Chapter 244: Big Brother, You're Not Going to Be Betrayed, Are You?! (2-in-1)
At the same time that the news of the Navy's arrival on Fish-Man Island reached Ryugu Castle, the warship Dawn, led by the escort of the gateway to Fish-Man Island, also officially landed at the dock of Fish-Man Island.
There are many, many ways to enter Fish-Man Island, and entering through the gateway is the most formal way. The vast majority of pirates who come to Fish-Man Island privately enter Fish-Man Island directly from the sky above Fish-Man Island. The giant bubble that protects Fish-Man Island is the same thing as the film that ships coat before entering the deep sea.
When the membrane of the ship comes into contact with the membrane of Fish-Man Island, the membrane of the ship and the contents of the membrane will be automatically sucked into Fish-Man Island. However, there is a great risk in this way of entry, because there is a distance of hundreds of meters between the membrane on the top layer of Fish-Man Island and the ground, and the ships that are sucked into the membrane will fall directly to the ground.
Therefore, when entering Fish-Man Island illegally, pirates often choose a landing location to reduce the damage of their ships.
There are really very few people like Ji Guoyuan who have entered Fish-Man Island from the portal for so many years, and only the former One Piece Roger, and the Whitebeard Pirates who came to Fish-Man Island a few years ago have had such treatment.
These two pirates are world-famous pirates, and even though Neptune didn't know each other's intentions at first, he definitely didn't dare to clash with these pirates easily.
Fortunately, both the Roger Pirates and the Whitebeard Pirates are quite sensible teams, and after taking care of their own affairs, they left, without any negative impact on the people of Fish-Man Island.
But pirates like this are a minority after all, and the vast majority of the pirates who come to Fish-Man Island are not purely for "tourism", the mermaids and fish-people on the island are all good commodities, and the pirates' infringement on Fish-Man Island has never stopped.
And the reason why Neptune, the most king, is called the Great Knight is also partly because he often leads the escort army to clear out pirates who have entered the country illegally.
When he entered the island as the successor of the navy, Neptune, as the king, had just received the news and had not yet answered. However, the guards of the portal, out of trust in Tiger, did not fortify the navy at all.
"The Navy is coming to Fish-Man Island? Who is coming? ”
"What is their purpose, is it clear?"
"Since they are here, let them in first, although I don't know what their purpose is, but our Fish-Man Island, as a member of the world government, has not participated in the world conference for many years, but I believe that the navy will not be able to do anything on the island."
On the throne, Neptune, who had just received the news, said to the seahorse fishman in front of him after a little thought. The seahorse fishman who reported to him was the left minister of the kingdom, who usually assisted King Neptune in governing the country, and usually acted as a think tank and military role.
Hearing Neptune's arrangement, Minister Zuo bowed slightly, calmed down a little, and added:
"What is the purpose of the navy's visit to Fish-Man Island, I don't know for the time being."
"However, there are eyewitness guards who report that Tiger the Fishman is also in the ranks of the Navy."
"It should ...... It's not going to be troublesome. ”
Hearing the name Tiger, a goldfish-man standing in front of the Neptune Throne immediately lit up his eyes and asked, "Tiger?" Is that Tiger from the backstreet? ”
"Didn't he leave Fish-Man Island for a trip to the outside world more than a year ago?"
"He's back? Also become a navy? ”
The goldfish man who suddenly interjected in front of Neptune's throne was none other than Neptune's wife, Princess Otohime. Unlike those kingdoms on land where "the harem does not participate in politics", in Fish-Man Island, Princess Otohime is the kind of harem royal family with a lot of power, and Neptune often values Princess Otohime's opinion when making decisions.
This is not only because Neptune is deeply in love with Princess Otohime, but more importantly, Princess Otohime herself is an extremely intelligent person. In fact, within Fish-Man Island, the forces are also intricate, although the mermaid and the fish-man coexist harmoniously on the surface, the most acute contradiction has never disappeared.
Tiger, Blue Fat Jinping, and Aaron and his gang who will bring disaster to Orange Town in the future are all born in the backstreets.
The so-called backstreets are actually the places where the poorest fishmen on the island gather, and the vast majority of them are deeply affected by pirates, and those fishmen hate the humans who have brought them pain and disasters the most.
Princess Otohime's consistent advocacy of "harmonious coexistence" is that one day, a harmonious picture of peaceful coexistence between humans and fish-people and mermaids will really appear in this world, and she has been working hard for this thing, hoping that more people will recognize her concept.
Tiger, who was born in the backstreets, can be said to be the boss of the backstreets, and he was also influenced by Princess Otohime's thoughts to a certain extent, so he decided to get out of Fish-Man Island and see with his own eyes what the outside world is like.
It's just that Tiger didn't have a very smooth life until he met the navy of the Sword of Dawn.
