Chapter 107: Warning
“And…there he goes” Said Usopp.
“Guys!, I can see a theme park from here! Let's go, I want to ride on the Ferris wheel.” Childishly exclaimed Brook.
“A theme park!” Shouted Chopper.
“That’ll be Shabondy Park.” Said Camie. “The Ferris wheel…It is my dream to have a go on that someday...”
“Why can't you go?” Asked Chopper.
“Are merfolk not allowed in the park?” Asked Vivi.
“Stop that nonsense, Camie! You know you can't do that!” Admonished Pappag.
Camie lowered her head in shame. “Yeah…I know…”
“I wonder if I’m allowed.” Said Chopper.
“Hacchi, what exactly are we doing on this island?” Asked Nami. “You mentioned something about coating, right?”
“Yes, we have to go find a coating mechanic and have him coat your ship in this resin” Answered the octopus.
“So, they are going to put the entire ship inside a bubble.” Said Vivi.
Hacchi nodded. “With that, you will be able to travel to Fishman Island.”
“Really?!” Exclaimed Chopper.
“Wait…we have to go underwater inside a bubble?...that sounds dangerous” Said Usopp.
“It is very dangerous” Admitted Hacchi. “That is why is so important to find a good coating mechanic. If the job is not done properly, the bubble could collapse when you are underwater and you will be done.”
“What?...guys…cant we go somewhere else?. I’m not liking this!” Cried Usopp.
“It is the only way to progress. And I don't think you change Luffy’s mind anyways.” Said Vivi.
“Luckily for you guys, I happened to know the best coating mechanic in this place. I would trust my life to him without hesitation.” Said Hacchi with confidence.
“But in return, I would like you to promis-” Hacchi was unable to finish as some came down screaming.
“Ahhh!” Luffy was smashed against the ground but recovered quickly since he is made of rubber.
“That was scary! the bubble broke!”
Sanji smacked him on the head.
“Would you stop playing around?!. The octopus was explaining some important stuff!.”
Hacchi coughed. “Yes…as I was saying. I will introduce you guys to this coating mechanic. In exchange, I only want you to promise me one thing…when we go into town, there is a good chance that you will encounter a World Noble.”
“Who are those?” Asked Luffy.
“They are the people who live in Mariejoa.” Said Robin.
“Ah…so what about them?” Said Luffy, not understating where this was going.
Hacchi expression grew serious. “No matter what happens when you are in town…you have to promise me to never defy a World Noble!. Even if people were to be killed in front of your eyes, you have to pretend that you didn't see anything.”
“Are they that dangerous?” Asked Sanji.
“Are they strong?” Asked Zoro.
“No, they are not strong, but they are very dangerous. ” It was Vivi the one who spoke.
“You will be able to easily spot them. They are dressed like morons and wear fishbowls to cover their heads so they can avoid breathing the same air as the common folk.”
“You know those guys?” Asked Luffy.
Although she has never met them in person. The previous Vivi did meet one.
“Just one. They are the worst kind of people you can imagine.”
“Why are they so dangerous then?.” Asked Usopp.
“First... they never leave their houses without a strong bodyguard. And second, if you lay a finger on one of them, Marine Headquarters will be immediately notified and an Admiral will be dispatched to protect the World Noble and kill the offender. And remember that we are very close to the Headquarters, so it will not take long. You can think of them as a walking Buster Call.”
Vivi felt a bit apologetic when she saw Robin flinch at the mention.
Most of the crew looked worried, except for their Captain.
“Buster Call…what was that again?” Luffy asked.
“Nevermind that, Captain. Just remember to not punch guys wearing fishbowls on their heads.”
“Got it!“ Luffy gave her a thumbs up.
“I just wish Zoro had listened to the explanation.” Mentioned Vivi.
“What?” Exclaimed Sanji while looking around, trying to find the swordsman.
“When did he leave?” Asked Usopp.
“Like five minutes ago.” Said Vivi.
“He told me that he was going for a walk” Explained Chopper.
“This is bad!.” Sanji had sweatdrops falling down his face.
—--------------------------------------------
Sanji, Franky, and Usopp decided to stay on the ship while the rest went out to explore the place.
“There are a few things you should watch out for here, other than World Nobles.” Explained Hacchi.
“This island is a gathering place for people aiming for the New World. This means that there are plenty of famous pirates like yourselves to be found, as well as many marines who are after them. There are also many bounty hunters and kidnappers.”
“Lovely place“ Commented Vivi with sarcasm.
“If you do anything to get noticed, they will be coming after you in an instant...So, I will advise you to be careful.” Said Hacchi.
“What happened to your forehead, when did you get hurt?” Luffy asked after noticing that Hacchi had covered his forehead, where his tattoo was displayed, using some bandaids.
“Nothing, don't worry about it,” Hacchi said, dismissively.
“And one last thing…” He added.
“Jezz, soo many warnings” Complained Luffy.
“Make sure to not mention that I or Camie are fishmen or merfolk while we are here. Just treat us like normal humans.” Said Hacchi.
Luffy was about to ask why when Robin spoke.
“It would be easier for us that way. I’m sure we can avoid a lot of trouble that way.”
“Remember that Hacchi and Camie were kidnaped already. And he said that there are a lot of bounty hunters and slave traders.” Vivi pointed out.
“Fine.” Luffy agreed. He then lost interest in the conversation and went to grab one of the bubbles before placing it on his head.
