As Robin listened to Kerla's story, a glimmer of hope flashed in his eyes, and he secretly pondered over what Al had said about the concepts of equality and freedom.

If his ideas could be realized, scholars might be able to truly pursue knowledge without having to worry about tragedies like O'Hara happening again.

Before going to bed, Perona, who was about the same size as Kerla, took the initiative to take out a few sets of newly bought clothes and gave them to Kerla to change into pajamas.

Some time ago, when she was practicing physical skills on a deserted island, she made great progress, but she was a little overwhelmed by the praise from others.

Although he didn't have a deep understanding of physical skills, his strength was growing rapidly.

But she didn't know that this was the experience pack that El earned for the members during the Battle of Marineford, so she could also enjoy it because of her joining.

In fact, she didn't know much about the basic knowledge of physical skills, but in order to maintain her reputation as a physical skills genius, she kept it to herself and didn't dare to ask others.

Knowing that Kerla was the acting coach of the Revolutionary Army's Fish-Man Karate, she wanted to ask Kerla for advice in private.

The next morning, sunlight poured into the bar through the window, and a new day began.

After they confirmed through Den Den Mushi that the Orange Windmill had been successfully coated, they led a large convoy towards the dock in Area 56.

In the convoy, there were bubble cars loaded with the spoils from their shopping in the previous two days, and the scene was quite spectacular.

People who don’t know would think they are members of a caravan.

After arriving at the dock in Area 56, Lachi had been waiting for a long time. When he saw Al and his team members coming, he greeted them enthusiastically: "Al, you are finally here! The Orange Windmill has been successfully coated, and now we can go to Fishman Island smoothly."

Then, Lachi pointed to the pile of goods on the nail plate: "I asked Xia Qi, and she said it's no problem to load so many things, but it still seems like too much now."

Al looked at the pile of items, which were all practical daily necessities, cheap clothes and children's toys. He smiled and waved his hand, saying, "Uncle Lucky, it's okay. You see there is still so much space on the ship, these things you have are not too much."

"Thank you so much!" The fishman Lachi scratched his head embarrassedly, took out a piece of paper with his home address and handed it to Al.

Al took the note, read it carefully, wrote down the address and put it in his bag.

When the girls were moving their luggage back to the room, Laci pulled El and started talking to him about deep-sea currents, sea levels, and the dangers they might encounter when traveling to Fishman Island.

After the girls put away their luggage, Weiwei helped Kerla settle into the spare room.

Under Lach's command, Al opened the air bag at the bottom of the ship and began to inject air.

After a while, a layer of transparent bubble film formed on the Orange Windmill, wrapping the entire ship.

After saying goodbye to the fishmen Lachi and Shachi on the dock, El removed the float bag and Nami maneuvered the boat towards the water.

El silently summoned the system and began to edit his new task.

[Mission name: Dive 10,000 meters deep into the sea]

[Mission type: exploration]

[Mission Objective: Successfully reach Fishman Island 10,000 meters below the sea]

[Quest Reward: Nami's Navigation Skills]

It was the first time for everyone to experience the feeling of sitting on a boat deep in the sea. It felt very novel. Through the transparent bubble film, everyone lay on the lounge chairs on the deck and quietly watched the beautiful scenery outside.

The sunlight shines through the water, forming colorful rays of light and shadows, illuminating the coral reefs and colorful tropical fish on the seabed.

The seaweed swayed gently in the water, as if welcoming these uninvited guests.

Occasionally a few big fish swam past the boat.

Not far from them, there are many huge tree roots, whose roots extend straight downwards to the bottom of the deep sea.

"Oh, by the way, I remember reading in the book that the Chabaotier Archipelago seems to be made up of a huge group of mangroves." Robin suddenly remembered the travel notes she had read.

"It's so beautiful!" Nami exclaimed, her eyes sparkling with excitement.

"Yes, it's the first time I see such a scenery. It feels like I'm in another world." Ke Ya said softly, her fingers gently touching the bubble wrap, feeling the thin barrier.

Weiwei couldn't help but admire: "I never thought that the underwater world would be so beautiful."

Perona watched the ship gradually sinking and entering the seabed, and she couldn't help feeling a little nervous.

She asked worriedly, "Will the sea water really not leak in? I am a fruit ability user, and I will die if something happens in the sea."

Nami adjusted the direction of the dive and comforted her, "Don't worry, these ship membranes are very elastic. As long as you don't open too big a hole in the bubble membrane, it will shrink the hole automatically."

El picked up the drink that Nojigo brought out from the kitchen, handed it to Perona, and said, "Don't be nervous, this is a shallow sea area, it's relatively safe. Once we get to the deep sea, it will be pitch black there, and there may be sea kings attacking us. You won't have time to be scared then."

Perona glared at El and ran to Robin angrily, complaining that El was bullying her.

