Chapter 56 Fish-Man Island
Passing through the entrance of Fish-Man Island, Nicholas's Ship easily arrived within the Fish-Man Island area under the guidance of the Dragon Palace City Guard.
After entering the offshore waters of Fish-Man Island, Nicholas and his group slowly sailed towards Fish-Man Island.
"Mr. Nicholas, could you tell me what brings you to the New World this time?"
Neptune asked cautiously on the Deck.
Although Fish-Man Island is the gateway to the New World and has a good understanding of the News happening in the New World, as the prince of Dragon Palace City and the future King of Fish-Man Island, he naturally needed to obtain more detailed Intelligence to ensure Fish-Man Island could safely navigate the upcoming turmoil.
Facing Neptune's inquiry, Nicholas directly tossed the Wine Bottle in his hand to Neptune. Seeing the other's puzzled gaze, Nicholas said, "This is a century-old Wine God, very precious.
As for going to the New World, what else could it be for but to participate in the War!"
"As expected, are the Rocks Pirates going to have an all-out War with the World Government?"
Neptune looked solemn.
It could be said that Fish-Man Island would not participate in this War, but the aftermath of the battle could very likely cause a huge crisis for Fish-Man Island.
Once the New World erupts in fighting, then inevitably some defeated Pirate Crews will want to retreat back to the Grand Line, and then they will definitely pass through Fish-Man Island.
These guys who have failed in the New World, even as losers, are still a huge Threat to Fish-Man Island. In addition, the high price of Mermaids in the Human world is enough to make many people take risks in the chaos.
Just as Neptune was thinking about how to deal with the chaotic situation that followed, the Ship Nicholas was riding landed on Fish-Man Island.
"It really is an incredible Creation."
Looking at the huge Island in front of him, Nicholas felt that the nature of the Pirate World was truly amazing. You know, the population of Fish-Man Island is close to five million.
How was this kind of large Island formed 10,000 meters below the Deep Sea?
Moreover, looking at the appearance of Fish-Man Island, it doesn't seem like a naturally formed Island, but more like a man-made product.
Whether it's the artificial Sky with White Clouds in the air, or the two layers of Bubbles surrounding Fish-Man Island, neither could have been formed naturally.
"Hohohoho, it is indeed an incredible Creation. It is said that Fish-Man Island was built by a Mermaid Princess of some generation and her Companions, and it is also considered the last paradise left for the Merman Tribe."
Because he received Nicholas's Gift and some Intelligence, Neptune also explained, for Fish-Man Island, establishing a friendly relationship with a Strongest like Nicholas is very important.
At the same time that Nicholas landed on Fish-Man Island, some people in Fish-Man District also received News.
"Nani? Nicholas of the Rocks Pirates actually came to Fish-Man Island?"
"Letting such a dangerous guy into Fish-Man Island, did Neptune get his Head caught in a clam?"
After hearing that Neptune had actually let Nicholas into Fish-Man Island, Vander Decken VIII immediately said angrily.
"Brother Decken, what should we do?"
Speaking was an Octopus Fish-Man wearing a jacket and carrying six Swords on his back.
"What to do? Are we going to fight that guy? That guy is a Demon who once destroyed a large Island."
"Are we a match for that kind of guy?"
Listening to his subordinate's words, Vander Decken couldn't help but feel a little irritated.
"Then he directly said, as long as that guy doesn't stay in Fish-Man Island all the time, we don't need to bother with him. He will naturally leave eventually. You guys keep a close eye on him and report to me immediately if there are any developments."
After his subordinates had all left, Vander Decken VIII came to a hidden Room. On the Wall of the Room hung seven portraits of people.
Vander Decken glanced at them one by one, then came to the seventh portrait, stroked the portrait, and muttered to himself, "Damn old man, what exactly is the Power to rule the world that the ancestor spoke of? Our family has waited for so many years. Great-grandfather, grandfather, you, all hung on the Wall. I guess I might also hang on the Wall without ever seeing the Power to rule the world that the ancestor spoke of."
Then looking at the portrait of Vander Decken I, he said fiercely, "Old bastard, couldn't you have made some things clearer? Did you have to be a damn riddle Fish?"
After venting for a while, Vander Decken VIII walked out of the Room, leaving only seven portraits in the Room continuing to be silent.
"Mr. Nicholas, how is it? Is the Food of our Fish-Man Island still palatable?"
Neptune asked with a smile.
Under his warm invitation, Nicholas also came to Dragon Palace City for a short stay as a guest.
Nicholas picked up a Seaweed Tart and took a bite. His face showed a range of expressions. When he first put it in his mouth, it was almost like eating a century egg, but soon he felt a Delicious Food bloom on the Tip of the Tongue.
"Not bad."
After saying that, Nicholas picked up a Shellfish Pizza and started eating.
And seeing Nicholas's appearance, Neptune also had people bring up a large amount of Meat and Fish Dish. Although Mermaids don't like to eat Meat and Fish, it doesn't mean that Fish-Man Island lacks these Supplies. After all, the daily consumption of Meat and Fish in Fish-Man District is a huge number.
Watching Nicholas devour the Food, Neptune was also a little depressed. Originally, he wanted to build a closer relationship with Nicholas.
But the other party seemed focused on eating, leaving him unsure how to start a conversation for a while.
But soon Nicholas's words broke the silence.
"By the way, do you have a Mako Shark Mermaid little girl named Shally on Fish-Man Island?"
"Huh? This..."
Neptune was stunned after hearing Nicholas's words. Obviously, he hadn't expected Nicholas to be asking about someone, and it seemed he was looking for a Mermaid little girl.
Thinking of some nobles among Humans with special fetishes, Neptune's gaze towards Nicholas suddenly changed somewhat.
And Nicholas's Observation Haki was not just for show, he clearly understood Neptune's inner thoughts.
"Put away your dirty thoughts. I'm not a beast. Even if I were looking, I'd be looking for a big-boobed Mermaid sister, or a beautiful Mermaid, like a certain passionate and compassionate Orator on Fish-Man Island?"
Hearing Nicholas's words, especially mentioning the passionate and compassionate Orator, Neptune panicked at that moment. If he couldn't beat Nicholas, he would definitely let Nicholas know that the three prongs of the Trident were not for spearing Seaweed.
So, in order to dispel Nicholas's dangerous thoughts, Neptune also sent people to inquire about News.
But the final result was that there was no Mako Shark Mermaid little girl named Shally.
"Um, Mr. Nicholas, is the person you're looking for really on Fish-Man Island?"
Neptune was so nervous that cold sweat even broke out on his Head.
"Never mind then."
Nicholas said nonchalantly. The downside of arriving early is that many characters don't even know where they are yet.
But it doesn't matter, as long as he can lay low, he'll have everything eventually.
