Chapter 156 They need my rescue
Darren...sir?
Fisher Tiger looked at the human statue in the center of Gironcoder Square in astonishment, unable to react for a moment.
Gironcourt Square is a place used to hold large gatherings and solemn activities on Fishman Island. It has a very high standard. Even King Neptune of Dragon Palace City is not qualified to erect his own statue here.
But now there is a statue of a human standing! ?
If he hadn't seen it with his own eyes, Fisher Tiger wouldn't have believed this ridiculous scene.
This is Fishman Island!
Could it be that... what Mr. Darren said before is true?
His trip to Fish-Man Island... really established such a deep friendship with Dragon Palace City and the Fish-Man clan that even the people on the island were willing to put aside their hatred of humans and put Mr. Darren's statue in Geelong Coud Square?
"It's really amazing... It seems that the relationship between Mr. Darren and Dragon Palace City is indeed very good."
Fisher Tiger murmured in his heart, and then continued to walk towards the direction of Dragon Palace City.
In less than half an hour, he passed through the communication corridor and arrived at the gate of Dragon Palace City.
The guards in Dragon Palace City who were on duty all recognized him and said in surprise:
"Mr. Tiger, you are back!"
"This is great!"
"..."
"Yes, please pass the message to me. I want to meet His Majesty Neptune."
The guards immediately went to do it, and someone smiled and said:
"Mr. Tiger, please wait a moment. Something big has happened in Dragon Palace City recently, and everyone above and below is extremely busy."
Big happy event?
Fisher Tiger was stunned and asked curiously:
"What's the big happy event?"
The guards holding the harpoon tips smiled and said:
"It's Your Majesty."
"Your Majesty will hold a wedding soon, and our Dragon Palace City will finally have a princess!"
"Princess Otohime is so beautiful, she is just like the daughter of Poseidon, so splendid and beautiful!"
"Yes, she also has a very gentle personality, and she often cares about the lives of the people at the bottom of Fish-Man Island;"
"It is said that Princess Otohime has proposed to His Majesty Neptune to strengthen support and rescue for Fishman Street after the wedding..."
"..."
Princess Otohime...
Fisher Tiger listened quietly to the guards' unstinting praise, and relying on the information they gave him, he filled in his mind bit by bit a gentle and elegant female mermaid figure.
If the future princess of Fishman Island is really as gentle, strong and wise as they described, she may really be able to help the fishman clan get out of their current predicament.
"Mr. Tiger, His Majesty Neptune invites you!"
At this time, a serious voice came from the gate of Dragon Palace City.
Fisher Tiger looked up and saw a figure with a turtle shell on his back and a mustache standing there. Although his stature was slightly short and insignificant, his face had a calm dignity.
"Prime Minister, long time no see."
A smile appeared on Fisher Tiger's face and he bowed politely.
Prime Minister Turtle is the pillar of Dragon Palace City. He is King Neptune's loyal minister and is highly valued.
He has been in power for many years and is very experienced in handling government affairs and diplomacy.
"No need to be polite, Mr. Tiger, please come this way."
Prime Minister Turtle raised his hand with a smile.
Soon, Fisher Tiger met "Great Knight" Neptune in the banquet hall of Dragon Palace City.
"Hahahaha, Mr. Tiger, long time no see!"
Neptune gave Fisher Tiger a big hug when they met, with a warm smile on his face.
"You've come back just in time. Let me introduce you to someone."
As he said that, Fisher Tiger saw a gentle figure walking in slowly.
Her wavy golden hair shines under the luminous pearls, a pair of sapphire-blue eyes like the sea with a smile, and an orange crown-shaped hairpin on her head.
She wears a long orange robe with fish scale patterns, surrounded by a long white belt.
"This is my lover Otohime. We will hold a wedding on Fishman Island in three days!"
Neptune smiled cheerfully and held Otohime's hand.
"I have met Mr. Tiger."
Otohime's face was slightly red, and she bowed to Fisher Tiger gracefully.
Fisher Tiger bent down awkwardly and said, "I have met Princess Otohime."
"Hahahaha, you are too polite."
Neptune smiled and said:
"Come on, the food is ready. Mr. Tiger hasn't been back to Fish-Man Island for so long. Let us pick him up today!"
While he was talking, a young mermaid maid was already bringing all kinds of delicacies and fine wines.
It was hard to refuse the warm hospitality, so Fisher Tiger took the seat and soon started changing glasses.
"...So Your Majesty Neptune, on my way to Dragon Palace City, I saw the statue in Girlon Corder Square."
After three rounds of drinking, Fisher Tiger finally couldn't help his curiosity and asked tentatively.
The corner of Neptune's mouth twitched, and he forced out a smile with a stiff expression and said:
"That... that's the statue of Vice Admiral Rogers Darren at the Navy Headquarters."
"Well, when Lieutenant General Darren came to Fish-Man Island last time, he helped us drive away the evil-doing pirates and save Fish-Man Island."
"Out of gratitude to him, the Prime Minister proposed to build a statue of Lieutenant General Darren in Geelong Court Square to prove his everlasting friendship with the fish-men clan."
"So that's it..." Fisher Tiger suddenly realized,
"No wonder Mr. Darren told me that he has a good relationship with Fish-Man Island. The truth of the matter is this."
Neptune:…
Prime Minister Turtle:...
"Wait, Mr. Tiger, have you met Lieutenant General Darren?"
Neptune suddenly realized something at this time and couldn't help but ask.
Fisher Tiger nodded.
A look of pain gradually appeared in his eyes, and he sighed:
"The fact that I was able to return to Fish-Man Island alive was actually thanks to Mr. Darren's rescue."
He gritted his teeth, raised his hand and grabbed the hooded coat on his body, a flash of determination flashed in his eyes, and pulled hard!
Tear it apart! !
The sound of tearing cloth was heard, but the scene that greeted their eyes caused Neptune and others' expressions to change drastically, and their pupils to shrink.
"This is……"
"Fei Long Xiang's hoof!!"
They stared at the ferocious and tragic bloody tattoo on Fisher Tiger's chest with horrified expressions, and their hearts were shaken.
In their shocked eyes, Fisher Tiger slowly told what he had experienced with a sad expression...
…
A full half hour later.
There was dead silence in the banquet hall.
Neptune and the others sat there with sad expressions, as if they had not yet recovered from the huge impact.
"...That's just the way it is."
Fisher Tiger gritted his teeth and clenched his fists.
"Your Majesty Neptune, Princess Otohime..."
An indescribable firm obsession surged in his eyes, making the skin on his body redder and redder.
"I will do my best, even if it costs my life, to save those poor people who have the same fate as me!"
"Those slaves living in hell on earth... they need my rescue!"
Neptune was struck by lightning.
Otohime couldn't help but let out a long breath.
From Fisher Tiger's heart, she heard a huge, heart-rending cry.
"But I won't take action so soon. This is definitely not now..."
It seemed that after talking for a while, Fisher Tiger's inner pressure was poured out, and he gradually calmed down and said in a deep voice:
"Right now, Fish-Man Island still needs my so-called title of "King Shichibukai" to protect me. I will wait patiently for the opportunity."
"In less than ten days, it will be the investiture ceremony of His Majesty the Seven Martial Arts. At that time, I will do my best to fight for the greatest rights for Fish-Man Island!"

I would like to add that I asked for leave yesterday, as the author mentioned in the previous chapter.
Take one day off a month to clear your mind and organize your thoughts.
