From a Pirate to a Revolutionary Mentor

Chapter 164: Mermaid Princess: Shirahoshi

Under the red soil continent, 10,000 meters below the sea.

In the Ryugu Castle above Fishman Island, there were only three people in the huge meeting hall at the moment.

King Neptune, Princess Otohime, and Felshertig.

As the former leader of Fishman Street, Fershetig, who went on an adventure at sea, was already being watched by Ryugu Castle. This adventure lasted for several years, and he would naturally be received after returning to Fishman Island.

And because Kevin mentioned in two days, Tiger scheduled the meeting for more than a week later, thinking that taking his benefactor to visit Fish-man Island before that would also allow the Revolutionary Army to have a basic understanding of their desire for Fish-man Island.

The most important thing...perhaps deep in his heart, he wanted this gentleman from the Revolutionary Army to have sympathy for Fishman Island.

However, time passed day by day, until today, the day agreed to meet the king and princess, the gentleman still did not show up.

There was no other choice, Tiger had to come to Ryugu Castle alone.

"Felsher Tiger, didn't you say before that there would be another human coming with you?"

Neptune looked at Tiger who was kneeling on one knee below: "In order to be able to talk with this human guest, the princess has specially prepared what she wanted to ask for a long time in advance today."

Tiger replied helplessly: "The gentleman originally said that he would come to Fishman Island a few days ago, but now it seems that he was delayed. But this time, in fact, I need to tell you and the princess about my experience on land."

Princess Otohime beside her was obviously very interested: "How about the experience of traveling on land this time? The higher sky, more sunshine, and the vast and boundless sea are really a great experience."

The words fell, but the two soon discovered that Tiger's face was not happy, and there was even a hint of pain and relief because of the memories.

At this moment, Princess Otohime's natural observation ability came into play.

"So... did you go through something very painful?"

Tiger lowered his head and tears rolled down to the ground: "In fact, more than a week ago, I was just above Fishman Island, in Marijoa on the Red Earth Continent. There... I became a slave of the Celestial Dragons."

slave……

Neptune's originally leaning body was sitting up, and tears were flashing in Princess Otohime's eyes.

She could sense Tiger's inner thoughts, and her natural gift of empathy allowed her to understand a little of the pain the person in front of her was going through in Mary Joa.

After Tiger returned to Fishman Island, he did not tell his two fellow travelers anything about Marijoa.

When I told it to him now, I burst into tears as if to vent my feelings.

But in fact, a big reason was the influence of Princess Otohime's resonance with it.

"It's painful, right? That kind of experience..."

Princess Otohime, who also had red eyes, came to Tiger and wiped away his tears with her hand: "Now... you are home."

Tiger knelt on one knee with his head buried in his arms, venting the emotions aroused by a few words.

After a while, Neptune on the throne said, "No one has ever escaped from Marijoa... Tiger, did the humans you are going to bring with you help you this time?"

Tiger calmed down and said, "Yes. This is exactly why I want to bring that benefactor to meet you two."

Neptune nodded. "He saved you from Marijoa, and perhaps the two compatriots from Fishman Street who came back with you. That human can be said to be the benefactor of Fishman Island."

Tiger shook his head slightly: "Not just a benefactor, Your Majesty Neptune. This experience abroad has allowed me to see many different things, and I think what this gentleman said is related to the future of Fishman Island."

future?

Neptune was stunned, and Princess Otohime beside him looked at Tiger.

And Tiger continued: "There is no distinction between high and low life. All intelligent life is equal."

Princess Otohime's eyes flickered: "I really want to meet the gentleman who can say this."

Neptune's eyes narrowed slightly. Compared to Princess Otohime, he was more realistic as he had known Roger since they were young.

"You know what kind of strength is needed to support such a statement, Tiger? If it is just the self-awareness of that gentleman, it doesn't mean anything."

Tiger replied: "The power that gentleman represents may be the power that can change the world. The cloaked man of the Revolutionary Army is the only person in the world who has taken the lives of Celestial Dragons."

"Ok?"

Neptune stood up immediately, and the fish tail swung violently behind him.

Ten thousand meters below the sea, the news bird could not deliver newspapers here. But as a king, Neptune was naturally concerned about the information on the sea.

The daily newspapers are specially retrieved in Ryugu Castle.

However, the bounty order for the Revolutionary Army's Cloaked Man only charged him with attempting to destroy the world, but did not charge him with killing the Celestial Dragons.

"The World Government will never make such a thing public. But after Mr. Marijoa saved us this time, I guess he will definitely take action against the Celestial Dragons."

Tiger paused and continued, "After being rescued, after talking and getting to know each other, I realized that the Revolutionary Army is the hope for the future of Fishman Island, the hope for living safely on the ground."

Princess Otohime looked at Tiger and said, "The Revolutionary Army wants Fishman Island to join them? But if that's the case..."

Tiger replied, "Princess, and your Majesty. This experience has made me realize one thing. As long as the Celestial Dragons on Marijoa keep spying on the mermaids, it will never be possible to move Fish-Man Island to the ground."

