---------------
The undercurrents on Fish-Man Island were extremely turbulent, and Neptune was about to step down in favor of someone stronger.
Vander decken IX continued to threaten Shirahoshi with marriage proposals and, with great fanfare, offered to ally with Nami to overthrow the Ryugu Kingdom!
It was normal for a Fish-Man to marry another Fish-Man.
As Vander decken IX was a well-known figure on Fish-Man Island, he was also considered one of the stronger individuals there.
However, Vander decken IX, who wanted to control all of Poseidon's power, was torn apart by the enraged Tidal Sea Spirit Fizz, who summoned a large number of Sea Kings.
Although Fizz looked unusual and had a female voice, the Tidal Sea Spirit was actually a male Yordle...
Vander decken IX, who had been infamous on Fish-Man Island, was destroyed by Fizz summoning the Sea Kings.
Vander decken IX's death, which followed many terrifying legends on Fish-Man Island, demonstrated Fizz's ability to summon Sea Kings in front of countless Fish-Men on the island.
After the shocking event, the residents were left stunned for a moment before erupting into deafening cheers!
The cheers for Nami, who had managed to make Fizz surrender, grew louder and louder.
In the deep sea, what could be safer than the protection of countless Sea Kings?
And Neptune, who witnessed Fizz's ability to summon Sea Kings,
Widened his eyes in amazement and quickly chose to abdicate in favor of someone more worthy.
Neptune had originally considered relying on his daughter Shirahoshi's power to make a comeback.
After all, Neptune may have been kind and generous, but it seemed like he had done nothing wrong.
Being unexpectedly removed from the throne that had been passed down for generations left him feeling dissatisfied.
However, he never imagined that the strange figure who neither looked like a mermaid nor a princess might actually be Poseidon!
"Could it be that the legend passed down by our ancestors was wrong?"
"Or is it possible to be Poseidon without being a mermaid princess?"
Neptune was confused, but he wasn't foolish enough to use his daughter, a semi-functional Poseidon who was sometimes ineffective, to fight against a complete Poseidon capable of summoning a massive number of Sea Kings.
After Neptune led all the ministers and Poseidon Army members still loyal to him to abdicate, Nami, the Tidecaller, was officially crowned as the new ruler of Fish-Man Island.
She became the daughter and queen of the sea.
The first thing Nami did after she was crowned Queen of Fish-Man Island was...
The goal is to conduct a census of all residents of Fish-Man Island and demolish Fish-Man Street at the same time.
Free food and compulsory education are provided to all young Mermen.
Education is extremely important. The foundation of a strong nation or country lies in its education system.
At the same time, we strongly support the development of Fish-Man Karate on Fish-Man Island and express our gratitude to all the soldiers on the island.
We provide training materials for the Marine Six Styles, swordsmanship, and even the techniques for using the two types of Haki.
Mermen, who are born with ten times the strength of humans, should not be weaklings who can only fight small fish.
Of course, after becoming the queen of Fish-Man Island, Nami made the most important decision that shocked the entire world.
She decided to block the route to Fish-Man Island.
Ships traveling from the first half of the Grand Line to the New World, or ships returning from the New World to the first half of the Grand Line, must either buy a pass token or stay in the deep sea.
All the wealth on those ships, including the bounties on the heads of the pirate captains, will be used to feed Fish-Man Island and help build Nami's reputation as the Queen of the Deep Sea.
When the news spread that Nami, the new queen of Fish-Man Island, had blocked the island's route, the whole world went into a frenzy!
Fish-Man Island is the only route in the pirate world where criminals can travel from the first half of the Grand Line to the New World.
Blocking this route will choke the throat of all pirates and members of the Dark World.
This is essentially declaring war on half the world.
Serious merchants and ordinary people in the pirate world can use the World Government's Red Line route, but who cares?
In the past, Fish-Man Island was weak and, despite owning valuable land, it had to give in to powerful pirate groups.
At the same time, it had to stay as far away as possible from Fish-Man Island to protect its citizens from being destroyed or robbed by those pirate groups and lawless individuals.
But now, times have changed.
Nami's incredible strength makes Fish-Man Island almost invincible in the deep sea.
And with the Sea Kings summoned by Fizz, the entire route to Fish-Man Island can be blocked!
Given these circumstances, wouldn't it be a waste not to fully use the terrain advantages of Fish-Man Island to eliminate countless pirate groups and criminals?
If Nami didn't want to make countless pirates and criminals her mortal enemies, but also didn't want to completely cut off Fish-Man Island's future financial resources, she had to find a balance.
For all the pirate ships and merchant ships from the Dark World trying to pass through the Fish-Man Island route, Nami and Fizz not only charged high tolls, but also seized the entire ship.
Nami and Fizz had no problem robbing pirate ships and Dark World merchant ships.
However, instead of outright robbing, they found it more profitable to simply charge tolls.
Too much plundering would ruin the route. If piracy got out of control, pirate ships and cargo ships would just bribe World Government officials and use their routes, which would mean making enemies of the World Government.
Nami and Fizz never worked to make enemies of their own. They preferred to make money the right way.
The Fish-Man Island route was blocked, and any pirate ships or Dark World merchant ships that refused to pay the large tolls were destroyed by Fish-Man Island's warriors and the Sea Kings summoned by Fizz.
The ships that did pay the toll could safely pass along a fixed, secure route without worrying about Sea Kings attacking them.
Nami and Fizz were careful to ensure the safety of the ships that paid. In return for the tolls, they made sure the ships could navigate through the dangerous deep sea without fear of being attacked.
Before Fizz summoned the Sea Kings to block the Fish-Man Island route, a large number of Sea Kings roamed freely in the deep sea, causing massive damage to pirate ships.
"Hey, what's this?"
"I've never seen this before. Want to take a bite?"
With a snap, the Sea Kings would bite into the pirate ships, breaking their coatings and hulls to pieces.
Then they'd spit the ships out with a few "Bah, bah, bahs!"
Sea Kings didn't like eating wood, so they'd quickly lose interest.
But once the ship's coating was destroyed, most pirates or criminals would meet their end in an instant, turning into a blood mist with no remains left behind.
The Sea Kings, knowing that pirate ships weren't tasty, might soon feel confused again and ask, "What's this? I've never seen this before. Want to take a bite?"
