Chapter 118 Ian and the Sun Pirates
Fishmen!
Tiger was stunned.
The ones who blocked their way in the sea were undoubtedly his compatriots!
Even most of these guys looked familiar.
Yes!
They were the guys who were taken away from Fishmen Street by Ian of Fentian and joined the Beast Pirates!
These compatriots, whom he originally wanted to save, now stood in front of him with weapons! Tiger was stunned.
Then he was happy.
Great!
There is no better situation than this!
He was originally looking for them, and now his confidant appeared in front of him!
More importantly, these guys were recruited from Fishman Street by the Beasts Pirates, and he used to be the boss of Fishman Street. It can be said that these guys were all his former subordinates!
Sure enough.
”Brother Tiger! It’s Brother Tiger!”
”And Brother Jinbei is here too! Brother Aladdin is here too!”
”Oh! Is it everyone from the Sun Pirates? All the brothers are coming to Wano Country!”
The fishman troops in the sea that were originally preparing to fight against the strong enemy suddenly became excited.
Tiger used to be the big boss of Fishman Street and the leader of a group of fishman hooligans.
After the Marijoa incident, Tiger became the national idol of Fishman Street.
Even though the fishmen who became the fishmen of the Beasts Pirates were all the scum of Fishmen Street, their admiration for Tiger and the Sun Pirates was no less than that of other fishmen.
Jinbei couldn’t help laughing.
It’s true that you can find it without any effort after searching for it everywhere! ”Fellow countrymen!”
Tiger stepped forward and shouted, “I’m here to pick you up! Come back with us!”
Everyone was shocked when he said this.
Everyone in the fishmen’s army was stunned.
Only Jack, who was standing on the head of a huge sea beast, grinned.
These sea beasts were captured by the fishmen at sea, and then controlled by Baohuang by feeding them dumplings.
Although their strength is much inferior to the beasts captured from Ruskena Island, they can move in the sea. After being equipped with various weapons, they can play a greater role in naval battles than the beasts.
The coast was quiet for more than ten seconds because of Tiger’s speech.
Then, a fishman near the coast finally spoke in surprise, “Brother Tiger, what do you mean by going back? Where are we going back to?”
Tiger was also stunned for a moment, not understanding what these guys meant.
”Of course it’s Fishman Island,”
Tiger said, “We are here to save you and those compatriots who were betrayed by Neptune and others. Where are they? After rescuing them, we will return to Fishman Island together!”
”Fishman Island?”
The people in the fishman army looked at each other.
Then.
“Why do you want to go back to Fishman Island?”
A fishman said, “Brother Tiger, we live very well here! We are free, no one discriminates against us, and we even get a high salary every month.”
Tiger was stunned.
Jinbei was stunned.
Everyone in the Sun Pirates was stunned.
Why, it seems a little different from what they originally imagined.
”In addition,”
another fishman reminded, “Brother Tiger, those compatriots who immigrated here probably won’t follow you back.”
”Their lives are more comfortable than ours. They don’t even have to fight. They just need to work hard. No one will hurt them here. They can enjoy the sunshine and sea breeze to their heart’s content.”
”…”
Tiger opened his mouth and wanted to say something, but for a moment he didn’t know what to say.
Of course he could see that these compatriots were serious. Even if they were lying to deceive him, it was impossible for so many people to act so realistically.
That’s why he felt confused.
Is it true that, as Neptune and the others said, everyone volunteered? The Beasts Pirates had no intention of hurting them at all? “Let’s go, Fisher Tiger,”
At this time, Jack said, “Brother Ian wants to see you.”
Tiger was stunned for a moment.
IBrother En?
Is it Ian of Fentian?
“Okay!”
Tiger nodded heavily, “Then go and meet him!”
He also wanted to see what that guy wanted to say.
The other companions did not object. They were also a little curious at this time. What was the intention of Ian of Fentian.
“Very good.”
Jack nodded with satisfaction.
Just at this moment, a whistling sound came from the sky.
Tiger looked up like a frightened bird.
The iron birds, like maggots on the tarsal bones, suddenly flew over from a low altitude, bringing a gust of wind.
At the moment they flew past, Jack gave a thumbs up to the leading plane.
Drake in the plane gave a thumbs up in return.
Then, Jack took Tiger and others back to Ghost Island.
Because they came here in a hurry and didn’t sail, they could only ask Tiger and other guests to swim back with them.
Only the ship’s doctor Aladdin came to the beast of a sea beast, and he had to urgently treat the seriously injured Arlong.
Fortunately, the swimming speed of the fish people was undoubtedly fast, and they successfully arrived at Onigashima around midnight.
Of course, when they first saw Onigashima, the Sun Pirates were also deeply shocked by the appearance of the island.
In a spacious restaurant on Onigashima, Tiger met Ian.
“Haven’t you eaten yet? This restaurant is highly regarded in Onigashima,”
At this time, the young boy who looked very immature sat at a large long table and clapped his hands with a smile, “It’s time to serve the food.”
