One Piece: At the start, defeat Momonosuke and take Yamato to sea.

Chapter 58 Destroying the Red Earth Continent?

"Captain Luo Ji, this guy's assassination attempt only represents himself. Please don't vent your anger on the innocent people of Fishman Island."

Shirley quickly distanced herself from the fishman's assassination attempt, not wanting him to implicate the entire Fishman Island.

"is it?"

Luo Ji simply responded calmly, slowly waking up Violet, Baby5, Xiaoyu, and the five little people.

This guy's tolerance for Conqueror's Haki is a bit low.

Or perhaps his powerful self-defense burst was so strong that even Baby5, a veteran who had witnessed too much of Flamingo's Conqueror's Haki, lost consciousness.

"Our King Neptune has sent healers to treat you and is now fighting against the rioting people."

"We, Fishman Island, truly have no intention of offending someone as powerful as you."

Shirley quickly continued to explain that now that she had lost the divination orb, she could no longer predict the future of Fishman Island.

But the last time I saw Luo Ji, he was incredibly powerful.

Fishman Island absolutely cannot afford to offend this human.

"Your mental power is very active; are you born with Observation Haki?"

Just as Luo Ji was about to say something, he suddenly 'heard' a very special power fluctuation emanating from Xia Li.

This piqued his curiosity.

Could this mermaid be like Queen Otohime, a mermaid born with a special kind of Observation Haki?

Otherwise, how could she be the only one who could use the divination orb?

“I don’t know what you’re talking about. I do have a special power that can trigger the Divination Orb.”

Shirley didn't know how to answer. She didn't understand what innate Observation Haki was. She only knew that she would instinctively use this power when using the Divination Orb.

"Tsk tsk, it's a bit of a waste of this talent."

Luo Ji sighed with a hint of regret. His innate Observation Haki was useless if it wasn't paired with powerful strength.

To be honest, Luo Ji felt that both Queen Otohime and Shirley had wasted their innate talent for Observation Haki.

Queen Otohime possesses innate Observation Haki, allowing her to truly sense other people's emotions and even influence their will.

Therefore, she was able to gain the love and respect of many subjects, and even changed the will and personality of a fallen Celestial Dragon.

If she had the speaking skills of that guy with the mustache in the beer hall, she could raise an imperial army in no time.

If you add a lot of skill to that, it would be even more perfect.

He wouldn't be killed by Hody Jones with a single shot.

Red Earl Redfield's innate Observation Haki, combined with his formidable strength, makes him a legendary pirate feared even by the Marines.

Red Earl's innate Observation Haki allows him to read minds and see what others are thinking.

Shirley's innate Observation Haki is clearly very compatible with the ability to foresee the future. If she trains more, she might be able to surpass Katakuri, a master of Observation Haki.

However, Queen Otohime was preoccupied with the peace between Fishman Island and humans and had no interest in training. In addition, her physical condition was poor, so she could not become a strong person.

Shirley also relies heavily on the divination orb, neglecting her Observation Haki talent, and now she can only work as a coffee shop owner.

It's important to know that the mermaids' ability to control water is even stronger than that of the fish-men.

King Neptune had the title of "Great Knight of the Sea," and his mermaid contortionist skills and ability to control ocean currents were incredibly powerful.

It even surpasses Jinbe's Fishman Jujutsu.

If Shirley learns Mermaid Jutsu and also develops Observation Haki that allows her to foresee the future, wouldn't she be an underwater cannon?

These mermaids always place their hopes on others; they can't even put in their own effort!

In Luo Ji's eyes, the reason why the merfolk on Fishman Island didn't have many experts was because they lived too comfortably.

On Fishman Island, the status of the mermaids is significantly higher than that of the fishmen.

Merfolk primarily reside in the upper and middle levels where sunlight is abundant, while fish-men mostly live in the darker lower and middle levels.

The harsh environment of Fishman Street has given rise to many villains, but it has also produced many powerful individuals.

Fishman powerhouses like Tiger and Jinbe all hail from Fishman Street.

Even Jack the Drought of the Beasts Pirates and Namur, the eighth division commander of the Whitebeard Pirates, came from Fishman Street.

···

Seeing Luo Ji's regretful expression, Xia Li thought that Luo Ji had taken a liking to her special ability.

"As long as you don't hold Fishman Island accountable, I can join you. From now on, I will obey any of your orders and serve you."

Shirley's mind was in turmoil, but she finally gritted her teeth and said...

Now her divination orb is broken, and she has lost an important ability.

She wanted to witness Luo Ji's growth, which was capable of destroying the Red Line, and also to calm Luo Ji's anger and protect Fishman Island.

Perhaps it can even help find a new and powerful protector for Fishman Island.

After all, Shirley already knew that Whitebeard would perish in two years.

"I will still take revenge, but I won't be so cruel as to destroy Fishman Island. Maybe I can even help you eliminate a few scum in the process."

"But if you want to join us, aren't you a bit too weak?"

Luo Ji glanced at the mermaid. This woman was a year older than Yamato, but her strength was hundreds or thousands of times greater.

Even if Shirley possesses the talent of Observation Haki, it doesn't necessarily mean she can grow stronger.

"You destroyed my divination pearl, shouldn't you compensate me?"

"Let me aboard. I want to see how you've grown to that level."

Hearing that Luo Ji wouldn't implicate Fishman Island, Xia Li instantly breathed a sigh of relief, but having already spoken, she wouldn't give up.

She had to board Luo Ji's ship to see how he would destroy the Red Earth Continent.

This kind of person will be even stronger than Whitebeard in the future, and will definitely be able to better protect Fishman Island.

What exactly did you see on the divination orb?

Seeing this mature and beautiful mermaid reveal a hint of roguishness piqued Luo Ji's interest.

Can't this foreseen future be changed?

"I saw you destroy the Red Line! You were incredibly powerful! Like a true god!"

Shirley stared intently at the young human; no one had expected this man to have grown to that extent.

"What?! Luo Ji will destroy the Red Earth Continent?! That's so cool!"

Yamato's eyes lit up, and he shouted with delight. This prophecy was a thousand times cooler than the prophecy of the founding of Wano Country.

Kozuki Oden left a prophecy in his nautical log: that twenty years later, a liberator would defeat Kaido of the Beasts and open the country of Wano.

But compared to Shirley's premonition, this prophecy is simply too weak.

Can Luo Ji really grow into a god who can destroy the Red Earth?

In that case, Luo Ji would definitely surpass Pirate King Roger and become the most famous person in the world.

Yamato couldn't wait to pull out her nautical log and write this prophecy into her record.

Baby5, Rebecca, Xiaoyu... they all looked at Luo Ji with admiration.

It turns out their captain really is that fierce.

Even Violet covered her mouth.

Defeating the Celestial Dragons was shocking enough, but to think they could even destroy the Red Line?!

"Destroy the Red Line? That's certainly something worth trying..."

Luo Ji looked up, stroked his chin, and began to imagine that he might actually do such a thing in the future.

After all, he didn't know how strong he would become in the future.

If Luo Ji had the power to destroy the Red Earth Continent and open up the four seas, he would definitely launch a salvo at it.

After all, the stories of Yu the Great controlling the floods, the Foolish Old Man moving mountains, and the digging of canals... these are the romances etched into the very bones of the Chinese people.

The Red Earth Continent is indeed too much of an eyesore, blocking Luo Ji's steps to unify the world and establish a unified dynasty.

Erase it, it must be erased!
