Pirates, Start with the vampire fruit and rescue the empress

Half a month later.

Fishman Island, Dragon Palace.

In a spacious corridor, Sephiroth, who was wrapped in round bubbles and separated from the sea water, walked slowly behind Neptune.

“How is Princess Otohime’s recovery going?”

“Thanks to Sir Sephiroth’s surgery, Otohime is now able to get out of bed.

I will definitely remember your great kindness…

In the future, if you need me for anything, just ask and I will do my best to help! ”

I want your daughter Bai Xing, will you give it to me too? ….. Sephiroth first muttered to himself, and then he said in a half-joking, half-serious tone:

“Yeah?

Then when I really need your help in the future, I won’t be able to deny it! ”

“Hahaha! No problem, just ask when the time comes…”

The two of them walked and chatted, and soon arrived at the door of a high tower. Its name was the hard-shell tower. It was the strongest building in the entire Dragon Palace. Even if it was bombarded with cannons, it could not be broken.

Suddenly!

A huge ax flew in from outside Dragon Palace City, passed through the heavy sea water, and struck directly on the huge wooden gate of the high-speed railway with a “bang!” The ax blade was deeply embedded in the wooden board. Nailed on it.

Sephiroth pretended to be confused and pretended to be surprised:

“How is this going……?”

“This is a pirate named Vander Daken IX. He launched an attack on my daughter Shirahoshi…

Since the square incident, he suddenly proposed marriage to my daughter.

How could I marry my daughter to a pirate, so I sent people to capture him.

Unexpectedly, this guy threatened that since he couldn’t get my daughter, he would destroy her!

So, he started to launch terrorist attacks on my daughter every day…

For Bai Xing’s safety, I can only let her live in a hard-shell tower temporarily.

Otohime was worried that Shirahoshi would be scared by herself, so they moved into the tower to stay with her. ”

“I see… Since it’s pirates who are causing trouble, I, the navy, can’t just sit idly by and ignore it.

Where is Vander Deken’s stronghold?

Let me help you catch him!”

Hearing this, Neptune suddenly looked happy and said with a smile:

“Hahaha! Thank you so much!

I received the latest news that that guy has a temporary base in a house on Fishman Street…”

While the two were talking, Neptune reached out and gently pushed open the hard-shell tower, opening the door a crack.

After Sephiroth entered the tower, Neptune closed the door again to prevent Vander Deken from throwing weapons and attacking White Star again.

Inside the hard-shell tower, there are two large beds and some furnishings.

Princess Otohime, with a white bandage on her chest, was lying on a large white bed, with Shirahoshi standing beside her bed.

“Mr. Sephiroth, thank you for saving my mother earlier.”

With that said, Bai Xing, who was only six years old and over five meters tall, spoke softly towards him and bowed slightly to express his gratitude.

What on earth did you eat to grow so big at the age of six? ……… Sephiroth responded with a smile while making a comeback in his mind:

“You’re welcome. After all, I happened to be there at the time, so I saved Princess Otohime.”

“White Star, Lord Sephiroth just said that he is going to capture Vander Deken.

With his strength, you will be able to leave the hard-shell tower in no time, and you won’t have to worry anymore! ” Neptune said with a smile.

“is this real?”

Hearing this, Bai Xing immediately beamed with joy, and even smiled with two cute dimples on his cheeks.

“Of course, after all, that guy Vander Deken is really too crazy…

How could I let him attack the lovely Princess Shirahoshi every day! Sephiroth said with a smile.

Suddenly hearing someone calling him cute, Bai Xing couldn’t help but lowered his head shyly.

“Mr. Sephiroth, I’m really troubling you in every sense of the word…

For this, I would like to express my sincerest gratitude to you! ”

As Princess Otohime spoke, she got out of bed with difficulty, nodded slightly and bowed towards him.

Considering that he directly spent hundreds of years of reserve life in order to save the other party, Sephiroth accepted the other party’s thanks very calmly.

“Huh!?…Princess Otohime, after you recover from your injury, you are still going to give speeches and advocate for fish people to move to land.

……? Sephiroth said after considering it.

“Yes, now we are only one step away from moving to land!” Otohime nodded slightly.

“There are some things I think I should tell you…

Life on land is not as beautiful as you imagine.

Fishman Island can be as comfortable as it is now, mainly thanks to Whitebeard’s protection and the island’s special geographical location.