The waiter of the restaurant quickly pushed the food cart out and started serving the food. The steaming and fragrant food soon filled the entire table, making the people of the Sun Pirates drool.
They haven’t eaten anything tonight.
”Because I don’t know what you like to eat, I just made something casually,”
Ian stood up and said with a smile, “Just treat it as a midnight snack. The formal welcome banquet will be put off until tomorrow. Please take a seat.”
Ian’s enthusiasm and thoughtfulness made everyone in the Sun Pirates stunned.
They had imagined the scene when they met Ian of Fentian many times, but they never thought it would be like this.
Is that young monster whose reputation has resounded throughout the world, the chief cadre of the Beast Pirates, actually such a passionate person?
It’s really confusing.
”Brother Tai——”
Jinbei whispered.
Is it a Hongmen Banquet? Tiger didn’t say anything, and sat directly opposite Ian.
Since we are here, what is there to be afraid of!
Since the elder brother is like this, the others certainly have nothing to say, and they all took their seats.
”Jack, you sit down too.”
Ian waved to the younger brother who came all the way to pick up Tiger and the others, “Thank you for your hard work.”
”What’s the big deal! Brother Ian!”
Hearing the most respected elder brother thanking him, Jack said solemnly, “It’s just running errands.”
As he said that, he sat next to Ian.
Ian smiled, then looked at Tiger and said, “You should have known each other, right? This is Jack, also a fishman, and now the commander of our Beast Pirates’ fishman unit.”
Tiger looked at Jack.
Although he is huge, if you look closely, he is actually about the same age as Ian.
A genius among fishmen? Tiger thought.
But seeing how respectful he is to Ian, he probably doesn’t have any sense of belonging to Fishman Island.
”Come to think of it, you haven’t introduced yourself formally yet, right?”
Ian said with a smile, “I’m Ian, Fisher Tiger, I’ve heard of you for a long time. What you did in Marijoa, not to mention me, even Teacher Kai admires you.”
Teacher Kai dreams of going to Marijoa and destroying it severely.
“Amazing, really amazing. For eight hundred years, no one has dared to attack Mary Geoise, let alone alone. Even the goal is just to rescue the slaves.”
Ian did not hesitate to praise, “You are the most amazing man I have ever seen in my life.”
Fisher Tiger.
It is not an exaggeration to describe this man as a saint.
Because he was a slave, he did not want to see others become slaves. He truly did not do to others what he did not want others to do to him.
Obviously because of himselfHe hated humans because of his past experiences, and even died because he refused to transfuse human blood.
However, when he liberated slaves, he treated them equally and liberated human slaves as well. In the end, he died because he wanted to send human slave Kerla home. He hated humans, but he also knew that Otohime’s proposition was correct. Fishman Island could not be isolated forever. They could only truly integrate into the world above the sea by gaining the recognition of humans.
Therefore, when he led the Sun Pirates to sail on the sea, he was unwilling to hurt any human, even the navy that was chasing them.
Perhaps because Ian’s words were too sincere, Tiger was a little confused.
He never thought that Ian would have this attitude at this time.
Don’t mention him, even Jinpei and others cast a kind look at him because of Ian’s speech.
As long as you praise Brother Tiger, then we are good friends.
Tiger was silent for a moment, then said, “If it’s meaningless, let’s stop here. Ian of Burning Sky, what is the purpose of your Beasts Pirates?”
”Purpose?”
Ian thought for a moment, then said, “Of course it is to enhance the strength of our Beasts Pirates.”
Jinbei, who had just smiled at Ian, suddenly slammed the table and said, “Sure enough, you just want to use our compatriots!”
”Use?”
Jinbei thought Ian would refute, but he really didn’t expect Ian to say, “Isn’t this good?”
Hearing Ian’s answer, Jinbei was furious. He was angry and shouted, “You guy!!”
Before he could curse, Ian said, “I think it’s a good thing to be used by us.”
”We need people who can help us explore the seabed, so we need immigrants from Fishman Island. We need troops that can fight in the seabed, so we need fishman troops.”
”And now, we have got what we want, and the fishmen and mermaids who migrated to Wano Country have also got everything they want, freedom, sunshine, safety, wealth, power, isn’t such a win-win exchange good?”
Jinbei was speechless for a moment.
He always felt that something was wrong, but he didn’t know what was wrong.
“In addition, more importantly,” Ian said with a smile, “maybe our actions can set off a trend on the sea. After all, the power that fishmen and mermaids can exert in the sea is so strong.” “The navy already has a giant vice admiral, so in the future, there may be fishmen vice admirals and mermaid vice admirals.” “Isn’t this kind of use good?” Tiger was stunned. “Perhaps,” Ian said, “this is the first step for Fishman Island to integrate into the world of the sea.” Although it is cruel to say this, the fact is that if Fishman Island wants to come to the sea, it can only get the recognition of humans as Otohime said, and then integrate into this world. After all, Fishman Island is too weak. They can’t change the rules of this world. All they can do is adapt to this world. They can only cater to humans. Tiger was silent. What Ian said seems to be true. If the world saw the power of the merman army, would there be an arms race? Would everyone want to form their own merman army?
