Chapter 21 Trash and Salted Fish
"Looks like Nami is here. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info" Crockdahl instructed Luffy and Sanji lightly, "You guys go find her, here...... Leave it to me. ”
"But......" Sanji hesitated a little and stood up. He was eager to find Nami, but he couldn't just leave. Apparently, he did not know the identity of Crockdahl.
Crockdahl glanced at Sanji, heh, he still has a bit of a conscience. glanced at John, who didn't know when he fainted, and said in his heart, a dragon is a dragon set......
Shaking his head, Crockdahl dispelled the messy thoughts in his heart and said to Luffy, who looked eager to try, "Luffy, take them away." ”
"Uncle, ...... you"
"Don't worry, these trash fish can't hurt me yet. There was a hint of sarcasm in Crockdahl's voice, although the physical fitness of the fish-people was far superior to that of humans because of their race, but in Crockdahl's eyes, except for a few special existences, the others could only be classified as miscellaneous fish.
The fish-people are a magical species, like a sub-human species created by the cross between fish and humans. Aside from their strange appearance, the Fish-Men are superior to humans in every way.
Whether it is reaction speed, muscle strength, or recovery ability, the fish-man is several times that of the average human. Especially when in the water, the strength, speed, flexibility and other aspects of the fish-man will be increased by an order of magnitude. It can be said that the fish-people are the strongest combat force in the sea. If it weren't for the fact that it was too difficult for the fish-people to reproduce, the race would never have been able to expand, and who would have ruled the world.
In the past, the Sun Pirates were composed of fishmen, and the famous name of the 40th dan of fish-man karate has also been spread because of them. In its heyday, the Sun Pirates even attacked the Holy Land of Mary Joya with only a few dozen fishmen, making the world government disgraced, and for a while people talked about fishmen and changed color.
However, the Sun Pirates have already become yesterday's yellow flowers, and although Ah Long was once a member of the Sun Pirates, he was just a bigger miscellaneous fish. Trash fish are trash fish after all, and they can't become climate. If it were the fish-people of Fish-Man Island, or Jinping, who was also from the Seven Martial Seas, Krokdal would still take a look at it, but these fish-people here are far from enough.
"Didn't you come here to recover your companions?" said Crocodall, after a pause, "It's not good to keep your companions waiting too long."
"That'...... Okay, uncle, be careful!" Luffy only hesitated for a moment, then nodded in agreement. At the same time, he not only agreed decisively, but also acted faster than words, stretching out one hand and pulling a tree in the distance, and the other hand wrapped around Sanji and John like a rope, and bounced away.
"Yo~ lowly humans, have you been abandoned by your partners?" surrounded the formation, and the fishman led by him sneered contemptuously.
"Hehe......" Crockdahl twisted his neck, tilted his head sideways, and glanced disdainfully at the fishmen who gathered around, "I've always encountered bad luck lately, and I need to see Hong Chong Chong happy, since I sent it to the door, wouldn't I be sorry for your kindness?" The corners of Crockdahl's mouth were raised, as if he was smiling.
"You know, Lao Tzu hates salted fish the most...... "As he spoke, Crockdahl had already activated his ability. It's not in the desert, but there's enough sand on the beach.
The sun-basked sand, under the control of Crockdahl's ability, moved as if it were alive. The sand snaked up like tentacles, wrapping the fishmen's feet around them and nailing them firmly to the ground. Then, with the frightened cries of the fish, the sand spread slowly but surely upward.
Crockdahl hated the fish-man from the bottom of his heart. It's not the so-called racial discrimination, but as a Devil Fruit Ability, as a person abandoned by the sea, I feel unhappy from the bottom of my heart for these fish people who are more comfortable in the sea than on land. As for whether there is envy, jealousy, and hatred, it is unknown.
In addition, there is one thing that few people know, and that is the weakness of his abilities. The Fish-Man, who is always wet, has a naturally suppressive effect on his abilities.
As the darling of the sea, in addition to gaining strong physical fitness and amphibious attributes, fish people also have a natural water film on their body surface. This film of water resembles the bubbles characteristic of the Chambord Islands, coating the fish-man's body with a thin film.
