Lin Fan in One Piece

New World.

Fisherman's Island.

For hundreds of years, this island was known for its fishing.

Not only that.

Because of its reputation over the years, it has turned into a large market that includes merchants from all over the New World.

In this market, fish of all kinds and varieties are traded.

Even fishermen from the islands near this area come to sell fish to this island because they can get a good price.

That's why there is a famous saying on Fisherman's Island.

If you don't find the fish you're looking for here, you won't find it anywhere else.

Because of this saying, you can understand the power of Fisherman's Island when it comes to fish.

At the same time, ordinary pirates don't dare to think about this island.

After all, this means the hostility of merchants all over the world.

But what scares them the most is the presence of a man like a monster protecting this island.

That's why this island is one of the few islands in the New World that is not controlled by pirates or the Navy.

And it doesn't need protection from the Yonko.

 This is why it is considered somewhat safe, in the dangerous new world.

And of course almost all the people who live there work in an industry related to fishing.

And the dream that all the children on Fishing Island share is to become a fisherman and catch giant sea kings when they grow up.

At this moment, the main port on the island was crowded with ships coming and going loaded with goods.

And people displaying their fish for sale and shouting loudly to attract buyers.

And merchants loading the many goods onto their ships without stopping.

At this moment, not far from the market, in the section dedicated to ships going fishing.

In front of one of the fishing ships that was already about to leave.

A boy who looked about twelve years old stood screaming and crying sadly, which attracted the attention of passersby.

In front of the boy stood a tall, huge man with a physique that explained the meaning of strength with all its brutality.

But at this moment, the man was scratching his head in frustration, not knowing what to do.

When people heard the screams, they quickly gathered around him, ready to watch the drama.

 Under the eyes of the spectators, the boy wiped his tears with his sleeve and raised his head to look at the man.

"Dad, please take me with you this time."

"Please, you promised me, are you going to break your promise?"

The child begged, shaking his father's hand forcefully, and looked at him with eyes full of sadness and confusion.

He couldn't understand.

Thinking about yesterday, his father had promised to take him with him, but now he refused and told him that it was dangerous to go with him.

He bit his lip gently, it seemed that he didn't want his father to see his sadness, but he couldn't stop the tears from flowing.

The child had a beautiful and cute face, especially his eyes that were very lively, in addition to his fiery red hair that reached his shoulder.

It clearly showed that he would be very handsome when he grew up.

At this moment, tears were falling from his eyes, making him look pitiful.

"Nour.."

The father looked at his crying son and felt a little pain in his heart.

At this moment, he wanted to kick himself.

He felt remorseful, thinking of yesterday when he was drunk, under his son's insistence, in order not to bother him more, at that moment he couldn't help but agree.

But who knew that his son took it seriously.

Looking at His son's sad eyes , he actually didn't want to disappoint him.

But!!

The man ruffled his red hair with both hands in frustration, and pulled out a few strands of hair.

Going to the sea is extremely dangerous!

He knew that even he could lose his life at any moment.

These situations had already happened more than once, and the numerous wounds on his body proved this.

What about Noor?

He was still a young child of seven years old, going to the sea wasn't something a child his age should do.

He didn't want him to go to the sea until he was at least fifteen.

 He didn't want his son to live a dangerous life at a young age like the one he lived.

Unlike the handsome boy, the father was different from his son and had a normal but manly face.

It seemed that the boy inherited his looks from his mother.

But the boy inherited the red hair and strong physique from his father.

The father was over three meters tall, which made him stand out like a thumb, in the crowd.

In addition to his inhuman height, his body was filled with bulging and taut muscles.

Different from the unnaturally bulging muscles of bodybuilders.

Looking at these muscles made you feel that this is what a real strong man's body is supposed to look like.

"What do I do now?" Duran thought sadly, confused.

On the one hand, he didn't want to let his son down, but at the same time, he didn't want to put his son in danger.

He was in a real dilemma.

At this moment, a strong man with a long beard that reached down to his chest approached him, patted Duran on the back and said with a bright smile.

 "Why don't you take him? This time we won't go far, with your protection nothing bad will happen to him."

Hearing the man's words, the people watching came forward and also tried to convince him.

They were all acquaintances living on the fishing island.

The sailors who worked on the same ship as him also convinced him.

They couldn't bear it when they saw how sad Noor was, they watched him grow up like their own child.

Duran who was already confused when he saw Noor crying.

His heart softened under everyone's persuasion and he finally agreed in his heart.

He looked at his son for a moment and thought that what the sailors said might be true.

If there was a danger to the point that he wouldn't even be able to protect Noor, it would be better if he grew up quickly.

Although he thought that way, he was actually trying to convince himself with this talk because he couldn't refuse his cute son.

He nodded and sighed in resignation, and said.

"Okay, go up."

Yay!!

 Noor jumped up in joy and the tears turned into a happy smile in an instant.

When the people eating watermelons saw that the play was over, they dispersed and everyone went to their work.

This was just a short episode in their lives, adding some flavor and color to their monotonous lives.

Now that it was over, it was time to ask for a living.

Noor, who suddenly stopped jumping, seemed to have remembered something after thinking for a few seconds.

He quickly ran to the boat in fear, thinking that his father might suddenly regret it.

Dorane's companions understood Noor's thoughts when they saw him suddenly running, and they burst out laughing as they slowly followed after him.

The boat was filled with joy due to the arrival of the new little companion and set off into the sea amidst laughter.
