One Piece: Arrival on Sky Island at the beginning

"Is this Fishman Street?"

Looking at it, it is completely different from the luxurious architectural style of Fish-Man Island. The buildings and houses in Fish-Man Street can only be described as simple and shabby.

Visible to the naked eye, the houses are all very low and dilapidated, and the ones I see the most are fish-man children.

And behind the entire Fishman Street is a huge ship: Noah!

"Mr. Tiger!"

Seeing Tiger back here, these children ran over excitedly as if they were seeing some idol.

Tiger also explained happily while teasing them.

"Well, Fishman Street was originally the Orphan Street of Fishman Island!"

"Orphan Street!?"

"Yeah. Because of the existence of human pirates and those mermaid traders, there are many children who have lost their parents in the entire Fish-Man Island. They were all sent here because there was no one to adopt them. Therefore, here is the entire Fish-Man Island, which contains the secrets of The place that humans hate the most.”

In fact, there is no need for Tiger to explain, it can be seen just from the fearful and nervous eyes of the children around Tiger looking at Ye Mu and the others.

If it weren't for Ye Mu being Tiger's partner, they would have been kicked out of Fishman Street long ago.

"Is that so? It seems that my choice is not wrong. The children here are born to be warriors."

That's right, the reason why Ye Mu asked Tiger to take him to Fishman Street was to find fishmen suitable to become warriors here.

Although the Sky Pirates follow a small but refined route and do not need so many people, some powerful warriors are still very necessary for possible future wars and the need to protect their territory.

And as a fish-man tribe that is as famous as giants in the entire One Piece world, how could Ye Mu let it go.

Ye Mu did not hide his thoughts, so Tiger also knew about it.

Tiger even agrees with this.

but.

"Captain, you don't seem to like the fish people in other places on Fish-Man Island."

Ye Mu didn't hide his displeasure and asked directly.

"Let me ask you, how many soldiers have you recruited in the past ten days?"

Tiger looked a little embarrassed now. Although he didn't give a specific number, just from the embarrassed look on his face, he knew that the result was not good.

Ye Mu didn't embarrass Tiger and asked himself.

"Your compatriots have been so tamed by your princess that they don't even know what it means to resist."

To be honest, Ye Mu's words were quite serious in tone, but when Tiger thought of the lonely recruiting office these days, he could only sigh helplessly.

"Okay, let's go play!"

After Tiger patted the heads of several children and sent them away, Tiger then asked Ye Mu as he walked away.

"Captain, don't you believe Princess Otohime's assertion?"

"Do not."

Ye Mu shook his head.

"There is no problem in living peacefully with humans. Even I agree with it, but your princess is too naive."

Having said this, Ye Mu also stopped, looked into Tiger's eyes, and asked very seriously.

"Let me ask you, Tiger, do you really believe that peace can be begged for?"

At this moment, Tiger also frowned.

Although Ye Mu said it harshly, everything done by the ancestors of Fishman Island and the current Princess Otohime, in a certain way, is indeed like begging for the human world.

Seeing this, Ye Mu did not embarrass Tiger and said directly.

"Although what I said is a bit cruel, peace achieved without bloodshed is very fragile."

It’s not that Tiger doesn’t understand this truth, but...

"But Brother Tom and Granny Kokoro can live peacefully in the Capital of Seven Waters, so what about the other fishmen?"

"That's because there are only two of them. Try it. When all the fishmen on Fishman Island go to land and compete with the humans in the land world for survival resources and land, how will humans react? Not to mention you fishmen. People's physical fitness is naturally much stronger than that of humans, so it's natural for humans to feel dangerous." 7

When Tiger heard this, his expression became a little gloomy.

"Is there no hope then? Our murlocs' dream for hundreds of years is to live under the sun..."

"Of course not. To be honest, Tiger, if the dream of you fishmen on Fishman Island is just to live under the sunshine on land, it would not be difficult..."

"Eh!!!"

Tiger was taken aback.

"Just like our next goal, with your murloc abilities, although it is more difficult to find a place to settle in the Grand Line and the Four Seas, like the warriors of Daughter Island, you can find a suitable place to settle in the Windless Zone. Island, it shouldn’t be that difficult.”

"Eh!"

Tiger was really stunned at this moment. Ye Mu's words seemed to give him another answer that he had never thought of.

Yes, with the fish people's ability to survive in the sea and their ability to communicate with fish, it is not difficult to find a suitable island to survive in the windless zone, like Amazon Lily.

Moreover, in some ways, the Windless Zone is much safer than Fish-Man Island.

At least according to Ye Mu, the only ships that can control the windless zone now, except the Gemini Goddess, are the navy.

"It seems to be true, but why didn't our ancestors on Fish-Man Island do that? Has no one thought of it in hundreds of years?"

Tiger suddenly became confused.

Seeing this, Ye Mu probably felt that there was something he could say, so he raised his head and pointed at the entire Fish-Man Island and asked.

"Tiger, what do you think Fish-Man Island is like?"

Tiger was stunned and didn't understand what it meant.

Ye Mu didn't play riddles and said directly.

"Have you ever felt that your Murloc Island is like a huge cage, binding all of your Murlocs here?"

"!!!"

For a moment, Tiger looked shocked.

"cage!!!"

"Ah, I have heard a very famous saying, which can also be applied to you Fish-Man Island, that is: Fish-Man Island is never a place. Wherever you fish-men or mermaids are, there is Fish-Man Island!"

At this moment, Tiger felt that something in his heart that had been binding him for a long time seemed to be unlocked. His chest had never felt freer before, and his brain had never been so clear.

"The Fish-Man Island has never been a place. Wherever you fish-men or mermaids are, there is the Fish-Man Island!"

He murmured these words, his eyes getting brighter and brighter.

"Well, but now, although this is just a guess on my part, I feel that all of you fishmen seem to be bound here by something, making it impossible for you to escape."

"So, is it really the world government or humans that prevents your fish-man island from surviving under the sunshine of land? Or is it something else..."

At this moment, Tiger suddenly felt that his captain seemed to care about something.

"Captain, that's what you said."

Ye Mu did not answer directly, but said with a guessing tone.

"Don't you think it's a bit too much of a coincidence?"

"coincide?"

"Yes, why is the Red Earth Continent so big, why is the location of your Fish-Man Island so coincidentally right at the entrance of this cave, why is the Holy Land Mary Joa above your head, and why does this Sun Tree Eve exist so coincidentally? it's here?"

"Is this really just a coincidence?"
