Chapter 238 Polsalino: I Said It All, I Was Chasing After The Latest Update.
Although Fishman Street has changed a lot now, with his intuition and the few remaining old signs, Tiger has successfully found his former home - that dilapidated shack, which has now become a rather prosperous place. Food court, all kinds of food stalls, all kinds of foodies...
Among these stalls, a small shop that made takoyaki on the spot immediately caught Tiger's attention.
A long line of diners lined up in front of the shop, with a seagull-patterned turban on his head. The fish-man named Little Eight Octopus was very busy. Each of his six sturdy arms had their own division of labor. The secret takoyaki is packed into boxes one by one.
"The reception is poor, please use it!"
Hachi wiped the sweat on his forehead and handed a freshly made takoyaki to the guest with a smile on his face, but while looking up, he inadvertently looked at Tiger who was looking at him, smiling. Immediately, his face froze.
In order to infiltrate The fish men island, Tiger did a disguise, carrying a one-shoulder backpack and pretending to be a tourist. But his physique, aura, etc., as well as some details, can't hide the little eight who have followed him since childhood...
Seeing that Xiao Ba noticed himself, Tiger nodded slightly.
The former reacted immediately, put down the kitchen utensils in his hand decisively, and regardless of the long line of business, he shouted loudly towards the surroundings:
"Sorry, everyone! We are temporarily closed today!
"
"Eh?!"
The exclamations of the diners came one after another. Many of them were repeat customers, and there were also foodies who came from various urban areas.
Xiao Ba didn't explain much. He hurriedly packed his things and pushed the cart to squeeze out of the crowd. When Tiger saw this, he followed him naturally, as if he was on the way.
...
A few minutes later, Xiao Ba's new home.
"Hahahaha! You've changed so much, Little Eight!"
Tiger laughed and gave Xiao Ba a bear hug, and patted the latter hard on the back.
"...Tiger, Big Brother Tiger!"
Xiaoba's nose is a little sore and his eyes are red - most of the children in Fishman Street don't know who their parents are, or they have lost their parents since childhood. Although Tiger is nominally the eldest brother of many of them, but In fact, this eldest brother is like his father a lot of the time.
"Oh, you kid, why are you crying! Don't cry!"
Tiger smiled and let go of Xiaoba, looked at him from top to bottom, then nodded with relief, and said, "It seems that during the time I was not on The fish men island, how long did you live? Not bad, I actually became the owner of a takoyaki shop..."
"It's not just me, Big Brother Tiger!"
Xiao Ba rubbed his eyes and showed a big smile, "During the time you left The fish men island, a lot has changed here, and everyone is living a good life now!"
"Oh? Then you have to talk to me well!"
Although in the plan, Tiger will go to Dragon Palace today to meet the Neptune couple for the last time, but Tiger is more willing to stay with Xiaoba for a while longer than the two rulers of The fish men island.
...
As the most well-known adventurer on The fish men island, and the most loyal fish man street eldest brother, even after Tiger becomes a wanted criminal of the World government, there will still be many people in The fish men island to welcome him. , and even help hide him at the risk of being punished by Marine.
But under such circumstances, Tiger regarded this time as his last return to his hometown in his life...
It's not that he intends to commit suicide, or that he has some twisted emotions in his heart, but that he has made the same choice as "drought" Jack, one of the three plagues of Beasts Pirates.
Yes, Jack is a murloc like Tiger, but the former is the murloc who ate Devil Fruit. So although Jack will not be drowned by sea water, he still permanently loses the ability to swim.
And Tiger, as a senior cadre of the revolutionary army, in order to realize his ideal, in order to achieve the ultimate goal of the revolutionary army, he must get more powerful power - that is, become a Demon fruit power that can no longer swim.
Such a choice cannot be said to be easy, and it is no exaggeration to describe it as difficult. Therefore, what drives Tiger to make such a choice is not only a pure ideal, but also the Devil Fruit itself...
