Chapter 185: Seven Deadly Sins Homies
"Totto Land Kingdom, Fallen Angel Pirates"
Somewhere in the Grand Line, near the Calm Belt, on a remote island—
A young man over five meters tall stood holding a recently disconnected voice-transmission Den-Den Mushi. His expression was dazed and stunned.
"Kukulkan El… He's also a Lunarian?"
"Could he be the Joy Boy mentioned in our ancient Lunarian prophecy—the one destined to change this world?"
The man's appearance was striking: black wings spread from his back, ash-gray hair framed his face, his brown skin glowed faintly, and flames flickered behind his head.
Apart from his darker complexion, his physical features were nearly identical to El's.
This man, too, was a member of the legendary Lunarian race.
…
South Blue, Sorbet Kingdom
Amid a bustling crowd watching the broadcast, a towering teenager built like a small giant tightened his fists as tears welled up in his eyes.
Quietly slipping away, he whispered to himself, trembling with emotion:
"A dreamland where all races can live in peace and harmony?"
"If only it weren't so far away…"
Looking up at the blue sky, the boy's expression turned melancholic.
"I'm just an ordinary person. There's no way I can make it all the way to the New World…"
But he wasn't an ordinary human.
He belonged to the Buccaneer Tribe, a rare and nearly extinct race like the Lunarians and the Three-Eye Tribe. Although he appeared human, his unique blood type set him apart.
The World Government had issued strict orders: anyone discovering individuals with this special blood type would be heavily rewarded for reporting them.
"Clapp, what's wrong?"
A lively young girl waved at him.
"Even if the Fallen Angel Pirates are as brutal as they say, they're all the way in the New World. They have nothing to do with us!"
"It's nothing… You're right," Clapp replied, suppressing his emotions and forcing a smile.
The girl failed to notice his unusual behavior.
…
"Totto Land Kingdom? Could it be real?"
"Isn't that Ily? And Jien is there too!"
"I heard Ily was kidnapped by slavers. Looks like the Fallen Angel Pirates saved her!"
"But Ily couldn't even beat an ordinary Fish-man. Why would the Fallen Angel Pirates let her stay?"
"Are they truly building a dreamland where all races can live together in peace and harmony?"
"Could our Fish-men and Merfolk really live in the Totto Land Kingdom?"
"It seems so. Look at the Fallen Angel Pirates' inner circle. They include members of every race!"
"Yes, whether it's normal humans, Mink folk, Longlegs, Snakenecks, Three-Eye Tribe, or even Giants…"
"And don't forget, El himself is a member of the legendary Lunarian race!"
"El-sama is so handsome!"
"I've decided—I'm joining the Fallen Angel Pirates!"
Meanwhile, on Fish-men Island, in Fish-men Square
A large crowd of Fish-men and Merfolk gathered to watch the broadcast.
Among the images of the Fallen Angel Pirates' officers, some recognized the mermaid girl Ily and the now-world-government-wanted "Sea Tiger" Jien, who once trained in Fish-man Karate and Jujutsu on the island.
Young Fish-men and Merfolk, especially the fiery youths and impressionable girls, were visibly moved by El's speech.
Their hearts brimmed with admiration and hope, their imaginations running wild with possibilities.
Ily's smiling face was clear evidence—she didn't seem forced to be there. She wore no slave collar, and her health looked remarkable.
The diverse mix of species among the Fallen Angel Pirates' officers reinforced El's sincerity. This wasn't an empty promise—he truly intended to create a nation free of racial discrimination and oppression, where all species could live peacefully together.
"Papa, can we live on land too?"
A small Fish-men child with red skin, a wide mouth, and fish scales looked up innocently at his father.
"Maybe," replied a young Fish-man with a rough, delinquent appearance and greenish-blue skin after a moment of hesitation.
Squatting down, he patted the child's head and encouraged him:
"If you work hard at Fish-man Karate and become as strong as Sea Tiger Jien, you might even join the Fallen Angel Pirates one day!"
"Really?" The little Fish-man's eyes lit up with excitement. "I'll work hard, then!"
…
Meanwhile—Inside the Mirror World
Few knew what was transpiring.
El, Uthan, Barry, Ryan, and Gerd traveled aboard Thundercloud Zeus, speeding through the mirrored pathways.
Joining them this time was a towering shark-like Fish-man with light blue skin.
"El-sama, the mirror up ahead leads directly to Bridport Island!" Barry, the Mirror-Mirror Fruit user, pointed at a half-meter-tall mirror.
"Oh? We're almost there?"
El's expression remained calm as he retrieved a permanent Log Pose.
"According to Sally's intel, that man should be on Alvia Island, near Bridport Island."
"Heh, a soul as strong as his… another 'Queen-Level' Homie in the making," El mused.
Standing beside him was Gerd, who, even in her shrunken form at just three meters tall, radiated overwhelming strength.
El turned to her with a smile.
"This will complete the 'Seven Deadly Sins.'"
Among the Fallen Angel Pirates, there were only six six-winged angel-level Homies. The seventh seat remained vacant.
El had his sights set on their target.
…
Two Hours Later
Leaving Bridport Island behind, El and his group rode Thundercloud Zeus, skirting a sudden storm, and arrived at their destination—Alvia Island.
"There's a notably strong presence here…"
El's expression remained indifferent as his formidable Observation Haki spread across the island like an invisible web.
In an instant, he detected a remarkable aura radiating from deep within the island. Narrowing his eyes, his voice turned cold:
"A Paramecia user, huh? If he's already considering the World Government's offer, all the more reason to eliminate him."
…
At the Same Time, On Alvia Island
On a distant shoreline, a rugged middle-aged man with deep scars on his face sat leisurely, fishing.
Suddenly, his face changed.
Springing to his feet, he turned sharply toward the dense forest behind him, his instincts screaming danger.
His eyelid twitched uncontrollably as a deep sense of unease surged through him.
"This… this primal, beast-like aura…"
