The Navy could never catch Shadow Fiend. After all, he could teleport to any corner of the world in an instant. Even Whitebeard couldn't catch him.
Hearing this, the bald man's body shook, and then he got up with great joy, grabbed Vladimir's leg, and said with tears in his eyes, "Shadow-sama, Sir, you must save me! Those Navy bastards actually locked me up in the underwater prison! They're going to lock me up for life!"
After a pause, he added, "I followed your instructions and did a good job for Lord Ibaraki, but I didn't expect to be affected by the battle between him and Akainu! Sir, you have to save me!"
"I don't have time now. You stay here honestly!"
Vladimir's mouth twitched. This guy's face was too thick. He directly came up to hug his leg. If it was a girl, he could accept it, but it was a bald man, which was disgusting.
"I'll come and save you after I'm done with what I have at hand. Don't worry, I can come and go as I please in the underwater prison. It's easy to save you too!"
"R-really?!"
The bald man seemed to see the lighthouse of life.
He vowed that if he could get out, he would follow Shadow-sama's lead in the future. If he followed-sama, he would definitely have a good life.
The underwater prison, which had never had a breakout in legend, was just like a backyard to Shadow Fiend. He could come and go as he pleased.
"Shadow-sama, you're my idol, you're the sun, you're the lighthouse! In the future, if you tell your little brother to go east, your little brother would never dare to take half a step west! You must come and save me!"
The bald man quickly racked his brains and began to flatter him.
Vladimir was speechless for a long time. He waved his hand and said, "I'll come when I have time. I'm leaving. I have something to do."
As soon as the voice fell, Vladimir's body began to dissipate like smoke.
The bald man didn't dare to have any dissatisfaction and quickly nodded and bowed, smiling and saying, "Sir, take care. You must come again!"
When he opened his eyes, Vladimir had already returned to the ship.
His ears were still echoing with those nauseating words, and he couldn't help but shiver again. He suddenly regretted going over.
Shaking his head, Vladimir didn't plan to save him for the time being. He immediately sat down cross-legged and began to train Haki.
A few hours later, a knock on the door came.
"Ibaraki, Fish-Man Island, we're here!"
"Ibaraki, Fish-Man Island, we're here!"
A knock on the door sounded, and with a thought, Vladimir got up and went to open the door.
The person standing at the door was named Yasopp, the sniper of the Red Hair Pirates. This person had dreadlocks, was very enthusiastic, and at the same time, he was Red Hair's first crew member.
"So fast, we're at Fish-Man Island in the blink of an eye..."
Vladimir muttered in surprise. He remembered that in the original story, the Straw Hat Pirates' arrival at Fish-Man Island was so dangerous that a small mistake could have led to the annihilation of the crew.
Shaking his head, he walked out of the room and followed Yasopp to the deck.
As soon as they left the cabin, the two were immediately squinted by the dazzling sunlight.
Vladimir looked up and saw that there was a huge light source above his head.
It wasn't the sun, but the "Sun Tree Eve." This ancient giant tree seemed to have existed since ancient times. It absorbed the sunlight above the sea and released it at its roots 10,000 meters below the sea, illuminating this deep-sea area.
At this time, the voice of the Fantasy Gene sounded in his mind.
"Scanning for Mysterious Power... Very powerful!"
"What?" Vladimir was a little surprised.
"This power comes from... above! The distance is more than 1000 meters. Because the power is so huge, it can be felt from so far away."
"Above, isn't that the Sun Tree Eve?" Vladimir opened his mouth, a little incredulous, "Could it be that that tree also has the same effect as a Devil Fruit?"
"Yes, but it can't be absorbed at present." The Fantasy Gene answered mechanically, "If it can be absorbed, it can at least make one transformation rise to full star level!"
"Why?"
"To give you an example, can an ordinary human eat an elephant in one bite?" The Fantasy Gene's voice was indifferent.
This metaphor was easy to understand. In short, the Fantasy Gene was not strong enough and could not absorb the power of the Sun Tree Eve.
"So, I have to get stronger first?"
Vladimir felt helpless. He had a treasure mountain, but he couldn't dig it for the time being. He made up his mind that when his Fantasy Gene became strong enough in the future, he would come and absorb the Sun Tree.
As for whether absorbing it would cause the seabed to lose sunlight, that was a problem. At worst, he would move Fish-Man Island to the sea. Speaking of which, the Queen of Fish-Man Island, her dream seemed to be this, and she later died because of it.
"Are you stunned?" Suddenly, Red Hair's laughter came, "Anyone would be stunned when they see the magnificence of the seabed for the first time."
Vladimir perfunctorily hummed and then turned his gaze to the front of the ship.
The pirate ship was sailing towards an underwater island.
The island floated in the air, and a huge double-layered bubble shield surrounded the entire island. From a distance, it looked like a fantasy world.
In the center of the huge bubble, there was a circular opening, which was the entrance and exit passage. Its size was large enough for large ships to pass through.
At this moment, the army guarding had discovered the approach of the pirate ship.
One of the deep blue-skinned fish-men was shocked and said in horror, "That's... the Four Emperors, the Red Hair Pirates' flag! Something big has happened, quickly report to His Majesty the King!"
"It seems they've already discovered us." Vladimir's ears twitched slightly, and he actually sensed this unusual sound from afar.
"Be careful. The fish-men living in Fish-Man Island are not very friendly to humans." A middle-aged man smoking a cigarette grinned.
This person was named Benn Beckman, one of the members of the Red Hair Pirates, and his bounty was even higher than Shadow Fiend's.
"However, they should welcome us." The fat pirate laughed, "The boss has been here before, and he knows the king here."
While a group of people were talking and laughing, the ship had entered the circular passage.
The Fish-Man Island Immigration Bureau didn't dare to make things difficult for the Red Hair Pirates and allowed them to log in.
Soon, a group of people were once again on solid ground, officially stepping onto the land of Fish-Man Island.
However, at the pier where the ship was docked, Vladimir saw Navy warships.
"Why is the Navy in this kind of place?" Vladimir couldn't help but ask.
"It's probably about the Shichibukai." Red Hair replied in a deep voice, "In order to fight against the pirates of the New World, the Navy needs the power of the Shichibukai. According to the information I received, there are currently only 4 people, and there are still 3 positions vacant. They came here, most likely to win over someone."
"I see."