Back in time a year ago, which is Sea Circle Calendar 1506 -
According to the information found by Luo and others in the old Simon's safe house, Long took the cadres of the Revolutionary Army and took a warship to an ordinary sea area in the third route of Paradise. However, when they looked around, it was just an ordinary, endless sea.
The ship's lookout looked around with his binoculars, but looked around and saw nothing.
(Really nothing? Even if there is an island or reef...)
Luo, who was looking around on the deck with Long and the others, couldn't help but think so - according to old Simon, the top Logia Devil Fruit that can create "Lily Carnations", Sensen Fruit, is on this coordinate.
Before Luo thought that the coordinates they got were a small island for people to live in, or simply a deserted island, but there was nothing here.
After the warship turned around here for a while, the sound of a lookout searching fruitlessly came from the mast:
"Mr. Long, we've seen it all over. There's nothing around...well, except for a coral reef."
The added sentence behind the lookout caught the dragon's attention.
"Coral reefs?"
Long was stunned for a moment, then he frowned again and ordered, "Let's go over."
The warship slowed down slowly, and finally approached a large patch of plants spreading on the sea... It looked like a coral reef from a distance, but it wasn't. However, there should be a reef under the plant. The plants growing on the sea are not floating algae, but some kind of plant.
"strangeness……"
The warship broke down here, and after the ship stopped, Bello Beatty, the commander of the Eastern Army of the Revolutionary Army, looked at the plant and said softly.
"What's so strange?"
The deputy commander of the Grand Line Army asked Lightning back. He thought the other party saw something... But it's not a strange thing if there are only plants growing on the sea.
"No, it's nothing, it's just... I just haven't seen this kind of plant."
Although Bello Betty has always appeared as a female warrior at the forefront of the battlefield after eating the fruit of Paramecia inspiration, she was actually a delicate noble lady who had studied with various scholars since she was a child, and was very knowledgeable ——And she was sure that the plants in front of her were not common plants.
"Have you not seen Betty..."
Long fell into silence, and after a while, he said again, "The ship is temporarily parked here, we are in charge of vigilance, Tiger, please go down and have a look."
Compared with the other senior cadres on the deck, after wandering on the sea for a long time, Tiger finally joined the revolutionary army. It is true that Tiger has the least "qualification", but because of his feats in Mariejois, everyone respects and trusts him very much. ——The reason why he was asked to act at this time was simply because everyone else was a "land-duck" person, but he was a murloc who was born to live in the water.
"no problem!"
So then Tiger plunged into the sea with a Mengzi.
After Tiger entered the sea, gradually, fog began to form on the sea surface, and the surrounding area became like a lake... Long and others on the boat immediately raised their vigilance to the highest level.
On the other hand, as Tiger dived, he found out that there was a group of reefs below.
Tiger looked around, and after a general observation, he found that the flora spread out on a large area on the sea surface. After reaching the water, the rhizomes began to gather. It seems that this is not a plant, but a plant... just like Sabaody. The islands are the same, but the scope here is much smaller.
After confirming that the plants were all gathered in one place, Tiger didn't think much about it, and immediately swam toward the gathering place.
The taproot of this plant spreads out from the side of a volcanic rock pile. After Tiger circled around the rock pile for a few times, he found that there was a hidden passage extending inward on the other side, so he followed Start swimming in this passage.
The passage was winding, and after swimming for a long time, the narrow waterway began to widen, and then, Tiger felt the air outside.
Inside is a cave, and a lot of air is blocked by sea water... The plant can also be seen in the cave.
In other words, Tiger found the growth point of the plant.
Wet stone steps, moss, stalactites... There is no doubt that this place can be used as a hidden residence.
That plant grew in the middle of the cave. After Tiger came to the cave, he first walked around the plant and found a lot of boxes in the back corner.
He walked over and lightly kicked a box on the outside, so he saw that the rotten wooden box was destroyed immediately, and a lot of golden coins rolled down.
But Tiger didn't care about those gold coins, he circled back to the front of the plant again.
