Chapter 198: Meeting Princess Otto for the First Time
The pirate ship Darkmaru, which Wood and his gang had originally been confiscated by Judiciary Island, was bombarded by the World Government's bombardment, and it seemed that not even a single plank of wood could be found.
Without the pirate ship, Wood and the others could only choose to ride on the boat and follow Tiger and the others to the Chambord Islands first.
Later, in order to repay Wood's kindness, Tom and two disciples used local materials to create the so-called "Dark Pill II" for Wood and others for free.
Because he could no longer return to the Seven Islands of Water, and Tom became a wanted criminal by the World Government, at the suggestion of Tiger, Tom finally joined the "Sun Pirates" and became a ship in the pirate group.
Carpenter.
Tiger and his group are all wanted by the World Government, and they are all fish-men, so there is no barrier to Tom's joining.
However, when Bingshan and Franky saw their mentor joining the "Sun Pirates" and wanted to join them, they were unanimously rejected by the Sun Pirates and Tom.
There are two reasons why the Sun Pirates refused. One is that Franky and Bingshan are humans, and they, the fish-men, do not want to live with humans day and night.
As for the second reason, Aaron and the others dislike Franky and Bingshan for being too weak, which will seriously lower the overall level of their pirate group.
Most of the fishmen in Fishman Street wanted to join them, but they all chose to refuse. There was no reason for them to let two brats who were both weak and human join them.
The reason why Tom refused to join Bingshan and Franky was simpler. He did not want his two disciples to become pirates, but to live as excellent shipwrights.
He had no choice but to join the "Sun Pirates". After all, with the bounty on his head, he couldn't protect himself with his own abilities.
But Bingshan and Franky were not given bounties, and they could continue to live as ordinary people.
It was also for this reason that Bingshan and Frankie were left in the Chambord Islands and opened a shipyard on the island.
As the starting point of the New World, the Chambord Islands not only have a developed coating industry, but also have great achievements in shipbuilding companies.
In order to enter the new world, Wood and his "Dark Pill II" successfully entered Mermaid Island after completing the coating, and officially entered the new world.
Ships entering the 10,000-meter-deep Mermaid Island often face huge risks.
In addition to whether the workers who coat the pirate ship are highly skilled, there are many other factors.
For example, attacks by Neptunes, or lack of oxygen in soap bubbles, etc.
Once the bubble surrounding the pirate ship bursts during the process of going deep into the bottom of the sea, even the world's top warriors will have no choice but to perish in the sea.
The terrifying sea pressure in the deep sea can easily crush the internal organs of ordinary humans, and humans who do not have the ability to breathe in water, no matter how strong they are, are in vain in such an environment.
Entering the new world requires a certain amount of courage and strength, and this first trip to Mermaid Island is to test whether these pirates have such courage.
The horrific death rate when going to Mermaid Island also forces many pirates who want to enter the new world to take desperate risks and walk through the route in front of the navy headquarters.
Because facing the navy's pursuit, they at least still have the strength to fight, but if something happens in the deep sea, they are almost in a desperate situation.
Of course, the two routes to the New World are very dangerous for other people, but for Wood and the others, it is not a problem at all.
When passing by the Navy Headquarters, as long as you say hello to Sengoku in advance, the other party will not deliberately target him, but will only send a few warships to chase them symbolically.
As for going to the Mermaid Island, there are a group of fishmen from the "Sun Pirates" escorting me, so how can I encounter danger?
On the way to Mermaid Island, Tiger and the others could almost walk there with their eyes closed.
Even if they encounter some attacking Neptunes along the way, Wood and his friends don't even need to take action, as Tiger and his friends have already dealt with them all.
And when Wood and the others landed on Mermaid Island, they experienced what it means to be treated as a comprehensive idol.
Tiger and the "Sun Pirates" are wanted criminals by the World Government. That's a matter outside, but it obviously doesn't apply here on Mermaid Island.
When the Sun Pirates and Wood entered the giant soap bubble of Mermaid Island, in the square of Mermaid Island, a large number of residents of Mermaid Island who had already heard the news gathered with various banners to welcome Tiger and the others.
After the Holy Land Marie Joa, Tiger Boss and the others finally did another big thing, and this time it was for their compatriots.
In the outside world, Tiger is a vicious fish-human criminal according to the World Government, but here on Mermaid Island, Tiger is a real national idol hero.
Moreover, King Neptune of Mermaid Island did not choose to stop the residents of Mermaid Island from welcoming and worshiping Tiger and the others, and even took a supportive attitude.
On the surface, the work of the world government is enough. As for the other things, Mermaid Island doesn't care at all.
Mermaid Island is located 10,000 meters deep in the sea and is basically a restricted area for humans. If it weren't for the strong men in the world government and navy, King Neptune really wouldn't have to give anyone any face.
Because Tiger and the others are heroes, and in the story of Justice Island, Wood and the others also played a role as assistants to the heroes, so they also received a warm welcome from Mermaid Island.
During this period, Wood also met the long-famous Princess Otohime. To be more precise, after Wood came to Mermaid Island, she was the one who took the initiative to meet him.
Princess Otohime devoted her life to coexisting in harmony with humans, whether they are fishmen or mermaids.
Unfortunately, although the princess's prestige is high, there are not many supporters of her ideals in Mermaid Island.
And for so many years, Princess Otohime had never met a human being who had the same ideals as her, until Tiger told her about Wood's existence.
The place where Princess Otohime and Wood agreed to meet was the "Umi no Mori" on Mermaid Island, and this was also a place where Princess Otohime often visited.
The Forest of the Sea has a historical text that seems to record information about the legendary "Sea King". However, Wood already knows who the so-called "Sea King" is, so this time he did not take Robin with him, but went alone.
Come to your appointment.
Outside the Sea Forest, Tiger and Otohime, who had been waiting for a long time, looked very happy when they saw Wood coming as promised.
And Tiger also chose to apologize immediately after meeting Wood, because he did not abide by the agreement and help Wood keep the secret of his identity. Wood was the fish-man swordsman Yasuo, and what they said on the desert island
, they all informed Princess Otohime.
"Tiger boss, please don't worry. If it's Princess Otohime, it doesn't matter. And I also believe that the princess will help me keep the secret."
