This is, of course, a very unsatisfactory thing.

Although Fish-Man Island is a territory for mermaids and mermaids, it is clearly incapable of restraining the humans who travel here.

There have even been cases of slave traders disguised as merchant ships who came to Fish-Man Island to capture mermaids and then easily escaped.

After hearing Bright's question, King Neptune was silent for a moment, and then stroked his beard a little wistfully, "Of course, no one wants this kind of thing, but we can't always monitor the humans who have landed on Fish-Man Island, right?" ”

Fish-Man Island is the connection point between the two sections of the Great Voyage, and the people who can choose to change ships and take Mary Joy are only a few after all, and most of the humans who want to travel between Paradise and the New World can only choose to take the route of Fish-Man Island.

This means that there are many ships landing on Fish-Man Island every day.

Pirates, merchants, members of the underworld.

There are a lot of people in the mix.

There are even quite a few humans who have settled on Fish-Man Island.

"At the very least, the control of entry and exit," said Bright, "and strict search of human ships entering and leaving Fish-Man Island will go a long way in eliminating the abduction and trafficking that occurs on Fish-Man Island." ”

In the final analysis, the management of entry and exit is too lax.

It's a sovereign country, but it's like a colony.

But it's not that difficult.

The topography of Fish-Man Island is different from any other island above the sea.

For humans, if they want to enter and exit Fish-Man Island safely, they can only take the main gate, that is, they only need to guard this main gate, and nine out of nine abduction incidents cannot be carried out.

Neptune nodded slightly, "I understand this, but it's not easy to change. ”

"Fish-Man Island connects the front and back of the great shipping route, and countless pirates pass through here every year to the New World, how can those guys honestly let us inspect it?"

Bright raised his eyebrows slightly, "The times are no longer the same, now is not the time for the opening of the era of pirates, the time for humans to wreak havoc on Fish-Man Island, Brother Jinping is the Seven Martial Seas, even among the human pirates, there are not many people who dare to be enemies of the Seven Martial Seas." ”

"Especially, in the depths of the ocean."

When I read the manga in my previous life, I didn't think that the Seven Martial Seas were so great, but after coming to this world, I realized that the Seven Martial Seas were indeed already a top powerhouse only under the One Piece Emperor and the Admiral.

Fish-Man Island's weakness is relative to the World Government and the monster pirates of the New World.

Even this comparison has to be above the surface of the sea, in this deep sea, what about even a monster like Kaido the Whitebeard?

As long as Fish-Man Island takes a tougher attitude, what can the pirates do?

"It makes sense."

Neptune nodded approvingly, he didn't care about the disrespect in Bright's words, "Otohime always says we should trust humans, but our trust is always unanswered." ”

So I said it, Princess Otohime is a very good person, but the biggest drawback is that she trusts humans too much.

"But there's one more problem." Neptune said seriously, "You may not know, Bright, we are located in the deep sea, but we have many similar needs as humans at sea. ”

"We can't meet these needs ourselves, so we rely heavily on merchant ships, smuggling ships, and even pirates, violent ships."

"But we ourselves are very short of attractive products, and many of the humans who trade with us only trade because of the landing so that we can buy what we need and sell our things."

"If that's what you say, what's going on with all this trade? They may not bother to land on Fish-Man Island, and instead choose to go directly to the opposite side of the Red Earth. ”

From a young age, Bright knew that Fish-Man Island was not rich.

This island is indeed very beautiful, but the poor geographical location, difficult transportation conditions, and human discrimination and resistance make it difficult for the various industries on this island to develop.

Even in the most prosperous towns, crimes caused by children are not uncommon, not to mention Bright's hometown of Fishman Street, which is almost entirely unemployed.

What would become of the island if trade with humans was cut off?

Bbright understands that all he's been thinking about is the issue of power comparison, but for Neptune, I'm afraid that's the key.

This is indeed a very troublesome question.

At the end of the day, Fish-Man Island, located in the deep sea, is too weak to be self-sufficient.

Even the most basic food, clothing, shelter and transportation cannot be satisfied.

After all, Fish-Man Island is not rich in textile raw materials.

Otherwise, why do the legendary mermaids like to wear shells?

Not to mention other daily necessities, medicines and the like.

It is true that there are human traders who risk dying on the bottom of the sea to come to Fish-Man Island to trade, but they are all minority.

Most people really just drop by.

After all, as Neptune said, Fish-Man Island lacks commodity that is attractive enough.

