Chapter 13: Undercurrents*
Somewhere in the Grand Line:
*Peru Peru Peru* Clink
"Who's speaking?" A rough voice questioned through the den den mushi.
"Fisher Tiger, The Hero of Slaves who singlehandedly climbed the Red Line with bare hands and rescued thousands of slaves from the Holy Land itself. Your life is in danger." A glitchy voice was heard from the other end.
Tiger, as a sea bream Fish-Man, has round eyes, salmon-pink colored skin, a flat nose, wide lips with slight peach fuzz, a thick dark beard and sideburns, and a spiky dorsal fin on the back of his head, sprouting from under his long, curly hair. He is an exceptionally large Fish-Man, with a broad and muscular physique, an extremely thick neck, and long legs that are quite thin in comparison to the rest of his body. A few years ago he left the fish-man island to embark on an adventure but unfortunately, he was captured and sold as a slave to the world nobles. As a slave, Tiger was abused, tortured, and humiliated by his masters. Years later, Tiger managed to escape, but after seeing all the slaves left behind, he could not bear the thought of their suffering and decided to return to free them.
Thus, he committed a taboo against the world by climbing up the cliffs of the Red Line with his bare hands to Mary Geoise and attacked the holy land to free the slaves from the World Nobles. Due to understanding them as fellow slaves, Tiger did not discriminate against the humans and freed slaves of all races there. Among those human slaves were Koala, Boa Hancock, and her two sisters, Marigold and Sandersonia.
He was truly the epitome of a righteous hero whom Victor deeply admired, so now that he has the chance, he will prevent his untimely death. Will it create butterfly effects? Yes. Does he care? No.
"Isn't it a basic courtesy to reveal your identity before holding a conversation?" He said with a frown.
"Indeed! But my identity is not yet noteworthy enough for you to recognize me. As a sign of trust, I'll just say that I am not a human just like you. Many races have been systematically erased and persecuted throughout history, among them was the Lunarian Race and I am one of the last surviving member of my clan."
Fisher Tiger widened his eyes as Victor revealed such sensitive information, as a former slave he had also heard a few of World Noble's secrets in Marijois so he had a basic idea about the Lunarian race. Just giving the information about any Lunarian to the World Government will fetch millions of bellies as a reward.
"Why are you telling me this? Aren't you afraid that I will betray you?"
"I know a lot more about you than you think Fisher Tiger. Your hatred for humans didn't stop you from rescuing those human slaves from that cruel place. You see, I can see glimpses of the past and the future, and from what I have seen your death in the recent future will bring doom to the Fishman islands. More and more mermen/mermaids will be captured for the sick pleasure of those bastards and persecuted on the lands, and most importantly Princess Otohime will also be assassinated by one of your power-hungry men further diving the rift between humans and seafolks. If you can trust me a little, I'll be your biggest ally and friend against our common enemy as I don't want another race to face the same fate as mine."
Victor mixed a few bits of lies along with the truth to convince Fisher. He truly admired the heroic fishman but this stubborn guy even refused to take a blood transfusion from a human till his last breath. His hatred for humans ran deep but he was still kind enough to escort Koala to her home where he was betrayed by the villagers.
Fisher Tiger was a little stunned as he received such ominous predictions, he also felt a little bit of sympathy for this last remaining Lunarian guy. But he was not naive enough to trust an unknown person blindly.
"What proof can you give that you are not lying and trying to trick me?" He asked suspiciously.
"There should be a little slave girl named Koala on your ship."
"You're right but that doesn't prove anything."
"When you will arrive at her home island, you will escort her alone to her home to not scare the humans in her village. But those same humans will betray you and call the Marines in secret. You will die in the ambush as it will too late when your crew comes to your aid."
Fisher Tiger was silent for a moment after he heard the ominous prediction and then replied, "How can I contact you in the future?"
"Call me on this number(xxxx) when you realize I am not bluffing about my abilities. I'll bring the fight to the top one day so I hope you can survive till then and change the fate of yours as well as the Fishmen Islands." With that Victor cut off the call.
Fisher Tiger is a powerhouse by himself, Victor already cautioned him but he will leave the repercussions to the latter to handle. He can't spoon-feed everyone individually, everyone must fight their own battles alone in the end.
"What happened Boss Fisher? Why do you look so serious." A young Jinbei asked when he saw the former coming out of his cabin.
"Do you think someone can see the future Jinbei?"
"Ummm! I heard that there was a little girl named Sharley in Fishman islands who claims to see the future. Why are you asking boss?"
"It's nothing important, when will we reach Koala's home?"
"It'll take a few weeks Boss."
"Be on the lookout for any Marine Ships when we reach there."

Meanwhile in West Blue:
"Father Capone Bege!! We have urgent intel from our spies." A mob rushed into a meeting room where many mafias of the Capone Family were seated smoking cigars and drinking wine.
"What happened?"
"The men who had been monitoring Sofia Sanchez have been found dead a few days back. She has left her base secretly and her location is currently unknown."
"Where's that Moriarty brat? Is he still alive?"
"He was been staying with the Chinjao family in Kano Country for the last few weeks, he has not made any effort to hide his presence. BlackRock has closed off its borders so we don't have any intel from there."
"Heaheeaha! That coward left everything to the old bones and ran away like a rat it seems. Since Sofia Sanchez has also fled, start preparation to strike her home base. It'll be our toughest battle but with this, my conquest of West Blue Underworld will be over. Also, ask the puppets in other families to send more weapons and fighters as fodder."
"Yes Boss!!" The higerups answered in unison as they continued to make plans for the future.
