One Piece: The Glory of the Murloc

The final finishing touches were quickly completed.

This time the war can only be described as crushing. Tens of thousands of pirates were killed, but Bright only suffered less than a hundred casualties, and most of them were just injured. The number of people who unfortunately died in the battle will be two. number of digits.

In this deep sea, the fish people's advantage is really great.

It was a great morale booster to receive such a victory not long after officially starting work.

At least the fish people were very excited.

However, Brett felt a little pity.

Although the battle losses were small and pitiful, some fishmen died in the battle after all.

Brett knew this was war, but he felt a little uncomfortable when he thought that the compatriots who had called his name with respect before had now turned into cold corpses.

You still have to become stronger.

Both himself and the soldiers.

Only by becoming stronger can we avoid losing.

In this way, with the merchants who came from afar, the victorious army began to return.

The merchant fleet was surrounded by fish-men warriors and sea beasts, and the merchants were very scared.

Huge monsters and murderous murlocs surrounded them. Although they have decided to cooperate now, this is definitely not a good experience.

Fortunately, Fishman Island arrived soon.

The soldiers stationed at the gate instantly became excited when they saw their returning comrades.

"They're back!!"

"Did we win? Did we win?"

"Of course we won! Aren't Brother Bright and Brother Jinbe standing on the head of the sea beast?"

Cheering and jumping for joy, the soldiers stepped forward to welcome their comrades who had returned from victory.

"What does it look like? You are guarding the gateway to this country!"

Bright, standing at the front of the queue on top of the sea beast, shouted loudly, "Now perform your duties well!"

The excited soldiers stopped moving and fell silent.

Then Brett curled his lips and said, "If you really want to celebrate, you have to wait until tonight."

The fish people were stunned.

Then.

"Long live Brother Brett!!"

"It's the director! Long live the director!"

Cheers spread in the deep sea.

"Hahahaha, let's have some fun tonight!" Jinbei laughed.

"Of course!"

Aaron also nodded in agreement, "Today's victory proves that we are indeed a race superior to humans!"

Brett didn't even bother to talk to him.

"Hahaha, do you want to have a party?"

Laughter came from inside the gate, "I wonder if I can participate?"

Brett looked a little surprised at the huge figure floating out from behind the door, "Neptune?"

"I've been waiting for a long time!"

Neptune smiled and said, "Welcome to the victory, heroes of Fish-Man Island!"

"Hero?"

Brett shook his head, "This is really——"

He took a deep breath, then laughed, "You hear that? It's time to cheer, heroes!"

"oh!!!"

The cheers that could no longer be suppressed resounded throughout the deep sea.

"Later, remember to puff up your chest." Brett said with a smile.

Neptune personally welcomed the victorious soldiers back to Fish-Man Island.

After passing through the gate, the soldiers discovered that a large number of people from Fish-Man Island had gathered behind the gate. When they saw them coming back, the people also cheered.

They were welcoming the triumph of the warriors who protected them.

Respect, worship, cheer.

The soldiers who were gangsters in Fishman Street more than a month ago had never had such an experience.

They were even a little overwhelmed with excitement. It turns out that being admired by others is such an exciting experience?

Really not sure how to respond, then they puffed out their chests.

Now they are qualified to stand up, right?

Obviously I didn't get anything, but I felt I got a lot.

"What, this feeling..."

Aaron felt very uncomfortable and muttered under his breath. This was something he had never experienced before in his life.

But, it seems, not bad?

“It’s so popular!”

Following the soldiers into the boat on Fish-Man Island, Donald said in surprise, "Now, I have become a great hero protecting Fish-Man Island!"

"Is your name Bright, Mr. Director?" a businessman said, "It seems like he is the dominant one between the two of us!"

"Even King Neptune came to greet him!" Another businessman was also surprised, "The director's status on Fish-Man Island is much higher than we thought!"

"Doesn't this just mean that we have found the best partner?"

Donald was excited.

Wouldn’t it be better if the partner has a higher status in this country?

Tezzolo looked at the back of the fish-man named Bright from a distance, and he had only one feeling.

After Tiger and Jinbei, Fish-Man Island will probably have another great character.

Before celebrating, there is one more important thing to do.

Later, on the rooftop of the Entry and Exit Administration Bureau, a meeting between the top management of Fish-Man Island and human businessmen began.

As for why it was chosen to be on the rooftop rather than indoors, it was because there was no room in the building that could accommodate Neptune's stay.

The participants on the Fish-Man Island side were Bright, Jinbei, and Neptune, and on the human side, of course, were the businessmen headed by Donald.

"We have seen your sincerity."

