Merpeople AU

Under cut...because it was kinda long. 

Deep beneath the gentle rolling waves of the Paradise ocean, past the colourful coral reef teeming with abundance of sea creatures was a graveyard of sunken ships that could not survive the deceptively destructive current. Known as ‘Scrap Island’ by the occupants of the floating city of Waters 7 since the graveyard was situated on a perfectly circular island, which was surrounded by a sheer drop which no diver had ever ventured into..only the dead knew what lies beneath...but that is not wholly true. 

Past Scrap Island and into the murky depths, down and down until the mast of a very old ship The Oro Jackson can be seen which serves as the halfway mark and then further down is the true Waters 7. A glittering underwater kingdom built of pearls, gems, gold, coral and stone, glowing softly from the use of bioluminescent algae. The stone structures stood strong against the passage of time. 

This majestic kingdom was hope to the merpeople and the fishmen. They made a living from the sunken ships from Scrap Island. 

Occasionally a sailor will succumb to the violent whims of the ocean and will fall victim to the deadly current whirling around Scrap Island and in such times, the merpeople will save them. If they indeed can be saved. 

Today was one such day. The roaring storm could be felt meters beneath the waves. The merpeople from Dock 1, a small group called the Galley-La Company were at Scrap Island when the sound of several bodies entered the ocean. 

“Quickly! We need to help them!” Iceberg, a blue lionfish merman ordered, dropping his tools and swam off straight away. His comrades Paulie and Lulu followed him quickly.

“Wait up!” Paulie shouted, grabbing one sailor by the scruff of his neck. “Dead.” he mumbled realising the sailor condoning it to the murky depths before moving onto another.

Iceberg swam to a lone figure, he sensed they were still alive. “A woman..” he stared in shock at her, she was scared and bleeding from fresh wounds. “Hang in there.” carefully hooking his arm around her torso he glanced towards the others “I’m taking her to the surface!” he shouted and swam off before anyone could stop him. Iceberg swam as fast as his tail allowed. Breaching the surface of the ocean, the waves were still rough and unyielding. He smoothed back his deep blue hair out of his eyes. Glancing around he found no ship nearby. “Hang in there.” he whispered to the dark haired woman in his arms and began swimming towards the surface Waters 7. Usually the waves wouldn’t bother Iceberg so much but when he was carrying an injured human, then it was trickier. It felt like an eternity for Waters 7 to come into view. Iceberg sighed with relief and swam into one of the street rivers under the cover of darkness and carefully lifted his charge onto the cobbled streets where someone was bound to find her. 

Nodding at his completed task, Iceberg slipped back into the river and headed back home. 

But it would not be so. 

Due to the heavy storm, some fishing nets had come loose blocking the exit. Iceberg stopped and backed up, his brow furrowed deeply. He would have to find another way out but Waters 7 was known for its labyrinth of canals. Staying as low to the bottom as he could, he was met with more deadends than he would have liked. His heart started to beat quicker in panic. He had to get out by morning or he would be spotted by humans and not all humans were kind.  As he swam out of another deadend, a large net scooped him out of the canal like a goldfish in a tank. 

He squirmed and pulled at the net as it was lifted over the street. A man with a garish suit and strange leather face straps stared down at him with a wide grin and started laughing loudly.

“What a treasure! Just the attraction I needed!” he sniggered, dancing around the street “Kalifa!”

“That’s sexual harassment.” a blonde woman retorted quickly, 

“No it wasn’t!” he whined “find me Nico Robin, she should have arrived by now! She’ll want to gaze upon such a rare marine find.” he ordered, grabbing the net and hauling it with great difficulty down the street.

-

 Iceberg was dumped into a large glass tank with very little swimming space in the middle of a very fancy looking room. If the nature of his visit had been on better terms, he would have marvelled at the interior decor.

“Hmpf. I would have preferred a mermaid but this will still rake in the money.” he laughed hortely and swaggered out of the room leaving Iceberg to curl up in the corner of the tank.

Iceberg’s heart sank like an anchor. What am I going to do?

-

The morning sun poured through the large arched windows, casting its warm rays upon the occupants of the tank. Iceberg hadn’t slept at all. He heard the door open and footsteps headed towards the tank. 

“We meet again mermaid-san.” Iceberg uncoiled himself and looked up, his eyes widening in shock as he gazed upon the tall dark haired woman he had saved from drowning. Her wounds had been bound, the bandages creeping out from under her blouse. Before he could question it, she stared at him with a stern look and brought a finger to her lips signalling for him to be silent. 

“Ah, Nico Robin! I see you have seen my main attraction! Splendid isn’t he?” his captor entered the room and joyfully swanned towards Robin who frowned deeply before putting on a painfully fake smile as she turned around to face him.

“Yes, I have. A fine specimen.” Robin nodded, “A very rare find indeed.”

He laughed loudly slapping the tank proudly “And when this stupid fish is in the aquarium, I’ll make such a fortune!” Robin chuckled along with him.

“I have my hired muscle ready to transport it to the aquarium at your request.” Robin explained folding her arms across her chest “I will conduct my research there also.” Robin added simply. 

