Chapter 53 - CHAPTER 53

Meanwhile a normal day on the boat.

"Shiro! We have a problem!"

-What's happening?.

"We can't fish, there are no fish."

-I don't care, you get fish because you get it, the food is running out because of you.

"Come on, it's not that bad."

-I'm going to sink you to the bottom of the sea, to see if that way you can get some fish.

"If you do that I'm going to die."

-Details, not so important.

"Than cruel".

"Luffy-Luffy."

"What's up chopper."

They were both fishing.

"Look, there are a lot of fish passing together, you have to catch them."

"Okay, food at last."

"We'll finally get something."

"Wow, they're coming right at us."

A cluster of 20 fish in a group approached the boat.

Unfortunately for the moment, some black clouds appeared in the place, overshadowing the entire area in which they were.

-A storm?

Nami, who was relaxing in her break, noticed the sudden change in weather and also saw several whirlwinds being created in the sea.

"We have a problem".

-What's going on?.

"That's a Yuuda stream, a whirlwind snake, everyone be careful."

"Everyone who was nearby listened to Nami's words, to put more emphasis on what was happening around them."

At that moment, from the whirlwinds, a current several meters high came out, moving like a snake.

"It seems as if they are alive."

These same whirlwinds had appeared the way it would surround them.

And they were many, they began to attack the ship, but they were either cut down by zoro, destroyed by shiro, hit by luffy and defeated by robin.

Nami tried with all her might to move the rudder, while chopper panicked, but unfortunately, thanks to the large number of eddies below them, it was impossible for her to move the ship.

These whirlwinds were attacking non-stop, and kept being stopped by the group.

At one apparent moment, one of those snake-shaped whirlwinds positions itself below the ship causing the ship itself to go flying making almost everyone there scream.

Then the boat that in a consecutive current that seemed to take them somewhere, this time the trip that was fast but momentarily passive.

While everyone was alert to anything, Nami takes a pair of binoculars and looks at a wall of red rocks in the distance.

"Guys, look!"

They all put their eyes to the front, seeing the same thing that Nami saw.

"I see it, I see it."

"It's the Red Line."

"We have finally arrived."

With a few maneuvers we were able to pass the whirlwinds and be in a safe area, where the sun was shining and the red line could be seen perfectly.

"Wow, I can't see the top, it's huge."

-So it seems.

Shiro was looking at this whole place with only curiosity.

Its 10 minutes passed and we were closer to the red line.

"Now we are next to the headquarters of the navy and its government, the holy land of Mariejoa."

[So here is the world government].

The boat had stopped next to the red line, everyone continued their training and daily activities.

Except for Nami, who was looking at his Log Pose and it was indicating the direction below.

-So Nami, any ideas?

"Well I know which direction we should take, but I don't know how we can get there."

-What a mess.

While they were talking, to the right of the boat a rabbit with half the body of a fish appeared, this was super giant, this animal approached the boat to attack it.

Luffy just stretched out his arm and hit him hard in the stomach.

Thus defeating the beast and making it spit something out of its mouth.

"Huh? A fish?"

That "something", was falling exactly to the ship very fast, in the end it fell on top of luffy crushing him.

In the end, what had come out of the beast's mouth was a mermaid with green hair, along with an orange starfish.

"What a relief, we are saved."

"That was great".

"Don't be so happy! A little more and we would have been digested!"

The mermaid and the star spoke as if the others on the ship did not exist.

"How can you think of not running away from a monster like that?"

"Well, I didn't notice."

"How is it possible that you didn't realize it, if it was so big."

"Well, that doesn't matter anymore, but there's something below you."

"Hey?...".

"AAAAAH! I CRUSHED A HUMAN!!!"

"I'm so sorry, you're fine, I hurt you a lot!"

Luffy came to his senses a few seconds later.

"Huh?! Who are you?!"

[That's a mermaid, I never thought I would find one, this world keeps surprising me].

Minutes later.

"So your name is Camie."

"Yes, I'm sorry for falling on your ship, I was about to be eaten by a huge monster, it was exciting."

"I don't think that's exciting."

"And hey."

Luffy grabs the starfish.

"And what is this talking glove, Camie?"

"Sorry, I completely forgot about him, he is my pet and my teacher."

"Teacher?".

"Yes Master".

"This?".

"Yeah".

"Nice to meet you."

-Wow, the starfish speaks.

"And not only that".

The starfish took out a small guitar from its back.

