Chapter 170
The year 1512 in the Haiyuan calendar is a very memorable year.
This year, the future [straw hat] Luffy ate the rubber fruit, and [red hair] Shanks lost his arm.
This year, Luffy got acquainted with Ace and Sabo, and the three brothers became sworn brothers. Then Sabo was bombarded by the Tianlong people and joined the Revolutionary Army after amnesia;
It was also this year that the Sun Pirates led by Tiger met Kerla, a little human girl.
If the normal future develops, after sending Kerra back to her hometown, Tiger will be betrayed by humans, be rounded up by the navy, and eventually die for refusing human blood, and the Sun Pirates will fall apart.
But now, because of a certain man's words, other possibilities appeared.
In the same year, a man wearing a black fur coat and a golden hook in his left hand landed on Murloc Island.
...
Fishman Island - a fantastic island located below the holy land of Mary Gioia, at a depth of 10,000 meters under the sea.
This is the place where pirates must pass to reach the new world. It is also the birthplace of most murlocs and mermaids. It is known as "Undersea Paradise".
Ships that want to come here usually have to cover their hulls in the Chambord Islands, and they can reach here safely by sailing with currents.
Because of some historical issues related to race, many murlocs and mermaids are more or less hostile to humans. Although they will not do it openly because of the law, there will be some troubles to some extent.
But excluding this point, from the perspective of humanities, scenery, food, etc., Fishman Island is indeed one of the dream islands that a person must visit in this life.
Therefore, if a human being is strong enough, it is also a good choice to come to Murloc Island to relax occasionally.
However, it should be noted that no matter how strong you are, you must not run amok on Murloc Island, let alone capture fishmen and sell them as slaves.
To be more precise, except for some desperate young people, no one in this sea would dare to mess around on Murloc Island, because a black pirate flag floated above her.
On the skull with a cross as the base, there is a white beard like a crescent moon - that is the symbol of the Whitebeard Pirates.
Fishman Island is an island protected by the Whitebeard Pirates!
...
[Sand Crocodile] Crocodile, one of the Shichibukai, has been very busy recently, and it can even be said that he is so busy that he has a headache.
Two years ago, he used his ability to print half of the Hades design in the capital of seven waters, but because of Aiden Sedia's obstruction, he didn't get the other half from Lynn.
In the past two years, he has been searching and visiting shipbuilders everywhere, but no one can use the half of Hades' design to build a ship.
It is one thing that there are only half of the drawings, and more importantly, the text labels on the drawings are all special ancient characters.
Unless he is a top shipbuilder who can deduce the original meaning of the label based on the above line drawing, otherwise even if he got the complete Pluto design drawing, there is no way to use it.
In this way, his biggest gain in that big event has become a pile of waste paper, of course Crocodile is not reconciled.
But even so, Crocodile still has no good solution, and because of the Seven Water Capital incident, his every move is being monitored by the navy.
Therefore, Crocodile has to spend a lot of thought and circle with the Navy to ensure that they will not find out that they have half of the Hades design in their hands.
tired.
Crocodile frowned and sighed helplessly.
But you can’t do things in a hurry. After thinking about it, Crocodile decided to find an archaeologist who could understand ancient texts.
After several investigations, Crocodile got interesting news.
"Survivor of the Demon Slaughter Order, O'Hara's only remaining blood, [Son of Devil] Nicole Robin?"
he pondered.
At this moment, a revolutionary army suddenly came to the door and delivered a letter to Crocodile.
And when Crocodile opened the letter and read it, he immediately postponed the plan to find Nicole Robin.
Now, his head hurts even more.
The message on it was very short, so short that Crocodile could recognize it at a glance. This letter came from that man's hand.
It says:
"Come to Fishman Island."
Signed: "Lynn Barek."
At the same time, there is a line of small characters after the signature.
Looking at the small print, Crocodile's face was terribly gloomy.
...
A week later, Crocodile came to Fishman Island.
After all, Fishman Island is a country with a large land area and extremely complicated terrain, but Crocodile is not worried about whether he can find people.
He just randomly found a murloc and asked, "Hey, where is the most chaotic area on Murloc Island?"
The murloc thought for a while, and replied: "Two years ago, the most chaotic place was probably Murloc Street, but during this time, those bastards seem to have calmed down a lot."
Crocodile nodded upon hearing this.
Great, found a place.
Then, guided by the murloc, he arrived at the entrance of the murloc street.
This is a relatively dark neighborhood, and facing the humans who came here suddenly, the murloc gangsters entrenched at the gate of Murloc Street naturally surrounded them.
"Hey, hey, this is not a place where humans should come!"
