Chapter 371: Tea Party Invitation and Secret Spy! (2-in-1)
After a brief stay on the island, the warship Dawn left the city of Chambord and sailed away from the harbor of the Chambord Islands and headed for Fish-Man Island under the watchful eye of the naval headquarters.
This time on the return voyage, Ji Guoyuanyi did not plan to return to the New World through the secret passage of the navy, the Red Canyon, but planned to pass through Fish-Man Island and see the development of the Fish-Man Navy under Jinping, and then return to Thor Island.
Knowing that Ji Guoyuan Yihe and Yixiao and others were coming to Fish-Man Island, on this day, the Dragon Palace City began to get busy early.
Unlike the people of Dressrosa, the fishmen and mermaids on Fish-Man Island do not have any resentment towards Jiguoyuan.
After the people of the country broke into the Holy Land and were deprived of the position of general, Dressrosa and Fish-Man Island were kicked out of the ranks of the member countries by the World Government. The people of Dressrosa, who were originally protected by the navy, were kicked out of the ranks of the member countries, which had a great impact on the general population.
However, Fish-Man Island itself is isolated from the world, and even the inhabitants of Fish-Man Island have been plagued by pirates since the era of pirates. And since the first national fate asked Jinping to establish the so-called naval branch on Fish-Man Island and hang the flag of the new navy.
The situation of bandits raging on Fish-Man Island has completely changed.
It is precisely because of this that the entire Fish-Man Island, from King Neptune and Princess Otohime, to the ordinary people, have a very good impression of Jiguo Yuanyi.
As for the possibility that Jiguo Yuanyi completely destroyed the connection between Fish-Man Island and human society?
This kind of thing is really nothing for ordinary fishmen and mermaids, they have no good feelings for the vast majority of humans, and after so many years, there is not much contact with humans on land, so even if they completely cut off contact, it doesn't matter to Fish-Man Island.
When Jiguo's ship entered the port of Fish-Man Island, the guards on the port entrance pier quickly greeted him, and Jinping, who had a short rest in the dock booth, also immediately got the news and greeted him.
Under the guidance of Jinping and a group of guards, Ji Guoyuan and his party went to Dragon Palace City in a mighty way, and were warmly received by King Neptune.
During the banquet, King Neptune asked about the attack on the city by the people of Jiguoyuan some time ago, and under the appearance of Princess Scarlet, King Neptune understood what happened, and then treated Jiguoyuan and others even more warmly, and kept toasting Jiguoyuanyi.
Ji Guo Yuan Yi is actually not good at this kind of entertainment, and he never drinks, but fortunately, he has a special physique, and alcohol has no effect on him at all, so in the face of King Neptune who toasts enthusiastically, Ji Guo Yuan Yi is also a person who does not refuse.
This banquet can be regarded as a joy for the guests and hosts.
After the meal, Ji Kunichi went to visit the new naval branch of Fish-Man Island at the invitation of Jinpei, while Cyrus, along with his wife and daughter, accompanied by Princess Otohime, went sightseeing and walking on Fish-Man Island.
After all, Scarlet is the daughter of King Liku, and this banquet is to receive Jiguo Yuanyi, but it is actually used to receive Scarlet.
It was not only Princess Otohime who accompanied Scarlet on a sightseeing walk, in addition to some guards, Princess Otohime also called several of her sons, and at the same time, the newly born mermaid princess Shirahoshi was also lying on a bubble chair and was taken out of Ryugu City.
The young Rebecca came to Fish-Man Island for the first time, and the mermaid who only appeared in the fairy tale was now alive in front of her eyes, and the sightseeing tour under the sea also made the young Rebecca feel very novel, and the completely different scenery on Fish-Man Island and the land also made Rebecca intoxicated.
The "dark" experiences on the Isle of Justice and the City of Advancement, washed over by good things, are soon buried in the depths of Rebecca's memory.
Rebecca, who had become a little cringeful and afraid of life after coming out of Justice Island, gradually became cheerful.
The transformation of her daughter was naturally seen by Cyrus, and the heart that had been hanging for this time was finally completely let go.
With no worries in his heart, Cyrus was finally able to enjoy his rare leisure time.
Scarlet could feel her husband's relaxed state now, and while walking, she hugged Rebecca, who was already tired, and gently snuggled up to Cyrus's chest, and said with some expectation:
"Cyrus, how nice it would be if you could live like this all the time, without worrying about it, and living in complete freedom!"
"The world is so big, and I'm afraid there are many, many more beautiful things that Rebecca and I have never seen before."
"I really want to see it with my own eyes! It's just our family."
A simple wish, for Scarlet, is actually an unattainable luxury.
"I'm sorry, Scarlet."
