Pirate's Sword Tower Tavern

"Princess Otohime is back"

"Your Highness Otohime"

"Great, as long as you can come back alive, so will we"

"Welcome back, Otohime-sama"

It has been two days since Slack came to the island. .xianni.

The atmosphere on the island has not been very good these days.

Just looking at the atmosphere here, Slack thought that all the murlocs on the island were dead.

However, when the ship carrying Princess Otohime returned from Fishman Island, the atmosphere on the entire island changed again.

If Luo Yi hadn't told Silk about Princess Otohime's reputation on Fish-Man Island before, it was only after Silk arrived here that he truly understood what it meant to win the hearts of the people.

Seeing everyone crying and crying at the port to welcome the princess back, they were filled with joy from the bottom of their hearts.

Slack, who was still eating in the restaurant, saw everyone in the restaurant, including the owner and chef, running out, and followed him out with a rice bowl to watch the excitement.

As a result, a strange scene appeared on Fishman Island.

On the boat, Princess Otohime held a piece of paper in her left hand, squinting her eyes and waving her arms to everyone on Fishman Island with a smile.

The port of Fish-Man Island was crowded with mermaids and fish-men. Everyone was cheering and crying to welcome the return of Princess Otohime.

Behind this group of people, a ferocious-looking murloc was holding a bowl and basin, eating seaweed.

Gilkrude Square.

Here is the large square of Fish-Man Island, a huge square that can accommodate hundreds of thousands of people. At this time, the entire citizens of Fish-Man Island have gathered together.

“A word from the nobles of the world exerts great power even in a world meeting of kings.”

"This is written by the world's nobles, and the content is"

"For the sake of friendly exchanges between the fish people and humans, I will also agree with the submitted signatures."

"that is to say"

“When more signatures can be submitted at the world conference, this piece of paper will give us more realistic power to move to what we can definitely do.”

Having just returned to Fishman Island, Princess Otohime went directly to the square without any pause and announced this important news.

"Dragon people will support signatures"

"unbelievable"

The voices of exclamation kept coming and going, but Princess Otohime did not stop.

"So after this, what we need is more signatures. For me, I can only wait for your decision."

"Please be sure to express your will to coexist with humans and your will to move to land."

Picking up the small ballot box from the ground, Princess Otohime took a deep breath.

The square suddenly became quiet.

There was no reaction from anyone.

How should I put it? It’s like a lecturer constantly preaching his own way of success on the field, saying that you need to be generous in life, I will give one million to those who betray me, and one million to those who are loyal to me. Ah, understand the applause.

As a result, no one liked him, which was really embarrassing.

But Princess Otohime didn't feel any embarrassment.

Before this, she had made a lot of efforts to collect signatures, and there were even cases where all the submitted signatures were taken back.

On the high wall of the square, Slack was squatting on it. After listening to Princess Otohime's speech, even Slack wanted to go up and vote. He felt that he could strongly feel the will of Princess Otohime.

"What a domineering sight. The power of this world is also very magical."

Looking at the silent square below, Slack recalled what Luo Yi had said to him before.

"After Princess Otohime returns to Fishman Island, she will start collecting signatures. However, a few days later, a soldier named Hody Jones in Ryugu Castle will bribe the human pirates to light the signature box, and then he will take Otohime's signature box. The princess will be killed, so just pay attention to this fish man."

That's what Luo Yi said. It seems that the problem this time is how to save Princess Otohime while also exposing Hodi's ambition.

After all, there was no evidence to prove that he wanted to assassinate the princess by killing Hody before he shot him. But if he waited for him to shoot, he would have to save people in the square, and then run to the high wall and kill Hody. Get caught.

However, Luo Yi also said that Hodi killed the human pirate not long after he fired the gun. It seems that he must act quickly this time, first saving the princess, and then killing Hodi. Catch Hody first before humans.

By the way, Luo Yi seemed to have said that Hody's behavior would be seen by a shark.

In other words, even if I beat Hody to death, I still have fish certificates to prove that it was Hody who fired the gun.

Thinking of this, Slack nodded and formulated a course of action for the next few days.

While thinking, the crowd began to surge in the square below.

One after another, the children squeezed out from the crowd, ran to Princess Otohime in the center of the square, and dropped the signatures in their hands into the box one by one.

"Are the children here to make me happy again? Aren't they going to say that they want to take it back?"

Looking at the children who came to deliver the signatures, it was the children who had taken the signatures back. Although there was still a smile on their faces, it could be seen that it was a bitter smile.

"I can't tell you anymore. Mom also said I wanted an autograph."

"Ugh"

In surprise, the citizens stepped forward one after another and put the signature papers with their names into the box. Each piece of paper was filled with 10 names.

The population of Fish-Man Island is 500 million. Even if every piece of paper is filled, there will still be 50 pieces of paper. This is not a small number.

"Hey, hey, follow the order."

“Everyone, line up.”

"don't push me"

"Your Highness Otohime, such a small box is simply not big enough."

"What do you think the population of our country is?"

The small box was quickly filled.

As for Otohime, her face was already filled with tears and she was speechless. She didn't know whether it was tears of joy or tears of emotion.

"Give way, I'm sorry, please put everything behind here."

Four soldiers from Dragon Palace City appeared carrying a huge box that was as tall as a person.

"Princess Otohime, what should I do if you are crying like this? Please go over there and rest."

"but"

"Those who agree with the princess's enthusiastic wishes, please put your signature here."

The one who spoke was the right minister of the Ryugu Kingdom, whose race was a seahorse mermaid. With the face and tail of a seahorse, he presided over the signature collection activity in place of Princess Otohime, who was speechless.

"Uuuuuuuuuuuuuuu"

Princess Otohime, who was crying loudly, was sent back to the palace by Minister Zuo, a catfish mermaid wearing a top hat and a unilateral glasses on his left eye.

For several days, the square was filled with people from all over the country holding signatures.

As for Slack, he would come to the highest point of the square every day during the day and overlook the situation below. In a place full of mermaids and fishmen, it was not difficult to see humans.

Finally, in Slack's sight, a human with a sniper rifle appeared.
