Outside the steel walls forged by the people of Fishman Street, the mermaid general Shark Tooth, whose upper body was wrapped in blood-stained bandages, waited for a phone bug from his subordinates while commanding the entire mermaid escort to build fortifications.

As the general of the Merfolk Guardian, Sharktooth has the power and responsibility to take urgent measures against this sudden rebellion, but the next step is for the king to dictate.

What exactly to do in response to this rebellion, whether to suppress it first and then negotiate, or negotiate first and then suppress it, it all depends on the will of Neptune, the king of Fish-Man Island.

Sharktooth pressed the button on the red phone bug, and the phone will be connected to the contact corridor of Dragon Palace City, and a special liaison will hand over the phone bug to His Majesty.

"I am the sharktooth general of the mermaid guard, and now I have an urgent military situation to report to His Majesty, please transmit the phone bug to His Majesty as soon as possible!"

"Yes, General Sharktooth!"

On the side of Ryugu Castle, the liaison officer used a red silk down cushion to support the phone bug and swam in the direction of the Ryugu Castle Council Hall.

Normally, His Majesty would have been walking with Queen Otohime in the back garden of the palace, but during these days, King Neptune and Queen Otohime have been in the chamber.

The Liaison Corridor was close to the Council Chamber, and the liaison officer quickly arrived at the door of the Council Chamber.

Unlike before, the ever-open golden gate with pearl-encrusted corals was tightly closed, flanked not by merfolk guards with spears, but by two humans in white suits.

"Stop!" The white suit held out his right hand, stopping the liaison from moving on.

"I'm the liaison officer of Ryugu City, and there is an emergency number for His Majesty the King here!" The liaison said that he was about to enter, but was still blocked by the outstretched arms of the white suit.

"Give me the phone and I'll send it in!" The white suit said coldly.

"This is a call to His Majesty the King! It's an urgent military situation! You don't have the right to stop me from entering! The liaison said loudly, in a heated tone.

If it was the merfolk guard who stopped him and asked him to pass on the call, then he would have done so, but now it was a human who stopped him!

"That's right!" The white suit was silent for a moment.

When the liaison thought he would be put in, the white suit knocked him unconscious and took the phone bug from the liaison officer's hand.

"This disgusting fishy smell!" The white suit pulled out his chest in disgust and put a white handkerchief on it, wiping his fishy palm, while handing the phone bug to his colleague.

After carefully checking that the phone bug did not contain dangerous items such as bombs, the white suit pushed open the golden door and sent the phone bug inside.

"My lord, about the merfolk after they moved to land......"

In the council chamber, King Neptune sat silently, while Princess Otohime whispered with a friendly smile to the bald old man in a dark green suit in front of her.

CP0's entry caught the attention of the bald old man, who reached out and motioned for Princess Otohime to stop talking, turning his gaze to the white suit.

"What's the matter?"

"My lord, it's a call from the Mermaid King, saying that it's an emergency military situation." CP0 replied.

The bald old man groaned for a moment, twisting his beard, which he had burned a year ago and raised to the present.

"Neptune, since it's a call for you, then you can take it!" The bald old man turned his face slightly and motioned for CP0 to hand the phone bug to Neptune.

So, CP0 walked up to the king of the Fish-Man Kingdom and straightened up and handed the phone bug to him.

This arrogant attitude caused Neptune to be angry, but it could only suppress his anger.

"Is it Your Majesty?"

"It's me, Say, General."

"Today, following your orders, the minister discovered the criminals of the Sun Pirates in Plaza 1 and engaged in a fierce battle with them."

"But their resistance was fierce and unscrupulous, and although we have always had the upper hand, we have not been able to arrest them!"

"The ministers were incompetent, so they fled into Fishman Street, and incited the Fishman crowd in Fishman Street to launch a rebellion!"

"What are you talking about?" Neptune suspected he had misheard.

"Fish-Man Street is reversed, Your Majesty!"

The voice of the phone bug is something that everyone can hear.

When the bald old man heard this, the corners of his mouth turned upward, and he looked at Neptune mockingly.

"They disobeyed your orders, protected the Sun Pirates from the criminals, and rallied their forces against the Kingdom Army."

"Impossible!" Neptune said firmly, "Although Fish-Man Street is inhabited by fish-people, it is not ......"

"Your Majesty, the steel train they built in secret is positioned horizontally in front of the merfolk guard, and the artillery spears they have collected from the pirates are facing our warriors."

"There's no reason, there's no reason for them to rebel!"

On the other end of the line, Sharktooth saw that the fighters he had sent to negotiate had been driven out, and Mo Brown, who was standing on top of a steel train, was giving an impassioned speech and inciting the crowd.

For example, the king acquiesced in the pirates gathering the illegal activities of Mermaid Street, the Kingdom Army turned a blind eye to the crimes in Mermaid Street and did nothing, and persecuted the heroes of Mermaid Island, the Sun Pirates......

The king could not see the reason why the rebellion of Fish-Man Street had been stated for an hour.

"They demand a change in Fish-Man Street in special policies, demand regional autonomy, and cancel the Kingdom's wanted Sun Pirates, Your Majesty."

'Change of economic policy, regional autonomy, delusion! Neptune's brow furrowed.

