Pirate's Fire Dragon's Claw

Chapter 14 Mermaid Cafe

After making a fuss in the morning, Laya prepared breakfast for Glenn, and the two ate and chatted

"Glenn, have you ever been to Murloc Island before?"

"no"

"Wherever you go, just listen to me."

"Of course, as long as you take me to the port at the end"

Raya smiled and said:
"I will handle it"

Then suddenly asked:
"By the way, are you going to the new world? I heard from Mrs. Xia Li that many pirates want to go to the new world."

"No, I'm from the new world, I'm going to the first half of the great voyage, and I'm not a pirate"

"Hey? Are you from the New World? What's it like there? Why do so many people want to go?"

"A new world?"

Glenn remembered the small island where he stayed at the beginning, and most of his impressions of the new world came from there, so he said:

"The environment there is very harsh, people are very cruel, either you kill me or I kill you"

"That's it"

Afterwards, Laya was silent. She always thought that the New World was a more beautiful place than Murloc Island, which is why so many people wanted to go there, but she never thought that Glenn would say that
In this way, the two finished their breakfast, and Laya took Glenn to the surface of the water by taking the turtle elevator
Coming out of the water, through the bubbles on the turtle, Glenn saw the fishman island from the inside for the first time
The sky above the fishman island is a blue sky with many clouds floating in the sky, and a tall castle can be seen in the distance
Laya took Glenn to the shore. The land of Murloc Island is different from normal land. Many places are made of coral reefs. Most of the buildings on the water are built on coral reefs.
You can see many mermaids and murlocs hanging out on the street, and you can also see some beautiful mermaids playing on the water. The dreamlike environment makes Glenn from another world feel like he is in a fairy tale world.

Laya brought Glenn to the shore and said to Glenn:
"Is there anything in particular you want to go?"

"no"

"Then let me take you to the place where I work first."

"Okay, anyway, I don't know the way, so I'll follow your advice"

Then Laya took Glenn and began to walk towards her work place
While walking Raya, I introduced Fishman Island to Glenn

"The place we are now is called Mermaid Bay, we will go to the Mermaid Cafe later, I work there"

Glenn nodded, pointed to a tall palace in the distance and asked:
"Is that the Dragon Palace City?"

"Well, there lived King Neptune, three princes, and Princess Shirahoshi"

Glenn nodded after hearing this, and the two continued to walk forward
The two saw a lot of murlocs and mermaids along the way, but Glenn found that most people looked at him with either disgust or fear, which made him very puzzled. Laya noticed his expression and explained:

"I heard from Mrs. Xiali that humans have always come to the island to catch mermaids. Moreover, Princess Otohime was killed by humans three years ago. Although the old man with white beard later declared that the fishman island was his territory, the number has decreased a lot. Slave traders, but there are still many residents on the island who hate humans"

"That's it"

Glenn nodded, then asked:
"Aren't you afraid that I'm a slave trader who came to Fishman Island to catch mermaids?"

After hearing this, Laya said doubtfully:

"Didn't you say that you want to go to the first half of the great voyage, passing by Murloc Island? Are you lying to me?"

"no"

Laya smiled:
"That's it, let's go"

So Laya continued to take Glenn forward, the two chatted while walking, and Laya continued to introduce Glenn to Fishman Island

Suddenly, Glenn heard the sound of something flying over his head, looked up, and saw a black shadow flying across the sky towards Dragon Palace City, like an ax

Glenn turned his head and asked Laya:

"It seemed like an ax flew in the sky just now"

Laya looked at the sky, sighed and said:

"It's not all the good deeds of that bastard Vanda Daken. He didn't know why he fell in love with the 9-year-old Princess Baixing. He insisted on marrying Princess Baixing. He also sent love letters to Princess Baixing every day. After being rejected, he became angry and threatened. , Throwing all kinds of weapons around Princess Shirahoshi every day, forcing Princess Shirahoshi to live in a hard shell tower"

"oh, I see"

Glenn thought that there was indeed such a perverted guy in the original book. He seemed to have taken a fancy to Shirahoshi's ability to summon sea kings. If I was 16 years old and now I am 9 years old, that means there are still 7 years before Luffy goes to Fishman Island, and about 5 years before Luffy goes to sea.
This also solved Glenn's long-standing doubts about his own timeline.

