Living in a high-risk world

Carnival City Sanfarud, a famous commercial island located on the Great Waterway.

As the outside world calls it, this is a lively town that holds various parties, celebrations, and events almost around the clock.

Zaoyue and the others arrived at night three days later, and before the boat docked, they could already see the colorful spotlights shooting into the sky from Carnival City from a long distance away.

"Wow--!"

And when the boat arrived at the pier here, just as it docked, there happened to be a parade float passing by on the shore road. There were several beauties with proud figures dressed like samba dancers standing on the gorgeous and flamboyant car. In the place where I paraded, the men on both sides of the road looked like nympho with daring eyes, and some were so excited that they sprayed nosebleeds and fell to the ground on the spot and were taken away by the medical staff. shouted.

Then she couldn't wait to get off the boat and chased the floats to join in the fun.

The few remaining crew members are used to the fact that their captain often disappears at once.

At the same time, Didara noticed that there was a train station on the island, and the rails stretched from the island all the way to the sea: "There are also sea trains here."

Dou also looked at the station: "Because the designer of the sea train was the fish-man Tom who lived on the great waterway."

After the opening of the Great Pirate Era, the whole world is boiling with the words of the One Piece King before his death. People's yearning and expectation for the sea have fallen into an unprecedented state of frenzy, either for dreams, or for wealth, or for fame and status... Anyway, they have their own dreams. People with different beliefs and pursuits all join the sea.

However, the ship will inevitably be worn and damaged during the sea voyage. Other ships are not self-repairing like the Garden. If the ship is damaged, it is natural to find materials to repair it.Therefore, it is located on the great waterway, and it happens to be famous for its shipbuilding industry, and it is regarded as a supply station by pirates during the voyage.

The frequent plunder of pirates, coupled with the impact of natural disasters, made this once prosperous island gradually decline after entering the era of great pirates.

To this end, Tom the Murloc designed a sea train, which connects the three commercial islands, Pukki, the gourmet city, and Holy Poplar, the city of the Queen of Spring, with Water [-], bringing a stable flow of passengers to Water [-] Island. In addition, it also solved the problem that during the "Gods of Water" tsunami that swept across the island every year, ships were unable to enter and exit for nearly a month, and people on the island were suspended from work and business, and successfully revived the prosperity of Water Seven Island. .

Speaking of murlocs, Dou couldn't help expressing his interest in this race whose body is half fish-like: "I really want to get in touch with murlocs if I have a chance."

However, an aborigine on the planet seemed to have a different opinion. Karina frowned and said, "Murlocs? If possible, I don't want to provoke these guys who are ten times stronger than humans. It's probably not good at all, but quite a few murlocs hate humans very much, if you meet such a guy..."

Although the murlocs and mermaids on this planet are the same intelligent species as humans, due to the fact that their body shape retains half of the characteristics of fish, murlocs and mermaids have not been regarded as humans in the past hundreds of years , the world government also defines them as "animals" rather than "human beings".Even though the Dragon Palace Kingdom of Murloc Island, which represented murlocs and mermen, became a member of the world government 200 years ago, it still failed to change this discrimination. Even in some gray areas and individual countries, murlocs and merfolk are still regarded as For fish, it is sold as a rare animal.

Murlocs, who are born with ten times stronger wrist strength than humans, are excellent choices for war slaves and coolies, while mermaids with a human upper body and a fish tail in the lower body, and young female mermaids with beautiful appearance, are more likely to be sold at high prices in the human trading market. Therefore, it has become the main target of being plundered by human traffickers and pirates. After the era of great pirates began, pirates often broke into Fishman Island to capture female mermaids on the island.

Because of this history, some murlocs and mermaids are very hostile to humans.In addition, about ten years ago, in order to rescue the tortured slaves in the Tianlong people's territory, relying on the natural strong wrist strength of the murlocs, they climbed to the red earth continent thousands of meters high with bare hands, broke into the holy land of Marie Gioia and made a big fuss. Tiger, who liberated thousands of enslaved slaves and was regarded as the leader of the slave liberation movement and the hero of Fishman Island, eventually died of excessive blood loss because humans refused to give him blood transfusions when he was seriously injured. This exacerbated the hatred of these murlocs and mermaids towards humans, which led to the promulgation of the law "prohibiting the distribution of blood to humans" on Murloc Island.

The attitude of the nobles in this world towards murlocs and mermaids is one of the main factors that made Zaoyue choose to press the impulse to make a decision before making a move after thinking twice, and did not advocate short-term contact. As for the other factor , that is, about 20 years ago, Vegapunk, a genius scientist who is known here as having a wisdom beyond 500 years of today's people, discovered the existence of the blood factor in the study of devil fruit, and cracked the transmission condition of the devil fruit ability .

