408 Return to Chambord
"((((( feed )))))......"
Kemi lay on the side of the boat, shouting out to the sea in the shape of a trumpet with his hand.
"What is this doing?" Uta asked curiously.
"She's summoning a school of fish to ask for directions, and mermaids can communicate with ordinary fish and animals, of course, sea beasts and sea kings can't communicate, otherwise Kemi won't be eaten by sea beasts often." Hachi explained.
"Merfolk still have this power?"
Luffy asked in shock, he only remembered that Shirahoshi was born as a sea king, and he had the power to communicate and command the sea kings.
I didn't expect that ordinary mermaids could do it, but their strength was much weaker, and they could only communicate with ordinary fish.
"It's so powerful, the Fish-People are too strong, right?" Uta and Nami look at Kemi in surprise.
No wonder Aquaman will only be born in the Fish-Man Clan, and the power of ordinary mermaids is like a youthful version of Aquaman.
"Hehe, it's not that good." Kemi rubbed his head embarrassedly and smirked.
The fish at the bottom of the sea heard Kemi's call and poured into the sea to communicate with Kemi.
Luffy opened his domineering aura and vaguely heard what information they were transmitting.
But I couldn't hear the specifics.
Uta pricked up her ears and leaned over to Kemi.
"Blurred, inaudible, inaudible......"
"Utta, can you hear the voice? We didn't hear anything. Guina asked.
"I can only hear a little, maybe infrasound or ultrasound?" Uta asked uncertainly.
"I can't hear anything when I open it." Nami shook her head.
"Is it a physical problem?" Luffy wondered.
"I'll communicate with the fish, and they'll take us to 44 Chambord Islands, which is the civilian entrance."
As Kemi spoke, the fish took the shape of arrows in the sea, leading the way in front of the Hero.
"It's incredible!!" Luffy's eyes widened as he watched the scene.
"So the question is, do you think we're eating people when we eat fish?" Luffy asked.
"Wait, Luffy, what do you think so?" Uta asked curiously.
"Because, they can talk to mermaids, so in the eyes of mermaids, aren't we equivalent to eating a talking person?" Luffy thought strangely.
"Stupid! If we cared about that, we wouldn't be able to eat! Notchy's eyes widened.
Kemi opened his mouth, his eyes flew out in surprise, and his tongue became wavy, "Do you eat people!! ”
"Luffy don't have these strange questions, forget about them, forget them all for me!" Nokigao drilled Luffy's temple with his joint.
These are so strange that if she thought about it, she wouldn't have to be a chef!
"I'm sorry......"
With the passage of time, the Chambord Islands gradually appeared in front of everyone.
Countless bubbles rise into the sky naturally, refracted by the sunlight with colorful light, like a dreamy romantic island in a beautiful girl's fairy tale.
"It's so beautiful~" Uta put her hands on Luffy's shoulders, handed her whole body weight to Luffy, rested her chin on Luffy's head, and sighed at the dream city shrouded in bubbles.
"Super pretty!" Nami and Vivi look at the giant dream bubble in the distance.
Even Robin could see it, "It's a magical landscape." ”
"What's going on with these bubbles?" Guina's mouth opened slightly, curious.
"The Chambord Islands are the Island of Trees, made up of super-giant mangroves." Uta said.
The super huge Yarki mangrove tree, because the roots of the tree have been exposed on the surface of the water, did not sink, and then because the roots of the tree secrete a special natural resin due to respiration, the resin expands to form bubbles because of the air, and then flies into the sky, forming a fantastic island of trees.
It is also what the pirates call "the island of failure" and "the island of starting again".
Humans built houses on bare roots, and then used bridges to link other numbered mangroves, creating huge islands.
The ship stopped in front of the main trunk of No. 44, and the Uta had never been here, and when they came to the Chambord Islands before, they went directly to the Red Port of the Naval Port, which was equivalent to the official port, and it was far from the civilian port.
Robin stepped on the soft lawn, only to feel that his feet didn't feel right, and then leaned over to touch it, and a puddle of sticky resin appeared on his hands.
