Pirate, I am the demon fox that brings disaster to the world!

"King Neptune, I know very well that there are many good people like Lady Otohime among humans, and I certainly hope to realize the vision that Her Highness the Princess has spoken of..."

While the fighting forces of Fishman Island were doing their best to block the foreign invasion, inside the palace of Ryugu Kingdom, a tall red fishman spoke with emotion to the even larger coelacanth mermaid beside him.

If there were other people paying attention here at this time, they might not be able to help but exclaim in surprise, because the other person was the hero that people said had "passed away", Fisher Tiger!

"Well... I kind of understand what you mean, Tiger."

Hearing Tiger's unfinished words, Neptune nodded thoughtfully, and then followed his meaning and added,

"You mean to say that peace won't come, at least not now, right?"

"Although the reality is cruel, it is true, King Neptune.

Compared with the evil that occupies most of the ocean, our little hope is probably insignificant!

If we want peace, we must first remove the cancer among humans! Only then will Lady Otohime's vision be realized!"

Tiger said with a serious expression, perhaps it was the subtle influence of Yakumo Shiro, or perhaps it was the new thoughts about the future of Fishman Island during the time when he disappeared from the public eye in the past few years, which made this fish-man hero behave in a completely different way from the original.

Such changes, as well as the message conveyed to King Neptune at this time, will undoubtedly lead the future of Fishman Island in a new direction.

"Cancer? The biggest cancer is those hateful Celestial Dragons, right?"

King Neptune said without hesitation that anyone who was a member of Fishman Island would understand who was the culprit that had brought them to their current situation, and where were the scumbags who desired this race the most!

However, although this is something that everyone knows, another equally obvious problem is also bothering everyone at the same time, that is, how can Fishman Island fight against the Navy and the World Government with its own strength?

If they want to go to the surface and gain equal status with the Fishmen, in addition to becoming a member country and relying on the power of the World Government, if they take the path of resistance, they must wipe out the Celestial Dragons, the root cause of the disaster on Fishman Island! And they must completely cut off the slave trade!

Otherwise, unique races like mermen and mermen will still inevitably be coveted by those with ill intentions!

Therefore, they are caught in a dilemma, and the ultimate reason is still strength!

"It would be great if there were more people like you, the Golden Emperor, and Yakumo Haku. Unfortunately, the guys who capture and trade slaves have dominated this ocean. This is the eternal sorrow of this ocean!"

King Neptune sighed. Now these crazy guys dared to throw away even the reputation of the Whitebeard Pirates. What could stop the growing greed in people's hearts in the future?

Would the country be closed off from the outside world from now on? But that would just be a slow death!

Hearing King Neptune's words, Tiger's expression darkened. Just as he was about to say something, he suddenly noticed a pink fish tail in the corner behind King Neptune. As if he had thought of something, Tiger asked tentatively,

"Princess Shirahoshi?"

"Hmm? Yes! Ah~ No no~ I'm not... I didn't...

Ugh…Ah!!!"

As a chaotic rebuttal sounded, a large loli mermaid slowly appeared.

Under the surprised gazes of the two, a timid-looking pink-haired "girl" was hiding timidly behind a wall. It seemed that she was a little scared of seeing the "legendary" character. Shirahoshi tried hard to cover her figure, but it was obvious that the other party's body shape was totally inconsistent with her age, which made this plan completely futile.

"Shiro...Shirahoshi?"

Upon seeing this, King Neptune swam forward hurriedly, extremely worried that the other party did not stay in the room properly. After all, this was the greatest "treasure" that Otohime left for him, so there must not be any mistakes!

"Shirahoshi, what are you doing here? Go back to your room, things outside will be resolved soon! Everything will return to normal!"

Neptune said anxiously, but at this time, after the initial panic, Shirahoshi was rarely "tough".

At first, he glanced at Tiger behind Neptune with some doubt, as if wondering why a person who had long been "dead" would appear here?

Bai Xing slowly swam out from behind the wall, with a long, beautiful pink fish tail showing her complete beauty. She placed her hands on her chest and looked at her father who was looking at her worriedly. She was silent for a long time, as if she was organizing her words.

I only heard her finally muster up the courage to whisper,

"I...I know, father, mother, she is...already dead! She will never speak again...will never show that gentle smile again..."

As if she had used up all her strength, the young Shirahoshi gasped deeply. Obviously, just understanding the concept of "death" had made her panic-stricken, not to mention that what made her feel this existence personally was the death of her own mother!

"Well……!"

Neptune was speechless for a moment. Guilt, confusion, anger and other expressions flashed across his face for a short time, but without exception, they were all mixed with deep sorrow. Just as he was about to say something to comfort her, he heard Shirahoshi trying to control his voice and saying with difficulty,

"But...if my mother were still alive...she would not want to see Fishman Island suffer the current situation..."

A pair of bright eyes were already filled with tears, and they rolled down uncontrollably. Under Neptune's distressed and panicked gaze, Shirahoshi tried to wipe away the tears, but she could not wipe them away. At the same time, she choked with sobs and slowly uttered words.

"So...so, I want to be like my mother...to bring smiles to everyone...

I...I am not afraid of those humans...because...because my mother also..."

"Wuwuwu... because of mother... because of her..."

Tears fell like water splashes. The young mermaid princess could not bear the double pressure of her mother's departure and the crisis facing Fishman Island. After the strong strength she had held up collapsed, she finally sobbed uncontrollably.

Come to think of it, even though under Otohime's teachings, the other party knew the situation of Fishman Island and the beautiful vision of going to the ground long in advance, but how could a six-year-old girl bear the pressure?

Being able to muster up the courage to find King Neptune is already a miracle!

Such a bold action probably took a long time for the other party to finally make the difficult decision!

"Princess Shirahoshi..."

Seeing that Shirahoshi, the noble mermaid princess, actually showed such an attitude, Tiger's expression suddenly became extremely complicated, and at the same time he felt a deep sense of responsibility on his shoulders.

Whether it was Princess Otohime or the predecessors of the fishmen, countless people died on the road to freedom for the fishmen...

How long has Fishman Island been subjected to such unfair treatment from hundreds of years ago to the present? Do we really want the descendants of Fishman Island to endure this injustice for generations to come?

No! no way!

If the price of resistance is bloodshed and sacrifice, then it is better to let our generation bleed first! Even if it can only bring a ray of hope for the future, it is enough!

As long as the younger generations like Shirahoshi can no longer experience panic and fear, then what does it matter even if I have to sacrifice my own life?

Tiger thought silently in his heart, but at the same time he knew that the fishmen alone could not compete with the government. If he wanted to change the situation, he would need more allies besides the Whitebeard Pirates!

For example, the Golden Emperor, for example, Yakumo Haku who planned the entire slave riot!

Thinking of this, Tiger turned around and wanted to leave. As a "dead man", he probably couldn't leave on his own initiative. If the government knew that he was still alive, it would only make the situation worse!

Therefore, let's organize the guys in Fishman Street! Seek more allies and help! This is a more effective way for Fishman Island to survive this crisis!

However, before Tiger could leave the palace, a huge shadow quietly approached the sky above Fishman Island.

The commotion outside and among the crowd made Tiger speed up his pace, and at the same time attracted the attention of Neptune and Shirahoshi, who followed him.

When everyone was standing outside the palace and looking up, they saw a huge ship slowly descending at a constant speed. The shape of the ship was very familiar. It was made entirely of wood, ancient and weathered. It was the huge ship that had been guarded by Fishman Island for eight hundred years - Noah's Ark!
