The gourmet among pirates

"If Mr. Robin wants me, the Dragon Palace Kingdom, to send troops to help the Final Fortress, I'm sorry that I can't do anything."

After finishing speaking, Neptune sighed in shame.

"Sir Robin, you may not know that 200 years ago, after our Ryugu Kingdom became a member of the World Government, although it appeared to have a friendly relationship with the World Government and the Ryugu Kingdom was allowed to participate in the World Conference, in fact, humankind has The discrimination and hatred of the fishmen have not improved at all, but have even worsened."

"Even the world government intentionally or unintentionally suppresses our fish-men clan because of our status as a foreign race."

"It's okay if we fishmen don't send troops. Once we do send troops to assist your Final Fortress, I'm afraid it will not only not help your situation, but it will even make it worse."

"After all, we are fishmen..."

Having said this, King Neptune's face turned a little gloomy.

In addition to what Neptune said, there were some things that Neptune did not say that were even worse.

Because young female mermaids can fetch astonishingly high prices at human auctions, mermaids have been kidnapped by human pirates who have come to the island since ancient times.

After the "Great Age of Pirates" started, this situation became more prosperous. Many pirates passing through this place, some slave-catching teams at auctions, the army of a certain human kingdom, and even the navy had people who wanted to get that amazing treasure. In order to achieve their own interests, they launched a large-scale abduction and robbery of the fishmen and mermaids on the fishman island.

If it weren't for "Whitebeard" Edward Newgate, one of the "Four Emperors" a few years ago, because of the request of Namur and those fish-men warriors who left their homes and joined the Whitebeard Pirates to fight for Whitebeard, Announced that Fish-Man Island will be included in the territory of the Whitebeard Pirates.

Only those unscrupulous pirates and slave-catching teams dare not continue to invade Fish-Man Island.

At this time, I am afraid that in order to stop the raging pirates and slave-catching teams, the entire Ryugu Kingdom will have to do its best.

Even with the protection of the Whitebeard Pirates.

In the darkness outside the Dragon Palace Kingdom, there are still many shadows, hiding in the dark and ready to move.

It can be said that Neptune was already exhausted and exhausted from protecting Fish-Man Island.

Let him reinforce the Final Fortress far away in the East China Sea. He... really doesn't have that ability.

Otherwise, he would not have been able to deal with Vander Deken IX who was spying on his daughter.

·······

Facing Neptune's complaint, Robin on the side was also slightly surprised.

Because of the distance, although he had heard a little bit about the situation of the fish-men clan, he never thought that the situation of the fish-men clan would be so difficult now.

But Neptune was wrong about one thing.

After Robin chuckled, he said to Neptune:

"I think His Majesty Neptune has misunderstood. I didn't come to Mermaid Island to ask for help or anything."

"In fact, there won't really be any huge conflict between our Fortress of the End and the World Government. What you see is just us acting in a show with them at the request of the World Government. "

Facing Neptune, who had not awakened his lust for knowledge, Robin opened his eyes and lied without changing his expression.

"A show to coordinate with the World Government?"

Hearing this, Neptune looked suspicious.

The biggest news in the world not long ago was the falling out between the Fortress and the World Government.

The momentum of this incident was even greater than that of the World Government's alliance with the navy to annihilate the Beast Pirates.

Even Fish-Man Island, which is located in the deep sea and does not have close communication with the outside world, has heard about this matter.

But now.

Robin said in front of him that it was just a show played by the Final Fortress in cooperation with the World Government.

How could Neptune believe this easily?

Facing Neptune's doubts, Robin said calmly: "There are some things that I can't say, but the World Government can't hide that matter for long. It won't be long before you will know. By then, you Then you’ll know if what I said is true.”

Now the Fortress of the End has reached an agreement with the World Government.

As soon as the Beihai incident comes to light.

The World Government will declare that what happened on the blue sea was just a misunderstanding.

Therefore, what she said was not deceiving Neptune.

He just took advantage of the information gap to hide some key information from Neptune.

