Time passed quietly like a stream, and it seemed as if just a blink of an eye had passed by in a hurry! Rocky slowly put away the fishing rod in his hand, staring at the mysterious and beautiful Fishman Island in the distance. With curiosity and expectation about the unknown world in his heart, he walked towards the island with firm steps.

The direction he chose to go was the bustling and lively place, which was also the most vibrant and popular place on the entire island - the core area near the palace. Along the way, Rocky saw all kinds of fishmen and marine creatures, who were either busy with their own trivial matters or leisurely enjoying this peaceful underwater world.

Artificial sunlight casts mottled shadows through the sea water, illuminating Rocky's path. He seems to be in a dreamy fairy tale country. The buildings along the way are unique in style, colorful, and full of rich marine atmosphere. The walls are inlaid with pearls and shells, and the streets are lined with exquisite coral sculptures. Every detail shows the unique charm of this island.

As he got closer to the palace, Rocky felt a solemn atmosphere coming over him. The guards here were even stricter, and the patrolling soldiers were focused and vigilantly watching the movements around them. However, Rocky was not frightened by this tense atmosphere. Instead, he quickened his pace with more excitement, and couldn't wait to uncover the secrets hidden behind this mysterious kingdom.

Fishman Island, this mysterious island in the New World, seems to be a pearl of the ocean full of temptations and dangers. It is not only a must-go place for many pirates to the second half of the Grand Line, but also the starting point or end point of countless adventurers' dreams. Due to its unique geographical location and importance, it is always home to all kinds of pirates from all over the world. They either take a short break and replenish supplies; or look for companions and form a strong team; or wait for the right time to embark on a new journey. However, it is precisely because of such a large and complex flow of people that the security situation of Fishman Island has always been unsatisfactory.

For a long time, Fishman Island was in chaos and crimes were rampant. The streets were often filled with quarrels and fights, and residents lived in fear. Although the local government had taken many measures to improve the situation, the results were minimal. Until one day, the top leaders of Fishman Island made a difficult but wise decision - to pay a certain amount of protection money to Edward Newgate, the "Whitebeard", who was known as the strongest man in the world, in exchange for his protection.

Since then, Fishman Island has finally ushered in a period of relative peace. With his powerful strength and prestige, Whitebeard deterred those criminals who intended to cause trouble on the island. However, under the calm appearance, there is another crisis hidden. Although large-scale violent conflicts have decreased, poachers still frequently appear in this sea area. I believe everyone can guess the reason: those young and beautiful fish people have become the hot and rare "playthings" in the eyes of many nobles. Especially those high-ranking Celestial Dragons have a special liking for owning a fish-man pet. Whenever a fish-man pet is sent to land and auctioned, it will trigger a fierce bidding war, and the final transaction price is often astonishingly high, bringing huge profits.

For these poachers, the lure of money far outweighs the constraints of morality and law. They risk their lives to sneak into the waters around Fishman Island and set various traps to capture those innocent fishmen. Once these poor fishmen fall into their hands, they will be transported to distant lands, lose their freedom, and become slaves or playthings of others. Faced with such a cruel reality, the residents of Fishman Island are furious, but they can do nothing about it. They can only pray silently, hoping that one day they can completely get rid of this tragic fate.

Walking to a clear, sparkling pool, Rocky stopped and looked down with curiosity and anticipation. The scene in front of him made him widen his eyes - the pool was full of young and beautiful fish people! They were graceful and had skin as white as snow, like a group of elves from the underwater world.

Some of the mermen were sitting elegantly on the edge of the pool, gently stroking the delicate harp in their hands, and telling touching stories with their melodious voices; some gathered in groups of three or five, happily playing water polo, with bursts of crisp and pleasant laughter coming from the splashing water; while others were quietly immersed in the ocean of knowledge, concentrating on reading mysterious books, as if the noise of the outside world had nothing to do with them...

