Chapter 267: A Deadly Trap of Tenderness! The Jealous Miss Navigator
The sudden turn of events sent Chopper into a tearful panic.
The furry little reindeer, carrying a heavy medical kit, scampered frantically across the beach on his short legs, screaming in terror:
"Oh no! Sanji has lost too much blood and is dying! Hurry, give him a blood transfusion!"
Meanwhile, Zoro sat on a protruding reef with his arms crossed.
He looked at his companion lying in a pool of blood with a speechless expression and mercilessly remarked:
"What a hopeless, perverted idiot of a cook. He just arrived in the New World and is already dying for such a ridiculous reason."
The entire beautiful, tranquil bay was instantly thrown into chaos by this comical and messy scene.
Compared to the chef on the verge of death, Luffy, as the Captain, completely ignored the mayhem over there.
He looked at the novel and magnificent deep-sea environment around him, his eyes lighting up instantly.
"Wow! What an amazing place!"
Luffy's eyes gleamed as he leaped, jumping with a "splash" into the crystal-clear seawater.
He excitedly started a breath-holding game with a few giant deep-sea turtles swimming slowly past.
It looked like he was genuinely holding his breath underwater, but in reality, as a Devil Fruit user, Luffy's strength was instantly drained the moment he touched the seawater.
Blowing bubbles, he was already rolling his eyes, on the verge of drowning.
Tatsuya, standing on the shore, watched this bunch of goofballs, his mouth twitching uncontrollably.
He walked forward helplessly, grabbed Luffy by the back of his collar, and pulled the powerless Captain out of the water like a radish, tossing him onto the beach.
"Luffy, are you an idiot?" Tatsuya retorted irritably.
Once out of the water, Luffy instantly spat out the water in his stomach and revived completely.
He leaped up, brushed the sand off his body, and laughed heartlessly:
"Ah! I'm alive! Thanks, Tatsuya!"
Afterward, Tatsuya put this troublesome Captain out of his mind.
He turned around, his deep gaze beginning to silently appreciate the beautiful mermaids swimming around.
Well, this was just pure curiosity from a normal adult male about the legendary, beautiful, and miraculous species of mermaids... Absolutely nothing else meant by it.
However, Tatsuya's tall, upright physique, cold and handsome face, and the unique, mysterious aura about him...
He instantly caused a sensation among the mermaids, attracting the gazes of a large group of them nearby.
With blushing cheeks, they swished their beautiful tails and gathered around, surrounding Tatsuya with chirping voices, curiously asking about the origins of this handsome human.
Seeing Tatsuya surrounded by a group of charming mermaids,
Nami, who had been admiring the beautiful deep-sea scenery not far away, saw her face turn black as a pot instantly.
A large vein uncontrollably bulged on her smooth forehead, and she clenched her hands into tight fists.
Robin, standing nearby, still maintained her dignified posture, a seemingly gentle smile hanging on the corners of her lips.
But a creepy, low-pressure black aura had already begun to uncontrollably emanate from her surroundings.
"That bastard who goes around attracting bees and butterflies..."
Nami walked over with gritted teeth, pushing through the crowd aggressively.
She grabbed Tatsuya's black tie, like a little kitten protecting its food, and shouted at the surrounding mermaids to declare her sovereignty:
"All of you, move aside!"
"He is already a married man, and he has five children!"
"You are forbidden from hitting on him!"
After dropping this shocking declaration, Nami didn't give Tatsuya any chance to explain.
Amidst the astonished gazes of the group of mermaids, she forcibly dragged him out of the pile of beauties by his tie.
Just as everyone was laughing and playing,
A mermaid with fresh, light green short hair and a starfish wearing star-shaped sunglasses noticed the commotion and swam over quickly with the current out of curiosity.
The arrivals were none other than Camie, who had formed a deep friendship with the Straw Hat crew on Sabaody Archipelago two years ago, and her master and pet, Pappag.
When Camie saw the figures on the beach clearly, especially the tall, familiar black figure in the crowd,
her eyes turned red, and tears welled up instantly.
"Tatsuya!"
Camie shouted excitedly, pounced forward, and hugged Tatsuya tightly without any hesitation.
She sobbed uncontrollably, sincerely and passionately thanking Tatsuya for saving her life two years ago at the human auction house, rescuing her from the Celestial Dragons.
Facing this sudden hug, Tatsuya was taken aback for a moment.
Then his gaze softened, and he gentlemanly reached out to gently pat Camie's trembling back to comfort her.
However, this scene, falling into the eyes of Miss Navigator nearby, was like adding fuel to the fire.
Nami watched the two holding each other tightly, silently biting her rosy lips.
After staring for two seconds with those beautiful big eyes, the jealousy in her heart could finally no longer be suppressed.