As for Neptune, as a king, he has always been on the front line against foreign invaders, and he really doesn't have a good feeling for humans and pirates. But because he once met charismatic people like Roger and Whitebeard, and his beloved has always been keen to ease the relationship between humans and fishmen and mermaids.
Therefore, Neptune has no prejudice against humans, and in many cases, he is even more biased towards the opinion of his own princess.
It is precisely because of the royal family's inclination that Fish-Man Island is divided into two factions, and because Princess Otohime is usually kind to people and has a high reputation among the people, Fish-Man Island can maintain the current peace.
Such a peaceful situation can be said to be maintained by Princess Otohime, and if one day, Princess Otohime dies, then Fish-Man Island will eventually stand on the opposite side of humanity.
At that time, no matter how things develop, Fish-Man Island will not be able to appear on the sea in the end.
Under the leadership of the Fish-Man Guard, Ji Guoyuanichi and other navies walked through the bustling streets of Fish-Man Island and walked slowly towards Ryugu Castle, on the way, Tiger popularized the so-called "forces" on Fish-Man Island by Yuanyi's side, and told Yuanichi King Neptune and Princess Otohime in advance about the important figures on Fish-Man Island and their positions.
There is also the idea that he has been buried in his heart, and when he was on the road, Tiger told Ji Guoyuan at the same time.
The purpose of coming to Fish-Man Island is to recruit fish-people and mermaid warriors who are willing to join the navy, and in order to do such a thing, it is quite important to get the support of the royal family.
Tiger hopes that Yuanyi's recruitment plan will go well, so that a bridge will be built between human society and Fish-Man Island.
It's hard to get started.
This bridge is very important for Fish-Man Island.
"Lieutenant General, I think Princess Otohime would have strongly supported your plan if she knew about it."
"It's just that many fish-people in the backstreets are not good for human senses, and it's not easy to get them to join the navy."
"Although I think I have some prestige and can forcibly bring some people into the navy, this kind of coercion is ......"
On the street, the residents living on Fish-Man Island also heard the news of the Navy coming to the island at this time, and they all went out of their homes to stop and watch, this is the territory of Fish-Man Island, these Fish-Man people can't say that they are afraid, just like watching something new, they pay close attention to their naval team.
Tiger also walked beside Yuanyi, talking about his concerns.
"Tiger, don't worry, I will never force anyone to join our navy."
"People who want to join our navy must be able to identify with us in certain things."
"If the people you work with don't share the same ideals and goals, it's going to be very hard."
"If it is possible, I hope that my troops will be united and pure."
Ji Guoyuan looked at the surrounding environment curiously, and gave Tiger a reassurance.
The architectural style of Fish-Man Island is quite peculiar, and the people here are also adapted to local conditions, and the houses are basically built with "seafood" such as reefs, shells, and corals.
The houses at both ends of the road are brightly colored, the pedestrians on the side of the road are also of different shapes, and there are also great differences between fish people and fish people, and their original "varieties" are different, resulting in their appearance is also different, and it is difficult to say what they have in common with each other.
When I came to Fish-Man Island, Yuan Yi seemed to have come to the Fairy Country, and everything he saw was very new.
When Yuan Yi was observing the people around him, those fish people were also observing Yuan Yi and his party. In the past, when pirates arrived, the people scattered in a hurry, but this is the first time that humans have been observed in detail like now.
The aesthetics of the fish people are different from those of humans, such as Ji Guoyuanyi, a tall and thin human with a well-proportioned system, is not good-looking in the eyes of the fish people.
On the contrary, it is the tall and muscular guys like Tiger and Cyrus who are more favored by the fishmen. Cyrus and Tiger, who walked on the side of the edge of the side, frequently attracted beautiful eyes.
"Big Brother Tiger! You're back! ”
Not long after, a group of fishmen blocked the path of Yuanyi and the others.
There were about forty of these fish-men, and the fish-men at the head looked very young, with grayish-white skin, long noses, and inverted saws on both sides, like flipped double-sided serrations.
Wearing a checkered shirt on his upper body, a pair of brown shorts on his lower body, and a pair of slippers on his feet, he looked like a "second slipper", and after leading people to block the way of the navy, he shouted at Tiger with a face full of surprise.
Aaron.
The leader of the fishmen who stopped them was none other than Aaron, a sawtooth shark man. After Tiger left Fish-Man Island and Jinping was recruited by Neptune and Princess Otohime to join the kingdom's guards and left the backstreets, the young Aaron became the boss of the backstreets.
The power of poor local communities will expand infinitely, and the backstreets of Fish-Man Island are just like that. Neptune thought about rectification, but the fish people in the backstreets had different ideas from them, and the benevolent Neptune did not want internal strife in his country, so he took a laissez-faire attitude towards the backstreets.
