Fishmen are indiscriminate in their consumption of both meat and vegetables, and will eat even fish of the same species without hesitation. As a result, except for a very few kind-hearted fishmen, other fishmen are unable to communicate with fish.
Mermaids share the same aesthetic sense as humans, but fish-people have their own unique aesthetic.
After all, fish-men's faces are always prone to displaying strange colors and unique structures.
Tiger and Shaq discussed it and finally chose a face shape that looked pretty good.
With the help of the machine, the positions that needed to be adjusted and moved were clearly marked. Kate only needed to draw lines at the marked positions, just like playing a rhythm game.
The potion used on Tiger was different from the animal transformation potion; it had virtually no effect when it was absorbed into his body. When Kate's plastic surgery was over, Tiger also gained a new physical life.
"The effects of the potion should be like muscle instincts for fishmen. Can you feel it now?"
Different fish species endow fishmen with different talents: shark fishmen can regenerate their teeth, blue-ringed octopus fishmen secrete venom, and anglerfish fishmen have glowing organs on their heads.
Using this small ability was as natural to them as breathing. Tiger only needed a short time to adapt before he mastered the ability to change color and adopted the same skin tone as Shaq.
With that new face, it wouldn't be easy for someone who doesn't know him to recognize him.
Moreover, Tiger felt no discomfort whatsoever; the feedback from his body told him that his body seemed to be naturally like this.
"Alright, things are basically over. You can look around the country and do whatever you want. I have other things to do, so I won't stay any longer. Remember to let me know before you leave."
"Don't worry, Brother Oran, I'm quite familiar with this place, I won't get lost."
Shaq could be considered a semi-local, so he was more than capable of showing Tiger around the area.
How are you feeling?
"It's very novel; it's the first time I've experienced crowding in a human country."
Tiger is now walking with Shaq on a commercial street, where tourists from other islands and local residents make it quite bustling.
It's not that the other islands are deserted, but rather that most islands avoid the fishmen and stay away from the "monsters."
Discrimination, fear, and other factors make them unwilling to interact with the fish-people. The people here walk around as if nothing is wrong, which makes them seem like an oddity.
"No wonder Queen Otohime called this the Land of Hope."
"There will be more places like this in the future, but you have to live to see that day. Come on, let's get something to eat. You haven't eaten much these past few days, you can't keep going like this."
Shaq took Tiger to an underwater restaurant located by the sea.
A large part of this restaurant is located underwater, and through tempered glass, one can have a direct view of the beautiful underwater scenery, and occasionally even see ships sailing by in the distance.
At this moment, a ship belonging to Feld successfully docked, carrying many people who longed for this country, as well as some people with ulterior motives, such as Monet.
After many twists and turns, she finally arrived in Piltover alive.
The journey was not safe. In order to ensure the success of his plan, Doflamingo left Monet alone after sending her onto a ship bound for Piltover, striving to leave no trace.
But Monet doesn't have Vergo's skills, and she's not a Snow-Snow Fruit user right now.
Even in the waters of Piltover, a few reckless pirates would occasionally jump out, not to mention the waters further out.
Pirates are all about lawlessness. Whether it's the banner of the Emperor of the Sea or the banner of the World Government, if they encounter a hothead, it's all for naught.
The ship encountered many problems along the way, but fortunately it finally made a successful landing.
"Here, here! If you want to stay, register here! Don't push! Line up properly!"
Soldiers in exoskeletons maintained order, announcements about entry procedures were broadcast over loudspeakers, and signs displayed national policies regarding foreign arrivals. There were also people specifically assigned to answer questions.
The level of education on the islands outside is unknown; occasionally, you might encounter workers who possess excellent skills but are illiterate.
These were not the first people to arrive on the island; the reception area already had plenty of experience, and the lists were divided into two stacks.
One is for ordinary people with no special skills, and the other is for those with a skill who may receive some preferential treatment.
"Name."
"Monet."
"Work experience, or what you are good at."
"Um, I used to work as a secretary for a few years, so I can also do housekeeping work."
"You should be literate, right? This is the entry notice, and this is where your group will live. You are responsible for explaining these things to them. During the resettlement and support period, these people will also be under your care."
Very few people can cross the sea to get here alone; those who can usually do so are quite capable and are generally specially recruited.
Most ordinary people arrive in groups like this, and they usually get to know each other during the voyage. Choosing someone who can read and write to be in charge of the group can save a lot of time, at least you don't have to notify each person individually as soon as there is news.
Monet ultimately lacked experience; if she had claimed to be most skilled in finance, perhaps she could have earned the respect of the people here.
While humanities majors may not be as practical as STEM majors in this situation, they are not entirely unsuitable.
The secretary and housekeeper's answers led the soldier in charge of registration to believe that Monet was just a quick-witted person, and that it wouldn't be difficult for someone like him to find a job in Piltover to make a living, so he didn't take it too seriously.
Although Monet successfully reached Piltover, she still had a long way to go to complete her undercover mission.
But at this time, someone had already set their sights on her young master.
Doflamingo has been working hard to develop since entering the Grand Line. Although Oran blocked many of his paths, Doflamingo was able to gain some advantages from the World Government by relying on his former status as a Celestial Dragon, and eventually made a name for himself.
In order to attract more customers, Doflamingo prepared the main attraction at the auction - Devil Fruits, and spread the word widely in the underworld. The people of Piltover naturally received this news as well.