"It's my fault, I can't give you this."
When Cyrus heard this, he also understood his wife's intentions, gently put his arm around Scarlet's shoulder, took Rebecca from Scarlet's arms with one hand, and apologized at the same time, showing some self-reproach.
"Don't think about it, I'm just sighing."
"I am the princess of Dressrosa, and I know very well what kind of responsibility I have on my shoulders."
"You too. Mr. Ji Kokuenichi is an ambitious person, you just have to follow him and do what you are supposed to do. β
Scarlet was a gentle and virtuous wife, she could feel Cyrus's difficulty, knew what Cyrus really wanted to do, and saw Cyrus's face blaming herself, and said softly and comfortingly.
Cyrus didn't say much, but hugged Scarlet hard, quietly enjoying the rare leisure time that belonged to their family.
Princess Otohime, who was helping to meet the road in front, noticed that Cyrus and his wife were snuggling up to each other and stopped to watch the scenery, but she didn't urge, smiled and walked to Shirahoshi, who was still a baby, and gently fiddled with Shirahoshi's "little" hand with both hands, and placed her most simple wish as a mother on Xiao Shirahoshi:
"White Star~"
"I hope you can grow up healthy and healthy, be able to get a group of partners who talk about everything, be able to do what you want to do, and be able to be with people who really like you."
"Jinping, you mean. An invitation from Cake Island? β
"Not only did you invite King Neptune and Princess Otohime, but you also invited you?"
Just as Cyrus was immersed in a peaceful life. After Guoyuan Yihe and Yixiao and others briefly browsed the branch construction, they entered his office at the invitation of Jinping.
Closing the door, Jinping revealed a big news to Ji Guoyuanyi.
Cake Island is the home of BIG MOM Charlotte Lingling in the New World. And Charlotte Lingling, who used to be a crew member of the Rocks Pirates, is a figure of the same era as Whitebeard and Roger.
Now the bounty is as high as 4,388 million Bailey, and this bounty is already more than ten years ago, Charlotte Lingling has not "shown up" to do anything in person for a long time, and now many things in the BIG MOM Pirates are done by Charlotte Lingling's children.
For example, her son, now 32-year-old Katakuri, is even a pirate with a bounty of 860 million, and even Katakuri rarely comes forward to "do things" now, and more people go out to his younger siblings and some pirate cadres.
Charlotte Lingling's BIG MOM Pirates can be said to be one of the behemoths of the New World, and there is information about this pirate group, and even Ji Guoyuanichi can't help but pay attention to it.
"Well, the messenger of Cake Island, who came some time ago, is a race called the Adacho Clan, known as the Dandanbaron."
"Age, about 30 years old."
"The purpose of coming to Fish-Man Island is twofold, one is to send invitations to King Neptune and me to invite us to a tea party at BIG MOM to celebrate the full moon of her newborn daughter, Charlotte Flampe; Another purpose is to procure cakes. β
"The cakes on Fish-Man Island are different from those on land, and they have different flavors, and I heard that BIG MOM likes the cakes produced on Fish-Man Island very much."
In Jinping's office, Ji Guoyuan and everyone sat around the coffee table, listening to Jinping's words, and their hearts were all worried.
An invitation to a tea party from the pirates, this is the first time they've encountered this kind of thing.
"Not only do pirates spend money on purchases, but they also send out invitations?"
"This thing sounds new."
Xiong has seen and heard a little less than others, and slave life is the "main theme" of the first half of his life, so when he heard Jinping's words, he couldn't help but be curious.
"The BIG MOM Pirates are a little different from other pirates, in the nations of Charlotte Lingling, there are various races living in harmony with each other and following Charlotte Lingling's rules."
"These pirates are only interested in a few things."
"Devil fruits related to desserts or desserts; Delicious desserts. β
"This group of pirates is relatively well-behaved."
"Transactions are also equivalent exchanges. Of course, the things they fancy can only be provided to them first, otherwise, they will be attacked, which can be regarded as an equivalent exchange under the premise of forced buying and selling."
"And if they don't deliver their orders on time or if there is even the slightest mistake, they will show their true colors as pirates."
"A few years ago, there was a country that was famous for baking, but it was wiped out because it could not supply enough bread within the agreed time."
And the reason. It was that country that planned to pay the heavenly gold to seek the asylum of the world government, and many citizens were imprisoned because they could not come up with the money, which led to a drastic reduction in the number of people who baked bread, so that the contract was missed. β
The style of the BIG MOM Pirates is obviously much more disciplined than that of other pirates in the New World.
As long as the confectionery factories under the protection of the Big Mom Pirates do their part, their lives will not be in danger, and they will even live in the midst of all nations, which is much safer than living on other islands.