Once you move to land, you will no longer have the natural danger of geographical location, and the number of fish-men slaves who covet you will increase in number, and Whitebeard’s deterrent power cannot make everyone fear him.

By then, more and more of you murlocs will be captured and sold as slaves…

Um! Among them, Tianlong people are probably the most loyal buyers. ”

“No, the Tianlong people have signed a friendly agreement with us fish people…”

“Which Celestial Dragon signed…?”

“The patriarch of the Don Quixote family.”

Hearing this, Sephiroth couldn’t help but feel a little sarcasm in his tone:

“The Don Quixote family…?

They are just one of the nineteen Draconian families in the Holy Land Mariejoia. It would be great if that agreement can bind the Don Quixote family!

If you want to restrain all the Celestial Dragons, then you should go to the Wulaoxing family to sign for confirmation, rather than the Don Quixote family, which has no authority among the Celestial Dragons!

However, I guess Wulaoxing didn’t pay attention to you at all, right? ”

“…”

Sephiroth’s words touched upon the issue that Princess Otohime was least willing to face.

She once asked to meet the Five Old Stars in the Holy Land of Mariejoia, but the five superior Celestial Dragon leaders only replied:

I am busy with official duties and have no time to meet you!

Wulaoxing’s meaning was beyond words, they didn’t want to talk to him at all…

Therefore, Otohime could only settle for the next best thing. It took her several days to reluctantly convince the current patriarch of the Don Quixote family and obtain a signed letter from the other party. She hoped that in the future, she could promote the migration of fishmen to land at the World Conference. possibility.

Facing Sephiroth’s successive blows, Otohime was silent for a moment, then clenched her fists, and a light of hope appeared in her eyes:

“We murlocs may face many difficulties after we move to land in the future, but I believe that one day, murlocs and humans will achieve peaceful coexistence…”

“Peaceful coexistence…?

Regardless of the external causes, let’s talk about the internal causes!

Fishmen Street is filled with many fishmen who hate humans!

Take Hody, for example, in order to stop you, he assassinated you half a month ago.

Then you can imagine, after those fish-people who are hostile to humans move to land, will they adopt methods similar to Hodi’s to intensify the conflict between fish-people and humans, causing conflicts between the two races? There’s a war! ? ”

“…”

Hearing these words, Otohime fell into silence again.

Indeed, Hody did not hesitate to shoot and assassinate her in order to provoke conflict between fish people and humans.

If those murlocs who hate humans move to land and assassinate royal families in other countries, the consequences will be disastrous!

An all-out war between fishmen and humans may begin immediately!

“Also, I want to ask a question, how many residents are there on your Fish-Man Island?”

Princess Otohime replied subconsciously:

“About five million…”

“With a population of five million…the only country that can steadily exceed the number of residents on your Fish-Man Island is the Kingdom of Alabasta in Paradise!

May I ask, which country would be willing to accept so many foreign residents? ?

Aren’t they worried about the magpie’s nest being occupied by doves?

Moreover, by what means are you going to acquire land where five million people live?

Which country would cede its land to you so easily? ”

“…”

Under Sephiroth’s series of questions, the hope in Otohime’s eyes gradually extinguished, and she slumped on the bed helplessly, not knowing how to refute.

After a long time, two lines of tears flowed down from Princess Otohime’s eyes, and she said with a choked voice:

“I just hope that everyone can live under the sun and don’t have to be trapped in this dark seabed, enduring limited resources and living a life of poverty and hardship…”

The Fish-Man Island is located in the deep sea 10,000 meters below. Without the light and oxygen provided by Yangshu Eve, which can be used to grow food, the murlocs would not be able to survive for a long time under 10,000 meters in the deep sea just by relying on deep-sea plants.

Survive.

but……

There are limits to the light and oxygen that Yangshu Eve can provide!

The current population of Fish-Man Island is almost reaching the red line…

If things continue like this, great internal conflicts will break out in Fish-Man Island sooner or later. It will be inevitable to launch a war with the outside world to seize the living space!

That’s why Princess Otohime worked so hard for the fishmen to immigrate…

What she hopes is to resolve this huge hidden danger through peaceful means before the conflict completely breaks out!

“Princess Otohime, if you can solve the internal problems of Fishman Island itself and prevent the migrating fishmen from causing trouble, I can let you live under the sun and provide you with a place suitable for survival.

