Chapter 345: From Today
"Are you happy?"
"Tiger, the feats you have done are also very respectful below."
"But with your current status, you can't laugh when you come here!"
Neptune sighed lightly, and then said solemnly.
"Tell me about the purpose of your trip on behalf of the Navy."
The battle at the top is over, Whitebeard is captured, and the new marshal of the navy takes the throne, and as the king of Fish-Man Island, Neptune naturally knows about such a major event.
Recently, he has not been less troubled by the chaos on the island, and for this reason, he has even sent several princes to patrol.
"Your Majesty Neptune."
"As you can see, my current identity is that of a vice admiral of the Navy Headquarters!"
"I deliberately returned to my hometown, not only because of the thoughts in my heart, but also because I care about my compatriots in my hometown."
Fisher Tiger sighed deeply and said slowly.
"For many years, the compatriots of Fish-Man Island have been regarded as aliens by humans, and the aristocracy among them has even treated Fish-People as slaves and sold them privately."
"The racial contradiction between humans and fish is an incomparably headache for us."
"And this time!"
Speaking of this, he paused slightly and took a deep breath.
"On behalf of the newly appointed Admiral Charlot, I have come to discuss with His Majesty Neptune about the joint alliance between the Navy and the Fish-People to solve the long-standing conflict between humans and the Fish-Men!"
In a word, Neptune's pupils contracted.
"Excuse me, Lieutenant General Tiger, what do you mean by that?"
Shocked, incredible, Neptune's heart was undoubtedly filled with these two emotions at this moment.
Are you kidding?
The Navy is going to negotiate with the Fishmen about the resolution of the contradictions between the races, and it is a joint solution?
This is almost the first time in history!
"As you just heard."
"My direct boss, Marshal Xia Le, is the guide who single-handedly cultivated me, and he has led me all the way to where I am today!"
"In his eyes, the races above the world are all equal, and they have the same right to survive and personality!"
"Maybe it's rumored that he's a tough and demonic horror."
"Especially in the eyes of some pirates, they even call him the Shura of hell, which will bring endless horror and disaster!"
"But in my opinion, he is one of the few men in the world that I respect and believe in, and I firmly believe that only he can truly make the world peaceful and beautiful."
Fisher Tiger said in a deep voice.
His tone was steady, but full of power, sounding sonorous and powerful.
"You mean, in his eyes, fish-people are equal to humans?"
Neptune uttered this sentence almost tremblingly.
Because he knows very well how important such a thing is, and how great it is.
The Dragon Palace Kingdom has no say at all in the world government meeting, and even if they say anything, it will be ignored by most of the people in power and nobles of the human countries.
Suffice it to say, Fish-Man Island can barely make its own words.
But if it is approved by the admiral, it is much more useful than the protection of any pirate.
"Yes!"
"This is also the justice that Marshal Charle has been following since he became a navy!"
Fisher Tiger nodded solemnly.
"We, the soldiers under him, have been following his back closely."
Neptune fell silent.
He was thinking about the meaning of the other party's words, and naturally he didn't believe it, but he didn't know how to deal with it for a while.
What is the purpose of the Navy?
Xia Le, the new marshal, has too many rumors in the world and has too many legendary deeds.
Especially in the battle on the top that has just ended, its performance is simply dazzling, shocking and terrifying.
Its weight in the world, its right to speak, is absolutely unimaginable.
"Marshal Xia Le, what do you want to do?"
Neptune slowly raised his head, stared at Fisher Tiger in front of him, and asked in a deep voice.
He is the king of Fish-Man Island, and naturally he wants to put the interests of his compatriots on Fish-Man Island first.
"On the basis of the equality of fish people and humans!"
"The Navy will cooperate with Fishman to build a military base on Fishman Island!"
"From now on, the security of Fish-Man Island will be jointly maintained by the new navy jointly formed by the Navy and Fish-Man!"
"At the same time, the Navy will protect the safety and interests of fishmen outside the world, and will severely crack down on the black market problems such as private trafficking and trading of fishmen!"
