Chapter 289: Calling
After a long time.
The accountability of the members of the new Fish-Man Pirates, the pacification of the inhabitants of Fish-Man Island, the liberation of human slaves...
All these troublesome things were dumped by Galen to the officials of Ryugu City and the navy of the Smoker Division.
And Galen himself came to the royal cemetery in the Sea Forest with her at the request of Shirahoshi...
Worship the mother-in-law.
It's like a real son-in-law.
"Mother..."
"Mr. Galen and I have come to see you."
There were tears in Bai Xing's eyes, but there was a happy smile on the corner of his mouth.
She had been trapped in a hard-shell tower since she was six years old, unable to even fulfill her wish to pay respects at her mother's grave.
And now, she's finally free.
Shirahoshi folded his hands and muttered to himself in front of his mother's mausoleum:
"The bad guys who killed you have already been killed by Mr. Galen."
"Mother, I know it's wrong..."
"But, I'm happy now."
Wiping away tears, Shirahoshi continued to tell his deceased mother:
"And..."
"Thanks to Mr. Galen's efforts, the inhabitants of Fish-Man Island have now finally agreed with your idea."
"He told me that humans and fish-people will soon be able to understand each other."
"It's just..."
"I've always found Mr. Galen's approach a little strange..."
Hearing Shirahoshi's words, Galen tilted his head a little embarrassed.
But Shirahoshi gently grabbed Galen's arm and pressed it tightly to Galen's side, and the smile on his face became even happier:
"Mother, there's one more important thing for you—"
"I... I am married to Mr. Galen. ”
"My father personally agreed to this, and the inhabitants of the island are blessing us."
"Mr. Galen will take good care of me in the future."
As he spoke, the tears in Bai Xing's eyes poured out more and more, like a clear spring, gushing endlessly.
Legend has it that the tears of the mermaid princess will transform into the most beautiful gem in the world.
Galen looked at the white star who was constantly wiping tears beside him, and knew that there should be one more gem mine in his house in the future.
"Woo..."
Shirahoshi whimpered pitifully, and then unconsciously wrapped himself tighter and tighter around Galen.
Although they haven't known each other for a long time, Shirahoshi has become accustomed to using Galen as a pillow to vent his emotions.
"It's okay, everything will be fine."
Galen gently hugged Shirahoshi, and was also accustomed to comforting himself this crying man... Newlywed wife.
The thought of these four words made Galen's scalp tingle.
But the news has spread all over Fish-Man Island, and it's useless for Galen to admit it if he wants to.
Moreover, Galen really didn't have enough concentration to push away the crying mermaid in his arms.
This is a kind of helplessness of "the enemy army has Gundam", and it is impossible to resist at all.
"Galen?"
Galen's heart suddenly sounded the voice of the golden lion:
"Nami is looking for you..."
The golden lion's voice became a little gloomy: "Call." ”
Galen's breath froze.
"Mr. Galen?"
Shirahoshi felt Galen's sudden tense body, and looked up in some confusion.
"No, it's okay..."
Galen forced himself to compose, and then communicated with Nami through the golden lion in his heart:
"Nami, what's wrong?"
Nami's voice was full of worry, and when she put it in the golden lion's mouth, she became indifferent:
"Galen, are you safe now?"
"Do you want us to go down to the sea to help you?"
Naturally, the golden lion was not worried at all, he didn't believe that there would be any "unknown creatures" under the sea that could hurt Galen's monster.
"To the sea? No, no, no. ”
Galen was even more nervous, and couldn't help but exert a little more strength.
"Ahh
Bai Xing exclaimed, and the soft voice with a crying tone suddenly became a little urgent:
"Mr. Galen!"
"You... You're holding too tightly. ”
"I'm sorry."
Galen immediately let go and apologized: "I accidentally hurt you." ”
"What?!"
"Who did you hurt?"
"Galen, what the hell are you doing now!"
The demonic roar of the golden lion resounded in Galen's heart, perfectly restoring Nami's mood from worry to rage.
"Ahem..."
Galen's heart sank, and he immediately replied in his heart in a serious manner:
"I was just talking on the phone and accidentally bumped into someone while walking."
"Oh?"
Nami was a little skeptical, but she didn't dig deeper.
She paused, and then became somewhat concerned about Galen's safety:
"And what about the unidentified creature you encountered earlier?"
"Have you already defeated it?"
"Uh..."
Galen looked down at Bai Xing, who was still in his arms and touching tears, and his face became a little strange:
"That unidentified creature..."
"I've already surrendered."
Bai Xing noticed the strange look on Galen's face, and immediately looked up cautiously and asked:
"Mr. Galen?"
The soft and glutinous voice and shy and timid eyes made Galen's heart ripple again.
Galen couldn't help but start a philosophical speculation in his mind:
Is it that he submitted the "unknown creature", or the "unknown creature" submitted him...
"Ugh..."
With the exciting feeling of "firecrackers in the ammunition depot", Galen temporarily stabilized Nami and hung up the voice broadcast of the golden lion.
"Let's go back first."
Galen took Shirahoshi's arm and prepared to take her back to Fish-Man Island.
"Yes!"
Shirahoshi smiled and nodded, and the beautiful fishtail danced happily unconsciously.
"Lord Galen!"
A hurried voice suddenly sounded in the quiet sea forest.
The one who came was the herald guard of Ryugu Castle.
Because Galen is currently being personally revealed by Princess Shirahoshi and acquiesced by King Neptune, his attitude towards Galen is very respectful:
"Lord Galen!"
"There's an urgent matter on Fish-Man Island, and you need to go there yourself."
"In a hurry?"
Galen was a little puzzled:
"Are there still rebels who refuse to surrender?"
