Pirates: I'll be with the Straw Hat Pirates in my old age

The return journey continued, and the naval pursuit was no longer seen.

The Sun Pirates returned safely to Fishman Island.

"Wow, this is Fishman Island?"

"What a tall tree!" Yun Yi looked at the tree above the big bubble in amazement.

"This is called the Sun Tree Eve. It is the tree that transmits the sunlight to Fishman Island. Because of this, the residents of the entire Fishman Island can feel the sunlight above the sea, so we call it 'The Sun's Blessing'."

Listening to Tiger's popular science, Yun Yi once again felt like Granny Liu entering the Grand View Garden.

"Brother Tiger! Brother Jinbei! Brother Arlong..."

"Strange, why is Brother Tiger bringing a human child?"

"Maybe he picked it up on the road. Oh, it doesn't matter. It's just a child. We are the noble fish-men race."

Before entering Fishman Island, we saw countless fishmen and mermaids gathered together, enthusiastically welcoming the fishmen of the pirate group.

"Uncle Tiger, it seems that you have great prestige in Fishman Island!"

"This is not good news."

The more fish-men welcome the members of the Sun Pirates, the more fish-men are unwilling to live in peace with humans.

Whether it is those fishmen in the Fishman Street who discriminate against humans, or those fishmen who want to fear humans.

These are all obstacles to peaceful coexistence between humans and fish people.

"Let's go to the Dragon Palace first." Tiger pointed at the most luxurious building on Fishman Island and said, "If you want to realize your plan, you have to go find Princess Otohime first."

"it is good!"

Yun Yi looked at the Dragon Palace in the distance.

Is she Princess Otohime, the one who advocates peace among mermaids and possesses a super-strong Observation Haki who can read people's inner emotions?

……

"Respected King of the Mermaids, Neptune; Respected Princess of the Mermaids."

"Hello, my name is Yun Yi."

"Today, I carry the goodwill of humanity and the intention of peace."

"Please listen carefully to my plan. It will be of great help to the future of the entire Fishman Island."

"Ahem..." Tiger coughed awkwardly.

"that…"

"Don't make any noise, I'm brewing!"

Yun Yi coldly interrupted Tiger's voice, and then continued to immerse himself in his own world.

"This is my first time meeting the king. I must act classy and not let him look down on the people of our Great Foodie Country."

"My name is Yun Yi, I am with the navy... No, I am with Peace... That's not good either..."

While Yun Yi was still considering his words, the huge merman king Neptune and Princess Otohime had quietly appeared in front of Yun Yi.

The observation Haki quietly unfolded, and a soul that was pure enough without any evil thoughts suddenly appeared in the eyes of Princess Otohime.

"Damn, a tall fish... a mermaid?"

"Mermaid? Princess Otohime!" Yun Yi stared blankly at the two figures in front of him.

"Hello, kind-hearted human child, welcome to the beautiful Fishman Island."

Princess Yiji happily came to Yun Yi, stretched out her hands and embraced the little Yun Yi in her arms.

She has seen the hearts of many people, some kind, some ugly, and even some indescribable.

But she had never seen such a pure human being.

At this moment, Princess Otohime felt that the career she had always been pursuing seemed to finally see the light of day.

"Princess Otohime, this time I went out, I realized something. Maybe your idea is right."

"But we should be working in the wrong direction. We should be working on those children who know nothing."

"They are the only ones who are the future of our Fishman Island."

Thinking of the innocent and lovely Kella, and Yun Yi who risked his life to save the merman, Tiger's voice unconsciously became gentle.

"So, Princess Otohime, please allow me to work with you to change the current Fishman Island." Tiger said sincerely.

at the same time…

"Wuwuwu... So Princess Otohime, go ahead and convince your people."

"I, Yun Yi, will block the wind and waves on the sea for you."

Yun Yi, who was in his arms, spoke with difficulty.

……

"I'm sorry, I can't agree with Princess Yiji's opinion." Yun Yi shook his head and refused.

No one knew how long the discussion on Fishman Island had been going on, and no one was able to convince anyone else.

"Peace is worth pursuing, but hatred must never be diluted. You will only place the hope of peace on Fishman Island in the hands of others."

"Although Fishman Island will live under my protection in the future, I don't think this is a reason for you to completely abandon the past."

"So in addition to guiding the merman children to yearn for peace, I think you should also teach them to remember history."

"Some people always have to atone for their sins." Yun Yi said with a firm expression, "For example, the Tianlong people."

