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

"Mr. Yakumo, thank you very much for your help!

The fishmen will always remember this kindness!"

At the celebration banquet after the war, King Neptune spoke to Yakumo Shira with unprecedented solemnity. Several princes and Princess Shirahoshi also expressed their most sincere gratitude.

This is probably the first time in eight hundred years that the royal family has treated an outsider with such high standards and etiquette. Even the Roger Pirates were just friends with whom they had a decent relationship.

Yakumo Shiro and Hancock gladly accepted such a treat. Whether it was the special food of Fishman Island or the dazzling mermaid ladies, they all made people feel relaxed and happy, and they were reluctant to leave.

Instead, Rayleigh kept a serious expression on his face, secretly observing Yakumo Bai's actions, thinking about the other party's possible plans.

He was being nice to others for no reason. If Yakumo Shiro said that he came all the way to Fish-man Island just to help the fish-men resolve the crisis, he wouldn't believe a word of it!

Be it the timing, the behavior, or the unusual movements coming from the sea, there was something very wrong!

According to King Neptune's brief account of the incident afterwards, Rayleigh was almost certain that Shirahoshi was the legendary mermaid princess who could control sea kings, and the key figure that Roger regretted not having the chance to catch up with!

It is also the entire purpose of Yakumo Bai's trip!

The Sea King, one of the three ancient weapons! Controlling her is equivalent to controlling the entire ocean!

"It is indeed thanks to the help of Brother Yakumo! After all, with my current status, it is not suitable for me to show up in public. If I act rashly, it may bring new troubles to Fishman Island!"

In stark contrast to his inner vigilance at the moment, Rayleigh instead took the opportunity to praise him, acting like a senior, as if he was very pleased with the achievement of his junior.

"Hmm~ After all, I have some connection with the fishmen, and Tiger is the one who bears the charges imposed on me by the World Government!

It is not reasonable for us to just sit there and do nothing. Just as I said at the beginning, all races in this sea are equal. Why should the Celestial Dragons be so superior?

In that case, as a member of the Fur Tribe to some extent, wouldn't I also be in danger of being captured and enslaved?"

Yakumo Shiro smiled and said something that was totally impossible to happen, but at this time he brought up his identity as a fur tribe and put himself in the same situation as the mermaids. It must be said that he was able to gain a lot of goodwill.

Sometimes one must admit that the gap in strength is often the most profound barrier. Although I have a favor for the fishmen, after seeing their overwhelming strength, unless they are close to them to a certain extent, as long as they have some sense of vigilance, they will have a basic distrust of me.

This is an unstable factor for my next plan, so it must be eliminated!

"That's a joke, Mr. Yakumo. It's my honor to be the culprit who started the riot in the Holy Land rather than a false accusation!

Who else has been able to achieve such an achievement in the past few hundred years?"

Tiger said cheerfully, not regretting at all that he had joined Yakumo Shiro's riot plan.

“What’s more, I was able to return to Fishman Island alive thanks to your help, Mr. Yakumo. Now the entire Fishman Island is indebted to you. Even if those Celestial Dragons really want to attack you, they have to step over my dead body first!”

Honesty and frankness are the greatest characteristics of this fish-man hero. Therefore, not only Yakumo Shiro, but even Neptune and others present were not surprised at all by these words that almost expressed loyalty and pledged allegiance. It can be said that if it were not the case, Tiger would no longer be Tiger.

"Haha~ That's not the case. After all, if we really encounter the Celestial Dragons, it's hard to say who will be whose slave~"

With a calm face, he said words that made people tremble with fear and made the fish people's hearts surge. Yakumo Bai shook his head, but said with regret,

"However, although this wave of invading slave traders has been completely annihilated, and Vander Decken, who was plotting evil, has also been killed, the future of Fishman Island is still under discussion, King Neptune.

What are you going to do next? At least they will not give up until the Whitebeard Pirates officially intervene. But even if the Whitebeard Pirates announce their intervention, they can't always keep an eye on the situation on Fishman Island.

You know, the pirates in the New World, even the Beasts Pirates, as well as the navy and the government, are always keeping an eye on the strongest guy in this world!"

"There are only two choices. One is to maintain the current status of the member states and continue to work hard to promote peace between humans and the fishmen... even if things like this are bound to happen in the process..."

King Neptune said with a heavy look, and there was a deep struggle in his eyes.

"The other option is to secede from the World Government, close Fishman Island to the outside world, temporarily put aside the desire to go to land, and at the same time, do our utmost to eliminate the cancer among humans and prepare for future peace...

I think that's it, isn't it? Lord Yakumo?"

Tiger added another option at the right time, and as the other party's voice fell, everyone present fell into an unspeakable silence.

Rayleigh was worried about the current situation, while Hancock inevitably recalled the bad experience of being captured in Marijoa. She expressed deep sympathy for King Neptune, especially Shirahoshi who was trying hard to join the conversation.

Although everyone present knew the other party's identity as an "ancient weapon" and kept silent, this did not affect how Hancock viewed the fate of the "big girl" in front of him.

To some extent, isn't it sad that at such a young age one has to shoulder the heavy burden of winning freedom and liberation for the race, even if it has the potential to shake the world?

In comparison, I am already very lucky to have met the destined person in a time of crisis, and with his help, the whole country is heading towards a prosperous and new future...

Thoughts could not help but drift to the present life of Amazon Lily, which has advanced by more than one era. Even Hancock, who is arbitrary and self-willed but actually has a soft heart, could not help but feel deeply fortunate.

After incorporating the entire country into the Beasts Pirates, Hancock also learned to some extent about the progress of seastone technology. It is hard to imagine that if the navy really develops warships that can cross the Calm Belt, the future of Nine Snake Island may be the same as that of Fishman Island, with an unpredictable future and being coveted by the world's nobles and slave traders!

Fortunately, the Amazon lily has now left a comfort zone that would eventually become its grave, and has entered... a new comfort zone?

Thinking of this, Hancock's clever and flexible little head suddenly realized a new problem, that is, since the Whitebeard Pirates are willing to give Fishman Island shelter, why don't they move the Fishmen to their territory? Instead, they have to seek support from the World Government?

Is the other party's approval really important? With the strength of the fishmen and the Whitebeard Pirates, they are enough to gain a foothold in the New World. Even the most daring slave traders would have to think carefully if they wanted to go deep into the territory of the world's strongest man and capture his family. So why not do it?

She said whatever she thought. The proud empress would not allow any problems other than Yakumo Shiro to bother her. So when everyone fell silent, the beautiful snake who had always been a little transparent beside Yakumo Shiro spoke bluntly, and in her usual unquestionable tone.

"Um... Although Miss Hancock's idea is a third option, and Amazon Lily has indeed successfully gotten rid of the problem of the failure of the Calm Belt, this does not apply to the Murlocs..."

King Neptune smiled bitterly and said,

"Because of a long-standing agreement, the fishmen will wait here for a destined person, with Noah's Ark as a witness. He will fulfill a promise that was not fulfilled long ago...

This is the heritage of the fishmen, so it cannot be easily betrayed..."

His Majesty the King's words came to an abrupt halt. The merfolk present, including Neptune, seemed to have subconsciously overlooked one thing because of the joy of the crisis being resolved!

That is, Noah’s Ark—is gone!
