Early the next morning, Polusalino was woken up by the noise in the harbor. After getting up slowly, washing and getting dressed, he walked to the deck of the battleship.

As soon as he reached the deck, Polusalino saw the right minister of Ryugu Castle with an anxious look on his face - it seemed that he had been waiting here for some time.

"What's wrong? What happened? ”

"Riot! After announcing the treaty with the government this morning, the people rioted! They all gathered outside Ryugu Castle, and Princess Otohime had already gone over to deal with it! Lieutenant General Polusalino! Let's go over and have a look! We're afraid that things will get out of hand and something bad will happen......"

The right minister's speech was fast, and his forehead was covered with sweat.

"What about Major General Kuzan and Minister Gay?"

Polusalino asked.

"The two of them have already passed early!"

"Okay, let's go, go find them."

……

Outside the Dragon Palace City, which was already covered by the black oppressive human heads, the radio phone bugs that were arranged throughout the Dragon Palace Kingdom this morning announced the news that Fish-Man Island had signed a series of treaties with the World Government. Before the people could understand what was going on, why they suddenly signed a treaty with the world government, and the content of the treaty announced one by one directly ignited the anger of the people of Fish-Man Island.

"Ryugu City has betrayed our Fish-Man Island to the World Government! Trampled our dignity under our feet! ”

"Rejection of unequal treaties! Fight the world government to the end! ”

"This is naked oppression! I can't breathe anymore!! ”

"Long live Fish-Man Island! Long live the Fish-Folk and the Merfolk Clan!! ”

"Take up arms! Down with the naval invaders! ”

"Overthrow the mediocre rule of Dragon Palace City! Fish-Man Island belongs to all the people! ”

……

The passionate slogans make the people's emotions more and more excited - the vast majority of people are often relatively sober when they are alone, but once they are caught up in the flow of people, their minds will not think at once, and it is easy to become extreme, as is the case with the so-called group fanaticism.

Not to mention that this so-called demonstration and rebellion is mixed with a lot of incendiary words from people with ulterior motives - for example, some slogans are shouted very exaggeratedly, and even the finger is directly aimed at the guys in Ryugu Castle, who often haunt the darkest corner of Fish-Man Island, that is, Fish-Man Street.

"Princess Otohime, don't go over!"

Heavily armed Jinpei stopped Princess Otohime, who was about to walk in front of the people, and in front of him, a wall of (fish) people formed by the guards of Ryugu Castle separated the inside and outside.

"Everyone! Please listen to my explanation!! ”

The noise of the people was too loud, and even though Princess Otohime, who was only 145cm tall and thin, roared as much as she could, no one could hear her at all.

"Die! You princess who has become a stooge of the government!! ”

I don't know who in the crowd roared, and then everyone turned their attention to Princess Otohime, and the sky was immediately covered with a black oppressive shadow—stones, dead fish, garbage, coral, all kinds of things were thrown at her in an instant.

"Be careful! Otohime! ”

A tall figure appeared from behind Princess Otohime, holding her in her arms, turning her back to fend off all attacks.

"Neptune!"

Princess Otohime raised her head in a daze, and it was none other than her husband who was protecting her.

"Stop, you all stop me!!"

Jinping gritted his teeth and roared angrily: "Didn't you read all the treaties? It was after careful consideration that King Neptune and Princess Otohime signed this treaty that was beneficial to everyone! They didn't betray Fish-Man Island! ”

Jinping's voice is not small, but in the face of the noise of so many people, not many people can hear it at all. Moreover, even if some people heard his words, they completely ignored them - Jinping is not Tiger, and his influence among the fish people is not so great, not to mention that almost everyone is carried away by emotions at this time, so all kinds of projectiles and even sharp weapons are thrown again.

"Major General Kuzan,"

Minister Gaiyi, who was watching this scene coldly, hooked the corners of his mouth and nodded slightly with satisfaction, "It's time for you to make a move, isn't the Navy going to enter Fish-Man Island in the future?" You'll still be in charge here, and now is a great opportunity to stand up! Kill all these guys who don't know whether they are alive or dead! ”

"Really, how can you make such a fuss?"

Kuzan sighed, "Looks like I was too optimistic about the situation before......"

Indeed, the current Fish-Man Island is really sitting on a powder keg, and if you are not careful, the excited people will immediately trample the rule of Ryugu Castle and the treaty that has been signed with the government, and then under the instigation of some ethnic extremists, the whole people will enter the war and fight to the death with the "evil" world government...... And the final result, of course, is that the entire Fish-Man Island was blown up into the sky with all the fishmen and mermaids.

Princess Otohime is very sober, so she will never allow such a thing to happen.

