terms of force, Fisher Tiger is not the best, but in terms of courage, no one can compare. His will is even more indomitable. During the trip, he was caught by a slave team and sold to the Celestial Dragons. After being tortured for three years in Mariegio, he never gave up his will to escape. He finally seized the opportunity to escape a few days ago. After that, he climbed up to the Red Earth Continent alone, wreaked havoc in the Holy Land, and liberated Slaves of various races in Mariejoia.

Such characters are still worthy of admiration. Although Fisher Tiger has not yet done these things at this time, Noah, who has opened the perspective of God, naturally knows.

His wounds were treated and bandaged, nutrient solution was administered, and then he was put into the cargo hold and hid. At this time, there should be people from the World Government searching for Fisher Tiger in the surrounding waters. Be careful and just get to Fish-Man Island.

Sure enough, they encountered a wave of guards from Mariejoia during the march. The other party wanted to board Noah's ship to search, but Noah did not tolerate them. These scum are just pretending to be powerful. Without the Tianlong people to follow, they have no law enforcement power at all. As for trying to force him to board the ship...he is now the vengeful swordsman Noah.

A group of Celestial Dragon bastards were wiped out with one sword, and all the opponents including their ships and people were humanely destroyed.

after one day

"ah!"

Fisher Tiger woke up from his nightmare, turned over and sat up, looked at his body and then around. There are no shackles on the body, and the wounds have been treated and bandaged. It is surrounded by ordinary cargo holds, and the door is also an ordinary wooden door.

He fumbled to open the door of the cargo hold, bent down and walked onto the deck step by step. I saw the clear and high sky, the endless sea, and the seabirds flying freely. This is freedom, Fisher Tiger stood there blankly.

"Want to come get something to eat?"

A young man's greeting woke up Fisher Tiger, and he saw a young man walking over with a dinner plate, several large pieces of bread, an oversized portion of barbecue, and a large glass of rum.

Tiger thought for a moment and felt that there was no harm in it. Anyway, let’s eat first. When the Tianlong people were torturing him, they hadn't given him a full meal in three years. I grabbed the barbecue and bread and devoured them for a while.

Fisher Tiger gave Noah a very formal gift, saying that he could never repay his life-saving grace. But his current identity will bring danger to Noah and the others, so he plans to escape alone. If he doesn't die, he will definitely come to repay his kindness in the future.

"Are you referring to the bastards of the Celestial Dragons? They were all fed to the Sea Kings by Shen Hai."

"May I ask you are?"

"My name is Noah, and at this time my sister Robin is considered an Avenger from O'Hara."

O'Hara, the well-known traveler among the fishmen still knows that this person is really at odds with the world government. In terms of trouble, Fisher Tiger doesn't think his troubles will be bigger than the two in front of him.

"Oh, by the way, I also have a status as a writer, Adam, have you heard of it?"

Fisher Tiger is Noah's next target, and the fishman's identity and previous experience are very trustworthy, so there is no need to conceal his identity.

"A~Dang~!"

Obviously, Adam's identity is obviously more famous than Noah's identity. Even when he was captured by the Celestial Dragons as a slave, Tiger had heard of Adam's name. Those Draco people sometimes discuss Adam's works. Of course, the Celestial Dragon brains still can't understand "Water Margin", they just simply like the novelty style in "Jojo's Bizarre Adventure".

"Yes, this time I am going to Fish-Man Island to collect news, so I can take you back on the way."

"Then I can't thank you enough. When we get to Fish-Man Island, I will definitely give you two the highest courtesy."

Robin was still very interested in the living habits and history of the fishmen. After Noah finished chatting, he started asking Tiger questions. Although Fisher Tiger is the boss of Fishman Street and seems to be a gangster leader, he is still very cultured. Traveling independently in the world requires a certain amount of cultural support.

Noah is not in a hurry to spread fire at this time. At this time, Tiger had just escaped from Mariejoia. Although his heart was full of anger, he did not yet have the mental consciousness to liberate the slaves. In the original work, after meeting Princess Otohime on Fishman Island, she heartily told her experiences and unwillingness. The peaceful life on Fishman Island reminded him of the slave life in Mariejoia, which made him intolerable and finally decided to free the slaves.

Noah has to wait until he reaches Fish-Man Island and waits for Fisher Tiger to communicate with Princess Otohime before passing on the fire. Tiger himself has the fire of thought and awareness, and he only needs to be guided in the right direction to succeed.

Finally we reached the deep ocean current area. Noah controlled the ship to vortex the ocean current, and was sucked in little by little. It completely sank into the sea, and the coating around the ship blocked the entry of seawater. Only oxygen could enter. It was really magical.

The Voyager floated along the ocean current and continued to dive at a very stable speed. The sea water changes from blue to dark blue and finally to black. This is the phenomenon that the deeper the sea water, the less light there is. In the world of One Piece, there are many fish in the deep sea. But most of them look weird, and occasionally there are super-large sea kings swimming past.

