Chapter 23: Mermaid Island
, Lu Xi, who left the Xiangbuo Islands, rushed directly to the Mermaid Island directly below the Red Earth Continent. While rushing to the Mermaid Island, he looked at the seabed scenery outside through the eyes of the wooden shark, among the colorful and various fish.
Continuously swimming and shuttling on the bottom of the sea.
It made Luci want to go swimming outside, but he thought that his human body without dragon transformation could not overcome the influence of the Devil Fruit, just like he couldn't use the Devil Fruit when he transformed into a dragon. If he transformed into a dragon here, he would definitely be outside.
They would all be scared away. In order to enjoy the scenery, Lu Xi had to give up the idea of transforming into a dragon and continue to stay in the body of the wooden shark.
Later, Lu Xi, who felt a little bored, simply fell asleep inside the wooden shark's body. When Lu Xi woke up, the wooden shark had stopped on a piece of land. Lucy walked out and looked up at the ocean above his head and smiled.
I thought: Yes, this is the hometown of Mermaid on the Great Route of Mermaid Island. Without Lucy's vitality, the supporting wood shark quickly turned into a pile of rotten wood, and Lucy trampled it into pieces with a single kick.
He quickly left here, and when he saw Luci again, he was already on a pedestrian street. Walking here, Luci felt the gap between races. Almost every mermaid here looked at him with disdain.
Friendly eyes. But is there anything he can do to change it? Just because his strength is too low. In front of the four emperors, generals, five old stars and other super powerful men, he is now using all his moves to protect himself. Where does it come from?
He has the power to change the world, but the task of changing the world is the task of his cheap dad and it has nothing to do with him!
Just when he was thinking of this, radicals who hated humans appeared, and a stone was thrown at him. Lu Xi, who felt something flying towards him, dodged and looked at the thing that fell to the ground.
Stone Lucy turned to look at the little fish man who was throwing stones at him. Lucy didn't bother him, picked up the stone on the ground and crushed it with a little force. Seeing Lucy crushing the stone, the little fish
People were frightened and ran and shouted.
"No, the bad guys are here again! They are coming to catch us again!"
Lucy was speechless by his words. Looking at the adult fishmen who were attracted by the little fishman's words, Lucy explained with a serious expression.
"Don't listen to that kid's nonsense. I was just passing by Mermaid Island and I didn't mean any harm."
"Every cunning human who captured us said this, and we no longer believe it."
A fish-man's voice came into Luci's ears, and Luci instantly wanted to cut into pieces those who made the words stink. When Luci felt that the explanation was no longer effective, he put on a defensive posture and prepared
Resisting the angry attacks of the mermaids. And just when those attacks were about to fall on Lucy, a kind female voice sounded from behind the mermaids.
"Everyone stop it."
When Lucy heard this voice, she felt that it sounded familiar, but he thought carefully and thought that he had never heard this voice in the previous life of One Piece. Only after seeing the real person did Lucy remember who it was. It turned out that it was the voice that had always been determined in the previous life of One Piece.
For Princess Otohime, who wanted humans and mermaids to live in peace, the fishmen put down their weapons after hearing Princess Otohime's words. When Lucy saw that the fishermen had given up attacking her, she put away her defense and moved towards Otohime.
The princess saluted.
"Hello, Princess Otohime. My name is Monkey D. Luci, and I am currently a naval cadet. I borrowed Mermaid Island just to capture a pirate in the new world, and there is no malicious intention."
"Mr. Luci, I made you laugh. My subjects hate you because of the large-scale arrests of humans. I hope you can forgive me!"
"Princess, you are too polite. This is the fault of us humans and the fault of those nobles. Although I am not a powerful and great person, I still want to say sorry to you."
Luci sincerely apologized to them. In his previous life, he had read in the textbook that humans sold black Africans in the past, which made him feel guilty for the fish-people without knowing it. In this world, Luci seemed to have seen the book in his previous life.
As mentioned above, hundreds of years ago, when white people were rampant in the world, white people in previous lives were equivalent to the nobles of this world. Only by understanding the pain and consequences of actions can people remember those crimes in history and be aware of them all the time.
Be careful not to let those cruel histories repeat themselves. The current Lucy understands the pain of selling other races in her previous life. Only in this life can she understand and understand the fate of the fish people and apologize.
The fishmen who saw Luci's apology suddenly felt a little overwhelmed, because this was the first time they had received an apology from a human. After hearing Luci's apology, Princess Otohime realized that he had the same problem as her.
Thought.
"Mr. Luci, please get up quickly. The mistake is not yours and you don't need to apologize."
"Princess, even if I didn't commit the crime, I belong to the same family as them..."
As she was talking, Lucy suddenly remembered that her true identity was not a human being, but a dragon. It was because she had been so absorbed in the association that she had forgotten her true identity. Princess Otohime looked at
Lucy stopped talking in the middle of the sentence and felt a little doubtful. Feeling the questioning look in Princess Otohime's eyes, Lucy thought that she had already said it up to this point and there was no way she could finish it.
"While living under the same sky, I felt that I should apologize on their behalf."
"Mr. Luci, you are too polite. Since you are not a bad person, just follow me to the palace as a guest!"
"No, Princess. I still have a mission and I'm in a hurry. Let's go next time!"
Hearing Lu Xi's rejection, Princess Otohime's eyes showed a little disappointment, "Okay! Mr. Lu Xi, take care! I hope you come next time." Lu Xi nodded and turned to leave, and just after Lu Xi left, B
Princess Ji also left this street. Luci Bing said goodbye to the princess and did not stay too long on Mermaid Island. Luci, who drove the wooden shark to leave Mermaid Island, looked back and saw this island in the deep sea.
It was like something from a fairy tale. It was full of dreams and beauty. Unconsciously, he had a premonition that he would come here again. While the wooden shark was swimming slowly, Lucy also saw the legendary ship of the end of the world.
Noah, it's really big, three or four times bigger than him in dragon form. I thought that if it suddenly fell, just like when Luffy and the others arrived here in the original book, without Princess Shirahoshi's Neptune ability to summon Neptunes to help, it would probably be
Mermaid Island will be destroyed as a result.
When Princess Otohime of Mermaid Island returned to the palace and saw her husband Neptune, she immediately told him what happened to Lucy on the island today.
"My dear, today I met a human on the island who has the same thoughts as me."
"Really? My dear princess."
"Well! I think my idea will come true. We fish people can also coexist peacefully with humans like other races."