Although her body is extremely weak, Princess Otohime is a natural possessor of domineering, just like Red Earl Redfield and One Piece Roger, she can sense the inner thoughts of others to a certain extent. Therefore, she now perceives very clearly that the anger in the hearts of the people is just the surface, and what is hidden behind the anger is the confusion that she thinks she has been betrayed by Ryugu Castle, and the fear and abandonment of the future.

In their opinion, the Dragon Palace City, which they trust and respect, has already bowed to the world government on behalf of this country, and what awaits them as ordinary citizens next is to be unscrupulously treated as slaves by human beings, discriminated against and tortured at will, which can be described as a dark and hopeless place.

After thoroughly figuring out what the people were thinking, Princess Otohime was determined to do whatever it took to appease them, but after all—

"Carrara !!"

The extreme cold suddenly swept through the heavens and the earth, suppressing all the words that Princess Otohime was about to blurt out, and also suppressing the earth-shattering noise outside.

"What is this?"

"Frozen!!"

"Attacked? Ryugu Castle has launched an attack on us!! ”

……

The panicked voices suddenly came one after another, and the people were terrified - the reason why they dared to set off a protest demonstration with impunity was completely because they felt that they were outnumbered, and they were sure that Ryugu City would not do anything to them, but now, ......

The ground where they were located had turned into a vast ice field, and the feet or tails of the nearly 10,000 people gathered here were frozen on the ground, unable to move at all.

"Can you be a little quieter?"

Outside the gate of Dragon Palace City, a giant tower of ice in the shape of a spiral rose from the ground, instantly attracting everyone's attention. Tall, lanky Kuzan stood at the top of the tower, holding a megaphone bug so that his voice could easily reach everyone's ears.

"My name is Kuzan, Rear Admiral Kuzan of the Navy Headquarters, according to the treaty signed between Fish-Man Island and the World Government, after that, our Navy will establish a permanent base on Fish-Man Island, and I will be the supreme person in charge of the base."

"Navy...... Major General of the Headquarters? ”

"I've heard of him! Major General Kuzan! One of the three nature monsters of the Navy Headquarters! The strength is terrifying! ”

"Is that what he did? Nature-based Frozen Fruit Ability! ”

"Damn—how could this guy be here!"

The fishmen and merfolk gathered here looked at each other, not all of them were extremely racist, or had bad intentions - most of them only saw the beginning of the treaty, or did not read the treaty at all, and simply felt betrayed, so they turned their anger into temporary courage, came here to ask for an explanation, and then vented by the way.

"You should take a good look at those treaties, see clearly with your own eyes, and think clearly with your own heads, are those treaties really a betrayal of Ryugu City to you? Is it really the oppression of you by the World Government? ”

"And, those treaties aside, have you ever wondered why the world government would suddenly have our navy here? Fish-Man Island is also a member of the World Government, a member of the World Government, and our Navy should have been your protector......"

Kuzan's voice was calm and powerful, and the move that unleashed his amazing freezing ability when he came up also made him very intimidating. Many of the fish-men and mermaids' feverish brains had calmed down and listened to his words.

"I'll tell you right now, after hundreds of years, the reason why the navy suddenly appeared on Fish-Man Island on a large scale - a few days ago, the pirate from Fish-Man Island, Fisher Tiger attacked the residence of the world's nobles, the Holy Land Mary Joy, and set off a slave rebellion! Unleashed the fire! The Draconians have been violated, and the majesty of the world government has been affected! Our navy came to Fish-Man Island with a mission, and we also have the power to completely destroy Fish-Man Island if the situation is exceptional! ”

I have to say that today's Kuzan, under the influence of Polusalino, has learned his set in a good way - just this trick pulls the tiger skin and then splashes dirty water, which makes Polusalino on the side nod secretly.

"What?! Fisher Tiger he invaded Mary Joy?! Attacked the Draconians?! ”

"Why is Big Brother Tiger so impulsive! That's a descendant of the Creator!! ”

“…… Hey, the Navy will completely wipe out Fish-Man Island? ”

"What a joke! Impossible! ”

……

Seeing that the people were already being led by themselves, Kuzan continued:

"Yes, we did only have one warship, but this ship has more than a thousand sailors on board! Each of them is an elite who has fought against brutal pirates! ”

"More importantly, as the responsible chief, not only me, but also Chief Gai from the world government, who has full authority to represent the nobles of the world! And my senior, Vice Admiral Polusalino Admiral-Elect! ”

At this point, Kuzan's voice stopped—and his feet jerked into his feet, and his body leaped high, and two icicles appeared from the center of his open palms to the sides.

The icicles slanted upwards and skyrocketed in length, longer and longer, until they penetrated the special outer layer of Fish-Man Island and touched the outer layer of seawater.

“ice age！！！”

This is probably the first time that Ku Cheng has brought the ability of the frozen fruit to the extreme after becoming an ability - in just a few seconds, the sea water on the outside of Fish-Man Island was completely frozen, forming the shell of an ice ball with a thickness of tens of meters, completely enclosing Fish-Man Island in the middle!