"You two may not know that the auction price of a female mermaid in the Sabaody Archipelago would start at 7000 million Baileys if there were no Celestial Dragons involved, but if there were Celestial Dragons, then it would be hundreds of millions!"

"With such huge wealth, no human would consider our fellow fish-man islanders as their own kind. You know, even something like a devil fruit, the animal type is only worth 100 million berries in the ocean."

As the words fell, the spacious meeting hall fell silent.

After a long while, Princess Otohime said, "I still believe that as long as we can persevere, we can make the Celestial Dragons agree to let us move to the ground."

Compared to the princess's naivety, Neptune looked at Felsertig and said, "You should know that the World Government governs all the countries on the sea. Although I have some understanding of the future because of Roger, the current revolutionary army does not allow me to see the possibility of risking everything."

Tiger understood: "So after I come back this time, I want to join the Revolutionary Army and see it for real. The future of Fishman Island needs to be carefully considered. I will bring back my understanding of the Revolutionary Army."

Neptune nodded. "That's great. Seeing it with your own eyes will make it easier to understand, and it will also allow Fishman Island to make a more cautious choice."

"The sea area ten thousand meters below provides Fishman Island with a natural barrier. For the future, we can..."

Before he could finish his words, a voice rang out in the hall.

"The stone tablet in the Sea Forest should record the choice of Fishman Island eight hundred years ago, right? When Roger came here eleven years ago, the prophecy made by the girl with the ability of prophecy, Shirley, has been verified, right? King Neptune."

A masked figure appeared behind Tiger and bowed slightly to Princess Otohime and the other two in front of him: "I'm really sorry to show up in this way, because I was delayed by some things in the past few days, and I didn't expect to appear directly in Ryugu Castle."

With the ability to teleport, Neptune immediately thought of the information about this revolutionary soldier on the bounty order.

Then, there was the historical text stele that the other party had mentioned.

This passage not only contains what Roger said in the past on the stone tablet, but also the biggest secret of Fishman Island: Poseidon, the King of the Sea.

"Don't be sorry sir."

Princess Otohime also bowed slightly. "I can sense that you have no intention of offending me. And Fishman Island would like to thank you for saving the people of Fishman Island on Marijoa."

Kevin looked at the naturally perceptive Princess Otohime and said, "No offense, but Princess, you did underestimate the number of 1 billion berries and how much greed it would arouse."

"The Celestial Dragons on Marijoa, although they dare not set foot in the Sabaody Archipelago in person because they killed three people in a row in the past, the human trafficking organizations and those who have lost their humanity for money will not hesitate."

Having said that, without giving Princess Otohime time to continue her so-called persistence, Kevin looked directly at Neptune.

"The position of Fishman Island was determined eight hundred years ago, wasn't it? Located directly below Marijoa, ten thousand meters below the red earth continent, this geographical location speaks for itself."

Neptune was silent.

Although he was not clear about the meaning of Fish-man Island's geographical location, the position of Fish-man Island had indeed been determined eight hundred years ago.

The apology letter that Joy Boy left on Fishman Island failed to fulfill the promise he made to the previous generation of mermaid princess. This in itself illustrates the position of Fishman Island.

But these are not the reasons why Fishman Island should be on the opposite side of the World Government now.

At the same time, all his knowledge of the Revolutionary Army came from newspapers. Under such circumstances, a qualified king would not make any choice. Kevin also knew this.

The reason for this trip to Fishman Island is that the Sea King Poseidon has been born, and he needs to come here to make his position clear and also needs to have a conversation with the Fishman Island.

“Of course, I am not asking Fishman Island to make any promises right now. To a certain extent, the power of Fishman Island can only play a role in the future planned war with one person.”

Kevin was not polite at all, and looked Neptune in the eye: "The purpose of my coming here is more to explain to you two the changes that the Revolutionary Army will bring to the future world."

"There is no distinction between high and low life. This statement not only indicates the relationship between races, but also explains that in the future, there will no longer be hereditary kings in this world."

Neptune's eyes narrowed slightly. "Your Excellency's intention is... that you want me to abdicate?"

Kevin shook his head slightly: "It's not about abdicating now, but when the Revolutionary Army implements changes to the entire world in the future, I hope that His Majesty Neptune will agree and cooperate."

Kevin sighed and glanced at Fershetig who was staring at him in amazement.

"The Revolutionary Army does not need Fishman Island to take a position right now, nor does it need His Majesty the King to agree to anything I say right now. This trip is just for communication, nothing more."

"To some extent, it is easy to change a hereditary regime in a country where the people are oppressed, because all it takes is force."

“But in countries like Fishman Island or the several countries on the sea, the kings have never oppressed the common people. They are even frugal to the point of being ordinary, and are deeply loved by the people.”

"It is very difficult to change a country like this. It takes a long time to change people's minds, and it also requires the support of those in power."

Kevin looked at Princess Otohime: "The innate observation Haki can sense the emotions of others and resonate with them. To a certain extent, it can even make the other party understand one's own emotions and cover up past cognition."

"Then, Princess Otohime, can you sense the falsehood in my words now?"