If strict immigration control policies are really implemented, what will happen to these businessmen who are probably not good birds?

Bright sighed softly.

There are so many dilemmas faced by mermaids and mermaids.

"That's where the trouble is."

Jinping sighed, "Although we are very unwilling, we can't do without human beings. ”

"But, little brother, I'll consider your suggestion."

Neptune put it this way, "I can't do that anyway, I can't do that without doing anything after seeing the people hurt." ”

The advantage of a small country and a small population is here, and the upper and lower classes are not too separated.

Neptune has a strong ability to empathize with the people of Fish-Man Island.

"So, what do you think of my invitation?"

Neptune asked expectantly.

Fish-Man Island originally had few talents, and finally came up with a future star in Jinping's mouth, and he felt that of course he had to cultivate it vigorously.

It is precisely because of the bullying that they are more united.

"Let's talk about it later,"

Brett didn't directly refuse, "Now my main goal is to practice. ”

Becoming the top of the Dragon Palace Kingdom is certainly convenient for action.

But obviously there is much more to being a real powerhouse.

"That's right."

Neptune wasn't discouraged, either, "It's true that it's not a good thing to say, but strength is the most important factor in this world. ”

"Then, little brother, let Jinping contact me when you want."

"Finally, allow me to say thank you again."

After a solemn thank you to Bright at the end, His Majesty the King of the Dragon Palace Kingdom left.

There are still a lot of things he needs to deal with in this riot.

"There's no need to rush Bright,"

Jinping patted Bright's shoulder, "Take your time, the trajectory of hundreds of years of history will not be reversed in a while." ”

Brytt nodded.

It is indeed not a simple matter for fish people and mermaids to usher in a better tomorrow.

"Let's go back to Xia Li first,"

Jinping smiled and said, "She should be very worried about you, Ah Long, they will leave it to me." ”

"Okay."

Brett did not refuse.

Although he didn't think Xia Li would be worried.

She's someone who's already seen the future script.

On the way back to the Mermaid Cafe, Bright fell into thought.

Sure enough, if you want to change the situation of Fish-Man Island, do you have to move the country from the bottom of the sea to the surface of the sea?

Head to the well-stocked, resource-rich sea!

In this resource-poor -

Well?

Resource-poor?

A flash of inspiration flashed in Bright's mind.

Poor seabed resources?

Which genius came to this conclusion?

I almost didn't react.

A smile rippled across Bright's lips.

In this case, will the dilemma be solved?

Bright returned to the Mermaid Cafe with excitement.

"Xia Li, I'm back."

Bright pushed open the door of the café.

"Thank you Nana-sama!"

As soon as I entered the door, I saw little Nana standing proudly on the table with her hands on her hips.

Several merfolk surrounded her around the table, holding various foods in their hands.

The merfolk had big smiles on their faces, "Yes, it's all up to Nana this time." ”

"If it weren't for Nana, then the sisters really don't know what to do."

"Nana saved us, it's amazing!"

Are they the kidnapped merfolk?

"Uh-huh!"

After being thanked, the little girl's nose almost turned up to the sky, and she unceremoniously ate the food from the hands of the mermaid sisters one by one.

"Really, don't spoil her too much." Miss Miriam said helplessly.

"Nana is our savior."

A mermaid lady looked back and smiled.

"It's like, we don't know what would have become of us without Nana." The other mermaid lady smiled a little pale, as if she was still afraid.

"Looks like Nana has done something amazing."

Bright walked over to the counter and said to Charlie.

"It's really remarkable."

Xia Li looked up and looked at Bright, "You too." ”

Bright smiled lightly.

Looking at the happy faces of the mermaid ladies, it is hard to imagine their horror a few hours ago.

They were rescued, but in the past history, in the future after, how many will not have time to be rescued?

"Bright, don't hesitate, just do what you want to do."

Bright heard Charlie's voice, and she said, "I'll always be watching you from behind." ”

……

Fishman Street.

After Aladdin's treatment, Aaron's and his gang's injuries have stabilized, but his house is indeed no longer inhabitable and has been crumbling.

While discussing where to stay next, some fish people approached.

"Brother Aaron, what's going on? What a big commotion just now! What's the matter with that thunder that rose from the sky? Neptune, that guy is here! ”

The fish people didn't know what was going on.

The corners of Aaron's mouth hooked.

"Scared hahahaha! It was the thunder that announced the birth of the star of hope on Fish-Man Island! ”

"Nozomi ...... Star of Hope? ”
