On the beach, the cold moonlight poured down, banishing the darkness. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 Under the reflection of the moonlight, the appearance of the black shadow was completely exposed, and it was actually a fishman with gills and fins.

He has a typical fish-man appearance, surrounded by a silvery-gray color, and has a tattoo on his forehead that is close to the sun. It is the symbol of the Sun Pirates who suddenly disappeared ten years ago.

However, his appearance is different from that of ordinary fishmen, his skin is not as moist and smooth as that of fishmen, but dry and rough with fine barbs. There are fins attached to his armpits, neck, and other parts, and even under his forearms, there are pieces of flippers like hook knives, reflecting the brilliance of metal.

He has a strong build, even if he is a head taller than Crockdahl, who is almost three meters tall. But combined with his expression, it perfectly interprets what it means to be a stupid big man.

"What are you?" The fish-man said in a somewhat dry voice, perhaps he hadn't spoken for a long time, but now it was hard to speak, and his voice sounded as harsh as scraping a blackboard with his fingernails.

"What am I? Aha, I'm a crocodile! Sand crocodile! Crockdahl was amused by the fish-man's words and joked.

"Sand crocodile?" The fish-man tilted his head in confusion, scratched his head with his fingers, and made a metallic grinding sound, "Is there such a fish?" Why haven't I seen you, compatite, are you a rare species? ”

"Hahaha!" Crockdahl laughed, this fish-man is really funny, especially since it seems to be the fish-man who has eaten the Devil Fruit.

Just as ice and fire are incompatible with each other, fishmen and devil fruits are naturally incompatible. It's not that Fish-People can't eat Devil Fruits, but even Fish-People, creatures who are born to live in water, will lose the favor of the sea after eating Devil Fruits, and will become landlubbers on the sea just like ordinary Devil Fruit abilities.

Some humans may not care about losing the ability to swim, but for the fishman who has lived in the water since childhood, it is undoubtedly more serious than taking his life. Anyone who eats a Devil Fruit will be disgusted by all the Fishmen, and it is almost impossible to see a Fishman who has eaten a Devil Fruit.

"I'm a human, not a fishman!" Crockdahl thought and explained.

"What? Mankind? When the fish-man heard Crockdahl's words, he immediately became vigilant, and his eyes at Crockdahl no longer showed kindness, but more hatred.

"Grandpa said that humans are all badasses! Will take our compatriots and be slaves! Jean won't be captured by you! ”

"Is your name Jean?" Crockdahl smiled and asked with interest, "And it's a rare species?" ”

"Humph! You humans are so treacherous that you have tricked my name out! But even then, don't think I'll compromise! Jean said firmly, taking a fish-man karate stance. A feeling of condensation came over him, and a faint silver glow emanated from his hands.

Crockdahl looked at Jean's hands and couldn't help but feel a sense of jealousy in his heart. Number 013, Metal Fruit, is obviously a high-end Devil Fruit, and being able to rank 13th on the Devil Fruit Illustrated Book, is obviously a powerful ability. And with the addition of the physical fitness of the fish man, the physical attack and the ability of the metal fruit, he completely has the capital to become a master.

"I'm a little jealous...... Crockdahl thought. The most important thing is that this fish-man is the person Tagore desperately wants to protect.

Judging from the journal, it seems that the reason Tagore stormed the naval shrine was to save him, and the other slaves were only liberated by incident.

"Oh, you're wrong! I'm not a bad person, even humans have friends with fishmen, and I happen to be friends with fishmen! Crockdahl made up his mind to kidnap this stupid fish-man, and immediately said softly, like a strange uncle who kidnapped little Lori.

Not deeply involved in the world, Jean is in the best state of deception.

"I don't believe it! Grandpa said that there is no good thing about human beings! Jean was clearly not deceived by Crookdahl's appearance, or perhaps it was because of Crookdahl's image that he was more wary.

"Hey!" Crockdahl sighed lightly, as if remembering something, and said, "Your grandfather is from the Fish-Man Pirates, right?" ”

"What? How do you know? Jean seemed a little surprised, and unconsciously touched the tattoo on his forehead.