"I'm with her, for a few reasons."

"🎶Camie always gives me clams🎶."

"Wow, he started to sing."

"🎶Are you a person? And I'm a starfish, but not a person🎶!".

"🎶A scoundrel! I'm not a person, but I am a starfish!".

[What a shit letter].

The starfish kept singing, but we completely ignored it and went to a more secluded place to talk to keimi.

"Look, this shirt I'm wearing, it's speck, on the island of the fish men."

"Island of the fish men?".

"Yes, I also work there in a mermaid cafe, they want to see it."

"Great, I would like to meet him?".

"That will be for another opportunity, Luffy, we have a problem with the direction we are taking, and we would like to ask you, if there would be any power, to be able to cross the red line."

"Redline?".

"Yes-yes, what you see in front of you."

Keimi looked closely and noticed the large wall of rocks.

"Wow, that's huge!"

"Ah yes, yes, I know, many pirates pass through here having the same question."

-So you know?

"Yes, for starters, there are two routes you can take to get to the new world."

"But only one was accessible to pirates."

"Because?".

"Because one of them requires the permission of the world government."

"To be able to cross the Red Line over the mountain, traversing the sacred land of Mariejoa at its summit."

"Of course, there's no way for a pirate to get through there."

"However, the route you must take allows you to keep your ship and everything else."

"That route is known as the water route that goes directly to Fishman Island."

"But the route is very dangerous."

-How dangerous?

"Lots of people have been eaten with their ships, monsters and sea kings."

"Wow, I understand, that is dangerous."

"But wait a minute, Camie, they said we can travel on boats, right?"

Nami spoke in pursuit of her curiosity.

"Yeah".

"What kind of ship can we use to travel the sea route?"

"This ship."

"Hey!" (All).

-Hey, this ship can't go underwater.

"Don't worry, that's not the problem."

"In that wall that goes around the world called the Red Line...there is a small hole in one place."

"Though from another perspective, it's a hole."

"And that's where Fishman Island is."

"It is just below the sacred land of Mariejoa, about 10 thousand meters deep."

-How ironic.

"So deep?".

-But then, what do you mean by saying that we are going to go with this boat through the aquatic route?

"Well, there is a place, where the ship can be covered, I can guide you now."

"We are very grateful to you Camie, you are great."

"No, it's not that bad, hehehe!"

After a very long time.

They had arrived at the place that Camie indicated, it was like an island, full of huge trees and many giant bubbles floating everywhere.

"This place looks great."

"It's called the Shabondy Archipelago."

We enter with the ship through the sea routes.

"Awesome, this place has a lot of bubbles floating around it."

"Who will be blowing them".

"They are emerging from the trees."

Can this island do that?

"Well, it's not exactly an island, have you ever heard of mangrove trees?"

"Mangrove?".

"They are roots in the ocean that sink and emerge with the tides, although in this case, the Mangroves here never sink."

-Oh...

"The Shabondy Archipelago are the largest Mangroves in the world."

"There are seventy-nine trees and all of them are like little islands."

"I see that each tree has a number."

"Yes, each one has an assigned number, the closest one, Mangrove 44, is the entrance for civilians, so let's move the ship closer."

[These roots are huge, they have a black tone below].

It took a few minutes until we arrived.

"Okay, here it is, let's land here."

Now if we step on these so-called Mangrove trees.

"Wow a bubble came out of the ground, how funny."

- I don't know where you see the fun.

How do these bubbles work?

"The roots of the Mangroves secrete a unique and special resin, so when the trees expire, the resin is blown out as well and these bubbles are formed."

"I see, so that's why they're floating in the sky."

-So Camie, where are we going, did you say something about coating?

"We have to find a raincoat technician to coat it with this resin."

"That would allow the ship to go underwater."

"Oh really?".

"Yes, that's the only way humans can get there."

"But there is a caveat."

-Oh, the starfish spoke.

"They already forgot about me, how bad."

"Anyway, as I was saying, when we enter the city, we will see World Nobles everywhere."

-Nobles of the world?

"Who are those guys."

"The citizens of the sacred land of Mariejoa".

Robin contributed with the data.

"And what about them?"

"It doesn't matter, what may happen in the city."

"You shouldn't lay a finger on those people, no matter what."

"No matter what, what do you mean."

Zoro was confused by the starfish's words.

"I'll say it one more time no matter what, don't do anything even if you see someone die in front of you, keep walking and don't look back."

[Hmm....].
