Chapter 103 Princess Otohime’s approval! Fishman Street!
Ryugu Castle is located above Fishman Island and is wrapped in an independent huge bubble.
But of course, the bubble where Ryugu Castle is located is still connected to Fishman Island through some huge pipes.
These pipes are spread all over Fishman Island, with high-speed flowing water in them. Fishmen and mermaids can quickly travel to various places in Fishman Island through these pipes.
This is a very large and luxurious building, not much smaller than Onigashima.
The most eye-catching point is that a huge blue dragon sculpture is perched on the top of this palace, which is lifelike, with complete beard and hair. The huge head is located right above the palace, roaring silently with its mouth open.
“Is it Dad?”
Yamato was stunned when he saw the dragon. “So you are Dad’s fans?”
In this world, when it comes to Azure Dragon, the first person that comes to mind is of course Teacher Gai.
Neptune’s face showed a trace of embarrassment.
How should he answer at this time?
Will it anger them if he says no, this is the totem of Fishman Island for generations?
Ian chuckled.
Vegapunk said that the devil fruit comes from the desires in people’s hearts.
Then, will the first generation of Azure Dragon Fruit users come from Fishman Island? The Shenlong is a legend passed down by the residents of this island, right? Anyway, it is the highest city in the sea, Ryugu Castle.
Later.
In a banquet hall inside Ryugu Castle, a banquet to welcome Ian and others is being held.
Whether it was out of fear or politeness, Ian could not find fault with Neptune’s behavior, and his attitude towards them was quite serious.
Even though he was not familiar with Fishman Island, Ian could see that the standard of this banquet was quite high.
The table in front of him was filled with all kinds of unfamiliar food, even including a lot of fish. Little-known fact is that mermaids don’t eat fish.
There were also some beautiful mermaid ladies dancing on the central stage.
Most of the senior officials of Ryugu City came, and they held their breath carefully, fearing that they would anger Ian and others.
In addition, Neptune’s family also came, including his eldest son, Shark Star with blue hair.
And——
”Welcome to Fishman Island!”
The speaker was a woman sitting next to Neptune. She was wearing a long dress with a goldfish pattern, with golden hair combed into two buns like rabbit ears on top of her head. She had round cheeks and looked dignified and kind.
Otohime.
The princess of the Kingdom of Ryugu.
A fragile but strong woman.
She raised her glass to Ian, “Guests of the Beasts Pirates, I hope you can enjoy the upcoming banquet.”
Ian smiled and raised his glass to her.
Otohime was only a little over two meters tall, while her husband Neptune was a giant mermaid over ten meters tall. The difference in size was simply amazing.
Could it be that Neptune was also a master of life return?
Speaking of which, Princess Otohime is also remarkable. When Shirahoshi grows up, her body size is bigger than her father. Even as a baby, her body size should not be less than Princess Otohime.
Neptune couldn’t help but breathe a sigh of relief when he saw this happy scene.
Although Fishman Island is protected by the Whitebeard Pirates, his good brother Whitebeard is too far away.
If this Burning Sky Ian really wants to do something, they can’t stop him at all.
It seems that he really came to discuss business.
Just don’t know what Ian meant by the immigration plan.
Hope, it’s not a too harsh requirement.
Neptune took a deep breath.
While he was full of worries, Ian’s friends were really enjoying the banquet.
The special delicacies from the bottom of the sea made everyone marvel.
Yamato ate happily, and Jack swallowed silently.
Even Black Maria was smiling happily. Law even said, “It’s a pity that Sanji didn’t come.”
And Violet, she tried to shrink into the corner, reducing her presence, looking around with her eyes. For her, this was her first time leaving Dressrosa, so the Fishman IslandEverything surprised her.
And at this time.
”So, Lord Ian,”
Princess Otohime started the topic, “What do you mean by the immigration plan?”
Finally, we got to the point.
Ian wiped his mouth and said seriously, “It means literally, Princess Otohime, our Beasts Pirates hope to migrate a group of fishmen or mermaids from Fishman Island to Wano Country.”
Ian is going to make Wano Country the second home of fishmen and mermaids.
In this way, not only can we get a huge boost.
More importantly, we will have the right to claim the title of Sea King.
”What!”
Neptune almost knocked over the table in front of him.
His face immediately turned red.
He almost cursed out loud.
What a bullshit immigration plan! Isn’t it just to come to Fishman Island to plunder slaves?
Speaking so righteously, aren’t they just human traffickers?
