Will really didn't expect that before he could speak, Otohime actually took the initiative to take refuge!

Looking at the ununusual expression of Neptune next to him, he knew that the couple had reached an agreement in private.

"But... Why me? ”

"As far as I know, His Majesty Neptune has a good relationship with Whitebeard, right?"

That's what Will wondered.

Although he is a new popular fried chicken, he is known as a 1.5 billion man.

But compared to the white beard in the sky, it is the difference between the thighs and the arms.

Why bother looking for the near and far?

"It seems that Lord Will is really well-informed."

Neptune saw that it was time for him to play, so he said.

"I'll tell you the truth, the first thing that came to my mind after accepting Otohime's philosophy was Whitebeard. But Otohime told me at the time that Whitebeard would never be the best candidate. ”

"I had my darling write a letter to Whitebeard and ask a question," Otohime said proudly, looking like an overcomer, "and our question is whether he can ban the merfolk slave trade in his realm if the merfolk are submissive to Whitebeard." ”

Will was in a state of flux.

He understood that it was impossible.

Whitebeard was quick to write back to me. He promised to make Fish-Man Island fly Whitebeard's flag and be protected. But the question of us is evaded. Neptune said bitterly.

"I can understand that." Will nodded.

"The Whitebeard Pirates are very different from other pirates. His territory is large, but the regiment does not directly manage these territories, and his subordinate fleet helps him take care of them. ”

"However, there were quite a few slave traders in his team. Therefore, it is very difficult to ban the slave trade in Whitebeard's territory. ”

"It seems that Lord Will is really powerful. I thought about these truths for a long time before I figured them out. Neptune said slightly frustrated, "At that time, I really wanted to have a big fight with Whitebeard." ”

Will didn't mean to think about Black and Whitebeard. In his heart, Whitebeard is the No. 1 hero in Tianzi.

But the hero is sad to pass the beauty pass, and he can't escape the short finger twisting softness of the parents.

Whitebeard was too forgiving, as he was with his sons, and he did with his men.

Later, when he went to the top, he said to his fleet, if you want to keep up, follow up.

This kind of thing would not be said at all by the king of heaven.

The captain chooses the right way, even if it is wrong, his subordinates have to finish it for him.

Will's orders must be carried out.

This is the system of the Heavenly King.

It's not the same with Whitebeard.

In the short term, Whitebeard is called emphasizing feelings and morality. But over time, it changed.

You have a white beard and are righteous, but can you guarantee that every one of your subordinates will be righteous?

Even if his subordinates are all righteous, it's rare enough, right? Can you guarantee that every one of your subordinates has the same aspirations as you?

When pigs fly!

The dragon gave birth to nine sons, but the children are different.

What's more, there are dozens of pirates under Whitebeard, and it is impossible for everyone to like their wives and children to live happily every day.

There are those who want to get rich, those who want to be famous, those who are adventurous, and those who like to call the shots.

As a result, each kingdom in Whitebeard's territory is the same as itself, and each one is different. It's like a little federation. If there is a big conflict, we will go to my father to make a decision. No, I solved it privately.

Whitebeard didn't have a problem with this either, and he didn't bother to care about it anyway.

Therefore, if the merfolk and merfolk move to Whitebeard's territory, the foreseeable situation is like this: they can live well in their own territory, there is no slave hunting group, and there are no pirates fighting the autumn wind. However, if you go out of your own territory, although you are still in Whitebeard's territory, Whitebeard's own affiliated pirate group can pull a net to catch mermaids.

Freedom and passion, that comes at a price.

It's not a matter of good or bad, it's a matter of trade-offs.

The hero is still a hero.

"So you thought of me?"

"Don't say that! I've always been thinking about Will! Otohime said.

"Yes, Otohime hasn't changed from beginning to end, and I can testify to that. And, after Whitebeard's encounter, I deliberately observed..."

"If Lord Will doesn't mind, there's a question, I don't know—" Neptune said again.

"Just ask."

"As far as we can see, although the West Sea looks turbulent, it seems to have been overwhelmed by Lord Will..."

Will looked at the couple quietly for a moment.

Far away on Fish-Man Island, it seems that he has really put in a lot of effort to judge the situation in the West Sea.

Nodding, "Yes, most of the underground forces in the West Sea are indeed under my control. ”

"In that case, then I'm completely fine!" Neptune clapped his hands and exclaimed.

"Although the situation in the West Sea, we can only judge. But above," Otohime pointed to the shampoo above his head, "we know exactly what the slaves are selling. The inflow of slaves from the West Sea is already getting less and less. ”

"Therefore, Wei Jun is the most suitable candidate for Fish-Man Island to take refuge!"

Will groaned.

Although the situation was unexpectedly beneficial to him, he was not the one who threw away his principles when he saw the benefits.

"I'm going to explain."

"Personally, I hate selling intelligent creatures like animals. It's not a favor for merfolk and fish-people. ”

"Hee-hee. That's the second reason why I decided to join the family! Otohime had a triumphant expression.

"I've discovered one of your characteristics since a very early age."

"That is, Wei Jun has no prejudice against other races!"

"No prejudice is what we want!"

"We are also a race with brains, strength, and the ability to feed ourselves ourselves! We don't want mercy! ”

"We just want — justice!"

When Otohime said this, her expression was unusually sincere.

Will was a little touched.

It's a long-standing injustice that you can't fight against in any way. Then it was suppressed, then it was fought, it was suppressed, and it was fought again... After such a long back-and-forth, the cry of true wisdom has finally been obtained.

voiceless

But there is power.

Because, under this cry, is a bloody history.

"I see."

Before the two of them could show their joy, Will held out another finger.

"One last thing."

"Remember what I just said?"

"I said it was because I personally hated it, so I found a way to reduce the slave trade."

"This contains the fact that I have no prejudice against foreigners."

"But there's another meaning."

"That's it—my will, it's the driving force of my pirates."

"That is, I am very headstrong and may give orders that go against common sense. But as long as you join my forces, you must listen to me. ”

"Can you do it?"

Will didn't tell them what he couldn't do, as if he didn't laugh at the consequences if he chose to leave the King.

I don't blame you for choosing to leave.

- but I'll kill you.

You have your freedom, I have my rules.

They are all smart people, so there is no need to say so hurtful things.

Otohime is clearly a smart person.

Shaking Neptune's hand, he said,

"Lord Will, we naturally understand that if we want to gain one thing, we have to lose another."

"So,

Fish-Man Island,

Please! ”
