Chapter 568 Mermaid Island’s Super Idol Wood

As for Fish-Man Island, as the first reunion after two years, Fish-Man Island is also the first stop for the Straw Hats to reunite. It is also the first stop for them to enter the new world in the second half of the Grand Line.

Because they had helped the mermaid Kemi before, after the Straw Hats came to Fish-Man Island, they were not disliked and rejected by the residents here like other pirates.

Xiangji has been suffering from endless nosebleeds since he landed on the island, so he was left on the boat to be taken care of by Chopper. As for the others, Kemi and Starfish Papago are leading everyone to visit the Fish-Man Island.

The geographical structure of Fish-Man Island is a huge double-layered semicircular bubble shield surrounding the entire island, with an air layer between the two layers of shields.

Although it is under the deep sea, there is also sky and clouds. Because the giant tree Sun Tree Eve growing near Fish-Man Island can transmit sunlight from the ground to Fish-Man Island, the Fish-Man Island located in the deep sea will have changes in sunlight and day and night.

Therefore, for apartments in the sea, the top floor where there is light is the most expensive, while the rent on the floor closest to the seabed is the cheapest.

The total population of Fishman Island is about 5 million, mainly composed of fishmen and mermaids. However, due to different living habits, mermaids and fishmen live in different areas.

At this moment, Nami and others are in the Marin Shopping Center in the southwest of Fish-Man Island. There are the extremely famous Mermaid Cafe, Coral Apartment, Mermaid Bay, and Fish-Man Island's first-class Yufuli Mountain Villa and other buildings.

Fishman Island is also known as the Undersea Paradise. In addition to being extremely rich in various aquatic products, the shopping street also has many special costumes.

When Nami and the others arrived here, they could hardly move. The dazzling array of clothes and jewelry made Nami stop the idea of ​​continuing the tour, and she decided to satisfy her shopping desire before continuing. Take a tour of Fishman Island.

Originally, Luffy and Zoro had some objections to this, but when Nami rarely gave Luffy and Zoro several thousand beli as pocket money and asked them to eat and drink, the two people instantly fell in love with each other. No more comments.

That's okay. I originally wanted to take you to see the Geelong Cord Square. Since Fish-Man Island is so big that you can't finish it in a short while, I'll take Sister Nami to see the trendy clothes of Fish-Man Island first. alright.

Speaking of which, if you want to buy clothes, you still have to go to Papak's store. After all, he is the top clothing designer on Fish-Man Island.

When she heard what Kemi said, Nami's eyes couldn't help but light up. She never thought that the humble starfish next to Kemi was actually a big boss.

It's easy to say that she is one of our own. If there is a reasonable opportunity to have sex for free, Nami will naturally not be polite.

She was so happy that she even decided not to charge interest on the thousands of beli she lent to Luffy and Zoro.

That's right, it's no less difficult for Nami to willingly take out the Bailey in her hand than to become the Pirate King. Before, she would proudly take out the Bailey and give it to Luffy and the others to eat and drink. She just borrowed it and returned it. Interest is calculated.

But now that she was in a good mood, she mercifully didn't care about the interest.

Is this the most popular and best-selling clothing on your Fish-Man Island?

Nami's eyes widened when she looked at the various expensive and novel designs of dresses in front of her at the Papak's famous clothing store in Fishfordly Hills. However, when she saw the patterns on the clothes, her original excitement was instantly dampened. .

What's wrong, are you dissatisfied with the clothes I designed? You know that what you have in front of you now are all my proud works.

If you hadn't helped Kemi in the Shampoo Islands, I wouldn't have brought you here.

For an excellent designer, questioning is the biggest insult to them, and Nami's expression at this moment obviously made Papak quite unhappy.

Yes, Sister Nami, Papak is a very powerful designer on Fish-Man Island. Even the sisters in Mermaid Bay like the clothes here.

Seeing the angry Papak, Kemi quickly stood up and acted as a peacemaker and explained to Nami.

No, no, no, I'm not dissatisfied with Papak's design. To be honest, the clothes here are the most innovative and beautiful ones I have seen since I went to sea.

