Tiger was very clear that he was able to escape safely all the way because of Akira's care. Otherwise, whether he could reach the Sabaody Archipelago was still a question.
So after hearing Akira's words, he didn't hesitate, and immediately nodded in agreement.
Akira brought Fisher Tiger to Shakky's Rip-off Bar, and directly pushed the door open.
There still wasn't a single person in the bar. Sometimes Akira really didn't know how Shakky ran the bar. How come there were no customers all day long?
However, after thinking about Shakky's identity and the business she did in secret, he wasn't surprised. How much money could a bar earn all day long? Opening a bar was probably just a cover.
"You kid still knows how to come back? You haven't had any news for two years. I thought you had been killed by the Navy?"
Shakky was standing at the bar. When she saw that the person who had come in was actually Akira, a hint of joy flashed in her eyes.
However, she quickly concealed it, and instead said with a fierce face and a disdainful tone.
Akira answered nonchalantly, "How could those guys from the Navy catch me? I was just hiding in a place to cultivate for two years. It wasn't convenient to communicate there. So I didn't notify you."
Shakky snorted, and said, "I'm too lazy to care about you. It's just that your old man is always sending people to find you, and even found my place. It's really annoying. Also, what's going on with this Fish-Man you brought?"
"Old man."
Hearing that his old man Whitebeard had sent people to find him, a warm current immediately surged in Akira's heart.
Then, he introduced to Shakky, "Aunt Sha, this is Fisher Tiger from Fish-Man Island. He's my friend."
Shakky said with a light 'oh,' "Fisher Tiger, I've heard of your name. A Fish-Man adventurer."
Tiger was also very surprised. He hadn't expected that the woman in front of him would actually say his identity in one breath.
However, he didn't recognize Shakky. So he could only look at Akira.
Akira explained in a low voice, "This is Aunt Sha. Don't look at how young she looks. Actually, she's a great pirate from the same era as the Pirate King Roger and my old man. Her age is already very..."
"You brat."
Before Akira could continue speaking, a wine glass was smashed over. He only saw Shakky roar angrily, "Kid, don't think that I can't hear you just because your voice is small. If I hear you say that I'm old again, I'll kill you."
Akira shrank his neck. As expected, women were very concerned about their age. Although he complained in his heart, he didn't dare to express it.
He could only answer with a smile, "Okay, okay, Aunt Sha is young and invincible, and beautiful as a flower."
Looking at the bickering between Akira and Shakky, Fisher Tiger smiled in relief. Then, he said to Shakky in a very respectful tone, "My name is Fisher Tiger. I'm also Akira's friend. It's a pleasure to meet you."
Shakky nodded, and said, "Hmm, this kid is very absurd. However, his vision is still good. To be able to be treated as a friend by him, it seems that you also have something extraordinary."
Shakky had spent a period of time with Akira, and naturally understood Akira relatively well. Akira was still the type of person who was relatively arrogant in his bones. If you wanted to become his friend, you had to get his approval.
However, Shakky wasn't interested in Fisher Tiger. She continued to ask Akira, "Where did you run off to these past two years? What do you want to do coming here to my place again?"
Akira said with a wry smile, "Aunt Sha, can you not be so realistic? Can't I come here to see you if I don't have anything to do?"
"You kid is only early for things that are beneficial. I can only believe half of what you say." Shakky's face was full of disdain.
Akira said helplessly, "You've really misunderstood me. I came here just to meet you and Uncle Rayleigh. I'm preparing to go back to the New World. I haven't been home for a long time. I miss it a bit."
Shakky was surprised this time. She asked, "You're preparing to go back to the New World?"
"Yeah." Akira nodded.
Shakky said, "That's good. Then you hurry back. It'll save your old man from sending people to find me every few days for no reason. Also, that old thing Rayleigh doesn't know where he ran off to. He hasn't been back for half a month. You don't need to wait for him either."
Akira said disappointedly, "Oh, that's too bad. If Uncle Rayleigh comes back, Aunt Sha, please say hello to him for me."