"As long as you agree!"
At this point, Fisher Tiger's eyes were filled with tears, and even his words trembled.
"From today!"
"Fish-people will be the same as humans, all over the world, with the security of the entire system of the Navy!"
"Our legitimate rights and interests will be guaranteed by the Navy!"
"From now on, the fish-people will be able to get out of this island and go out into the world!"
"From now on, we can walk under the sun like human beings!"
"From now on, we fishmen."
At this point, there was a sudden pause, and Fisher Tiger was already in tears, and the whole person was sitting there trembling constantly.
Neptune sat in the king's chair like a clay sculpture, as if he had fallen into a standstill.
How many years?
It's been an unknown number of years!
How many fishmen have gone forward for this matter, and have paid for their lives for the simple word equality.
Until today, we have finally seen the light of day.
But Neptune remained calm for the moment, taking a deep breath, and then glaring at Fisher Tiger with red eyes.
"What does Fish-Man Island have to give?"
"Navy, you can't do such a thing for us merfolk for nothing, right?"
"I know very well what the Navy is going to pay!"
Fisher Tiger was silent when he heard this, and then sighed and said slowly.
"Marshal Charle said that Fish-Man Island needs to pay part of the money as part of the military expenditure!"
"And, perhaps, some of the fishmen will serve in the navy!"
Neptune was stunned, as if he had misheard something, and he was even in a trance.
"Pay for money?"
"That's all?"
"Also, the fish-man can become a navy?!"
Compared with the former condition, he attaches more importance to the latter one.
Money doesn't mean much to the Dragon Palace Kingdom, and even, if they can protect the interests of the fishmen, they are willing to pay for this expenditure.
But if the fishman can be a navy, it is not ordinary!
This means that the fish-people will be able to step onto the naval stage and truly do things to protect the interests of their race.
On the big stage of the world, only people of their own race are reliable.
This second condition on the naval side is a real concession.
Compared to the past, the Whitebeard Pirates use their prestige to deter many pirates. Fisher Tiger is here on behalf of the Navy this time, and it is the real practical interest.
Even, for the entire Fish-Man Island, it has considerable historical significance.
"Yes!"
"In Marshal Charlot's plan, the fish-people will enter the recruit internship and have the same rights as humans!"
"Whether it's a promotion or training in the future, it won't make any difference!"
Fisher Tiger nodded.
Neptune clenched his fists, his eyes flickering wildly.
For him, it was a choice that could not be refused, and it even hit his heart.
Princess Otohime's dream for many years may be realized in this collaboration, and Fish-Man Island will also enter a new era on this day.
It seems that the choice is already clear.
He knew very well that true equality between fish-people and humans was not enough with just a piece of paper. After that, there is a long process of integration.
Humans get along with fish-people, that's the huge problem.
How should the compatriots who grew up on Fish-Man Island under the sea face the aliens on land? This point, even he, as Neptune of the Fish-Man Kingdom, is always worried.
"What an offer you can't refuse!"
"But, Tiger!"
Neptune jerked his head up, his face complicated.
"I still can't believe this, Marshal Charlotte himself proposed it."
"Because it's unbelievable for us."
"You know what I mean, Tiger!!"
With that, Neptune got up from the king's chair and walked down.
"How many years!"
"Our status above the world has always been in an embarrassing situation, and there is nothing we can do in the face of our people being caught and sold as slaves."
"How many fish-people, dedicated to making us equal to humans, but never found any way."
"Even if it is the world government, every meeting is a show for those kingdoms and nobles, and there is no place for the Dragon Palace Kingdom of Fish-Man Island to speak!"
"You know what?"
"I saw Charlott at a world conference many years ago!"
"He's different from us, and when he enters the venue, all eyes are on him!"
Neptune sighed with emotion in his words, and a memory appeared on his face.
"Many people only know that he is a powerful navy that intimidates the entire pirate world, but few people know that he has another identity."
