"Well, how about we pretend we've never seen this? You take this merman back, and we can live in peace from now on?"
Chris still didn't want to believe that Big Mom was real, but he had no better way. He also had no evidence to prove that Big Mom was fake.
Besides, the fighting power displayed by Leliana was rather bizarre, and Chris really didn't want to get involved here.
Even if he could win, he would have to consider whether he would be hunted down by the BIG MOM Pirates in the future. He was once a pirate himself and knew that some pirates in the New World were very particular about their reputation.
If you don't follow the rules they set, you may be chased to the death.
"No, Dad said that human traffickers should be hanged from streetlights."
"Asshole, you forced me to do this!"
Suddenly, a silver tentacle rose from behind him and wrapped around his neck. Countless mercury liquids emerged from the gaps under his feet and wrapped him up. The unique metallic color of mercury made it impossible for outsiders to see what was happening inside, but soon Chris lost the ability to resist.
"Riley, there's no need to say anything more to a person like this. No matter what led him down this path, it's not a reason to forgive him."
"I understand, Dad. But what about the remaining one? He's also a human trafficker, right?"
That group of humans had been dealt with, and the only one left was the fishman Nuno who was involved in this incident.
"He shouldn't be handled by us. Let the laws of Fishman Island judge him."
This is a racial issue. It is not appropriate to execute a fishman on Fishman Island as a human being, even if he is a human trafficker.
People who witnessed the whole incident may be able to understand it, but others may not.
Maybe some rumors will spread in the end, which will be detrimental to future plans.
In the end, Nuno was taken away by the Sea King Army who arrived late. According to the laws of Fishman Island, he would probably be sentenced to life imprisonment.
This is the norm in this sea. No matter which island, the death penalty is rare. Even the most vicious pirates are usually just sent to Impel Down. Hodi Jones and his gang committed the serious crimes of treason and murder of the royal family, but they were not executed immediately.
When being taken away by the Neptune's army, Nuno kept crying and complaining that his child was sick and that he couldn't raise enough money if he didn't do this.
"well"
Looking at the fishman being taken away, Yiji sighed and said nothing.
Hateful? Pitiful? Or perhaps even pathetic? She didn't know how to describe it.
Her innate ability to see and hear things gave her conveniences that ordinary people didn't have, but it also brought her countless troubles.
"Otohime, your goal is ambitious, but achieving it is difficult, not only from the outside, but also from within. This person is also from Fishman Street, right?"
"Well, it's rumored to be a barbaric place."
"Don't spread rumors. I'm from there. Fishman Street is very barbaric."
Shaq also came over carrying a package and just happened to hear Otohime talking about Fishman Street.
Due to the incompetence of the management, Fishman Street has become a gathering place for illegal groups and the most violent area in Fishman Island. Shaq did not choose to recruit people there because it was too chaotic.
In the original timeline, the chaos in Fishman Street continued until the appearance of Fisher Tiger. After growing up, he defeated Fishman Street and became the boss there, which improved the situation in Fishman Street.
"Being savage has its advantages. Speaking of which, Shaq, are you interested in the position of boss of Fishman Street?"
"Eh?! Mr. Oran, are you asking me to become the boss of Fishman Street? I can't do that. I don't have that ability."
Shaq quickly waved his hands. He had no confidence in this matter.
"Don't underestimate yourself. Your teeth can easily bite through chains, and you have something that none of them have. At least when your compatriots are in danger, you choose to help instead of retreating. You are qualified to be the boss of Fishman Street."
Interfering with the current royal decision-making of Fishman Island is a bit complicated for Oran, and he doesn't have time to plan a coup here.
Even if this is to be done, one must be a murloc or a mermaid.
The same principle applies to incorporating Yuren Street.
If Shaq could really become the boss there, at least it would be much easier for Orlan to recruit employees, and if the power of Fishman Street could be completely integrated, the royal family would more or less listen to their opinions.
The power of the fish species inherited by the merfolk at birth will also affect their combat capabilities. Octopus merfolk have more arms, some merfolk can use toxins, and shark merfolk generally have sharp teeth and stronger physiques.
"But I can't help you with this. Relying on external forces, especially human help, I'm afraid it won't be possible to convince those people. So, Shaq, you should work hard to become stronger. This is the way to practice domineering.
Besides exploring, you should also try practicing. If you can master this, it should be enough for you to conquer Murloc Street."
