Chapter 87 And you are the real hero
Prime Minister Turtle became more and more excited as he spoke, his face flushed.
"If you hadn't arrived in time, we wouldn't have known what we would have done..."
"Damn Roger Pirates!! Those evildoers, they even threatened us with force!"
He waved his turtle palm angrily.
"But our Fish-Man Island is a member of the World Government! We are loyal to the government and the navy, how can we accept their threats...but we are not strong enough, so in the end we can only accept the consequences."
"So your arrival is a great favor to us!!"
Listening to the words of Prime Minister Turtle that "confused right and wrong," Neptune and other ministers of Dragon Palace City couldn't help but look away, with the corners of their mouths twitching slightly.
"It turns out that the truth of the matter is this... It seems that I have misunderstood you all."
Darren watched Prime Minister Turtle's performance with great interest and blew out a smoke ring with a smile.
I have to say, this guy is quite a talent.
"Then I can't blame you. After all, you are loyal to your duties and serious and responsible... We can all understand. After all, who on this sea doesn't know that you, Lieutenant General Darren, the 'King of the North Sea', are sworn in with evil and are the most righteous Navy!?"
Realizing that Darren's tone had softened a bit, Prime Minister Turtle twirled his mustache, bent down, and smiled.
What he fears most is that the terrifying navy in front of him will seize the matter of "harboring the Roger Pirates"... This kind of thing can be big or small. Once it rises to the political level, the consequences will be uncontrollable.
Humans and the government do not trust the fish-man clan to begin with, and the relationship between the two is like fire and water. If Darren persists in holding on to this "crime", their fish-man island will be in bad luck.
Listening to Prime Minister Turtle's obvious flattery but seriousness as it should be, Darren would have almost believed it if he hadn't known about his urine properties.
"So it seems that you understand me quite well?"
He said with a half-smile.
Prime Minister Turtle said excitedly:
"Of course! People in this sea say that His Majesty the King of Dragon Palace City is the "knight" who protects Fish-Man Island, but among the five million people on Fish-Man Island, who doesn't know that the navy is the biggest backing to protect our Fish-Man Island? ?”
Neptune:…
Prime Minister Turtle pretended not to notice Neptune's increasingly dark complexion, and said with a smile:
"Lieutenant General Darren, you, the greatest friend of the fish-men clan, are the real hero!"
"This time you saved Fish-Man Island from the evil and cruel Roger Pirates. We really don't know how to thank you... Ryugu City here has simply prepared a meager gift for you. Please don't dislike."
He clapped his hands as he spoke.
Soon a group of Dragon Palace City soldiers panted and walked in carrying huge boxes one after another, and placed them on the ground with a thud. Gold and silver treasures that could barely cover them spilled out of the wooden boxes and scattered all over the place.
The dazzling light of gold and silver treasures suddenly overshadowed the night pearl lights in the banquet hall, making it look magnificent.
Seeing this mountain of treasures, many ministers and guards were stunned with their eyes wide open.
This turtle is pretty good...
Darren smiled with satisfaction.
With his current status and power, he doesn't even pay attention to the gold and silver treasures here, which are valued at more than a billion beli.
But money isn't the key.
The key lies in the attitude of Dragon Palace City.
And he liked that attitude.
Very sensible and energetic.
"Lieutenant General Darren, if you need anything else, you can always tell us."
Prime Minister Turtle said with a smile, and immediately winked at Neptune crazily.
Neptune immediately reacted and smiled dryly:
"That's right, Lieutenant General Darren."
"Although Fish-Man Island is not as wealthy as many countries, it still has some interesting gadgets. The treasure house door of Dragon Palace City is always open for you."
Darren smiled, waved his hand and said:
"I understand your thoughts... Since we here on Fish-Man Island abide by the law and are sworn in with the evil pirates, I will naturally not embarrass you."
"The peace between the fish-men clan and humans is hard-won. As a member of the navy, I should contribute my meager strength to the peaceful coexistence between the two clans."
"As long as the Fish-Man Island side doesn't collude with the pirates, it will be easy for me to explain to my superiors, otherwise things will be difficult... After all, I am not a violent person, do you understand?"
When he said the last sentence, the Vice Admiral sighed helplessly, as if he was responsible for his duties and couldn't help himself.
Neptune:…
A group of ministers:...
Prime Minister Turtle's mouth twitched crazily.
He thought he was shameless enough, but he didn't expect that there was someone stronger than him in the navy. He was really impressed.
"I understand, it's not easy for everyone, we all understand."
Prime Minister Turtle smiled and nodded, then turned to the soldiers and issued an order haughtily:
"What are you still doing?"
"Hurry up and pack these gifts, and then contact the caravan... Well, Lieutenant General Darren did not bring a warship this time, so I sent it directly to Marinevando for him, no, to the North Sea!"
After giving the order sternly, Prime Minister Turtle looked at Darren again, humbly smiled and said:
"This is what we have arranged here. Lieutenant General Darren, please don't refuse. This is the little thought of us people on Fish-Man Island."
As he spoke, he waved his hand again, urging the soldiers to carry the treasure.
...This guy is very good at getting things done...
Darren murmured in his heart, but he didn't refuse.
He was already familiar with this kind of thing when he was in Beihai... If he didn't accept the money, I'm afraid Neptune wouldn't be able to sleep from now on.
Seeing that Darren did not refuse, all the ministers in Dragon Palace City breathed a sigh of relief.
What they were afraid of was not that they would give money, but that Darren would not accept it.
Even if he holds back a little symbolically, it means that the matter has passed lightly.
This is power.
"Ahem... That Lieutenant General Darren, since this is all a misunderstanding, why don't you put that knife away first?"
Neptune swung his huge tail at this time, swam over, and asked carefully and tentatively.
As he spoke, he glanced vaguely at the entrance to Fish-Man Island in the distance.
In front of the broken gate, on the ruin-like land... the black demonic sword holding up the sky was still deeply engraved into the earth, reaching into the clouds with no end in sight.
From a distance, it exudes boundless gloomy murderous aura, like a huge iron wall formed by dried blood, which makes people shudder.
"Ah, yes, look, I forgot about it, I'm so sorry."
Darren pretended to be surprised and patted his head.
Everyone:...

Ask for everything, thank you very much.
