Chapter 286: Mermaid
Fish-Man Island is a bustling town full of special culture made of large coral reefs and shells.
Although Fish-Man Island also has the same bubble culture as the Chambord Islands, in general, the culture of Fish-People is very different from that of humans.
The intelligent civilization full of special styles is full of attraction for human beings, so there are not a few humans who desperately come to visit Fish-Man Island.
Qiu He and Robin strolled through the fish-man streets, like ordinary tourists, feeling a different cultural atmosphere.
Although Qiu He and the others were released into Fish-Man Island by the guards, if they wanted to see King Neptune, the guards did not have the right to agree directly, so they could only wait for them to report, and Neptune agreed.
Not wanting to stay at the entrance of Fish-Man Island and wait, Qiu He decided to enter Fish-Man Island first, anyway, this place is not big, as long as Qiu He does not deliberately hide, it will be very easy for Neptune to find him.
After all, at the corner of the street, there has always been a Sea King Army following Qiu He, and they look at Qiu He as if they are looking at terrorists, but this is not wrong.
Robbing Heavenly Gold, blowing up the Advance City, kidnapping the Tianlong people, threatening the world government, and finally tearing up the ticket, all of these show Qiu He's identity as the world's top terrorist.
"It's always a little weird, this takoyaki."
Qiu He chewed takoyaki in his mouth and said vaguely.
He had just bought it at a stall on the street, and I don't know if it was because of the environment or because the octopus legs added to it were really special, and this kind of takoyaki tasted much better than the Chambord Islands.
Robin picked up a takoyaki, blew on the hot air, took a small bite, and asked with some confusion, "What's weird?" It's delicious, much more delicious than the takoyaki I've eaten before. ”
"The owner of that stall is an octopus, and an octopus sells takoyaki to you, isn't this the same as a person who sells you human meat barbecued pork buns? In particular, this kind of unscrupulous businessman is likely to cut off his leg as a raw material in order to save costs. Didn't you notice? The stall owner had two legs wrapped in bandages. ”
Having said that, Qiu He didn't stop in his hands, forked the octopus and stuffed it into his mouth one by one.
The fish man sells takoyaki several times as much as in Chambord, but the price is less than half.
Compared to human profiteers, these fish-people are honest people.
Robin's nerves are not as big as Qiu He's, listening to Qiu He say this, she made up some terrible things in her brain, lost her appetite in an instant, and closed the box in her hand.
"Since you already knew, why do you still buy so much, and still ...... Eating so happily. ”
"It's not uncommon for humans to even eat their own kind of creatures, so what's there to care about eating this kind of fish."
Qiu He glanced at the fishmen and mermaids coming and going on the street, and a strange smile appeared on his face.
The island is now sheltered by Whitebeard, the relationship between humans and fish-people is no longer as tense as it was a few years ago, and the fish-people are no longer so hostile to sightseeers.
However, this is only a façade, and humans will never be able to get along with the fish-people.
Just say, 'If it is not of my race, its heart will be different.'" You can summarize the reasons completely.
What's more, human beings are a race that can be cruel to even their own kind, so how can they be expected to share their kindness with other races.
When the mountain that shelters the island falls, Fish-Man Island will be invaded even more brutally than ever.
"Don't worry, these takoyaki we bought are made with small octopus legs, and they are ordinary octopus. As for whether the owner of the stall sells takoyaki made from his own legs, I don't know. ”
“……”
Robin stared at Qiu He speechlessly, and directly put the takoyaki in his hand on Qiu He's hand, anyway, during the time she was on Fish-Man Island, she didn't want to eat fish anymore.
Originally, Qiu He wanted to go straight to Geelong Cod Square through this block, which was the square where Luffy's tiger body shook down 5 people, but when he walked to the door of a certain store, Robin suddenly stopped.
Mermaid Cafe.
There are many differences between mermaids and fishmen, such as mermaids do not eat fish, but fishmen are not taboo, and fishmen selling all kinds of fish and meat are everywhere on Fishman Island, just like the vendors in the night market, but there are basically no mermaid stall owners.
Therefore, this café, which advertises the title of mermaid, must sell what Robin can eat now.
Robin also wanted to try what the coffee on Fish-Man Island tasted like.
"Let's go in and have a look."
Without waiting for Qiu He's reply, Robin walked into the mermaid café first. Qiu He shrugged his shoulders and followed in with an attitude of indifference.
Pushing open the door, a mermaid girl with long pink hair immediately greeted her.
This mermaid girl has a very bright smile on her face, full of vitality, and in order to facilitate walking on land, there is also a bubble ring on the fishtail.
"Welcome to the Mermaid Cafe, what do you two want?"
Qiu He looked at Miss Mermaid with a smile on his face, and asked softly, "Hmm~ May I ask if I can pack you and take it away!" ”
"Huh......"
Miss Mermaid stepped back suddenly, widened the distance between herself and Qiu He, and looked at Qiu He with a frightened expression.
"Qiu He!"
Robin frowned, which made it difficult for people to eat at ease.
"Sorry, sorry, just kidding, don't take it seriously, please have a cup of coffee, a glass of juice, two special snacks, and ten special desserts."
Qiu He said humbly with a smile on his face, and then chose an empty seat to sit down.
"It's not funny at all."
Robin replied with a little displeasure, and opened the empty seat next to Qiu He and sat down.
This is Fish-Man Island, and if you make such a joke, you can easily be treated like a slave trader.
Qiu He smiled and didn't reply, just sat in his seat and looked at the mermaids in the store with admiring eyes, but every mermaid who was swept by Qiu He's gaze would be afraid and avoid Qiu He's gaze.
In the middle of the mermaid café, the owner Xia Li is sitting on a large coral sofa, holding a small pipe in her hand, smoking without a sip.
A little mermaid ran to the room with a frightened face, and cried out, "It's a big deal, Lady Charlie, there's a slave trader in the shop." ”
"Slave traders?"
Xia Li raised her eyebrows slightly and looked at the little mermaid with an anxious face.
Although there are many slave traders who sneak in and want to kidnap mermaids on Fish-Man Island, there are really no slave traders who dare to run to her shop to rob people.
"That's right! The slave trader, who wants to take Sister Yali, is this person. ”
As she spoke, the little mermaid handed a photo she had just taken secretly to Xia Li.
Staring at the person in the photo, Xia Li's brows tightened.
"This is not a slave trader, but he is not a nice person to get along with. Go and invite him in, and remember, be polite. ”
