One Piece: My Five Elder Stars Father

Dragon Palace City, Banquet Hall.

As soon as you enter the banquet, of course it should be a routine conversation.

But Nepton looked a little distracted and did not stand up to speak.

Minister Left was anxious and signaled that he had no response after several times. He had no choice but to stand up and speak on behalf of King Nipton:

"We represent all the people, the fishermen and the mermaids."

"I sincerely welcome the Saint Seleucid, and welcome the government's envoy to the Dragon Palace Kingdom, hoping that the friendship between humans and the mermaids and the fishmans will last forever."

After saying that, the left minister drank the wine in the glass in one go.

Seleugu ignored him at all.

What is the left minister of the Dragon Palace Kingdom? The ministers of the franchise of the district government are worthy of toasting themselves?

final,

Minister Zuo could only sit down with an awkward look on his face.

The banquet began in such a weird atmosphere.

King Nepton was in a daze, Seleucus was enjoying the food on the table, while the ministers of the Dragon Palace Kingdom sat aside and watched.

They are not moving, nor are they not moving.

...

Not long after,

After sweeping the food on the table, Seleucus turned his head and said to King Nepton with a playful smile:

"Nepton, along the way, the situation on your Fishman Island doesn't seem to be ideal."

"Don't mention the outlaws who can be seen everywhere, there were four or five explosions alone. Could it be that the fireworks specially prepared to welcome me?"

King Nepton then reacted and quickly raised his glass to apologize to Seleucus. After drinking it all, he said with a wry smile:

"You are joking, Saint Seleucid."

"To be honest, since the outbreak of the era of the Great Pirates, dozens of times more pirates have poured into the Fishman Island, and the despised country is really unable to deal with it."

Nepton deliberately did not mention the slave group, but only mentioned the harm of the pirates.

This is mostly because most of the slave hunting groups have shadows of various dragons.

"oh?"

Seleugu did not expose it, but finally raised his glass and drank it and said with the flow:

"It seems that your country has also been deeply poisoned by Roger's pirate, but fortunately, the government has always adhered to the firm attitude of never tolerating all crimes."

"Roger, the culprit, has also been executed by the government, which is probably enough to comfort your country's losses."

As soon as these words were spoken, King Nepton was speechless. He didn't know that Seleugu really didn't understand, and he pretended to be confused with his understanding.

But after a moment of silence, he still said with a stingy forehead:

"Although Roger has been executed, a large number of pirates still pour into Fishman Island every year."

"As a member of the government's franchise, if the government can come forward to help solve this matter, we all over the country will be grateful."

After hearing this, Seleugu just tilted his head and smiled:

"So you want the government to come forward. Wouldn't you just say it?"

"It has to be so roundabout."

"But since I've said this, I'll just say it. First of all, if you've seen the security law of the franchise country."

"We should know that helping franchisees maintain public order is not one of the obligations of the world government, nor is it a condition for any franchisee to join the government."

King Nepton could only smile bitterly, and after a moment, he said with some difficulty:

"but……"

Before King Nepton finished speaking, Seleucus interrupted:

"Also, don't talk about the discrimination of humans against fishmen and mermaids."

"Although the Dragon Palace Kingdom successfully joined the world government two hundred years ago, the six hundred years before that were not the result of the government's intention to make things difficult for it."

"That's because you stood in the wrong team eight hundred years ago. Didn't you dig this smuggling hole by yourself? Otherwise, where did so many pirates and slave capturing teams come from?"

Seleugu sneered sarcastically:

"As for discrimination, it is just a historical legacy in the past six hundred years, and it is also your own fault."

"In short, the government has no owe to the Dragon Palace Kingdom, and the government even magnanimously understands the crimes of the mermaids eight hundred years ago."

"If you want to ask for help from the government, show sincerity and don't use it to me to talk about meaningless things."

"The government is not a charity and will not help you deal with the mess for nothing."

