One Piece: Kaido the Beast Playing House.

Chapter 582 Popular Tiger
"Wow! So beautiful!"

Following the track under their feet, the Red and Blue Force slowly entered the Fishman Island. Although the inspection process was very cumbersome and there were automatic firearms aiming at any time, when they entered the Fishman Island and saw the beautiful scenery inside, the people of the Red Hair Pirates felt that it was all worth it.

"Yes, it's really beautiful. It feels much more beautiful than the last time I came here."

Shanks said as he put his hands on the awning and looked at the scenery around him.

"Indeed, it feels a lot different than when I left."

Tiger looked at the various beautiful houses that had been renovated around him, as well as the smiling faces of people passing by. He couldn't help but sigh that Fishman Island had changed so much in the years since he was away.

"Hey! Isn't that the adventurer Tiger? Hey————! Mr. Tiger!"

After the Red and Blue Force docked at the dedicated pier, a person in charge of pier management looked at Tiger who was standing by the ship and couldn't help but waved to him.

"What! Mr. Tiger is back!"

"Mr. Tiger! Where is Mr. Tiger?"

"Brother Tiger is back! That's great! Brother Tiger is fine!"

Following the administrator's shout, many people on the dock gathered at once, as if looking for Tiger's figure. Those who noticed Tiger also waved to him at the first time. This shows Tiger's influence in Fishman Island.

“Hey, hey, hey, you are worthy of being the number one adventurer of Fishman Island. Your prestige is really high.”

Bucky poked Tiger lightly with his elbow a few times and said half-jokingly.

"My friends, it's just a favor, but it's not a good idea to be blocked like this. Everyone, follow me off the boat. We are at my house now, and I'm here to show my hospitality."

Tiger looked at the growing crowd. He never thought that he had so many supporters. In order to avoid any serious congestion, Tiger prepared to get off the boat as soon as possible.

"Hahahaha! Great! I didn't see much the last time I came to Fishman Island. I spent most of the time on the boat. This time I have to take a good look around. Let's go, everyone! The adventure of Fishman Island has begun!"

Shanks waved excitedly, and everyone followed Tiger off the boat excitedly. At this moment, the Red Hair Pirates felt like their idol was being picked up at the airport. Of course, they were not the idols, they were the assistants who followed the idols. Tiger, who was in the lead, faced the crowd that had surrounded them when nobody knew when, and he struggled to squeeze out with the members of the Red Hair Pirates. He was surprised by the number of people, even if the royal family was on tour, there probably wouldn't be so many people, right?

"Princess Otohime is here!!!"

At this moment, a loud shout was heard, and then, accompanied by the military music of the Sea King's Army, the crowd automatically dispersed to both sides, making way for a path. At this time, Jinbei was seen leading a team of Sea King's Army, walking over in a heroic and high-spirited manner, and behind them followed a royal carriage slowly driving over.

"Princess Otohime? Is she the queen here?"

Hongo asked Beckman in a low voice.

"That should be it. Tiger said before that the queen of Fishman Island is called Otohime."

Beckman put out the cigarette he had just lit and replied in a low voice.

"Welcome back, Brother Tiger."

Jinbei walked up to Tiger and said in a deep voice.

"Long time no see, Jinbei. You've gotten a lot stronger. And what about your clothes? Have you been promoted? Also, why is Princess Otohime here? Why is the scene so grand?"

Tiger looked at Jinbei in front of him and couldn't help asking curiously. Since he approached Fishman Island, everything that happened along the way had confused him. He finally found an acquaintance who could talk, and he couldn't help but ask him properly. Unfortunately, Jinbei was not suitable to answer him now. "Let's talk about it later. Princess Otohime is here."

Jinbei said in a low voice, then turned around and made way. At this moment, Princess Otohime had already walked down from the carriage and slowly came to Tiger.

"Welcome back, the greatest adventurer of our Fishman Island."

Princess Otohime said, looking at Tiger with a smile.

"It's been a long time since we last met, Princess Otohime. You are still as glorious as ever. Thank you for coming here in person. I am honored."

Tiger bowed deeply to Princess Otohime and said, although he had always been a guest of honor of the royal family in the past, this was the first time he had seen such a grand ceremony as the one now. It had to be said that this made him feel a little awkward. He hated these extravagant and empty formalities, and he had been criticized for this by his ministers in the past.

"I'm sorry for making such a big fuss. We originally just wanted to take you to the Dragon King's Palace, but we didn't expect so many people to gather here, so we can only do this for now. Who are the people behind you?"

Princess Otohime whispered to Tiger that she didn't like these useless etiquette very much. After all, she was known as the princess with the least etiquette, and she was often nagged by the Left Minister in the past.

"It's okay, it's okay. Thank you for your hard work, Princess Otohime. Well, these are members of the Red Hair Pirates. I encountered a special situation before. If it weren't for their help, I might not have been able to come back so soon."

After hearing Princess Otohime's explanation, Tiger naturally expressed his understanding and secretly breathed a sigh of relief. It seemed that the changes in Fishman Island were not so great that he could not recognize it at all. Although everyone had changed a lot, the things in their bones remained unchanged and it was still the Fishman Island of the past.

"I see. Then please come with us to the Dragon King's Palace. You have saved the residents of Fishman Island, so you are naturally friends of Fishman Island. Please come and let Fishman Island show its hospitality as a token of gratitude."

Princess Otohime looked at the members of the Red Hair Pirates with a smile. Her perfect image made it impossible for the members of the Red Hair Pirates to say anything to refuse.

"No problem, no problem, but you are too polite. Actually, we didn't do anything. We were just passing by. On the contrary, Mr. Tiger helped us a lot along the way."

Shanks scratched the back of his head, a goofy grin on his face.

"This idiot is right. It is true that Mr. Tiger has helped us a lot. So don't be too polite, Princess Otohime. We should feel honored to visit the Dragon King's Palace."

While talking, Buggy did not forget to belittle Shanks, but at this moment Shanks also knew that it was not appropriate to quarrel with Buggy, otherwise, both of them would probably have rolled to the ground.

"Hahahaha, thank you all anyway. Please get in the car. We will go to the Dragon King Palace together. Come to think of it, I think I have seen the straw hat on your head before."

Princess Otohime couldn't help but smile as she listened to what the two of them said.

"Oh? Where have you seen it?" X2
Shanks and Buggy said in unison that during the last voyage, Roger had given the straw hat to Shanks, and during the last voyage, Shanks and Buggy did not meet Princess Otohime on Fishman Island.

"I forgot the exact time, but it was quite early. At that time, I remember a black-haired pirate wearing a straw hat very similar to this one. If I remember correctly, it should be the Pirate King Roger."

Princess Otohime said as she walked, holding her chin.

"Hahahaha! That's right, it's Captain Roger. This straw hat was given to me by Captain Roger, hehehe."

Shanks was smiling happily. He didn't expect that Princess Otohime could recognize this straw hat. As expected, Captain Roger was an impressive person.

"Is it really Mr. Roger? That's even better. My Big Stupid Fish has mentioned Mr. Roger many times. You are Mr. Roger's juniors. I'm sure my Big Stupid Fish will be very happy if you go."
