Chapter 588: Leopard Hide
In fact, Zhang Da could also not go to Fishman Island. He could pass through the small hole under the Red Soil Continent and float directly up to the New World.
But because they had to wait for Jinbe's help to find the Permanent Pointer, and Zhang Da also promised Shirahoshi that he would bring Wendy and the others to see her before going to the New World, so they still had to stay at Fishman Island.
“Help! Help!”
Before the Ryugujo and Amber reached the shore, everyone heard someone shouting, "Someone stop him! Bao Zang has gone crazy!"
On the coast of Fishman Island, people were fleeing in all directions. An octopus mermaid was chasing them, waving eight knives and hacking at them. He had a wine gourd hanging on his shoulder and his face was flushed with drunkenness.
"No... don't run... hiccup~ I... I am the strongest swordsman... hiccup~"
"It's Bao Zang, the blue-ringed octopus mermaid. He's an eight-sword swordsman. His attacks are often poisonous. He's the best swordsman on Fishman Island."
Bao Zang is an octopus mermaid, not an octopus fishman. His upper body is human and his lower body is octopus feet, which is completely different from Xiao Ba.
To put it more vividly, he is probably Luo Mouxiang in The Mermaid .
Jinbei was not in a hurry to subdue Baozang because someone had already taken action.
"Shui Xin·Hai Liu Over Shoulder Throw!"
A column of water flew out from the sea and headed straight for Baozangmianmen.
Bao Zang was not in a hurry. He burped and used his octopus legs to hold eight knives and danced with them in turn, splitting the water column in front of him one by one.
The real attack only arrived at this time: "Poseidon Impact!"
It was Aladdin, the vice-captain of the Sun Pirates. His first move, the Sea Stream Shoulder Throw, was just a feint, and it was also a way to clean the venom off the Leopard Sword as much as possible.
While Bao Zang was dealing with the current, Aladdin took advantage of the mermaid's swimming speed, rushed out of the water quickly, and stabbed Bao Zang with the three-pronged fork in his hand.
Bao Zang used his sword to block, but the huge force of Aladdin's thrust knocked eight swords away and the trident stabbed directly into his neck.
Aladdin probably didn't intend to kill anyone, so he moved his hands slightly and used the gap between the forks to clamp Bao Zang's neck, nailing him directly to the ground.
Bao Zang's neck was hit hard and he almost fainted. He subconsciously used his octopus legs to wrap around the trident and tried to pull it out, but he was unconscious and had difficulty breathing, so he had no strength at all.
Aladdin ignored him and waited with his arms folded for Jinbe, Otohime and the others to reach the shore.
Someone panicked and brought over several wounded people: "Master Aladdin, someone is injured and has been poisoned by Baozang!"
Aladdin was not only the deputy captain, but also the ship's doctor. He checked the injured man's condition and said, "Rinse the wound immediately with water. Don't worry, you will be saved soon."
In fact, being poisoned by Bao Zang's poison would usually result in a direct death sentence, but he knew that there was a "Sky Priestess" in the Amber Travel Group who had magical healing powers, so there might be a way.
When the two boats reached the shore, Wendy ran over as soon as she saw the injured man and asked anxiously, "He's been poisoned. Do you need help?"
"Please," Aladdin said.
Wendy nodded and began to help heal the wounds and remove the poison.
Zhang Da didn't go either. He had to hold down Altria to prevent her from chopping the octopus mermaid.
"Princess Otohime, welcome back!"
"Shark Star Prince!"
"Boss Jinbe!"
Because of what had just happened, there were not many people on the shore and the cheers were not as enthusiastic as before.
Fortunately, Yiji did n't care about these things. Instead, she watched Wendy treating the wounded with concern. When she realized that she couldn't see anything, she asked, "Mr. Aladdin, what's going on?"
Aladdin explained, "Bao Zang used to like drinking and causing trouble when he was in Fishman Street. After Fishman Street was renovated, he didn't dare to do anything because Jinbei was restraining him. This time, he probably took advantage of Jinbei's absence and went crazy under the influence of alcohol."
Aladdin used to follow Tiger together with Jinbe, and his status and qualifications were equal to Jinbe and Arlong, so he was not respectfully addressed as "Boss" like other fishmen.
"How could this happen? Is it because we didn't care enough about the indigenous people of Fishman Street?" Princess Otohime began by reflecting on herself.
Jinbei quickly said, "Please don't say that. You and His Majesty Neptune have done enough. All our compatriots who left Fishman Street are living well. Bao Zang has never been a quiet person. It's not your fault!"
Aladdin also said: "That's right, we will teach him a lesson for what happened today. Of course, we will send him to the Left Minister for conviction first."
"Okay, then bandage the wound and rest for a while." Wendy wiped the sweat from her forehead, not because she was tired but because she was nervous. Detoxification was more energy-consuming than ordinary treatment. Fortunately, there was no mistake.
"Thank you! Thank you very much!" The person who was carrying the injured person saw his friend's expression relax and hurriedly expressed his gratitude.
Aladdin exclaimed, "What an incredible ability."
"I'm sorry to bother you again, Wendy." Otohime smiled gently at Wendy. She had been taken care of by Wendy these days.
"You don't have to be so polite..." Wendy has a good impression of Princess Otohime.
Aladdin had the wounded carried away, and then directed his men to carefully tie up Bao Zang and carry him away.
The octopus mermaid is very slippery all over, so it takes some skill to tie it up. Moreover, this guy is highly poisonous, so you have to be careful.
After finishing what he had to do, Aladdin bowed solemnly to Zhang Daye as if he had made an important decision: "I apologize for my previous disrespect."
Aladdin had been a slave before, so he didn't have a good impression of humans. When he first met Zhang Daye and the others, he didn't give them a good look.
However, as Jinbe, Princess Otohime and others communicated more with the Amber Travel Group, Aladdin also learned a lot of news about Zhang Tatsuya intentionally or unintentionally.
Afterwards, the fishman Tom, the mermaid Kokoro, the fishman Haku, and other people Aladdin was familiar with also talked a lot about what Zhang Daye and others had done.
Although it is impossible to change Aladdin's opinion of all human beings, at least he no longer has any ill feelings towards this group of people.
"Ah? Why?" If it was a thank you for what happened just now, it would be understandable, but an apology... Zhang Da also remembered that he and Aladdin didn't have much in common, and he hadn't offended him, right?
"It's about your first visit to Fishman Island."
Aladdin talked about the time when he and Jinbe sent Zhang Tatsuya and the others back to Shabaodi, and he treated Zhang Tatsuya and Altria very badly.
There was no Amber at that time, and they were on the ship of the Sun Pirates. Apart from controlling the ship, Aladdin didn't want to communicate with them at all.
"...It feels like it happened a long time ago, right?" Zhang Da also laughed, "Don't worry about it."
"No, if you do something wrong, you must admit it. You have all been so kind to Fishman Island, and I am so rude to you. I am very sorry."
Zhang Da also looked at Jinbei. He felt that this guy was a bit stubborn and wanted Jinbei to say something.
Jinbei smiled and said, "If you're feeling guilty, Tatsuya-san needs your help with something, Aladdin."
"Please go ahead."
Jinbei took the opportunity to assign him the task of finding the Permanent Pointer: "The sooner the better."
"That's easy, I'll be back soon." Aladdin dived into the water.