Princess Otohime shook her head slightly: "Sir, your will is the most resolute I have ever seen."

Kevin nodded, then looked at Neptune again: "One of the purposes of this trip has been accomplished. Fishman Island can think about what I said in the future. There is still plenty of time."

Neptune nodded slightly, and after a moment he asked, "Your Excellency seems to have a firm belief that the Revolutionary Army can change the world. Perhaps this is a little offensive, but the power of the World Government makes it impossible for me to see the possibility of the Revolutionary Army's success."

Kevin replied: "Perhaps there are some records here on Fishman Island about the war that swept the world eight hundred years ago, but that so-called huge kingdom will be a force that I can use, but I will not rely on it."

"I know neither too much nor too little about the secrets of this world. My confidence comes from my unwavering will and my own strength."

At this point, Kevin bowed slightly and said, "I wonder if I would have the honor to meet this generation's mermaid princess, and the Sea King Poseidon?"

After the words fell, Neptune's body stiffened slightly.

The other party really knew it.

Eleven years ago, when Roger came here, he only learned that the king of the sea kings would be born in ten years.

But the other party's words were clearly directed at Bai Xing, who was just one year old.

"call……"

Neptune exhaled, "Okay."

The other party already knew of Shirahoshi's existence. It was obviously impossible for him to lie and conceal the ability to teleport from land to Ryugu Castle.

Tiger... Is this human you brought to Fishman Island a good person or a bad person?

Neptune and Princess Otohime led the way, and the princess bowed and said, "Sir, please follow us."

"Ok."

Kevin under the mask responded, and then hit Tiger who was still kneeling beside him.

"What are you standing there for? Don't you want to see this second mermaid princess that appears in eight hundred years? And she's the most beautiful one in this ocean after more than ten years."

Tiger was stunned for a moment, scratched his head, stood up and replied: "Sir, can you not transform so quickly? Princess Shirahoshi is just a child now."

Following Neptune and the other two, the four of them soon arrived at the top floor of Ryugu Castle.

Above the head, there is a baby room with transparent bubbles.

In the special scallop bed of Fishman Island, the one-year-old White Star has already grown quite large, and is facing the transparent bubbles sideways.

There, you can occasionally see a huge figure passing by.

"Babies' emotions sometimes change a lot. There are too many sea kings gathering around when they are born, so they need to be able to see the white star before they can learn to control their emotions."

Princess Otohime gave an explanation, but Shirahoshi was still sleeping, smacking his lips from time to time.

Even though Kevin had seen mermaids a few years ago, he was still very interested when he saw the young mermaid princess.

He reached out and touched Xiao Shirahoshi's cheek, which seemed to make the mermaid princess uncomfortable, and she frowned.

However, Kevin seemed to enjoy it and pinched it again.

Princess Otohime, who was standing by, smiled and said, "It seems that the master likes children very much."

Kevin did not deny: "In this world, a person's future cognition and kindness are mostly derived from childhood experiences and the education they receive. So in my opinion, naughty children are annoying, but who doesn't like cute children?"

Well... for example, Ace and Luffy are naughty kids.

Nami, Robin, Hiyori, and Yamato are all cute children.

Oh, and there are also Kerla and Hancock.

After all, Nico Robin, who is eight years old, can cook and wash clothes, and can also find time to become a scholar. But Ace, that naughty kid, will carry his one-year-old sister to the forest to show off to Sabo.

Also, I heard recently that Roger was so angry that he couldn’t eat every day, and it seemed like he couldn’t eat either.

Kevin teased the sleeping White Star for a while.

Neptune and Princess Otohime, who were standing by, could see that this gentleman, who had just spoken so rudely, now liked the child Shirahoshi very much.

It seems that he is not such a difficult person to get along with.

After a while Kevin stood up and looked at the figure of the bubbles swimming around.

If Vegapunk can create a defense against that kind of attack, then what is the role of Aquaman?

If the Revolutionary Army continues to develop, the world will be in turmoil at a critical moment, and then it seems that the role of these sea kings is really not that important.

Pluto is under the ground of Wano Country, and it is a huge battleship, so its power must be huge.

At present, only the king himself does not know the information, and it is not clear whether Im is the king.

But now it seems that none of it matters anymore.

With Vegapunk's technology, each island was able to protect itself, instigating the entire navy to rebel, and then allowing the long-dormant revolutionary army to launch a coup d'état around the world.

The main battlefield is limited to Marijoa, with king versus king, general versus general.

Completely change the world's thinking, implement reform systems, and slowly rely on technology to solve the problems of the red soil continent and the doldrums, and connect the ocean into one.

In this case, this trip to Fishman Island is really just a notification.

"Let's go."

After taking a last look at the little white star who was sleeping with a frown and clenched fists, Kevin turned and left.

What needs to be told has been told, and Aquaman's importance becomes less important at this moment.

Originally, he wanted to leave and take a look around this Fishman Island ten thousand meters below the ground, but it was obvious that Princess Otohime had invited him to a banquet and said that she had many things she wanted to ask him.
