Chapter 1301: Promise

"Lord Liyuan, you ...... Do you like it?" Bai Xing looked at Guan Liyuan with some embarrassment.

At this time, Guan Liyuan wore a "huge shell necklace" around his neck......

That's right, this is Bai Xing's "return gift" to Guan Liyuan, which was made by her own hands - the fish-people have no taboos about the use of shellfish materials.

It's just that...... For Bai Xing, he has tried to make the shell necklace as small as possible, each shell is only the size of his thumb nail, but Guan Liyuan, who is three meters five tall and is very burly among humans, still has some Sha Wujing's painting style after wearing it around his neck - each has its own skull size!

"Well, I like it very much, and I've wanted to try this style of painting for a long time. Guan Liyuan nodded.

After all, Guan Liyuan estimated that if he showed a little embarrassment, Bai Xing would definitely cry to him every minute.

"Lord Liyuan...... So fast...... Are you leaving?" said Shirahoshi aggrievedly.

"That's right, because there's still a lot of ......"

Guan Liyuan hadn't finished speaking, only to hear Bai Xing's cry already coming: "Woo woo...... It's because you hate me...... Sorry ......"

Shirahoshi himself has a relatively cowardly personality, and his special experience makes him unusually sensitive and delicate in his heart.

"No, no, no, of course not, otherwise...... How could I help you get rid of Dai Ken?" Guan Liyuan said.

"Really, really? So Mr. Liyuan drove away Master Vander Dyken because he liked me?" Shirahoshi immediately stopped crying, sobbing and blushing a little.

Well, although the nerves are delicate, they are also easy to coax......

"That's right, that's it!" Guan Liyuan said righteously.

Although I feel that Shirahoshi's statement is a bit inconsistent, it ...... Now in this situation, does Guan Liyuan still have a choice? Can't let her continue to cry, right?

"I see...... But...... Mr. Liyuan...... I...... Still...... It's only been four years to ......," Shirahoshi said with a snort.

In Bai Xing's brain supplement, Guan Liyuan had already driven away another suitor, Vander Dyken, in order to pursue himself!

At the same time, Bai Xing didn't say anything like "You are not my type of person" to Guan Liyuan, but wanted to express implicitly that he was still underage.

"Four years? it doesn't take that long, and if it goes well, we'll see you again soon. Guan Liyuan thought that Bai Xing wanted to talk to him and see him again in four years.

"No, doesn't it take four years......? Isn't it ......" Shirahoshi's eyes began to "draw circles".

"Don't you want to see the outside world and see the sun, the forest and the snow with your own eyes?" Guan Liyuan asked.

Hearing this, Bai Xing was diverted from the topic just now, and asked curiously: "Eh, can I?" My father and brothers said that it was very dangerous outside, and there were many ...... Someone as bad as Lord Vander Duncan ......"

"Don't worry, just drive away all those bad guys, one day...... The time will come when humans and fish-people will truly coexist as equals, and that day will come true in our generation!" Guan Liyuan said.

Well, it might feel strange if Luffy was here - why do you claim to be my uncle, but you are still the same generation as the fourteen-year-old Princess Shirahoshi?

"The queen mother's dream back then wasn't illusory, was it? But Lord Tiger ...... back then," Shirahoshi said with a snort.

"Your queen mother is right, the hero Tiger is right, and it's not all humans who are wrong, but it's useless to just be 'right', and you have to get rid of the 'wrong' guy. Guan Liyuan said solemnly.

From Pierre, Guan Liyuan also learned the real thoughts of the fish-people in the hearts of the fish-people now.

As far as most of the fish-people are concerned, the "deepest" of their hearts is to enjoy the real sunshine on the surface of the sea, and many of the older fish-people are influenced by Princess Otohime, and most of the new generation of fish-people are curious about all kinds of new things after seeing the human ships coming from the sea.

But that's just "the depths"!

In fact, the older fish-people were all hurt by humans because of what happened to Tiger and Princess Otohime, and they longed for the sea "in the depths", but in fact, they were pressed with layers of "vigilance" and "rejection......

As for the young fish-people...... Since childhood, I have grown up with words such as "disobedient children will be taken away by humans" and "don't talk to strange humans, or you will be eaten".

Therefore, the ordinary residents of Fish-Man Island are in this critical "swing period"!

In Guan Liyuan's view, the purpose of Tiger and Otohime is not contradictory, it seems that Tiger wanted to break with humanity at the beginning, but his actual actions are not the case, and it can even be said that since the Age of Discovery, "striving for peaceful coexistence" on Fish-Man Island has been divided into three stages.

One of them is that Tiger formed the Sun Pirates, nominally clamoring for a "break with humanity", but in fact Tiger never killed any enemies, with the purpose of liberation and freedom, and when liberating slaves, he also treated all races equally......

The Three Sisters of Nine Snake Island and the Kerra of the Revolutionary Army...... They were all rescued when Tiger was making trouble with Mary Joy.

Tiger is not so much trying to break with humanity as he is looking forward to a kind of deterrent peaceful coexistence, but the purpose is not clear.

Later, Princess Otohime used her personality charm on Fish-Man Island to guide her people, and helped the Mustarud Saint who was exiled to Fish-Man Island, and even influenced this idiot Draco.

Before Princess Otohime was killed by Hody Jones, it seemed that she was closer to success than Tiger - she had already lobbied and persuaded the Draconians, and at the same time accumulated a lot of signatures from the people on the island......

Princess Otohime's pursuit is undoubtedly the most gentle, hope-supreme and hopeful way for humanity to fully accept the peaceful coexistence of the fish-people, which is positive but overly idealistic.

As for the death of Princess Otohime, Neptune is nominally going to inherit the will of his deceased wife, but the third stage under Neptune's leadership...... It can be said to be a negative period!

It is only through the warm reception of the humans who came to Fish-Man Island, and at the same time to encourage the powerful fish-people to go to sea, so as to make humans realize that the fish-people living on the bottom of the sea are not a barbarian people, nor are they "similar to fish", but a civilized country like the land country.

Passively counteracts human prejudice against fishmen, and occasionally promotes the world on the sea on the island - but because of the existence of the slave traps, Neptune does not promote the sea as a safe place.

If Tiger and Otohime were still alive at this time, and Tiger was outside to shock the world government and win over people under the banner of racial equality, and at the same time, there was also Otohime to do positive propaganda to dispel the vigilance of the Fish-People, and then there was Neptune's "show", maybe it wouldn't be long before the Fish-People would be able to come to the sea.

But there is no "if"!

The deaths of Tiger and Otohime have nearly halted the path of peaceful coexistence between the Fish-People and humans, and ...... Because the Fish-Man Clan did not know the real cause of death of the two, they even further "pulled" Fish-Man Island back to the deep sea.

It is precisely because of this that Neptune did not give Guan Liyuan too clear a clear answer before, but only promised that no matter what the circumstances, Fish-Man Island would not take the initiative to be the enemy of the revolutionary army, and as for whether to cooperate, Neptune could not give an exact statement!

Guan Liyuan could see that Neptune was not worried about sacrifice, but he had not yet decided whether to fight once, and he was also unsure whether it was right to move everyone to the sea......

Guan Liyuan didn't force this, but just told Neptune the results of the investigation into the cause of Princess Otohime's death - how to reveal it with complete evidence after that was a matter for Neptune.

"Mr. Liyuan, that ...... If one day, when the queen mother's ideal is realized on Fish-Man Island, we will see you again!" Bai Xing said, holding a little finger so thick and long in front of Guan Liyuan.

"Yes, it's agreed. Guan Liyuan said and touched her with his little thumb.
