One Piece: Kaido the Beast Playing House.

Chapter 547 Furious Tiger
"What's going on? Shamiel? Don't be anxious, don't be anxious, explain clearly and take a breath first."

It was the first time that Tiger saw Xia Mier in such a panic. The fear on her face was beyond words. Sorry, Tiger was so frightened that he really didn't hear clearly what she just shouted.

"Tiger, Uncle Tiger, um, um, run, run, cough cough cough, thank you, cough cough cough."

After running for a long time and relying on his momentum to say those words, Shamil became breathless and coughed madly after he stopped. After taking the cup of water handed over by Tiger, he gulped it down. Only after he had finished the glass of water did Shamil recover a little.

"What's going on? Shamiel, why are you running so fast?"

Tiger took away the empty cup, stroked Shamil's back with his big hand and asked softly. Tiger really liked this graceful country girl. Of course, it was not the kind of love between men and women, but more like the love that an elder has for a younger generation.

“Uncle, Uncle Tiger, run, they, they are here to catch you, cough cough cough.”

Shamir was a little anxious. Although she had recovered a little at this moment, her breathing was still unstable, so she spoke intermittently. But this time, Tiger finally understood what Shamir wanted to say. As a merman who had been outside for many years, Tiger had seen too many situations where people wanted to capture him. After all, although he was just a male merman and not the most valuable female mermaid, no matter what, their clan was a "hot-selling product" at the slave auction, and being hunted had become the norm.

"Are there any pirates on the island?"

Tiger's first reaction was this. After all, this island was a relatively closed one. There were almost no slave traders passing by here, and the people on the island hardly went out. However, pirates were hard to guard against. You didn't know where they would pop out from. After all, he was currently in the West Sea among the four seas. There were a lot of pirates in the West Sea, and no one knew when a pirate group would pop out.

Of course, Tiger is not afraid of these pirates from the four seas. Although the pirates from the four seas are not necessarily weak, at least compared to Tiger who has traveled to the New World and the Grand Line, the pirates from the four seas can still be dealt with, especially since he can go into the sea at any time and those pirates cannot catch him.

"No, not pirates, yes, this. Oh, I brought back a copy. Look, Uncle Taylor, the newspaper they were reading today was thrown aside, and I picked it up."

Xia Mier took out a folded newspaper from the small basket on her body. She didn't dare to take the whole newspaper, but the bold and black headlines on the front page were enough.

《Open pricing! The World Government officially announced that it would strike back at Fishman Island's provocative behavior.》

Tiger saw the huge title. He didn't know what happened to Fishman Island during the years since he left. Why did the World Government do this? Wasn't Fishman Island a member of the World Government? Why was it called a provocation? What did Fishman Island do? And there was a public price? What was this for?
Tiger anxiously began to read the small print below. As expected, this report was written by Morganse himself. At the beginning, Morganse first reviewed the previous statement of Fishman Island and informed everyone of the cause of the incident. Then, Morganse recorded in detail what the World Government’s spokesperson said, such as the sanctions against Fishman Island, etc., and then came the theme, public pricing.

The newspaper wrote in detail that all mermaids and mermen were uniformly regarded as slaves, and anyone had the right to capture and execute mermen or mermen. The world government would purchase the mermaids and mermen uniformly, and would pay even for dead bodies. It even recorded in detail the price standards for each type of mermaid or merman. It was a very detailed breakdown, and Tiger's eyes widened as he saw it, and his steel teeth were almost bitten to pieces.

"Damn world government!"

Tiger threw the newspaper on the table, his already red face became even redder, and even began to turn black, as if he was ready to devour someone.

"Uncle Tiger, the mayor and the landlords all know about you. I saw them ordering you to be arrested. Run quickly. If they catch you, you're done." Xia Mier looked at Tiger's angry look at the moment and said anxiously, "Now is not the time to be angry! Run first!" Although the village gangster Oga was fooled by him, other people would not come to ask him. I'm afraid they will come directly after a while. It will be troublesome then!

"No, Shamiel, although I am also very anxious at the moment, Shamiel, I can't leave now."

Although he was very angry now, Tiger had not lost his mind at this moment. The Shamiel family had done him a favor. If he just left like this, soon, the mayor and landlords who couldn't find him would vent their anger on the Shamiel family. He couldn't let the family that had done him a favor suffer this unexpected disaster, so he couldn't leave. Besides, these arrogant thugs in the village were nothing but a bunch of dogs and clay in front of him!
"No, why can't you leave? I finally tricked Mr. Oga away. If you don't leave, the village chief and his men will come soon and take you away!"

Xia Mier had no idea what Tiger was thinking at the moment. After all, she was just a little girl in the village who had never seen the world. The people in this village were quite good to some extent. Even those landlords and gangsters who looked very bad were considered innocent by outsiders. But precisely because of this, Tiger knew how much impact the amount of money written in the newspaper had on these people. This sum of money would definitely make these landlords, who were no different from local tyrants, take risks. If they lost this money, they would naturally vent their anger on Xia Mier's family.

"It's very simple, Xia Mier. If I leave, your family will have a hard time. After all, you once took in people from a race that was banned by the World Government. If I leave like this, your family will not end up well. Believe me, it's okay. They can't hurt me."

Tiger looked at the child who had been worried about him and comforted him, and touched her head with a smile. Although he had no idea what was going on on the World Government's Fish-Man Island, at least his experience on this island made him believe one thing, that is, there are still good people in this world. What Princess Otohime said at the time was right. Humans, fish-men and mermaids can live together. What affects them is not race, but the World Government's propaganda and the prejudice in their hearts.

"But, but!"

Xia Mier was still very anxious, but she didn't know what to say. After all, she was just a village girl who had never been to school and had never seen the outside world. It was Tiger who taught her to read during this period.

"Don't worry kid, it's okay, and it's too late for me to leave now, right?"

Tiger's ears moved. He had heard the noisy sounds coming from outside the door, which were filled with teasing, fighting, carelessness and some yearning for money. But unfortunately, I, Fisher Tiger, am a merman, and as everyone knows, mermen eat meat!

"bump!"

The door of Xia Mier's house was kicked open, and the landlord's thugs walked into the house with arrogant steps. He was carrying a steel knife on his body. At this moment, all he had in mind was to catch the fishman and get a large sum of money. He would then directly withhold the money and then bring back a batch of equipment. With the equipment, he and his brothers would directly kill the landlord and the mayor. Then they could become the new landlords. He would be the mayor, and his brothers would be the landlords. How happy their life would be. When the time came, they would eat steamed buns and dip them in brown sugar or white sugar. They could also get some girls from the city to play with.

"Hey! You red-skinned guy! Come out here right now! If you listen to me, I'll exchange you for money. If I'm in a good mood, I might even buy you a bottle of wine so that you can have a quick death before you die. If you don't come out, your whole family will suffer! Hahahaha!"

The leader of the thugs laughed loudly. He hoped that the murloc would come out and go with them. After all, it was written in the newspaper that the price of a living murloc and a dead murloc was not the same. The value of the two was more than dozens of times higher. It would be best to get a living one.

"Oh? Should I thank you then?" Tiger's cold voice came closer and closer, accompanied by the sound of footsteps.
