Arkham in the pirate world

Next to a sunken ship, Lister and Fitz met Dan, a shipwright and "Forest of the Sea" researcher. He was an Eastern wolf-mermaid, wearing a dark hat, thick-framed glasses and earrings. His hair was thick and spiky. He has a sharp face, a slightly downturned nose, a beard on his chin, and sorrel patterns on his arms and shirt.

Dan read Granny Kokoluo's letter, looked at Liszt, and said, "Kokoluo said in the letter that you want to hire a group of fishmen?"

"Yes, I have some work that I need fishmen and mermaids who can survive in the sea." Liszt nodded candidly.

"To be honest, because of Princess Otohime's death, it's hard for me to trust a strange human being."

Dan said bluntly: "I can take you to see King Neptune, but I won't speak for you. Whether you can convince the king depends on you. However, don't hold out too much hope. Although King Neptune has inherited Princess Otohime's philosophy has become the main peace faction on the island that advocates that 'murlocs and mermaids should coexist peacefully with humans', but in his heart, he still has doubts and resentment towards humans."

After killing his wife, Neptune really doesn't hate humans?

hatred!

But he is the king of Fish-Man Island and needs to focus on the overall situation. The death of Princess Otohime made him realize that allowing hatred to grow is a terrible thing and will bring disaster to Fish-Man Island.

Can fishmen and mermaids really resist humans?

Let’s take a look at what troubles Fish-Man Island will bring to human pirates after the Great Pirate Age begins.

If Whitebeard hadn't spoken out and protected Fish-Man Island, the fish people would probably have faced annihilation.

Therefore, even though he was dissatisfied in his heart, Neptune endured it and stood up for peace to promote the peaceful development of the two races.

Liszt believed that Neptune would be a wise king. The key was how to make other fishmen believe in him.

The grievances between the two races cannot be explained in a few words. This can be seen from Dan's attitude.

As the younger brother of the late fishman Tom, the world’s number one boatbuilder, Dan was a famous boatbuilder on Fishman Island, a researcher on the “Forest of the Sea”, and a well-known figure on Fishman Island. He knew many of the upper class nobles on Fishman Island, and through them According to the message, Liszt and his party were summoned by King Neptune, the King of Fish-Man Island and the "Great Knight of the Sea."

Dragon Palace City is located on the top floor of Fishman Island where the sun can be seen. It is a large luxurious palace built of large coral reefs, shells, and other building materials, with a giant dragon entrenched in it.

Riding on the giant flounder with large bubbles on its back, we arrived at the entrance of the Dragon Palace. The magnificent building was greeted by Minister Zuo leading a group of guards in front of the door.

Minister Zuo is a catfish man, wearing a top hat, a single-sided spectacle on his left eye, and holding a horn cane in his right hand.

Minister Zuo first looked at Dan, then his eyes fell on Liszt, and he said politely: "Your Excellency, you are what Dan said, Viscount Arkham from the Kingdom of Levis in the East Sea, right? I am Minister Zuo of Fish-Man Island, King Neptune. I have been ordered to welcome distinguished guests from afar!"

Liszt bowed and saluted like a gentleman, and said, "I am Arkham Liszt!"

"How brave you are to be able to come here from the East China Sea!" Minister Zuo praised him officially.

"Please forgive me for being rude, but for the safety of the king, your Excellency cannot bring any weapons in."

"Understandable!"

Liszt smiled.

After being inspected by the guards, Liszt, Dan, and Fitz followed Minister Zuo into Dragon Palace City.

As for Crowe, he had to stay behind to prevent the crew from causing trouble or other accidents.

The spacious palace is decorated with all kinds of exotic corals and pearl shells, making it magnificent.

King Neptune, who is stronger than the average mermaid, sits on the throne. He wears a crown, has thick and fluffy orange hair and beard, has flame-like tattoos on his arms, and has thick body hair. Holding a finely carved trident.

"Hoo ho ho ho, distinguished human guest from afar, why do you want to see Neptune?" King Neptune has a generous and kind personality but is quite childish. He often shouts his own name, so he is a weird king.

Lister said: "Dear King Neptune, I come for the peace of Fishman Island!"

"Huh?" Neptune looked at Liszt in surprise.

"The clear blue sky, the beautiful white clouds with strange shapes, the warm sunshine, the beach paved with golden sand, the clear bay, the air with the fragrance of earth and forest, is there anything more beautiful than this?"

For the fishmen and mermaids living in the dark deep sea, Lister's description is enough to arouse their infinite reverie. From the perspective of humans, things that are within easy reach are dreams that they can only hope to achieve.

In Liszt's infectious words, King Neptune, Minister Zuo, and the surrounding guards all fell into the beautiful picture, as if they were already in it.

"Hmph, don't listen to the rhetoric of humans. Have you forgotten how Princess Otohime died?"

A voice filled with hatred sounded coldly, breaking the illusions of the fishmen. They were immediately ashamed of their actions just now, and looked at Liszt with angry eyes. Even King Neptune was a bit sullen. , asked in a deep voice: "Human, what on earth are you going to do?"

Liszt withdrew his gaze from the tall fish-man who was speaking. The other person's hostility was not concealed at all, and his eyes revealed a deep hatred for human beings. Liszt had experienced this kind of look from Aaron, and he was an extreme racist. .

"Peace! Dear King Neptune, I come with the sincerity of peace, not hatred and hostility. If I have evil intentions, with all due respect, your guards will not be able to stop me." Liszt's tone changed. Toughly, he looked at the tall fish man with a provocative look.

"Insanity!"

A tall fishman stood up. He had slightly curly black hair, a flat hat with a trident pattern on his head, a wolfskin scarf around his neck, and a large area of ​​tattoos on his left arm, including "Evil Dragon" "Gang" tattoo.

He stared with round eyes, and his three-meter-tall body was extremely oppressive. He said coldly: "Arrogant! Humans are all insidious and despicable guys. How can you who cannot survive in the sea be the opponent of the great fish-men? ?”

"I have heard the same remarks from a guy named Aaron. Unfortunately, he is dead. It seems that you want to give it a try?" Liszt said with a smile.

The tall fishman's pupils shrank, and King Neptune and Minister Zuo looked at each other. As the "face" of Fishman Island, Aaron and his group are relatively famous. They had a falling out with Jinbe, who is currently one of the Shichibukai. After that, he ran to the East China Sea.

Not long after, there was news that Aaron and other fishmen were burning, killing and looting in the East China Sea, and were defeated by the branch navy. Aaron died and the rest of the fishmen were captured.
