As for the idea of realizing the dream of sunshine, is it to conclude a pact with humans, or to live in peace with humans, or to break with humans...... It is all a courageous attempt to step into this abyss full of thorns and strive to open up the road.

However, as Neptune has always been clear, the ideal world in which the Fish-People coexist with humans is only a dream of their ancestors that has long since been destroyed.

Too many mermaids and fish-people fell on this blood-soaked Xiongguan road.

It's just that the people who did this are gone, and someone has to continue to complete it, so he also becomes a seeker.

"Great dreams, wonderful ideals"

Moria opened her hand in appreciation, showing understanding and approval, but then changed her mind.

"But now it seems that this dream is still out of reach, isn't it?"

Without waiting for Neptune to refute, he continued to recount the history of Fish-Man Island, which shocked Neptune to his horror.

"Two hundred years ago, Fish-Man Island joined the World Government, was able to participate in the World Conference for the first time, and was finally recognized as a 'subhuman' rather than a fish, but the disgust and discrimination have never diminished."

“……”

"Thirteen years ago, Fishman Fisher Tiger made trouble in the Holy Land of Mary Joya, attacked the Draconians, freed the slaves, challenged the world government, became a hero, and became a thorn in the side of the world power, resulting in the disqualification of the World Conference on Fish-Man Island"

"Eight years ago, because Princess Otohime rescued the Draconians, she went to Mary Joya and brought back letters from the Draconians who agreed to establish friendly relations between the Fish-People and humans, and obtained the qualification to re-participate in the World Conference, but after Otohime's death, everything came to an end."

“……”

Neptune glared and said with a horrified expression, "How do you know this, could it be that all the events on Fish-Man Island have been spread on the sea, impossible, impossible ......."

In his opinion, these major events, even the people of Fish-Man Island, who are mermaids and fish-people, may not all know about them, and time can bury everything.

Moria shook her head, "How do I know, it doesn't matter, what matters is that the truth is what it is, isn't it?" ”。

Neptune couldn't help but be relieved, it was true, and the important thing was that the current situation of Fish-Man Island was still in the same precarious situation as the history described by Moria.

"So, do you know who is the biggest enemy of the dream of Fish-Man Island?" , Moria's tone was inexplicably low, and he said with a sense of momentum.

"The enemy is, isn't it..."

Neptune blurted out, only to suddenly realize that he couldn't be specific to a certain term, to a certain object.

"Humans? No. ”

"Kingdom nobles? No. ”

"The !! of the world's aristocracy"

"No, no, no, the nobles of the world are Tianlong people."

"The Draconians are gods!"

"World government?"

"But aren't we one of them?"

"How the enemy is them, so what is the point that we have been trying to return to the arena of the World Conference?"

“……”

Neptune, who was scraping his stomach, slowly fell into self-sufficiency, muttering to himself, muttering about his subjects, and then vetoing them.

He is a seeker, but his way, the way of Princess Otohime, is a rigid concept, which has never been expanded in depth, but is only satisfied with the status quo.

If you look at the current state of Fish-Man Island, the answer is obvious.

In the years since the death of Princess Otohime, all he has done is to make the fishmen and merfolk not hate humans, so that they should not become enemies of humans.

As for why he did this, because Princess Otohime did it, he did it, but this kind of practice of drawing a scoop with a gourd is just a pure robot, and he never thought of going further to implement his dream.

So much so that in the past eight years, all this he has done has not brought the long road of the Fish-Man Island dream one step closer, but only stood still, so that he has not been able to attend two consecutive world conferences to initiate the issue of peace.

So much so that in the past eight years, the situation of the fish-people has not been improved in any way, on the contrary, it has become worse, so that it is difficult to move an inch on the ground.

So much so that in the past eight years, the law of Fish-Man Island still explicitly states that "it is forbidden to distribute blood to humans", allowing the "Dark Night Trial" to run rampant.

So much so that in the past eight years, the anger and hatred of Fish-Man Island have become deeper and deeper, and even the sin-filled Fish-Man Street has been ignored intentionally or unintentionally, causing it to sink freely.

……

Neptune is qualified in terms of his responsibilities as a father, but his responsibilities as a king can only be said to be a conservative king who is more than successful and not enterprising.

The already surging "public opinion" under the throne has never taken the initiative to clear or control, but allowed it to develop.

Won't you be able to turn a blind eye and a deaf ear before the day of being overturned, and be a person who covers your ears and steals the bell?

So who is the enemy of the Fish-Man Island dream?

"It's the world!!"

When Neptune heard this word, he couldn't help but be speechless, staring at the three princes who were guiding everyone below, and finally shed tears.

Doesn't he understand?

The enemies of Fish-Man Island are the nobles, the nobles of the world who are high above, the Draco people, and the world government controlled by the Draco people!

And isn't it the whole world that the world government supervises and manages?

Does he really not understand?

Princess Otohime's belief in racial discrimination was caused by the privileges of a small group of nobles.

It is indeed a small part, but it is this small group of world nobles who control the authority of this world and determine the direction of this world.

No, how could he not understand that he could drink with Whitebeard, he just didn't want to think deeply.

In the dead of night, the old fish-man would always be alone on the throne, staring in the direction of Geelongcoud Square, silent.

He always told himself that this was the dream spark left by his princess, even decades ago, Neptune knew very well how cruel the world was to the Fish-People, and the racial shackles had never been broken.

He deeply understands that if he wants to turn over and be the master, no, but on an equal footing, this is a miracle of the lifetime series, and I am afraid that he will never have the opportunity to see his dream blossom in his life.

Otherwise, it would not have been eight hundred years of turbulent years, even the land had not been set foot in, even Noah was about to be forgotten, and even now he is just alive, he has exhausted all his strength.

For the tearful king beside him, as the initiator of the crying man who simply woke up the man who was pretending to be asleep, he still told the cruel reality.

"The enemy of merfolk and mermaids has always been this world."
