Chapter 6 The World's Number One Shipwright's Younger Brother

As soon as Luo Tian finished speaking, Jinbe, who was still serving as a guard in the Dragon Palace, walked quickly to Neptune with a solemn expression and respectfully presented him with a bounty poster bearing Luo Tian's image and related information.

Neptune took the bounty poster, his eyes scanning the text and portrait on it, and an expression of extreme shock instantly appeared on his face.

He looked up in disbelief, re-examining the seemingly ordinary young man standing before him who dared to challenge the authority of the Celestial Dragons.

After a moment of silence, Neptune finally broke the silence, his voice trembling slightly as he asked:

"How dare you...beat a Celestial Dragon?"

Faced with Neptune's questioning, Luo Tian showed no fear and calmly replied:

"I hit people only to save innocent people! Besides, those Heavenly Dragons are no good to begin with. They are arrogant, domineering, and disregard human life. It's no big deal to hit such scum!"

After saying this, Luo Tian turned his head and looked firmly at Tiger beside him, as if seeking approval.

Tiger met Luo Tian's gaze, his eyes revealing deep approval and admiration.

As someone who had personally experienced the Celestial Dragons' brutal rule, he knew better than anyone else the Celestial Dragons' ugly faces and despicable acts.

Therefore, when Tiger heard Luo Tian so righteously condemn the Celestial Dragons, his respect for Luo Tian arose spontaneously.

He nodded slightly, indicating that he fully understood and supported Luo Tian's actions.

However, Neptune held a very negative view of Luo Tian, ​​believing that this uninvited guest would bring great trouble.

Therefore, he did not hesitate to order his men to immediately expel Luo Tian from the island.

Just then, the gentle and kind-hearted Otohime stepped forward and stopped the group from carrying out the order.

"and many more!"

Otohime spoke softly, her gaze fixed firmly on Neptune.

“My dear, I don’t think this person is as evil as you think. Don’t be in such a hurry to drive him away. After all, his ship is damaged. What’s wrong with letting him rest here for a while? Besides, didn’t we agree to coexist peacefully with humans?”

Neptune gazed at his beloved wife, knowing her kind and forgiving nature.

Despite still harboring doubts about Luo Tian, ​​he knew he couldn't persuade Yi Ji to change her mind in the face of her persistence.

Left with no other choice, Neptune nodded in agreement.

“Alright, then let’s do it your way for now. But just in case, let Jinbe stay with him until he leaves Fishman Island.”

Neptune gave the order.

And so, Luo Tian was able to stay on this mysterious and beautiful fishman island for the time being, waiting for the moment when the ship could be repaired and the journey could resume.

Luo Tian slowly walked out of the mysterious and magnificent Dragon Palace, followed closely by the burly Jinbe.

Just then, Luo Tian's keen eyes spotted a familiar figure—Tiger had also quietly followed him out.

Tiger strode forward, stood directly in front of Luo Tian, ​​and asked with a firm and expectant look in his eyes:

"Hey friend! I have a bold plan for you, I wonder if you'd be interested?"

Luo Tian naturally understood what Tiger's plan was: to rescue those poor people who were enslaved.

But he feigned confusion and replied:

"Oh? What's the plan? I'd like to hear the details."

Tiger answered without hesitation:

"It's about liberating slaves! Those innocent lives are suffering cruel oppression and torture at the hands of the Celestial Dragons, and I don't want to stand idly by! Aren't you also dissatisfied with those despicable Celestial Dragons? Why don't we join forces and fight together?"

However, Luo Tian did not immediately accept such a passionate invitation.

He paused for a moment in thought, then looked up at Tiger and said calmly:

“This is no small matter, after all, Mary Geoise is not a place that is easy to break into. How about this, give me a Den Den Mushi first, and let me think it over before making a decision.”

As he spoke, Luo Tian extended his hand to Tiger.

Seeing this, Tiger was slightly disappointed, but he still readily took out a small and exquisite Den Den Mushi and handed it to Luo Tian.

After receiving the Den Den Mushi, Luo Tian nodded slightly in acknowledgment, then turned and walked away.

Throughout the journey, Luo Tian kept thinking about Tiger's proposal and the various difficulties and dangers they might face.

As they walked, Luo Tian suddenly turned to Jinbe, who had been silent beside him, and asked, "Brother Jinbe, do you know where there are any skilled shipwrights around here?"

