Pirate: I can copy fruit ability

The architectural form of the Sea Dragon Palace is similar to the Undersea Dragon Palace in Journey to the West that Rubick had seen.

Because on the seabed, all buildings are made of stone, and the overall style is a dome-topped tower, plus a lot of corridors as connections.On top of the entire Dragon Kingdom, there is a statue of a divine dragon that Rubick is familiar with. It dominates the entire Dragon Palace and is very domineering.

This is a dragon palace, and the guards are all strong, but in Rubick's opinion they are all just show-offs.

After passing through the main gate and the imperial gate, Rubick and his party came directly to the meeting hall of Hailong Palace.Neptune, who had thick orange hair and a beard, was seen sitting on the tall throne.

Neptune is known as the Great Knight of the Sea, and his strength is no less than ordinary.He is 12 meters tall and very huge. Sitting on the throne with his tail facing forward, he looks very majestic.

To the left and right of Neptune stood two civil and military ministers.

Wearing a long robe and looking like an old man, Minister Zuo, a catfish and mermaid.

The right minister of the seahorse mermaid wears armor and carries a sword at his waist.

Neptune's voice was very loud, and seemed a bit buzzing in the empty conference hall.

"Dear King and Queen of the Kingdom of Sky, I welcome you both to Fish-Man Island. I am Neptune, the King of Fish-Man Island."

Rubick and Cornis quickly responded: "Good day, Your Majesty Neptune."

Neptune said: "I know you like to talk about things at the dinner table. I have prepared food that suits your taste. Please wait a moment."

Neptune waved his hand, and Minister Zuo commanded a group of murloc guards to carry a large long table and place it in the meeting hall. Soon, the mermaid girl came up with plates of dishes.

However, since it is a separate meal system, it does not seem like there is much food.Moreover, mermaids do not eat meat and fish, so most of what Neptune and the others put in front of them were fruits and vegetables.

None of the mermaid girls left, but served behind everyone.

Neptune said loudly: "I never like to beat around the bush, could your Majesty Rubick tell me what kind of cooperation you are talking about?"

Rubick said: "Whitebeard was the one who protected Fishman Island before, but now Whitebeard has passed away. So, Your Majesty Neptune, have you ever thought about how to deal with those people with malicious intentions in the future?"

In the past, every time pirates passed by Fishman Island to go to the new world, they would stop by to rob it.The life of Fish-Man Island was miserable, and it wasn't until Whitebeard domineeringly announced that he had taken over Fish-Man Island that things changed.

According to the plot, the aunt will take a fancy to this place in the future, and a sweets factory will be built to specialize in producing sweets for the aunt.

Neptune said helplessly: "I don't have any good solution at the moment. If His Majesty Rubick has one, I hope you can give us some advice."

Rubick said: "If I were the king of Fishman Island and had such a unique geographical location, I would have dominated the four oceans long ago."

Minister Zuo said: "Your Majesty Rubick, please pay attention to your wording."

Rubick said: "This is the only way to connect the front and back of the great shipping route. I will definitely develop military power. Everyone who passes here will have to pay a large toll. In this way, the country will become very prosperous. , and then use this money to feed back the people, and we can gain the support of the people."

"Then we will vigorously develop the population. As the population increases, there will be more and more warriors, and then we can gradually expand our territory. Murlocs and mermaids are the kings of the sea, and no one will think of fighting them in the sea."

"And so many strong people in the world are fruit-ability users, so we are not afraid of them in the sea. With such an advantage, Fish-Man Island will become the top country in the world."

Neptune was silent for a long time: "Then what kind of cooperation do you mean?"

Rubick said: "Have you ever thought about moving? Do you long for sunshine? Do you long for peaceful coexistence with human beings? Do you long for international status?"

Neptune shook his head: "We will not leave here, we have our persistence."

Rubick spread his hands and said: "Then there is nothing to talk about. My Gate Fruit can open a huge teleportation gate. It will be easy for your entire country to migrate. You can completely find a better one outside." Stable places develop slowly.”

Rubick knocked on the table and said, "I really don't understand. Above you are the Chambord Islands where human traffickers are most rampant. This is also the only way to the New World. You are always living in a state of mental stress. How can you feel at ease like this?" To develop this country properly?”

Rubick looked at Neptune: "As a king, your first priority is to make the country better. But with all due respect, Fishman Island has not made any progress in the past few decades."

Rubick pointed at Jinbe and said, "Brother Jinbe is already over 40 years old. Are there any good prospects among the younger generation of Fish-Man Island now?"

Hearing Rubick's question, the two little princes were a little angry, but the eldest prince agreed.He believed that his strength was still not up to the level of Jinbei when he was young, and he had been patrolling the country and the sea all year round, but he really didn't find any particularly good seeds.

In other words, the military strength of their Fish-Man Island has reached its peak.

Rubick said: "In this world, the strong are respected, and only those who are strong can protect their beloved people and country. Why do I continue to improve my strength, continue to win over major forces, and even go to war with the navy?"

"That's because my wife is a winged person and an angel. Everyone in my country is an angel. Such a minority group will eventually perish if they are not protected by strong strength."

Neptune also agreed very much, but he still couldn't agree.He said: "I really want to agree, but Princess Otohime has worked hard for most of her life and even sacrificed her own life to adhere to the policy. I will not allow it to be abandoned halfway."

Rubick didn't force it, put down his business card, and quickly left.

Outside Hailong Palace, Jinbei said: "You should have been mentally prepared for such a situation, right?"

Rubick nodded and said, "Yes, after I heard you tell the story of Princess Otohime, I was prepared. However, times have changed, and I believe His Majesty Neptune will make the right choice in the future."

Jinbei smiled and said, "Yes, your plan made everyone excited."

Rubick asked again: "Jinbei, what are your plans next?"

"Let's take a look first. Father Whitebeard has died, and the island will become unstable again."

"You can ask Red Hair if he is willing to take over. With his face, no one dares to act wild here. But if it is Auntie, then there will be a considerable price to pay."

"Where's Kaido?"

Rubick shook his head and said, "He's not interested."
