One Piece: True Several Thousand Hands, rampaging across Marineford!

Faced with the awe-inspiring Fishman Island, none of the children could contain their excitement.

"Tom."

Kahn asked, "I've heard that if those ships that have been coated on the Sabaody Archipelago enter Fishman Island via the wrong path, the coating will automatically peel off and merge with the island's shield. Some ships will even fall to the ground in the air layer in between. Even if they manage to break through the shield, the invading ships and people will be washed away by the seawater inside the shield."

"Can our submarine break in if it doesn't follow the correct route?"

Every year, countless pirate ships try to use Fishman Island to return to the New World and the Grand Line, but only a very few succeed; most lose their lives in the process.

"of course."

Tom affirmed, "Our upgraded submarines can navigate anywhere on the ocean, undeterred by any underwater currents, and can easily infiltrate Fishman Island."

"As expected of Uncle Tom."

Yamato exclaimed excitedly, "That's amazing! Let's hurry over there. I can't wait to get to Fishman Island and see those beautiful mermaids!"

"Yamato, we're right here."

Over the years, many mermaids have been rescued. Some returned to Fishman Island, while others chose to stay on Sky Island. They all took this opportunity to come back together.

"hey-hey."

Yamato scratched his head sheepishly and said shyly, "I've never seen a mermaid on Fishman Island..."

"Tom."

Kahn looked directly at Fishman Island in the distance: "Try not to damage the ecological environment of Fishman Island."

"There is an 'air reservoir' at the main entrance of Fishman Island, which can create a huge air bubble that can cover the entire island. However, the air reservoir is not used to create bubbles unless there is an emergency. I don't want our arrival to disrupt the cycle of Fishman Island."

"..."

Fishman Island is the habitat of fishmen.

Before the World Government is overthrown, it is impossible to get fish-men to live on land.

The root cause must be addressed.

Why did these slave traders go to capture fish-men?

It's certainly profitable!

Who made it profitable?

Celestial Dragons!

In recent years, most of the captured mermaids have been rescued by Kahn.

The execution of the Celestial Dragons reduced the number of fishermen they caught.

This is not something that can be achieved through peace.

It requires force and bloodshed.

…………

Fishman Island.

"Father, Lord Kahn is coming soon. Mother is eager to meet him and discuss the possibility of us living on land."

"Ah~"

Neptune sighed.

Otohime had high expectations for the World Government.

In recent years, what Kahn did served as a warning to the Celestial Dragons, causing merfolk to lose a significant amount of value and reducing the number of slave traders capturing their race.

Because every time Kahn learns of the capture of a mermaid, a Celestial Dragon is killed.

This struck Otohime as bloody and cruel.

But they have no choice but to rely on such a strong person.

She hopes to persuade the other party to give up such cruel methods through her own efforts, so that mermaids and Celestial Dragons can have a better future.

That naive idea left Neptune feeling helpless.

The Celestial Dragons were executed.

He felt extremely pleased and admired people like Kahn, because it was because of people like Kahn that their race could possibly live on land.

"Let's go greet them..."

Neptune announced the news to everyone.

The reactions of the residents of Fishman Island varied, with many being resistant to the arrival of humans and discriminating against them.

Fishman Street.

"Why should we greet those inferior humans?"

"That Kahn is just relying on his strength. What's so great about him? We fishmen are born with arm strength ten times greater than humans."

"Damn inferior humans, it's said that Queen Otohime even wants to communicate with the World Government."

"Compared to the World Government, the Pirate Alliance, and the remnants of Rocks' forces like Cain, we are slightly better off. However, Queen Otohime insists that while the World Government can help us fish-men, humans would never help us fish-men!"

"We fish-men can conquer the world with our own strength! In the ocean, no human can defeat us fish-men!"

The rebellious sentiment within Fishman Street was particularly strong.

Despite Fisher Tiger's mediation, he still couldn't stop the fishmen's inner thoughts.

"Jinpei."

Fisher Tiger said sadly, "I really want to help my fellow countrymen, but during these few days as a slave, I've learned that fishmen are discriminated against not only by external factors, but also by internal ones."

“We even discriminate against each other.”

"I thought the rescued compatriots would be warmly welcomed, but instead they were bullied and mocked by their own people."

"The compatriots who came back with me were protected from being bullied thanks to my care."

"..."

Jinbe comforted him, "Brother, it's not your fault. I didn't notice. I didn't know that some fishmen would bully their own kind in secret. If Arlong hadn't reported this, I wouldn't have believed it."

Arlong the fishman was not a good person, but he cherished his fellow countrymen, treating them all the same, even those who had escaped from Mary Geoise and been released by others, and those who had once been slaves.

This is a fishman whose character is considered exceptional among fishmen.

…………

"Mermaid sisters".

Yamato asked, "What delicious food do you have on Fishman Island?"

Lach's eyes lit up.

The two women exchanged a glance and reached a consensus: the only thing they couldn't let down was delicious food.

"You little rascal."

Kahn chuckled helplessly, "Did you come here to see the mermaids, or to satisfy your appetite and have a good meal?"

"Hey hey hey."

Yamato answered shyly, "Yes, I have both."

“Rach…”

Kahn then looked at Lach and noticed many children around him drooling with envy. "How exactly do you raise these kids?"

Why have they all become foodies?

"They are healthy."

Lach blinked innocently and said, "I'm not good at studying, so I can't teach them knowledge. I can only help them have a healthy body."

"Oh~ giggle!"

Kaido patted Kahn on the shoulder and laughed loudly, "I think it's great. At least Yamato and the others are all healthy and can eat and drink well."

"..."

Faced with this situation, Kahn didn't know what to say.

Lach has done his best to take care of a group of children. The children are quiet, eat and drink well, and have no major problems.

"Mermaid sisters".

Yamato asked, "What exactly is 'Sea King' Poseidon?"

"We're not entirely sure either."

"According to the royal legend of Fishman Island, every few hundred years, a mermaid princess appears on the island who can summon sea kings and brings great changes to the world."

"This can't be said out casually."

"Lord Kahn and the others are all very good people, why can't we tell anyone?"

"Yes."

A group of merfolk had a disagreement.

But they have already told the truth.

This race has little contact with the outside world, and always gives people the impression of being so naive and simple.

Let's start from Fishman Island.

The storage records can be filled in just half a day.

They arrived at Fishman Island.

A large number of merfolk stood on both sides, waiting for Kahn and his group to arrive.

"Everyone, perk up! Get ready to welcome our compatriots home! Let them know they're back!"

A large group of fishmen arrived before them.

The atmosphere was tense, with drums and gongs being struck.

The mermaids who arrived at Fishman Island in their submarine were thrilled. Although life on the sky island was like a dream, they were so excited to be home to such a warm welcome.

Their mood improved.
