Chapter 38 Dinner at the Dragon Palace

The things that happened to Aaron before were all trivial matters. Noah also stopped Jinbei from hitting him too hard. If he hits him too hard, everyone will forgive him once they see how pitiful he is.

With such a little bastard's temper, the more he loses face, the more he has to find it in the weak, and he will end up in Fishman Street in the future. It's really not worth the trouble.

In the evening, Noah took Robin and Tiger to Ryugu Castle for a banquet. Leading the way was Jinbe, the future sea hero.

It's not easy for this guy to finally do his job again.

During this period, we passed Geelong Coder Square, Mermaid Bay, and Fishfordly Villa. It can be seen that the living environment of the mermaid tribe is indeed much better than that of the mermaid tribe, cleaner and neater.

Then the conflict between the two races is also a problem, Noah thought as he walked.

After entering Dragon Palace City and walking all the way to the banquet hall, King Neptune had already led his ministers and three princes to wait at the door to greet tonight's most distinguished guest.

There was a burst of magical laughter from the world of One Piece, and King Neptune welcomed everyone into the banquet hall with a generous smile and served them rich food.

For King Neptune, Noah felt that he was an elder with a generous and kind personality.

The performance in the original work also does not reflect the king's posture. He looks very vicious on the outside, but there is a huge gap between him and his actual personality.

When Shirahoshi disappeared, he cried and begged the Straw Hats to return his beloved daughter to him.

As a king, he has shortcomings in his behavior, but as a husband and a father, he is definitely qualified.

After his lover passed away, he resolutely took over his wife's legacy and continued to advocate that "fish people and mermaids should coexist peacefully with humans." Bai Xing is also a good man who dares to risk his life when he encounters danger.

"I'm sorry, Princess Otohime is putting my little princess to bed right now. She will be here in a minute."

Neptune first expressed his apology and then got to know Noah and Robin. As for Tiger, he simply said hello. After all, they were familiar with each other.

There had been no news from Tiger before, and King Neptune also used his own channels to help inquire.

"Mr. Noah, thank you very much for saving Tiger. This guy is very important to our Fish-Man Island.

And he's also a good friend of mine. I hereby declare that Mr. Noah and Miss Robin will be our friends on Fish-Man Island forever. "

The two ministers sitting below looked at each other, looking a little embarrassed. It seems that this is another thing that the king himself did temporarily.

After Noah came to Fish-Man Island and there was news that he was Tiger's savior, Ryugu Castle started a simple investigation.

It was discovered that these two were criminals wanted by the World Government and the bounty was not low. Fishman Island still knew about the historical text of the O'Hara Incident, and even put a piece of it in their Sea Forest.

The 100-year-old high-ranking officials have also heard a little bit about why the world government is afraid of blankness. The legend of Neptune is not a legend to the royal family.

This time King Neptune's promise to the O'Hara remnants is likely to attract the attention of the world government.

Although it is 10,000 meters under the sea, the ministers all know that there must be spies from the World Government in Fish-Man Island, and maybe even in Ryugu City.

This time it becomes more troublesome. However, the king of his country had already made a promise and the ministers had no choice but to obey.

After a few rounds of changing glasses, Princess Otohime returned.

The princess has a very high status on Fish-Man Island and is determined. She makes the decisions on many major matters. She is also born with the "power of seeing, hearing, and color". She can hear the inner voices of others and can also use this ability to make speeches. She is a woman who is both passionate and compassionate.

This woman is very outgoing and generous, always promoting some of her own ideas during chats.

Use peaceful means to change the relationship between humans and Fishman Island, so that the fishmen and fishmen can freely go to live on land.

It took Noah several times to realize what he was saying. He was actually being criticized by others.

The concept is very good, and Princess Otohime is also a person who can practice her own ideas. However, she is too idealistic and many things are divorced from reality.

Fishman Island’s own unilateral contribution alone cannot bring about equal dialogue.