There is a flat stone in front of it. Maybe someone used it as a simple table, but now it has been curled up by the roots of this plant...
There seemed to be something on the stone, and Tiger immediately used murloc karate, chopped off a part of the roots with a knife, and took the thing out.
Is it a book?
No, it's a diary.
The material is not the parchment that pirates like to use to draw treasure maps, but a special kind of paper, similar to tree bark. I am afraid it is for this reason that this diary can be used in this environment. be preserved.
"July 28, 997, sunny."
"My crew and I were lucky enough to leave the Land of Gold with the big secrets we found there..."
Tiger casually opened the diary, and then read the contents of this page. The date of the diary made him feel at ease, because according to the information found by Luo and the others, the last capable person of Sensen Fruit was a great pirate who was active five or six hundred years ago.
He flipped through the pages.
After reading several articles in a row, Tiger probably understood what kind of story was recorded in the diary.
The owner of this diary used to be an ordinary pirate, but his luck was very good. Not only did he not die in the cruel sea, but instead he recruited a group of reliable men and went all the way to the second half of the Grand Line. "The Land of Gold"...
The name "Golden Country" is not common in today's world, and it can even be said that few people use it anymore, but five or six hundred years ago, this name was famous because it was this rich country that gave birth to a strong The "Dragon Slaying Swordsman" Ryoma.
That's right, "Golden Country" is the former name of Wanokuni, the kingdom of samurai today.
In this country of gold, the owner of the diary witnessed the battle between Ryoma and another powerful swordsman, Cyrano. The competition between the two split the sky and shattered the earth.
The owner of the diary and his comrades were caught in the aftermath of the battle, and a bottomless crack fell...
......
"July 15, 997, sunny?"
"I thought we would fall to pieces in the abyss, but who would have thought that the bottom of the abyss was a large forest of barnacles? Hahahaha, Laozi's luck has always been good!"
"It's not just barnacles, there are all kinds of plants, it's like a big forest..."
"However, the big forest at the bottom of the abyss is nothing compared to what we have seen... It is the ruins of another golden country! It was submerged by the sea! It is intact and neat. Qi, it's like being swallowed up by the sea in one night..."
"Why? Why is there a country of gold under the country of gold? Why is it submerged by the sea?"
"And we also saw *****..."
"What a pity, that thing seems to be broken, no matter how we manipulate it, it doesn't respond at all... It seems like a very powerful weapon!"
"But we saw other treasures in a place like a temple! That pattern, that shape! That's right! That's Devil Fruit! And it's the top Logia Devil Fruit!"
...
"August 10, 997, overcast."
"One Devil Fruit is obviously not enough for a boat, so Laozi killed them... As a captain, it's a matter of course."
"I knew that I would do it when I was at the bottom of the abyss, but that was the time when they needed their strength. After all, they had to go out..."
...
"August 19, 997, sunny."
"It's really unpalatable! It's worse than shit! Is this the taste of Devil Fruit? But in order to get the power, I didn't even have any skin or juice left, so I ate them all..."
"My body is starting to grow saplings. It's numb and itchy. It feels weird..."
"But it doesn't feel very strong, this Logia fruit... Is Laozi going to be a farmer?"
...
"September 9, 999, sunny."
"Sinking five pirate ships today, hahahaha! The luckiest thing in my life, Baron Carnival, is to get this forest fruit! What a powerful force! This is nature itself!"
"All the properties of plants can be reflected in me, all!"
"By the way, fire is really annoying! Why should there be fire in this world!"
......
The name of the owner of the diary suddenly appeared in the diary, in a self-proclaimed way, "Baron Carnival"... And this name, Tiger had heard Luo and the others talk about it.
The miscellaneous fish pirate named Arthur, who was trying to find the "Lily Carnation" that can make people live forever, saw the words left by the "Carnival Baron" and started to act... But the "Carnival Baron", and this The "Carnival Baron" in the diary, shouldn't their active times be far apart?
In an instant, all kinds of thoughts were running around in Tiger's mind, and in the end he turned around and focused on the plant.