Aunt Sha waved her hand, and said, "Alright, why are you so long-winded? Hurry up and get lost. Don't delay my business."
Hearing these words, Akira's face was full of black lines. You're still doing business at this bar? How many customers can you have in a day?
However, he still didn't leave. Instead, he said, "Aunt Sha, I want to go back to the New World. It's definitely impossible without a ship. Please lend me a coated ship."
Hearing these words, Shakky was immediately angry. She pointed at Akira, and shouted, "You kid even has the nerve to open your mouth and say that? What about the ship that I lent you before? You destroyed it for me in a few days. You still dare to borrow a ship from me now? I won't lend it to you."
Akira said dejectedly, "Then I'll pay to buy it. Is that alright?"
Shakky's attitude immediately changed, and she said with a smile, "Of course you can. I'll give you a discount. It's 10 million Berries."
"Are you kidding me? 10 million Berries? That's so expensive." Akira immediately jumped up.
Shakky said, "What are you shouting about? I've already given you a discount. I didn't even charge you for the ship last time. Is my ship the same as other people's ships? Moreover, it's coated. 10 million Berries. Don't even think about taking it away if you're short even one Berry."
"Put it on the tab." Akira knew that even if he said everything, he couldn't win against Shakky. So he could only admit defeat.
However, Shakky frowned, and said, "You're putting it on the tab again? You kid owes me so much money. You're always putting it on the tab. If it wasn't for your old man's sake, I wouldn't put it on the tab for you."
Akira still managed to get the ship from Shakky smoothly. Moreover, it was coated. Then, he and Fisher Tiger drove the ship from the Sabaody Archipelago, and entered the seabed.
Fisher Tiger was much more familiar with Fish-Man Island than Akira. So Akira handed over the responsibility of driving the ship to Tiger.
He assisted on the side. The two of them quickly submerged into the seabed, and then entered the area of Fish-Man Island.
After entering Fish-Man Island, Akira discovered how great Fisher Tiger's reputation was on Fish-Man Island. After they got off the ship, someone immediately parked the ship for them.
Moreover, a large group of Fish-Men surrounded them, and babbled while saying these words to Tiger. Everyone's expressions were excited. It was like they had seen an idol.
Tiger was also very patient, and greeted everyone. He maintained a smile throughout the entire process. It wasn't until a long time later that Tiger broke free from the surrounded situation.
"Tiger, I can see that you're very popular."
On the way to the Ryugu Palace, Akira said to Tiger with a smile. After watching One Piece, he had originally thought that Tiger had become the idol of all Fish-Men after doing that earth-shattering thing.
However, judging from the situation just now, it was obviously not the case. Tiger had long possessed an extremely great reputation on Fish-Man Island. He was the idol of many Fish-Men.
Tiger smiled, and said, "Everyone just wants to read the articles about my travels that I wrote. Fish-Man Island is located 10,000 meters below the sea.
Moreover, Fish-Men are discriminated against as soon as they go ashore. So although everyone wants to go ashore and take a look, they don't dare to.
I'm the first Fish-Man who dared to travel around the world. So everyone is so enthusiastic towards me."
Although Tiger said this, Akira obviously didn't completely believe it. He knew that Tiger had also come out from the slums of Fish-Man Island.
So he had an extremely high reputation among the Fish-Men at the bottom, and was even not much worse than King Neptune.
The two of them went directly towards the Ryugu Palace. Tiger had made such a big commotion by coming back.
Neptune and Queen Otohime naturally couldn't not know. So when Akira and the others came to the Ryugu Palace, they walked in without being blocked.
However, when they entered the main hall, Akira was blocked by the guards. But just at this time, Jinbe, the leader of the palace guards, came running over in a hurry.
"Tiger-bro!"
Tiger's whole body shook when he heard this loud shout. He looked at Jinbe rushing over, and the two of them hugged each other tightly.
The two of them patted each other's backs forcefully. They only let go after a long time. Tiger said to Jinbe with a smile, "It's been a few years. Jinbe, you've become much stronger. I just didn't expect that you would actually become a palace guard."
