Fish-Man Island, located in the deep sea 10,000 meters below Yangshu Eve, but because of Yangshu Eve, it gets sunlight, and it is also the residence of the fish-man and mermaid people.

Fish-Man Island is the "territory" of the Dragon Palace Kingdom, which is divided into two parts by two huge membrane bubbles, the first and largest part is the main body of Fish-Man Island, and the other part is the seat of the king, Dragon Palace Castle, which stands above Fish-Man Island and is connected to Fish-Man Island by a huge pipe in Guò.

And right now, in Ryugu Castle, King Neptune and Princess Otohime, who were about to meet the crow Xiao Bai, were teasing their 5-year-old daughter, Shirahoshi.

"Lovely Shirahoshi, I really hope that you can see the real sunshine in your lifetime." Looking at her daughter lovingly, Otohime said expectantly.

The move of the Ju tribe to the surface and live with humans is a concept she has been promoting on Fish-Man Island for many years, but unfortunately with little success. If before the era of the sea pirates, the fish-people and merfolk only cared about humans, then with the advent of the era of the sea pirates, the sharp increase in slave traders made the attitude of the fish-people and mermaids towards humans directly transform into distrust, disgust and even hatred.

Of course, extremists are a minority after all, after all, the mermaids and mermaids also know that human beings are also divided into all kinds, although there are humans in the world who regard catching merfolk as making money, but there are also humans who will protect merfolk in turn.

But wealth touches people's hearts. This is a truth that has been unbreakable since ancient times. As more and more slave traders go crazy, Fish-Man Island slowly becomes disgusted and hated by other humans.

One can imagine how difficult it would be for Otohime to do what he wanted to do under such circumstances. But Otohime still doesn't want to give up, even if it wasn't that long ago that she felt extremely sad to hear Tiger's heart.

She knows Tiger, and Tiger will never forgive humans again in his life, but because of this, Tiger will never deepen this hatred, at least, in terms of expectations for the new generation, Tiger is the same as her.

"Honey, maybe it was a mistake for Tiger to go back to Fish-Man Island." After putting Shirahoshi to sleep, the couple left Shirahoshi's bedroom, and as soon as they went out, Otohime expressed her worries to Neptune with some concern, "I'm not worried about Tiger, but I'm worried about others." ”

"But Otohime, pirates, and slave traders, their numbers are too numerous to deal with in the territory." The king of the Dragon Palace Kingdom, Neptune said to his beloved wife helplessly.

Protecting the people is obviously more important than the propaganda of the idea, and if he cooperates with Tiger's Sun Pirates and can solve the mermaid catching incident that is starting to deteriorate again, he will not mind at all. For a long time, it was the humans themselves who made Fish-Man Island distrust humans, and Neptune was born as a warrior after all, not as gentle and kind as Otohime.

He is not a racist, but he will definitely resist in a more violent way in the face of aggression against his kind, and although he will not reach the level of Tiger, he can definitely not be compared to his wife.

"Okay, don't worry, we'll try to pay attention, killing people won't solve the problem, Tiger and I know this very well." Neptune didn't seem to want to discuss this with his wife, and he whispered to Otohime, "And the key is to get Tiger back first." ”

"Aren't you going to see Xiao Bai the crow later? Let's go and take a break first. ”

"His Majesty the King! Her Majesty the Princess! "Suddenly, a soldier came running,

"There is an emergency communication from the port, a human ship has forcibly left the port, the National Guard believes that they are human slave traders, and asks the Sea King Army to pursue it immediately!"

"What!?" Neptune was furious, "Damn slave traders! The Sea King Army immediately dispatched to catch up, don't let it run away. ”

He's furious, his wife is hell-bent on living in peace with humans, but these damn human traffickers! I can't forgive! It has been almost 200 years since the Dragon Palace joined the world government, but it is these damn slave traders, who openly ignore the reality that the Dragon Palace Kingdom is also one of the allies, and still do not stop the capture of the Fish-Men or Mermaids, especially the female mermaids, who are the main targets of the slave traders.

"My dear, don't be angry, the more you are at this time, the more calm you must be!" Otohime's anger is not actually below Neptune, but her endurance is a little better than Neptune's.

Born to awaken the domineering spirit of seeing and hearing, although her body is very weak, she can "hear" the voices of others.

Anger can blind reason, and it will suppress the best side of people's personalities, and even though she is so angry that she can't slap those slave traders with her own hands, she will still tell herself not to be manipulated by anger.

It's just that, compared to the Dragon Palace Kingdom, which is always slow to act because of passivity, Calis, as a slave trader, is in a completely different mood.

"Haha, stupid fish, a mermaid can sell for tens of millions! Why should Lao Tzu hand it over!? Calis smirked and yelled at his men,

"Little ones, get out of here, don't let those 'fish' catch up." With that, he stepped out of the cabin.

In the cabin, there were several humanoids lying at this time, they were the "reason" that made Calis choose to forcibly rush to the harbor just now - it was several mermaid girls, now they were all tightly tied and covered with their mouths, and when they saw Calis, they struggled and whined. Young and beautiful female mermaids are always the favorite of slave traders, because the most willing to spend money on female mermaid slaves are the most willing to buy.

"It's beautiful." Licking his lips, Calis crouched down and pinched the cheek of one of the female merfolk.

"If you were human, I wouldn't be in love with you." He laughed teasingly, enjoying the wonderful touch in his hand, ignoring the angry and desperate gaze in the mermaid eyes of his **.

It's a pity that Calis's good mood today didn't last long, because soon, he was tragic.

At a depth of 10,000 meters, a violent snowstorm suddenly blew, and Calis's group of pirate ships, which were fleeing arrogantly, were fixed in the frozen sea. Suddenly, a man's voice came.

"Ice World."

"Really." Xiao Bai looked at the frozen pirate ship in front of him, and sighed helplessly: "Why are there slave traders everywhere." ”