Fish-Man Island is like a giant fish tank located below the Red Earth, it is naturally enclosed.

Because humans discriminate against fishmen, all of its trade depends on illegal traders and pirates.

All pirates who go to the New World will spend most of their wealth in the Chambord Islands Gold Cave, and then spend a wave on Fish-Man Island, often leaving Fish-Man Island with not a single Bailey left on the ship.

Because coming to Fish-Man Island requires experiencing a fierce current of 10,000 meters under the sea, the ship generally needs to be overhauled or even scrapped directly. Even many pirates stayed in Fishman Street because they couldn't afford to repair their boats.

Changing Fish-Man Street's economic policies will destroy Fish-Man Island's foreign economic and trade trade, and once Fish-Man Street is self-governing, those fierce Fishmen will undoubtedly engage in fierce battles with pirates once they are legally armed.

At that point, the pirates will no longer be pressured by the King's Army to stay in Fish-Man Street.

Can't those fish people endure for Fish-Man Island!' When Fish-Man Island is strong enough, I'll naturally be tough on the pirates.'

As for canceling the wanted ...... for the Sun Pirates.

Neptune glanced at the old man sitting comfortably in his chair and the white suit serving behind him.

"Your Majesty, Your Majesty?"

The shark tooth on the other end of the line whispered, joking Neptune out of his musings.

"The minister has already started to build fortifications on the periphery of Fishman Street, and attacking artillery and bombs are also being brought to Fishman Street."

"Order, Your Majesty!"

Order?

Ordered to counterinsurgency.

It was the first time Neptune had experienced this in his life, and his father had experienced it a lot, three times.

The biggest of these was a year before his father's illness, when a group of Fish-Man Pirates who had made a name for themselves on the Great Voyage was wiped out after that battle.

To this day, Neptune still dreams of the previous king, his father, holding his hand, strolling through Flesh and Fish Man Street.

On that day, the land of Fishman Street was colorful, the most colors were naturally bright red and mossy green, the corrupted flesh was black, unknown mushrooms and microorganisms multiplied on it, and it showed a miserable yellow and cyan, and the stumps and internal organs were roughly swept on both sides of the street, piled up into a mountain of meat, and dense sea insect larvae wriggled in the muscles and fat.

Slightly intact corpses of the rebels were cured with sea salt and hung from the sides of the street.

They stared at the living with their heads bowed, their eyes as white as dead fish, emitting an unbearable stench.

"If those people had turned their guns on their king, then at that moment on, the king would no longer need to regard them as his own people."

"The royal power is inviolable, and the rebellion of the gun against his own king must pay the price in blood." "Only blood can consolidate royal power."

On the eve of the rebellion, the former king said this to young Neptune in his study.

Neptune has always considered himself a good king, and he is even more in the top few of the previous kings of Fish-Man Island.

He kept pirates and the illegal trade firmly in Fish-Man Street, making the sunny places in the upper echelons of Fish-Man Island prosperous and stable.

While building good relations with the world government, he planted the banner of Whitebeard, and used Whitebeard's name to deter those lawless pirates.

Fish-Man Island is rich in products, prosperous in economy and trade, and has a diplomatic source. Neptune relied on his own strength to gain the name of the Sea Knight.

Even a year ago, the captain of the Sun Pirates, Fisher Tiger, had consulted Neptune, his king, before boarding Mary Joa.

Raising entry requirements, expanding the Kingdom Army, befriending the Fish-Man hero Fisher Tiger, and even recruiting the Fish-People into the Guardian are all Neptune's efforts to ease the conflict between the Merfolk and the Fishmen.

But things really got to this point, and Neptune could only make up his mind.

As his father had said, royal power was inviolable.

He opened his mouth and gave the order slowly and firmly.

"General, the Secretary of State will go to Fishman Street for final negotiations with the rebels in Fishman Street. During the negotiations, do not let go of preparations for the suppression of the rebellion. If negotiations fail, I'll give you permission to attack Fishman Street!" ”

"I will inform the other escort teams to assemble in your direction, and after the assembly is completed, they will be unified under your command!"

"At the same time, we will closely monitor the movements of other fish-people living areas on Fish-Man Island."

"Your Majesty, are you worried that other fishmen will give support to Fishman Street?"

Neptune was silent for a moment, not answering General Sharktooth's question.

"I believe that most of the people of Fishman Street have only been temporarily deceived by rebellion, so after the attack, restrain the soldiers not to cause too many casualties."

"Yes, Your Majesty!"

Hanging up the phone, Neptune turned his head to look at the five old stars with an inexplicable smile, and then looked at his nervous wife.

Subsequently, the king of Fish-Man Island, Neptune, made a positive statement of his attitude.

"My lord, Fish-Man Island will definitely arrest all the rebellions of the Sun Pirates for the world government."

"The world government will remember Fish-Man Island's contributions." The Five Old Stars paused for a moment, and then said, "At the next World Conference, Fish-Man Island will be on the list again. ”

After saying that, the five old stars turned their heads and smiled at Princess Otohime.

"Madam, let's continue with the topic just now, I am very interested in the idea of the harmonious coexistence of humans and mermaids."
