"Kemi? Didn't you say that you were locked up by your family?" Zhang Daye asked.
"Yes, but Boss Jinbei returned to Fishman Island today! Many people can go home and no longer have to be pirates. Everyone is celebrating! I took the opportunity to run out."
Not all members of the Sun Pirates voluntarily became pirates. A considerable number of them were branded with the "Hoof of the Sky Dragon" symbolizing slaves and had to be covered with new sun-shaped brands. They were forced to become pirates. Only pirates have a home and cannot return.
After Jinbei became a Shichibukai, many former slaves were able to go home openly without being hunted down. For them, Jinbei definitely deserves the title of "Hai Xia".
In addition, the title of Shichibukai can indeed deter many pirates, which is indeed a good thing for the ordinary residents of Fishman Island.
So it’s normal for many people to celebrate this.
"So why didn't you participate in the celebration and had to sneak out to play?" Zhang Da also raised his forehead, looking like a naughty kid.
Kemi replied: "Because it's more fun outside. The celebrations on Fishman Island are always the same."
It felt like even if she refused, she would run out and play by herself. Zhang Da said helplessly: "Okay, okay, then please pay attention to safety on the road and go to the bay last time. Do you remember the road?"
Kemi said confidently: "No problem, even if I get lost, I can still ask the fish!"
Kemi is a kissing fish mermaid. She can summon schools of kissing fish and let them guide her, or execute some simple commands. This is a very convenient ability in the sea.
Jinbe has also demonstrated this ability. As a whale shark man, he can summon a swarm of whale sharks, which is very useful whether it is to save people or serve as a small boat.
Zhang Da also felt that the ability of mermaids and fishmen was a bit like a weakened version of Poseidon's ability, one of the ancient weapons.
Mermaid Princess Shirahoshi, as the "King of the Sea", can summon Neptunes, while ordinary mermaids or fishmen can summon their corresponding fish.
If there are many types of mermaids gathered together, this ability may have unexpected effects.
After hanging up the phone, Zhang Daye said: "Then let's rest for a while. With Kemi's speed, it won't take long to arrive."
"I'm going to see how Tom's harvest is." Artoria walked quickly to Tom, squatted down and looked at the bucket next to her.
There were several palm-sized fish in the bucket. Arturia curiously stretched out her fingers to poke the water. The fish in the water immediately ran around in panic as if they saw a lion.
As was customary, the fish would become a snack for her and Tom before heading back.
Zhang Daye and Rui Mengmeng would only come to replenish their physical strength when they were exhausted. If it was not enough, Zhang Daye also brought a large refrigerator with him.
Because he had drawn the Tohsaka family's wardrobe a few days ago, Zhang Da also had no shortage of boxes to store money for the time being, and Tom's large refrigerator could finally continue to do its job of storing food.
This wardrobe probably comes from the Fifth Holy Grail War. It is full of Tohsaka Rin's clothes, and the size seems to be the same as Artoria's.
So apart from the cabinet, Zhang Da also kept nothing, and left all kinds of clothes to her, all kinds of clothes.
Rui Mengmeng came back after helping to collect some firewood and watched Tom light a pile of wood with a match. The fire did not even take a second to grow from small to large, and then remained at the optimum level for grilling fish.
This fire-making skill is not something that ordinary people can learn, but she is used to it and starts to worry about other things: "Is it really okay for Kemi to be alone? She was eaten by sea beasts last time, so I am a little worried about her."
Zhang Da also said: "As long as she is not dazed in the deep sea, she will be fine. She was probably swallowed because she was distracted by looking at the Ferris wheel."
"It feels quite pitiful. My dream is to ride the Ferris wheel once." Rui Mengmeng sympathized with Kemi. Although she had never done it before, it was because she was reluctant rather than unable to go.
"Maybe we can take her there once, just to make a little disguise." Zhang Da also thinks it's not a big problem. He is not as unreliable as Luffy. A group of people went shopping and left Kemi alone. Gave human traffickers a chance.
Besides, Tom's camouflage skills are so strong, he can even cross species and pretend to be an eagle as a woman.
I just don’t know who laid those eggs that Tom hatched while knitting at the end of that episode?
Zhang Da also stared at Tom. Although he was a male cat, if Tom laid eggs one day, it would not be completely unacceptable?
Tom shuddered, and the hair behind him exploded from the top of his head to the tip of his tail. When he turned around, he saw Zhang Daye's inquiring eyes.
Tom blinked and handed a grilled fish to Zhang Daye.
"Thank you?" Zhang Da also took the small fish and started to chew on it. There wasn't much meat but it was quite fragrant.
While turning his head to spit out fish bones, Zhang Da accidentally saw a small hand quietly reaching into Tom's fishing tool box.
"...Artoria." Zhang Daye reminded, "That's fishing bait."
Arturia held a small piece of bait and replied absently: "Oh."
Zhang Da also stared at her: "Although the bait made by Tom is also very fragrant, can we eat some normal food? How about I give this fish to you."
"Gene Era"
Arturia blushed a little and put the bait back reluctantly: "I wonder if Kemi will like the taste of the bait."
"???" Zhang Da was also shocked. What kind of devilish idea do you have? He just said, "Hey, I thought of it together! Let's ask later."
Rui Mengmeng worked hard to reduce her sense of presence and never made her boss and Artoria unhappy in the future, otherwise she would be scolded.
Tom didn't get much today, and he finished it in a short time.
Zhang Da also calculated the time: "Why hasn't it taken so long? Isn't it really eaten by a sea beast again? I'll give it a try."
"No, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no!"
There was a strange sound that they had never heard before, and everyone else looked at the phone bug strangely.
Zhang Da also changed his expression and tried to dial the number again, but...he couldn't dial it out.
In other words, the sound of dialing the number for the first time was not the sound of hanging up after the call was connected, but the sound of Kemi's phone bug being found and killed after it started ringing.
Artoria asked: "Did something happen to Kemi?"
"It should be, and there is a high probability that he was caught by human traffickers." Zhang Da also frowned, "This shouldn't be the case."
Kemi himself definitely didn't dare to go ashore. Could it be that he was caught by chance as soon as he appeared on the surface of the sea?
Jinbei had just become the Shichibukai, and someone was trying to catch a mermaid. Isn't it too disrespectful?
