Aaron's things before were all trivial matters, and Noah also stopped Jinbei and told him not to hit him too hard. If he hits him too hard, everyone will forgive him once they see how pitiful he is.
With the magnanimity of this little gangster, the more face he loses, the more he has to get it back from the weak. In the future, I will end up in Fishman Street, and it is really not worth the trouble.
In the evening, Noah took Robin and Tiger to Ryugu Castle for a banquet. Jinbe was leading the way. This guy finally got back to his job. It was not easy.
During this period, we passed Geelong Coder Square, Mermaid Bay, and Fishfordly Villa. It can be seen that the living environment of the mermaid tribe is indeed much better than that of the mermaid tribe, cleaner and neater. Then the conflict between the two races is also a problem, Noah thought as he walked.
Entering Dragon Palace City, we walked all the way to the banquet hall. King Neptune had already led his ministers and three princes to wait at the door to greet tonight's guests.
There was a burst of devilish laughter from the world of One Piece, and King Neptune welcomed everyone into the banquet hall with a generous smile, and also served them rich delicacies.
For King Neptune, Noah felt that he was an elder with a generous and kind personality. The performance in the original work also does not reflect the king's posture. Although he looks very vicious on the outside, there is a huge gap with his actual personality. When Shirahoshi disappeared, he cried and begged the Straw Hats to return his beloved daughter to him.
As a king, he has shortcomings in his actions. But as a husband and a father, he is definitely qualified. However, after his lover passed away, he resolutely took over his wife's legacy and continued to advocate that "murlocs and mermaids should coexist peacefully with humans." When Bai Xing encounters danger, he is also a good man who dares to risk his life.
"I'm sorry, Princess Otohime is putting my little princess to bed right now. She will be here in a minute."
Neptune first expressed his apology, and then got to know Noah and Robin. As for Tiger, he simply said hello. After all, Tiger was very familiar with him.
King Neptune rules the Fishman Island, and the mermaids and fishmen are his subjects. As the leader of the fish people, Tiger spent a lot of time in Dragon Palace City talking to Neptune, and he was considered a very close friend. There had been no news from Tiger before, and Neptune also used his own channels to help inquire.
"Mr. Noah, thank you very much for saving Tiger. This guy is very important to our Fishman Island. And he is also a good friend of mine. Here, I declare that Mr. Noah and Miss Robin will be our fishmen from now on." I will always be my friend."
The two ministers sitting below looked at each other, looking a little embarrassed. It seems that this is another temporary thing that King Neptune himself did.
After Noah and the others came to Fish-Man Island with Tiger, and news spread that Noah was Tiger's savior, Ryugu City started a simple investigation and found that both of them were criminals wanted by the World Government. , and the bounty is not low, and the reason for the bounty is still the O'Hara incident. Fish-Man Island still knows about the historical text, and they even put a piece of it in the Forest of the Sea.
Fishman Island knows more or less why the world government is afraid of the blank 100 years. The legend of Neptune is not a legend to the royal family.
This time King Neptune's promise to the O'Hara remnants is likely to attract the attention of the world government. Although it is 10,000 meters under the sea, the ministers all know that there must still be spies from the World Government in Fish-Man Island, and maybe even in Ryugu City. This time it becomes more troublesome. However, the king of his country had made a promise, and the ministers had no choice but to obey.
After a few rounds of changing glasses, Princess Otohime returned. Princess Otohime has a very high status on Fishman Island and is determined. She takes the spotlight on many important matters. She is also born with the "power of seeing, hearing, and color". She can hear the inner voices of others and can also use this ability to make speeches. She is a woman who is both passionate and compassionate.
After saying hello to Tiger, they chatted with Noah again. Princess Otohime is very outgoing and behaves very grandly. She always promotes some of her own ideas in chats, and uses peaceful means to change the relationship between humans and Fishman Island, so that the fishmen and fishmen can freely go to land to live. .
Noah didn't expect that he would be criticized by others.