"Princess Baixing is obviously so kind, and she is still so young. It is really pitiful that she has to suffer such a thing."

Laya's voice pulled Glenn out of his thoughts, and Glenn said casually:

"Didn't the king send someone to arrest him?"

"Of course I sent someone, but I never caught it. That bastard Fanda Daken is too cunning."

"Do you hate him?"

"Of course, everyone on Murloc Island hates him"

Glenn nodded and the two continued to walk forward. After a while, they finally arrived at the place where Laya worked-the Mermaid Cafe
"Here, here is where I work"

Glenn looked at the building in front of him. The appearance was very gorgeous. Compared with other buildings on the street, it was much nicer and bigger.

Laya led Glenn to open the door and walked into the coffee shop. When the door was opened, a piece of blue color greeted the eyes. The main decoration of the coffee shop was blue, which was similar to the general bar. There is a bar, and the rest of the space is a few small tables with some chairs next to it, and a few mermaids, murlocs, and humans are sitting and eating in the shop

After seeing Laya, several mermaid waiters who were busy in the shop said to Laya:

"Laya, why are you here, aren't you resting today?"

"I'm bringing a new friend around"

As he spoke, he pointed to Glenn behind him, and Glenn reached out to greet the famous mermaid

"Hello"

"Hello"

The mermaids in the mermaid cafe are not particularly hostile to Glenn, on the contrary they are very enthusiastic. It seems that they belong to those who are not particularly hostile to humans.
Laya introduced several mermaid waiters in the store to Glenn, and Glenn greeted them
At this time, a mermaid who was much larger than the average mermaid came out from the door behind the bar, holding a cigarette, and greeted Laya after seeing Laya:

"Isn't this Laya, aren't you resting, why did you come here?"

Raya introduced Glenn to her, and said to Glenn:
"Glenn, this is Mrs. Charlie, the owner of this cafe"

Glenn greeted Mrs. Charlie, and Mrs. Charlie took Glenn and Laia to the back room of the cafe to chat so as not to disturb the guests of the cafe

In the back room, Mrs. Xia Li sat on a big sofa, and Glenn and Laya sat opposite her

Lady Charlie asked Glenn:
"What is this little brother doing in Fishman Island?"

Before Glenn could speak, Laya spoke for him:

"Glenn was going to the first half of the great voyage, passed by Murloc Island, drowned in the water of Mermaid Bay, and was rescued by me"

Mrs. Xia Li frowned after hearing this:
"Mermaid Bay? Didn't this little brother enter the Fishman Island from the port?"

Glenn explained:
"My ship was destroyed by a sea monster in the sea, and I came through the bubble outside the fishman island"

Mrs. Charlie added:

"Then your situation is illegal entry. If you are discovered by the King's Army, it will be very troublesome."

At this time, Laya also remembered, and exclaimed:
"Yes, Glenn, you entered the country illegally. What should you do? If you are found out, you will be arrested."

Glenn thought with black lines all over his head, "Did you just remember such an important thing?"

Then Mrs. Charlie said:

"Did anyone see you with him just now?"

"Um, yes, there are many people along the way."

"Then this will be troublesome. If the king's army really investigates, Glenn should be found soon."

Laya panicked:

"Then what should we do?"

Mrs. Charlie took a puff of cigarette and said:
"Either you hide him, or send him out of Murloc Island immediately"

Glenn said to Raya:

"I'd better go, so as not to cause unnecessary trouble to you"

"But I haven't taken you around Fishman Island yet."

"It's okay, you will take me to have fun next time I come"

"Well then, I'll take you to the port"

As he said that, he was about to pull Glenn out through the back door, but just as Laya stood up, Madam Xia Li stopped her:
"Raya, you are not allowed to go"

"why?"

"In the current situation, if you are discovered by the Royal Army, you will not be able to get rid of the responsibility, you are not allowed to go"

Laya was about to refute when Glenn said to her:

"Forget it, just show me the direction, I can find it myself"

"OK then"

Laya pointed out the direction of the port for Glenn, and Glenn waved to Laya and walked towards the port