“Yes, yes, the sooner the better.” he snapped, marching away leaving Robin alone in the room.

“Franky.”  another door opened and a tall man, with a blue quiff, a brightly coloured shirt and equally bright cropped shorts entered. “Oh..I see you actually wore trousers…”Robin said, eyeing up the man's poor choice of leg wear, she sighed shaking her head “I suppose it could have been worse.”

Much to Iceberg’s surprise, Franky lifted the whole tank with ease. “Easy there. It’ll be super okay.” Frank said with a bright grin. “We’re busting you out!” 

“Perhaps not so loudly.” Robin scolded, “come on.” she said, striding confidently towards the door. Franky was quick to follow.

“So fish boy..what's your name?” Franky asked, as they excited the grand manor by the front door 

“Iceberg..” he answered, why he answered so quickly was beyond him but they didn’t seem to be out to hurt him. “Why-”

“Well you did save me.” Robin reminded, glancing over her shoulder with a smile. “And Spandam seems to forget I’m an archeologist not a marine biologist.” she added with a shake of her head “I doubt you would last long in his aquarium anyway. It wouldn’t do for a mermaid to become a plate of sushi.”

Iceberg tensed “-he would eat me?”

“Well legend states that consuming a mermaid would grant you immortality.” Robin explained, casting a more playful glance at him “perhaps we should test that theory.”

Iceberg backed straight up against the glass, almost knocking the tank out of Franky’s arms “No! Please-” Robin chuckled, silencing Iceberg’s fears. 

“She’s joking,” Franky whispered, “she has a dark sense of humour” he warned. Iceberg sighed with relief and watched the strangely tall man reshoulder the tank and carried on walking. 

“You are not surprised-” Iceberg said, looking up at Franky who shrugged

“I was saved by a fish-man called Tom when I was younger.”

“Tom?..yellow? A long horned cowfish-” Franky nodded in response “Tom was my master!”

“Was?” Franky questioned with an arched brow. Iceberg sunk to the bottom of the tank as he thought back to that dreadful day.

“He was captured by humans some years ago...I never saw him again…” Iceberg explained quietly. 

“It was Spandam’s father,” Robin added, as they descended a flight of steep stone stairs. Iceberg could see the ocean, he was almost free. “Spandine, boasted how he caught a mermaid but was quite disappointed about the fishman that was caught instead. I heard he lived a horrible life in the very same aquarium you were bound for.”

Iceberg’s heart sank “thank you...for telling what happened to him..”

“It wasn’t a fate anyone deserves.” Robin said, as the reached the beach “I didn’t get a chance to thank you.” Robin smiled at him warmly. Iceberg nodded, returning the smile as they crossed the beach quickly. Franky set the tank down and tipped it slowly pouring the water out into the ocean as Iceberg slid out into the water with an almost silent splash. He sighed with relief, rolling about in the salty ocean. 

He laid upon the beach with his saviours. 

“I can’t thank you enough.” he said, “Is there anything I can offer you in return?” Franky shook his head. 

“You go live a super life underwater. Away from this place.” 

“I wish you could come with me..Our waters 7 is strikingly different and I would love to show you it.” Iceberg said, looking back at the towering floating city behind them. Franky hummed, scratching his chin in thought. 

“One day! I’ll build a super ship that can sail beneath the ocean and we’ll visit.” Franky grinned brightly “you should get off before they notice you’re not there.”

“Thank you my friends.” Iceberg thanked one last time before diving back into the dark waters. 

-

“ICEBERG!” Paulie spotted him first and swam towards him, circling him as he checked for injuries. “Are you hurt?” 

“I’m fine, Paulie.” Iceberg said, trying to calm the frantic Moorish idol merman “I was captured but I was also saved quite quickly by two humans..one new Tom..”

“Our Tom?!” Paulie shouted, Iceberg patted Paulie’s shoulder

“Come. I’ll explain when we are home. This is no place to loiter.” Iceberg said with a smile, “I was just as shocked.” Iceberg cast one last glance at the surface, he would need to repay the two humans who saved him from a life in a fishtank.

-

A few days later Franky turned up to Robin’s office. “Is there a reason you’re in my office without trousers again?” Robin asked, not even glancing up from her book. Franky slumped into the chair in front of her desk, 

“They’re super uncomfortable,” he replied with a shrug, “though,” he set a delicate hairpin fashioned from coral and pearls on her desk. “Our fish friend left us a few gifts.” Franky explained, gesturing to the ship brooch that was made from bones on his shirt. Robin inspected the hairpin with a soft smile on her lips. “What did Spanda say?”

“I told him the merman dissolved into foam when he was placed in the tank, the ph level of the water must have been unsuitable.” Robin explained simply “Of course he believed it.”

“That’s super!” Franky laughed, he could just imagine the look on his face when being told that his rare pet had simply dissolved. Robin rose from her chair, crossing the room she stared out to the sea, placing the hairpin in her hair.

“I have a feeling we might see our new friends again soon.” she hummed.