There are only a few thousand fish-people left and right, so let them live according to their own ideas.
Simply under Tiger's constraints, the backstreets were only cruel to foreign pirates, and had no effect on the rest of the island, so Neptune didn't care about them. After Tiger left, Aaron, who became the boss, continued Tiger's approach, targeting only hated outsiders, and treating the rest of the island as nothing to the rest of the island.
After a period of operation, the backstreet was also completely controlled by Aaron.
As for Tiger, as the "handle" of the original backstreet, he has always been regarded as an idol by Aaron, and when he saw Tiger come back, Aaron's first reaction was of course to be happy.
"Oh! Aaron! ”
"I haven't seen you for more than a year, and you're still the same!"
"Hehehe, it's not right, it's stronger!"
The appearance of Ah Long and others made the navy behind Yuan Yi a little nervous. Unlike other ordinary people on Fish-Man Island, the navy felt a strong evil aura from Ah Long's group.
The navy who has been fighting with pirates all year round is no stranger to this kind of atmosphere, seeing this group of fishmen, the navy is also secretly vigilant, and their eyes have looked at Ji Guoyuanyi, once Ji Guoyuan Yi gives an order, they will rush out directly and destroy the fishman gang in front of them.
The ferocious aura emanating from the other party, which ordinary navies can feel, can of course also be felt by Ji Guoyuanichi. The environment will shape people, and people who grow up in different environments have different aura.
Ji Guoyuanyi also set his eyes on Ah Long and the fish people behind him at this time, and the memory of Ah Long came to mind. Although the memory is long, looking at Ah Long's face, the other party's information still clearly appears in Yuanyi's mind.
"Hahaha, Big Brother Tiger, don't make fun of me."
"It's you. How did you get mixed up with humans? ”
When Ji Guoyuan looked at Ah Long, Ah Long was also looking at the "ordinary human" standing beside Tiger, and saw the outfit on Tiger's body, which was connected to the news he heard.
Aaron was convinced that his beloved big brother had really become a navy and became. Lackeys of man!
When he said that to Tiger, although Aaron's face was still happy, his eyes were full of disappointment.
Tiger didn't seem to notice Aaron's emotions, but instead leaned sideways and said happily to Aaron: "I'm a member of the Navy now." ”
"It's the captain of the Sword of Dawn naval branch."
"Na, this is my immediate superior, Lieutenant General Ji Guoyuan."
"This time I came to Fish-Man Island, and I accompanied the vice admiral to recruit the navy!"
"Lieutenant General, I hope to become a special operations team, Aaron, do you have any ideas?"
"Do you want to join our navy!"
Listening to the "We Navy" in Tiger's mouth, the corners of Aaron's eyes couldn't help twitching, and then he shook his head slightly embarrassedly and refused: "I'm sorry, Brother Tiger, I'm not interested in being a navy." ”
"And I don't think humans would accept us fish-people so easily."
"Big Brother Tiger, you should know what humans are like, right?"
"How can we be regarded as companions by them? Will you be deceived by rhetoric? ”
"When our men come ashore, will they be sacrificed as slaves to the nobles?"
"Big brother, you won't be sold by these humans and still count the money, right?"
Although Aaron grew up on Fish-Man Island, he has never been exposed to the world of the sea.
But from the mouths of the pirates he killed, Aaron was still able to roughly paint a picture of the outside world in his mind.
For humans, Aaron is completely different from Tiger, and he will never trust humans easily.
Or Aaron, he would never trust any humans!
Looking at Tiger's current appearance, Aaron's longing for Tiger in his heart also quickly dissipated, which I'm afraid Aaron himself didn't notice.
When Ah Long said that, he did not shy away from Ji Guoyuanyi's navy, and his words also made the navy furious, and Cyrus also glared at Ah Long, his face full of anger.
The other party actually classified them as the same kind of people as those pirates and slave traders.
This is an absolute insult to a person like Cyrus with a strong sense of honor!
Realizing that Aaron had spoken inappropriately, Tiger also frowned, and then quickly looked back at his fellow naval officers, and sure enough, he saw a thick anger on the faces of Cyrus.
It was like eating Aaron.
Then Tiger's eyes hurriedly looked at Jiguo Yuanyi, Tiger was afraid that Aaron's words would anger Jiguo Yuanyi, if there was a conflict between the navy and the fishmen in the backstreet, no matter who was right or wrong, the navy's plan to recruit troops on Fish-Man Island would definitely be in vain.
When he looked at Jiguo Yuanyi, Tiger couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief.
Jiguoyuan's dark color was plain, and there was no meaning of anger at all, which also made Tiger feel relieved.
"You"
"It's called Aaron, right?"
"I think your concerns are superfluous, humans and humans are different, just as you are the difference between fish people and fish people."
"You said yes? Aaron"