What puzzles me is why do these beautiful clothes have more or less such patterns, or the pattern of a man?

Nami was really confused. Even from her aesthetic point of view, there was nothing wrong with the clothes designed by Papak. But what puzzled her was that the patterns and patterns on the clothes were from Papak. Parker's own branding?

Otherwise, adding these patterns would really seem unnecessary to Nami. At least in her opinion, these clothes would be more beautiful without those patterns.

You really don't understand the goods. The clothes I design here sell well just because these patterns are the best.

Papak, Nami doesn't live on Fish-Man Island, so she doesn't understand the meaning of these patterns, so don't be angry.

Looking at Nami who was still confused next to her, the mermaid Kemi could only explain again: Sister Nami, what you see on the clothes are these strange patterns, but they are actually the logo of Wood Arms Company and the Sun Pirates. flag, as well as the pattern of Boss Wood.

On our side of Fish-Man Island, you may not know King Neptune of Fish-Man Island, but you must know Boss Wood.

He is the hero of the entire Fish-Man Island and the benefactor of the entire Fish-Man Island. Even the cruel and unruly fish-men respect Boss Wood with utmost respect.

“Both the fish-men and mermaids are discriminated against by humans on land, and the conflict between the fish-men and humans has been going on for a long time.

But thanks to the efforts of Princess Otohime and Boss Wood, many islands have now begun to accept the fishmen.

Especially the Dark Island, which is said to be also known as the second Fishman Island, is a paradise for the mermaids and fishmen. The humans and fishmen there can not only live and work together, but even become friends without any barriers. , is the place that all fishmen and mermaids yearn for the most.

Fish-Man Island is protected by Wood Weapons Company. Because of the reputation of the ancient weapon Wood, the slave traders did not dare to capture the merfolk and fish-men without restraint. Therefore, on Fish-Man Island, Boss Wood is the idol of all residents. .

If we talk about reputation, among the entire Fishman Island, the one with the highest reputation is definitely not Boss Tiger, Princess Otohime or King Neptune, but Boss Wood.

“The reason why Papac’s clothes are designed like this is because the residents of Fish-Man Island like and admire Boss Wood, so clothes like this are the best-selling ones.

If, as Sister Nami, you said, all these patterns are removed, then the residents of Fish-Man Island will not buy it at all, and even Papak's clothing store will close down soon.

If you really don't like these patterns, you can ask Papac to make some new ones for you, but if you do what you just did, you must not say it again, otherwise you will become the target of public criticism on Fish-Man Island.

What Kemi said is really not an exaggeration. More than ten years have passed, and Wood has done so many things to help Fish-Man Island that many people on Fish-Man Island now even refer to Wood. Worship it as a faith.

If what Nami just said was heard by some radicals on Fish-Man Island, it is not ruled out that they will really take some drastic actions.

“Did you not expect that Wood’s popularity on Mermaid Island would reach this level?

Let’s go find Luffy and the others quickly, I’m worried they will cause some trouble for me…”

Nami never thought before that Wood's reputation could reach this level on Mermaid Island, and that they might even be ostracized just because of one word.

Although they, the Straw Hats, had a pretty good relationship with Wood and there was no possibility of slandering each other, Nami felt something was wrong in her heart at this moment.

As for the other side, Xiangji, who originally suffered from excessive bleeding, struggled to fulfill his dream in the spirit of Lao Sepi, so he finally came to his dream place - Mermaid Bay.

This is where the largest number of mermaid ladies gather on Fish-Man Island, and Xiangji, as a veteran, completely lets himself go here.

At the beginning, because the mermaid girls knew Kemi and heard Kemi say that the Straw Hats had rescued her, they had a rather kind attitude towards the Straw Hats.

However, when Xiangzhi also noticed that the mermaid girls in Mermaid Bay were all wearing clothes related to Wood, and they were very obsessed with Wood both inside and outside their words, the old pervert couldn't help but say some bad things about Wood. .

