The pirates sat and forgot, and they really believed the nine truths and one lie.

With the perfect connection of the front and back halves of the Grand Line, ships no longer have to go deep into the seabed below 10,000 meters. As long as they pay tolls to the navy, they can pass through the Red Earth Continent Hole without any risk.

The risks have been reduced exponentially, and maritime trade is gradually showing signs of prosperity. The Chabaoti Archipelago is expanding rapidly, but it still cannot meet commercial needs. There are too many people who want to do business in this area.

Both the underworld and the white world want to gain a foothold in the new Sabaody Archipelago. The Admiral of the Navy has not made a mistake in his vision. This archipelago has unlimited potential in the future and will become a transit station on the greatest Grand Route.

With ships coming and going every day, the consumption of alcohol and beverages alone is an astronomical figure, which brings good tax revenue to the navy, making the navy pay more and more attention to this area.

It is only natural to get things done for money, otherwise the taxes on the Sabaody Archipelago would be paid in vain. The navy is punishing those who do not follow the rules and has not deliberately captured pirates on the island.

As long as they don't kill people or cause trouble on the island, criminals or pirates can just land on the archipelago and enjoy the island's services as free men, squeezing out every gold coin in their pockets.

If everyone can be happy, then it is very likely that some people will pay a price for it, and the increase and decrease of some people conforms to the law of facts.

The once bustling Fishman Island suddenly saw 99% fewer ships arriving. No life holes had been seen here for several days, and the sudden change was difficult for most mermaids to accept.

The good news is that mermaids and mermen no longer have to worry about being captured by pirates and enslaved. From now on, they can live freely in the sea and lead the unrestrained life they want.

The bad news is that without the arrival of the pirates, the economy of Fishman Island would be in a slump, and the loss of its largest source of income would cause life to become difficult for many fish. The previous life of being the center of attention would gradually return to peace.

Without the arrival of pirates, the fishmen of Fishman Street were of course very happy, but they soon tasted the bitter fruit. No one had any income, so who should these ruffians ask for money?

The mermaid sisters all live a tight life. Although they don't have to worry about food and drink every day, they don't have much spare money when they want to buy some items, let alone have extra money to pay protection fees.

Many Pisces once embraced the idea of ​​expelling foreigners, and now it has been perfectly realized. The drawbacks and economic pains that have emerged have made this group of dreamers who can only talk extremely uncomfortable.

Because they finally understood that the prosperity of Fishman Island was not created by the fishmen themselves, but was brought by outsiders with their extraordinary adventurous spirit. Only at this moment did they realize this. Many fish were extremely painful and hoped that the ruling class of Fishman Island could do more.

The navy warship wrapped in a coating sank into the sea. It was the only foreign ship that appeared in recent days, attracting the residents of Fishman Island to stop and watch. They were curious about who the navy would send and the purpose of these foreigners coming here.

"It's indeed not a pirate ship. Only the navy will dive into the sea to perform official duties. How can we live in Fishman Island?"!

"We won't starve to death even if we eat plants from the sea every day, but life under the sea is a bit boring."

"I really want to swim to the surface of the sea and see what the newspaper said about the Red Earth Continent Hollow."

The mermaids who stayed here to watch the fun gathered together and discussed the future. Each mermaid had her own little thoughts.

The navy's warship was approaching the Fishman Island, and the person getting off the warship was not a foreigner. He was a navy admiral wearing a cloak of justice, but had the features of fish-man on his face. It was none other than Hoshigaki Kisame.

The mermaids of the fish-men following Admiral Kaitora recognized him on the spot as the chivalrous sea knight Jinbei. The former Shichibukai was no longer wearing his prison uniform, but his usual formal attire, indicating that the navy had given him back his freedom.

After the two strongest fishmen got off the ship, they were followed by a group of fishman navy. This time, they had the help of the admiral of the navy and ostensibly went back to Fishman Island to perform official duties, but in essence it was the same as going home. They soon dispersed and returned to their homes, and even received a salary similar to that of a vacation.

Kisame and Jinbe were personally received by Princess Otohime, who led the two fish-men into the royal court. They had a very pleasant conversation along the way. After all, they all came from Fish-man Island and had an inseparable attachment to their hometown.

Jinbei, who has escaped from prison, knows that freedom is precious. He has already thought about retiring and does not want to get involved in the disputes outside Fishman Island anymore. He wants to follow Princess Otohime's wishes and choose a place to live in seclusion on the island.

When he has nothing to do, he can at most teach the princes some fish-man karate so that the three princes can protect themselves. Jinbei is not worried about Princess Shirahoshi's safety now. He is often accompanied by special fish-men, and no one can match him in terms of security capabilities.

It was the first time that Hoshigaki Kisame met SpongeBob SquarePants, Patrick, and Squidward, three fish-men who possessed the abilities of nature-type devil fruits. He could even smell a familiar scent on them.

The three of them are almost the fishman versions of the third admiral of the navy. Both in terms of ability and personality, they make Admiral Black Tiger a little overwhelmed. The monsters created by Caesar Kulang are really interesting.

"The Admiral is a kind person. She sent you two here to show her sincerity. The royal court needs to discuss her request with all the fishmen. I can't give you a reply in the next few days."

The Admiral of the Navy wants to win over Fishman Island, and the benefit he offers is to carve out a piece of land on the Sabaody Archipelago. Currently, this piece of land has not appeared and requires subsequent land reclamation to be completed.

The mermen and mermaids can live in this specific area, do business with foreign tribes in the Sabaody Archipelago, and engage in whatever entertainment projects they want. The navy will provide personal protection in the periphery and prohibit the slave trade from the source.

Artoria Pendragon wants to use subtle political means to bring Fishman Island into her ruling sphere, allowing the alien residents living here to gradually integrate into mainstream society as they have more contact with humans, thus reversing the mainstream society's curiosity.

Princess Otohime currently holds the reins of power over Fishman Island. Her husband has retreated behind the scenes, and the mermaid is the de facto king of Fishman Island. She has the final say on all matters big or small on the island.

Promoting mutual trust between races and promoting equal contact between the two races is Princess Otohime's lifelong dream. She has died once, but the mermaid has not given up her ideals.

She wants all the people on the island to live a happy life. The World Government is already in a semi-paralyzed state. Now the only one who has the final say on the sea is the navy. Fishman Island must prepare for its future.

The end of the great event in the holy land of Marijoa means that the direction of the world is becoming more uncontrollable. Princess Otohime feels great pressure on how to preserve her people in the torrent of history.

The prophecy of doom she heard from the mermaid Lady Shirley and the nightmares Princess Shirahoshi has been having recently have made Princess Otohime unable to sleep for some time. She lies beside her husband with all sorts of wild thoughts in her mind.

Not only is the World Government looking for Fishman Arlong, but Fishman Island is also looking for Mrs. Shirley's brother Fishman Arlong.
