Lindsay, Uta, Klocodahl, Robin.

These four have been working together for a long time.

If Klockdahl were asked which of the four of them was "the easiest to get along with", whose name would Klockdahl say?

A-

"Nicole Robin."

Primitive people are too detached in their thinking, and they are tired of getting along with them, so they are naturally excluded.

And what about the other little girl?

Uta.

She is the daughter of [redhead] Shanks, and is well protected by Shanks.

Compared to the [Son of the Devil] who was saddled with the tragedy of O'Hara, Uta's past is obviously much more sunny.

But that's exactly the problem.

Nicole Robin has been through so much, including the relentless artillery fire of the Demon Slayer Order, and the Giants Vice Admiral Sauro whom she once mentioned.

From an internal point of view, Nicole Robin has already stabilized.

Keuta is different.

The "power" she possesses, including the fruit of the song and the totemjika, is far beyond her inner body at this stage.

In other words, Uta's whole person is actually "very unstable".

Thanks to the more unstable Aven Lindsay, Uta's condition has remained normal, but a huge hidden danger remains!

Klockdahl knows this.

So when Uta behaved "abnormally", Klockdal suddenly cheered up!

Looking at Uta as he took a deep breath, Klockdahl muttered inwardly.

"Totemjika is an ancient creation."

"Because of what happened before, it's normal for it to be afraid of primitive people, but why should it be afraid of a mermaid?"

"Shirahoshi - the princess of Fish-Man Island."

"Even though he's big, he's only a two- or three-year-old kid, so why can Totemjika be scared?"

Klockdal paused, somewhat incredulous.

"No, this mermaid princess has the same power as the [Demon], right?"

“……”

……

I thought about it for a long time to no avail.

At the beckoning of Princess Otohime, the three mermaid princes took Shirahoshi away, while the rest of the people sat around and chatted while eating.

Lindsay and Tiger hadn't seen each other for a long time, so they chatted about their recent situation through video calls.

"It turns out that the so-called 'Great Demon King of Sound' is real?"

Tiger remembered the fairy tale book he had stumbled upon when he was making trouble in the Holy Land of Mary Joa.

He thought it might help Lindsay, so he sent him to Alabastan.

Seeing Uta being lifted up by Lindsay, Tiger grinned and couldn't help but sigh:

"This sea is really vast!"

"Then again, I've been through a lot of ...... too"

Tiger Pan sat on the deck.

He introduces the members of the Sun Pirates, including Aaron, Hachi, and Shinpei, all of whom have volunteered to follow Tiger.

Among them, there is one who is particularly special.

She was a little human girl, not much older than Utta, and she was especially conspicuous among the fish-people.

She is one of the key cadres of the future revolutionary army, Kerra!

Time comes back to the present.

Kerra was a slave of the Draconians and was liberated by Fisher Tiger during the recent attack on Maryjoya.

Now, she is being escorted by the Sun Pirates all the way back to her homeland.

Along the way, Kella gradually untied the knot in her former slave, and her relationship with the Sun Pirates became better and better.

However, the gap between humans and fish is far beyond everyone's imagination!

In the near future, when Tiger and his party escort Kella back to her homeland, the humans on the island report the whereabouts of the Sun Pirates to the Navy.

This move directly led to the death of Fisher Tiger and the subsequent disintegration of the Sun Pirates!

After that, Kella left her homeland and eventually joined the revolutionary army.

But that's just one of many "possibilities".

The butterfly's wings are still flapping, and the fate of no one is certain.

Today's Tiger has seen more human good and evil, and naturally has more complex thoughts in his heart.

“……”

Lindsay and Tiger reminisced about the old days, and they always felt a lot happier, and couldn't help grinning:

"Anyway, a lot is going to happen on this sea!"

"yes......"

Tiger nodded, rubbing Kerra again.

"If you don't want to send this little ghost home, I really want to go back to Fish-Man Island to help."

"Help?"

Lindsey paused, remembering what she had heard earlier, and realizing that Tiger seemed to know better.

There is chaos about Fish-Man Island, and even the actions of various forces on the sea......

