Pirates: Davy Jones is the captain of the Dread Ghost

Chapter 194 No one can tell what will happen on the deep-sea route
From then on, Fish-Man Island was Davy Jones's territory, both in a practical sense and in a legal sense.

Neptune signed his name on a drafted document with a gray quill and handed it to Davy Jones.

This document is informal and transitional, and a more detailed and complicated one will be signed in the future.

Davy Jones took over. At this moment, he, Neptune, Maester Catfish, and General Seahorse were the only four people left in the palace.

To be honest, the people on Ryugu City's side were under huge mental pressure when facing Davy Jones, because they knew very well that this big pirate with 14.5 billion Baileys could easily tear the three of them apart.

However, even if the entire Dragon Palace City guards were added, he could still tear them apart easily. The result would not change, it was just a matter of time.

Davy Jones did the same thing. He signed his name at the end of the document, and a green light flashed over the pen tip and the document.

Then, Neptune felt a strange connection, like a chain piercing his heart, connected to the contract document.

There was no tingling sensation, but Neptune could feel himself being restrained.

"The contract has come into effect." Davy Jones put down the quill and placed it on the black pen holder aside, with a mysterious tone in his tone.

Neptune immediately realized that any contract signed with Davy Jones would have special and mandatory binding force to ensure the execution of the contents of the contract.

This contract covers almost most of the important powers held by Dragon Palace City, including garrison power, military recruitment power, taxation power, legislative power, etc.

All in all, Neptune is still the king, but Fish-Man Island has a higher level of governance structure. Davy Jones's decision-making power on major matters on Fish-Man Island is still above Neptune's.

Neptune is the king in name only, but in reality he is more like a "minister" who manages Fish-Man Island for Davy Jones.

Maester Catfish and General Kaiba watched the king sign the contract, feeling quite sad but helpless.

However, they also knew that the pirates who would protect this place after "Whitebeard" would not be able to do so without asking for anything in return.

Each "Yonko" has its own unique indicators.

The criteria for being protected by "Aunt" are to recognize this place as "Aunt's" territory, raise the "Aunt's" flag, and pay 10 tons of snacks every month.

The pirate group under "Big Mom" ​​will be able to settle on Fish-Man Island, not only to protect the place, but also to guard Ryugu City to prevent it from committing rebellious acts.

Of course, if the Sun Pirates of Fish-Man Island itself join "Big Mom"'s forces and station troops here on behalf of "Big Mom", then there won't be so much trouble.

"Hundred Beasts" Kaido wants to produce weapons and equipment, human-animal-like Devil Fruit ability users, etc.

To a certain extent, compared to Kaido and Charlotte Lingling, and even compared to the "World Government", Davy Jones wants less.

Neptune thought of "Big Mom" ​​and couldn't help but anxiously scratched the orange beard on his chin and said:
"Captain Davy Jones, since Fish-Man Island is now your territory, I need to remind you that 'Big Mom' Charlotte Lingling has always been eyeing Fish-Man Island."

"I've heard about it a long time ago." Davy Jones took out his pipe. "She and Kaido are currently busy devouring Whitebeard's territory. Sooner or later, they will focus on this place when they come back to their senses."

His many tentacles took out the tobacco and the matchbox from his arms, and with a snap, the match was lit, and his tentacles pressed it on the tobacco, and soon he took a puff of the cigarette.

Neptune nodded, his red nose arched on his fluffy beard, and told all the information he knew:

"The 'Big Mom Pirates' has Charlotte Lingling as its core and uses blood as a link to connect the entire 'Totland Kingdom'. Her children have nearly a hundred people and hold various important positions."

"Among them, the 'Four Dessert Stars' Katakuri, Smoothie, Cracker, and Snag are undoubtedly the four strongest combatants under 'Auntie', especially the top three, with extraordinary strength. .”

"'Auntie' vows to demand that Fish-Man Island surrender to her. No matter which one of the 'Four Dessert Generals' comes to Fish-Man Island, we alone will not be able to withstand 'Auntie''s anger. .”

"Really?" Davy Jones was quite disapproving. Instead, he was more concerned about another thing.

"Let's not talk about 'Aunt' for now. I am more concerned about Fish-Man Island itself."

What about Fishman Island itself?Neptune raised his head in confusion. Is there anything more important than Big Mom's threat?

Davy Jones asked directly: "Fishman Island is the hub connecting 'Paradise' and 'New World', why don't you charge tolls?"

Tolls?Can we still charge tolls?
Neptune was stunned for a moment before replying: "We don't want to cause too much trouble..."

