Chapter 198 Porusalino: Cleaning up Means Causing Destruction Everywhere!
Although it is located 10,000 meters deep in the sea, Fishman Island also has "sky" and "clouds". This is because the giant tree "Sun Tree Eve" that grows near Fish-Man Island can absorb sunlight through the top of the tree and transmit it to its roots, causing its roots in the deep sea to emit as strong light as sunlight. Therefore, the originally dark Fishman Island would experience sunlight and changes in day and night. Local residents even described this phenomenon as "the blessing of the sun."
Looking at the entire Fish-Man Island, the place that best embodies the "blessing of the sun" is the Mermaid Bay. There are a large number of beautiful coral reefs, colorful soft sand, and charming mermaid girls...it is the entire Fish-Man Island. One of the unique attractions.
However, this is also the place where robberies are most likely to occur. Slave traders even call this place a "mine" - every careless mermaid girl may become their gold mine.
As the future naval base commander of Fishman Island, and also one of the leaders of this "cleaning operation", Kuzan personally led a team of marines to go here after discussing with Porusalino and Princess Otohime.
"Hey, is this paradise? It's so beautiful!"
"Tsk, tsk, tsk, I'm afraid that's not the case with Mariejoia..."
"Wow, wow, I really want to live here all my life!"
The team of sailors led by Kuzan are naturally not new recruits with little knowledge, but even they are completely shocked by the beautiful scenery of Mermaid Bay - quite a few of them finally understand why the children like it In the fairy tales I read, the mermaid kingdom always represents fantasy and beauty.
Of course, the arrival of the human sailors who were incompatible with this place naturally attracted the attention of the mermaid girls who were playing in the water here. These simple-minded sea elves either looked at them quietly with curious and innocent eyes, or they had the courage to wave and say hello - one of them, a blond mermaid who looked like a "big sister", even directly addressed her with a graceful gesture. He swam to Kuzan and said softly:
"...Excuse me, are you the Major General Kuzan who gave a speech in Dragon Palace City before? Did you bring the sailors to protect us? We have been waiting for you for a long time!"
Frankly speaking, as a high-ranking naval officer who upholds justice, Kuzan has encountered many people who admired him for his handsomeness since he became a sailor and participated in the global fight against pirates. beautiful girl. So at this moment, even when facing this charming mermaid girl, he didn't lose his composure at all, and even his voice became deeper and more steady than before.
——It’s not like men pretend to be serious in front of beautiful people of the opposite sex! But to better show the spirit of the Navy!
"Hello, beautiful mermaid lady, I am Rear Admiral Kuzan of the Navy Headquarters. Nice to meet you. Our navy will start from today to coordinate patrols with the Ryugu City Guards to strengthen the detection of pirates and slave traders throughout Fish-Man Island. We are cracking down on them. Excuse me, have you seen these criminals around here recently? Even if you have clues, please tell us, we will not let any criminal go!"
"Well... we did see a few sneaky human uncles the day before yesterday, but they just looked around a few times and then never showed up again... We don't know if they are criminals, but give us It feels very bad..."
"Is that so... It seems that they are investigating the situation and waiting for further follow-up actions,"
Kuzan touched his stubble-free chin and mused - as a veteran seaman who has experienced many battles, he is naturally quite familiar with the tricks of these scumbags, "That's right, they are indeed They are criminals... Miss Mermaid, you and your sisters should be familiar with this place, right? Can you help us lurk? We plan to wait for them to start taking action, and then take them all down..."
"Of course it's no problem! There are many large coral reefs here, which are very suitable for Tibetans! It's just..."
"Just what?"
Seeing the mermaid girl hesitate to speak, Kuzan frowned subconsciously.
(She’s not asking me for an autographed photo, right? Oh, what if that’s the case? I’m not as shameless as Porusalino-senpai.)
"...You seem to have a nosebleed, Major General Kuzan, are you injured?"
The beautiful mermaid had a worried look on her face, completely unaware that her turbulent body, which was simply wrapped in a jade-white shell, was the real culprit that caused Kuzan to be injured and bleed—the so-called murder weapon, or so it was.
…
"The shrimp catcher!"
"Spider!!"
"Throw tiles!!!"
Unlike Kuzan, who played steadily and adopted traditional tactics to try to capture the criminals in key areas in batches, Porusalino's style of cleaning up the area he was responsible for could be described as unrestrained. He borrowed a giant turtle loaded with large bubbles from Ryugu Castle that was specially used to transport guests, used it as a "dump truck", pushed it by himself, and then made random damage near the entrance of Fish-Man Island - everything hanging No ship flying the pirate flag can escape his vicious hands.
"Damn it! Are you really not planning to slow down?!"
A certain pirate ship captain stood at the stern of the ship, gritting his teeth as he looked at the approaching spinning giant turtle.
