Chapter 496 Fishman Island and Whitebeard
"How is it? Have you told your father about Binz's incident?" Zhang Da also asked.
Weiwei nodded. "We talked on the phone a few days ago. Father said he would send an invitation letter to the Navy Headquarters and thanked Brother Tatsuya for recommending him."
Every few days, Vivi would use Den Den Mushi to call Cobra to talk about recent developments and what she had seen, otherwise Cobra would be worried.
Alabasta only has this one heir, so it's a very courageous act for him to let Vivi go out for such a long time. If he doesn't keep track of her movements, Cobra, Ikareem and the others will all go crazy.
"It's just a matter of talking." Zhang Da also said, "By the way, have you missed home after being away for so long?"
"Yes, I'm a little worried about the health of father and Ikareem. Also, Bell and Gaga, they might be overtraining again..." Vivi said embarrassedly, then added a little worriedly, "Is Tatsuya-nii going to send me back?"
"How could that be? I mean that we should travel all seven routes in the paradise. After taking you to Fishman Island this time, we will choose an adjacent route so that we can stop by Alabasta halfway."
Zhang Da had promised Altria long ago that he would travel through all seven routes in the first half of the Grand Line until he found the Boeing Islands.
"Yeah!" Vivi was very happy, but her focus was not on returning to Alabasta. "Are we going to Fishman Island next?"
"Yeah, the last time I went there was more than a year ago. The New World has been so chaotic recently, and I don't know what the situation is like there." Zhang Da had never thought about it before, but now he realized that Fishman Island is located on the main transportation route between Paradise and the New World, and it is estimated that it will be harassed by pirates.
"I can introduce you to Kemi there. She's a mermaid, about your age." Zhang Da thought for a moment and said, "And the mermaid princess Shirahoshi should get along well with you. Although she's younger than you, she's also older than you."
Bai Xing is two years younger than Vivi, but is several times larger than Vivi.
Weiwei didn't know about this matter and was confused by Zhang Da's explanation, talking about small and big things. When asked again, Zhang Da refused to elaborate.
Weiwei stomped her feet angrily and stopped talking to him.
…
The first thing to do when going to Fishman Island is coating. Such an important matter must of course be done in Shampoo Land to find Goodman. Zhang Da also trusts that uncle's craftsmanship and sense of responsibility.
Not only that, Goodman was also very efficient. He completed the task within a day with several of his best workers.
Taking advantage of this time, Zhang Daye and his friends can go buy some things.
Wendy and Perona knew about Kimi and Shirahoshi, so they came with Vivi to ask Zhang Daye what the two girls liked so that they could prepare gifts.
Zhang Daye's answer was: "They are curious about and like most things that are unique to the earth, even a small blade of grass."
This answer is a bit perfunctory, but if you think about it carefully, it seems a bit pitiful.
…
The actual departure for Fishman Island was on the morning of the next day, with Shark Chili piloting the Shark Giant in the front, and the Coated Amber following behind.
In this way, if there is any emergency, the shark giant can deal with it directly, and if there is a troublesome current, the shark giant can also force the Amber to change direction, which is very safe.
As the Amber sank, everyone looked at this rare underwater wonder with curiosity, and exclamations of surprise rang out one after another.
It's ok for people who have never been there to marvel, but even Tom looked like he was seeing this for the first time, it's amazing, and I don't know where his previous memories had gone.
Jackie Chan reached out and touched the film outside the boat. "Just this layer of bubble wrap is more powerful than the most advanced submersible, right? It seems unscientific."
Zhang Da also said: "I have given up on exploring science, otherwise I would feel that even I am unscientific."
Everyone was chatting, and soon, under the leadership of Shark Chili, they found the entrance to the cave under the Red Soil Continent. As long as they entered from there and sailed for a distance, they would be able to see Fishman Island.
Covered by the roots of the Sun Tree Eve, Fishman Island is like a pearl hidden ten thousand meters deep under the sea, quietly bathing in the sun.
The huge double bubble continues to protect Fishman Island, and the schools of fish swimming around it are like the guardians of this underwater miracle.
"That's... Fishman Island!" The eyes of several little girls were shining, and their four little faces were stuck on the bubble wrap, making Uncle Long worried that they would fall out.
The ferocious shark giant scared the guards at the entrance of Fishman Island. Fortunately, Shark Chili put away the shark giant in time and went to the door to say hello, so they did not sound the alarm.
"It's Mr. Shark Pepper! If you look closely, the person on that boat isn't..."
"That's right, it's Mr. Tatsuya and the others. Isn't that flag and statue Mr. Tom? There's no mistake. Quick, open the passage!"
The guard turned the valve, and another one contacted Ryugu Castle. These were the heroes who saved Princess Otohime and were honored guests.
Shark Chili and Amber entered the entrance of Fishman Island one after another. The bubble membranes on the ships were sucked away by the bubble shield of Fishman Island due to unknown reasons, but there is no need to worry, because inside the shield are normal islands and bays on the sea.
"This is incredible!" Jackie Chan took a deep breath, "This is the air 10,000 meters below the sea..."
"Those two guards have very unique looks." Ye Yan was immediately attracted by the appearance of the two fishman guards. They were the unique costumes of Fishman Island, so it seemed necessary to experience them.
Perona held a small umbrella in one hand and put the other hand in front of her eyes, looking around. She couldn't help but release a few little ghosts to explore the way.
Weiwei, Wendy, and Xia Lulu also looked around curiously, occasionally making "wow" sounds in surprise.
Shark Chili, who had come in first, was already chatting with the guards. Zhang Da also noticed that one of the guards had a bandage on his head and couldn't help but ask, "Excuse me, what happened on the island? What's the matter with that injury?"
The guard said, "Ah, that's nothing serious. I was a little careless when fighting against the pirates. I'm fine now."
Shark Chili asked, "Are there a lot of pirates lately? How's Mr. Jinbe?"
The guard replied, "Indeed, there are a lot. About two or three months ago, the number of pirates coming from the New World and Paradise suddenly increased. Fortunately, we have Boss Jinbe here."
Another guard said, "And after the Whitebeard Pirates arrived a few days ago, we suddenly felt much more relaxed..."
"Hey!" The guard next to him patted him and reminded him in a low voice, "How can you talk about the Whitebeard Pirates so casually!"
"Ah...but if it's Tatsuya-san, it's okay, right?"
"You idiot, it's precisely because of Mr. Tatsuya and the others that you can't say anything! They are the ones who saved the princess, and Whitebeard is the one who protected Fishman Island. Mr. Tatsuya and the others are famous for catching pirates, and I heard they've been with the navy for the past six months!"
As he spoke, the guard's expression gradually changed: "If Mr. Tatsuya and his crew come into conflict with the Whitebeard Pirates, both sides are benefactors. What should we do then?"
It was too late to remind them at this time. Zhang Da was also quite good at catching key words. He asked, "Are the Whitebeard Pirates here?"
The quick-talking guard began to sweat on his forehead, as if he had gotten into trouble...
