"'Princess Otohime's wish'?" David Jones remembers that Princess Otohime, the wife of Neptune, was murdered by Hody about eight years ago, "What's that? ”

"Princess Otohime believes that merfolk and fish-people can coexist with humans, and that they can live above the surface of the sea in an open and honest manner, welcome the sun, and breathe fresh air." Yarrita explained.

In fact, she also heard it from Madame Charlie, and these days, she has become friends with Madame Charlie with her excellent appearance, temperament, and eloquence that she has exercised.

Lady Xia Li told her about the future of Fish-Man Island that Princess Otohime wanted to realize back then.

In fact, the inhabitants of Fish-Man Island do not necessarily need to move from here to sea and land.

Princess Otohime wants the residents to have and should have a choice, that is, to choose whether to go to sea or stay under the sea.

But now they don't have this right, so they can only be forced to retreat on Fish-Man Island, and it's quite good to be able to protect themselves.

If they move to the sea in a hurry, they will be left with a lot of trouble just by the criminal business of selling merfolk and fishmen.

Not to mention that after losing the natural barrier of the deep sea, you will encounter attacks from pirates and navies.

Even if they paid the "Heavenly Gold", the "Celestial Dragons" would only ask the navy to keep the ruling top of the Dragon Palace Kingdom.

As for what will happen to the merfolk and fish-people at the bottom, it's all inconsequential trivialities.

David Jones asked with some curiosity, "What makes Lady Charlie believe that we can fulfill this wish?" Is it her divination again? ”

"Lady Charlie has smashed the crystal ball and promised not to prophesy again for the rest of her life." Arrita replied.

"She has learned some truths from our actions, instead of being afraid and worried about the predicted future, it is better to start from practical actions, step by step, change Fish-Man Island and create the future."

David Jones is not opposed to Mrs. Charlie's desire to pursue a better future for Fish-Man Island, as long as it does not conflict with his core interests.

He is fair, as long as you give him what he needs, he will protect you, and if you unilaterally tear up the contract, you will bear the consequences.

"Who's the other one?" David Jones looked at the male merfolk.

The male mermaid bandaged his wound and noticed Davy Jones' gaze, and he bowed to David Jones with Lady Charlie.

However, without Yarrita's summons, they did not dare to rush over to meet.

"He is Dan the shipwright, and his brother is the 'world's number one boatwright', and Dan also has extremely exquisite skills." "He is grateful to you for avenging his evil and is willing to do something for you. ”

"I avenge him?" David Jones wondered, he didn't remember seeing this mermaid, let alone "revenge...... Is it because of these "supernovae"?

Sure enough, Yarrita's red lips hooked up, and she said with a smile: "At that time, Urki, one of the 'supernovas', seriously injured him, and it was you who took action and knocked Urki and the others down. ”

Only then did David Jones remember that there was indeed a faint aura under the perception of seeing and hearing at that time, but it didn't matter, so he didn't pay attention to it.

Now that I think about it, that person is Dan.

"What can he give me?"

"He can build ships for us, and with enough manpower and materials, he can build a fleet for us, and more."

David Jones bowed his head and said, "Yarrita, give Lady Charlie and Dan what they want, and let them do things for me with peace of mind." ”

"Yes, Captain."

"Where are the 'supernova' captives?"

"Over there." Arrita pointed to the shadow between the Terror Ghost and the hull graveyard, "Hachi and the Fishmen are watching over them. ”

David Jones walked over, and sure enough, he saw Hachi pull out six long knives and walk back and forth in front of those "supernovas" with a straight face.

Hachi doesn't have a good impression of this group of pirates who are harming his hometown, as long as they have a stir, they will come forward and teach them a hard lesson.

There are also two ways to dispose of "supernovas", and they are completely different treatments.

For people like "Big Belly" Bonnie and "Magician" Hawkins who have expressed their willingness to surrender, they and their crews have a certain range of freedom of movement.

