The Journey of the Goddess Beginning with Pirates

Chapter 40 The sting from salted fish

Looking at the confused mermaids in front of him, Xiu deeply understood the meaning of the word "life is not easy", but he had no choice, he chose the road by himself, and he had to finish it on his knees!

"If you just want to enjoy life on the ground and don't care about the development and changes of other countries, then settling in the windless zone can basically achieve this goal. At present, except for the navy, no country can pass the windless zone on a large scale. bring.

However, this will lay hidden dangers for the future. Once the human country develops a method to safely pass through the windless zone, Fishman Island, which has been disconnected from the world for a long time, will only be coveted by other countries again. This time may be ten years , or maybe 100 years. "

"Then, if we want to integrate into the surface world, what should we do?" King Neptune had completely given up thinking and settled down to act like a salted fish.

"I have also made a plan in this regard." Xiu said as he turned out a piece of paper with dense writing, "Establish a fishman transportation company!"

"Establish...a company?" The fish people couldn't understand that integrating into the surface world required setting up a company.

Xiu already had a feeling of being overwhelmed at the top, and an inexplicable sense of superiority slowly emerged in his heart...

"Yes, first of all, it was announced at the World Conference that Fish-Man Island strictly adheres to the position of a neutral country in the relationship between countries, and will never join any country's war, nor will it interfere in any country's internal affairs."

"Hmm." King Neptune understood a little bit and nodded repeatedly. The position of a neutral country is indeed very suitable for Fish-Man Island.

"Then there is the Fishman Transportation Company I am talking about. At the beginning, we only cooperated with the country and large chambers of commerce. The cooperation method is that Fishman Island provides sea beasts and the fishmen who operate the sea beasts to help the ships of the country or chamber of commerce quickly move at sea. Move, even directly across the windless zone, and get a cut of the cost.”

"This is very simple. We don't need to charge a fee." Shark Star suggested. He simply believed that this would gain more favor from humans.

"No, you have to charge! The explanation here is very complicated. You just need to remember that between countries, only interests are the longest-lasting friendship! Don't believe any promises, even those written on paper."

Xiu stopped and looked at King Neptune.

“I have seen some kings who can even transform into demons for the sake of their country, leaving all propriety, justice and integrity behind. I have also seen some kings who can treat their people like pigs and sheep to be slaughtered for their own selfish desires.

Compared to these people, King Neptune, you seem to be just a national mascot.

You can neither point out a way forward for your people, nor create a happy life for your people. Even your people have to worry about whether they will be hurt by passing pirates in their own country, but what you can do Yes, just hang up another human pirate flag to protect your country!

And Fish-Man Island looks stunningly beautiful, but just like the bubble wrapped outside, once it is popped, nothing will be left. When the countries on the ground grow with iron and blood, you Slowly decaying at the bottom of the sea, King Neptune, let me ask you again, are you really ready to get to the surface, to that sunny but cruel world? "

Faced with Xiu Zi Zi's heart-breaking words, the ministers on the left and right could no longer hold back their anger. They looked at King Neptune, but saw that King Neptune's expression was still calm.

It wasn't until Xiu's last question that he slowly said, "Xiu, you're right, I'm not a qualified king, but I can feel your anger because you like Fish-Man Island and you really want to Help us, thank you! Please teach us how to survive on the ground!"

It seems that even salted fish will become sperms as long as they live long enough...

Xiu breathed out softly, "I understand. It seems that you are already mentally prepared. So, King Neptune, there is no mission for you here for the time being. You can then consider the speech at the World Conference and the transportation company's affairs. .”

King Neptune nodded, indicating that he completely obeyed the arrangement, and sat aside and started writing on a piece of paper.

Xiu turned his attention to the right minister again, "Right minister, with all due respect, although the palace soldiers are loyal, their strength is too poor! The king and the royal family are needed to protect the soldiers. Isn't this an insult to the soldiers!"

"This..." The right minister was speechless for a moment and didn't know how to explain it, because whether it was facing the counterattack of the Straw Hats or the attack of Hodi's men, the soldiers did not achieve anything, but the old seahorse did not defend himself, but He said in a deep voice, "I will strengthen the training of soldiers."

"In addition, let the science department develop guns that can be used underwater to increase the combat effectiveness of soldiers, such as using bubble coral to increase the pressure in the barrel and launch bullets or other things."

"No problem!" The right minister nodded repeatedly. This is indeed a good idea.

"In addition, I suggest forming a patrol team to protect the safety of the civilians on Fish-Man Island. The Dragon Palace does not need so many guards. The port where pirates log in is the place that needs to be defended!"

"I can understand the patrol, but the defense of the Dragon Palace is also very important!" Loyalty to the royal family made the right minister unwilling to lower the palace's defense strength.

"The people of a country are the most important!" Xiu retorted unceremoniously.

"But..." The right minister was about to protest, but was stopped by King Neptune on the side, "Xiu is right, listen to Xiu!"

"Yes, Your Majesty." Although the right minister had the courage to criticize the king when King Neptune acted indiscriminately, he would still fulfill the king's orders meticulously.

"In addition, there are too few soldiers. We need to expand the number of soldiers. This number will not be enough to protect the security of the entire country when you really move to the ground!" You have to start training Yu-man Karate at a certain age, and you have to practice it to a certain level. The specific level is up to you."

"That's no problem, it's just the cost of building the dojo..." The right minister looked at the left minister with some embarrassment. The left minister also had a headache because all the treasures in the treasure room were given to Big Mom.

"This is not difficult. I have another request. A huge stone tablet should be erected at the port where the pirates landed, with the laws against pirates engraved on it. Those who do not comply will hang next to the stone tablet for three days and then give it to the navy in exchange for a bounty. , and also see if we can purchase some sea-floor stone handcuffs from the Navy.”

"But if you do this, it will offend mankind..."

Xiu looked at the right minister strangely, "Most pirates are criminals at sea and are not protected by any country's laws. There are countless humans who hate pirates. It is very strange to allow pirates to cause trouble in their own country, right?" !”

Everyone was stunned. Their long-term acceptance of human beings has made them accustomed to compromise and concessions, but they have forgotten that pirates do not represent all human beings.

"Besides, since we are here on Fish-Man Island, how can we not abide by the rules of Fish-Man Island!"

Xiu's voice was not loud, but it deeply shocked everyone. Yes, this is his own country!