Bright consciously assumed the responsibility of the chief spokesman. He said seriously, "Fish-Man Island does not welcome anyone with evil intentions, but it is never stingy with its friends."

Joy appeared on the faces of the businessmen.

Donald was even more happy, "Don't worry, Director Bright, we will always be good friends of Fish-Man Island."

As long as there is money to be made, who is willing to abandon such a good friend?

"great."

Brett said with a smile, "Then let's discuss the details of cooperation in detail."

Although it is a detail, there is actually nothing to discuss.

It's nothing more than some trade matters.

Next, merchants will deliver some necessary commodities to Fish-Man Island, and Fish-Man Island will provide high-quality and cheap ore.

The two parties discussed the price of the ore and finally decided on a price slightly lower than the average price.

The merchants were quite satisfied because the ore provided by Fishman Island was of high quality and could be sold at a high price.

Bright is also quite satisfied. Ore can be sold at a high price at sea. Mining on Fishman Island is even simpler. The average strength of fishman miners is ten times that of human beings. They can only use their skills to dig up the ore. To describe it, the efficiency is very high, the relative cost is very low, and the profits obtained are much higher than those of businessmen.

Bright even plans to catch a few more sea beasts later to help further reduce costs.

After the business was almost done, Donald once again made the request he had made before, "Mr. Bright, for the sake of our long-term cooperation, can you ask Fishman Island to send troops to escort us to and from the sea?"

Brett answered him, "I am happy to help my friends, but the duty of the soldiers on Fish-Man Island is to guard Fish-Man Island. I have no right to dispatch them to do things that are not related to their duties."

Donald was visibly depressed.

Then Brett smiled and said, "Unless, someone is willing to pay a commission."

Donald grimaced, "Mr. Bright, you really don't want to suffer at all."

He originally wanted to work as a free security guard.

but--

"That's not bad!"

Donald nodded heavily, "Let's discuss the amount of commission next."

Although it will further reduce profits, it is safe.

Donald is not afraid of gambling on luck, but he doesn’t want to gamble on luck all the time.

The deep sea cannot always be gentle to him.

With Donald taking the lead, the rest was easy to say, and the businessmen all chose to accept it.

At least this way, you can travel to and from Fish-Man Island safely.

However, Bright had no idea of ​​letting his soldiers escort them, as it would be overkill.

After that, discuss with Nipton to split off part of the army in Dragon Palace City, or simply recruit some people to form a new organization to do this specifically. After all, there should be many cooperative merchants in the future. It should also be a considerable amount of income.

At the end of the meeting, Bright also made his request.

"Mishman Island has been isolated from the sea world for a long time and far away from civilization, so I hope that when you bring various necessary commodities, you can also bring us supporting technology or machinery."

"this--"

Donald and others were stunned for a moment, and then Donald nodded hesitantly, "I can give it a try, but Mr. Bright, the things you want are very blocked in the sea, and it is difficult to get them based on our level." Easy, all I can say is try your best.”

is that so?

It seems true.

Brett immediately realized that the cutting-edge technology in this world is really cutting-edge, but the technologies that are actually popularized are still very backward.

Although there is a factor of inconvenient transportation and difficulty in distributing technology, it is difficult to say that there is no one behind the blockade.

"enough."

Brett nodded.

I didn’t seek too much in the first place. It was enough to reduce external dependence as much as possible.

The talks ended here, and both parties achieved a satisfactory result. Bright also invited the businessmen to attend the celebration banquet tonight.

The businessmen readily agreed.

Then, after sending the businessmen to the hotel to rest, a certain guy came back and reappeared in front of Bright.

"Mr. Tezzolo?"

Brett was a little surprised. What was this guy doing back here again?

"I'm here to discuss cooperation, Mr. Bright." Tezzolo said seriously.

Brett raised his eyebrows slightly, "As for cooperation, wasn't it already agreed just now?"

Tezzolo is of course an excellent partner. This guy will be the richest man in the world in the future.

But what makes Bright hesitate is that this guy is also a model of a dragon slayer who turned into a dragon, and later became a thing no different from the Celestial Dragon.

In the end, Bright decided to treat him as an ordinary collaborator and not involve him too much.

But I didn't expect this guy to come over again.

"I'm talking about more complete cooperation."

Tezzolo said seriously, "Those guys can't get any high-end technology, but I can. I can provide everything Fish-Man Island needs."

Brett had no doubts about his words. In a few years, this guy would build a golden city. Although he was still immature now, his methods were far beyond what Donald and others could match.

"So Tezzolo, what's the price?" Brett asked with interest.

Tezzolo was a little surprised. Didn't this guy question the fact that he was so bold?

He took a deep breath, and then said solemnly, "I think we can become solid allies."

"After all, we have the same enemy!"