"That's it!"
"In addition to the navy, he is also a Celestial Dragon!"
Fisher Tiger's pupils constricted, but there was not much other expression on his face.
As Xia Le's long-term subordinate, he naturally knew about this matter, and was rescued by the other party when the other party entered Mary Joa.
It is precisely because of this that Fang resolutely chose to follow the other party, and firmly believed that Xia Le was the only light in this world.
"On top of the world, he has a completely different voice from us fishmen!"
"So, if this matter is from him, I am willing to believe it!"
With a soft sigh, Neptune smiled.
Then, he looked at Fisher Tiger.
"If I could, I would like to meet Marshal Charlot!"
"Because only then can I be sure of the truth of this matter!"
Hearing this, Fisher Tiger took a deep breath, and a smile bloomed on his face: "Marshal Charlot, you will arrive on Fish-Man Island soon!" ”
"He came to convince you of his firm determination on this matter!"
"No matter what resistance, Lord Marshal will be absolutely shattered!"
Neptune was stunned for a moment, then smiled again: "So, I'm relieved!" ”
The Sander arrived at the port of Fish-Man Island six hours after Fisher Tiger arrived on Fish-Man Island.
When he stepped out of the boat, the fishmen standing in the harbor were all wide-eyed and even trembling.
No one will not fail to recognize this face, and after the battle on the top, Xia Le's face has been spread all over the world.
"Marshal, Charlot!!"
"The most powerful navy in history has come to Fish-Man Island!"
"What the hell is going on? How did he end up here? ”
Suddenly, there was a sense of tension and fear throughout the port.
It is really Xia Le, a man, who is too heavy for the weight of the world, to a level that is impossible to ignore, even terrifying.
If it's a pirate, I'm afraid I can't even stand and talk at this moment.
And when the Sander once again walked down a few people one after another, the entire port fell into an inexplicable dead silence.
"Admiral of the Admiral, Yellow Ape!"
"And the brigadier general!"
"With such a lineup, does the Navy want to destroy Fish-Man Island?"
"Chances are, you know, this is still Whitebeard's territory, and in the center of the island, there's still Whitebeard's pirate flag!"
The panic quickly spread, making everyone's faces extremely ugly.
The contradiction between the navy and the pirates is naturally extremely clear to everyone.
The group of people standing under the Sander made countless fishmen feel terrified, and some even felt that the end of Fish-Man Island was coming.
Xia Le quietly glanced at the group in front of him, naturally feeling the fear of the fish people, his brows furrowed slightly.
Obviously, the problem between the fish-man and the human is more serious than he imagined. In particular, distrust of the Navy.
"There is still a long way to go!"
Xia Le sighed lightly.
"Fish-people and humans, but there has never been a time when they trust each other."
"Here, it's always been a big trouble for the navy!"
The yellow ape whispered.
If you want to include Fish-Man Island in your hands, it is undoubtedly a big trouble, and he can't even believe the contradictions and difficulties that he has to experience.
I have to admit that the new marshal is a guy who dares to think and do.
"Are you just standing here?"
"It seems that our Lieutenant General Tiger seems to have forgotten about us!"
Xia Le said with a smile.
"Big Brother Tiger, you should be discussing something important with His Majesty Neptune right now, right?"
Rosinandi said with a smile.
"Hahaha!"
"Just say it casually!"
Xia Le said with a smile, and then pointed to the back of the crowd in front of him.
"Look, they're here!"
As soon as the words fell, the crowd in the port quickly parted.
"His Majesty Neptune is here!"
"Big Brother Fisher Tiger! It's really Big Brother Tiger, he's still alive! ”
"And His Highness the Dragon Palace!"
"Something big is going to happen to Fish-Man Island!"
The crowd was in turmoil, looking at everyone in shock.
Then they saw Neptune striding in front of Charlotte with a solemn face.
"Neptune, on behalf of the Dragon Palace Kingdom, welcomes the arrival of His Excellency the Marshal!"