The military strength level of Fishman Island is a bit exaggerated and weak. As an island close to the entrance to the New World, the warriors of Nine Snake Island generally possess domineering power, but the fishmen are different.
Although they have special abilities such as Fish-Man Karate and Fish-Man Ju-Jitsu to control water, they are still fundamentally different from Haki.
If you don't master dominance, there will always be a gap between you and being powerful.
Even the royal family of the entire Fishman Island does not understand Haki, let alone the Sea King's Army. The only ones who can use Haki are all fishmen who are pirates.
"Mr. Orlan, do you really think I can do it?"
"Shaq, you have to have faith. How can you say it's impossible without trying? Should we have given up in that situation?
Don't you also want to protect this island? Only by integrating these forces can you better achieve your goal.
Hard work may not lead to success, but giving up is doomed to failure."
Shaq also promised to repay the favor. So far, he has not fulfilled his promise. After all, anyone can be a tour guide.
After considering many ideas, Shaq finally decided on the idea proposed by Oran, which was to let Fishman Street have a common boss first.
And in this process, Shaq also got a helper - Otohime.
Otohime does not advocate violence, but the facts have taught her countless lessons.
Fishman Street is now like the stubborn disease of Fishman Island. Even people of the same race are murdering their compatriots. How can we talk about peace between races?
Unify the Fishman Street and make it a shield to protect the Fishman Island. Use the influence of the number of people in the Fishman Street to make the royal family make changes to create a better future.
Oran's intervention made Otohime change some of her ideas, but she herself was very weak and could only leave the matter to her current companions.
With Oran's explanation, Yiji understood the name of her power.
And she also has a new mission, to help Shak guide the power of Observation Haki.
With the help of someone who knows how to use Haki, the effect of learning Haki can be twice as effective with half the effort.
After the purchase was completed, Oran did not stay in Fishman Island for too long, and soon left Fishman Island with the ship that completed the material purchase.
Shaq also has his own new short-term goal. Although there were some rumors that he was employed by humans, as long as he is strong enough, these rumors will not have any impact at all. The concept of strength being respected is particularly obvious in Yuman Street.
Even Aaron, who hates humans, would restrain himself and be more collected under Tiger's orders. If Tiger had not died in the end, Aaron's future might have been completely different.
"Uncle Shaq, you have to work hard to become stronger. Mr. Orlan has high expectations of you."
"Yes. This way, we can help Mr. Orlan when he does something big. It's best if we never have to experience something like that again."
"event?"
"Nothing, that's all for the future. Mr. Orlan isn't one to follow the crowd, but let's focus on the immediate matters first, like paying out this month's wages."
Aiming to be the boss is one thing, and it does not conflict with continuing to recruit people. Using changes in life to attract others to join the underwater exploration team is also one of the current goals.
In a sense, today went smoothly.
Shortly after Orlan left, the rescued mermaid also found Otohime and Shak and expressed her willingness to join the exploration team.
When leaving Fishman Island, Oran dealt with the human traffickers for them, but did not chase after the "big pirate". When passing by the Navy Headquarters in the Sabaody Archipelago, he asked the navy there to help bring a letter to Zephyr.
The general meaning is that I heard that your naval training camp has been running for a while, and it is almost time for the first batch of students to start actual combat. There is a group of pirates near the Sabaody Archipelago. If there is no problem, you can treat them as imaginary enemies.
Oran didn't know how Charlotte Linling would act. Logically speaking, Charlotte Linling wouldn't chase such a person for thousands of miles just for Leliana. At most, she would just eliminate him if she met him by chance.
However, Zefa gave a positive response shortly afterwards, which was considered to be adopting Oran's opinion, which brought endless trouble to Brett.
Because the two most outstanding students in Zefa's class are named Sakaski and Borsalino.
Even though Zefa was very strict, he had to admit that after a few months, he had nothing more to teach them. The two monsters had already mastered the basics, and all that was left was continuous training.
In the following days, Orlan also delivered several training robots to the Navy, and then continued its own project research.
Time passed silently, and before we knew it, it was 1492.
Zach's learning process has made progress. He has mastered the ability to use his body tissues to imitate human speech. He is currently trying to change his voice according to Orlan's requirements, so as to evolve into a "voice actor".
In the past two years, the person who has changed the most is Leliana. Two years ago, she was about the same size as an ordinary person, but now, at the age of five, her height has reached three meters, making her the tallest member of the Sidilir family.
