The Glory of the Pirates

Chapter 33 Dilemma, Star of Hope

This is of course very unsatisfactory.

Although Murloc Island is the domain of Murlocs and Mermaids, it obviously lacks the ability to restrict the humans who come and go here.

It even happened frequently that slave traders disguised as merchant ships came to Murloc Island to snatch mermaids and then escaped easily.

After hearing Brett's question, King Neptune was silent for a moment, and then stroked his beard with some melancholy, "Of course no one would want to do such a thing, but it's impossible for us to monitor the humans who landed on Fishman Island all the time, right? "

Fishman Island is the connection point between the front and back sections of the great route. After all, only a small number of people can choose to change ships and take Marie Gioia. Most humans who want to travel between Paradise and New World can only choose to take the route of Fishman Island.

This also means that there are many ships landing on Fishman Island every day.

Pirates, merchants, members of the underworld.

Fish and dragons are mixed and there are many people.

There are even quite a few humans who settled on Fishman Island.

"At least strengthen the management of entry and exit," Bright said, "Strictly search the human ships entering and leaving the Fishman Island, just like this alone, to a large extent can prevent trafficking on the Fishman Island event."

In the final analysis, the management of entry and exit is too lax.

It is clearly a sovereign country, but it acts like a colony.

But it's actually not that difficult.

The terrain of Murloc Island is different from any other island above the sea.

For human beings, the only way to get in and out of Murloc Island safely is through the main entrance. That is to say, as long as they guard the main entrance, [-]% of the abduction and trafficking incidents cannot proceed.

Neptune nodded slightly, "I also understand this, but it is not easy to change."

"The Fishman Island connects the front and rear ends of the great sea route. Countless pirates go to the new world through here every year. How could those guys honestly let us check?"

Brett raised his brows lightly, "The times have changed, now is not the beginning of the era of great pirates, and the time when humans are raging on Murloc Island, Brother Jinbe is Shichibukai, even among human pirates, there are not many People dare to be the enemy of Qi Wuhai."

"Especially in this deep sea."

When I read comics in my previous life, I didn't think Qi Wuhai was so great, but after coming to this world, I realized that Qi Wuhai is indeed a top powerhouse only under the Pirate Emperor and Admiral.

The weakness of Fishman Island is relative to the world government and the monster pirates in the new world.

Even this kind of comparison has to be on the surface of the sea. In this deep sea, what about a monster like Kaido with white beard?

As long as Murloc's attitude is tougher, what can the pirates do?
"That makes sense."

Neptune nodded approvingly, he didn't mind the lack of respect in Brett's words, "Otohime always said that we should trust human beings, but our trust has never been reciprocated. "

So it has been said that Princess Otohime is a very good person, but her biggest shortcoming is that she trusts humans too much.

"But there is one more problem." Neptune said seriously, "You may not be clear, Brett, we are located in the deep sea, but we have many needs that are similar to those of humans at sea."

"We can't satisfy these needs by ourselves, so we largely rely on the merchant ships, smuggling ships, and even pirates and violent elements' ships."

"However, we ourselves lack sufficiently attractive products. Many humans who trade with us do so only when they land, so that we can buy what we need and sell our stuff. "

"If it's as you said, what should we do with the trade next? They might not bother to land on Murloc Island, but choose to go directly to the opposite side of the Red Earth Continent."

Brett knew from a young age that Murloc Island was not rich.

This island is indeed very beautiful, but the harsh geographical location, difficult traffic conditions, and human discrimination and resistance make it really difficult for various industries on this island to develop.

Even in the most prosperous towns, crimes caused by not being able to support children are common, let alone Murloc Street, Bright's hometown, where almost all unemployed people.

If the trade with humans is cut off, what will the island look like?

Bright understood that all he had been thinking about was the issue of strength comparison, but for Neptune, this might be the key.

This is indeed a very troublesome problem.

After all, the self-sufficiency of Murloc Island located in the deep sea is too weak.

Even the most basic necessities of life cannot be met.

After all, Fishman Island is not rich in textile raw materials.

Otherwise, why do legendary mermaids like to wear shells?

Not to mention other daily necessities, medicines and the like.

It is true that there are also human merchants who risked their lives at the bottom of the sea to come to Murloc Island for trade, but they are a minority.

Most people really just drop by.

After all, as Neptune said, Murloc Island lacks attractive commodities.