"Captain, that Porusalino is a lunatic! Let's not confront him head-on. Let's leave as quickly as possible! We can leave Fish-Man Island soon! It's not cost-effective to conflict with him at this time!"
A loyal younger brother kindly advised me.
"No! Since he wants to harm me, then I will give him this chance!"
The captain showed a ferocious smile, "My ship 'Titanic' is made of 80% ironwood! The shipwrights say it is unsinkable!! I think so too." !!!”
"So let's see who's tougher! Polusalino of the Navy!"
…
five minutes later.
"Lieutenant General Porusalino, you said that you would hang the bodies of these guys on the ice tower made by Major General Kuzan, but you can't always provide us with these pieces of meat... uh, Not even minced meat.”
Looking at the wreckage of the pirate ship and the pirate remnants on it, which seemed to have been completely shattered by the sharp teeth of the Sea King, the left minister of Ryugu Castle, who was responsible for leading people to clean up the battlefield for Porusalino, looked helpless - and he The sailors and Ryugu Castle guards behind them who were collecting the pirate remnants from the wreckage of the pirate ship also nodded quickly, thinking that Minister Zuo had spoken out their feelings.
"But you can't blame me,"
Porusalino shrugged with an innocent expression, "I just punched them..."
"But your punch is bigger than half a Sea King! The people nearby thought that the Sea King had rushed into the Fish-Man Island!!"
"Well...it's all Titanic's fault! What an unlucky name!"
"..."
…
Just like a residential area on land is more valuable the closer it is to relatively rare greenery, the housing here on Fishman Island is more valuable the closer it is to the upper areas, that is, the closer it is to the sun.
Ever since, in a penthouse apartment in a gathering place for rich people called Fishfordly Hills——
"This is different from what was promised, Minister Guy! Why do we suddenly launch a crackdown on all slave traders and pirates?!"
A fat man covered in gold ornaments slapped the table hard, "Now that the situation is like this, how can we transport our goods out?!"
"Hey, let me declare in advance that I don't care how you humans transport the goods. According to the agreement, I am only responsible for helping you provide the goods, so even if all these goods fall into your hands, I will not refund a penny. !”
A dark brown-skinned fishman sitting on the sofa grinned his big mouth full of sharp fangs.
The slave trader, who was so angry at the words of this bastard murloc partner, glared at him fiercely, then picked up the red wine placed in front of the table and drank it in one gulp, then smashed the wine glass into pieces.
The slave traders who usually operate on Fish-Man Island, whether they are humans or fish-men, are mostly "self-employed" pirates. After they catch the slaves, they will directly send them to the auction house, and then from the auction house Get the money over there. At this time, this fat man is a top channel merchant with a higher status who directly cooperates with the world government - he buys from those unscrupulous traffickers or pirates who take the risk to capture them. The mermaids and murlocs that arrive are then transported directly to the Holy Land of Mariejoia through the hands of the world's nobles. In this way, the profits and power he can obtain are beyond the reach of ordinary slave traders.
Of course, even if the World Government gave his slave business the green light, he still had to use another identity to disguise himself - when he landed on Fish-Man Island, the entry information he filled in was that of a person with multiple procurement departments of the World Government. Wealthy businessman with long-term cooperation.
"This kind of thing is not something I can decide, Halliday, but it is the general trend,"
Minister Guy, who was standing by the window, looked at the beautiful scenery of this rich gathering place through the window, while murmuring, "The small preferences of the Tianlong adults are important, but in the important mission of the Wulaoxing adults, In front of us, we still have to push back... There is no way that your slave business will affect the Navy's base construction on Fish-Man Island, right?"
"Hmph! This is not my slave business! Minister Guy, this is the business of the Tianlongs! If it were just my own business, I wouldn't be so anxious!"
"Don't worry, I will go and explain to the Tianlong people. It's just that the slave arrived a little late..."
"What do you mean, Minister Guy... Do you have a way to get these slaves out?!"
"What else?"
Minister Guy chuckled and said, "If there is no other way, why should I contact you? Wouldn't it be better to just treat you like an ordinary slave trader and eliminate you like Lieutenant General Porusalino and Major General Kuzan did? ?”
"...Well, you just love to joke, Minister Guy..."
"I'm not kidding you."
"..."
Seeing the sneer on Guy's face, the obese man felt his scalp numb and cold sweat oozing out all over his back - he now extremely regretted not using a respectful tone towards Guy just now because of his anxiety and anger.
"Hahahaha! Interesting! Interesting!"
When the sharp-toothed murloc on the sofa saw this, he laughed and clapped his hands and said, "The internal fighting among you humans is really interesting! Can it be more intense? I want to see a river of blood!"
The fat man once again glared at the fish-man fiercely, but Guy completely ignored the latter and continued:
"In half a month, I will return to Mariejoia with the warship, and at that time, Ryugu City will provide me with an additional large ship to load the gifts from Fish-Man Island to the world's nobles. The Heavenly Dragon in your hand The slaves that the adults want will come back with me, do you understand?"