This magnificent scene deep in the sea can only be seen in this magical world. Noah and Robin stood on the deck and looked at the surrounding scenery curiously.

Fisher Tiger, on the other hand, has seen too much and feels nothing. On the contrary, the emotion of returning home is stirring. Traveled abroad for many years. Finally back.

I don’t know how long it took, but Fishman Island arrived. A huge island in the deep sea, an extremely beautiful dream island. The entire island is wrapped in a huge bubble, which contains the sunlight shed by the Eve of the Sun Tree, like a pearl in the deep black sea.

Before reaching Fish-Man Island, the Voyager changes form, and now it's time for the vengeful swordsman Noah to take the stage.

Passing the right current, the ship came to rest in the harbor.

Fishman Island has arrived.

Chapter 36 Become famous in Fishman Street

"I'm back!"

Fisher Tiger finally returned to his hometown. This heroic man could not control his joy and jumped off the boat excitedly.

This time, the journey home was extremely difficult. I returned to Fish-Man Island with humiliation, anger, and scars all over my body.

As a well-known traveler on Fish-Man Island, he is the boss of Fish-Man Street. He has supreme prestige and fame on Fish-Man Island. There is no fisherman working in the port who does not know Brother Tiger.

"Brother Tiger is back~~~~~~~"

A shout made the whole area boil, and the fish people gathered around.

"Brother Tiger, we have been traveling there this time. Is the adventure exciting?"

"Brother Tiger, why are you injured?"

"Brother Tiger..."

A group of fishmen gathered around Tiger and asked them various questions, and Tiger answered everyone one by one. However, he did not say anything about being taken away as a slave. This is the dignity of the eldest brother.

At this time, a group of people rushed from a distance.

"Get out of the way, get out of the way, brother Tiger, we are here to pick you up."

It turns out that Tiger's younger brothers from Fishman Street are here, and the sawtooth shark man at the head is now Aaron, who is still a ferocious-looking young man with a bad temper. Behind him was a fat whale shark man, the younger and more irritable Kaisha Jinbei. Finally, there is an octopus fish-man, Rayleigh's savior, Hachi. Looking at Tiger's younger brothers and Tiger's appearance alone, I feel like this violent gang really doesn't look like good people.

Of these three Tiger brothers, the most promising one was Jinbei. In the early stage, he was a violent palace guard. In the middle stage, he matured and became a Shichibukai to protect Fishman Island. In the later stage, he wildly joined the Straw Hats and fought against the Four Emperors. Very old-school chivalrous.

Xiaoba, the most hopeless one, has no stand of his own and has been following others around without distinguishing between good and evil. Although he finally changed his ways, there is nothing to embellish.

The most useless person is Aaron. Jinbei's comments about Aaron back then were very correct. Aaron was a waste and scum. He only bullies the weak. After the Sun Pirate Ship was disbanded, he abandoned Tiger's ideas like worn-out shoes, but he didn't dare to be a monster on the Grand Line, so he had to go to the East China Sea to cooperate with the scum of the navy and oppress the civilians.

However, Fish-Man Street is the area where the people at the bottom of Fish-Man Island live. If the thinking of the gangsters has not been reformed, fish people like Aaron are normal. The same was true for Hody Jones in the later years.

The ones who are abnormal are Tiger and Jinbe. But these two are not traditional fishmen who grew up in Fishman Street. Tiger is an adventurer and traveler. He has been to many places and has rich experience. After all, reading thousands of books is not as good as traveling thousands of miles. Naturally, he has a good outlook on life.

Jinbe was born in the Ryugu Guards. Although he was violent when he was young, after following Tiger, he was influenced by Tiger's ideas. Although he did not completely inherit his ideas, he still had good ideas. Later, after facing the oppression of the world government, it grew rapidly. It's just that his idea is not justice, but chivalry, and he belongs to the chaotic good camp.

So it would be a good idea to start reforming your thinking from Fishman Street. Although it is confusing, as long as you find the right method, it is a more suitable place for the birth of fire. Noah stood on the edge of the boat, dragging his chin and thinking about this.

At this time, Tiger asked everyone to be quiet, and then turned to look at Noah.

"Mr. Noah, Miss Robin, as I said, when you come to Fish-Man Island, I will definitely entertain you with the highest courtesy to thank you for your life-saving grace. Please get off the boat, and I will show you our best Good food and the best wine.”

The issue of Adam's identity was explained to Tiger on the boat. When he came to Fish-Man Island, he also acted as Adam. It would be best if only Tiger knew this secret. Tiger would not forget this.

Then Tiger turned around, faced the fish people around him and spoke.

