Chapter 108 Collecting Tolls
"Why do you want to make a deal with me?"
Neptune really couldn't think of anything he could do with Enel.
Eneru saw Neptune's doubts and explained, "Well, I don't need the annual protection fee of 300 million Berry..."
Neptune lost his voice, "What!?"
The sharp voice was extremely abrupt in the banquet hall, and it immediately attracted everyone's attention.
Even the singers and dancers on the stage stopped moving.
A group of people looked at Enel and Neptune who were sitting at the top without knowing what was going on.
From the analysis of the situation just now, it seems that the request made by Enilo is very unreasonable, which shocked King Neptune so much.
Everyone in the Dragon Palace Kingdom knows that Neptune is negotiating with Enilo about the annual protection fee.
Now it seems that the talks are not going very well!
The Thunder God Pirates didn't care.
A small fishman island can turn the sky upside down.
If Enilo really gets angry, just kill him right away.
Anyway, everyone is a pirate, not a good person.
The atmosphere in the banquet hall became tense in an instant.
Anilo and Neptune felt the tense atmosphere and knew they would be wrong.
So, Eneru explained with a smile, "Don't get me wrong, I'm discussing cooperation with King Neptune, it's fine.
Then play music, then dance.
I also want to continue admiring the art of Murloc Island. "
Following Anilu's words, the atmosphere instantly eased up.
The mermaid singer continued to sing, and the mermaid dancer also twisted her body.
The banquet hall returned to its previous cheerful and peaceful appearance.
Neptune couldn't wait to ask, "Master Enilo, you don't even want 300 million protection fees, what kind of deal are you going to do with us?"
After much deliberation, Neptune felt that the most valuable thing in Fishman Island was the female mermaid.
Could it be that Anilu wants him to use a female mermaid to cover the protection fee?
If this is the case, even if Enilo is the fifth emperor of the sea, he will absolutely not accept it.
As a king who cared about his subjects, he couldn't do such a thing no matter what.
"The deal I want to make is very simple. You just need to set up a toll booth at the entrance of the Fishman Island, and require every pirate group that wants to pass through the Fishman Island to pay the toll."
Listening to the deal proposed by Enel, Neptune breathed a sigh of relief.
Fortunately, it's not what he thought.
As a last resort, he did not want to conflict with Enilo.
Neptune said with some embarrassment, "Master Enel, you know the strength of Murloc Island.
Those pirates who dare to go to the new world are generally not weak. It is really difficult to get us to collect their tolls. "
The pirates who want to go to the new world through Murloc Island are basically elite pirates who have experienced a lot of fighting along the way, and their strength is not weak.
And if the strength of Fishman Island is really able to forcefully collect tolls, they don't need to pay protection fees to Enilo.
Anilu waved his hand and said, "I've thought about this a long time ago, you just need to send someone at the door to collect tolls."
"Then what if they don't give it?"
"No? If you don't give it to you, let them pass directly, and try not to conflict with them."
Um?
The fifth emperor on the sea is so kind, that others will not give it if they don't give it.
However, Enel's next words answered Neptune's doubts.
"You just need to record it with the video phone bug, and I will send someone to hunt them down then."
In terms of finding people, no one is better than Enilo.
Now Neptune finally understood what Enelu meant.
As expected of the Pirate Emperor, his heart is really dark.
"How much toll does the pirate group charge?"
"This is calculated on the basis of the head. One person pays one million Berry, and you can get 10% of it. That is to say, you can get one hundred thousand Berry for every person who passes by.
"
Since you want the horse to run, let the horse be fed.
Taking a share of the benefits and handing it over to Murloc Island can also make them work harder.
Neptune was overjoyed at first, and then shirked, "You have already waived our protection fee of 300 million Berry, and we will not take the money."
"One yard is one yard, you just take it. After all, you still bear a certain risk by doing this."
Seeing that Enilu said this, Neptune didn't shirk anymore.
Even 10% of the toll is not a small amount.
Not every pirate group takes the elite route like Luffy's Straw Hat Pirates. There are more than a dozen people in a ship.
It is common for most pirate groups to have dozens or hundreds of people on a ship.
In other words, Murloc Island only needs to take a little risk, and can get hundreds or tens of millions of Baileys every day.
Such a generous reward, even Neptune, who is the king of the Dragon Palace Kingdom, could not refuse.
Of course Enilo earns more.
After such a conversation, Neptune's favorability for Enilo skyrocketed.
After the banquet, he personally took Anilu and the others to the rest place that had been arranged earlier.
Walking in the corridor, Anilu noticed a tall tower made of hard shells not far away, which seemed a bit abrupt in the Dragon Palace.
Moreover, there are countless traces of knives and axes on it, and some sharp weapons are even deeply inserted into the tower, and some scars seem to have been quite a long time ago.
Enilu immediately realized that the high tower was probably the dormitory of the 'Sea King' Princess Baixing and a shelter to avoid hunting, a hard shell tower.
At this time, Enilo suddenly remembered that the words to introduce Princess Shirahoshi were a peerless beauty no less than Hancock, and suddenly became curious.
So, Anilu deliberately asked, "Why is there such a tower in the palace?"
Listening to Enilo's inquiry, Neptune couldn't help but feel a trace of sadness in his eyes, and sighed deeply.
There are only two people he is most sorry for in his life.
A late Princess Othime, who failed to fulfill his responsibilities as a husband.
The other is the daughter Bai Xing who is hiding in the hard shell tower. He has not done his duty as a father.
After thinking about it, he told Enilo about Bai Xing.
At this moment, a black shadow suddenly flashed from the distant sky, and the sound of a sharp weapon piercing the air could be vaguely heard.
When he got closer, he realized that the black shadow was a sharp long knife, and the gleaming blade shone coldly in the sun.
The target is directed at the hard shell tower.
After listening to the story, Hancock felt quite sympathetic towards Shirahoshi.
After all, she had also experienced this kind of environment in which she was always in danger.
Now seeing that the opponent dared to launch an attack blatantly, he even took the initiative to shoot a small heart arrow and petrified the long knife.
The petrified long knife fell to the ground and shattered into gravel.