The concept is very good, and Princess Otohime is also a person who can practice her own ideas, but she is too idealistic and many things are divorced from reality. Fishman Island’s own unilateral contribution alone cannot bring about equal dialogue. As long as the slave trade on the sea is stopped, Fish-Man Island will never be peaceful for a day. Now that it is separated from the protection of the deep sea and returns to the sea, it means serving it to others' dinner plates.
Moreover, Fish-Man Island still has its own historical issues that have not yet been resolved. No one in the world knows about the agreement between Joyboy and Neptune. Doesn’t the one between Five Old Stars and Flowers still know? .
Idealists always use intuition to understand the world and emotions to make judgments about the world. But most people in the world are realists. Princess Otohime is willing to sacrifice her life for the beautiful future she dreams of, but the greater risks brought about by her ideas must be borne by all the residents of Fishman Island.
Noah likes people with ideals, but he doesn't like idealists. The difference here is huge. So Noah was very confused about whether to transmit fire to Princess Otohime. If this kind of person cannot fully agree with your ideas, he will continue to counterattack to prove his ideas. Very troublesome.
Otohime's innate ability to sense people's emotions. She could feel that Noah, who was sitting opposite, had many thoughts about her concept. There is admiration, disdain, a little recognition, but more opposition. This makes Otohime very strange. She has experienced many emotions of contempt and opposition, but such contradictory emotions are rare.
"May I ask whether two scholars from O'Hara have any different opinions on my idea?"
"Do you know how many Baileys a mermaid can fetch at a human auction house?"
These offensive words made everyone present very angry. How could you say such words in Dragon Palace City! But Noah didn't care, he wanted to continue talking.
"500 million Baileys!"
Seeing that no one was talking, Noah took it on his own.
"Do you know how many Baileys a middle-class, that is, a relatively affluent family in a very prosperous town in the East China Sea needs to live in a year?"
"Two million beli! The least remote areas require only 500,000 beli."
"A senior said that once there is an appropriate profit, capital becomes bold. If there is 10% profit, it is guaranteed to be used everywhere; if there is 20% profit, it will become active; if there is 50% profit, it will be used everywhere. It takes desperate risks; for 100% profit, it dares to trample all human laws; for 300% profit, it dares to commit any crime and even risk hanging. If turmoil and disputes can bring profits, it will Encouraging unrest and strife. The smuggling and slave trade are evidence of this.”
Everyone at the scene was shocked by this bloody and dirty capital explanation. These words made everyone present instantly lose the courage to return to the sun.
Otohime mustered up her courage and said
"There is also a world government, as long as the world government is willing..."
"Ahem, Princess Otohime, if, I mean if. Fishman Island returns to life on the sea, but a large number of your compatriots are captured by the World Government and enshrined to the Celestial Dragons, what will you do?"
Hearing Noah's words, the banquet hall suddenly became quiet. Tiger's hands shook for a moment, then he fell silent, and then looked at Princess Otohime with a complicated look.
"I will seek the countries that are members of the World Government to sign a petition together to ask the World Government to stop this wrong behavior."
"What if the World Government doesn't stop? What if the World Government sends troops to attack the Fishman Island on the sea? Are you sure you can protect the residents of the island?"
"I will use my life to protect everyone."
Otohime said firmly with a sincere tone, and Noah also believed that she could do what she said. But this is the biggest evil of idealists in anime.
"But other people will die on Fish-Man Island, and then war will sweep across the country. It may be the grandma from Fish-Man Street, or it may be the newly born little mermaid. Why do they have to die for your ideals? There will be countless others. Dog-like pirate ships come here to hunt. Who doesn’t want to make a lot of money? What about the people of Fishman Island? Their biggest wish is to return to the real sunshine and not become slaves under the sun.”
Otohime didn't know what to say, her knowledge and knowledge couldn't help her. Everything the man in front of me said was serious, as if it was destined to happen in the future.