"This·······"

Faced with Robin's eloquent words, Neptune became a little less confident.

Seeing this, Robin continued to smile and said, "The news His Majesty Neptune must have received is that Governor Morin of our Fortress of the End broke out a huge conflict with the World Government because of Ace, the posthumous son of Pirate King Roger. It must be like this tense situation now!"

Neptune nodded hesitantly.

Then, as if he had thought of some conspiracy, he suddenly took a breath and said, "Could it be that Ace's identity is fake? Is this a deliberate plot between your navy and the world government?"

I don’t blame Neptune for thinking so.

When Roger conquered the Grand Line, he also visited Fish-Man Island.

Neptune even met Roger once.

Neptune also asked Roger at that time, and it was clear that Roger did not even like a woman at that time, let alone any children.

Not long ago.

He had been surprised when he heard the news that spread all over the world.

That guy Roger actually managed to leave an heir quietly despite being liquidated by the World Government.

And this has been hidden for more than ten years, and the news has not been revealed until now.

And as soon as he appeared, he attracted the attention of the whole world. Even the promising "Glutton" Molin in the navy fell out with the World Government because of his matter.

Before, he was still thinking about why the World Government and the Fortress caused such a big fuss because of one of Roger's descendants.

But if it's true what Robin said.

This is a play put on by the world government to achieve a certain purpose.

On the contrary, it seems to be reasonable.

Even because of some possibility, Neptune even boldly guessed the identity of Roger Ace's posthumous son, which was all false.

Ok?

Robin, who was about to continue talking, was a little surprised by Nipton's bold guess after hearing it.

Her thoughts changed.

It seems that if the truth is not known, Neptune's guess seems reasonable.

But facing Neptune's gaze, Robin finally shook his head and said, "That's not true."

"Ace's identity is not false. He is indeed the posthumous son of the Pirate King. However, it was Garp, the naval hero, who personally handed Ace over to our Governor and asked our Lord Governor to teach Ace. Do you think Ace's Don’t Lieutenant General Garp and the Navy know his identity?”

"Roger has been dead for more than ten years. Is it really possible to cause such a big fuss over a posthumous son of Roger?"

"Our Lord Governor's strength and status in the navy are not inferior to any naval admiral. In addition, due to the relationship with the noble Celestial Dragon woman he once rescued, even if he really teaches Roger's posthumous son, Will the world government really arrest our governor because of this matter? It’s so ridiculous!”

Having said this, a mocking smile appeared on Robin's face.

According to normal logic.

Robin wasn't wrong in saying that.

In fact, if the Five Old Stars hadn't suppressed Molin in order to suppress Elizabeth's rise.

Even if Morin taught the posthumous son of the Pirate King, the most the World Government could do was scold Morin over the phone and ask him to hand over Ace.

Where would they directly send a large number of combat forces to surround Mo Lin and his party like they did before?

after all.

Until now.

The World Government did not punish Garp, who actually disobeyed the World Government's orders, concealed important information, rescued One Piece's posthumous son, and raised him as an adult.

After hearing what Robin said, Neptune, who didn't know the truth about the World Government's suppression of Morin, suddenly felt that it made sense.

"Since the relationship between the Fortress of the End and the World Government is just a show, then why did Lord Robin come to Mermaid Island this time, and why did you want to help us deal with Vander Deken IX?" Neptune was a little confused. asked.

That huge fish brain seems to be a little insufficient after being exposed to this large amount of information.

After hearing Neptune ask this question.

Robin said: "At the beginning, I just wanted to witness the beauty of the Fish-Man Island on the way to the new world and satisfy my curiosity. After all, the Mermaid Island hidden under the 10,000-meter-deep sea is in the human world. It’s also very famous and there are various rumors about it.”

"As for Vander Deken IX, that guy, it was purely after I came to the island and heard this guy's perverted behavior that I couldn't stand it any longer, so I asked Enel to help him get rid of him. This is good for us. It’s not difficult to say...