As long as the slave trade on the sea is stopped, Fish-Man Island will never be peaceful for a day. Now that it escapes from the protection of the deep sea and returns to the sea, it means that it is serving others' dinner plates.

Moreover, Fish-Man Island still has its own historical issues that have not yet been resolved. No one in the world knows about the agreement between Joeyboy and Neptune, nor does the one between the Five Old Stars and Flowers know about it.

Idealists always use intuition to understand the world and emotions to make judgments about the world.

But most people in the world are realists. Princess Otohime is willing to sacrifice her life for her ideal future, but the greater risks brought about by her ideas will be borne by all the residents of Fishman Island.

Noah likes people with ideals, but he doesn't like idealists. There is a huge difference here.

So Noah is very confused about whether Princess Otohime should pass on the fire.

If this kind of person cannot wholeheartedly agree with your ideas, they will constantly counterattack to prove their ideas.

Trouble.

Otohime's innate ability to sense people's emotions.

She could feel that Noah, who was sitting opposite, had many thoughts about her idea. There is admiration, disdain, a little recognition, and more opposition.

This makes Otohime very strange. She has experienced many emotions of disdain and opposition, but such contradictory emotions are rare.

"May I ask whether two scholars from O'Hara have any different opinions on my idea?"

Noah pondered for a moment and felt that he should speak his mind.

"Do you know how many Baileys a mermaid can fetch at a human auction house?"

These offensive words made everyone present very angry. How could you say such words in Dragon Palace City! But Noah didn't care, he wanted to continue talking.

"500 million Baileys!"

If no one talks to you, pick up the conversation yourself.

"Do you know how many Baileys a middle-class, that is, relatively affluent family in a very prosperous town in the East China Sea needs to live in a year?"

"Two million beli! The least remote areas require only 500,000 beli."

"A senior said that once there is an appropriate profit, capital becomes bold. If there is 10% profit, it is guaranteed to be used everywhere; if there is 20% profit, it will become active; if there is 50% profit, it will be used everywhere. It takes desperate risks; for 100% profit, it dares to trample all human laws; for 300% profit, it dares to commit any crime and even risk hanging. If turmoil and disputes can bring profits, it will Encouraging unrest and strife. The smuggling and slave trade are evidence of this.”

Everyone at the scene was shocked by this bloody and dirty capital explanation. These words made everyone present instantly lose the courage to return to the sun.

Otohime mustered up her courage and said

"There is also a world government, as long as the world government is willing."

"Ahem, Princess Otohime, if, I mean, if Fishman Island returns to life on the sea, but a large number of your compatriots are captured by the World Government and enshrined to the Celestial Dragons, what will you do?"

Hearing Noah's words, the banquet hall suddenly became quiet.

Tiger's hands shook for a moment and then fell silent, then looked at Princess Otohime with a complicated look.

"I will seek the world government's participating countries to sign a petition together to ask the world government to stop this wrong behavior."

"What if the World Government doesn't stop? What if the World Government sends troops to attack the Fishman Island on the sea? Are you sure you can protect the residents of the island?"

"I will use my life to protect everyone."

Otohime said firmly with a sincere tone, and Noah also believed that she could do what she said. But this is the biggest evil of idealists in anime.

"But other people will die on Fish-Man Island, and then war will sweep across the country. It may be the grandma from Fish-Man Street, or it may be the newly born little mermaid. Why do they have to die for your ideals? There will be countless others. Dog-like pirate ships come here to hunt. Who doesn’t want to make a lot of money? What about the people of Fishman Island? Their biggest wish is to return to the real sunshine and not become slaves under the sun.”

Otohime didn't know what to say, her knowledge and knowledge couldn't help her. Everything the man in front of me said was serious, as if it was destined to happen in the future.

It’s already 100,000 words long. This is the author’s first novel, and it’s indeed difficult to write. The subject matter is a bit sensitive and will be modified and blocked frequently, but as long as everyone continues to support it, the author will stick to it. Thank you everyone.