If strict entry-exit management policies are really implemented, what will happen to these businessmen who are probably not good birds?

Brett sighed.

The murlocs and mermaids faced so many difficulties.

"This is where the trouble is."

Jinbe sighed, "Although we are very unwilling, we cannot do without humans."

"However, brother, I will consider your suggestion."

But Neptune said, "Anyway, I can't do this kind of thing if I see the people being hurt and remain indifferent."

This is the advantage of a small country with few people. The upper and lower classes are not too separated.

Neptune has a strong ability to empathize with the people of Murloc Island.

"So, what do you think of my invitation?"

Neptune asked expectantly.

Fishman Island had few talents, and it was not easy to produce a future star that Jinping said. He felt that it must be cultivated vigorously.

It is precisely because of being bullied that we are more united.

"Let's talk later,"

Brett did not directly refuse, "Now my main goal is to practice."

It is of course convenient to become a high-level executive of the Dragon Palace Kingdom.

But obviously there is more to being a real powerhouse.

"That's it."

Neptune wasn't depressed either, "Indeed, although it's not good to say that, strength is the most important factor in this world."

"Then, brother, let Jinbe contact me when you want."

"Finally, please allow me to say thank you again."

After thanking Brett solemnly at the end, His Majesty the King of the Dragon Palace Kingdom left.

There are still many things that need him to deal with this riot.

"There's no need to worry about Brett,"

Jinbe patted Brett on the shoulder, "Take your time, the historical trajectory of hundreds of years will not be reversed in a short while."

Bright nodded.

It is indeed not an easy task for murlocs and mermaids to usher in a better tomorrow.

"Let's go back to Xia Li's place first,"

Jinbe smiled and said, "She should be very worried about you, Aaron and the others leave it to me."

"it is good."

Bright didn't refuse.

Although he didn't think Xia Li would be worried.

She has already read the script of the future.

On the way back to the Mermaid Cafe, Brett was lost in thought.

Sure enough, if you want to change the situation of Fishman Island, do you have to move this country from the bottom of the sea to the surface of the sea?

Go to the surface of the sea with sufficient supplies and rich resources!

In this resource-poor—

Ok?
Resource-poor?

A light flashed in Brett's mind.

Are the seabed resources poor?

Which genius came to this conclusion?
Almost didn't respond.

A smile spread across Brett's mouth.

In this case, will the predicament be easily resolved?
Brett returned to the Mermaid Cafe with excitement.

"Charlie, I'm back."

Brett pushed open the door of the café.

"Just thank Mrs. Nana!"

As soon as she entered the door, she saw little Nana standing triumphantly on the table with her hands on her hips.

Several mermaids surrounded her around the table, holding all kinds of food in their hands.

The mermaids had bright smiles on their faces, "Yes, this time it's all about Nana."

"If it wasn't for Nana, then the sisters really don't know what to do."

"Nana saved us, it's amazing!"

Is it the kidnapped mermaids?
"Hum hum!"

After being thanked, the little girl almost raised her nose to the sky, and unceremoniously ate the food from the hands of the mermaid sisters.

"Really, don't spoil her too much." Miss Miriam said helplessly from the side.

"Nana is our savior."

A mermaid girl turned around and said with a smile.

"That's right, without Nana, we really don't know what will happen." Another mermaid lady smiled pale, as if she was still afraid.

"It seems that Nana has done a great thing."

Brett walked to the counter and said to Charlie.

"It is indeed remarkable."

Charlie raised her head and looked at Brett, "You too."

Brett smiled slightly.

Looking at the happy faces of the mermaid ladies, it's hard to imagine how terrified they were a few hours ago.

They were rescued, but in the past history and in the future, how many people will be too late to be rescued?
"Brett, don't hesitate, just do what you want."

Brett heard Charlie's voice, and she said, "I'll always be watching over your back."

……

Fish Street.

After Aladdin's treatment, the injuries of Aaron's group have stabilized, but his house is indeed uninhabitable and crumbling.

When discussing where to live outside the house, some murlocs approached.

"Brother Aaron, what happened? There was a lot of commotion here just now! What happened to the thunder that rose from the sky? That fellow Neptune is here!"

The murlocs still don't know what happened.

Aaron hooked his mouth.

"Scary hahahaha! That's the thunder that announces the birth of the star of hope in Murloc Island!"

"He... the star of hope?"