Then, with this opportunity, mermen and mermaids would be recognized by all the major forces in human society and thus integrated into the human world.
He looked at the boy.
Suddenly, he understood why Neptune and the others agreed to this kid’s immigration plan.
Seeing Tiger’s expression relax, Ian’s mouth curled up, “It’s too late today. Let’s go see the immigrants tomorrow. They live very well here.”
Tiger paused, then nodded slightly hesitantly.
”Hahaha, okay,”
Ian clapped his hands and said happily, “Too much nonsense, the food is getting cold, let’s eat first.”
After a slightly weird midnight snack, Ian originally wanted to arrange a place for Tiger and others to stay.
But they refused. They had to stay on the coast tonight and then meet their compatriots as soon as possible tomorrow.
Ian couldn’t say anything about it, so he could only let Jack and the others wait on the coast near the immigrant gathering place.
Then, after the Sun Pirates left.
Ian suddenly asked, “Aren’t you going to say thank you?”
Outside the door, Hancock pushed the door open and the girl was a littleConfusing, she was followed by her two sisters.
The benefactor was right in front of them, but they didn’t want to expose that experience to anyone other than Ian.
”Then let me go and thank you for you.”
Ian said.
”Ian!”
Hancock’s cheeks instantly flushed, “So happy! This is, sharing honor and disgrace?”
Ian’s mouth twitched.
The next day.
Ian got up early on purpose.
But it was still a little late.
When he came, Tiger had already returned from the gathering place of the fishmen in the seabed.
The people of the Sun Pirates were chatting with the enthusiastic immigrants.
“So, your daily job is to search the seabed?”
”Yes, Lord Ian said that Wano Country is rich in various minerals. Since it is so on land, the seabed of the inland sea must be so as well. We explore the ancient ruins of Wano Country while exploring the seabed mineral veins. Lord Ian said that we will explore the seabed resources in the outer sea in the future.”
”Is the work hard?”
”It’s okay? It feels similar to being on Fishman Island, but the advantage is that we can come to the sea surface at any time, enjoy the sunshine and sea breeze at any time, and don’t have to worry about anyone hurting us. Moreover, the people here don’t discriminate against us. The Beasts Pirates are fine, and the other humans from Wano Country we met on the shore are not hostile to us.”
”Is that so?”
Looking at the happy smiles on the faces of his compatriots, Tiger nodded gently.
It seems that Neptune and the others did not lie, and Ian did not lie either.
The compatriots are really living well here.
It seems that this trip should not have been made.
Tiger sighed.
”How do you feel?”
Ian came over with a smile.
All the immigrants greeted him with a smile, and many beautiful mermaids even welcomed him with flying kisses.
Ian waved his hand to let them leave temporarily, and he wanted to talk to Tiger.
The immigrants all respected Ian’s opinion.
”I wrongly blamed you.”
Tiger said sincerely.
“We are too,”
Jinbei said seriously, “Sorry, Mr. Ian.”
“Nothing,”
Ian waved his hand, “This is a win-win deal.”
He smiled suddenly, “If you feel bad, Mr. Tiger, how about doing me a favor?”
Tiger was slightly stunned, “What?”
Ian said, “After returning to Fishman Island, help me spread the word that Wano Country needs more immigrants, but the people of Fishman Island don’t believe us, so we can only rely on your power, Mr. Tiger.”
Tiger was silent for a while.
Then, he nodded gently.
He came here for a field investigation and found out that it was really as the Neptunes said, there was no other island in the world suitable for fishmen and mermaids to live.
If you immigrate here, it should be safe, right?
“Thank you.”
Ian thanked him sincerely, “Then I’ll leave it to you.”
”Nothing.”
Tiger shook his head.
It’s all for his compatriots.
Fishman Island has as many compatriots who long for blue sky and land as they want.
”By the way, Mr. Tiger,”
Ian said, “Do you want to go back to Paradise later?”
Tiger was a little puzzled and didn’t know why Ian asked that.
”If you don’t mind, maybe your Sun Pirates can sail in the New World,”
Ian said, “Although it’s not easy for us to help you directly, we can still provide a little invisible protection.”
Even if Tiger doesn’t say it, Jinbei is also a huge fighting force.
Tiger frowned, “Let’s talk about this later. We have to go back to Fishman Island first.”
”Is that so?”
Ian nodded, “By the way, Mr. Tiger, someone asked me to thank you. They said, thank you very much.”
Tiger stopped blinking.
The one who can thank him——
Tiger’s mouth curled up, “There’s nothing to thank them for. Let them live a good life.”
”I’ll help you convey it.”
Ian really admired this man. He was the most likely person to become a bridge between Fishman Island and humans, so Ian said again, “Really, please consider my suggestion carefully, Mr. Tiger, come to the new world.”