"Hehe......" Crockdahl chuckled and said with a slight wistfulness, "Not only do I know that your grandfather is a member of the Fish-Man Pirates, but I also know why you came to this place, I am your grandfather's friend when he was alive, otherwise how would I have found this place?" And ah......h

Crockdahl deliberately paused in Jean's expectant eyes before saying, "I promised your grandfather to take care of you, although it took a long time, but it's not too late, isn't it?" Come, come with me, I'll take you out to sea and see the world! ”

"You...... I can leave without you! Jean smiled happily at first, then retracted, deliberately not looking at the boat, and craned his neck like a child.

"Hahaha! Will you be able to leave on your own? Crockdahl laughed and said, "Is it just your Devil Fruit ability?" Turning things into metal, this island is your handiwork, right? So, what do you use to make a ship that will allow you to sail? ”

"I ......" Jean was a little speechless, trying to refute but not knowing what to say.

"You're lying to me! It's not that I won't believe you! Jean yelled anxiously.

"Hehe, don't you believe me, too...... It's been so long since I've come to you......" Crockdahl's voice sounded sad, and finally stopped talking and turned into a sigh.

Looking at Crockdahl's appearance, Jean showed a hesitant look on his face, hesitated for a while, still made up his mind, shook his head and refused, and said, "I'm sorry, thank you for your kindness!" I promised my grandfather that he was going to find Uncle Jinping, so I ......"

"Looking for Jinping? Aha......" When Crockdahl heard Jean's words, he suddenly burst out laughing, and when Jean was puzzled, he said, "If you are looking for Jinping, then you will be right to find me!" He's a good friend of me! ”

"Really? Are you good friends with Uncle Jinping? Jean jumped up for joy and exclaimed, "Oh! Grandpa, I've finally been able to find Uncle Jinping! ”

"Hehehehe......" Crockdahl also smiled happily, happy to get a strong combat power in the future. As for those feelings of disgust with the fishmen, he left them behind. It is necessary to distinguish between a disgusting person and an enemy, but what is the word that he often repeats.

"Is it flat? So, you're going to be my friend for the time being......"

Whiskey Mountain:

After a day's rest, Smoker's troops rested in makeshift shelters. Smoker, on the other hand, was still haunted by the fact that he had been attacked due to his carelessness. Although it was the middle of the night, he still couldn't sleep, so he put on a coat with the word "justice" printed on the back and walked towards the beach.

Just last night, the men of Baroque Walker, who were still on the island, carried out a suicide attack on the navy, and although the navy reacted in time and repulsed, the damage was still done.

Standing on the edge of the dilapidated pier, the waves crash against the gravel in front of you, stirring up the waves. The tide rose and fell, and the sound of the lapping gave Smoker's restless heart a moment of peace. Looking at the magnificent scenery of the sea in front of him, although he has seen it many times before, he feels magnificent every time he sees it. The mood is even brighter.

"Smoker...... Is it careless because you have gained new power? Smoker opened his hand, looked at the calluses in his hand, and asked himself, "Don't you know who your opponent is?" Your opponent is the cunning Sand Crocodile Krokdal, and if you are not vigilant, you will only lose miserably! Haven't you learned enough? ”

"Smoker......" Dusty's voice sounded behind Smoker, pulling his mind back. Smoker suddenly realized that he didn't even realize that Dusty was behind him.

"Huh...... Don't worry, I'm fine. Smoker turned around, comforted Dusty, and rubbed his hand on her head a few times.

"But...... Dazuo has become ...... lately," Dusty said with a sigh of relief. But although there are words that don't spit out and are unhappy, they don't know what to say when they come to their mouths.

"Hehe, it's okay, I've said it's okay, do I still need to worry?" Smoker smiled confidently and said, "I think it's good, I've gained new strength!" ”

"But ......"

"Hehe, don't worry, you won't get lost......"

Whiskey Mountain, a shadled dock that has been destroyed by repeated attacks, has been repaired by industrious naval soldiers. It can't be compared to the original, but at least it allows the ship to dock. At the pier, a total of five warships were docked, the largest of which was a five-masted galleon with the navy's logo on the sails.

The dispatch of five warships, even if there is only one capital ship among them, can be regarded as a large military situation for the navy. After all, when the Demon Slaying Order was launched, it was only five capital gunboats that were dispatched.

Unlike warships in the four seas, these warships are not only much larger in size, but also have a unique logo on them to express the difference between each fleet, for example, this fleet belongs to Colonel Tina of the Navy Headquarters.