Al smiled and continued, "If you are afraid, summon the Negative Ghost. As long as you find fish attacking, use the Negative Ghost on them. Our safety depends on you. After all, there is a bubble membrane blocking us, and it is not convenient for us to destroy the bubble membrane and directly attack the fish outside."

Hearing what El said, Perona immediately became happy. It was finally her turn to show her skills.

Each of these people in front of her is more capable than her, which has made her feel a little inferior these days.

Seeing Perona happy, El decided not to continue to spoil her mood.

Originally, he planned to use his domineering aura to scare and drive away fish if they attacked ships.

After Nojigo finished his work, Al called her aside and told her in detail what Uncle Lachi, the fishman, had told him.

"The most dangerous thing about going to Fishman Island is the reefs and trenches you will encounter when you go down through the huge ocean current waterfall. If you hit them, the ship may be destroyed and everyone may die."

Nojigo nodded and said seriously, "Leave this task to me. With me here, no matter how many reefs there are, they won't harm the Orange Windmill in the slightest."

After arranging the tasks, Al asked everyone to lie on the lounge chairs and quietly watch the beautiful scenery of the deep sea.

He smiled and said, "Once you enter the real deep sea, it will be pitch black there, and you won't have the chance to enjoy the beautiful scenery."

After hearing El's explanation, Perona quickly moved her seat closer to Tashigi and asked her to use her Observation Haki to help her observe whether there would be any deep-sea fish making a sneak attack.

Dashigi smiled and nodded in agreement.

Chapter 84 Arrival at Fishman Island (Please recommend and collect)

In this way, they continued to sail in the darkness for a long time, and the light gradually became dimmer.

Nami began to inject electrical energy into the ship and activated the giant searchlights on the bow, trying to find the huge waterfall described by the fishman Lachi in the vast deep sea that would allow them to quickly penetrate the seabed.

"How many meters have we descended now?" Perona's voice broke the silence. Her fear of the ocean became more intense because of the darkness around her, and her whole body began to tremble.

Nami thought for a moment, checked the inclination of the navigation needle, and replied after using her intuition to estimate: "I think we may have dived to a depth of about three thousand meters."

Thanks to Namena's talent as a top navigator, they soon discovered the legendary underwater waterfall current under the guidance of the ocean current.

In this deep ocean, this waterfall seems to have endless gravity, attracting all the surrounding water flows and accelerating them to deeper parts of the seabed through its powerful ocean current force.

After signaling to Nojiko, Nami immediately steered the Orange Windmill and bravely sailed towards the spectacular waterfall.

Nojigao understood what he meant and quickly came to the center of the deck, leaning on the mast, and forming seals with his hands. A solid barrier instantly enveloped the hull, providing solid protection for their deep-sea journey.

As the Orange Windmill sailed into the huge waterfall, under the impact of the water flow, they seemed to lose gravity and sank rapidly in free fall.

The surrounding scenery was like a fast-playing slide show, constantly passing by my eyes, and the surrounding environment became deeper and darker.

After a not-so-short period of time, the ship's falling speed finally slowed down.

During this journey, they encountered several sea beasts that were unfortunately caught in the waterfall, but under the protection of Nojigo's barrier, these collisions did not cause any damage to the ship.

In the depths of this pitch-black sea, the light of the searchlight illuminates the surroundings, revealing many never-before-seen peculiar marine creatures. They are either strange or weird, making people marvel at the wonders of nature.

These strange creatures reminded Perona of El's reminder. She acted quickly, summoning several negative ghosts in succession and looking around vigilantly.

El also began to concentrate, activating his Observation Haki and sensing any unusual movements around him.

Not long after, Nami discovered a trench leading to a deeper depth. After confirming it with the pointer, she drove the boat along this path without hesitation and continued to dive down.

"The huge underwater waterfall just now can only take us to a depth of seven thousand meters in the sea. We are now only three thousand meters away from Fishman Island." Nami controlled the boat while reporting the latest situation to her companions.

As the trench continued to extend, the water temperature around them began to rise significantly, which made Nami immediately realize that they were approaching a dangerous area.

"We may be above an undersea volcano. We must leave here immediately, otherwise our bubble membrane may melt due to overheating."

She quickly adjusted her course to avoid the scorching sea and head towards a safer direction.

Thanks to her superb navigation skills, everyone safely passed through this dangerous area and finally arrived at the bottom of the deep sea.

At this time, the Fishman Island in the distance was faintly visible, and the light emitted from it penetrated the darkness of the deep sea, appearing particularly dazzling.

Perona's curiosity was completely aroused, and she asked: "Why is Fishman Island glowing? This is the deep sea."

Kerla raised his hand and answered, "I've heard from my fishman master that all this is thanks to the magical sun tree Eve. This tree can continuously transmit light and air to the bottom of the sea through the breathing of its roots. It is because of its existence that the fishmen chose to settle here and build a prosperous fishman island."

When they finally arrived near Fishman Island, they were surprised to find that the entire island was wrapped in a huge double-layer semicircular bubble membrane shield.

