The Glory of the Pirates

Chapter 38 White Star
Neptune sat on the large sofa with his tail crossed angrily.

"Brett, it's better to be more polite when talking to Neptune."

Jinbe was a little embarrassed.

He and Neptune are old friends, and he was the boss of the Dragon Palace Army a long time ago.

Now that the person he supports collides with his old friend, he is really embarrassed.

"I did it to dispel the hesitation in King Neptune's heart."

Brett said seriously.

Neptune was taken aback.

"Change takes courage."

Bright said calmly, "Will change really bring good results? This is the fear that every changer will have when making a decision."

"Isn't it better to follow tradition? Before you really have nowhere to go, past experience will always be considered reasonable, until you hit your head against the wall."

"King Neptune, what I mean is," he said with a smile, "whether you like it or not, the change is about to begin!"

"..."

Neptune's eyes widened, his beard trembling.

Jinping rubbed his forehead helplessly. Although the truth is the same, can you say it another way?
Anyway, the man in front of me is also the king of this country.

"Brett, you boy—"

Neptune finally sighed, "Although they don't look like murlocs, the arrogance in their bones is indeed something that only murlocs can raise."

"Maybe Jinbe is right—"

He glanced at his old friend, and then nodded heavily, "Since this is the case, I can't be looked down upon, Brett, I will answer your request—"

"and many more!"

The tea room door was pushed open.

The slender woman came in lightly like a cloud.

Her face was full of seriousness.

"Otohime—didn't you go to give a speech at Gidekoron Square?"

Neptune felt a headache.

"The leftovers were thrown away just now..."

Her Royal Highness Princess of the Dragon Palace Kingdom immediately pursed her lips, and said with tearful grievances, "It's really too much to tell me not to go anymore..."

"That's why I've said it all. What happened last time hasn't passed yet. The people's impression of human beings has gotten worse." Neptune was helpless.

Every time, I would go out arrogantly, and then come back dejected and hide in the room alone crying.

"That's why I want to go!"

The fighting spirit of the concubine, who was depressed at first, became high in an instant, "I can't let the hatred continue to deepen!"

Neptune covered his face with his hands.

Didn't you ask for this?

"Princess Otome has not changed at all."

Jinbe laughed.

"Oh! It's Shiping!"

The princess greeted Jinping warmly, "Since you're here, let's go after dinner today, just so you can have a few more drinks with Neptune, don't look at this guy who always looks serious, but in fact I always complain that I don’t have any friends and I’m lonely.”

"Hey, Otohime—there's no need to talk about these things." King Neptune was embarrassed.

"Hahahaha, that would be disrespectful!" Jinbe laughed loudly.

Did I go to relatives with Jinbei-san? This strange atmosphere.

Brett twitched his lips.

Mermaid Otohime, what an amazing woman.

The emotions of Neptune and Big Brother Jinbe are changing with her.

"Then--"

Otohime turned her head and looked at Brett.

A bright smile appeared on her face, "I can feel it, what drives you is love and courage!"

"what?"

Brett froze for a moment.

What are you saying all of a sudden?
Love?
courage?

What is the setting of love comics?

Otohime walked over lightly and quickly, grabbed Brett's big hand with both hands, and said with a moved face, "I don't feel hatred or anger in your heart, only love for this island and the courage to change."

"It's great!" She almost cried out, "There are children like you on the island... Children like you are the future of Murloc Island!"

Brett withdrew his hand from her awkwardly, the princess was too emotional.

Just like a child.

but--

What a frightening sight!

Brett sighed inwardly.

Otohime has a natural domineering power of knowledge, and she can easily feel the emotions hidden in others' hearts.

Even, she can use her emotions to infect others to influence their will.

Should it be said that it is fortunate that she is a woman and a nice person?

"So, for the future of Murloc Island, King Neptune, you agreed to my request, right?" Bright said.

Neptune widened his eyes.

Great, completely ignored Otohime's noise!

"Wait a moment!"

The princess, who was crying before, regained her spirits, and she said loudly, "This is not acceptable! It will only block our limited communication with the human world! The Murloc Island is even further away from the world!"

"If we want to close the distance with the world, besides we take the initiative to lean in, we can also let the world lean in." Bright said calmly, "When the plan to dig seabed ore is gradually implemented, the entire human world will go crazy. Sometimes you don’t want to be in contact with humans.”

"That will only make Murloc Island more coveted!" The princess complained loudly.

You also know that Murloc Island is coveted by humans?
"So in order not to be coveted, it doesn't matter if we come into contact with humans, the key is that we have to become strong enough!"

Bright said seriously, "It's so powerful that human beings can't easily hurt us! After all, when we are hurt, do we still have to rely on the infighting of high-level human beings?"

