Chapter 76 Fishman Island

"Dr. Sidilier, we still have a mission to perform and can't accompany you any longer. When you need to return, you can come directly to the naval base in the Sabaody Archipelago and we will be responsible for sending you back."

The people were taken over by the navy, so they will naturally be responsible for sending them back, but Orlan has to go to Fishman Island halfway, which is a bit special.

Fishman Island is located 10,000 meters deep in the sea. It is the country with the lowest average altitude among the known countries and the one with the most special surrounding environment.

The Red Earth Continent cuts the Grand Line into two parts. If the navy wants to go to the New World, they usually change ships but not people, and cross the Red Earth Continent in Marijoa, so the navy rarely goes to Fishman Island.

But pirates can't do that. They can't pass through Marijoa. Except for a very small number of people who have the ability to fly, their only way is to go to the New World underwater through Fishman Island.

This brings endless troubles to Fishman Island.

Due to the extremely chaotic magnetic field in the Grand Line, navigation here requires relying on recording pointers.

It is a special spherical compass, which records the magnetic attraction between islands to guide the direction of the next island.

So every time you arrive at an island, you have to spend a few hours to a few months to fill the record of the compass, so that you can set off to the next island.

The Sabaody Archipelago itself is a tree island composed of countless mangroves, and it does not have this kind of magnetic force. Therefore, when you arrive near this place, the target of the record pointer is Fishman Island.

The magnetic field of the New World is more chaotic than the magnetic field in the first half of the Grand Line. The original pointer will fail there, so an upgraded version of the pointer with three routes on a needle disk is needed, only in this way will you not get lost in the New World.

This has caused Fishman Island to become a transit station that pirates cannot bypass. Almost no pirate is willing to choose to bypass Fishman Island and go directly to the New World through the crack under the Red Earth Continent at the cost of navigation safety.

Fishman Island has also gained material exchanges from the ground with this geographical advantage, and selling new record pointers is also one of Fishman Island’s businesses.

Many pirates who were like young and inexperienced did not know that the record pointer had to be upgraded before this.

This also applies to the protagonist team of the original timeline. To this day, we still don’t know what Rayleigh did in the past two years besides laying the foundation, which made the Straw Hat Pirates lack the necessary knowledge of the new world.

However, most of the pirates are representatives of disorder. The flow of pirates can bring economic changes, but also huge risks. Judging from the recent situation of Fishman Island, they did not grasp this risk.

In other words, their military force and policy guidelines cannot afford this business.

There are many strong pirates, but Fishman Island is under the deep sea of ​​10,000 meters. Humans must rely on bubble membranes to fight against the deep sea, but fishmen and mermaids don’t need to.

In their own home environment, they were overwhelmed by pirates. If it were those monster-like guys, it would be fine, but in fact, the pirates who could reach Fishman Island could bring huge troubles to Fishman Island.

In the eyes of humans, Fishman Island is a soft persimmon that can be bullied at will. The royal family of Fishman Island must bear some responsibility for being in such a mess. In Oran's opinion, they are too weak.

But this kind of weakness may be more beneficial to Oran.

It is better to lean on a big tree for shade. The navy basically does not go to Fishman Island, but it does not mean that they have no way to go. With the help of the navy, Oran quickly boarded a favorable merchant ship and headed to the deep-sea Fishman Island.

Wherever there is interest, there are always merchants, and Fishman Island is such an example.

The deep-sea environment allows Fishman Island to be self-sufficient, but the products on the ground can always be sold at a good price there.

As the ship dives, the light gradually disappears, and the darkness of the deep sea begins to surround the ship. The sailors on the ship are very skilled, and no one is curious about the outside environment. It seems that this is not the first time to go down.

At this time, a man dressed as a captain came over.

"This guy, is this your first time to Fishman Island?"

Olan is well-known in the academic circle, but outsiders don't know him. Most of them just heard in the newspaper that he is a very good doctor with many achievements. Apart from that, they don't know much about Orlan, including his appearance.

He took the initiative to come over, just because he thought Orlan was a person with connections. If the navy could find a ship, his background must be very impressive.

I was just sitting there doing nothing on the ship, and if I could talk about something valuable, I would make a profit.

"Well, what's the matter?"

"Nothing, just a reminder that the sea is not peaceful, so be careful. Although the Ryugu Kingdom is a member of the alliance, it is no different from a lawless place."

About 170 years ago, the Ryugu Kingdom officially became a member of the alliance, but this thing is more like a face-saving project. Apart from the equality in the mouth of the World Government, it has no meaning.

Fishman Island is still the same. Pirates passing by want to make a fortune here. Young female mermaids have always been a hot commodity in the population market.

The conflict between races continues to deepen.

"Is Fishman Island in chaos now?"

At this time, Orlan knew nothing about the situation of Fishman Island at this point in time. He knew that after the Great Pirate Era began, Fishman Island faced the worst environment, and it was only with the protection of Whitebeard's flag that the predicament was resolved.

But according to the man in front of him, it doesn't seem to be much better now.

"It's okay near the royal city. Saturn's Sea King Army maintains the most basic order. Saturn is the king of the Dragon Palace Kingdom now. That guy doesn't like humans very much, but he won't order his men to attack humans.

Remote places are different, especially Fishman Street. That place is different from Fishman Island. Many of the fishmen living there are extremely hostile to humans. It's best not to get close to that place."

Fishman Street is part of Fishman Island. It was originally a place to adopt orphans. However, as time passed, the lack of management made it an illegal place on Fishman Island.

And Fishman Street is not in the huge bubble membrane of Fishman Island. It is located on the west side of Fishman Island, on a submarine plain outside the bubble membrane. The environment is much worse than that inside Fishman Island.

"So, hiring fishmen now is a very troublesome thing."

From the captain's mouth, Orlan roughly understood the current situation of Fishman Island, which is more complicated than he thought.

Orlan had three things to do when he came to Fishman Island this time. The first was to bring some gifts back to Leliana. This child is not picky about anything, but he loves to eat. The desserts in Fishman Island are a good choice.

Second, as the development plan is on track, Orlan's demand for resources is also increasing. He wants to hire a group of fishmen to explore the underwater resources for him.

The third is to see Shark. After all, he promised to come to Fishman Island to take a look, and he still has to do it. He can't let Shark wait for "twenty-two years" like Pidgeot in Evergreen Forest.
