Chapter 341 Return
...
"Captain, we are just ordinary humans. Although we have improved our physical fitness through exercise and diet, we are still far behind. Not to mention compared with perverts like Wilbur Barrett, we are still far inferior to the children of the Duffy tribe. Wouldn't it be a waste to give us such a strong devil fruit?"
Mosan said with a smile.
"No, no, no. Compared to physical fitness, developing this fruit may require more brains. In addition, the power of this devil fruit is quite dangerous and strange, and requires the user to have a calm mind, otherwise it is easy to hurt friendly forces. You two happen to be mature and calm people with good brains, so I think no one is more suitable for this ability than you."
"Okay, it's decided. I'm leaving now. You guys can decide who gets to eat it. Don't worry too much about it. There will be other powerful devil fruits in the future anyway."
After saying this, Gel put the big mushroom on the table and walked out.
Out of curiosity, Mosan and Funi both wanted to know what this devil fruit, which was said to be more unpalatable than shit, tasted like, so they decided to take a bite at the same time. As for who would get the power, it was up to fate.
"Nonsence!"
"Bah bah bah!"
The two took a bite and spit it out almost at the same time.
...
Captain Gul stayed in Fishman Island for almost half a month. To be more precise, he stayed in the mermaid cafe and mermaid massage parlor for half a month. His bones were sore from the massage.
In recent days, Fishman Island has been as lively as celebrating some major festival because of the visit of the fleet of the Bra Chamber of Commerce, which has brought many new things that have never been seen, eaten or experienced to this deep-sea kingdom that lacks new things.
Under the personal leadership of the king and queen, the mermen and mermaids also showed their friendliest side.
The happy mermaids are really happy, and Captain Gul is also really making money.
...
The first batch of more than 50 merchant ships arrived. After unloading the cargo, they took the time to coat the cargo and reload the specialties of Fishman Island. Then they boarded the first batch of Fishman sailors and their families who were preparing to live on land, as well as more than 2000 Fishman children from Fishman Street. When everything was ready, the caravan planned to return.
...
"Wow! So awesome! Is this our Chamber of Commerce's fleet? It's so spectacular! Toss~!"
On the deck of a merchant ship.
A group of little murlocs were chasing each other with sticks, playing a war game.
"Captain Toth! Pirates spotted ahead! They're the Beardless Pirates!"
"Oh? Guys! Move forward at full speed! Destroy them! Let them see how powerful our new fishmen are! Kill! Swish! Swish!!"
The little murloc Toss shouted happily, he was so lucky in the rock-paper-scissors game this time, he won all the way, and finally it was his turn to play the role of the murloc captain of the "righteous side". Toss excitedly raised a wooden stick and led a group of half-grown murlocs to rush towards the unlucky guys who were drawn to play the bad guys!
"Hahahaha! Justice will eventually triumph over evil! Surrender, bad guys! You don't have any chance now that you've met me!!"
Toth shouted happily.
"Hey, hey, hey, you're almost done, Toss, it's just acting, why are you still holding me so tightly? Damn it! It's our turn to play the fish-man hero!"
The skinny fishman who was held by Toss by the neck said dissatisfiedly.
...
"Hey, it's you, Hodi! Come and play!"
Toss suddenly saw his old friend Hodie Jones squatting in a corner and practicing boxing, so he ran over and invited him enthusiastically.
The great white shark Hody Jones raised his head and said with a look of disgust:
"No! I don't want to be as childish as you guys! You actually have time to play such boring games! Don't bother me, I want to work hard to become stronger and grow into a powerful fishman as soon as possible! To contribute to the rise of the fishmen! I want to help Boss Gel like Brother Jinbei and Brother Arlong did!"
Toss and the other fish-men imps all scratched their heads in embarrassment.
While you are at the same age as me, playing in the mud and peeing on the roadside, your friends are spending three years preparing for the college entrance exam.
"Hodi! I also want to work hard to become stronger, please train with me!"
Toss also felt embarrassed to continue playing the war game, especially since it was his turn to play the bad guy and get beaten up, so he stood aside without hesitation and started exercising with Hodie Jones.
The others were also deeply inspired. They dropped their small wooden sticks, got into position, and imitated Hodie Jones's movements, and all began to practice.
...
On the deck of one of the merchant ships, two mermaids were lying on the side of the ship, talking excitedly and nervously.
"Lusa, have you met Boss Gel?"
The blonde mermaid Chloe asked.
"Yes, even though I only saw him from a distance, I can't mistake it, it's him! It's really him! It's Lord Geer who saved me and Brother Ha Qiu! I will never forget that face! Thank you for telling me such important news! Sister Ke Luo."
The young mermaid at the side said with an infatuated look on her face.
"Yeah, that's good. By the way, Lusa, what kind of job are you going to do when you get there?"
"Hmm? Work? I haven't decided yet. But my brother has been selected to be a sailor on a merchant ship. I heard that he is a captain with very good salary. He doesn't even have a partner. I am his only relative. It is no problem for him to support a sister like me for the time being. By the way, you don't have a partner either, right, Sister Luo? Would you like to consider my brother? I heard that everyone can get their own house after they get there. In addition, with his current job, the conditions are pretty good and he is also an honest person."
Lusa took the opportunity to promote her business.
"Ah! This? Brother Ha Qiu is indeed a nice guy. Oh no, why are you suddenly saying this?"
Ke Luo's cheeks felt a little hot, so she had to quickly change the subject and asked.
"By the way, since you don't know what to do anyway, would you consider working at my massage parlor? Boss Gel wants me to open a mermaid massage parlor when I get there, and he said he'd come often, ok?"
"Really? That's great. No! I mean, I'll go to your place to help you! But Sister Luo, you must teach me your massage skills! From now on, I'll call you Master!"
"... "
The girls chatted and laughed, which diluted a lot of sadness of leaving their homeland. The two looked at the caravan with flags flying, and their hearts were full of tension and expectation for the unknown life.
...
Mosan and Funi will temporarily stay in Fishman Street to coordinate some follow-up work. Tom's brother, Dan, also needs to stay to guide the remaining unfinished construction of Fishman Street. Moriah wants to stay to collect some pirate corpses and shadows. After all, it is now difficult to encounter pirates who come to the door on their own initiative when sailing with merchant ships. The pirates who can come to Fishman Island, the last stop of the first half of the Grand Line, have at least been screened through layers of screening and have good strength, so Moriah decided to seize the opportunity to import a batch of good goods.
After everything was arranged, Gel led the rest of the people to return to the Bird's Nest.
The caravan was huge, and there were even more people from Fishman Island who came to see them off. Otohime, who was standing at the front of the team, and Neptune, who was holding the two little princes, both had smiles on their faces.
"Okay, we'll go back first. No need to see you off. Why are you being so polite? Come up for tea when you have time. I'll invite you to see the real forest and breathe the fresh air. You can look and breathe as much as you want. All you can do!"
Ger said generously.
"Then it's settled! I will definitely visit you when the next caravan returns. Mr. Geer, please don't blame us for disturbing you then!"
Princess Otohime said with a smile.
