I have the Flame-Flame Fruit, I'm invincible!

A day later, the Victory set sail again.

"Coo-coo," the white newsbird landed, extending its claws, which were tied with newspapers, and then stretching out the purse around its neck.

Dick watched with amusement.

He thought of an owl, or rather, a round-faced, chubby Scottish chicken.

I don't even know what it tastes like.

“I’d like a newspaper. As for the price,” Dick said, holding money in one hand and jerky in the other.

"choose one."

The newsbird looked left and right, and suddenly felt that the humans in front of it were extremely despicable.

Can't you be a little more generous?

Give me the money, and give me the dried meat too.

“NONONO, you can only choose one,” Dick teased.

He felt like he understood how Shanks teased Luffy.

Especially seeing the news bird looking so conflicted.

That feeling was just... hey...

Dick took out the jerky again.

If one piece of jerky isn't enough, then two or three pieces will do.

The newsbird's gaze drifted further and further away, and drool unknowingly began to drip from its mouth.

I almost forgot my job.

Suddenly, the newsbird chirped loudly.

He stretched out his neck and pointed at the jerky.

Dick was stunned for a while before he understood what Newsbird meant.

"You mean, give me a discount and I'll give you the jerky?"

The news bird nodded.

Dick laughed.

This news reporter is truly a genius.

However, negotiating the price doesn't seem so difficult after all.

A single piece of jerky can reduce your peso by 10 peso.

Or is Nami just too stingy?

Dick flipped through the news.

Although Morgans often talks big and much of his content is wild speculation, and there are slight discrepancies between the news and the facts, he does have one redeeming quality.

They dare to report anything. That's what makes them much better than other newspapers.

It can also be considered a channel for understanding major world events.

"Let me see."

The front page headline was about Fisher Tiger, the sea monster who once wreaked havoc in the Holy Land of Mary Geoise and loved to eat children's hearts, being killed by the Navy.

Rear Admiral Storoberry is brave, resourceful, and courageous. He has defeated Fisher Tiger and Jinbe, and is a rising star in the navy. He will surely become a naval admiral in the future...

"Is he already dead?" Dick sighed.

In the world of One Piece, there are many heroes. But if we're talking about those whom Dick truly admires, it's not Zephyr, not Shanks, not Garp, not Dragon, and not Whitebeard.

It's Fisher Tiger, a mediocre murloc in comparison.

"What a pity, the world has lost a true hero," Dick sighed. He took a bottle of wine from the warehouse.

Throw it directly into the sea.

"Farewell, Tiger. It's a pity I can't befriend you."

……

Let's go back to three days ago, to an island in the South China Sea.

The Sun Pirates held a grand funeral for Fisher Tiger, erecting a tomb on a deserted island. From this day forward, the Sun Pirates will enter the post-Tiger era.

However, an inappropriate figure appeared inside.

"From now on, it's up to you. Protect Fishman Island." Tiger's gaze was complicated.

After narrowly escaping death, Tiger realized that if he continued to follow him, none of the fish-men in the Sun Pirates could escape.

The World Government's lackeys will never let me go.

If a rear admiral can put himself in such a desperate situation, what about a vice admiral or an admiral?

Therefore, Tiger decided to fake his death and go solo, leaving the Sun Pirates.

"Brother Tai, faking your death can't fool the World Government, so let me go with you..." Jinbe hesitated, then stopped.

"Don't joke around. You are all the future of Fishman Island. If you follow me, who will protect Fishman Island?" Tiger sternly refused.

“Now, I issue my final order: everyone return to Fishman Island to protect its safety. And,” Tiger paused, “if you hear news of my arrest or execution, no one is to come to my aid.”

After a moment of silence, everyone nodded silently.

"Kera, thank you for giving me hope for humanity."

Fisher-Tegger then departed to begin a new journey.

One thing is certain: Fisher-Tegger will definitely not go into seclusion.

Beside him, the jagged-faced Aaron silently watched his elder brother disappear, then glanced at Kella expressionlessly.

He turned and left with a series of quick, rhythmic steps.

"Thanks."

The sound was ethereal and faint; it was almost inaudible unless you listened very carefully.

Koala was taken aback, rubbed his ears, and then immediately ran to Jinbe's side.

"Uncle Jinbe, did Uncle Arlong say something just now?" Koala asked, her eyes sparkling as she looked at Jinbe expectantly.

Jinbe smiled and patted Koala's little head.

"That's just how he is, I heard him say it. It's a good start, I guess."

Arlong, also known as Arlong, was a member of the Sun Pirates and the fish-man who hated humans the most within the crew.

They believe that humans are inferior beings.

This time, because Kera cured Tiger, Aaron reluctantly accepted Kera, feeling that she was somewhat different from lower humans.

Perhaps there's another point: without his imposing presence, Aaron might no longer be a match for Koala.

"Speaking of which, it's all thanks to you that Brother Tai was out of danger. You ate something extraordinary," Jinbe exclaimed.

A Natural type, and a top-tier Natural type at that, Koala's future is limitless.

Kelra scratched her head and chuckled foolishly, her wings behind her pure white and holy.

Chapter 41 Returning home in glory

Shuangyue Village, Yixin Dojo.

Koushirou knelt down and drank tea as usual, calm and composed.

This is called cultivating one's mind.

Koushirou believes that cultivating one's mind allows one to better utilize their abilities and become stronger more quickly.

Silently opening my eyes, I gently sipped my tea.

Carefully recalling the swordsmanship, the flowing cherry blossoms, and feeling every movement of my body and mind.

Koushirou has been living a very comfortable life lately.

I will take my skills to the next level and make further progress in swordsmanship.

Kuina's talent was enhanced, her weak physique disappeared, and her strength increased steadily.

Zoro was no less impressive; after his talent was enhanced, he progressed extremely quickly and was definitely one of his most outstanding disciples.

The ordinary disciples also made rapid progress in their strength.

Most importantly, Dick, who was a source of great concern, is finally gone.

Koushirou couldn't help but smile.

Kuina is safe, that's good, very good.

A faint sound came from beside my ear.
