Unlike other long-term transactions, arms are more profitable in a single large-scale transaction. The deep-sea environment of Fishman Island has higher requirements for weapons. Old-fashioned muskets may not be able to fire at all due to the return of gunpowder.
Although Fish-Man Island is not the territory of the beasts, they always only depend on whether the other party has money when selling arms.
He was able to come here to estimate the commercial value of Fish-Man Island because he had this ability. This was his talent in business.
When hostility is eliminated, animals generally have three attitudes toward islands.
The first is a basic base similar to Wano. This is the main base of the pirate group. It is not only occupied, but also vigorously developed.
The second type is a shelter similar to an empty island, which provides a flag to ensure the safety of the place, and at the same time collects unique assets on the island in return every year.
In addition, there is a third type, which is to only do business and not provide flag protection. At most, it is free shipping, such as Kraygana Island where the original Sikeal Kingdom was located.
Fishman Island is the third situation. There are no specialties on the island. Although the location is very critical, it is also located in the deep sea. The investment to occupy this place is too high. It is not worth it yet.
And the most valuable thing to use is the power of fishmen. There is no need to occupy this place at all. He just wants to hire some fishmen.
And this is also related to the general policy he got before leaving Onigashima.
If you occupy Fishman Island now, you will start a war with Whitebeard. Although it doesn't matter if you start a war, it is not in the best interest. Even if Whitebeard is eliminated, it will be difficult to digest such a large territory, and at the same time, you have to face the backstabbing of the World Government. .
Coupled with the relationship between Whitebeard and Neptune, a major change will have to be made on Fish-Man Island by then.
There is no need to do anything. After Whitebeard dies, Fish-Man Island will take the initiative to find a new protector. The meaning of finding one yourself is completely different from that of others asking for one.
"arms."
"We're not interested in arms. How about we talk about your mining plan?"
Otohime is not interested in this aspect of business. Fishman Island is not without weapons, but the quality is much worse than the weapons made by the beasts.
But in Otohime's opinion, these are enough for Fishman Island.
"Well, since the princess is not interested, forget it."
Anyway, Fish-Man Island is not their own territory, and the problem of Fish-Man Island's ideology and personnel strength is more serious than weapons.
In Kojiro's opinion, Fish-Man Island's behavior is stupid, but he has no reason to interfere. He is not a royal family here.
“So let’s talk about the mining problem, and in a nutshell we have two options.
The first Fishman Island provides labor force, looks for suitable things for us in the deep sea, notifies us when found, and works as miners, and we will pay the personnel for their labor.
The second is that after you finish mining, give us the ore, and we will purchase the ore at a suitable price. "
"Does it make any difference?"
"Of course there is. One is to calculate working hours, and the other is to calculate products. Your income will be higher in the latter, but it is easier for you to integrate into the human group in the former. By the way, this transaction has nothing to do with the pirate group, but a serious business. Behavior.
This is our business license, which can be circulated even in Mariejoia. "
Baishou Fruit is a serious company. Although those people have long known the truth about its scam, they still chose to turn a blind eye in the face of huge profits.
"This is a plan. You two can consider it slowly. I will stay here for a while and study things like department stores."
He couldn't explain those things clearly for several days, so he just left the plan and left here. Next, he had to find out the spending power of Fish-Man Island through the department store, so as to formulate a wage system suitable for this place.
Although there are many dangers in deep-sea mining, such as the lack of suitable equipment and dangerous sea monsters, that is not what he wants to think about. Which aspect of the problem will be handled by Pokémon? All he has to do is negotiate.
Looking at the plan, Otohime was a little moved. The meaning of a close relationship with a pirate group was completely different from that of a close relationship with a serious company.
Ryugu Kingdom is obviously a franchise country. If it wants to really enter the public eye, it cannot rely on its relationship with the Whitebeard Pirates.
Although the people who are protected by Whitebeard think that Whitebeard is a good leader, for most people in the world, especially ordinary people who can only get all information from the World Government, pirates are still out-and-out evil party.
In addition to arousing the admiration of some young people, the hatred of navy, and the greed of bounty hunters, those big pirates all over the world also arouse the fear of ordinary people.
"Neptune, I think this is an opportunity, an opportunity to have friendly contact with people on land."
"Otohime."
"Your Majesty Neptune, Fisher Tiger has returned from his trip. He has arrived outside the Dragon Palace City."
A fish-man soldier reported the specific situation, and Otohime and Neptune also paused the conversation to allow Tiger to enter.
He is an outstanding adventurer and traveler who has traveled around the world. He is deeply trusted and respected by Ryugu. He brought back some information about the land in Fishman Island, but this time his news is about Otohime and Nip. Dun also looked at him sideways.
"I want to save Mariejoia's slaves."
After telling some things, Fisher Tiger said a very shocking topic.
Outside the residence of Rusaka in Coral Hill, Xiao Hachiliu controlled the takoyaki machine with his arms. At this time, he was already able to make takoyaki skillfully. In addition, there were Haku and several Manders. Feishu's fish-man younger brother.
"Brother Manderfish, they still can't accept your identity as a human being and have left."
This is also expected, not everyone can accept this kind of thing.
"Boss, they also have difficulties because of your status."
"I know, and I don't blame them, but it's a pity, I quite like these guys." Those fishmen have also been with him for a while, and they have always taken good care of their little brother Mandfish.
"Xiaoba, Brother Tiger is back, aren't you going to see him?"
"Nu, there's enough time. I heard that he went to Ryugu Castle, and I just happened to bring him some takoyaki."
On Ghost Island, a new voyage is also being prepared. 12-year-old Jack embarks on his maiden voyage, as does Yamato of the same age, accompanied by Maria and Robin, who are older than her.
At this time, she was studying the atlas, and was still discussing with Maria and the others which island to use as the destination for this voyage.
The purpose of this time is not adventure or fun, but a real trial
