Chapter 814
With the perfect connection of the front and back halves of the Grand Line, ships do not need to go deep into the seabed below 10,000 meters. As long as they pay tolls to the navy, they can pass through the Red Earth Continent Hole without risk.
The risk has been reduced exponentially, and maritime trade has gradually shown signs of prosperity. The Sabaody Archipelago is expanding madly, but it still cannot meet commercial needs. There are too many people who want to do business in this area.
Both the underworld and the white world want to gain a foothold in the new Sabaody Archipelago. The admiral of the navy has no mistake in his vision. This archipelago has unlimited potential in the future and will become a transit point for the largest Grand Line.
Every day, ships come and go, and the consumption of alcohol alone is an astronomical figure, which brings good tax revenue to the navy and makes the navy pay more and more attention to this area.
It is natural to do things for money, otherwise the tax on the Sabaody Archipelago will not be paid in vain. The navy means to punish those who do not follow the rules, and does not deliberately arrest pirates on the island.
If criminals or pirates don't kill people or cause trouble on the island, they can enjoy the island's services as free men and squeeze out every coin in their pockets as long as they land on the archipelago.
If everyone is happy, it is very likely that some people have paid a price for it, and the increase and decrease conform to the law of facts.
The once bustling Fishman Island suddenly saw a 99% decrease in the number of ships coming here. There has been no life hole here for several days. The sudden change is difficult for most mermaids to accept.
Good news: mermaids and fishmen don't have to worry about being captured by pirates as slaves. From now on, they can live freely in the sea and live the unrestrained life they want.
Bad news: Without the arrival of pirates, the economy of Fishman Island will be in a slump, and the loss of the largest source of income will make the lives of many fish difficult. The previous life of being surrounded by stars will gradually return to peace.
Without the arrival of pirates, the fishmen of Fishman Street were of course very happy, but they soon suffered the consequences. No one had any income. Who should these hooligans ask for money?
The mermaids lived a tight life. Although they didn't have to worry about food and drink every day, they didn't have much extra money to spend on some items, let alone pay protection fees.
Many fish once embraced the idea of expelling foreigners, but now it has been perfectly realized. The drawbacks and economic pains that have emerged make this group of dreamers who can only talk very uncomfortable.
Because they finally understand that the prosperity of Fishman Island is not created by the fishmen themselves, but brought by foreigners with extraordinary adventurous spirit. At this moment, they wake up and many fish are very painful, hoping that the ruling class of Fishman Island can do more.
The navy warship wrapped in the coating sank into the sea. It is the only foreign ship that has appeared in recent days, which attracted the residents of Fishman Island to stop and watch, curious about who the navy will send over and the purpose of these foreigners coming here.
"It's not a pirate ship. Only the navy will dive into the sea when they are on duty. How can we live in Fishman Island?"!
"We won't starve to death even if we eat plants in the sea every day. It's just that life in the sea is a bit boring."
"I really want to swim to the surface of the sea and see what the newspaper said about the hollow red soil continent."
The mermaids who stayed here saw the mermaids who were watching the fun and gathered together to discuss the future. Each mermaid had her own little thoughts.
The navy's warships were approaching Fishman Island. The one who came down from the warships was not a foreigner. The admiral wearing a cloak of justice had the characteristics of the fishmen on his face. The one who came was Kisame Hoshigaki.
The fishmen who followed Admiral Kaito were recognized by the mermaids on the spot. It was the righteous sea hero Jinbei. The former Shichibukai no longer had prison clothes on his body. He was changed into very formal clothes on weekdays, indicating that the navy had given him back his freedom.
After the two strongest fishmen got off the ship, they were followed by a group of fishmen navy. This time, they were honored by the admiral of the navy. On the surface, they returned to Fishman Island to perform official duties. In essence, it was the same as going home. They soon dispersed and went back to their own homes, and they could also get a salary similar to vacation.
Kisame and Jinbei were personally received by Princess Otohime, who introduced the two fishmen to the royal court. They had a good chat along the way. After all, they all came from Fishman Island and could not give up their feelings for their hometown.
Jinbei, who had escaped from prison, knew that freedom was precious. He had already thought about retiring and did not want to participate in the disputes outside Fishman Island. He wanted to follow Princess Otohime's wishes and choose a life on the island to live a secluded life.
When he was free, he could only teach the princes fishmen karate to enable the three princes to protect themselves. Jinbei was not worried about the safety of Princess Shirahoshi now. He was often accompanied by special fishmen, and no one could match him in terms of security capabilities.
Hoshigaki Kisame was the firstI saw SpongeBob, Patrick, and Squidward for the first time. These three fishmen have the power of natural devil fruits. I can even smell a familiar smell on them.
The three of them are almost the fishmen version of the three admirals of the navy. Whether in terms of ability or personality, they make Admiral Black Tiger a little nervous. The monster created by Caesar Kulang is really interesting.
"The Admiral is a kind person. Sending you two here shows her sincerity. Her request needs to be discussed with all the fishmen. I can't give you a reply in the next few days."
The Admiral wants to win over the Fishman Island. The benefit he gives is to mark out a piece of land on the Sabaody Archipelago. At present, this land has not appeared, and it will take subsequent land reclamation to complete it.
The fishmen and mermaids can live in this specific area, do business with foreign tribes on the Sabaody Archipelago, and do whatever entertainment projects they want. The navy will provide personal protection in the periphery and prohibit slave trade from the source.
Altria Pendragon wants to use subtle political means to bring Fishman Island into the scope of rule, so that the foreign residents living here can gradually integrate into the mainstream society with more contact with humans, and change the mainstream society's curiosity.
Princess Otohime has now taken charge of the power of Fishman Island. Her husband has retreated behind the scenes. The mermaid is already the de facto king of Fishman Island, and she has the final say on all matters on the island.
Promoting mutual trust between races and promoting equal contact between the two races is Princess Otohime's lifelong dream. She has died once, but the mermaid has not given up her ideals.
She wants all the people on the island to live a happy life. The world government is already in a semi-paralyzed state. Now the only person who has the final say on the sea is the navy. Fishman Island must prepare for its future.
The end of the great event in the Holy Land of Marijoa means that the direction of the world is more uncontrollable. Princess Otohime feels pressured to save her people in the torrent of history.
The prophecy of doom heard from the mermaid Lady Shirley and the nightmares Princess Shirahoshi has been having recently have made Princess Otohime unable to sleep for some time. She lies beside her husband with her mind full of wild thoughts.
Not only is the World Government looking for Fishman Arlong, but even Fishman Island is also looking for Lady Shirley's brother Fishman Arlong.
