The Great Voyage Begins with the Celestial Dragons

Fishman Street is undoubtedly the best option.

"Your Highness, we're almost there!"

The sound of a cat viper could be heard inside the ship's cabin.

Luther and the others instinctively looked up, and suddenly a large patch of light appeared in front of the Don Quixote.

Within that bright light lies the magnificent Fishman Island.

Nearly a thousand meters directly below Fishman Island, in that somewhat dimly lit area, lies the wooden terrain they are on their journey.

Fishman Street!

Chapter 234 Awakening and Parallelism

Boom!

The Don Quixote eventually swooped into the bubble containing Fishman Island, where the seawater was kept at bay.

Not long after they docked at the Fishman Island port, Lucci appeared at the port.

"Your Highness!"

Lucky knelt on one knee, looking at Luther with a fanatical expression.

"I heard Musegard is doing quite well lately?" Luther asked with a smile.

"Sir Musegard now enjoys extremely high prestige on Fishman Island. Wherever he goes, he has a large following of mermaids, and he has helped me resolve at least 20 conflicts between Fishman Street and mermaids," Lucci replied matter-of-factly.

Compared to the Muse Gard, Luther was the one he truly served.

“He’s certainly doing well here. Since he likes it, let’s arrange a place for him to stay on New Merman Island in the future,” Luther said with a smile.

This was actually said to Princess Otohime.

Princess Otohime understood immediately and smiled gently:

"A palace for the Donquixote Family will be built on the new Fishman Island, symbolizing the eternal friendship between Fishman Island and the Donquixote Family. Lord Musgard can stay there as long as he wants."

Musegard's recent actions have led Otohime to fully accept the Don Quixote family.

Now, Musegard not only showers money on the mermaids every day, but also patrols the Fishman Island like a policeman.

Whenever he sees a mermaid being bullied, he immediately steps in to discipline her.

For at least these past few days, the pirates who have passed through Fishman Island have all been incredibly well-behaved, afraid of provoking Musegard.

Musegard is not scary, but with Lucci's strength, he could almost sweep through the entire Fishman Island.

Of course, there was one thing that Otohime felt was not perfect.

Musegard's favoritism towards Fishman Island is very biased; she only likes mermaids and not fishmen.

This, in turn, led to the people of Fishman Street particularly disliking Musegard and often deliberately causing trouble in front of him.

If Otohime hadn't already made up her mind to clean up Fishman Town, she would probably still be in a very helpless situation.

"Let's go check out Fishman Street."

Luther took the lead and headed towards Fishman Island, with Lucci and Nekomamushi following behind him, while Barrett idly observed his surroundings.

Luther had always paid special attention to the weaknesses of those with superpowers, especially in the deep sea.

On the sea, however, his ability to fly, granted by his fruit, combined with his flames that can evaporate seawater, means he has nothing to fear.

But this was in the deep sea, and he was afraid that if he exerted his full strength, the bubbles would burst, causing the seawater to surge and drown him.

Cat Viper and Lucci were his protectors.

With their combined strength, it wouldn't be too difficult for them to take him away from the deep sea.

Although Otohime's eyes still held sadness, she followed Luther's steps without the slightest hesitation.

The group moved from top to bottom without concealing their presence, directly reaching the Fishman Street area.

This place is much quieter than the bustling Fishman Island.

The surroundings were cold and dark, and the living environment was much worse.

As soon as they appeared, a large group of merfolk came running and immediately surrounded them.

Luther paid no attention to the fishmen who were swearing at him, and instead turned to look at Otohime:

"Are you ready?"

Otohime pursed her lips slightly, knowing that this was a question asking if she was mentally prepared.

She turned her gaze, sweeping over the surrounding mermen with their violent expressions and weapons, and sighed softly in her heart.

Once she started cooperating with Luther, there was no turning back.

Fishman Island is now on a fast track forward, while Fishman Town is more like a stubborn disease trying to drag Fishman Island to a halt.