Rocky thought to himself: If we can capture all the fishmen in this pool and bring them to land, and hold a grand auction, what a huge fortune we will get! A conservative estimate is no less than 3 billion berries! Thinking of this, he shook his head and sighed that these fairies are indeed very attractive. Even he, who often keeps company with beautiful women, is amazed, not to mention others.

He only calculated how much it was worth in his mind, but he would not take any action. After all, these beautiful lives are not commodities that can be bought and sold at will, they have their own unique culture and dignity.

Besides, Rocky got all the property of this guy Tesoro, and he has 20% of the world's wealth in his hands. He is a real hidden rich man, and maybe even the richest man in the world.

"Sisters, look! Right on that shore, there is a strange man with extraordinary temperament and heroic appearance!" One of the female fishmen shouted excitedly, her voice filled with irrepressible excitement and curiosity.

"Wow! He's so handsome!" Another female merman also echoed, her beautiful big eyes flashing with admiration, as if she was deeply attracted to the strange man in front of her.

"Hmph, damn it! How can there be such a handsome man in this world? But no, I must not fall in love with humans! Those damn humans are all extremely evil demons!" Although she said this, the female merman could not take her eyes off Rocky, and she seemed to be experiencing a fierce struggle deep in her heart.

However, the other female fishmen did not have so many concerns. Someone else shouted loudly: "I don't care about race! This man is simply my dream lover, I must give birth to a child with him!" As soon as this was said, it immediately caused an uproar. The female fishmen whispered to each other and started to discuss.

With a series of exclamations, the scattered female fishmen quickly gathered together and focused their attention on Rocky. At this moment, they were like a group of devout believers, looking up at the supreme god in their hearts, with eyes full of admiration and obsession. Rocky standing in front of them was like a fairy descending from the sky, exuding an irresistible charm.

"Is this the worry that comes with that troubling good looks?" Rocky couldn't help but sigh in his heart.

Originally, he came here just to watch the fun, but he never expected that because of his extraordinary appearance and unique temperament, the eyes of this group of fishmen would be focused on him again!

It was as if I had become a shining pearl in this sea, attracting everyone's attention wherever I went.

At this moment, being stared at by so many fishmen, Rocky felt uncomfortable all over. It felt like countless pairs of eyes were examining him, which made him feel more stressed. However, facing such a situation, he could do nothing about it. After all, this innate charm was not something he could control.

The corners of his mouth slightly raised, outlining a charming smile, Rocky opened his lips and said, "Goodbye." Before he finished speaking, he suddenly used the magical skill of instant step. In an instant, his figure became blurred, as if it had merged with the surrounding air. The next second, Rocky had disappeared without a trace, as if he had never appeared.

"He...he smiled at me?" A female merman stared at the direction where Rocky disappeared, muttering to herself. Her eyes were full of intoxication and obsession, and her whole body seemed to have lost its soul. She fell limply into the swimming pool. Water splashed everywhere, but she was unaware of it, and was just immersed in the brief and heart-warming moment just now.

"No! He was the one who smiled at me! Don't make any mistakes!" Another female merman screamed excitedly, her voice sharp and piercing, breaking the originally peaceful atmosphere. She clenched her fists tightly, her face flushed, as if she wanted to prove that she was the lucky one. However, the other female mermen did not buy it, and accused her of being self-righteous.

"Hmph! A bunch of sluts! You're so obsessed with a man that you can't even walk! You're really bringing shame to us fishmen!" An older female fishman snorted coldly, saying with disdain. Her eyes swept over her companions who had lost their composure, and an indescribable anger and disappointment surged in her heart.

"Oh, sister, please don't say that. He is not an ordinary man, he is simply a fallen immortal from heaven! Just one look at him can make people intoxicated!" Another young female fishman retorted, with admiration in her eyes. She put her hands together in front of her chest, as if praying to see Rocky's charming smile again.

For a moment, the whole pool was in chaos, with the fishwomen arguing endlessly with each other. Rocky had already left, leaving these crazy women who were obsessed with him to continue arguing...

In just a few moments, Rocky appeared in a magnificent palace like a ghost, without any suspense.

This place is the hidden core of the inner palace of Fishman Island.