After giving Neptune a thoughtful look, Robin paused for a moment before saying, "Originally, Enel and I planned to spend a day or two on Fish-Man Island, then say goodbye to His Majesty and leave Fish-Man Island. "

Neptune, who heard what Robin said, frowned and asked, "Since Mr. Robin took the initiative to find me, there must be some reason that made you change your mind!"

Robin nodded: "Yes, it was Princess White Star who made me change my mind."

"White Star!"

After hearing his daughter's name, Neptune's heart suddenly lifted.

At the same time, a bad premonition quickly rose in his mind.

Robin continued:

"I used to be a scholar, so I read a lot of documents, and I was lucky enough to see records about some ancient weapons, Poseidon, the King of the Sea."

The ancient weapon ‘Poseidon’!

Neptune, who was already excited, suddenly felt his heart sink.

Neptune, who had a bad premonition in his heart, said expressionlessly: "I have also heard about the deeds of the ancient weapon 'Poseidon', but what does this have to do with my daughter!"

"Is it really okay?"

After hearing this, Robin stared at Neptune with unwavering glances.

But those eyes that shone with wisdom seemed to see through everything.

Neptune, who was already a little uneasy, quickly became irritated.

a long time.

Robin took the initiative to break the quiet atmosphere between the two and said: "The information I am looking at is not the information recorded in ordinary documents, but the historical records imprinted on the historical text!"

"You actually understand the text of history?"

Neptune was shocked again when he heard this.

On the contrary, Robin was a little indifferent to this, and said somewhat self-deprecatingly:

"I am a remnant of O'Hara from the 'Island of Omniscient Knowledge'. Is it strange that I can read the text of history? Isn't it because O'Hara read the text of history and violated the taboos of the world government that the world government ordered the massacre? Was the magic order destroyed?"

After deliberately revealing a secret to Neptune and dispelling some of Neptune's fears, Robin continued: "It is precisely because of this that I have a better understanding of the truth hidden by some world governments."

Having said this, Robin looked up at Neptune, whose expression seemed a little unnatural, and sighed:

"If my guess is correct, in history, the mermaid princess in the blank 100 years was the original 'Poseidon' Poseidon! In the blank 100 years, that mermaid princess controlled the sea king class , which established the great reputation of Poseidon, the 'Emperor of the Sea'."

"And just like that mermaid princess, Princess White Star seems to have the potential to become the current 'Emperor of the Sea' Poseidon."

"Another Poseidon, the 'Emperor of the Sea', is born. If this news is known by the world government, it will definitely not be good news for Fish-Man Island. After all, that Poseidon, the 'Emperor of the Sea' , she is not on the same side as the World Government, and she is even the World Government’s great enemy.”

"If the world government knows that Shirahoshi is the current 'Emperor of the Sea' Poseidon, they will definitely get rid of Shirahoshi before she awakens..."

When Robin finished speaking.

Neptune's face was already livid.

What Robin said, as the king of the fish-men clan, he didn't know.

According to a legend that only circulates among the royal family of Fish-Man Island.

Every few hundred years, a mermaid princess who can summon sea kings will appear on the fish-man island, bringing huge changes to the mermaid clan and even the entire world.

Poseidon, the "Emperor of the Sea" who was previously known as one of the three ancient weapons, was the mermaid princess at that time.

This point is clearly recorded in the secret history of the Royal Family of Fish-Man Island.

And Shirahoshi may have the qualifications to summon Neptune.

When Shirahoshi, who was only 6 years old, cried out in desperation when he witnessed himself being attacked, he accidentally called the Neptune to the scene, scaring the Celestial Dragon to the point where he foamed at the mouth and fainted, and when he rescued Princess Otohime, Neptune had already speculated.

Neptune even suspected that the reason why Vander Deken IX started to pursue Shirahoshi, who was only 6 years old, might be because he guessed something from that scene.

After all, it seems that the ancestors of Vander Deken IX came to the bottom of the sea in pursuit of the legendary mermaid princess who even obeyed orders from sea kings.