But.
”Really?”
Princess Otohime’s eyes lit up, and she even stood up directly. Because she was over 30 years old, she already had legs. She strode over and looked at Ian with hope, “Ian! Is what you said true?”
”Otohime?”
Neptune screamed.
You won’t believe this guy!
In fact, Ian was stunned for a moment, and he almost subconsciously said, “Of course it’s true, I don’t have to lie to you.”
”Wano Country has a vast inland sea, and even many underwater ruins. There should be no other island on the sea that is so suitable for fish people to survive.”
”Yeah, yeah!”
Otohime nodded repeatedly, her eyes full of emotion.
Ian raised his eyebrows, and he remembered the ability of this woman.
That’s no wonder.
”But why!”
Seeing his wife’s obsessed look, Neptune couldn’t help but ask, “Why are you doing this?”
”Our Beasts Pirates are going to form an underwater force, and the fishmen and mermaids are the best candidates.”
Ian said bluntly, “In addition, the seabed is also a huge treasure, containing a lot of resources. If you want to exploit these resources, the help of the fishmen and mermaids is also indispensable.”
Even, you can help explore the seabed of Wano Country and see where Pluto is hiding.
”Troops?”
Neptune gritted his teeth.
Sure enough, they just want to use Fishman Island.
”Great!”
Princess Otohime even shed tears at this time, “This is really great!”
Not to mention Neptune, even Ian’s friends were confused by her exaggerated reaction.
What’s wrong with this woman?
Is it so easy to believe? However, the princess of Fishman Island wiped her tears and turned back to her husband and said, “Neptune! It’s true! What Ian said is true! He is serious! He is serious about migrating some of his compatriots to Wano Country and becoming a member of that country!”
Neptune was stunned.
He remembered his wife’s ability.
Ian was also sighing at this time, it was really an incredible observation Haki.
Otohime is a natural awakener of observation Haki.
Her observation Haki has the ability to perceive other people’s emotions, and it is easy to empathize with others. In other words, she is born with the Holy Mother Body.
So, of course, she can easily tell whether Ian is lying or not.
What’s more exaggerated is that she can also force others to empathize with her and perceive her own emotional changes. To some extent, she can even directly change a person’s values, which can be called an alternative brainwashing.
“Promise Ian, Neptune!” Otohime said loudly, “This is the best opportunity! Ian has no discrimination against us, he really wants to help us go to the sea!”
She has always felt that the future of Fishman Island is to go to the sea.
We can’t stay in this dark deep sea forever! Do we want to let generations of children not know what sunshine and sea breeze feel like?
Facing his tearful wife, Neptune was silent.
Although Otohime is his wife, he actually does not agree with Otohime’s proposition.
Milky men and mermaids are too weak compared to humans.
Going to the sea blindly will only lead to endless persecution from humans.
However, looking at his wife with a firm face, Neptune hesitated again.
And when he looked at Ian, this hesitation turned into something else.
If he couldn’t achieve his goal, Ian would never give up, right? He looked at Ian, “Sir Ian, how can I trust you, my compatriots will not be persecuted by you when they go to Wano Country?”
”I can guarantee it,”
Ian said solemnly, “When the fishmen and mermaids go to Wano Country, they will not be treated differently. I will provide them with shelter. Anyone who dares to hurt them will be my enemy.”
Just kidding, the fishmen who can move freely in the sea are even more important than the natives of Wano Country. Discrimination?
If they want to discriminate, they should discriminate against the natives of Wano Country.
Don’t talk about myself, even Teacher Kai is afraid that he would not be willing to persecute them.
Besides, I have a living example on my side.
“Jack.”
Ian looked at Jack who had been eating silently.
Jack instantly understood what Ian meant.
He sat up straight, unzipped his clothes, and revealed the gills on his shoulders. “There is no need to doubt Brother Ian. A fishman can live well in the Beast Pirates.”
The premise is that you are strong enough.
Neptune was stunned.
Fishman!
Are the cadres around Ian also fishmen?
Neptune looked at Otohime again.
The mermaid princess nodded repeatedly, “It’s true, they are all serious.”
Is that so? Neptune took a deep breath and looked at Ian solemnly, “Sir Ian, in this case, let’s talk about the immigration plan you mentioned.”
If you really want to ensure safety, it may not be a bad thing to let some compatriots who are willing to go to the sea go to the sea.
Neptune knew very well that the yearning for the blue sky and land had been rooted in the souls of the people of Fishman Island for hundreds of years.
