One Piece: General Xuanming, Defeat the New World

"Although most of this hatred is caused by humans, the fishmen cannot hate humans. They should even always maintain sufficient respect for humans."

In front of Carsent, the strong shark-man sighed deeply, and his majestic body seemed to shorten a lot.

"About twenty years ago, when I was young and energetic, I went to the sea once. It was at that time that I saw the horror of the human race."

"More than a hundred miles away, I saw a man who looked like a god or a devil, fighting another man holding a giant hammer."

"Every time that man's hammer hits the void, I can feel the strong breath of death hundreds of miles away. It's as if if that man wants, I will explode into pieces hundreds of miles away in the next moment."

"But such a strong man died in the hands of another man after a day and night of fighting. His right arm pierced his chest and he died with his eyes open."

"Around us, countless figures with powerful auras seemed to be fighting each other. For a long time afterwards, I thought that I was witnessing a battle between gods during that one-day and one-night battle."

"It was not until a long time ago that I realized that those guys with god-like powers were the strong ones of the human race."

"You know, even the gods in the Fishman Island texts don't have this kind of power in their records."

"From then on, I secretly made up my mind to stop the fishmen from becoming enemies with the human race, no matter what the cost."

After the boss of Fishman Street finished speaking, he sighed again. Even though decades had passed, his eyes still shone with fear and even dread when he mentioned it again.

Hearing this, Carsent's face looked unhappy. After thinking about it, he still spoke up to give some instructions.

"I know which battle you are talking about. You'd better keep it to yourself and never tell anyone about it from now on." (Chapter 79)

After all, during the conversation, the shark man left a very good impression on Carsen, so Carsen didn't want him to inadvertently say something sinister.

However, if you knowingly commit a crime, you will be courting death.

The Battle of Monalel in the New World, the death of Admiral Warhammer, was one of the most tragic defeats of the Navy in the Rocks era. The battle had been kept secret several times after it occurred, but unexpectedly it was seen by a fishman who accidentally surfaced by chance.

"I understand."

The boss of Fishman Street can pretend to be tough and domineering in front of Tiger and others, because only with this style of behavior can he always maintain his position in the nearly wild Fishman Street.

But in front of Carsent, he lost his bravado and became a little weaker.

After all, the creatures on earth never mind showing weakness and vulnerability in front of those who are far stronger than themselves.

After a brief exchange, neither of them spoke anymore and walked silently through the entire Fishman Street.

……

On the other hand, since Carsent and the Neptunes had been discussing cooperation matters every now and then, they rarely returned to their residence to rest.

After resting in the guest house for a few days, the rest of them could not stand the loneliness and came to wander around the Dragon Palace City.

Anna was soon addicted to the goods that had never been seen on land, the strange shells and the colorful pearls. She would take Gion and Amatsuki out for a stroll early in the morning every day, and when they came back in the afternoon, her body would be covered with all kinds of shells.

"Sister Gion, Sister Amatsuki, look at these shells. The patterns on them are so strange."

At a street stall in the market, Anna stared at the colorful shells laid out on the pink silk cloth with sparkling eyes.

In addition to the common streamlined patterns, there are also spiral shapes, and crisscross distributions like leaf veins, and even the outer surface of the shells, forming natural protrusions of various colors, as if the symbols of small animals were carved on the shells by nature.

"Then just take a look at what you like and wrap it up."

Seeing Anna's growing interest, Gion spoke up generously and said that she could just take whatever she wanted. These shells were very cheap anyway, with the most expensive ones costing only a hundred or two hundred berries, and most of them costing dozens of berries. They could buy a sack of shells with their basic navy salary for a month.

Although Gion loves shells and pearl jewelry, he does not love them as much as Anna does. He just treats them as a hobby.

But since Anna likes it, Gion will not spoil Anna's interest and will still accompany Anna to stroll and play all day long.

"Big sister, these shells were just picked up. They are very good and can be preserved for a long time."

"The shells here are only fifty Baileys."

"The colorful shells here cost 100 Baileys each. If you like them, I can give them a discount."

Seeing Anna and the others stop, the stall owner, a little mermaid girl about eleven or twelve years old, walked over, wagging her tail.

Before the age of thirty, the legs of a mermaid girl will always remain in the shape of a fish tail, but after the age of thirty they can freely change into human legs or remain in the shape of a fish tail.

"Little sister is so cute, can you introduce these shells to your sister?"

Watching the little mermaid swaying like a little penguin, Anna gently reached out and pinched the mermaid's face. The chewy feeling made Anna unable to let go.

"Well……"

The little mermaid muttered something, then pointed to the shell and began to introduce it.

"Sister, these shells are picked up outside Fishman Island early in the morning every day."

"It's outside the membrane of Fish-Man Island. Those terrible sea kings won't get close to Fish-Man Island, so the sea area not far away is a safe area."

"These are ordinary shells, these are the ones with single-color stripes, they are everywhere, but no one likes them, so I only pick up a few each time."

"And this kind of colorful shells, these kinds of shells, usually have to go to farther sea areas to find them, and they may not be found because the colorful shells nearby have already been picked up."

"It's more dangerous in the distance..."

……

Children are at an age when they cannot sit still. When they saw Anna was interested, they felt like they had found a soulmate and told her all the stories about picking up shells.

Anna had nothing to do, so she just sat aside, pinching the little fish girl's round face while listening to stories, which was quite interesting.

By the time the story was finished, there were already a lot of shells in Anna's bag.

"Thanks for your story, little sister. I'll take these shells and see how much they cost."

After paying the money, Anna rubbed the little fishman's face for the last time and left with satisfaction.