ALTHOUGH BIG MOM HERSELF IS MOODY, AFTER FIGURING OUT HER TEMPERAMENT, SHE IS STILL BETTER TO GET ALONG WITH THAN THE DRAGONS
And those cadres of all countries are much more sensible than CP.
I have to say, this is really a bit ironic.
"Listen to what you mean, did Fish-Man Island also take over the dessert order from the BIG MOM Pirates?"
"Their order requirements should be very harsh, right? The quantity is large, the construction period is short, the price is low, and it is not possible to accept it. β
"When Fish-Man Island is not finished, I will use the threat of destroying the country as a threat, bring you under my command, and then control the power of life and death of the people on Fish-Man Island, and force the fish-people and mermaids to become cheap labor for the BIG MOM Pirates!"
"Really?"
Yixiao has always speculated about pirates with the greatest malice, and the number of ways of the BIG MOM pirates is nothing more than the old clichΓ© played by the pirates, and he has seen too many before he lost his sight.
Hearing this, Jinping was stunned, and asked with some doubts:
"Mr. Smile, why do you think so?"
"The price they gave should be pretty good, because King Neptune was very happy after signing the order with Cake Island."
"In terms of the date, it's not a problem, although it's urgent, but the date is said by the dessert chef invited by King Neptune, and the other party has no objection."
"My concern is not that the order will not be ordered, but whether or not King Neptune will decline the invitation of the BIG MOM Pirates."
"After all."
When Jinping spoke, he cautiously glanced at Jiguo Yuanyi's face. In his cognition, Ji Guoyuan is the kind of person who is jealous and hateful, and if he knew that Fish-Man Island was in contact with pirates in the New World behind his back, he didn't know what he would do.
At the banquet to entertain Jiguo Yuanyi, King Neptune didn't say anything, but also to let Jinping, his own person who succeeded Guoyuanyi, explore the tone first.
If the will to oppose the country is strong, then Fish-Man Island will not be too involved with the BIG MOM Pirates, and after completing the order, it will reduce the intersection.
In Neptune's opinion, with their position on Fish-Man Island, they can completely swim between Jiguo Yuanyi and the BIG MOM Pirates, after all, there is no so-called "black" and "white" on these two sides, everyone is a wanted criminal, and no one should look down on anyone.
And Jiguo Yuanyi and Pirates are not the same, Jiguo Yuanyi does not have that concept of "territory" on Fish-Man Island, and their Fish-Man Island is highly autonomous.
Sensing Jinping's gaze, Ji Guoyuan Yi also shook his head with a smile after a short silence, and said somewhat casually:
"You do business, you do business, it's your freedom."
"And it's also a dessert business, not arms and other things that have the potential to cause chaos."
"It's up to you to decide for yourself."
"As for the other party's invitation to the tea party, if you want to go, you can go."
"This kind of thing, just let King Neptune decide for himself."
"However, don't blame me for not reminding you of some things, pirates are pirates after all, and in other people's territory, their lives are taken care of."
Ji Guoyuan did not show any fierce opposition to this matter, as Neptune thought in his heart, this was their internal affairs on Fish-Man Island, and it had nothing to do with Ji Guoyuan.
As long as people's lives are not in danger and there is no chaos, there is no reason for Jiguo Yuanyi to meddle in other things.
"Hmm"
"I'll tell King Neptune to keep an eye on himself when he goes."
When Jinping heard Ji Guoyuan's words, he also nodded with a smile.
And when he heard this, he couldn't help asking: "Jinping, what you mean, don't you plan to go?" β
Hearing this, Jinping shook his head, and asked as a matter of course, "Why should I go?" β
"I'm not like King Neptune, I'm the new navy!"
As he spoke, a smile appeared on Jinping's face, and several people in the office also smiled when they heard Jinping's words.
"Bolu-"
And at this moment, a sudden sound of a phone bug came from Ji Guoyuanyi's arms.
Ji Guoyuan touched the phone bug in his arms, glanced at the phone bug, and his face immediately became serious.
didn't shy away from Yixiao and Mihawk and the others, signaled Yixiao and others to be quiet, and then directly picked up the phone bug and didn't talk.
After connecting, a male voice with a lowered voice came from the other end of the phone bug:
"Number 9527."
"The Navy Headquarters' intention is to make you and your men the Seven Martial Seas."
After a short sentence, a busy sound came from the receiver of the phone bug.
Ji Guoyuan took the phone bug into his arms, and his face was thoughtful.
In the office of the head of the Crime Investigation Division of the Navy Headquarters, Tianzheng locked a phone bug in a drawer next to his desk, picked up the pen again, and handled the documents at hand in a decent manner.
