One Piece Codex

Rainbow Kingdom, Volcanic Highlands, [Rainbow Castle].

In the magnificent castle, Satoshi Kon sat gracefully on the throne with a crown on her head and a red robe. She looked into the shadows with complex eyes and a wry smile appeared on the corner of her mouth.

"I won't do that."

She stood up resolutely, her eyes suddenly sharp.

"And, so what if it's fake, as long as there is no doubt in the faith, that's enough!"

The figure in the shadow was silent for a while, and finally raised his gun and said:

"In that case, I have no choice."

"boom!"

A gunshot echoed in the empty hall, and the woman's black hair was scattered in a pool of blood, bright and bright red.

······

Sea cliff edge.

The remaining slave traders were startled by the unexpected situation. Before they had time to see clearly what happened, the accomplice who was playing with the prey a second ago had turned into a corpse.

The slave trader stared at the two people who suddenly appeared across from him with vigilance. When he saw Tiger's appearance clearly, his heart skipped a beat.

[Damn it, an adult male fish-man! 】

Male fishmen are no better than female fishmen. Their physical fitness is several times stronger than that of ordinary humans. The slave trader knows very well that he is no match for Tiger.

Just as he was about to retreat, he turned around and tried to slip away.

however.

"Blow the water!"

An attack that was exactly the same as Tiger's before was shot out from the woods, and the water droplet directly hit the slaver's stomach, but the power was less than Tiger's karate, and the other party just fell to the ground in pain.

Just when Tiger was wondering who hit the water, two figures walked out of the woods.Both are male fish-men, one is a tall and thin yellow-skinned seahorse fish-man, and the other has two eyes strangely on the same side of his face. He is short and fat and looks like he should be a flounder man.

The seahorse fish man strode over, twitching his long tube-like mouth, and said angrily: "Hmph, how brave, how dare you catch slaves here!"

Knocking the slaver unconscious, he grabbed the other person's hair and the slaver was picked up like a dead dog.The seahorse fishman glanced at the body of another slave trader on the ground, then turned to look at Levi and Tiger.

"Thank you for your generous action."

He nodded in thanks, his eyes lingered on Tiger for a moment, and he said with some surprise:

"Unfamiliar faces, are you not residents of the Rainbow Kingdom?"

Seeing that the slave trader was dealt with, Tiger returned to his previous boldness. He scratched his head and said:

"Ahaha, we are explorers, but we ran out of food and heard that there is a good country nearby, so we happened to pass by. It was an emergency, so we came directly from the sea."

Compared to the seahorse fish-man's surprise, Tiger was actually more surprised.Being able to meet several fellow villagers in a small country in the South China Sea made him feel very cordial and at the same time, he couldn't help but feel a little happy even in his tone of voice.

"The Rainbow Nation welcomes kind and brave people, but please remember to come with me to re-register to the island later."

The seahorse fish man simply greeted her warmly and then ordered the flounder man to help the injured woman fish return to town first.

The female fish walked among a few people. She wiped her dirty face, first bowed gratefully to Tiger and Levi and thanked her, then faced the seahorse fish man and said Nunuo:

"Brother Rich, I, I..."

Richie interrupted with a wave of his hand and spoke softly.

"Okay, Agatha, your wound needs a simple bandage now, it's better to go back to town quickly. Don't worry, the culprit will be executed, and no one can bully us here,"

The voice paused.

"Also, don't run around next time."

Agatha pursed her lips and nodded slightly, but said no more.For convenience, she was carried on the Flounder Man's back toward the town.

[Is this a mermaid? 】

Looking at the other party's leaving figure, Levi pondered slightly.

Two shells cover her proud breasts, and her fish-scale tail shines in the sun. If you brush off the mud and grass on her tender white face, Agatha will definitely match all his fantasies about mermaids. It’s no wonder she was targeted by slave traders. .

However, there is always a strange feeling that lingers, something familiar.

As for what was strange about it, he couldn't tell at the moment.

Rich dragged the unconscious slave trader and led Tiger and Levi towards the dock.To prevent illegal entry, you need to register to enter the Rainbow Country, but luckily you don’t have to pay an entry fee.

Along the way, Tiger wants to learn more.

"Are you all residents of the Rainbow Kingdom?"

The hospitable Richie was not afraid of visitors, he said enthusiastically:

"That's right, it's not just us, there are dozens of fish-people living in this country."

Dozens of households?Tiger raised his thick eyebrows when he heard this and said uncertainly:

"Could it be that the Rainbow Kingdom also has a fish-man living area like Fish-Man Street?"

It is already a rare thing to meet people from Fish-Man Island all over the world, but how can you bump into a group of them all at once?

"Of course not. The Rainbow Kingdom is not just the Fish-Man Island. It is the exclusive territory of the fish people. The fish people and humans here all live together." Richie replied with a smile.When he spoke, his tube-shaped mouth always twitched, as if biting a straw, "And, for this kind of scumbag who buys and sells mermaids."

As he spoke, he lifted the slave trader's head like a chicken.

"It is an existence that will never be allowed in the Rainbow Kingdom. He will be sentenced to death. So ordinary fishmen and mermaids don't have to worry about being captured and used as slaves."

"Is it……"

Hearing is false, seeing is believing, Tiger remains dubious.

Although the confident smile raised at the corner of the other party's mouth does not seem to be fake, he has explored countless places and has never seen any country where humans and fishmen coexist peacefully. Even if there is such a thing, it is only a handful or an exception, far from dozens. Such an exaggeration.

Tiger and Richie chatted from time to time, while Levi followed behind and rarely spoke.He looked left and right, observing the environment, and suddenly found that the trees around him were arranged neatly, and the gaps between the tree trunks were evenly distributed, like a regular matrix.

Maybe these trees were planted by humans, and Li Wei didn't pay much attention to it, but as the path gradually deepened...

"...

Love cannot bear the breakup in the world.

The empty days are woven under the cobwebs,

Your light goes out in sorrow.

......

In the spider web, a spider is squatting.

Living people, be careful about breakups in this world.

......"

It was a vague melody, like babble, but also like sadness. Even if Li Wei turned on his senses and heightened his senses, he could only hear intermittent singing.

While they were wondering, they passed a rock, and the scene to the right suddenly became clear.

A few beams of sunshine shone on the calm and clear water of the pool, and the shadows of the fleeting fish could be clearly seen. A half-person-thick peach tree stood beside the small pool, with pink petals falling on the surface of the pool. Flower ripples.

Under the peach tree, leaning on an unkempt man, dressed in rags and with messy hair covering half of his face, he looked like a beggar.

He stared blankly at the pool, his lips covered by his beard moved, and he hummed the melody that Li Wei had just heard.
