11 Fish-Man Island
William: Uncle, why are not you surprised when you see me swimming?
Rayleigh: For the simple reason that you have an aquatic Zoan, the aquatic Zoan are rare, even the most common of them, in fact I had a friend who had the fruit of the shark no mi.
William: Oh that's the reason, but, then aquatic Zoans are invincible.
Rayleigh: Not really, actually if you have an aquatic Zoan and you are in the sea and you have ten years of experience you will win against someone stronger than you, but if you are in the land then the aquatic Zoan will be your weakness, after all its animals, beasts that live underwater, so even though water and probably air will be your strength, the earth will be your weakness, so you'll have to develop your body and find a solution to remedy that.
William: hmm okay.
Well now get ready; we'll leave tomorrow at dawn. Said Rayleigh.
Ok, answer William.
The island of fishmen is the homeland of Sirens and fishmen. Unlike other islands, it is an underwater island that is 10,000 meters deep below Red Line. This island is for those who do not want (or cannot) pass the sacred land of Mary Geoise, the only way to get to the New World despite the many risks involved.
Tomorrow morning.
William POV:
I walk towards the ship, I think that beside Rayleigh, Carl will come with us, probably we will meet Hatchan, he is the only one who saved Rayleigh in 1502.
Arriving as I thought, I could see a man in his fifties and a man in his thirties.
Rayleigh: it's good, are you ready?
William: yes.
As the journey begins...
After two months of sailing, we arrive at the archipelago of Sabaody.
Rayleigh: Ok we stay here for a week and we leave for the island of fishmen.
Okay, said William
Carl just nodded.
Rayleigh: Ok now everyone does what he wants.
William and Carl nodded.
Rayleigh POV:
Ok, I'm going to see Shakky...
I am now standing next to a bar, opening the door I see a woman with short black hair smoking a cigarette while beating three men.
Rayleigh: Hi Shakky, how are you.
Shakky: Rayleigh you finally appeared, I thought you were dead.
Rayleigh: You're a little rough, treating death your husband, what do you do to those poor people?
Shakky: Oh, do not pay attention to them; they did not want to pay for their food, so I teach them the art of respect.
Rayleigh: Oh I think they'll learn it well.
After finishing her education, Shakky comes in behind the bar counter, takes a bottle of Sake, two glasses, and she pours for herself and Rayleigh.
So how has it been in recent years? Shakky said, taking a puff of a cigarette.
Its okay, what you want me to say to you, I met a young man, and I train him since, he is the last of them.
The last of them, what do you mean by that?
Nothing Shakky you do not have to know said Rayleigh taking a sip of sake.
Ok does what you like, Shakky replied.
Other than that, you decide to take another disciple? Says Shakky
No he is not a disciple, rather a student; he is very strong, of course for his age. Said Rayleigh
Oh, you treat someone strong; it's not your habit. Said Shakky.
Hmm it's true, but hey, how are you? Said Rayleigh
I'm fine, business is good. Replied Shakky.
It's good. Rayleigh said, taking another sip of sake.
William POV:
After our agreement, I left to walk in this vast archipelago; most of my time was spent to buy food clothes.....
After the end of the week, we boarded the ship, and with Carl leading the ship, we entered the sea, all were black but little by little and with the help of the lights of the boat, we could see the seabed and their beauties, there were all kinds of fish, there was who measure few centimeters else, who measured meters long.
A few days passed, and a great light appeared, then looking good, I could see a big bubble of air surrounding a gigantic city, great corals, and sea grass decorate this beautiful city.
Surrounding the bubble, i could see giant sea monsters resembling to Asian dragons.
By far I could see the Ryugu palace, behind him a big golden Chinese dragon.
This view was fairy
Yes, we arrived; we arrived at the Fish-Man Island..
