Pirates: My Piltover is far ahead in technology
Chapter 77 Listening to the Voice of All Things and Otohime
"Employ? Are you kidding me? If you want to buy a few fishmen or mermaid slaves, it's okay. I've never heard of any fishmen being hired by humans."
After hearing that Orlan wanted to hire fishmen, the captain felt that Orlan was a little naive. After all, this behavior did not conform to the current mainstream concept.
"I'm serious. It seems that you often go back and forth to Fishman Island. If there is a way that can be used, you might as well introduce it to me."
"No, I advise you not to think about this. Hiring those barbaric guys will only bring you trouble."
The mainstream view of the World Government is to treat mermaids and fishmen as humans, and not to discriminate against them as fish. This was written into the regulations when the Kingdom of Dragon Palace joined the World Government as a member country.
But in fact, this regulation is useless. Concepts cannot be changed by a piece of paper.
【Not born yet? How long has it been? 】
【It's almost there. It's not far from the day when the king is born. This is just a fragment of our long life. 】
"What did you say?"
"I said your idea of hiring fishmen is unrealistic. What can those barbaric guys do?
We are about to reach Fishman Island. You should pay more attention."
It seems that because of Oran's idea of hiring fishmen, or because they are about to reach their destination, the captain returned to the captain's room after dealing with a few words.
Soon after, a ray of light appeared in the deep sea ahead.
That was the miracle brought by the Sun Tree Eve. It was because of it that Fishman Island could have its own sun in the deep sea.
"Father, I didn't hear anyone else talking just now."
Frankenstein was sure that Oran did not fail to hear the captain's words. At the same time, there was a sound of water flow above the ship. In the dark sea current, it seemed that two huge monsters had just swam past.
"I know, this is the sea king waiting for their king."
In addition to the sea king, Oran couldn't figure out what other creatures could make such audio in the deep sea that even Frankenstein couldn't hear.
However, this also made Orlan realize one thing. Observation Haki is the power of "hearing". The basic observation Haki can be regarded as an extension of hearing, but in this process, various special powers are also born, such as listening to the voice of all things.
His own powerful mental power has continued to play a role after coming to this world. Being able to hear the voice of the sea king is just one of the manifestations of this power.
"It seems a bit tasteless, but it's not bad."
Orlan is not sure whether this ability is the power of listening to the voice of all things, so he didn't take it to heart for the time being.
He usually has no desire to communicate with these giant creatures, and the existing abilities will not disappear out of thin air. If there is a chance in the future, he can naturally practice it slowly.
At this time, the ship has entered the country smoothly, and Orlan is also facing a problem.
He agreed to meet Shark again on Fishman Island, but there is no contact information. It seems to be a difficult task to find each other on the huge Fishman Island.
But before Orlan made any new decisions, an excited voice sounded on the side.
"Mr. Oran! Long time no see, I've been waiting for you for a long time!"
"Shaq?! How did you know I would come here at this time?"
"It was divination. A famous fortune teller on Fishman Island told me that you would come this month. I thought Mr. Oran would not choose to enter the country illegally, so I have been waiting for you nearby."
Divination culture is very popular on Fishman Island. Famous fortune tellers are also respected here. Even the king will make corresponding countermeasures according to the results of divination.
"Divination. I was thinking about how to contact you before. How have you been during this period?"
"Not bad. I have never felt that freedom is so precious before.
Let's not talk about this. Let me take you to visit Fishman Island. There are many things here that cannot be seen on the ground. By the way, who is this?"
"Frankenstein, my daughter."
"She looks a lot like you. She looks as smart as you."
Shaq did not bother about Frankenstein's appearance and age. She just thought that she was a family member of Oran before, and then took them to visit Fishman Island.
"That's the Marin Shopping Center, which sells specialties from Fishman Island. A little further away is my apartment."
"It seems that you are well off. This area should be very expensive."
"The top floor is like this, but I live at the bottom, and the rent is very cheap."
The most expensive thing in Fishman Island is "sunlight". The better the light, the more expensive the room. In fact, Fishman Street is cheaper, but it's too messy, so Shaq moved to Fishman Island after he was free.
"Shaq, is it okay for you to do this?"
"Mr. Oran, what are you talking about?"
"The environment here is not very welcoming to humans, right? Won't it cause any trouble for you to be our guide like this?"
The population of Fishman Island is not small, but along the way, many mermaids and fishmen chose to bypass Oran and his group, deliberately avoiding some things.
"It's okay. Trade with humans has always existed. There are also many contacts with humans at the entry and exit points. Most of the people are just afraid of humans.
There is nothing we can do about it. There are people on Fishman Island who hope to live in peace with humans, but the reality is too cruel."
The pirates' looting of Fishman Island, the popularity of mermaids in the slave market, and the inaction of the World Government are all deepening the conflict between the races.
Doing hundreds of good things is not as influential as one bad thing. One conspicuous individual behavior will rise to discrimination against this region, not to mention that most people on Fishman Island are pirates.
But with a huge population base, there are still a few exceptions.
Just as Shaq sighed, a mermaid floated to his side with the help of coral bubbles.
"Uncle, are you willing to help everyone understand more about humans?"
"Little girl, who are you? What are you talking about?"
"Ah, sorry for being abrupt, my name is Otohime, my dream is that one day in the future, humans, fishmen, and mermaids can live together equally without discrimination and oppression."
With long light golden hair and a red and gold fishtail, the person named Otohime is a goldfish mermaid and the future princess.
But now, she is just a girl, and her ideas are more idealistic than those of an adult.
"Fishman Island has prevented most people from understanding the land, and the unknown and those human pirates have caused the conflicts to continue to increase. This is not good for the future of Fishman Island, so I want the citizens to have a better understanding of humans.
I think these two humans are good friends, so are you willing to help me?"
Otohime's eyes were full of expectations, as if she wanted to get a kind of recognition from Shaq.