It's just that there is still to be a minimum of care.

And the other several "supernovae" do not have such good things.

The five Devil Fruit abilities, "Captain" Kidd, "Red Flag" Drake, "Haiming" Apu, "Gang" Becky, and "Strange Monk" Urki, are all subject to "special restraints".

Most of their bodies went through the bubble wrap and into the sea, with only their heads still on the inside of the bubble wrap.

This immersion area makes them exhausted and unable to act.

Kira, the "Killer Warrior", and many pirates who did not eat the Devil Fruit were tied together.

If they wanted to get up, they all had to get up together, and their weapons were put away.

Seeing David Jones coming, Hachi's eyes lit up, and he hurriedly trotted over, forgetting to even put the knife away.

Fortunately, when he got closer, he noticed this, and then he was embarrassed to put the knife into the sheath.

"Captain!"

David Jones didn't care, and he didn't mean to change the personality of his subordinates, but just asked, "Are they all here?" ”

"Yes, Captain!" Xiaoba replied in a loud voice, "None of them ran away, and their wounds were bandaged, so they can't die for the time being." ”

Hearing Xiaohachi's loud response, the "supernovas" who had originally lowered their heads all raised their heads and stared at the "Deep Sea Hades" who had wiped them out.

Which of them is not eager to show their strength in the "new world" and become the new "Four Emperors"?

However, no one thought that it was over before it even began.

They all fell at the entrance to the "New World" - Fish-Man Island?!

In the past, they absolutely scoffed at this kind of thing, but now it is happening.

For a while, some people regretted it, and some people were angry.

It was also at this time that one of the "supernovas" shouted, "Captain David Jones, I have something to say!" ”

Everyone looked over, and it turned out to be Drake.

Drake was now uncomfortable with only his head unsubmerged in the seawater, but he still struggled to lift his jaw, which had crossed scars, and made a sound at this moment.

He deliberately chose this moment to surrender to Yarrita or Hachi before that, and it was not as noticeable as the surrender to David Jones at this time.

In this way, his appearance of "degenerate rear admiral" will be implemented again, and no one will suspect that he is self-defiled and undercover.

"Captain David Jones, I've seen how powerful you are." Drake stared at David Jones with blazing eyes and said as sincerely as he could, "I'm willing to follow you!" ”

Apu, who was beside Drake, couldn't help but whistle and said with a smile: "Drake, it's really yours." ”

Drake didn't seem to hear Apu's ridicule, but said to himself, "I am willing to become one of the captains of your fleet and help you become the new 'Four Emperors'." ”

He was also playing loudly in his heart.

When he someday gets to the same position as the captain of "Whitebeard", he will be able to defeat David Jones in cooperation with the Navy Headquarters.

When the "top war", didn't "Whitebeard" suffer such a backstabbing?

However, the person who stabbed "Whitebeard" was deceived by "Akainu" Sakasky, and Drake was originally on the side of the Navy.

Afterwards, as long as Lieutenant General Tsuru and other insiders are still alive, they will definitely be able to restore his innocence and honor.

I just don't know, can I hide it from David Jones in front of me?

In fact, Drake was thinking too much.

David Jones never cared if his subordinates lied to him, whether they were loyal, whether they harbored evil intentions.

He walked over and stared at Drake condescendingly, the tentacles under the black robe crawled down, wrapped around Drake's neck, and climbed up Drake's face.

"My contract is that you will be my crew for 100 years, and then you will be free." David Jones smiled, as if demonically seduced, "Do you want to sign this contract with me?" ”

Drake endured the discomfort of the slippery touch of his tentacles, swallowed coldly on his hands and feet, and replied, "I do!" ”

Then, he shuddered violently, and felt as if something had changed throughout his body.

David Jones never cared if his subordinates lied to him, whether they were loyal, whether they harbored evil intentions.

Because how many of the people who signed the contract with him were sincere in the beginning?

It doesn't matter, time, fear, will make them loyal.
