Ankaido, the ancestor of pirates

"Huh...huh..."

"Hang on! Fisher Tiger! Don't you want to be the greatest adventurer in the world? What's the point of being great if you fail here?"

The snapper fisherman Fisher Tiger with a blood-red body had used up all the strength in his body at this moment. He was stuck halfway through the second challenge to the dragon gate.

"I want to go up!"

Fisher Tiger gritted his teeth and used his last bit of strength to climb up.

And behind him was the burning feeling on his back from the midday sun.

"hateful……"

Fisher Tiger was angry, he cursed angrily, he cursed that his body was too cowardly, and it was already dead after climbing it for the second time.

If he aimed at Santa Maria delle Gragio, the highest point on the Red Earth Continent, this would be far from it! He had to climb up!

"I will be a legend..."

Fisher Tiger hinted to himself over and over again, climbing up again and again, and then found a relatively wide gap to regain his strength, and then continued climbing up.

The sun silently watched the struggle of the hard-working people in the high sky. He looked at the hard-working people's bodies soaked with sweat. He looked at the hard-working people gritting their teeth and persisting until the end.

In the end, even the eternal sun became a little tired of looking at it, lost interest, and no longer wanted to watch. The great sun left quietly, and darkness enveloped the earth. The moon took over the work of the sun and continued to watch at Longmen.

On the hard worker who keeps striving.

The night seemed to have lost its only warmth after losing the sun sitting high in the sky, and the cold wind blew away the last trace of warmth in Fisher Tiger's body.

It will feel hot at noon and cold at night.

"Aqiu..."

Even with the strong physique of the fishmen, Fisher Tiger couldn't hold on any longer. He felt that his brain was swollen and he had a headache.

"What's wrong with me?"

Fisher Tiger, who had caught a cold for the first time since he was a child, expressed doubts. He was a little strange about his current state. His body felt light, but his head was a little heavy.

"Did I unlock some potential in our fish-men's bodies?"

Fisher Tiger attributed his current strange feeling to the fact that as a fishman, he once again broke through the limits of his body and gained powerful strength.

"I, Fisher Tiger, will definitely succeed! Come on! The way to overcome difficulties is to break through the limits! Ah!!!"

Fisher Tiger's howl pierced the night sky and spread like lightning. Then Fisher Tiger, who squeezed out his last bit of strength, launched an attack towards the highest point of the dam.

…

The sun rises in the east... When the first ray of light shines on the highest point of the dam, a red palm stretches out...

"I, Fisher Tiger, made it!"

"ah!!!"

Fisher Tiger stepped on the highest point of the dam, and he roared! He was proud! However, he only completed it twice... and one time was not completed.

"Plop..."

Then Fisher Tiger, who tried his best, lay down on the dam, and finally fell asleep. He was finally defeated by the cold wind...

…

"Forehead……"

"Head hurts?!"

"It's you! Yuriko and Reiko."

Fisher Tiger opened his eyes and found that he was back in the room again. The first thing that caught his eye were still the two muscular men.

"You failed the challenge~ Mr. Fisher Tiger~ It seems that the legendary fish-human adventurer is not that good~"

Yuriko pretended to be shy, covering her mouth with her thick palms, and mocking Fisher Tiger in a low voice.

"I haven't become a legend yet, I'm just on the way to becoming a legend."

Fisher Tiger ignored Yuriko's taunts. Failure was failure. The worst he could do was start over from scratch. As long as he didn't die, he could still become stronger.

"Hehehe... What a boring man."

"Don't try to climb the dragon gate next time. With your current level, you won't succeed even if you try it a hundred times again!"

Yuriko smiled lightly, and then spoke to Fisher Tiger in a commanding manner.

"If I don't go over the dragon gate, what will I do?"

After Fisher Tiger challenged Longmen, his whole person changed a lot and became much calmer than before. Once he has seen the highest point, he will not have any thoughts in his heart about the words of some people who cannot see the mountainside.

waves.

"His Majesty Kaido has prepared a course to strengthen your physical strength for you!"

"Please come with me after you finish your meal!"

Yuriko placed the prepared things in front of Fisher Tiger who was lying on the bed, and then looked at Fisher Tiger with a look of pity.

“No snapper today?”

Fisher Tiger checked the food in front of him. Six roast chickens, two 500g steaks, a handful of bananas, three apples and five eggs. The drink was three liters of milk. These were all very normal foods.

"Eat it! This may be your last meal."

Yuriko smiled softly at Fisher Tiger, mumbled a word casually and then said no more.

"Last meal?"

"hehe……"

Fisher Tiger listened to Yuriko's words and smiled softly. How could this be his last meal? He still had to climb to the highest point of the Red Earth Continent to complete the greatest adventure of his life.

"Click! Click!"

Fisher Tiger ate quickly and enjoyed it very much. He cleared all the food in front of him in less than half an hour.

"Huh~"

"It's time to start."

Fisher Tiger stood up from the boat and said to Yuriko and Reiko.

"Don't you need to take a break? After all, it's really not good to exercise right after eating!"

Yuriko asked Fisher Tiger suspiciously.

"No need, our fish-men have different physiological structures from you humans, because we need to keep swimming in the water, so even if we have just eaten, it will not have much impact on our movements."

Fisher Tiger moved his body as he spoke. He needed to speed up his warm-up exercises to prepare for the next battle.

"Then since you don't need to rest, then come with me!"

Yuriko nodded slightly to Fisher Tiger, then walked straight out the door, leading the way for Fisher Tiger.

"Pap...pap..."

Following the sound of footsteps, everyone finally stopped in front of a huge door.

"This is the training ground... Now you have to go in alone."

Yuriko pointed to the huge door in front of her and whispered to Fisher Tiger behind her.

"Yeah! I understand."

Fisher Tiger nodded slightly to Yuriko, and then pushed open the door in front of him.

"Don't die!"

Fisher Tiger vaguely seemed to hear someone whispering in his ear.

"Hey! Snapper! Are you ready to escape?"

But at this time, Fisher Tiger had no time to think, because a thin samurai in the room with two swords in his hand was already ready to use his sword.

"md! I'm going to die!"

This was Fisher Tiger's first reaction after seeing the man inside.