King Nepton was speechless and finally could only say awkwardly:

"The Dragon Palace Kingdom is naturally full of sincerity, but I don't know what price we will pay if we ask the government to come forward?"

Seleucca did not answer.

Instead, he directly turned his attention to Oki, then ignored King Nipton and looked directly at the ministers present and said:

“On behalf of the government, I would like to thank you for your warm welcome and hospitality, May the friendship between the government and the Dragon Palace Kingdom, humans and mermaids and fishmen last forever. ”

After saying that, he raised his glass and drank another glass on his own.

The Tianlong people personally raised their glasses, and the ministers naturally did not dare not to drink them. They stood up to thank them and drank them all in one go.

The awkward banquet fell into false enthusiasm again, leaving only King Nepton sitting in his seat alone, wanting to speak but stopping.

...

...

The warm banquet ended soon, and King Nepton invited Seleucus to the main hall of Dragon Palace City.

Then,

King Nepton immediately shut down a group of ministers and guards, and only he, Princess Oki, and the three men of Seleucid were left in the huge palace.

At this time, King Nepton finally couldn't hold back any longer and asked impatiently:

"Seruke Seleuc, what does the sentence you asked Oki to convey to me before mean?"

"Oh? What did I say?"

Seleugu deliberately pretended not to know and asked with interest.

King Nepton could only repeat it himself:

"You said the government can give three things to solve the current dilemma of the Dragon Palace Kingdom, namely land, dignity, and status."

"But the Dragon Palace Kingdom also needs to pay three things as a price, namely benevolence, righteousness, integrity, and mission."

"That's right."

Seeing that King Nepton said it himself, Seleucau finally nodded in recognition with a smile.

"I thought about it for a long time, but I still couldn't understand the meaning of this sentence. I hope you can explain it."

King Nepton asked in a difficult manner.

"It's easy to say."

The beating of Nepton was enough, so Seleucus did not keep it in silence and said with a smile:

"Didn't your princess Oki always want to move the Dragon Palace Kingdom to land? The government can fully meet this requirement."

"The so-called land means that the government can choose two islands in the New World that are rich in resources and close to a certain naval branch, and are classified as territory of the Dragon Palace Kingdom."

While speaking, Seleugu also raised a finger on his right hand.

Hearing the words,

Before King Nepton could speak, Princess Oki, who was beside him, suddenly showed excitement.

This is exactly what she has always dreamed of.

However, Seleucca has not finished speaking.

He raised his second finger and continued:

"The so-called dignity is that the government can write the prohibition on buying, selling and possessing mermaid slaves into the law and implement it effectively."

"At present, all mermaid slaves, even those raised by the celestial dragons, can be released as long as they are willing."

Seeing that King Nepton wanted to say something, Seleucus waved his hand and signaled him to shut up, and continued to raise his third finger and said:

"The so-called status means that I am willing to marry the mermaid clan as a celestial dragon. Since the leader of the mermaid clan 800 years ago, the mermaid princess was an enemy of the government."

"Then eight hundred years later, if the new mermaid princess can become the wife of the dragon, it will undoubtedly be a wonderful thing to turn swords into jade."

When he said this, Seleucus's smile became brighter and his body leaned on the sofa casually, and said with a playful look on his face:

"Don't blame me for being rude. After all, the treatment of mermaids on land is obvious to all. To be honest, they are completely discriminated against by the inferior race."

“…”

Nepton lowered his head and gritted his teeth, but he couldn't say a word of refutation.

Seleucus continued:

"But if the lower mermaids and the supreme celestial dragons are put together, their status will be much higher than that of other ordinary nobles."

"Right? Nepton."

As soon as Seleucus finished speaking these three sentences, King Nepton keenly realized something inappropriate and couldn't help but ask:

"Salleau Seleuc, you said to release all the mermaids, that fish-human race..."

Seleucue shook his head and said:

"The fishman is not in the range of release, but you don't have to worry, because it's related to the three costs I'm going to talk about next."