Who wouldn’t yearn for the sea? It’s just that they are afraid of danger.
Ah? Is this done?
Luo was stunned and almost choked by the food in his mouth.
Is it that easy? It was done in a few words.
”Sir Ian,”
Neptune asked, “How many people are you going to take away? I’ve made it clear in advance that I won’t force my compatriots. You can only take away those who voluntarily want to leave with you.”
”The number doesn’t matter.”
Ian said, “I hope the first batch of immigrants will become a benchmark, so that the later fish-men and mermaids will know that Wano Country really welcomes their arrival.”
Standard.
Neptune muttered in his heart, how many people are you going to take away? However, Ian’s attitude also made Neptune relieved.
As long as it’s not forced.
”Then let me help!”
Otohime volunteered, “I will prepare an island-wide broadcast and tell everyone the good news!”
”Thank you very much.”
Ian was sincere.
You can say that Otohime is a saint or unrealistic, but at least now, this woman has helped a lot.
”In addition,”
Ian raised the corner of his mouth, “Can you take me to Fishman Street?”
”Fishman Street?”
Neptune was stunned, “Why go there? Sir Ian, that’s where the gangsters gather.”
Fishman Street was originally an orphanage on Fishman Island, but because of the lack of conventions, it has become a paradise for bad boys.
”It’s better to have gangsters.”
Ian said, “If you want to form an army, of course you have to choose some brutal guys.”
Neptune was slightly stunned.
So, after the banquet, Neptune personally took Ian and others to the Fishman Street.
Still riding a huge sea fish, they approached the fishman gathering area on the back of Fishman Island from the air.
While flying over, the broadcast covering the entire island had already sounded.
”Fellow countrymen!”
Princess Otohime’s excited voice sounded, “I have good news to inform everyone! The opportunity to go to the sea surface has appeared!”
Neptune glanced at Ian who was listening quietly.
He said cautiously, “I’m afraid the effect will not be too good. After years of hatred, the people’s attitude towards humans is generally hostile.”
Moreover, what Tiger did not long ago further exacerbated this hostility.
”It doesn’t matter,”
Ian said, “Again, it’s enough to have some people as pioneers.”
There are a full five hundred people on Fishman Island.Ten thousand people, it shouldn’t be difficult to find a few thousand people who don’t hate humans and yearn for land? Neptune nodded slightly, thinking that Ian was quite reasonable and a good person.
Soon, they arrived at the Fishman Street.
It’s called a street, but it’s not a street, but a fairly large block.
Tens of thousands of people live here.
When Ian and others arrived here, they heard the fishmen in groups of three or two on the street discussing the speech of Princess Otohime just now.
“She said the Beasts Pirates! Has the Beasts Pirates come to Fishman Island to recruit people?”
”Damn humans! They want to attack Fishman Island again! Damn Neptune! Damn Otohime! If Brother Tiger were here, there would be no room for those human pirates to be rampant!”
”What nonsense are you talking about! That’s the Beasts Pirates! If we can join the Beasts Pirates, how can humans dare to look down on us?”
”Huh? You bastard, do you want to bow to humans?”
”I’m just telling the truth!”
So, when Ian walked into this block, he saw a lot of fishmen fighting each other.
People’s hearts can be used.
Ian stretched his waist, and the next second, he soared into the sky, and then, a brilliant golden dragon spanned the sky, and blazing flames soared into the sky, and the strong light and heat immediately radiated the entire Fishman Street.
All the fishmen involuntarily cast their eyes towards him.
”I am Ian, from the Beasts Pirates!”
Ian’s mighty voice swept the entire block like a storm, “Those who want to follow me and make a big fuss with the Beasts Pirates can come to me now!”
As soon as these words came out, the entire Fishman Street was instantly boiling.
”Here he comes! Really here! Ian of Burning Sky! The Beasts Pirates!”
”If you can join the Beasts Pirates, who else in the world dares to mess with us?”
”I want to join the Beasts Pirates! They are one of the strongest pirate groups in the world!”
Of course, there is another reaction.
“Assholes! How dare you come here! Damn humans, how dare you come to Fishman Street and act so recklessly!”
”Let’s go! Go and drive them away!”
”That’s right! Brother Tiger and the others are not here, so we have to protect Fishman Street for them!”
So, with two different purposes, two different groups of fishmen gathered into a torrent and came towards Ian at the same time.
Please give me a monthly ticket! (End of this chapter)