Devil Fruits allow people to obtain magical powers, but unfortunately this power cannot be inherited, and Devil Fruits are obtained by luck, so naturally there have been people who have always wanted to decipher how to obtain it.And 20 years ago, the discovery of blood factors made many people here see the possibility of making abilities heritable, and started research on it.In this case, if the people here know that the various abilities of the ninjas in the ninja world are obtained genetically, then if they do not have enough strength to defend their own territory, the ninja world may become like a fish. Like the Isle of Man, ninjas will also be studied.

Dou heard the unfinished meaning in the other party's words, and followed the words: "It seems that the murloc has done something to leave a bad impression on you."

But Karina also quickly put forward: "I don't mind talking more, but the next question is [-] of yours."

"Forget it." As soon as he heard that there would be a fee, Dou decisively expressed his gratitude, because he knew that once the question was asked, it would be far more than fifty thousand.

Soon after, the rest of the crew got the pocket money distributed, and soon went to their own activities one after another.

……

the other side.

Zaoyue was walking on the main road of the town at this time, and the shops on both sides of the street were holding unique activities and performances, which made her almost dizzying to watch along the way, and she didn't know which side to pay attention to first.

As he was walking, Zaoyue suddenly noticed a big white bear in orange overalls at the intersection in front of him, surrounded by several children, probably regarded as a puppet played by a staff member.

Seeing the shy Pyrene Bear, who was at a loss because he didn't know how to answer some of the children's questions and demands, Zaoyue couldn't help but said, "Pfft!"

After laughing out loud, out of goodwill towards the big fluffy, he still went to help the other party out of the siege.

Conjuring a few flowers at random and giving them to the children, and after sending them away, Zaoyue looked at Beipo who seemed a little at a loss.

But after she looked over, Beibo lowered his head nervously and pointed at his fingers, and whispered, "Thank you."

Alas!So cute!

Looking at the fluffy and white fur, Zaoyue finally couldn't hold back this time, and said: "It's okay, it's okay, just let me stroke it."

As he said that, he leaned over and stretched out his hand to rub the hair on the back of the opponent's head a few times.

"..." Bei Bo looked like he was about to cry, but he finally escaped from the siege of the children, but in the blink of an eye, he was stroked again.Although he really wanted to tell the other party not to touch her hands, Beipo, who is naturally sensitive, fragile and easily shy, tried several times to muster up the courage to speak up but failed.

Fortunately, not long after, his captain came back.

Luo said with the usual smile but not a smile, without much emotion: "Peony is the master, long time no see."

Seeing his captain come back, Beipo immediately retracted behind his captain, making Zaoyue feel a little pity.

But when she saw someone she knew, Zaoyue immediately greeted her happily: "Luo! You are also nearby!"

Luo saw that she was so enthusiastic, and felt that she seemed to be looking for him for something, so he asked her, "What's the matter here?"

"No." Zaoyue said with a pure smile, "Isn't this saying hello to you?"

"..." After a brief silence, Luo continued to wear that naughty smile on his face, and seemingly casually mentioned, "After two years of silence, your debut show after your comeback some time ago caused quite a commotion. ah."

"Huh? It's okay, I just taught a few people a lesson, and the Straw Hats sound more powerful."

Hearing that she suddenly mentioned the straw hat, Luo recalled the report in the World Economic News some time ago: "Is the straw hat who defeated the sand crocodile, one of the king's seven martial arts not long ago? It is indeed a strong newcomer."

"That's right! It's amazing. Not long after we debuted, we're worth over [-] million!" After Zaoyue marveled, he glanced at Beibo behind him and said, "By the way, let me tell you, we are now There is also a mascot!"

Bebo couldn't help turning his head shyly when she saw her, and Luo fell silent for a while in bewilderment.

"Really." But soon, he continued to look like he was strategizing, and said unhurriedly, "Speaking of which, Peony is the master, there are still many interesting places hidden in this town, if you are interested, you can go to Explore."

"!" These words instantly aroused Zaoyue's curiosity, and she was about to ask more questions.

Luo said: "Let's go first. If there is a chance in the future, maybe we will meet again at the last stop in the first half."

After finishing speaking, he took Beipo and turned around to leave.

"Ah, well, goodbye first then." Zaoyue waved her hand, and soon returned her attention to what Luo just said was interesting.

The author has something to say:

Tiger's real cause of death was his refusal to accept human blood.

When Tiger left Murloc Street to venture out, he was caught as a slave not long after he went out, and then sold to the Tianlongren. It was not until three years later that he found a chance to escape, but his experience as a slave made him hate humans. , but his sense of responsibility prevented him from leaving the remaining slaves alone.

So he went back to Mermaid Island and confessed to the king and Princess Otohime, and then went to attack the holy land Mariejoa to liberate the slaves.