Fishman Island has always been the one being oppressed and persecuted. If it can protect its citizens from being invaded by pirates and being kidnapped above the sea, everything will be fine.Neptune's rule has always been like this, and the people have accepted this, thinking that Neptune has done enough.

Davy Jones exhaled smoke from the hollow tentacles and interrupted with a smile: "I understand that you are unwilling to follow the pirates' behavior, but today is different from the past, and Fish-Man Island needs to make some changes."

Neptune looked at each other with Maester Catfish and General Seahorse, and then asked cautiously: "What kind of change?"

Davy Jones talks about "change".

"From now on, no matter whether it is a merchant ship, a passenger ship or a pirate ship, passing through here will need to pay protection fees and tolls."

"In contrast, the Davy Jones Pirates will ensure the safety of the entire submarine route from the Shampoo Islands to Fish-Man Island, and then from Fish-Man Island to the 'New World'."

"Of course, they can also go to the 'Red Earth Continent' or the 'Windless Zone', or they can enter the 'New World' directly from the bottom of the sea without stopping at Fish-Man Island for supplies..."

Davy Jones's voice suddenly became deeper: "If they choose the undersea route and encounter some 'attack', but do not pay the fee, then I can only wish them good luck."

Under the deep sea, it is originally the territory of the "Kraken" Kulaken, "Manatee" Moo and others. They still retain the ferocity and wildness of the giant beasts in the sea, so it is not surprising that they will do something.

Neptune, Maester Catfish and General Kaiba felt a chill on their backs. They clearly understood that this was not a "reminder" but a "threat".
-
After Davy Jones had a serious talk with Neptune, he attended a grand dinner in Ryugu City and met Shirahoshi again.

Bai Xing supported Shark Xing to attend the banquet. The two siblings were not similar in appearance. The prince looked majestic, while the princess was delicate and beautiful.

Shark Star was still wrapped in a bandage, but he was wearing a robe so it couldn't be seen, but his face looked a little haggard.

The brother and sister once again thanked Davy Jones.

Shark Star already knew everything that happened later from his sister, including his gratitude to Davy Jones and his worries about the future of Fish-Man Island.

But whether they are willing or not, from now on, the fate of Dragon Palace City, and even the entire Fish-Man Island, will be tied to the great pirate Davy Jones.

Wherever the Davy Jones Pirates' chariot goes, Fish-Man Island will follow.

After the dinner, Davy Jones rested for another night in Ryugu Castle, and then left the place in a hurry the next morning, heading to the Forest of the Sea.

After a day and night of fermentation of public opinion, coupled with the guidance of Arrita's money, when Davy Jones walked on the street, everything was different.

The residents of Fish-Man Island looked at him with a sense of security in addition to fear.

Before that, it was Newgate, Tiger, Jinbe, Neptune and others who gave them this sense of stability.

Now that Newgate and Tiger are dead, Jinbei is missing, and Neptune is alone, Fish-Man Island really needs a strong injection.

Perhaps Davy Jones is this force.They all thought secretly in their hearts, but no one dared to approach Davy Jones.

Davy Jones came to the Sea Forest in the southeast of Fishman Island, where the Terror Ghost was still docked.

A group of people gathered here bustlingly. It was Arrita, Xiaohachi and others who brought all the "supernovas" here according to the original plan.

In addition, there is an acquaintance and a stranger appearing here.

When Arrita saw the captain, she took off her white hat from a distance and walked over quickly. She saw that the captain was surprised by the appearance of the two men, so she explained:
"Captain, you know Mrs. Charlie. From now on, she will voluntarily serve as the core figure of our intelligence and public opinion on Fish-Man Island, and the Mermaid Cafe she rebuilt on Coral Hill will become our subordinate organization. "

"Why did this woman suddenly change her mind?" Davy Jones still remembered the first time he met her in the Waterless Land and outside the Fang City. She was still quite resistant to their group.

Although the relationship between Mrs. Charlie and Aaron is not good, they are related by blood after all. The only thing that can make her put aside her resistance is the benefits that she cannot refuse.

However, the interests that Mrs. Charlie wants are different. It is not money or power, but the future of Fish-Man Island is controlled by the fish-men and mermaids, and it leads to the right path.

Arrita simply relayed Mrs. Charlie's thoughts.

"Mrs. Charlie just believes that we can protect Fish-Man Island and guide Fish-Man Island in a new direction, and perhaps indirectly realize Princess Otohime's wish."
