One Piece: Under the Throne

The air was filled with the scent of the sea, and the Ryugu guards hurried over when they saw a new ship entering Fishman Island.

"Human boy, please register here to enter Fish-Man Island." As soon as he finished speaking, he saw Will behind him and immediately changed his face: "Hey, isn't this Will? You, a loser, have become a prisoner of a child." The difference in attitude before and after made Leo doubt who the real fish-man is.

Leo looked at Will in confusion. Although he was a little confused about why Will was bullied by his compatriots, he was more worried that the little fat fish would be wronged. But Will's reaction was a little unexpected. He didn't care about the guard's attitude, but greeted him with a silly smile.

"Hey, hello, Brother Kaito. Let me introduce you. This is Brother Leo. He is my savior."

"Don't cause trouble to other people, you idiot. You might as well be sold out. Stop blocking here and come with me to register."

Leo was increasingly dissatisfied with the guard's attitude. In his mind, Will was able to guard him without retreating in times of danger, so he considered him his own. Now that he saw his younger brother being bullied, Leo wanted to teach the guard a lesson.

Will was startled, and quickly hugged Leo from behind, pulled him aside, turned around and said to the guard with an apologetic smile: "Brother Kaito, I'm sorry to trouble you, let's go and register quickly. Brother Leo, you've always wanted to go to the Mermaid Cafe, I'll go with you later."

The atmosphere between the two sides was a little awkward. Kaito was a little resentful at first, but for some reason, Leo's glare made him feel like he was being stared at by a sea king, so he snorted coldly and helped them get the permit to enter the city.

After getting the permission, Will took Leo and turned to leave. Seeing this, Leo didn't say anything else. It seemed that Will's life was also very hard, but since Will didn't say anything, Leo didn't intend to ask either, so he just let him take them to visit Fishman Island.

Fishman Island is worthy of being a famous place on the Grand Line. The first impression it gives people is that it is dreamy. The island is built on a huge coral reef, with a double-layer hemispherical protective cover on the outside. Air flows through the gap in the middle of the protective cover. There is a special gas storage device at the entrance, which can provide oxygen for the entire Fishman Island. Although it is located at a depth of 10,000 meters under the sea, there is the sun tree Eve to provide it with sunlight, so Fishman Island also has changes in day and night. Colorful corals can be seen everywhere in the streets and alleys of the entire island. The buildings are a bit like the shells of crustaceans, with colorful styles and sizes. Like Shampoo Land, Fishman Island also has a tradition of using Yarkiman mangrove gum. The most representative ones are bubble taxis and fish buses, as well as the gum swimming ring that the mermaid sister wears around her waist when walking on land.

According to Will, he was born in Fishman Street, which is different from Fishman Island. It is a lawless area and slum area, and the security there is much worse than here.

After walking around for a while, Leo urged Will to take him to the Mermaid Cafe. It wasn't because he was lustful, but because Leo wanted to challenge his weakness and see how dangerous the place that could make Sanji bleed five steps away was. Yes, that's right! He just wanted to see it for himself.

The two took the bubble taxi and quickly arrived at the Mermaid Cafe. As soon as Leo got off the car, he was attracted by a burst of sweet laughter...

Ouch! The scenery of Fishman Island seemed more beautiful now. Several young mermaid girls were playing in the swimming pool. The water was surging. Leo felt that his eyes were wide and narrow, and he could hardly see them all. The girls were not only dressed coolly but also charming. There were lolita, young girls, mature women, and even young women... cough cough, in short, Leo suddenly felt his nose itchy, as if warm liquid was about to flow out at any time.

The mermaid girls were not afraid of strangers. When they saw Leo coming, they waved to him enthusiastically. Some of the braver ones even jumped onto the shore and hugged his arms. The feeling... was wonderful.

Oh my! Ladies, please slow down. Leo said no, but his eyes began to move down unnaturally. The mermaid girl giggled and said, "What a handsome little brother, welcome to the most distinctive cafe in Mermaid Island.

The girl looked at Leo with a playful smile, and the mermaid ladies in the swimming pool also shouted "Welcome" in unison. This damn familiar feeling, it seems that I will have to die here tonight.

Will wanted to introduce Leo, but Leo came up to him and made the girls laugh with just a few words. After chatting for a while, he remembered Will: "Brother, order whatever you want to eat. I'm happy today, so don't be polite to me. When you're full, go home first. I won't accompany you today."

Will said hello. Although he was very happy that his elder brother let him order whatever he wanted, why did he feel that Leo was different today?

After Will had his fill, he left the Mermaid Cafe and walked along Mermaid Street, patting his belly. The backstreet was much quieter than the island where the mermaids lived. The little fat man was still savoring the delicious cake he had just eaten and didn't notice the disgusted looks cast at him from the corners on both sides of the street.