Sure enough.

Princess Otohime next to her suddenly opened her mouth and explained to everyone.

"Although it is indeed rude to extrapolate the troubles of our own country, these two things do need to be told to our 'friends'."

There are very few humans who are called friends by the Fish-People, and [Whitebeard] is one of them, and now [Demon] has been added.

"There is a certain 'overlap' between these two things."

Princess Otohime's face straightened and said slowly:

"First, according to the information intercepted by Tiger, there is a certain group of Four Emperor Pirates who are lurking in the territory of Fish-Man Island, and their specific identities are unknown."

This is more detailed information than before.

Although Lindsay and the others knew that there was a certain Four Emperors in the New World who had started to act, they never thought that the hands of the Four Emperors had reached Fish-Man Island!

No wonder the navy is like a great enemy, could it be that this Four Emperors want to start a war with [Whitebeard]?

Lindsay's brow furrowed, and she asked, "Why?" ”

"That's where the second thing comes along."

Princess Otohime took out a piece of paper and put it in front of Lindsay and the others.

"Not long ago, people from the World Government suddenly found us, that is, the royal family of the Dragon Palace Kingdom."

"They made a deal."

Princess Otohime paused.

"The Fish-People will be given a permanent land dwelling."

"—In return, the Fish-People need to assist the World Government in searching for the [Demons] who have fallen into the sea, and at the same time hand over all the 'ancient creations' in the Dragon Palace Kingdom."

"But in the end, we turned down the deal."

“？！”

As soon as these words were spoken, the eyes of the four humans widened.

At that moment, many questions were cleared and answered.

"Hehehehehe......"

Crocodall let out a low chuckle and muttered, "I see, I see......"

He understood.

All four understood.

The world government is worthy of being a world government, and the judgment is first-class.

They had already analyzed and judged that one of the purposes of the [Demon] Evan Lindsey was to create ancient creations scattered all over the world!

This includes historical texts, ancient ruins, and even ancient weapons including the blueprints of the Hades!

For some reason, the World Government did not want the Demons to come into contact with those ancient creations, so they began to search the world for all kinds of ancient creations.

And on the other side, in the New World.

The various heroes sensed the move of the world government.

Although the reason is unknown, how can something that the world government wants be ordinary?

Rumors about the "[Demon] Treasure" have spread ever since!

Unrest on the sea intensified.

The navy also received orders from the world government and began to defend it strictly.

“……”

"There are many ancient creations in Fish-Man Island, but the hand of the World Government can't reach in."

Crocodall analyzed:

"That's why they will negotiate with the royal family of the Dragon Palace Kingdom to try to solve this problem."

"A certain Four Emperors noticed this, so they also started the idea of the ancient creation of the Dragon Palace Kingdom!"

From then on, everything was clear!

The root of the turmoil lies in the demon's act of collecting ancient creations.

In the end, catalyzed by the heroes and rumors of the New World, it evolved into a huge upheaval involving many parties, and even a certain Four Emperors participated in it!

"That makes sense."

Klockdahl turned to Princess Otohime.

He'd heard all about this person countless times.

Princess Otohime has worked hard in recent years to find a land settlement for the Fish-People.

On the one hand, he is trying to communicate with the world government, and on the other hand, he is trying to collect signatures from the residents of Fish-Man Island.

"For Fish-Man Island, the World Government's proposal is a very good deal."

"You actually refused, it seems that the friendship between primitive people and you is indeed very deep."

“……”

"Not really."

Hearing Klocodahl's analysis, Princess Otohime shook her head.

"There is only one main reason why we reject the proposal of the world government."

She smiled and spat out a simple word—

"Because that's not right."

“……”

"What?"

Klockdahl was a little unresponsive.

Princess Otohime added, "Because it's a despicable wrongdoing, we won't do it." ”

Klockdahl was stunned, "That's all?" ”

"That's all."

Princess Otohime nodded, and her weak but firm voice sounded, indicating her pure kindness.

"Do what is right, not what is wrong."

"—Shouldn't it be?"
