Chapter 116 Peace Never Embraces the Weak
A few days later, Riki urgently produced 50 PR-1 and 50 SE-1 each, and Kuro contacted the liaison officer left on the island in Suminokuni and handed them over to Ribech.
Gratuitous.
The name is a 'small gift' to celebrate future collaborations.
Of course, a copy of the instructions for use is also included.
Judging from the expression of the liaison officer after seeing the explanation at that time, he attached great importance to this small gift!
Will believes that a country that has been at war for a long time may not be able to resist its charm.
All he needed was to wait.
Wait for the country to verify the effect.
But what is the saying?
There are no impermeable walls in the world, and there are no eternal secrets in the world.
After a few days, I don't know where Otohime heard the news, so I hurriedly found Will.
Otohime stayed with Will for half a year, greatly increasing her knowledge of human society, and at the same time helping Will train a complete submarine alert network.
The two sides can be described as mutually beneficial.
Will wish she hadn't left the Pirates!
From Otohime, he saw the advantages of multiracial integration.
We're thinking about how we can recruit crews like Fishmen, Furs, and Longhands.
The Giants have already been chosen.
Will hadn't forgotten the agreement he had made with Saulo, but the other party was squatting in the Advance City waiting for his summons.
When he is strong enough, he will definitely organize a one-day tour group to advance the six-story tower of the city.
As for Otohime, she can be said to have a lot of emotion.
When she went to sea, she believed wishfully. As long as she learns enough knowledge of human sociology, she will definitely be able to lead Mermaid Island to integrate into human society and everyone coexist peacefully.
However, Will shattered her illusions from the start.
I still remember the first time he confided in Will the idea of living in harmony with humans on Mermaid Island, Will's reply, "That's impossible." “
Otohime was in a hurry at the time!
That was the first time she had blushed with Will.
The reason why she is angry is precisely because she believes in Will's wisdom and even more in Will's personality, so she is afraid that Will's words will come true!
Will was stunned for a moment, then thought about it carefully, and then changed his words: "To be precise, it is impossible for you to prevent mermaids from being hunted by slave traders, but it is possible for two different races to achieve an environment of peaceful coexistence. “
"Why can't it!" Otohime asked with a blushing face and panting.
"Let me ask you a question first." Will held out his index finger and compared the number of one.
"How do you think you can put an end to human slavery?"
Otohime was dumbfounded, she hadn't even thought about it!
"So, you have to figure out one thing first. Although I hate the existence of slave hunters, I must admit that these people do not treat a particular race in particular.
Whether it is a human, a giant, or a long-handed clan, as long as it is a valuable 'living thing', they will find a way to capture it.
If you really want to put an end to merfolk becoming slaves, then you should be trying to eliminate the existence of slaves and slave traders, and the value that intelligent beings can be bought and sold! “
Otohime opened her mouth, and she wanted to open her mouth to refute, but in her heart she felt that it made sense. The words of the exit became: "So what to do?" “
Will stretched out his hands: "No way. “
Then he hurriedly stopped Otohime, who was about to speak, and added, "It should be said that there is no way for me to do it at the moment. “
"Here's why.
All the top slave catchers on the sea are in the service of the Celestial Dragons. And the Tianlong people are not only the ones who make the laws, but also the biggest customers of the slave hunting group.
Therefore, just the Tianlong people themselves can make such a thing as slave hunting exist.
Do you have a way to change the Draconians? “
Otohime was so frustrated!
She didn't want to admit it! But there's no way to refute it!
After pondering for a long time, he spoke: "Then how can Fish-Man Island and humans coexist peacefully?" “
"It's easy to say, it's complicated."
"Let's give you an example.
There is a country in the East China Sea called the Kingdom of the Bridge. This is a nation of people who have no land but want to be protected by the world government. 700 years ago, the world government gave these people a 'chance' to build bridges connecting islands.
But 700 years have passed, and the bridge has still not been built! On the contrary, these lonely people gathered more and more, and gradually formed a country on the bridge they built themselves! But they are not happy, they work all day long, they have no clothes, and they only hope to get the opportunity to become a member of the world government through their labor.
At the same time, the world government continues to send criminals and opponents to the country without financial support, making them more and more impoverished. “
"What does this have to do with Fish-Man Island?" It's the first time Otohime has heard about the kingdom on the bridge, and although she is full of curiosity, she is still looking forward to the answer to the problem of Fish-Man Island!
"This brings us to another faction, the Whitebeard Pirates.
I don't know when Whitebeard occupied the second half of the New World, but he's been the king of the New World for as long as I can remember.
Under his patronage, all the countries in his sphere of influence are under his protection. You don't have to join the World Government or worry about pirates.
As long as the people are self-reliant, they will not go hungry and will not be bullied. “
"You see, on one side are the obedients who want to join the World Government, and on the other side are the pirates who are fighting against the Navy.
But who is better off, all the way clear!
Why do you think this is the case? What's the difference between the two? “
"Civilians on one side and pirates on the other?"
Will shook his head, looked at Otohime and replied, "I see yes, power!" “
Otohime swore that it was as if she saw a flame burning in Will's eyes!
Seeing and hearing the domineering made her feel that Will was so sincere at that time! So sure!
It's like rehearsing countless times, with the calmest mind, to perform the most passionate dance!
Like a prophet who foresees the future and tells the path he will take!
Will is talking about Whitebeard, but he sees himself!
But the anger that had just fallen in Otohime's heart burned again!
"Will! You're wrong! Power can only bring destruction! “
She tried her best to suppress the main battle faction on Fish-Man Island because she hoped to achieve peace peacefully!
She believes that only peace can bring peace!
And power will bring war! Wars beget wars again! In the end, it can only lead to destruction!
Will just shook his head.
"I admit that power can bring destruction, but it can also bring peace.
Both are sea pirates, the Golden Lion and Whitebeard are both powerful ones.
One chooses to make a big wave, and the other chooses to stay on the side.
Different choices, different results.
There is no right or wrong with power, it only depends on the person who uses it. “
"Dragon Palace! You have to remember! Whether you admit my point of view or not, peace never embraces the weak! “