"I understand, I understand, but is it really okay? Just walk away like that?"
"Does anyone still dare to check my ship?"
Guy raised his chin proudly.
"...That's true, but what you mean is, do I have to keep these slaves in my hands for another half month?"
The obese man took out a handkerchief from his pocket and wiped the cold sweat from his forehead. He smiled bitterly and said, "But you also know the current situation. The navy and Ryugu City Guards are hunting slave traders and pirates everywhere, and the risk of exposure is very high. It's big. And this is half a month, and these people's food and drink are also a big expense... I can't let the Tianlong people see the hungry and half-dead mermaids, right?"
"Ahem!"
The sharp-toothed murloc sitting on the sofa cleared his throat abruptly, "Our murloc street not only provides slave supply services, but we can also help you collect and solve the food problems of the slaves... Of course, there is a fee."
"Then leave them in Fishman Street,"
Minister Guy waved his hand casually, "This place is fine."
"But Minister Guy, won't Fishman Street be cleaned up this time?"
The fat man hesitated and said, "This is a well-known lawless area on Fish-Man Island. The navy must..."
"Hey! Halliday, there are 80,000 compatriots in our Fishman Street! As long as Brother Aaron gives the order, just a navy? Come and we will kill each one! Even the navy marshal will kill him!!"
The sharp-toothed murloc stood up with a ferocious smile.
The corner of Guy's mouth slightly raised in a slightly sarcastic arc: "...It's right, Fishman Street is very safe, and the Navy will not attack there."
(Because in half a month, I will personally destroy you and there...)
"……I see."
The fat man nodded and showed a rather painful expression - he would have to bleed heavily if he sent the slaves to a "black warehouse" like Fishman Street.
However, Guy's next words made him excited again, and even his eyes turned red with excitement:
"Also, after this time, the slave business will definitely not be possible for a long time, so Halliday, you might as well take this opportunity to make a big move. The Dracos can eat it anyway... 500 mermaids, what do you think?”
…
At the same time that Fish-Man Island was "turbulent", a big event was also happening in a famous kingdom called Solbey in the South China Sea, thousands of miles away from Fish-Man Island.
In fact, the reason why this country is famous is entirely because they have a special king - a monster with an extremely cruel reputation. As a king, he is treated as a pirate by the navy and the world government. The bounty reaches 200 million beli. He is known as a tyrant. .
Amid the propaganda of the World Government, the residents of this country have been living in dire straits. The "tyrant" Bartholomew Bear used his powerful force to make this country struggle in blood and fire. No one can resist him. The navy, representing justice, has been fighting against him, trying to rescue those citizens, but to no avail.
However, the propaganda content of the World Government is often far from the truth or completely opposite——
"Mr. Xiong, you are still as gentle as ever."
The current Chief of Staff of the Revolutionary Army, Long's lover Lucy smiled and accepted a cup of coffee while thanking him.
"I'm not good at anything, making coffee is just a personal interest,"
The man standing next to Lucy was extremely tall. At nearly seven meters tall, he could be called a little giant. He looked extremely powerful and cold with a gentle smile on his face. "But if it can make the guests feel delicious, then it will be really good." Very good."
"Contrary to you who are as gentle as ever, the World Government is as shameless and extremely vicious as ever." After taking a sip of the coffee brewed by the bear, Lucy shook her head slightly, "The kingdom of Sorbey is in dire straits. ? Just because he resisted and refused to join the government, he was demonized and turned into a devil..."
"There are actually very few countries like this."
Xiong said softly.
There are really not many countries that are qualified to speak against the world government without being killed. The reason why Bear's Kingdom is included is that his personal factors must account for at least 90%.
"Before, Long and I always felt that none of the kings was good,"
Lucy sighed, "But after your kingdom learned the real situation, it feels like we are still too narrow-minded..."
"You are not right, Miss Lucy,"
Xiong shook his head, "I'm afraid that a king like me is just an exception. It's not that you are narrow-minded. After all, the reason why I chose to become a king is to protect this country and shoulder the expectations of the people, not to become a king." After becoming the ruler, you can enjoy the greatest privilege of this country."
"That's right. A king like you is just an exception... In fact, even if you don't look at the king, most of the nobles have that disgusting look."
Xiong nodded: "These people are our enemies."
"Yes,"
Lucy also nodded, but then raised her lips, "But there is good news, Mr. Xiong, Long has found a new strong and reliable partner in Beihai, and he has also accepted a disciple..."
"Oh? That's a good thing. Our team has grown again!"
"With your words, Mr. Xiong, our revolutionary army now has the ability to promote a new subversive action~"
"Miss Lucy,"
Xiong couldn't help showing a surprised expression, "Looking at you like this... you and Mr. Long have already chosen a target?"
