The Legendary Family of One Piece

Chapter 125 Fisher Tiger, the Fishman

1492 in the Haiyuan calendar.

The sea was turbulent that year.

Faced with protests from member states threatened by pirates and orders from the World Government, the Fleet Admiral finally took action.

The world destroyer Bundy Wald was defeated by Admiral Sengoku the Buddha and Marine hero Monkey D. Garp and sent to Impel Down.

Charlotte was well aware that Wald's simple defeat was not solely due to the Navy's efforts, but also the work of World Government spies.

Turning subordinates against their own side and then betraying them—such tactics are hard to guard against!

People's hearts are unpredictable.

In his view, the World Government's order was probably only given out of consideration for "Heavenly Gold".

The second piece of news that shocked the seas was, of course, the naval hero Garp's defeat of the leader of the Happo Navy, the Green Pepper of the Cone.

The two messages, delivered one after the other, and the Navy's rapid and continuous actions severely deterred the pirates' madness.

There are also other naval reports, which shows that the navy is continuing to exert its efforts.

The pressure on the pirates of the New World suddenly arises.

Moreover, the Navy has officially begun a long-term, worldwide recruitment drive to expand its manpower.

Charlotte sat on the luxurious sofa and rubbed his throbbing head. The Navy is finally starting to exert its strength!

A serious and difficult situation has begun to unfold.

The navy itself has a strong foundation.

The current large-scale conscription across the entire world will undoubtedly produce an unimaginable number of exceptionally talented individuals.

He remembered that Sakazuki and Bolsalino, who would become the three future admirals of the Navy, had joined the Navy two years ago and had been trained by the former admiral Black Arm Zephyr.

This year marks the third future admiral, Kuzan, joining the Navy, and many other renowned generals will gradually emerge and distinguish themselves.

The age of the navy is slowly dawning!

This is a really troublesome matter.

His identity as a pirate meant that he was bound to clash fiercely with the Navy sooner or later; there was no way to avoid it.

This inevitably led to their antagonism, making it difficult for them to get along amicably.

Fortunately, Shiki the Golden Lion can hold the line for a few more years and draw fire, giving him some time to develop.

All we can do is try our best to improve our own capabilities.

The challenges ahead will only become more intense.

It's a long story.

Charlotte felt a pang of sadness.

Ultimately, we'll have to take that step eventually!

……

Port of Lati Island.

A somewhat dilapidated merchant ship arrived, clearly having gone through a fierce battle to reach this place.

"We've finally arrived safely."

The ship captain roared excitedly, overjoyed at surviving the ordeal.

After calming down, he immediately walked towards the tall, red-clad merman.

He wore a headscarf, had thick curly hair, and a wide mouth.

"Thank you for your help, Mr. Fisher Tiger."

Although the tone was one of gratitude, he could sense a deep-seated fear hidden within it. Fisher Tiger, a merman, felt a pang of sadness and said calmly, "You're welcome. I'll go take a look around."

Without hesitation, he stepped off the ship.

The merchant felt relieved. The fishmen looked fierce and were said to be a ruthless race. Even though they had been saved, he dared not be careless.

Offending the other party will have dire consequences.

Tiger is a fish-man who is an adventurer and explorer who travels the world.

I had heard of Lati Island before and was naturally curious about it.

"Wow, it's really bustling!"

Tiger, a merman, was somewhat moved, and the people here didn't seem to care about his merman identity, giving him no strange looks.

He felt a long-lost kindness and warmth from humanity here.

This is extremely rare.

For a moment, I was curious about what kind of person the owner of this place would be.

He even saw long-armed and long-legged tribes on the streets, which was quite rare.

With the economic development and improved safety of Lati Island, all kinds of shops have sprung up everywhere.

Even the bars had sprung up to the size of a whole street, a vast expanse of brightly lit bars. Tiger casually walked into a small bar.

"Boss, two kegs of beer, please."

"Okay, please wait a moment, sir."

Tiger casually found an empty seat and sat down.

The waiter quickly brought the beer over. "Here's your beer, sir."

Tiger didn't even sense any discrimination or malice from the other person.

For a long time, he traveled all over the world and saw far too much of the disgust and fear that humans had for the fish-men.

Even though some humans are kind to fish-men, the vast majority of prejudices have persisted for a long time.

The most despicable were the slave traders who hunted fishermen and mermaids, causing many fishermen and mermaids to lose their families and lives.

This has led to a situation where many fish-men harbor hatred towards humans, stemming from long-standing animosity and misunderstanding between the two groups.

His curiosity grew, so he smiled and asked, "My friend, are there any other fishmen here?"

The waiter paused, then shook his head, and continued, "There are long-legged people, long-armed people, and even giants here, but no fish-men!"

Tiger was clearly somewhat surprised.

Looking at the other person's expression, the waiter continued, "I know what you're worried about, but you don't need to worry at all."

"There was once a profit-driven merchant who saw the Longlegs and wanted to capture them to sell as slaves. In the end, he was killed by the Heberfeller family, and the buying and selling of any race's people is strictly prohibited on Lati Island."

Tiger was somewhat shocked; this was the first time he had ever experienced something like this.

"As long as you abide by the Heberfeller family's ironclad rules here, no one will interfere with your eating, drinking, or having fun."

The Heberfeller family?

Tiger was deeply moved.

The waiter continued, seemingly with some emotion.

"I came here from a war-torn country, as do many others, so we know better than anyone how difficult it is to have a stable life, and we cherish this hard-won life even more."

"So don't worry, the people here will be curious about you as a fish-man, not disgusted, because everyone who lives here knows that as long as the Heberfeller family is still here, as long as Mr. Charlotte is still here, no one can disrupt the peaceful life here."

After speaking, a strong sense of pride welled up on his face, and his eyes were full of admiration.

This is unconditional trust. Lati Island prospered because of Heberfeller Charlotte, and it will endure because of Heberfeller Charlotte.

Those days of uncertainty and devastation are an eternal pain, which makes this place all the more precious.

Tiger was deeply moved by what he saw.

"Alright, enjoy your meal."

The waiter walked away to continue his work.

Listening to the people around me discussing various interesting things, bursts of laughter filled the air, and the atmosphere was extremely peaceful and harmonious.

A strange light flickered in Tiger's eyes; he wanted to meet the owner of this place.

Hibernette Charlotte?

What kind of person would be capable of creating such an island of equality?

He had never felt such curiosity and affection for any human being before; Charlotte was the first.

I wonder what his attitude will be towards the fish-men and mermaids?

Perhaps humans and fish-men really can live together peacefully!
