As the three entered the Fish-Man Island, no one stopped them, and they smoothly entered even under the guide of the guard, who smiled at them like a dog happily.
"...did you do something to him?" Carina asked strangely.
"Just a simple hypnotize."
Carina blinked her eyes and asked, "Can I learn it?"
"It's an innate ability." Shinra thought for a moment and said, "My children will inherit this ability, though."
"Oh?"
At that moment, the eyes of Carina and Robin became thoughtful as they subconsciously reached for their bellies.
"...." Shinra.
Still, Shinra's eyes were more attracted towards a certain flag at the entrance of the island. "By the way, what's the flag?"
"Oh, that's the Whitebeard Pirate flag."
"Whitebeard pirate?"
The strongest pirate in the world, Whitebeard.
With the smash of his fist, the world would shake due to an earthquake.
Like Shinra, who could turn the island he was inside into a desert wasteland, Whitebeard was a walking disaster that could cause an earthquake and a tsunami.
"Isn't Fish-Man Island part of the World Government? Do they still need the protection of Whitebeard?"
"There are no Marines guarding this place. How can they protect themselves against the invaders?"
Invaders.
Like many weak countries that couldn't even protect themselves and had their people kidnapped and sold as slaves, the Fish-Man Island had a similar fate, but fortunately, their fate was better, since they lived under the ocean, 10,000 meters below the water surface, so the criminals had a hard time kidnapping those gorgeous mermaids and powerful fishmen as slaves.
"By the way, how can you get sunlight in this place?" Robin had been curious about the light that bathed gently over the island.
"Oh, it's from a tree known as a sunlight tree eve. This is the superior type of Yarukiman Mangrove at the Sabaody Archipelago."
"Oh?" 2x
Somehow, Robin and Carina looked at Shinra at the same time.
"Why did you look at me like that? If they don't cause trouble, will I have to do that?"
"That's good, then."
The two of them had seen how powerful Shinra was when he was serious; the power of Suna Suna no Mi was too disastrous as it would bring death to any lands that it was in.
Shinra also didn't want to cause destruction to the limited land in this world, but what could he do?
His means of attack were too limited, and whether it was Bane Bane no Mi or Supa Supa no Mi, it wouldn't bring him much of an advantage during his battle with Rayleigh.
While it was possible for him to use the special ability of the Mangekyou Sharingan, he tried to limit himself to the power of Mangekyou as he needed to use the Eye of Usurp and Eye of Beyond.
Then, what about the power of Kaiju?
Frankly, when Shinra saw the power of Divine Departure, he knew well that no matter how powerful the Kaiju was, they would be cut down by Rayleigh.
Shinra was lucky that he got the Suna Suna no Mi; otherwise, he would have been beaten by Rayleigh, and his attitude toward this old guy would have been more respectful since he couldn't defeat Rayleigh, but as he had the Suna Suna no Mi, there was no need to worry about anything.
Still, once again, the ability of Suna Suna no Mi was too dangerous as it would destroy the land itself, which was already limited, so it was better for him to use other methods.
Fortunately, there weren't any strong people on Fish-Man Island, so he had no need to use the Suna Suna no Mi.
"So, what are you planning to do here, Shinra? Isn't it better for us to go directly to the New World?"
Shinra's goal was clear, and that was to get the Batto Batto no Mi, Model: Vampire, so it was better not to waste their time.
"Let's walk around first. We might be able to find something interesting here."
"Such as?"
"Treasures!"
As Carina's eyes shone brightly, Robin quickly realized something and asked softly, but the excitement in her eyes betrayed her calm expression, "Is it...?"
"Probably." Shinra felt that there was something that Robin had always wished for in this place, and instead of wasting their time visiting this place again in the future, it was better for them to use this chance to search for Poneglyphs.
"Let's tour around the island first."
"Okay." 2x
Under the guidance of the guard, whom Shinra had hypnotized, the three walked around the Fish-Man Island like a group of tourists. While many glanced in their direction, no one took the approach to talk to them, especially when their group was led by a group of guards. When they saw Shinra's appearance, they thought that he was a noble family from above, especially when he exuded an aura that was different from others, and frankly, they were also happy to welcome him since Shinra's consumption was high as he spent his money like water in this place.
Whether it was Robin or Carina, the two loved shopping, so of course, they spent a lot of money on clothes, all the books, and even many unique items.
Still, as they passed a group of fish-men, who seemed to be poor, they snorted.
"Keh, what are you bowing to a group of lower humans like that for?!"
"You are a disgrace to our race!"
"You should cut your head off to act like a servant toward a group of humans!"
Shinra glanced in their direction, and then all of them shut their mouths before they made a rampage over the area.
"What are you doing?!"
"Guard, catch them!"
"You bastard!"
Shinra hypnotized several guards as his bodyguards, so they wouldn't be bothered, but even so, it seemed that the situation of the Fish-Man Island was worse than he had imagined.
"What was wrong with them?" Carina frowned.
Lower human?
So what were they?
"Is it always like this?" Shinra asked.
"Unlike the mermaid, the appearance of the fish-men is like that, and most of them are living at the bottom, and you should also know the treatment of humans toward us."
"Well, that's true."
Even the same human, but just came from a different region, language, or even skin, could make a conflict, then what about the fish-men, who lived on the water and had a visage similar to a fish?
On the other hand, a mermaid was accepted more easily since their visage was good and they were good-looking.
It was unfair, but this was how reality was, right?
Yet, as Shinra, Robin, and Carina continued to tour around the Fish-Man Island, ignoring all the troubles that they had caused in the area, and walked toward the Sea Forest, a place northeast of Fish-Man Island, also known as the Ship Graveyard.
Or just a place to throw away waste.
"Oh, there it is."
However, in this place, a single cube existed, the stele that kept the long-lost history.
As Robin was in a daze, Shinra pushed her back. "Go."
"Thanks." Robin smiled sweetly and kissed his cheek before she stepped forward as she started to read.
Meanwhile, Shinra and Carina just chatted about the value of the Fish-Man Island, yet in another place, many quickly took notice of Shinra and his group.
"A strange human is being led by a group of guards?"
"What are they doing?"
"They are suspicious."
"Also, why did those guys fight and cause destruction in the market?"
"They are just bandits. What did you expect?"
"Shut up!" A shark-like fish-man looked at all of them solemnly and said, "No matter what, they are suspicious. We have to catch them!"