"It's disgusting...... Robin instantly thought of the picture he had seen with his abilities, and then looked at the resin slime in his hand, only to feel that he was not clean, and he touched something that Luffy had punched.
He frowned and wiped his hand on Luffy's buttocks.
"Hey, don't touch me!" Luffy looked at Robin's unhygienic behavior.
"Because Luffy reminds me of bad things." Robin turned his face sideways.
"I can be blamed for this, it's too much!"
Vivi wiped Luffy with a tissue.
"It's better to be a sister."
Vivi blushed slightly, and rode onto Karui.
"The coating is to use the resin here to wrap the entire ship, and you can dive to Fish-Man Island, right?" She asked.
"Well, only a skilled worker can apply the resin perfectly, and if the technique is not good, it is easy for the resin to crack and the whole ship is crushed to pieces." Hachi nodded.
"It's a pity that a super material born from a tree can only be used in the climate of the Chambord Islands." Luffy said regretfully.
"I don't know how huge the strongest tree should be for Adam, it's a super tree that has stood the fire for a long time and will not be destroyed."
In the case of pirates, who tend to be Greek-style, the trees over there can be called the World Tree, right?
Hachi and Kemi rubbed for a while before getting off the boat, and Uta saw that he and Kemi were tightly wrapped, and Kemi was carried by Hachi like a baby, and all non-human signs were covered up.
"It's a summer island, isn't it? Aren't you guys hot like this? Uta frowned.
"I'm sorry, the situation on this island is very complicated, near the island is the Navy headquarters, and there are countless pirates on this island who want to enter the new world, as well as bounty hunters, human trafficker groups, it's too troublesome, Kemi and I have to disguise it." Hachi explained.
"The people here are very powerful, there are no half-assers, even the wrist strength that the fishmen are proud of cannot take advantage, please treat us as humans, and don't think of us as mermaids and fishmen."
"After all, even if pirates are sold as slaves, they will not be protected."
"That is ...... said," Uta frowned.
This involves the underlying logic of the world government's enactment of laws.
The laws of the World Government are only in effect for the member countries of the World Government, and the Navy will only protect these people.
Other than that, humans are not protected, that is, they can do whatever they want to them, and there will be no problems.
That is, non-residents of the world government have no source of human rights.
Even if it is a navy, there is no legal problem with doing evil to the human beings of non-member countries, and there is only moral discomfort.
Xiaoba's identity belongs to the gray area.
"Even if Hachi-chan is a pirate, so that's the case, but Kemi is a resident of Fish-Man Island, and he is theoretically protected by the navy?" Uta asked curiously.
"It's understandable that it can't be blessed because it's at the bottom of the sea, but the Fish-Man Navy on the shore should be able to manage it, right?"
“……”
Even Dusty was confused.
"There are a few fish-people in the four seas, but they live peacefully."
"Although it is said in law, there is no way for the mermaids who have been captured as slaves to find protection for themselves with their Fish-Man Island citizenship, and we are used to this kind of life." Hachi explained.
"Besides, even the nobles of the world like mermaids, even if it is the navy, there is nothing they can do in the face of the nobles of the creator."
"The most special group of people, known as the descendants of the Creator, are said to have saved the world, so they have been given the supreme privilege and become the nobility of the world, and no law can be imposed on them, and they have the right to do whatever they want." Robin whispered their identities.
At the time of the weakest naval power, the nobility of the world was not in the cities of the Red Continent.
However, as the navy went through that more difficult period and gathered the strength of the three admirals, the navy was re-established.
As a result, the nobles of the world, the Draconians, occasionally appear in the cities of the Chambord Islands.
The unruly pirates will be silent to the Draconians, and you can imagine the heavy pressure they bring to the world.
Without the Draconians, there would be no world.
Therefore, they are rightfully privileged.
This is the consensus of the world.
"Those bastards, can't they get along with everyone?" Uta was also aware of some of the deeds of the Celestial Dragon people, and did not hesitate to insult the Celestial Dragons.
