[One Piece] Inferior Star

Youxiang had heard such a story before.

The mermaid princess fell in love with the human prince, and finally turned into a love tragedy of foam on the sea.

She also knows about the existence of mermaids and murlocs.It is in the Chambord Islands that are about to arrive. Pirates who want to go to the new world need to coat their boats here, and then dive to the [-]-meter-deep Murloc Island, which is the hometown of mermaids and murlocs.It's just that because of some historical problems, they are still rarely seen above sea level.

I heard that in the past, mermaids and murlocs were classified as 'fish' by humans and suffered cruel persecution.Even today, those deep-rooted ideas still affect them.As a result, mermaids and murlocs rarely approach the human world.Although I occasionally see some in pirates or certain places, it is still rare——

Especially this young mermaid.

Young mermaids are like mermaids from fairy tales.It has a human upper body and a long fish tail.The glittering sky-blue scales are so smooth that water drops slide off smoothly, fair skin, slender and graceful body, soft caramel-colored hair, and big emerald-colored eyes that are also like gems.

However, the only difference from the legend is that this is a male mermaid.In other words, it was a mermaid boy.

"Aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa caught by humans!!!"

Also very noisy.

Youxiang stood next to Kira in shock and looked at the mermaid sitting on the deck who was afraid of hitting her tail. She was so beautiful... Although she was a boy, she was so beautiful! !

"Why is Younger Sister Youxiang wearing the boss's clothes?" The crew also discovered this, "Could it be——"

"Boss, you!! You, you...you are worthy of being a big pirate!! Damn it!!"

"I'm so envious, boss!! I also want to—"

"Ah? What are you thinking too?" Kidd suddenly appeared behind them.

"I also want to congratulate you!!" The crew member immediately changed his words, and he quickly retreated, "Congratulations, boss!"

What are you congratulating on?Kidd had no idea what he was talking about, but forget it, let's solve the immediate trouble first.There is actually a mermaid on the deck... Is it because I am still drunk!But if you think about it carefully, this is about to reach the Chambord Islands, so it shouldn't be too surprising that there are murlocs and mermaids.

"fish--"

"Brother mermaid! What's your name? My name is Youxiang, let's be friends!!!"

Before Kidd could speak, Youxiang finished speaking quickly and rushed over: "Wow...that's amazing, it's really a mermaid! So beautiful!! Can I touch your scales? ?”

"Ah, um, um..." The little mermaid brother was a little scared, but he still nodded.

Youxiang touched it lightly with her small hand, it turned out that the scales of the mermaid are warm and slippery to the touch... so amazing!She laughed: "Thank you! Wow... The Great Route is really good... By the way, what's your name?"

"I...my name is Takumi..." little brother Takumi said hesitantly, "That... are you... sea, sea... pirates?!"

"No, I'm a fortune teller." Youxiang said it as a matter of course.

"Huh... I was scared to death... Grandpa told me that pirates would eat mermaids..." Takumi breathed a sigh of relief, "So it's not pirates but a circus..."

"Wait for me!" It's all over the place!Kidd, who was listening on the side, finally couldn't help but speak, he said, "You are a wool fortune teller! Little girl! Haven't your licenses been revoked! You are a pirate now! I don't even know whose ship you are on. !"

"Hey~~ Don't." Youxiang said in a drawn-out voice, "Pirates are not fashionable at all now, what a shame."

"you--"

"Yeah! Mr. Kira, help!!"

Before Kidd approached, Youxiang had taken the lead and hid behind Kira.Kidd had no choice but to give up, he turned his head to look at the trembling mermaid and said, "It's you... Although we have no experience of eating mermans, if you don't prove the value of being alive to us, I don't mind at all." Try what you smell like!"

"Ah, ah, pirates are so scary!!" Super scary! !The contrast between the little sister and the big brother just now is too great!You humans are so strange! !Takumi was so frightened that he backed away a long way. He said, "I, I, I... that... I just came to find my friend who opened a shop near the Chambord Islands! Please don't eat me!!"

"Ah? Who cares what you do, I mean value, do you understand value?"

"That, that..." Takumi thought for a while, and he said weakly, "If...you are pirates, then, then you must want to go to the New World! If you go to the New World, you have to go through the fishman island, the seabed The current is very dangerous, but if I guide you..."

"Huh..." I actually thought of a good value.Kidd raised his eyebrows, and he said, "Okay. Then I won't eat you for a while."

"Thank you, thank you!!" Takumi thanked loudly.

"..." A guy who is as clueless as that little girl.However, such a young mermaid is really rare on land. He must have some special reason to come up.Kidd didn't say anything more, but turned around and said to the crew, "This is the guide, you all be careful! Eat it after passing the Fishman Island!"

"Do you still want to eat me!!" No! !I must not be tasty at all! !

"It's so noisy, kid! Shut up!"

"Yes!!"

Really... Kidd walked towards the cabin unhappily. As soon as the sun shone, his hangover got worse and his head started to hurt again.When passing by Youxiang, he took back his coat and said, "Little girl, I'll leave this kid to you. If one of you loses, I'll eat the other one. Do you understand?"

"Obey! Captain!" Youxiang made a gesture of salute, and adjusted the goggles by the way.After Kidd entered the cabin, she looked up and asked Kira, "Can he really eat people, Mr. Kira?"

"Anyway, he should be very happy to 'eat' you." Kira raised his hand and straightened the goggles again, and he said, "Okay. We are going to the Chambord Islands soon. There will be a lot of new pirates with a bounty of over [-] million, and we can't relax. Especially you... If you know that we have your tactical loophole on our ship, you will be miserable."

