Chapter 346: 10,000 Meters Under the Sea
This is an abyss at the bottom of the sea at 8,000 meters in the depths, and the Thousand Miles of Sunshine is getting closer and closer to Fish-Man Island in the deep sea. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 info
Back then, the Straw Hats once soared to an altitude of 10,000 meters to adventure on the legendary Sky Island, but now they have gone to the 10,000-meter underwater abyss to adventure on the dream-like Fish-Man Island.
"Jinping, there's only a cliff ahead! where is Fish-Man Island?" asked Sanji a little impatiently.
"The cliff in front should be the Red Earth Continent!" Although in the deep sea, even if there are lights, the view is still seriously blocked. However, Nicole Robin still guessed that the cliff ahead was the Red Continent.
"Everyone, please sit down! The next place to go is the old man's hometown - Fish-Man Island!" Jinping skillfully controlled the rudder, and directly lowered the rudder, and sailed the Thousand Miles of Sunshine into a bottomless trench.
"There's a trench here?" no one thought that Fish-Man Island would be in the depths of the sea. If it weren't for the sea hero Jinhei from Fish-Man Island to lead the way, I'm afraid the Straw Hats would have to spend some time looking for a route, and they would also have to avoid various dangers from the deep sea.
"It's so dazzling!" Suddenly, a strong burst of light made everyone a little dizzy, as if they were being illuminated by the sun.
"How can there be light here?" Everyone except Luffy was shocked why such a strong light source suddenly appeared in the bottom of the sea, which was obviously unreasonable. They didn't know much about anything other than knowing that Fish-Man Island was located in an abyss of 10,000 meters under the sea and was the home of the Fish-People and the Merfolk Clan.
"Welcome to Fish-Man Island!" said with a smile.
This is a dream place located in the Red Earth Continent, directly below the holy land of Mary Joy, and 10,000 meters under the sea - Fish-Man Island!
Aside from climbing the Red Continent, it is the only route that connects the New World and Paradise, and the only route that only ships can take to the first and second half of the Great Route.
Because countless ships pass through here, they bring a lot of trade goods and intelligence exchange here. The location of Fish-Man Island is of great strategic and economic significance.
Even though Fish-Man Island is now under the leadership of King Neptune, it has been almost a year since it broke away from the World Government member states. Even though the World Government has been restricting ships between the two places for the past two years, the World Government wants to reoccupy Fish-Man Island unless it launches another large-scale campaign.
Fighting in the water, humans on land are obviously no match for the Fish-Man and the Mermaid in the water, and the current Fish-Man Island is still the territory that Whitebeard and his gang focus on.
"Is that Fish-Man Island?" the group looked at an island surrounded by huge bubbles not far ahead, and the direction indicated by Nami's compass was the island at the front gate.
"Why is there a light source at the bottom of the sea?" asked the crowd curiously.
But before Jinping could answer for everyone, Luffy took the lead and said, "Isn't it strange to have a light?
"Are you an idiot? It's 10,000 meters deep in the sea!" everyone was surprised by Luffy's idiocy again.
When the Thousand Miles of Sunshine dived to the bottom of the sea for 1,000 meters, the surroundings were almost pitch black, and if it weren't for the light and Jinping's guidance, they would have to spend several times more time to barely reach Fish-Man Island. Although they had also thought that Fish-Man Island must have some special light source, it seems that this is obviously no different from sunlight!
I don't know what kind of structure Luffy's head is, but I take this kind of thing for granted!"
"This is the gift of Yang Shu Eve!" Jinping explained with a happy face of gratitude: "Yang Shu Eve can perfectly convey the sunlight on the ground to the roots and shine on this land. Let this place be the same as the ground, there is a day and night!"
"What an amazing tree!" Luffy didn't think that the top of the tree of Yang Tree Eve was on the sea level, otherwise how could he transport sunlight! In Luffy's eyes, he just thought that Yang Shu Eve was very magical.
"Why are there so many naval wrecks?" Although everyone's eyes were attracted to Fish-Man Island, William still noticed that there were a large number of naval warship wrecks on the bottom of the sea. Of course, in addition to the wreckage of the Navy warship, there are also the wreckage of more than a dozen pirate ships.
"This is the 'Battle of Fish-Man Island' that just took place on Fish-Man Island not long ago!" Jinping's eyes revealed a bit of sadness and helplessness, and continued: "Although Fish-Man Island suffered a lot of losses in this battle, the war is finally over!"
Since the "Battle of Fish-Man Island" that Jinping said has been over for a while, and the incident still happened when William was cultivating with Zoro on Krajgana Island, William is not very clear about the specific things.
However, hearing Jinping say that there was a war on Fish-Man Island, that is, the news that the surface mermaid princess Shirahoshi is an ancient weapon "Sea King Poseidon" is likely to have been leaked.
Because this battle is completely closed to the outside world, the newspapers only briefly reported it, it is said that Fish-Man Island has developed a very terrifying weapon, preparing to attack the humans living on land, and it is rumored that this is also the reason why Fish-Man Island suddenly broke away from the world government. When the world government learned of this, it immediately gathered a large number of naval forces and launched a "defense war" against Fish-Man Island.
"What exactly is going on?" William will definitely not believe what the newspaper says, the newspaper is almost always controlled by the world government behind the scenes, and they will never let unfavorable information appear in the newspaper.
For ordinary people, newspapers are their only source of information, and the world government and their country are also their only reliance, so ordinary people basically believe what the newspapers say. However, for the forces with their own intelligence departments, they naturally have many more channels to obtain information, so many things that the world government wants to hide cannot be hidden from these forces.
"Actually, all of this is because King Neptune is trying to surround Princess Shirahoshi!" Jinping obviously had some unwillingness in his heart when he spoke. Although he has no hatred for humans, and even accepts the human race in his heart, otherwise he would not have joined the Straw Hats.
However, for the "Battle of Fish-Man Island" suddenly launched by the world government, Jinhei's mood was angry. Not only Jinping, but even the entire inhabitants of Fish-Man Island are resisting the World Government in order to protect the mermaid princess and the honor of being a fish-man.