"Wait, don't let others hear you scold the Celestial Dragons!" Xiao Ba panicked in an instant, looking around nervously.
Luckily they didn't enter the city, so there weren't many people around.
"If you want to talk about the Draconians, we have a super cute one here." Nami pinched Vivi's cheek.
"We don't have any privileges of the Draconians, it seems that for some reason, the ancestors voluntarily gave it up, besides, aren't there serious conflicts between the Draconians and Alabastan?" Vivi hurriedly stopped.
"Huh! Is Vivi a Draconian?!! Kemi looked at Vivi riding the duck in shock.
"It's a bit of a history."
"The Weiwei family is the only one who has given up entering the Holy Land and stayed in the human world." Nami said with a shrug.
"I can't see it at all, and I don't have that stinky bubble in front of us, and I don't breathe the same air as us." Hachi shook his head and said in disbelief.
"I didn't expect you to be a princess of Alabastan." Kemi looked at Vivi curiously.
"I'm just here to travel the world with my companions and gain knowledge." Vivi said.
Kemi didn't want to discuss the topic of the Draconians, and looked at the super Ferris wheel in the sky, "I really want to do that, everything made by humans is so interesting." ”
"Giant Ferris wheel?" Uta followed Kemi's gaze and became excited.
"No, Kemi." Hachi said solemnly.
"I know," Kemi muttered, a look of visibly lost look.
"Why not? Let's go up! Uta looked sideways, paying attention to Kemi's voice.
Then smile.
"We're aliens, we'll definitely be found if we go up!" Hachi said anxiously.
“……”
Uta quickly ran to the front of the group, smiling brightly and firmly.
"Will there be a problem?"
She seemed to be asking Hachi, and she seemed to be asking herself.
"If this kind of trivial matter can be difficult, then I won't be a naval hero, no problem at all." Luffy said with a grin.
"Let's go up and play, Ferris wheel."
"Mr. Luffy, don't be impulsive!" Hachi said nervously.
"What nonsense are you talking about?"
"Kemi is a citizen of Fish-Man Island, a member of the World Government, and is under the protection of the Navy, so there is no problem at all from the point of view of the procedure."
"Whether it's a pirate or a world nobleman or a bounty hunter, I'll clean it up." Luffy's eyes lit up with a hint of red.
"That being said, for now, it's quite troublesome to kill the world nobles, if you do......" Luffy looked serious.
Hachi's heart also lifted, and Nami hissed at Luffy.
"I don't know if grandpa can make me a world nobleman, kill a vegetable and have a strong one." Luffy calculated.
"Aren't the five old stars very profitable?"
"Is it okay?" Kemi was shocked.
"Haha, just kidding, if I really make this kind of opinion, grandpa will beat me into a patty." Luffy said with a D-like smile.
"You're going to scare me to death." Hachi wiped the cold sweat from his face.
"Can I really go play with the Ferris wheel?" Kemi asked Luffy nervously.
"It's okay, I'm a naval hero." Luffy said gently.
"So if you must go over there, let's rent a bubble car to get around." Hachi said.
The bubble car is a vehicle assembled from a bubble and a bicycle module.
The store first took out a resin bubble with no technical content and threw it to Luffy.
"First force your body into the bubble."
Resin bubbles look light and can fly in the air, but they are extremely tough, and it is difficult for humans to damage them.
Luffy stuffed his head into the bubble, and he breathed smoothly and was no different from the outside world, which meant that this thing was breathable.
After that, the store handed Luffy the bike module.
"Stuff this in again, put it under the buttocks, and people can move while lying down and stepping on the pedal, isn't it amazing?"
Behind the mold of the bicycle is a jet trumpet-shaped substance, which can be sprayed with wind by pressing the pedals, and then fly freely through the air.
"Well, it only takes ten thousand Baileys to buy this thing." The shopkeeper held up a finger.
"It's too expensive, we just need to rent a big bubble car." Hachi ignores the profiteers' rhetoric.
"What, it's a local." The vendor looked helpless, knowing that the bubble car couldn't fool this group of people.
