Chapter 553 Conversation on Fishman Island

"It has been almost half a year. Except for the original announcement, the World Government has not taken any further actions. Judging from the current situation, everything should be safe for the time being."

King Neptune looked at the calendar in his hand, put a checkmark on it and said.

"We can't let down our guard yet. From the time of the announcement to now, the number of slave traders on Fishman Island has more than tripled. It's just that our vigilance has increased so that they don't have the opportunity to take advantage of the loopholes. So we must not be careless. , we must be cautious, no one knows whether the current situation is the calm before the storm.”

After Jhin raised the tea cup and took a sip, he folded his arms and said. He did not take off his mask, but over the years, he has changed his mask to a state where his mouth can be opened and closed, so that he can at least eat without delaying his meal.

"That's true. Now is really not the time to let down our guard. Thanks to Mr. Jhin for your reminder."

Neptune was stunned for a moment, but then thought about it and realized that Jhin was right. Indeed, this was not the time to open the champagne. The geographical location of Fishman Island was too special, which led to the World Government clearly looking down on fish from the bottom of their hearts. It is a human island, but it is still the reason why it became a member of the World Government.

Among the known countries or forces that have disappeared for a hundred years, the only country or force that has become a member of the World Government is Fishman Island (the special situation of Alabasta is not included). This is because Fish-Man Island occupies a very important waterway, and now, this waterway has voluntarily withdrawn from the World Government. It can be said that it is a public statement that this waterway is no longer under the jurisdiction of the World Government. Although this matter in the past, anyone with a discerning eye can see it. It turns out that the World Government does not have jurisdiction over Fish-Man Island, but the actual situation is like this, which does not mean that it can be said!

Just like the aerospace industry of some countries, it is said that they have landed on the moon. However, many people may know the actual situation, but everyone knows that you cannot say it out. If you say it out, where will you save your face?

"Actually, I shouldn't say this, but there are no outsiders here now. I still want to say something. King Neptune, you were indeed a little impulsive at that time. You should at least say hello to us first instead of shouting at us. After that, we rushed over in a hurry. As far as I know, there are still many compatriots on your Fish-Man Island offshore. Their situation may have many problems because of this incident, such as the one we brought back a while ago. Mr. Dan’s brother, Mr. Tom, if our people had gone a step later, he would have probably been taken away by the people of the World Government.”

Tom, the most famous shipbuilder in the Capital of Seven Waters, once built the Euro Jackson for Pirate King Roger, but he was also tried by the World Government for this. However, he made a so-called ten-year agreement with the judge to build a sea train. Come to atone for your sins, everything was fine originally, but because of the statement from Fish-Man Island, people from the World Government came to arrest people. If the Beast Pirates hadn't learned of the situation and hurriedly rushed over, Tom would have been taken to prison. If he had rushed to rescue people when they were on the boat, he would have disappeared by now.

Of course, although Tom was rescued, his two students did not leave. They still stayed in the Capital of Seven Waters, preparing to complete the work that their teacher failed to complete. Tom can only use the phone bug to help with remote guidance. , after all, the sea train can be said to be Tom's lifelong pursuit. As a well-known man, he will not give up his ideals. What's more, he has stayed in the Capital of Seven Waters for so many years, and he really doesn't want to see the Capital of Seven Waters. Just decline.

However, Tom did not have any resentment about returning to Fish-Man Island. He was not even on Fish-Man Island now, but went directly to Ghost Island because when he just came back, Jhin showed him the Beast King-class battleship, Azure Dragon. The photo of the battleship, that warship made of pure steel, directly made Tom's eyes shine, and he rushed towards the ghost island with a roar. At this moment, he felt that his future was promising, not to mention that Jhin also told him that although the other ship was also The Suzaku, which is the King of Beasts but has a completely different form, is being built, which makes Tom even more intolerable.