This layer of bubble film seems to be a masterpiece of nature. It not only protects Fishman Island from external intrusion, but also makes it a shining pearl in the deep sea.

To protect the ship from damage, they had to find the correct entrance.

So, they slowly drove along the edge of the bubble, looking for the main entrance to Fishman Island.

"Humans on board, please stop the ship immediately! You need to undergo immigration inspection to enter Fishman Island."

As they approached the gate of Fishman Island, a group of soldiers from King Neptune's army stationed there blocked their way.

They surrounded the Orange Windmill with a fierce look in their eyes, and the atmosphere instantly became tense and solemn.

Seeing this, El calmly said, "I am the leader of the Seven Warlords of the Sea, the El Pirates, and I am a friend of your Jinbe."

"Boss Jinbei?" The soldiers looked at each other in surprise when they heard Al's introduction.

Faced with such an important guest, they did not dare to make a decision easily and immediately sent a fishman back to report to their superiors.

Not long after, led by a fishman, the three Neptune brothers came to the gate guard station in person.

The boss Shark first carefully examined the slightly ordinary pirate flag of the El Pirates, then stopped his gaze on El's face, and after confirming that it was consistent with the portrait in the newspaper, he confidently led his brothers Royal and Rollover to welcome El's ship to Fishman Island.

"Captain El, what brings you to Fishman Island this time?" Shark Star asked politely with a hint of curiosity in his words.

The three brothers were somewhat confused and didn't understand why a big pirate like him who cooperated with the World Government did not choose to cross the Red Earth Continent directly through the World Government, but instead took the risk to come to this dangerous seabed.

However, out of politeness, they did not express their confusion on the spot.

"We just want to see this magical underwater world with our own eyes, then take a short break here before setting off to the new world."

Shark Star personally arranged an exclusive location for Al and his crew to dock their ship, and sent someone to deliver several giant turtles coated with air membranes as their means of transportation in the underwater world.

During their casual conversation, El learned that Jinbe had already left Fishman Island.

Because he found that he could not protect Fishman Island with his own strength, he set sail towards the New World.

Eru guessed that Jinbe might go to the Four Emperors Big Mom for help, just like in the original work, using sweets as offerings and seeking Big Mom's protection for Fishman Island.

Afterwards, Shark Star warmly extended a solemn invitation to El and his party, hoping that they could visit Ryugu City.

His father, King Neptune, would come out personally to receive these guests who had come from afar.

Hearing this, Al smiled apologetically. He waved his hand and explained, "I'm so sorry, Prince Shark Star. I still have some trivial matters to deal with, so I'm afraid I can't go right away. However, I plan to go to the Dragon King's Palace tonight, bringing some carefully prepared gifts, and meet King Neptune in person."

Chapter 85: New Fishman Pirates

Although Shark Star was a little curious about the purpose of Al's trip, he did not ask further questions. Instead, he gladly accepted Al's proposal with that warm smile on his face.

"Then we'll see you in the evening, Captain El. I hope you have a great time in Fishman Island."

After confirming that Al and others would go to Ryugu Palace to attend the banquet tonight, the three princes said goodbye to Al and sent the youngest one back to the palace to report the news to his father.

Holding the map of Fishman Island given by the King's Army, Nami and her friends excitedly headed to the most prosperous Coral Hill in the Ryugu Kingdom. In addition to searching for rare goods unique to Fishman Island, they also planned to visit the mermaid cafe recommended by El.

At the same time, Al placed the items entrusted to him by Lachi steadily on the back of the giant turtle, and then the huge creature slowly carried him towards Fishman Street.

Fishman Street was originally a shelter for orphans and the place where many fishmen were born. However, due to poor management, it gradually turned into a gray area, filled with violence and chaos.

Al asked several fishmen on the roadside and finally found Lachi's home.

I knocked on the door gently. A childish fishman boy opened the door in confusion and looked at the uninvited guest warily: "Why are you knocking on my door, human?"

Al smiled and replied, "Hello, little friend. I am your father's friend. He asked me to send some things back to you and your mother."

Hearing Al's words, the boy's face instantly broke into a surprised smile, and he quickly shouted into the house: "Mom, Dad asked the humans to bring something back!"

Hearing her son's cry, a middle-aged female octopus came out. She was Lachi's wife Alena.

She greeted Al warmly, but because the house was full of sea water, she couldn't invite Al into the house to rest.

With the joint efforts of the boy and his brother, the things Al brought were quickly moved into the house.

The children excitedly unpacked their new toys and tried on the clothes that Lachi had carefully selected for them, with happy smiles on their faces.

During the chat, Al learned that Uncle Lucky had been working on Shabaodi Island for many years and rarely had the opportunity to go home. He could only occasionally ask someone to send some things back.

But Al felt something was wrong when he looked at the rather shabby family in front of him. Judging from the number of items he brought this time and what Alena said, the things that Uncle Lucky brought back many times should be enough to allow this family to live a good life.
