Chat Group For The Dead : Start From One Piece

Lucas smirked as he spoke in the Chat Group for The Dead. "Do you guys know The Mermaid Princess?"

Whitebeard: "Gurarara! The Mermaid Princess? Of course, I know! Neptune, the King of Fishman Island, is my old friend. He has a daughter, Shirahoshi, who is said to be the most beautiful woman in the world."

Golden Lion Shiki: "Damn it! After all this, you saved Fishman Island for a woman? Beauty leads to disaster! Besides, she's a mermaid. Do you even realize that mermaids have tails instead of legs?"

Fisher Tiger: "Uh… Actually, mermaids can grow legs once they reach 30 years old. But… Shirahoshi is gigantic. There's no way she'd grow human-sized legs."

Pirate King Roger: "Wait, her size is comparable to Whitebeard's? That's unfortunate. An ordinary human wouldn't stand a chance."

Lucas: "Haha! You guys are so naive. Roger, why don't you tell them?"

Pirate King Roger: "Huh? Tell them what?"

Lucas: "Don't play dumb! You've read the Poneglyph on Sky Island—you know the truth."

Pirate King Roger: "Hiss… Damn it, Lucas! You're really going to spill this?"

Golden Lion Shiki: "What? What? What are you talking about?"

Lucas: "Fine, since Roger doesn't want to explain, I will! Have you all heard of the Ancient Weapons?"

Golden Lion Shiki: "Of course! The three legendary weapons said to have the power to destroy the world. I spent years searching for them. I even asked Roger for help, but the bastard refused me! Wait…"

Connecting the dots, Shiki suddenly realized something.

Golden Lion Shiki: "Roger read the Poneglyphs on Sky Island… so he knows a secret about Fishman Island? And that secret is related to an Ancient Weapon?!"

Lucas: "Bingo. The Mermaid Princess is Poseidon, one of the three Ancient Weapons. She has the power to command the Sea Kings."

Golden Lion Shiki: "WHAT?! Damn it! If I had known that back then, I would've seized Fishman Island myself! The Mermaid Princess is an Ancient Weapon?! This is insane!"

Whitebeard: "Something doesn't add up. If the Mermaid Princess was really an Ancient Weapon, then why has Fishman Island suffered for so long? That island has existed for over 800 years—surely there have been multiple mermaid princesses during that time."

Pirate King Roger: "It's not what you think. Poseidon is a power—the ability to command Sea Kings. It manifests in a mermaid princess, but not every mermaid princess is Poseidon."

Lucas: "Exactly. The last known Poseidon existed 800 years ago. There's no fixed pattern for its emergence. Shirahoshi just happens to be the current one."

Golden Lion Shiki: "Huh… this 'weapon' seems a little unreliable. So, Lucas, what's your plan?"

Lucas: "I don't care about controlling the Sea Kings. My main concern is making sure no one else uses Poseidon against me."

Golden Lion Shiki: "Agreed! Even if you don't want to wield that kind of power, you have to prevent it from falling into the wrong hands."

As Lucas conversed with the spirit, his coated ship finally reached Fishman Island.

King Neptune and Sea Knight Jinbe had received word of his arrival and personally welcomed him with a grand reception.

At the banquet, Lucas wasted no time getting to the point. "Fisher Tiger asked me to help move Fishman Island to the surface. You can prepare for it if you want, but the choice is yours."

Neptune's eyes widened in surprise. "Moving Fishman Island to the surface? That would be wonderful!"

For centuries, Fishman Island had longed to leave the cold, dark depths of the ocean. However, they had been forced to stay hidden, fearing the cruelty of humans who saw Fishmen and Merfolk as little more than slaves.

Neptune hesitated before cautiously adding, "With the Whitebeard Pirates and you as allies, perhaps Fishman Island can finally be free from oppression."

After discussing Fishman Island's future, Jinbe spoke up. "Lucas, you mentioned Fisher Tiger… Have you really spoken with him?"

Lucas grinned. "Yes. He wanted me to tell you—you did well."

Jinbe's eyes filled with emotion. He lowered his head in shame. "I don't deserve such words. I failed to protect Fishman Island… and I let that fool, Arlong, run wild…"

Jinbe briefly recounted the events of the past decade. Meanwhile, the chat group erupted in laughter.

Golden Lion Shiki: "Shihahaha! Who the hell is this Arlong? He sounds ridiculous. A fishman dreaming of an empire? Didn't he came from the New World?! What kind of idiot would come up with something so dumb?"

Pirate King Roger: "It's one thing to dream—but the real issue is when someone actually acts on that dream."

Lucas: "Don't be fooled! Arlong's so-called 'Fishman Empire' is nothing but a joke. Do you know what he's actually been doing for over ten years?"

Golden Lion Shiki: "What?"

Lucas: "He's occupied a few dozen villages… and his main business is collecting protection fees. That's it. He's basically a small-time mafia boss."

Fisher Tiger: "…"

At that moment, Fisher Tiger went completely silent.

It was so embarrassing.

His former little brother—someone he once took under his wing—had spent over a decade playing gangster in the weakest sea in the world.

How humiliating.

He wanted to crawl into a hole and disappear.