The murloc hooligan yelled while carrying the iron bar: "When we are in a good mood today, hurry up and get out!"
Crocodile only felt a pain in his head and rubbed his temples, "That's too unfortunate, I've been in a bad mood recently."
"Then I'll make you happy!"
The murloc hit Crocodile's shoulder with a stick, and the latter's shoulder immediately melted into sand, fixed the iron bar, and then bounced away at will.
Looking at the terrified eyes of the murlocs, Crocodile stretched out his right hand, ready to turn the murlocs into dried fish.
At this moment, a crimson fist appeared, smashing Crocodile's right hand into a pool of sand.
Crocodile drank his cigar, moved his eyes to the right, and saw a tall red murloc.
Thick curly hair, beard, round eyes, sausage mouth.
Crocodile, who pays attention to intelligence and detection, immediately recognized that the legendary murloc who once climbed up to the holy land of Mary Joa with his bare hands, liberated countless slaves after making a fuss, and was hailed as a hero by the murlocs—
The captain of the Sun Pirates, Fisher Tiger, has a bounty of 230 million Berry!
"Hehehe, it's very interesting."
Crocodile recovered his right arm and looked at Tiger, "Do you want to become a mummy too?"
"I just don't want to cause unnecessary casualties." Tiger directly grabbed the murloc by the collar, picked him up, and threw him aside, "I will punish this bastard, there's no need to do that. ruthless."
"You are so kind, murloc."
Crocodile took a puff of the cigar, and after exhaling the smoke, he suddenly turned his right hand into a gravel machete, stabbed out of the smoke, and went straight to Tiger's neck.
Seeing this, the latter dodged sideways, surrounded by domineering air and water vapor on his right fist, and punched Crocodile's right arm joint.
Crocodile immediately sanded his entire right arm, and at the same time his left leg changed into a gravel scimitar, aiming at Tiger's abdomen and slashing across.
Water droplets condense from Tiger's left hand, which is one of the basic moves of murloc karate unique to the murlocs.
As the water drops fell, Crocodile could only retract his left foot, and retreated with his whole body to avoid getting his body wet.
Both of them are masters who have experienced countless battles, and they have already fought several times on the psychological and realistic levels in the blink of an eye!
"Hehehehe, I'll come and play with you, murloc."
Crocodile's face was gloomy, and a gravel scimitar several times larger than before was condensed on his right arm.
This time, he was extremely upset and wanted to take it seriously.
And at that moment, a two-handed sword fell from the sky, Crocodile reacted instantly, swung the gravel scimitar and slashed at the sword.
There was only a "bang", the big sword was bounced away, and there was a gap in the gravel scimitar.
"That... I don't use domineering, no one should be injured."
A voice that made Crocodile even more unhappy sounded.
He turned his head and looked, as expected, [Black Knight] Aiden Sedia was standing aside, still maintaining the posture of throwing the big sword just now.
Compared to two years ago, Aiden is now a little taller, with a sincere smile on his face, some stubble on his chin, and his broken left arm is still there, without any prosthetics installed.
After seeing Aiden, Crocodile's face became more gloomy, and the gravel surged on his right arm, filling the gap on the scimitar.
"Coincidentally, I still need to settle the debt with you two years ago."
Crocodile glanced across Aiden and Tiger, and gravel surged all over his body.
"Two world-class wanted criminals appeared on Murloc Island at the same time, so I can't ignore it as Shichibukai. The reason is that White Beard can't control me!"
He is worried that he has no place to vent!
Aiden was a little excited when he saw this, and trotted back to take back his big sword. Natural opponents are rare in this sea.
Tiger, on the other hand, was more calm about this, and stopped him: "You two, I was only invited to find someone, please don't cause large-scale riots on Fishman Island."
Aiden nodded when he heard the words, "Coincidentally, I was also invited to find someone."
Then the two turned their attention to Crocodile.
The latter's movements stagnated for a while, and after a while, he lifted his elemental state and nodded.
The three of them took out a letter from their pockets at the same time.
Crocodile was silent for a while, and finally said slowly: "We are looking for... the same person?"
The three of them didn't talk much, but put their letters together.
Although the general content is the same, there are still some differences when it comes to the small print after the signature.
Tiger's letter read: "Come to Fishman Island——I have something to discuss."
Aiden's letter read: "Come to Murloc Island - take you to fight."
Crocodile's letter read: "Come to Fishman Island—if you don't come, just wait for me."
Crocodile: "..."
...
At the same time, Murloc Street was deep.
Surrounded by several younger brothers and Miss Mermaid, a man sitting on a box opened his eyes.
He grinned:
"It's finally here, three, long time no see."
Great! It's the long-lost three thousand words! tap tap tap tap...
