Chapter 376 Mermaid



Chapter 376 Mermaid

"Rubber rubber... Rotating gun!!"

"Sanji, roast it!" After knocking down the sea monster, Luffy pulled the sea monster that had not yet sunk and shouted excitedly.

"It's too big. It can't fit in the Sunny." Sanji complained, but he still went to take a closer look to see if he could cut some meat to bring up.

"Something came out of the sea monster's mouth." Qi looked at the deck and said, "Mermaid!"

"There's another strange thing!" Luffy looked at the glove with a hat in shock.

"What!? A mermaid!!" Sanji excitedly rushed towards the mermaid who had fallen on the deck, completely unaware of the starfish that had also fallen on the deck. With sparkling eyes, he helped the mermaid up and excitedly shouted, "Mermaid! It's really a mermaid! I finally saw a mermaid!!"

"Wow! I'm so scared! There are so many people!!"

"It really is a mermaid!"

“This is the first time I’ve seen it!”

Everyone said that they had completely forgotten about the Kokoro version of the mermaid they saw a few days ago. Even Zoro began to automatically delete the memory of this in his mind.

"What is this glove?" Luffy approached the starfish that fell with the mermaid, grabbed him and poked his body.

"Stop, Kimi, save me!"

The starfish, pretending to be dead, was annoyed and pushed Luffy's hand to try to stop him.

"Wow! The gloves can talk!!" Luffy shouted in shock.

"Hello, thank you for saving us. I'm Kemi, and this is my pet Papagu, a starfish, and also my master." The mermaid Kemi greeted them with a smile. "To repay you, I'll treat you to some takoyaki!"

"Takoyaki!?" Luffy immediately put down the starfish in his hand and excitedly approached the mermaid, his eyes turning into the shape of takoyaki. "I'm Luffy, let's go eat takoyaki now!!"

"Ah, if I want to use takoyaki as a thank you gift, then I have to meet with Hachi first." Kimi said as he dialed the Den Den Mushi.

Then they heard what Kimi said about Xiao Ba being captured by a human trafficking organization called the Flying Fish Knights.

"Isn't this place very close to the Navy Headquarters? How can there be such serious human trafficking here?" Qi asked in confusion.

"This place is very close to the Sabaody Archipelago, where human trafficking is rampant. It's the largest and most legal trafficking area," Papagu explained. "Mermaids fetch the highest price. This time, Hachi was captured because we were eaten by sea monsters and didn't return. So, Hachi from the takoyaki shop went to the human trafficking organization alone to look for us."

"Yeah, that's definitely the case... Hachi is the most considerate and loves to stand up for the weak... It's all my fault." Camie was very sad, then stood up and said firmly, "I have to go save him now! Luffy can only treat you to takoyaki next time!"

"Wait, Camie, although I shouldn't interfere in your private affairs, we can help you, on the condition that you tell us how to get to Fishman Island." Nami said to Camie with a smile, then pointed at Luffy and Odd and said, "I was wrong, they can help you!"

"Really? Thank you!" Camie said happily, then looked at Luffy and asked again, "Brother Luffy, are you really willing to help me save Hachi?"

"Ah, sure, but who is Hachi?" Luffy asked in confusion.

"This is the takoyaki boss I work for part-time. His takoyaki is the best in the world!"

"This is a big deal. Let's go, guys. We must risk our lives to rescue Takoyaki!" Luffy immediately raised his hands and shouted seriously.

"You really are..." Qi patted Luffy's head "only thinking about eating"

"Kimi, do you know how to get there?" Qi turned to look at Kemi and asked, "Do you know where their base camp is?"

"Let me see..." Kami held the map.

"Another octopus, and Hachi again. It reminds me of that stupid octopus from before..." Zoro complained.

"If it really is him, I won't save him...but that shouldn't be possible." Sanji said, then denied his guess.

"It's on Peninsula 44, halfway to the Sabaody Archipelago. If you want to go to Fishman Island, you must first go to the Sabaody Archipelago to replenish supplies and coating." Papagu explained.

"Let's head west! I'll ask the fish, they'll show us the way." Kami came to the side of the boat and called out to the fish in the sea. Soon many fish emerged from the water. "Tell me the way!"

Led by Yu'er, whom Kemi had called, they soon arrived at the human traffickers' base camp. The takoyaki boss was locked in a cage as a trap to lure them over.

However, no one expected that the takoyaki boss was actually Octopus Hachi, but Nami finally decided to save him. It was a battle without suspense. They quickly solved all the flying fish traffickers. The only surprise was the boss of the Flying Fish Knight, who looked exactly like the portrait on Sanji's bounty order.

Sanji was furious. Not only could the wanted poster not prove his prowess to all the beautiful women in the world, but he had finally come to terms with the fact that the wanted poster was a painting, and now there was someone who looked exactly like that ugly painting!

.......

"It's so delicious!!" Luffy excitedly put the takoyaki into his mouth and shouted excitedly while chewing.

"That's right, Xiaoba's takoyaki is the best in the world!" Kimi said happily.

"I can't stop, how come this takoyaki is so delicious!" Luffy said as he kept stuffing it into his mouth.

"It's really good." Qi nodded while chewing. "Come on, Sanji. Whether we can eat it in the future depends on you."

"I have to ask him how he made the broth." Sanji looked at the takoyaki in his hand while chewing. "It tastes very rich."

"This is my first time coming into contact with the culture of takoyaki. It's so delicious!" Brook exclaimed.

"Eat as much as you want. Everything is free today as a token of our gratitude for saving my life." Xiao Ba said with a smile, then looked at Nami who was sitting on the side and asked carefully, "Nami, how do you think it tastes..."

"Don't think that things can be written off just like that..." Nami said expressionlessly.

"No, no, I just want to ask how it tastes..." Xiao Ba waved his hands hurriedly.

"Great!" Nami replied with a smile.

"Really? Just eat as much as you can!"

......

"Listen carefully, there are two routes to the New World! However, for you illegals, there's only one way, and that's through the underwater route of Fishman Island, which is located 10,000 meters below the sea!" Papagu explained. "The other route is through Marijoa on the Red Earth Continent, but pirates won't be able to get government permission to do that."

"How can we use this ship to reach the bottom of the ocean 10,000 meters deep?" Qi asked.

"Coating!"

"We're going to the Chabao Archipelago next to film the boat!" added Kimi.

"Look, the Sabaody Archipelago is just ahead!"

"So many bubbles!" Luffy exclaimed in surprise. "Is that the Sabaody Archipelago?"

"It's like a dream island in a fairy tale world." Nami exclaimed as she looked at the various bubbles floating on the island.

"You don't have to worry about the pointer being covered on this island, because this island is not a real island, but is made up of the world's largest mangrove forest. The shampoo land is the roots of the mangroves floating on the water when the tide is low." Xiao Ba explained.

"There are 79 trees in total, and towns and corresponding facilities have been built under each tree. These 79 islands make up the Sabaody Archipelago. Pirates who plan to travel to the New World along various routes gather here."

"Just dock the boat at number 41, don't forget!"