"This ...... What is this?! ”

"Frozen!! Fish-Man Island is frozen!! ”

“…… How can there be such a terrible human being?!!! ”

“…… I'm dreaming, I must be dreaming, ahahahaha!! ”

……

It wasn't just the ordinary people of Fish-Man Island who fell into a state of horror, Jinpei, King Neptune, Princess Otohime, and even Minister Gai couldn't help but widen their eyes, but Polusalino nodded clearly - how to say, the current Kuzan has the flavor of the future three generals.

Kuzan, with a slight sweat on his forehead, landed on top of the ice tower again, and continued to speak in front of the people of Fish-Man Island, who were stunned or swallowing their saliva:

"As you can see now, we not only have the power to destroy Fish-Man Island, but we also have the real power to destroy Fish-Man Island! And - my senior brother, Lieutenant General Polusalino, is stronger than me! As long as he wants, he can show the power of the sun, and he can easily destroy the entire Fish-Man Island in one breath! ”

Both the Neptunes and Minister Guy couldn't help but look at Polusalino beside them, who nodded reservedly, without showing any hint of ecstasy or pride in their hearts.

(Vision!) Kuzan, you boy! The second wave of the world of pirates blows, and it will be decided that it is you! Second only to Sakasky! ）

"Guy who is stronger than Major General Kuzan...... Is that really still human......"

"I remember, that Lieutenant General Polusalino fought against the strongest man in the world, Whitebeard!!"

"Is it really that strong? I don't believe it! Is there only one child in a family? ”

"Next to you, what are you nervous about? It's all said that the interview reporter called 'sea bass' in the World Economic News can't watch more! ”

……

"So, can you calm down now and understand your king and princess?"

Kuzan continued, "They have tried every means to fight with reason, to appease the anger of the Celestial Dragons, and at the same time protect you people! ”

"Is the anger of the Draconians so easy to quell? Three-year-olds don't have such naïve thoughts! ”

"Or do any of you think you can find a better solution than King Neptune and Princess Otohime?"

The audience was dumbfounded, and after a while, a whispered discussion began.

"Those world nobles...... Each of them had at least a thousand slaves......"

"I heard my grandfather say that the anger of the government would be resolved with a demon slaying order...... Dozens of warships will use their artillery to wipe out all the creatures in an area, and if it's an island, wipe it off the map......"

"So...... Ryugu Castle really didn't betray us? And also protected us? ”

“…… It seems like so......"

……

Feeling the changing mental activity of the people, Princess Otohime breathed a sigh of relief and collapsed into her husband's arms, while Porusalino smiled and dodged to the ice tower made by Kuzan.

"Ahem, I'm Vice Admiral Polusalino of the Navy Headquarters...... Since everyone has calmed down, then I will briefly say three points, in fact, they are all the contents of the published treaty, you can see for yourself......"

"First, the Navy will establish a permanent base on Fish-Man Island in the future to protect the peace of Fish-Man Island. In addition, the garrison of the Navy will not be limited to us humans, but also the young people of the Fish-Man tribe who have aspirations and a sense of justice can also enthusiastically sign up to defend their homes and families with your own hands, we warmly welcome you! By the way, the treatment of our Navy, from the entrance to the Upside Down Mountain to the summit of the Red Earth Continent, all those who have learned about it say good! ”

"Second, the Navy will work with you against all slave captures, whether they are slave traders among your own people or human slave traders from outside, and they will all be punished by death! The same goes for pirates! And we'll do it now! Their bodies will be hung on this ice tower at my feet to show the yearning and determination of all of us for peace! Sincerity and Preservation of the Treaty of Friendship and Mutual Assistance! ”

"Third, the Navy will work with the Dragon Palace Guards to form a law enforcement team on Fish-Man Island, which will be used to maintain order on Fish-Man Island and resolve disputes! In addition, the results of the daily work will be released in the form of phone bug messages, and everyone is welcome to check the phone bug and supervise our work! ”

(The so-called guiding public opinion is to sing a red face, a white face, a high-profile show off the big stick used for deterrence, and a high-profile carrot to win people's hearts...... ）

……

After a moment of silence, there was a faint applause from the crowd, which grew louder and louder, until it joined together, and finally sounded like thunder.

"If that's the case, we accept it!"

"This Lieutenant General Polusalino, the coat of justice on his body is simply shining, so dazzling...... Is this what justice represents? ”

"No, he seems to be really glowing......"

"I told you to read the treaty a long time ago, and if you don't believe it, you will come to the demonstration...... Almost blamed the good guys! ”

"Navy! Welcome to Fish-Man Island!! ”

……

I have to say that although he also asked a group of people to listen to his words, Polusalino felt that it was more enjoyable for him to say it than to use it - he could understand why the protagonists of the young hot-blooded manga had to use the skill of mouth escape as standard.