Will returned to his home soon. The door was half open and the wall was splashed with something like paint. Will didn't care and pushed the door open, but the tables and chairs in the house were lying crookedly on the floor. Will couldn't hold it in any longer, tears burst out, and he carried his tired body into the bedroom. The bed was also piled with debris. After a simple tidying, Will lay on it. During this process, tears kept flowing, but he didn't dare to cry loudly.

The next day, Leo walked out of the cafe refreshed. It was such a pleasure to talk with the young ladies all night long. Leo walked on the street with a carefree pace. Although he was very satisfied mentally, his stomach made a growling sound of protest.

After walking around for a long time, I only found a tavern. I was so hungry that I decided to have a meal here. After eating, I went to Fishman Street to find Will. The little fat guy was so greedy that he must know where there was delicious food.

There were not many people in the tavern at this time. When they saw the young man coming in, the few guests at the few tables all looked at him with hatred. Leo was used to it, so he pretended not to see them. Leo would not get angry because of those looks, and he had no intention of making friends with them.

He walked to the bar and sat down. Before he could say anything, he saw the boss pointing to a wooden sign on the side, which said that minors are not allowed to drink. Leo chuckled. This boss is quite funny. From his behavior, it can be seen that he is not a fishman who is hostile to humans.

"Boss, give me a plate of seafood fried rice and a glass of juice." Leo said with a smile, trying to look friendly.

"Ten thousand Baileys." The boss just coolly quoted a price, took the money and turned to go to the kitchen.

After a while, a large plate of seafood fried rice and a cup of seaweed juice, a specialty of Fishman Island, were served. Leo took a sip of the drink, which looked like dark food in color, but tasted surprisingly good. The slightly sour and refreshing taste aroused the appetite of diners.

Leo said it was delicious and started to eat. The boss gradually relaxed from his initial vigilance. During this time, Leo ordered a few special side dishes to taste. It must be said that the food of Fishman Island is still very special. Seeing that Leo was enjoying his meal, the boss also took the initiative to talk to him.

The boss made Leo feel comfortable as soon as he opened his mouth: "I never thought that a little kid like you could reach Fishman Island alone. This is something that many adults can't do."

"Haha, it took a lot of help from many people to get here, but it was really worth the trip. Fishman Island is such a beautiful place." Leo replied with a smile.

"Your parents are relieved to let you go out to sea alone. You didn't run away secretly, did you?"

"No, I don't have any relatives in my hometown anymore. They were all killed by pirates."

"I'm sorry to bring up your sad story. Those damn pirates are really troublesome wherever they go."

"Hehe, it's okay. I'm used to it. Uncle, I think it's peaceful here on Fishman Island."

"Fishman Island also has a lot of troubles. Not only pirates, but also many slave traders need to be guarded against. Many of our compatriots go missing every year."

At this time, a shark fishman next to him interrupted and said, "Humph, many of our compatriots have been captured by you. If you ask me, humans are all dirty and despicable."

"The despicable ones are the pirates and the slave traders. In fact, compared to you fishmen, the poor humans are persecuted more severely by them, just like my hometown." Leo said this very cleverly, inadvertently putting himself and the fishmen in the perspective of their own people.

Sure enough, Shark Fishman looked a little better after hearing what Leo said. After all, they were all people from the lower class, so he stopped making things difficult for the kid: "How dare you come to Fishman Island alone? Should I say you are lucky?"

"I'm very strong. I've killed several gangs of human traffickers. The last time I saved a fishman. This time I came to Fishman Island to send him back.

Hearing Leo say that he rescued the murloc, the drinkers in the tavern raised their glasses to salute him. Leo's behavior here was like that of a hero. Leo accepted everyone's offer and clinked glasses with them one by one with a glass of juice.

At this moment, a tall, dark red murloc sat down next to Leo and said, "You are amazing, boy. You can defeat the human traffickers at such a young age. What is the name of the murloc you saved? Maybe I know him." The other party asked tentatively.

Leo stared at the burly man next to him. What a big fish! Isn't this Fisher Tiger? He is much younger than the image in the comics. Knowing who the other party is, Leo spoke more casually: "Hello, brother, the fishman I rescued is called Will. Do you know Black Will? He is a little fat man."

Tiger was stunned for a moment. He didn't expect that the person Leo rescued was actually someone he knew. "Of course I know Will. I watched him grow up. Thank you very much, young man. I am Fisher Tiger, an adventurer and the boss of Fishman Street."

"Brandon Leo is an adventurer and part-time bounty hunter."

"It's a great idea. When you are young, you should travel more. I believe it will be a good journey."

The two smiled and clinked their glasses.