In the water, this membrane effectively dissipates the current, reduces drag, and allows them to move more flexibly, and after landing, it keeps their body surface wet at all times. And as something that fish-people are born with, the water film is the first layer of defense on their body surface in addition to these two functions.
According to the different races of the fishmen, the water film is also different, and because of these differences, many strange functions are produced. Most of the water membranes are made up of ordinary water, but it is said that some gifted fishmen have a membrane made of seawater on their bodies, which can resist the abilities of Devil Fruits to the fullest.
The only thing to be thankful for is that the fish-people with the water film composed of seawater are even rarer than those with the overlord color, and they can almost be classified as legends. It's just that for those who are ordinary Devil Fruit abilities, the legendary water film made of seawater is the nemesis, but for Crockdahl, as long as he is a fishman, he has a layer of resistant skin specifically against him.
Think about the "Sea Hero" Jinping, who is also the Seven Martial Seas, and his melee specialization plus the talent of the fish man is completely restraining his own existence!
Because of this, Crockdahl did not hesitate to give these fish-people the deepest despair. When the sand completely envelops them, that's when their despair freezes......
The fish-men shrouded in the sand began to struggle, but even with their strength much stronger than ordinary people, they still could not escape the fate of being buried in the sand.
"Rest in peace......" Crockdahl seemed a little unbearable, lowered his eyelids, stopped looking at the fish-men who were struggling on the edge of despair, and turned away.
If a crocodile still sheds tears when it eats its prey, why should he hide that pity?
By the time Krokdal left the beach, tranquility had returned. All traces that once existed were buried in the yellow sand. As the tide washes onto the beach, it washes away the last footprints.
Crockdahl walked along the coastline, in the direction Luffy had left before. Although he doesn't trust Luffy as a road idiot, his intuition doesn't seem to be much stronger than him. Instead of running around with intuition, it's better to go in a given direction, and no matter how bad it is, you can always run into Luffy, right?
With such a not very reliable idea, Crockdahl drifted away......
Until, turning a grove of trees, a medium-sized warship of the Navy appeared in front of him.
***************************************************************************
Cocosia Village:
"Zoro, are you alright?" Luffy looked worriedly at Zoro who was lying on the bed with layers of bandages wrapped around his body. And Zoro is sleeping very facelessly.
"Ahh
"Ahh
"I'm not dead yet! Bastard, are you going to kill me!"
"I'm sorry ......"
"Whirring ......"
"Ahh
"......" Johnny and John looked at each other, and they were quite speechless.
This is Nami's sister's room, and when Luffy and the others came to Cocosia Village, they happened to meet Nami's sister, a mature beauty, so they were invited into her room. However, the Sauron people who came one step ahead of them were unlucky enough to meet Ah Long and his gang coming to the village, so it was inevitable that there would be friction with Ah Long's people. Sauron, who was already heavily wounded, was knocked down on the spot and bleeding profusely, while Usopp did not know where to run at the beginning of the battle.
After Aaron and the others left, Nami's sister rescued Zoro and bandaged him briefly. After Luffy learned about it, he hurriedly ran to see Zoro, and so the above scene happened.
Seeing that Zoro was indeed alive and well to sleep, Luffy went out of the room and sat down in the living room. In the living room, Sanji is constantly pestering Nami's sister to be courteous, and the two of them seem to be chatting happily.
"You're Nami's sister, can you tell me about Nami?" Luffy asked Nami's sister in a rare serious tone as he sat down at the table.
"Ahh......h
It turns out that she and Nami were rescued by a wounded female navy named Berumel when they were young, and adopted. When Nami was eight years old, Aaron's Fish-Man Pirates attacked the island, Berumel was killed, and the village of Cocosia became Aaron's toy and was bullied at will. Aaron is a strong racist who believes that the fish-people are a race superior to humans, and it is conceivable how he will treat the villagers.
In order to avenge Belrumel and get out of the fire pit in the village, Nami joined the Aaron Pirates as a cartographer and drew nautical charts for Aaron. and agreed with Aaron to gather 100 million Bailey and redeem himself and the village.
When Nami's sister narrated it, it was like telling a story, and she didn't substitute too much for her own feelings when she said it, but everyone who listened to it was moved by Nami, and Sanji burst into tears a long time ago.
"Nami-san is truly great...... Woo~"
"It's called Aaron......" Luffy clenched his fists secretly.