"Don't worry, Mr. Kira! I don't think anyone will think I'm with the captain if I walk on the street!"

"... Makes sense." And he would probably be considered a kidnapper and a victim.Kira said, "But still don't let your guard down. Don't stare, don't rush at the ice cream, and don't make friends with people. Got it?"

"Understood~ Kira-san~~"

"Don't draw your voice out."

"Understood!" Do you really need to be so heartbroken?Youxiang puffed out her mouth to express her grievance, and then was poked in the face by Kira.He poked and ran away, so Youxiang didn't have a chance to fight back.Forget it, let's go play with Takumi first!Thinking of this, Youxiang ran to the side of the mermaid boy——

"Takumi!"

"Ah! Youxiang..." Takumi breathed a sigh of relief when he saw that Youxiang was calling him. He said, "I was scared to death. Was that the captain just now?"

"Yes. He is really scary sometimes." Youxiang squatted down and looked at him and said, "But don't worry. Since he has said that Takumi is a guide, as long as Takumi can be regarded as his companion, he will not How is it?"

"That's great..." You don't need to be eaten... Takumi felt relieved again, and he said, "However, speaking of it, you look completely different from them... Could it be that you were also caught? "

"No." I'm almost a 'self-inflicted trap'.Youxiang replied, "I'm here voluntarily. Because something happened... It's dangerous for me to be outside alone, so I need a scary pirate as a backer~"

"So it's like this... After all, that captain might be a good man."

"That's what you say, but he will be angry if you tell him that." This is very similar to Matthew.Speaking of Matthew... Youxiang thought of Matthew, wasn't he surprised when he saw the mermaid?None shouting 'unreasonable! ! It's so strange that people like that rushed over to 'erase' this existence!

"—Confirmation of internal organs, bones, blood pressure, and body temperature. It's a mermaid from a sapphire fish." As soon as he mentioned Matthew, Matthew suddenly appeared on the other side of Takumi. He stroked Takumi's tail, and then squeezed it again His face, "The upper body is a human male. Other characteristics are also consistent. It meets the evolutionary standards of this world. He is in good health and his age is about... between 17 and 20 years old."

"Okay, that's amazing!" It's rare to see a human being who is a mermaid just by looking at it!Takumi looked at Matthew with sparkling eyes, "Are you a human scholar?"

"No, I'm not a human being." Matthew replied bluntly, "It's better to say that you are closer to human beings than I am."

"I don't really understand...but you can see so much just by looking..."

"Ah. Because I'm very powerful." Matthew raised his eyebrows, he said, "However, I generally have an attitude of disgust towards normally evolved intelligent life forms. I hate you. So don't think that you can become friends with me .”

"Huh, huh?! I'm sorry... that..." I heard that many people in the human race hate mermaids and murlocs...

"Don't get me wrong. I'm not targeting the mermaids." Matthew emphasized, "I'm targeting all of you organic civilizations with advanced intelligence."

"..." I couldn't understand what he was saying at all.

"Takumi, what Matthew means is that he hates humans too." Youxiang explained, and then said, "But it's okay. He has been like this for more than a day or two, so don't worry about him. By the way, just now Takumi said that he came to find friends ...Is it okay to stay on board?"

"Um, um...should..." Takumi's expression darkened when he thought of this, and he said, "Even if I find a friend, I will go to the Chambord Islands...Maybe it won't hurt her... ..."

"It's very dangerous for a mermaid to go to the Chambord Islands." Matthew said, "According to the information I investigated...Human bad habits are tacitly tolerated on that island. Slave trading is prevalent, and mermaids and murlocs But it can sell high-priced hot items. There are many people on the island who are doing that kind of business."

Slave... By the way, when he was caught in Zephenia, that man also said that he would take himself to the Chambord Islands to sell... Youxiang thought of this, and thought it should be a very good job. place, I didn't expect...

"That's what it means..." Takumi hugged his small backpack tightly, and said, "But I have to go to the auction there. There are things that have to be recycled!"

"Auction?" Matthew said. "A friend or something was taken away?"

"No...not a murloc or mermaid friend, nor a human being." Takumi said softly, "Although it is also an important friend to me...but it is a knife."

"Crafts?"

"Uh, uh... It's an old knife. I found it at the bottom of the sea when I was very young. In a human shipwreck." Takumi replied, "Sounds silly! But, but he is for me A very important person, so...that...when he was stolen, I..."

Has something important been stolen and taken to an auction... that's too much.Youxiang said: "I'm not stupid at all. If someone did something like this to my important thing, I would come all the way to beat him up! Now Takumi don't have to worry, if he goes to the island with the captain, No one will dare to catch you!"

"That's right..." Takumi smiled, and he said, "Thank you, Youxiang. It's just that you were so kind to me when we first met. I thought that humans would hate us, so I was a little nervous."

"It is true that there will be a lot of bad people, but there are also good people!" Youxiang also laughed, and she said, "Of course there is also the type that everyone hates like Matthew~"

"Hahaha... yes, I can feel relieved." Takumi relaxed a little, and he said, "It's really lucky to meet you, Youxiang."

"I'm a little embarrassed when you say that." Youxiang said, "I also feel very lucky to be able to see Takumi... Okay! Let's go eat something! Ah yes, can you walk?"

"Ah... I can barely stand up! But I will walk a little slowly!"

"Let Frey hold you."

"Hey, hey?! Is that a man's name? No, no, it's strange!"

"It's okay, Frey is not human."

"What?"
