Chapter 122: Good Luck Draco and Fish-Man Island
"It's okay, we are very familiar with this sea area, and we don't need a pointer to know the way." The "we" here presumably refers to Princess Otohime herself and the fish pulling the boat.
If an ordinary ship wants to go to Fish-Man Island, in addition to relying on the pointer, it also needs a good navigator to keep an eye on the surrounding environment and currents, so as not to run into obstacles, damage the bubble wrap or ride the wrong current.
According to Brooke, once you accidentally enter the deep current, it can take thousands of years to get back to the surface.
Therefore, many powerful pirates will choose to tame a sea beast to pull the boat and improve the chances of survival.
"By the way, you said earlier that you sent a Draco back to Mary Joa, how did he end up on Fish-Man Island?" Zhang Da is also very curious, if he encounters a shipwreck, he won't sink 10,000 meters to Fish-Man Island and still be alive, right?
"I've also asked the reason for this, and it's okay to tell you." Princess Otohime told them the ins and outs.
The reason for this was that three years ago, Fisher Tiger had made a big fuss about Mary Joy, freeing a large number of slaves, as well as the slaves of Musgarud's family, including some fishmen.
For three years, the Draconians have been ordering the World Government and Navy to recover slaves for them, but with little success.
And this year, or not long ago, Tiger died, Jinping joined the Seven Martial Seas, and all members of the Sun Pirates were pardoned, including those who had been slaves.
Most of the Draconians who lost their slaves don't care much about this matter anymore, as long as the culprit is dead, the slaves can be bought again.
And Musgarud is a special case, he thinks that it is his family's property, why can't he recover it, since the navy does not help, then he will go himself.
So this guy with the head of iron took a group of ordinary guards and took a boat to Fish-Man Island, wanting to catch the fish-man himself.
As a result, when he was about to reach Fish-Man Island, he was attacked by sea beasts, and all the ship's guards died, except for Musgarud, who was lucky enough to survive and drifted to Fish-Man Island.
It sounds like a nonsense thing, but it makes sense to put it on the Draconian, and he probably thinks that the sea beasts and the sea currents should obey him.
"Although the motive is terrible, now he has corrected it, and has let go of all the slaves in the family, and promised me that he will never buy slaves again." Princess Otohime is satisfied with the results of her education.
Teaching a Celestial Dragon to be good is simply a miracle in Zhang Daya's opinion, and he even suspects that Princess Otohime has the purifying power of Nangong Wenya.
"That...... Shall we turn off the lights, it is very conspicuous now, and it feels like the big fish outside will pounce at any moment. Rui Mengmeng pointed to a big fish that was enough to bite off half of the boat in one bite, and said with some fear.
"It doesn't matter if there's a little light, a lot of the fish here have degraded eyes, and they don't rely on their eyesight to catch their prey." Princess Otohime said, "And the speed of the eel here is also one of the best. ”
The eel was the name of the fish carrying the boat, and as if in response to Princess Otohime's words, the eel carried them through the sea as fast as they could, into a small hole under the Red Earth Continent.
The small cave is only relative to the Red Clay Continent, but it is already quite large for people and ships.
"The trench in front of you is 10,000 meters deep, and Fish-Man Island is below there!" Princess Otohime is happy that the week's journey away from Fish-Man Island alone has been a long one for her, and she misses her adorable children so much now.
After entering the trench, everyone's eyes suddenly brightened, and it was clear that it was the bottom of the sea, but it was full of sunlight.
The most striking thing is a small island suspended in the sea in front of it, and a large dense tree root next to it.
Princess Otohime introduced, "It is the root of the sun tree Eve, which can transmit sunlight from the sea to Fish-Man Island, so Fish-Man Island has the same day and night as the ground.
At the same time, it can also provide air to Fish-Man Island, and it is because of Yangshu Eve that we can feel the sun and air at a depth of 10,000 meters, which we call the blessing of the sun. ”
Shark pepper taps his own shark head: "It feels completely unscientific." ”
Rui Mengmeng leaned on the railing and looked out: "But it's really magical, and it's like a fairy tale scene here." ”
Artoria looked around, "Like Chambord, it's a fantastic island, no, much more magical than Chambord." ”
Yes, the sun shines on the bottom of the sea, the islands packed in bubbles, the colorful fish, seahorses and other marine creatures around it, the huge tree roots, and the seagrass gently drifting with the current.
It's not scientific, but it's really beautiful.
Tom wanted to jump out for a swim, and it would be a shame not to go out for a swim in such a nice place.
He's the kind of cat that is very mobile, and he wants to go.
Tom jumped out of Princess Otohime's arms as a hungry cat, closed his eyes in mid-air and made a gesture of entering the water.
Then he swam with his eyes closed, breaststroke, backstroke, butterfly, freestyle, and Tom showed off all kinds of swimming styles.
Then he turned and jumped back to the deck, jumping up and down on the deck, jumping and beating his ears to get the water out of it.
When he opened his eyes, a boatload of people leaned forward and backward with laughter.
Tom looked off the screen for some reason, unaware of what was happening.
Because as soon as Tom jumped out, he was caught by Zhang Daye, and when he was swimming with his eyes closed, it was Zhang Daye who supported him with both hands to help him move his position with Tom's swimming style.
So what everyone saw was that Tom jumped on Zhang Daye's hand, closed his eyes and pretended to swim, and after jumping down, he still looked satisfied, and he didn't even notice that the hair on his body was dry.
Zhang Da also held back a smile and hugged Tom: "Okay, I'm done swimming, don't mess around when I'm a guest at someone's place later." ”
Tom nodded, he was polite.
Princess Otohime stopped laughing and said, "This is the back of Fish-Man Island, let's enter through the front entrance. ”
Fish-Man Island is wrapped in two layers of bubble wrap, and between the two layers of membrane is a layer of air, if you don't enter the door illegally, you will fall directly in the air layer, either fall back into the sea, or fall on Fish-Man Island and play with people and boats.
Falling into the sea is not much better, because when the coated ship comes into contact with the bubble film on the outer layer of Fish-Man Island, the coating on the ship will be stripped of the coating, which means that it will fall into the deep sea unprotected and die from the water pressure.
So that Musgarud was really lucky, and he was able to successfully enter Fish-Man Island when he was shipwrecked here.
As soon as Princess Otohime's boat approached the entrance, the soldiers in charge of immigration control immediately became excited:
"It's the princess! The princess is back safely! ”
"Great! Open the entrance! Report to Ryugu Castle! ”
"Otohime-sama!"
Otohime stood at the bow of the ship with a smile on her face and waved to the soldiers: "Everyone~ hard work! I'm back with an important guest! ”