Of course, you also need to pay a corresponding price…”

Hearing this, Princess Otohime’s eyes widened instantly, and she looked at Sephiroth in front of her with an incredulous expression.

She never expected that the other party would give her hope again after successively attacking her hope of moving to land…

“is this real!?”

“of course it’s true……

However, the place you want to move to is not the land above the sea, but the land above the sky.

Moreover, your migration does not need to be discussed by the World Conference, it only needs my approval! Sephiroth said with a smile.

Kongdao has been carrying out seven or eight years of cloud filling and land reclamation projects, which has expanded its area six to seven times. In addition to mineral resources, all kinds of daily necessities are basically completely self-sufficient!

but……

This also raises a problem. The vast land and sparse population are secondary issues, but the most important problem is that the shellfish factory is short of people to screw screws!

Although Aizhak has developed an industrial robot that can carry out military production, it is not of much help to the shellfish farms. In addition, on the Sky Island, Sephiroth has been implementing a closed-door policy to minimize its contact with the outside world. Information exchange to prevent its existence from being detected by the world government.

Or…

The World Government has actually been aware of the existence of Sky Island for a long time. However, considering that it is located at an altitude of 10,000 meters and is in an easy-to-defend and difficult-to-attack terrain, it has not yet made a decision as to whether it should send troops to attack…! ?

The sales volume of the shellfish industry is increasing year by year. In order to completely promote shellfish tools to the world, Sephiroth has been considering how to continue to steadily expand the scale of the breeding farm and increase the population of Sky Island.

Now, Otohime’s plan to emigrate fishmen is a good opportunity for him!

First, he can let the murlocs move to the empty island through labor dispatch and expand the industrial value of shellfish tools.

Secondly, it gives him more opportunities to plot the ancient weapon Poseidon… the White Star!

“The land above the sky…?

How can there be land in the sky…” Princess Otohime murmured to herself.

Neptune thought for a while, then he said in slight surprise:

“Sir Sephiroth, are you talking about Sky Island?

I once heard my friend Roger say that there are sky islands above 10,000 meters in the sky. ”

“That’s right! The Sky Island God’s Kingdom is my territory. Even if you want to immigrate millions of people, I have enough space to accommodate it.” Sephiroth smiled and nodded.

As long as there are enough manpower and enough soil, the cloud-filling and land-filling project can continue. The land and other things are more than enough!

Seemingly thinking of something, Sephiroth added:

“Of course, I will only allow those fishmen who are not hostile to humans to immigrate.

Those who have evil intentions, forgive me for rejecting them! ”

Although Otohime sensed that the words spoken by the young man were all true through seeing and hearing Sehaki, she still couldn’t help but frown and asked:

“Uh!?…Mr. Sephiroth, aren’t you a marine?

Why do you have your own territory…? ”

“As a Marine, what’s wrong with me having a side job? Is there any problem?”

“…”×3

Next, Sephiroth discussed other related matters with Otohime and Neptune before leaving the kingdom.

……………………….

Fishman Island, Fishman Street.

In a wooden house wrapped in bubbles, Vander Deken was sitting on a chair, lying in front of the desk, writing a love letter to Bai Xing.

As a user with the target fruit ability, he can use the fruit ability to make the thrown objects fly to the people he has touched, and the objects will fly during the flight.

Medium, unless it hits the target or is intercepted, it will not slow down!

Ten days ago, he took advantage of the chaos and touched Bai Xing’s arm on the Geelong Court Square, marking Bai Xing with his own ability, so that all the objects he threw could fly to Bai Xing’s side.

He initially threw love letters, but after being rejected, started throwing various weapons.

After Vander Deken had just finished throwing the axe, he suddenly felt that he should give Shirahoshi a chance to change his ways.

After all, Bai Xing is his future bride, and he should be more tolerant and generous…

While Vander Decken was thinking wildly and writing a love letter, a black bat wrapped in bubbles flew into the house from the window of the wooden house at an extremely fast speed, “Whoosh!” .

While Vander Deken was stunned, a spatial folding door suddenly opened in his wooden house, and a silver-haired young man holding a long knife stepped out of the door.

“Who are you……?”

“Your captor!”

“Why did you catch me…”

Before Vander Deken finished speaking, Sephiroth stepped forward and punched the opponent in the face, knocking him unconscious.

Then, Sephiroth directly carried Vander Deken and walked into the space door, disappearing into the wooden house…