There may be a gentler approach, but Fishman Island, traveling at high speed, should not stop for this.

For this, she was willing to bear all the sins.

Everything for Fishman Island!

Finally, Otohime's gaze slowly turned cold, and then she nodded heavily.

Seeing Otohime's change, Luther's lips curled up slightly.

Without the slightest hesitation, Luther slowly stepped forward and leisurely drew Ryujin Jakka from his waist.

hum! ! !

With a deep echo, the surrounding temperature instantly soared.

At this moment, his image also underwent a subtle change.

His pupils turned gold, and he was covered in golden feathers, which, combined with his slender figure, added to his noble air.

The moment he drew Ryujin Jakka, golden solar flames suddenly surged forth, and Conqueror's Haki burst forth without any concealment.

The sky, the ocean, the earth—all the fish-men living in Fishman Street lost consciousness in an instant, and the entire Fishman Street fell into a deathly silence.

Luther stood before everyone and slowly raised Ryujin Jakka.

Just as Luther was about to strike, he heard a sound approaching from behind.

He could tell who was coming just by listening to their footsteps.

"You should back off. With your physique, you would suffer considerable harm even if you got close."

"Will it have any effect if I hold the knife with you?"

Behind her, Otohime's somewhat strained voice came.

Even though Luther had already restrained himself, the rising temperature around him still had a significant impact on Otohime.

Luther was somewhat surprised by what Otohime said.

"It's just a dead target, I can be more restrained, it won't affect anything, but there's not much need to."

"No, it's necessary!"

Princess Otohime swam to Luther's side and placed her small, fair hand on the back of Luther's large hand:

"This is my sin, and I should bear it myself. I shouldn't let you bear it."

Upon hearing this, Luther paused for a moment.

He hadn't expected that Otohime would go this far.

However, since it was Otohime who took that step, he naturally had no reason to disagree.

"If you wish, grab my body and unleash your full Observation Haki. With my assistance, you should be able to perceive in unison with me."

The unified perception, without using any fruits, relying solely on Observation Haki, was a first for Luther.

Or perhaps, only Otohime in this world could do something like that.

Her special ability to evoke emotions grants Otohime a sense of empathy through her observational skills.

If he were to unleash his full perception, and with the aid of his Conqueror's Haki and Observation Haki, he should be able to unify Otohime's perception with his own.

"it is good!"

Without hesitation, Otohime tried to adapt to the high temperature next to Luther, moved to the other side, and firmly grasped Luther's hand that was not holding a knife.

She slowly closed her eyes and used all her strength to unleash her Observation Haki.

With Luther's complete openness, she gradually became able to sense Luther's senses.

It was a completely different sensation from her previous frail body; even from a perspective of empathy, Otohime could feel the power of Luther's body.

After observing that Otohime could almost sense his senses, Luther raised his right hand holding the sword again.

From Otohime's perspective, it's as if she slowly raises her right hand and faces the Fishman Street that once belonged to Fishman Island.

then...

There were no fancy moves or flashy actions; it was just a simple, unremarkable slash aimed at Fishman Street.

Chapter 235 Choosing a Path Forward

Swish! ! !

From Otohime's perspective, she seemed to feel endless heat surging from her body into the sword.

Immediately afterwards, a golden and incredibly hot slash burst forth from the tip of the Ryujin Jakka blade.

When the slash was unleashed, the once dark Fishman Street on the seabed lit up completely, as if a blazing sun were rising from the seabed.

The entire Fishman Island was thrown into panic, and there is still a small number of mermaids and fishmen who have not migrated away.

Furthermore, they noticed that Otohime had previously led a group of humans to Fishman Town.

Inside the royal palace of the Dragon Palace Kingdom.

Neptune's expression was complex as he sensed the scorching heat emanating from beneath Fishman Island.

He didn't actually agree with Otohime's idea, but under her insistence, he ultimately said nothing.