Speaking of the Suzaku, the ship was originally built, but because of the new experiments of Quinn and the Intelligent Control Core 10001, the already-launched mothership was successfully revived. Various new experimental products began to be crazily sent to the Suzaku. As the ship piled up, Lily began to feel helpless. This was also the first time she had heard that a ship that had been launched could be pulled back to the dock. She could only say that with the imagination of these scientific researchers, there was nothing they could not do. After coming out, Lily felt that even in 1507, the Suzaku might not be able to launch, because they had already begun to dismantle the deck and reassemble it, and even the Qinglong was pulled back to prepare for some refitting.

"Indeed, I didn't expect things like Tom and Cocoro. Alas, after being oppressed for so many years and seeing the hope of breaking away, I was so excited, or we were all too excited. Normally, if I say this If I do, both the ministers and my wife will stand up to stop me, but this time they are even more excited than me. Alas - we are also dizzy. "

King Neptune sighed helplessly. Not to mention him, even Princess Otohime was very excited at that time. You know, Princess Otohime has always advocated peaceful coexistence for everyone. Over the years, she has gradually realized that if she wants peace and coexistence, it is not just a matter of giving in, but requires her own strength. At the same time, she also understands that the World Government will not truly recognize Fishman Island. Instead of following the World Government every day, it is better to start a new business and stand directly with the people of the New World. After all, the Four Emperors of the New World now seem to be more reliable than the World Government. Since the cooperation with the New World began, the overall situation of Fishman Island has improved greatly. Those human traffickers with certificates given by the Celestial Dragons no longer have the qualifications to show off their power. There is only one way to go.

Not to mention the left and right ministers. They were all supporters of King Neptune's isolation policy when he was still a prince. They have long disliked the World Government. At this time, they can slap the World Government that has always looked down on them. That is simply a three-handed approval (fish tails don't have legs).

"We know your situation. To be honest, it's normal for you to have this choice. Speaking of which, I received news before that we found a suitable island. Are you willing to move Fishman Island to that place? Or move the civilians there. It's not a small island, but it has dense water networks and many inner lakes formed by seawater. It feels like a good new Fishman Island."

Jin reached out from behind and took out some photos and handed them to King Neptune. This was the main purpose of his visit this time. Usually he stayed on the main island of Fishman Island instead of coming to the Dragon King's Palace.

"Oh? Let me see, let me see."

Neptune was immediately interested when he heard what Jhin said. In fact, he had considered moving, but as an aquatic race, their life requirements for water sources were too high, and most places were not suitable for them to live in, especially mermaids. They can only have legs after the age of 30, which makes them move only with the help of water currents and bubbles.

Taking the photo from Jin's hand, Neptune began to read it carefully. Jin didn't lie. This is indeed a place suitable for fishmen and mermen to live. The water network is so rich that even the Iron Islands can't catch up. From the bird's-eye view above the island, the whole island can almost be said to be covered by the water network, and the three huge circular lakes in the center of the island provide the main residence for mermen. The most important thing is that this is on the sea, which is the living environment that all mermen and fishmen dream of, and can live under the real sun.

"Don't worry about the problem of bubbles. We are already experimenting with the cultivation method of giant mangroves. As long as the experiment is successful, with the help of Brother Kaido's ability, we can quickly complete the planting and growth around it. Of course, we are not going to move there now. The existence of Fishman Island is still necessary. After all, this is a very important strategic location. It will still be preserved, but the nature may change from being mainly used for living in the past to being mainly used for garrisoning troops."

Jin continued.

"In other words, turn the current Fishman Island into something like a naval base, right?"

Neptune said, holding his chin.

"Yes, that's about the same. Of course, all this has to wait until the research on the giant mangrove is completed. Otherwise, the transportation of the bubble liquid is too difficult, and it is not within the range of the giant mangrove. The storage time of the bubble liquid itself is also a big problem. This is just an advance plan."

Jin began to give Neptune a shot of prevention, fearing that Neptune would slap his forehead and make a statement directly, which would be uncomfortable.

"Don't worry, we are not in a hurry. In fact, there is nothing wrong with Fishman Island. It can save a lot of trouble underwater, right? Hahahaha!" Neptune laughed. He was really not in a hurry, but it was really good to have something to look forward to, wasn't it?
