The blue waves were rippling, a sailboat was sailing, and Mei Tachibana stood at the bow of the boat, she didn't know when she had this habit, but she didn't look at the sea. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ｂｉｑUｇE。 ｉｎｆｏ

Every time Mei Tang looked at the distant sea, she did not feel the slightest sense of relief, but had a shocking coldness and extreme fear.

She will never forget when she was ten years old, when those powerful fishmen descended on their waters, bringing untold disasters and horrors.

There are 36 islands in total, and every person and adult in every family has to pay 100,000 baili, and even children have to pay 50,000 baili.

Mei Tang always remembered very clearly that when her adoptive mother first offered money, when she handed over 100,000 Berry to her and her sister, she was shot to death by the leader of the fishmen, Aaron, because she couldn't afford to pay it.

Later, because many people lacked money and food, they were starved to death.

Almost everyone was desperate for money and for survival, and soon in this atmosphere, the thirty-six islands became a chaotic place with no law, there was no right or wrong, and only those who could hand over 100,000 berries every year were the winners.

Umezu got a very ironic luck, because she had the talent to draw charts, and was able to join the Fish-Man Pirates and live in a law-abiding area, which also prevented the village of Cocosia from being drawn into chaos from the beginning, and the loss was not large.

She was glad more than once that the aesthetics of the fish-people were completely opposite to humans, as the "ugliest" of the fish-man pirates, not only did nothing bad happen, but also because of her strong talent, when the charts of the sea areas near the thirty-six islands were planned, she and the fish-man pirates made an agreement:

100 million berry to buy the village of Cocoia.

"Good!" Aaron, who was extremely greedy for money, agreed without hesitation.

Today.

Mei Tang returned to the sea area of the Fishman Empire with the last part of the 100 million yuan, she has nostalgia, and some people and things want to forget, she has hatred, but also happiness......

After going back this time, what she wants most is to continue her ten-year-old life, inherit her adoptive mother's family business, and live well.

It's here!

Mei Tachibana saw the fishmen guarding the harbor lighthouse looking at her, clearly aware of their disgusted expressions, but hiding their fearful gazes.

Among the fishmen, there is a clear hierarchy.

Fish-people with strong strength, fish-people with average strength, and fish-people with weak strength...... The superior can regard the inferior as a slave.

Mei Tang once heard that Lu Yu talked about Ah Q's story, and Ah Q slapped Ah Q in the face, which made the people at the bottom take Ah Q very seriously, after all, he can be raised by Mr. Zhao, and he can't be regarded as an ordinary person.

And as the leader of the Fishman Empire, Ah Long values it, and naturally becomes the superior.

Mei Tang hadn't thought about it before, but after being an official for a while, he realized that although some types of fishmen were not very powerful, they were more able to use the power of the ocean.

She had seen a very weak fish-man, who could find the black oil hidden in the bottom of the sea, and she didn't understand it at first, thinking that this very weak fish-man was really weak, but now she found ...... For entire civilizations and kingdoms, this talent is simply unimaginable, and it is impossible to let the guards defend them.

"They all said they were going to forget about ......"

Mei Tang shook her head, then squeezed her hand and threw a punch in the air, making a crisp sound.

"It's stronger than before...... But I still seem to be quite weak...... It's a waste of the master's teachings! She sighed, and returned to the appearance of the senior cadres of the Fish-Man Pirates, eerie and intimidating.

Time passed slowly, and the gate of the Fish-Man Paradise, the headquarters of the Fish-Man, also appeared in front of Mei Tachia's eyes, and she ignored it, turned around, and steered the ship towards the port near the village of Cocoia.

Soon after, she set foot in her homeland from the uninhabited harbor and followed the path she had walked alone to an orange grove, which was nearly ripe and fragrant.

There is a plum tree in front of the door, with dry black and yellow branches, but when the oranges are fully ripe and picked, the plum blossoms will sprout and when they bear fruit, the orange tree will also bloom.

The adoptive mother did not have the luxury of expecting a nameless baby to survive from the pile of the dead for a long time, but she also imagined that like the plum and orange trees next to her home, new flowers and fruits would flourish in a short period of time.

My sister heard the movement and walked out of the house, looking at a bad girl with a tattoo, I don't know if it was good or bad, when she was picked up by the female navy, she already had her own name: Nokiko.

The woman, who had forgotten the past and wanted to guard the orange grove and plum trees, looked at her sister who had returned, and beckoned her to come back to the house as before, and made a cup of sour tea mixed with dried plums and dried oranges, and quietly waited for her sister to spit out to her.

What Nuo Qike was waiting for was a smile, a happy and bright smile, a smile that hadn't been seen in eight years, and this unfamiliar smile made her ask a little overwhelmed, "What's wrong, what's wrong?" ”

"I met a very good friend this time, and I was going to steal something of value from the caravan ship, but I didn't expect the pirates to attack the caravan ship, which is not surprising...... But then, a very large steel ship ran over the pirate ship and smashed it to pieces......"

Mei Tachibana told a story, no, a fairy tale.

In the end, the two friends who played casually parted ways and walked to the end with a smile.

Then, into the harsh reality.

"You're not lying to me, are you!?" Nokiko really didn't believe it, it was a little more bizarre than Cinderella's story.

"How could I lie to you!" Mei Tang smiled, clicked, slapped a wad of money on the table, and said loudly: "This is the salary I get as an official!" ”

“……”

Nuo Qi was stunned for a moment, she didn't expect that what Mei Tang said was true.

Smiling, she quickly took the money on the table in her hand.

Mei Cheng was a little stunned, not knowing what her sister was doing.

"When you are an adult, you should also hand over the ...... family"

"It's too wasteful to hand over the money you got for the first time to Aaron."

Nokiko took out a box with an iron lock from the mezzanine of the wooden bed, looked at it with a small look, and opened the lock, revealing the space that had been empty since he bought the sisters' lives eight years ago.

Nokiko solemnly put the money inside, and then placed the box in the hidden wooden bed mezzanine.