“That’s what I think.”

"But, won't it still be impossible to live in peace like this?" Princess Otohime said worriedly.

"One day, the fishmen full of hatred will finally attack Marijoa, and war will still happen."

"Why let hatred continue? Isn't it better to forget it?"

Forget the hatred? No way.

"Princess, unless you can completely resolve the hatred in your generation, the history of being a slave will continue in your children."

"As long as the Celestial Dragons are not destroyed, or this evil regime, the largest slave owner in the ocean, does not disappear, there will always be people who continue to go to Fish-Man Island to hunt fish-men and send them to the Celestial Dragons as slaves."

"In the eyes of the Celestial Dragons, you will never have the opportunity to communicate on an equal footing. The desperate criminals on the sea will always regard you as walking Baileys."

"Humiliation can only be washed away with blood."

"My country taught me that only by remembering hatred can we strive to become stronger."

"Blood debts can only be repaid with blood, there is no doubt about that."

Looking at the three fishmen who were lost in thought, a smile suddenly appeared on Yun Yi's lips.

"Let me tell you a story."

"My country was once invaded by foreigners."

"In that war, the number of people we lost was enough to fill the entire Fishman Island. At that time, we even thought that our country would be destroyed because of this."

"Afterwards, under the leadership of our great leader, we successfully drove away the invaders. However, we did not become complacent."

"For some reason, we have not been able to fight back. So, we recorded our past shame in books and passed it on to our descendants."

"We love peace, but we also firmly believe that one day, we will make our enemies pay with blood."

"So, all you need to teach your children is not to hate all humans. I have no objection to you taking revenge on your enemies."

Princess Otohime fell into deep thought, her inner struggle continuing.

Because she hates war and hopes that the fishmen can truly live under the sun, she keeps begging the fishmen to accept humans, or begging humans to accept Fishman Island.

But now, everything seems to be hopeful, why does she still feel sad?

"Princess Otohime, you will not achieve peace by simply asking for it. Only strength is the real bargaining chip in a peaceful dialogue."

"The fishmen you want to protect can only truly gain a foothold in this sea if they have the strength to protect themselves."

On the other side, listening quietly to Yun Yi's thoughts, Tiger suddenly felt as if the clouds were clearing and the sun was shining.

He has a devil in his heart, but now Yun Yi tells him that this is not a bad thing.

"Of course, don't hold extreme beliefs about racial superiority."

"Otherwise, you fishmen will suffer a great loss."

After taking a look at the excited Tiger, Yun Yi quickly gave him an injection of sedative.

Uncle Tiger, you know, this is really scary.

Yun Yi thought to himself.

At this moment, Neptune, who had been sitting quietly on the throne, suddenly spoke.

"I agree with what Brother Yun Yi said."

"Hatred cannot be forgotten. Only hatred can motivate the fishmen of Fishman Island to the greatest extent."

"Our Fishman Island is really too weak."

As a king, Neptune saw not only the hatred between the mermaids, but also the weakness of Fish-Man Island.

Otherwise, they wouldn't be so passive.

"But there is no time for us to teach the next generation." Neptune said worriedly.

"The hatred keeps accumulating, and there is no time to adjust the relationship between fishmen and humans."

"It's okay. You just need to work hard to reform your Fishman Island. As for matters outside the sea, including how to make humans realize the kindness of fishmen, leave it to me and the Sun Pirates."

"A dozen years should be enough time for you to change everything on Fishman Island."

"So, I will protect your Fishman Island for ten years. After ten years, you should have the strength to protect Fishman Island by yourselves."

Well…even though I have Tiger’s guarantee, it is hard to imagine that with a small body of only 1.3 meters.

"Oh, I forgot to tell you that although you hate the Celestial Dragons, when you don't have real strength, the first thing you need to learn is to lie dormant."

"The Celestial Dragons, after all, hold the most powerful force in this ocean."

"Then we..." Tiger hesitated.

"Um... So, my idea is, don't be so naive as to let some fool go hunting the Celestial Dragons."

"Wait for the right time. One day, you will have a real chance to seek revenge."

"Then, head to the land openly."

……

No one knows what happened next during the palace negotiations.

However, when Tiger appeared on Yuman Street again.

But it is no longer as popular as before.

"Brother Tiger, why do you even say such things?"

"Why should we submit to a human? We fishmen are the greatest beings in this world."

"Brother Tiger, have you also forgotten about those captured fishmen?"