And it was because of these bad words that the mermaid ladies, who had been quite friendly towards the Straw Hats, suddenly left with disappointed expressions.

However, the lucky thing is that these mermaid ladies who left encountered wet-haired Caribu who was mistakenly brought to Fish-Man Island by the Straw Hat gang on the way.

Caribu, the swamp fruit power user, secretly captured all these mermaid ladies, which made the Straw Hats completely suspects.

First it was Miss Charlie's prophecy, then some members of the Straw Hats made rude remarks to Boss Wood, and then the mermaid ladies who had been in contact with the Straw Hats disappeared inexplicably.

Everything was pointed at the Straw Hats, so of course, the Straw Hats were quickly wanted by Ryugu Castle!

Luffy and Zoro, who were still eating and drinking in the Mermaid Shopping Street, saw the Ryugu Castle guards who were planning to arrest them. They thought the other party was looking for trouble, and they fought directly with them.

Such actions also escalated conflicts that were originally unclear, causing the Straw Hats to become the public enemies of Fish-Man Island.

Nami, who was also surrounded at this moment, did not expect that she would go shopping for clothes while her ominous premonition came true so quickly.

Although Kemi and Papak kept explaining on the side, they had no status in Fish-Man Island. Prince Shark Star was not willing to believe what they said, so he directly captured Nami and took her back to Ryugu City.

The only female navigator of the Straw Hat Pirates has been captured. How can the Straw Hat Pirates give up? This is like poking a hornet's nest. The Straw Hats have gathered together again and are ready to clear the copy of Ryugu Castle and rescue themselves. companion.

At the same time, on the Fishman Street side of Fishman Island, Hody Jones of the New Fishman Pirate Group has also summoned a large number of fishmen to discuss how to dethrone King Neptune from the throne. Take complete control of Fishman Island.

Hody Jones is a great white shark who was originally a guard of Ryugu Castle. However, when Princess Otohime was assassinated, he became completely disappointed with humanity and gradually grew into an extreme racist.

Although Princess Otohime and Tiger did not die in this world due to Wood's interference, Hody Jones's hatred of human beings has long been buried deep in his heart, and has gradually grown into a huge towering tree.

Although Princess Otohime has made many efforts to live in harmony with humans, not only giving various speeches, but also adopting many orphans from humans and fishmen in an attempt to change their ideas in the new generation.

Over the years, Princess Otohime's efforts have been somewhat successful. However, this does not mean that all fishmen can understand Princess Otohime's approach.

Just like the New Fishman Pirates that Hody Jones currently belongs to, the people in this pirate group are all extremely prejudiced against humans and are even true racial extremists.

The members of the New Fish-Man Pirates admire Tiger and Fish-Man Aaron from the Sun Pirates and regard them as their idols.

However, many years ago, Hody Jones felt that their idols had changed. The former Tigers and Aarons were just like them, extremely hating human beings. But since that man appeared, everything began to change. .

In the opinion of Hody Jones, the current Fishman Island is terminally ill. The fishmen and mermaids on the island have forgotten their glory as advanced races and actually regard a human as their spiritual sustenance and idol. This is simply Hopeless behavior.

That's right, the Fish-Man Island now is indeed much more peaceful than before. After that man's flag was hung, the pirates who came to the island did not dare to act as recklessly as before.

But so what, what is the difference between their Fish-Man Island and the so-called puppets now? In other words, she was completely reduced to an appendage under that man.

Compared to those weak humans, the fish-men tribe is obviously a unique tribe. With their powerful strength and talents, why should they look up to others?

If you want to protect Fishman Island, why do you need to rely on human power? Can't they do it themselves?

Princess Otohime, Boss Tiger, and King Neptune were all deceived by that human being. If this continues, sooner or later the compatriots on Fishman Island will be tamed into obedient efforts. This is Hody Jones. , and the thoughts of other members of the New Fish-Man Pirates.

Of course, this is just an excuse for their publicity. The reason why the New Fish-Man Pirates are preparing to occupy Fish-Man Island is largely because they all hate human beings.