"But wouldn't that intensify the confrontation between the two sides?"

"If I don't go to the mountain, I will go to the mountain! Human beings are profit-seeking, as long as there are enough interests, they can overcome even serious confrontations! But the premise is still that we are strong enough!"

"Wow! What a nasty statement! This way there is no way to integrate the Murloc Island into the sea world!"

"Become strong first, then talk about other things."

……

"Ah, what a disgusting little devil!!"

After a sharp exchange of words, the princess grabbed Brett's cheek in a frenzy and tore it.

Brett slapped her hand away.

Very annoying old aunt.

Jinbe and Neptune looked at each other and could only shake their heads helplessly.

Brett didn't know why, but out of nowhere, he quarreled with Otohime.

It wasn't until after the quarrel was over that he realized belatedly, was he being coerced by Otohime's emotions?
Terrible knowledge!
"Alright Otohime,"

Neptune finally stood up, "I think what Brett said is right, let's decide this matter, let him take the lead in forming an agency to review incoming and outgoing ships. I want to contact humans, but before that, I still need to Let's keep ourselves safe."

Brett breathed a sigh of relief.

Neptune is okay, but Otohime is really annoying.

After hearing her husband's decision, the princess covered her face with her hands and twitched her shoulders.

"Hello—Otohime—" Neptune was instantly sweating profusely.

Are you crying again?

"so happy!"

The princess moved her hand away, with a bright smile on her face, "There are children like you on the island! I didn't think about walking down like this, I didn't get carried away by anger and only thought about revenge, I was really thinking about it." Let this island, make our community better!"

"I'm really, really happy."

Brett couldn't help chuckling too.

It doesn't matter if you call her a virgin, or she is naive and stupid.

It is undeniable that she, like Big Brother Tiger, hoped until the last moment of her life that the children of Fishman Island would not live in a world full of discrimination and persecution.

"Princess Otohime, my name is Brett." Brett introduced himself seriously.

"Hello, Brett."

The princess smiled and said, "Let's talk about seabed minerals next? Can that really attract many humans?"

With his own limited knowledge, Brett popularized the richness of seabed minerals and the convenience of fishman island mining.

"Oh! That is to say, as long as we can provide high-quality and cheap minerals, humans will flock here?"

Princess Otohime said excitedly, "That's great! In this case, maybe we can talk to the high-level human beings!"

Brett twitched at the corner of his mouth, but didn't say anything.

"But it's dangerous."

Neptune was a little worried, "Humans are not the kind of creatures that will abide by business rules in the face of amazing benefits."

"This is what the establishment of the Exit-Entry Administration is all about!"

Bright said seriously, "Let's deal with this matter."

"That's what it means!" Jinbei also nodded with a smile.

"Really, it's so reliable! Brett! And Shipin!"

The princess's eyes were shining brightly, and her nose was so moved.

Brett turned his face away, really didn't want to admit that when he was a child, he had a good impression of this aunt who always gave out snacks to the children.

"Then please!"

Neptune said solemnly, "In contrast, the exploration and excavation will be handled by Dragon Palace City!"

At this time, Bright said, "It takes a lot of manpower to mine ore. I hope that these manpower can be selected from Murloc Street first."

Murloc Street is too poor.

There are hundreds of thousands of people, and there are also hundreds of thousands of people without jobs.

Poverty breeds violence and crime.

Although mining workers are by no means a good job, at least they are a means of making a living, right?
Neptune froze for a moment, then he laughed out loud, "Of course there is no problem!"

"Let's announce its establishment today! Fishman Island Mining Company! Property rights belong to all Fishman Island citizens!"

His Majesty the King was in high spirits.

Change starts today.

Later, in the banquet hall of Dragon Palace City, a lively banquet was held.

Bright and Jinbe, who had been talking in the tea room for an afternoon, entered here led by Neptune and Otohime.

It just so happened that the princes and little princesses of this country also arrived under the escort of their attendants.

"mom!"

Brett watched the huge little girl rush towards Princess Otohime with a smile on her face.

Pink hair, round eyes, round face.

Princess Shirahoshi.

Brett frowned.

She is the biggest support of murlocs and mermaids.

"Bai Xing! Mom's good boy! Mom misses you so much!"

Otohime sobbed and rushed towards her daughter.

I haven't seen you for a day.

Are you so excited?

then.

puff.

Bai Xing fell to the ground.

Throwing her slender mother to the ground.

"Forehead!!"

Princess Otohime snorted, "The bone is broken——"

You are too fragile.

　Thanks for the [-]-point reward from the big guy 'Can I add more', and thank you to the [-]-point reward from the big guy 'Xiao Chen', thank you!