She squeezed between the two and forcibly pulled Camie away from Tatsuya's embrace.
Nami had a dry, insincere smile on her face, and said in a stiff tone:
"Ahaha, that's enough, that's enough. The sentiment has been conveyed, no need to hug so tightly."
Under Nami's murderous surveillance, this awkward reunion finally came to an end.
Afterward, everyone found a spacious reef to sit on and began to exchange information and catch up.
Camie's expression became somewhat grave.
She lowered her voice and told everyone that Hody, the leader of the New Fish-Man Pirates who used hatred of humans as his dogma, had been secretly plotting some terrible conspiracy in Fish-Man District recently.
The entire Fish-Man Island appeared calm on the surface, but in reality, undercurrents were surging.
Even worse, influenced by these extremists, the malice the Fishmen held toward humans had been greatly deepened.
However, before everyone could finish catching up,
A synchronized sound of water breaking suddenly came from the water surface on the outskirts of the bay.
The Ryugu Palace's Neptune Army, riding seahorses and fully armed, arrived rapidly and blocked the entire exit of the bay.
The leading Neptune Army officer held a spear and announced loudly to all the mermaids in a booming voice:
Several dangerous human pirates have entered illegally. For the safety of Fish-Man Island, we are ordered to search every corner of the bay immediately.
Hearing this, the kind and simple mermaids immediately acted in tacit understanding.
They scrambled to quickly hide Luffy, Usopp, Chopper, and the others behind giant reefs.
Or simply used their own wide fish tails and bodies to block them.
As for Sanji, who was still unconscious just a moment ago, two incredibly curvaceous mermaid ladies, out of good intentions,
pressed him directly between their heaving bosoms, one on each side, hiding him completely.
Just as the Neptune Army soldiers were questioning the mermaids one by one about whether they had seen any suspicious humans,
Sanji, who had been buried deep in a trap of tenderness and had almost died of suffocation, miraculously woke up slowly.
When he opened his eyes groggily and his brain started to function again,
and he clearly realized what incredible things his cheeks were currently pressed against,
the expression on his face, in less than half a second, instantly sublimated into a kind of ultimate happiness that transcended the mundane world.
"Bang!!!"
Accompanied by an earth-shattering explosion, a terrifying column of nosebleed, even more violent than the last time, erupted like an underwater volcanic eruption.
Poor Sanji was like a human fountain.
The terrifying impact sent the two curvaceous mermaids who had kindly hidden him flying away, screaming.
This huge, earth-shattering commotion, like an explosion, instantly attracted the attention of everyone present.
The defensive formation was completely disrupted, and the faces of the Straw Hat crew, clearly printed on their bounty posters, were exposed without reservation to the sight of the Neptune Army.
"Illegal human pirates discovered! All troops, be on guard!"
The leading officer shouted immediately, and all the Neptune Army soldiers raised their tridents, which were gleaming with cold light, in unison.
They surrounded them as if facing a major enemy, preparing to arrest this group of dangerous individuals on the spot.
Facing the aggressive Neptune Army, Luffy pressed down on his Straw Hat, and Zoro's hand was already on the hilt of his sword; the two were just about to break out.
Suddenly, an incredible scene occurred.
All the Neptune Army soldiers who were preparing to charge froze in place at the exact same moment.
The next second, it was as if all the strength in their bodies had been instantly drained, and they all rolled their eyes.
They couldn't even hold their weapons, and a series of "clanging" sounds echoed.
Immediately afterward, these elite soldiers collapsed one after another onto the sandy beach, their chests rising and falling steadily, and they actually began to snore evenly and long.
With a soft "splash."
Tatsuya broke free, looking slightly disheveled, from the overly enthusiastic and wide embrace of a beautiful mermaid lady.
He lowered his head slightly, and in his left eye socket, that scarlet, eerie Mangekyo Sharingan was slowly fading its soul-captivating light.
Looking at the extremely nervous mermaids around, as well as his confused companions,
Tatsuya gave a light cough, attempting to ease the awkward atmosphere:
"Ahem..."
"Don't worry about their safety; I just put them to sleep."
Looking at the Neptune Army soldiers lying unconscious on the ground, Camie and Pappag, who had finally reacted from their shock, instantly broke out in a cold sweat.
Pappag, wearing those star-shaped sunglasses, began to scream in terror:
"We're in big trouble now!"
"Attacking the Neptune Army on Fish-Man Island is a serious crime!"
"Everyone, don't just stand there! Follow me quickly and let's go hide in a safe place first!"
Since things had come to this, the Straw Hat crew had no other choice.
Zoro and Franky hurriedly carried Sanji, who was still continuing to spray nosebleed,
and the group followed the anxious Camie and Pappag, stepping through the shallow water of the beach, fleeing all the way toward the deep, complex terrain of the Mermaid Cove.
