Chapter 316 Princess Otohime

...

"Hahaha, I didn't expect the King of the Mermaid Tribe to be so hospitable. It looks like this negotiation and cooperation will go smoothly."

Seeing the giant mermaid wearing a crown and a group of people coming out to greet him, Mosan said to the three people around him with some surprise, he had no idea that it was actually the notoriety of the Bra Chamber of Commerce among pirates that played a role.

"Welcome, human friends. Sorry for the long wait. Come on, please get in the car. We can discuss anything in detail when we get to the palace."

Neptune invited enthusiastically.

"Haha, you are so polite. It is such an honor to have His Majesty the King come to greet you personally. Please!"

Mosan responded politely.

The group boarded a colorful oarfish and headed towards Ryugu Castle, chatting and laughing.

Along the way, Funi couldn't help but take out her camera to record these spectacular buildings with unique deep-sea characteristics.

Arriving at the magnificent palace with carved dragons and painted buildings, a beautiful goldfish mermaid was already standing in the hall waiting. When she saw everyone coming in, she stepped forward to greet them warmly:

"Hello! Fishman Island welcomes you all! I am Otohime, the princess of the Ryugu Kingdom."

Princess Otohime had long wavy golden hair tied on top of her head, a round face, big eyes, sapphire pupils, an orange crown-shaped hairpin on her head, an orange dress with a fish scale pattern, and a red corset with white edges around her waist.

"Hello, Princess Otohime, I am Mosan, the president of the Bra Chamber of Commerce, and I am a human merchant."

After a brief introduction between the two sides, the host and the guests took their seats. A group of beautiful mermaid maids brought the specialties of Fishman Island. The mermaids were all dressed rather lightly. Mo Sang squinted his eyes as his wife sat next to him, not daring to look at her any more.

Three wine tours

Neptune first looked at Otohime, and when she nodded to show that she did not sense any ill will from her, Neptune then asked about her purpose:

"Sir Mosan, I wonder if you are visiting here this time because you need help from our Dragon Palace Kingdom?"

Mosan put down his glass and said with a smile.

"King Neptune, you don't have to be so polite. We are here this time because we do have two things to discuss with His Majesty the King."

"please say."

"Our Bra Chamber of Commerce now has cooperation with many countries, and our business covers the first half of the Grand Route. We have thousands of merchant ships alone, and we are a little short of manpower, so the first thing we want to do is to recruit some people to join the Chamber of Commerce.

Both mermen and fishmen are born good sailors, so we want to try to recruit a group of mermen or fishmen on Fishman Island. Of course, we will not force anyone on a voluntary basis. For those who are willing to follow us and truly work for the Bra Chamber of Commerce, we will not only protect their lives and provide them with the opportunity to live on land, but also let them enjoy the same treatment as members of our Chamber of Commerce. We will never treat them differently just because they are mermen or fishmen. "

"Is this true, Mr. Mosan?"

As soon as she finished speaking, Princess Otohime stood up excitedly.

Princess Otohime has been looking for ways to change the current situation of mermen and mermaids, and she advocates that mermen and mermaids should coexist with humans to have a future. However, how to coexist is a problem that she has not been able to solve.

Now that the Bra Chamber of Commerce is willing to accept their compatriots and allow some mermaids and mermen to try to get along with humans and live on the sea, isn't this a precious opportunity for her to take the first step in realizing her ideals?

"Mr. Mosan, are you really recruiting mermen and mermaids as sailors?"

Otohime was a little too happy and asked a nonsense question subconsciously. She was born with a special observation Haki that could hear other people's thoughts. She had already sensed that the fat businessman in front of her was not lying.

Mo Sang smiled slightly and looked at the guards and maids around him.

Otohime immediately understood and began to dismiss the people around her.

"You all stand down first."

If Neptune had done this, he would have been reprimanded by the ministers for not being on guard, but since it was Princess Otohime who spoke, the two ministers had no objections.

Soon, only Otohime, Neptune and the left and right ministers were left at the scene.

"Hehe, Princess, King Neptune, you should be able to see that we are not like other humans who have a grudge against you mermaids and mermen. You should know Tom, the world's number one shipbuilder, merman, right?"

"Of course, Mr. Tom has always been the pride of our Fishman Island."

Tom, as the man with the title of "The World's No. 1 Fork", is the only fishman with a certain reputation in the sea today. Otohime and others certainly know him.

However, since the World Government did not publicize the hijacking of the Judicial Ship, there was not even a follow-up report on the news related to Tom. Only some people in Water Seven thought that Tom had been secretly executed by the World Government, and other people on the sea did not know about this at all.

"To be honest, Mr. Tom was sentenced to death by the World Government last year! The crime was that he built the pirate ship Oro Jackson for Pirate King Roger!"

"what?!"

Seeing that Neptune, Otohime and the others were all shocked, Mosan continued with satisfaction.

"Don't worry, Mr. Tom is fine. We rescued him from the World Government. Mr. Tom has joined us and is now a member of the Chamber of Commerce. Many of our merchant ships were built by him."

Neptune opened his mouth wide, unable to speak for a long time. Rescue Tom, the fishman sentenced to death, from the hands of the World Government? This is easy to say, but the meaning behind it is enough to scare people to death.

The ministers on both sides could not help but ask:

"This! Saving people from the World Government? Mr. Mosan, is this true?"

"Haha, of course it's true. We came back with Mr. Tom this time. He is also on Fishman Island right now. However, his current identity is quite sensitive. Mr. Tom doesn't want to bring unnecessary trouble to your Dragon Palace City, so he didn't come to see you in person."

Mosan said with a smile.

Neptune was also very shocked. After seeing Otohime nod, he quickly spoke up:

"Thank you for everything you have done. The Bra Chamber of Commerce will always be the friend of us mermaids and fishmen!"

Otohime asked a lot of questions about life on land and some information about the Bra Chamber of Commerce.

Finally, Neptune, the king, nodded and agreed:

"Mr. Mosan, we can use the reputation of Ryugu City as a credibility guarantee for your Bra Chamber of Commerce's recruitment in Fishman Island. As long as the citizens sign up voluntarily, they can join the Bra Chamber of Commerce."

“That’s great, thank you so much for your support.”

Mosan said with a smile.

"Mr. Mosan, I also want to go to the sea with you guys, is that okay?"

Otohime suddenly stood up and said.

Before Mosan even opened his mouth to agree, Neptune and the ministers on his left and right could no longer sit still.

"Otohime!"

"You absolutely cannot do that! Princess Otohime! There are many dangers on land. Humans are very unfriendly to female mermaids. You are weak... and the prince is young..."

"Okay, I've made up my mind. You don't need to persuade me anymore. This is my mission and something I must do!"

Otohime said firmly.