"Or is it that the Rain no Kiru gang that disappeared before is back?"
"Nope."
The herald's face was embarrassed:
"It's a human problem."
"When we released the human captives, we found a gang of human traffickers inside."
It turns out that in today's Fish-Man Island riots, in addition to the navy, many of the humans captured were merchants and pirates passing by.
The pirates who were screened out would naturally be taken away by the Smoker Department to deal with it.
And those merchants will be sent back to the docks by the guards of Dragon Palace City, and find a way to make up for their losses.
However, at this time...
However, in the ship of one of the merchants, the guards found many fellow fish-people who had just been kidnapped, and among them there were even a few mermaid girls who had no price on the sea.
Such a discovery naturally aroused the anger in the hearts of the fish people.
The hatred that had just been suppressed by Galen's bullet was rekindled.
"Human traffickers?"
There was a hint of coldness in Galen's eyes: "I see. ”
........................................
Fish-Man Island, Marina.
A group of traffickers who had been beaten to the ground with bruised noses and swollen faces collapsed on the ground like dead dogs, panting for breath.
And the hundreds of fish people around who heard the news all looked at these humans with hatred, and their extreme emotions were secretly fermenting.
Under the guidance of the herald, Galen and Shirahoshi quickly arrived at the scene.
"Lord Galen has arrived!"
The originally noisy dock suddenly fell silent.
But the fishmen's eyes looking at Galen were a little complicated-
Although Galen is already a colt of the mermaid kingdom, he is still a human after all.
He dealt with the Hoddy Jones gang mercilessly, so...
And what will he do with his fellow human beings?
Everyone was looking forward to Galen's answer.
Galen looked at the humans who had been educated by Hody Jones and his gang and later the people of Fish-Man Island, and just asked casually:
"Are you sure it's a human trafficker?"
"Sure!"
One of the Dragon Palace Castle guards replied:
"Those dozens of captured Fish-Man Island compatriots can prove their crimes."
"So what are you waiting for?"
Without hesitation, Galen replied:
"Bleed them with a knife and marinate them with a layer of sea salt."
"Hang on the dock to set an example."
"Huh?"
The fish people were a little surprised.
They imagined that Galen would deal with it fairly, but they didn't expect this Dragon Palace colt to be so cruel to his own kind.
"Mr. Galen..."
Shirahoshi asked with some hesitation:
"Isn't that too much?"
"Aren't we doing this like Hoddy Jones?"
"Same as Hody Jones?"
Galen shook his head, his attitude very firm:
"Nope."
"I will only hate human traffickers more than him!"
Galen stepped forward and plunged his greatsword directly in front of the traffickers.
"If you treat people as commodities, these guys are already disqualified as human beings."
"Such a monster..."
"There's no need to understand each other with them!"
So saying, Galen said to the fishmen beside him:
"Don't waste time, do it!"
"If you encounter human traffickers in the future, you will be dealt with in this way."
The method sounds cruel, but the fish people rejoice in it.
Unlike Whitebeard's deterrent banner, Galen's methods were more brutal, direct, and powerful.
"Wait!"
The leader of the traffickers suddenly wailed:
"Lord Galen!"
"I—I'm a subordinate of Master Doflamingo, and he's also the same king as you..."
"Please give us a face and let us go!"
With the desire to survive, the trafficker pulled out the tiger skin he was wearing.
Unfortunately, the previous Hody Jones, out of ignorance, ignored this tiger skin;
And now Galen, out of fearlessness, doesn't take this tiger skin in his eyes:
"Doflamingo?"
"Hehe..."
Galen sneered, and didn't bother to talk to the trafficker in front of him.
"It's true!"
The leader of the traffickers thought that Galen didn't believe it, so he trembled and took out a phone bug from his bosom:
"I'm really a subordinate of Master Doflamingo!"
"If you don't believe me, you can call now!"
With that, the trafficker leader actually went to dial the number.
The air at the scene became quiet and tense again.
Among the fishmen present, many people knew the weight of the name Doflamingo.
Even those onlookers who didn't know had just intuitively understood Doflamingo's horror from the sentence "The Seven Martial Seas of His Majesty the same as Galen" from the mouth of the traffickers.
So...
Is Galen really willing to be an enemy of such a powerful fellow human for the sake of Fish-Man Island?
The fishmen stared at Galen closely, expecting Galen's answer.
"Ugh..."
Galen shook his head helplessly, and then lifted the giantization mode.
Then, taking the microphone from the leader of the traffickers, he casually opened his mouth and asked:
"Is it Doflamingo?"
"I'm Torrebol, the highest cadre in the family."
The answer was an unfamiliar voice, apparently not Doflamingo himself.
"Who are you?"
"Why is the phone bug of the captain of the slave catcher in your hands!"
His voice was oppressive.
"I'm Galen."
"Call me that Doflamingo trash."
Then, the oppressive voice suddenly withered.
A moment later...
Doflamingo's recognizable voice appears in the phone bug:
"Galen?"
"Why are you..."
He had only said half a sentence when Galen immediately replied:
"Fish-Man Island is my territory from now on."
"No matter who it is, coming here to hunt slaves is a dead end."
"You?!"
Doflamingo choked hard at Galen's aggressive tone.
But considering the extent of Galen's troubles, Doflamingo still suppressed that anger:
"Understood."
"My subordinates, just leave it at your disposal!"
"No, no, no..."
Galen shook his head and said with a sneer:
"You're mistaken."
"I mean:"
"You wash my neck - waiting for me to go to the New World and kill you."
"What did you say!!"
Doflamingo's anger could no longer be contained.
"The words have been delivered, don't be unpredictable."
Galen hung up.
The fish people looked at each other, and the air boiled instantly.