"This trip was very long and difficult. I was seriously injured. I thought I would never be able to return to my hometown. It was Mr. Noah who saved me, so everyone, please use your best things to entertain you two. Be your guest!”

"Oh~~!"

The fishmen gathered around Tiger, Noah and others until they walked to Fishman Street. During this period, people kept coming to visit Brother Tiger. As long as he said a word to Tiger, he would be happy for a long time. I really don’t know what the people in Dragon Palace City think about this reputation.

When they arrived at the banquet location, everyone sang and danced, brought out fine wine and food to celebrate the safe return of the Tiger boss, and entertained Noah and Robin with gratitude.

The center of the banquet was Tiger and his friends, and now Tiger was introducing his confidants to Noah one by one. It's hard to say about the others, except Aaron, a saw-tooth shark who seemed reluctant to get to know humans.

Noah found it very interesting to see Aaron like this. Apart from the Celestial Dragons, there were few geniuses in the sea who had no self-awareness. Not to mention that the Celestial Dragons are mentally retarded, no normal intelligent creature would provoke a person who even his own boss needs to treat seriously. Not to mention your strength, why would you take Tiger seriously with your expression like this?

Sure enough, Tiger was a little angry. He praised Haikou to his savior on the boat and said that he would treat him well, but you showed off your face when you came up. This is a loss of face for me, the boss of Fishman Street. But he is his little brother after all, Tiger thought for a while.

"Aaron, go to Coral Hill and get a few more barrels of wine, and then go patrol the surrounding area. You are not needed here."

Aaron looked at Noah and snorted hard, turned around and left. In his opinion, Boss Tiger drove him away just for these two humans. Don't let him find a chance, otherwise he would make humans realize the terror of the fish-men clan.

If Noah knew about it, he would definitely be speechless. How terrifying is the fish-men clan? In the entire Fish-Man Island, even after excluding the newly born Sea Kings, there is not a single one who can defeat them in terms of high-end combat power. With so many big pirates coming and going, haven't they ever shown their strength? Noah was puzzled.

After Aaron left, the atmosphere of the banquet became even more intense. Jinbei took Noah and drank several bowls of wine. Jinbei yearned for chivalry, and after learning that Noah saved his eldest brother's life, he expressed that he could save his life for his eldest brother. In the future, if you have to deal with going up a mountain of swords or into a sea of ​​fire, just go to him Jinbei. If you frown, he is not a whale shark.

After that, he and Noah had to drink eighteen bowls of wine in a row. Why even drinking eighteen bowls of wine has something to say. As Jinbei works in Ryugu Castle, he still has the opportunity to read human newspapers. The "Water Margin" is really to his liking, and he will read it carefully every time there is the latest newspaper. After seeing the story of a hero who drank eighteen bowls of wine and beat the king of the sea to death, Jinbe admired this bold behavior very much.

As soon as he got into the mood, he drank eighteen bowls of wine in a row, and felt that his own arrogance was already the second on Fish-Man Island. The first was naturally Brother Tiger, who would not be surpassed even if he drank too much.

Noah was also happy to take on the challenge. When it comes to drinking, sometimes it’s not a question of how many bowls you can drink, but whether you dare to drink or not. You have to stand firm in Fishman Street and spread ideas. In addition to force, heroism is also indispensable. Drinking together is sometimes the best way to get closer to a hero from Fishman Street like Jinbei.

Lifting the bowl directly, Noah drank it all in one gulp, then turned the bowl over to show that not a drop was left.

"I did it, you can do whatever you want."

Feng Qingyun's calm words ignited the whole audience

"Drink" "Drink" "Drink" "Drink" "Drink" "Drink" "Drink" "Drink" "Drink"

The cheers sounded rhythmically, and Tiger was the most lively cheering on the side. Jinbei also felt like he was on fire, one bowl after another. In the end, the two of them drank all eighteen bowls of wine, and it ended with Jinbei falling down.

Drinking still depends on physical fitness. Jinbei's current strength is still far behind. If the strength is equal, Jinbei's whale shark will have an advantage.

Put it on Jinbei, Noah spoke softly

"Who else is there?"

With a cry of coaxing, the place wasn't on fire, it was exploding. The men of Fishman Street have to do it even if they can't do it today. As the boss, Tiger no longer cares about his injuries at this time, he must set an example for the younger ones. Then Tiger collapsed. Several other cadres took turns, and finally Noah fell after killing half of the people in Fishman Street.

No matter how strong the system is, it cannot withstand this, but although Noah fell, he still made a name for himself in Fishman Street. He is no longer just Tiger's savior, but also has another identity as a sea hero from outside Fish-Man Island. Yes, someone who can drink like this is naturally a hero.

It was already noon when I woke up the next day. I walked out of the room and breathed out a breath of alcohol. After washing up, I found Robin and went to the Fishman Cafe to enjoy a delicious lunch together.

After eating, rest for a while, then get up and do something.