Upon hearing this, Jinbe stopped and lowered his head in deep thought.

After a while, he seemed to have thought of something, and looked up at Luo Tian, ​​saying, "If we're talking about shipwrights, there is a place that might meet your needs. Come with me."

After saying that, Jinbe took the lead and strode towards the end of Fishman Town.

Luo Tian followed closely behind, and the two walked through the bustling crowds and through narrow, winding streets, finally stopping in front of a small, inconspicuous house without even a sign.

Luo Tian gently pushed open the door, and the hinges made a soft "creak" sound.

He looked up and gazed into the room, where he saw a figure sitting quietly, intently flipping through a book.

This person was a mermaid, wearing a dark hat with the brim pulled down low, obscuring his full appearance.

He wore thick-rimmed glasses with temples that gleamed with a faint metallic sheen, making them particularly eye-catching in the light.

The sharp angles of his face, paired with his slightly downturned nose, give him a unique three-dimensional look.

A small tuft of beard on his chin adds to his mature and composed air.

At this moment, Jinbe walked over, greeted Luo Tian, ​​and introduced him:

"This is Dan."

Upon hearing the sound, Dan, who had been immersed in the world of the book, slowly raised his head and shifted his gaze from the pages to the visitor at the door.

Luo Tian stared at Dan, and a sudden flash of inspiration struck him, instantly reminding him of this person's identity—he was actually the younger brother of Tom, the man known as the world's number one shipwright in the original story!

This discovery greatly surprised and excited Luo Tian, ​​who never expected to meet such an important person here.

Overjoyed, Luo Tian hurriedly stepped forward, walked up to Dan, and asked eagerly:

"Can you join me?"

His voice was full of anticipation and longing.

However, Luo Tian's sudden action startled Dan. He instinctively shrank back and asked in confusion:

"who are you?"

Seeing this, Jinbe, who was standing to the side, quickly spoke up to explain:

"He... I suppose he's a traveler. His ship is damaged, so he's come here specifically to seek help and hope to get it repaired."

Dan Dao said, "Repairing the ship? Where is the ship? I'll go take a look."

When the topic of ships came up, Luo Tian scratched his head awkwardly and said, "The ships are probably just fragments now. I wonder if you have any ships here."

"The boat's already gone, don't bother me with repairs," Dan waved his hand, trying to shoo people away.

Luo Tian, ​​however, didn't seem to care at all and said, "Don't rush, you should have a boat, right? Can I buy one?"

Dan said with a disdainful look:

"Yes, I do have one, but there's absolutely no way I'll sell it. It's the result of countless hours of hard work!"

Luo Tian then responded:

"In that case, why don't you just join us and go out to sea with me?"

Dan frowned and asked in return:

Why should I join you?

Luo Tian raised his horn slightly, revealing a mysterious smile, and then slowly spoke:

"The reason is simple: only I can save your brother."

Upon hearing this, Dan jumped to his feet as if electrocuted, his eyes widening as he eagerly demanded:

"You actually know about my brother? How is he doing now?"

In an instant, Dan's emotions became extremely agitated.

Luo Tian answered calmly:

"You must have some idea about your brother's situation."

"He was sentenced to death for building ships for a man named Roger, but he was granted a 10-year reprieve for proposing the construction of a sea train."

“I reckon this sea train will be completed soon. But you surely know what your brother has in his hands, so how could the government possibly let him live so easily?”

Dan naturally understood that his brother held the blueprints for Hades, and he knew his brother's stubborn and persistent personality all too well.

After hearing Luo Tian's words, Dan remained silent for a long while, then raised her head to look directly at Luo Tian and questioned him:

"Why should I believe you really have the ability to rescue my brother from this predicament?"

Luo Tian looked back at Dan with a firm gaze, and said in a calm but confident tone:

"The reason is actually very simple, because in the whole world right now, I am the only one who is willing to help you."

Dan fell silent again after hearing this, unsure of what to do.

Seeing Dan's state, Luo Tian knew he couldn't push her too hard, so he said gently:

"Once you've made up your mind, you can contact Jinbe anytime. He'll be staying by my side for the next few days."

As soon as he finished speaking, Luo Tian turned around and left, leaving Jinbe following closely behind with a helpless expression.