But let's be honest, no one wants to die for no reason, so when the people see that the representatives sent by the World Government have the power to easily destroy everything they do, the so-called riot should actually be over.

Moreover, the way of "carrots and sticks" of Polusalino and Kuzan made the people of Fish-Man Island believe it even if they didn't believe it, and then Princess Otohime and King Neptune added some mouth cannons, and the riot was put down in this way.

Kuzan unfroze the fishmen and the Fish-Man Island, leaving behind the Tower of Ice, which was to "represent justice and be full of sinful corpses", and then the people went back to their homes.

They wanted to get back into their lives, and no one wanted to experience how powerful this man called Kuzan was again.

Seeing that the riot was over, Princess Otohime looked at Polusalino with hopeful eyes:

"Lieutenant General Polusalino, are you telling the truth? Regarding the immediate operation to clean up the slave traders and pirates on Fish-Man Island......"

"Of course it's true, Your Highness the Princess, otherwise why don't I let Kuzan remove this tower as well?"

Polusalino shrugged his shoulders with a smile, "Anyway, our navy has the duty to fight these people, so it is better to show it openly and honestly, so that the people of Fish-Man Island and the whole world can see our determination to fight crime and our sincerity to build peace......"

"You've thought so much! Lieutenant General Polusalino! I...... On behalf of all the people of Fish-Man Island, I would like to express my gratitude to you! ”

Princess Otohime took a deep breath and saluted solemnly to Porusalino with a look of gratitude.

The latter didn't pretend to refuse, just scratched his head: "However, regarding the operation against slave traders and pirates, I have an additional little suggestion, that is, the Fish-Man Street on Fish-Man Island should be cleaned up......"

"Most of them are people who hate humans, such as that Aaron, and they get together, and every day in addition to drinking and sleeping, they just express to each other how much they hate humans and how they will retaliate against humans in the future. And their big brother Tiger is now a wanted criminal by the government and our navy, in case they do something extreme...... The treaty of friendship was signed, and it was difficult for everyone to do ......"

Of course, Princess Otohime understood what Polusalino meant, and she also knew the significance of cleaning up Fishman Street, but she still showed a wry smile:

"Lieutenant General Polusalino, Fish-Man Street is not a good place to clean up, the fish-man outlaws over there are strong and hugging each other, in fact, we in Ryugu City have considered governing that place before, but every time we give up...... Moreover, we are now managing to stabilize the mood of the people, if this time ......"

"I know what you're talking about, Princess Otohime,"

Polusalino smiled, and then looked at Guy on the side, "But the Fish-Man Street is not in the eyes of our powerful Minister Guy......"

“...... Minister Guy? ”

"Me?"

"Isn't it? Minister Gay killing those extreme fish-man racists is as easy as stepping on ants,"

Polusalino nodded at Gai Yi and boasted, "Moreover, the signing of the Peace and Friendship Treaty only represents the reconciliation between the World Government and Fish-Man Island, and the Celestial Dragons who have suffered huge losses before must still be dissatisfied." Minister Guy, you go to clean up Fish-Man Street, which is also to show your CP0 position, and it is better to complete the task when you go back! ”

"Hmm...... Makes sense! ”

- No one doesn't like to be touted, let alone Guy's arrogant guy, and Polusalino also "thinks about them from the perspective of their CP0", so Guy not only brightened his eyes, but also smiled and nodded in agreement without suspicion at all.

(He is worthy of being trusted by Leander Palace, with a good speech and a good brain, which is different from those annoying ordinary navy captains...... Well, if he becomes an admiral in the future and stays in the Holy Land for a long time, maybe you can invite him to a drink and make friends...... ）

"Of course,"

"Fish-Man Street is the most chaotic and dark place on Fish-Man Island, so we will clean it up at the end of this return voyage, and before that, let's focus on cracking down on the pirates and slave traders in general, and give the people an immediate explanation......

"Besides, although Fishman Street is dark, not everyone is bad, and there are still many people who are more neutral in their positions and attitudes, but they are just coerced by violence...... When the time comes to officially start the clean-up operation, we will not have to shed the blood of these innocent people, nor will we have to show mercy to the remaining bad elements, and we will just take the most severe blows......"

(In the meantime, you can wait for the opportunity I want to send you on your way, honorable Minister Guy......)

------Off topic------

PS: 6.4k big chapter!

ps: You can guess who Polusalino is waiting for and what opportunity to wait for - warm reminder, the big people related to Fish-Man Island~

ps: Actually, in the Fish-Man Island chapter, there is one thing that impresses me very much, that is, the group of Hody Jones, who obviously have no physical hatred for human beings, but just think it's cool, and they have become extreme racists since they were young - just like some of today's gender extremists, which is quite outrageous.
