One Piece: God Killer

Chapter 157 Now we can talk about the future of Fish-Man Island

Princess Otohime suffered an unprecedented blow.

Subconsciously, she didn't want to believe what Profic said, but her rationality reminded her that Profic was not an alarmist. Once Fish-Man Island loses the protection of the 10,000-meter deep sea, such a thing is likely to happen.

What can she do then? Otohime realizes to her despair that there may be nothing she can do.

But what should she do?

Should we just give up on our dream of moving to land? Otohime was unwilling to give in, but she couldn't think of a better way.

Looking at the lost Otohime and Neptune, Profik stood up to say goodbye and led his companions out of Ryugu Castle. Otohime and Neptune were naturally not in the mood to stay at this time, and they needed more time to digest it.

"I heard that 'too much is too much,'" Morana asked Profik quietly as soon as he walked out of Ryugu Castle, "Is the medicine you gave Princess Otohime a little too strong?"

Before coming to Ryugu Castle, Profic told his companions that he wanted to scare Princess Otohime for future cooperation. However, this is a bit too scary, isn't it? The goldfish and fish man seems to have lost his soul...

"No, this is just right!"

Princess Otohime is determined, and it is much more difficult to get her to change her attitude than to influence Tiger. It is useless to talk directly about the theory. She must be scared first and truly realize that there is no future in wishful thinking and unilaterally improving relations with humans.

Matifa asked: "Brother, where should we go next?"

"I want to go back to Fishman Street," Profik arranged. "Everyone can go shopping on Fishman Island. If you have anything you want to buy, you can also go to the Beaver to get money. But be sure to go back as soon as possible. To Fishman Street.”

Then, he specifically reminded Brooke: "Also, you perverted skeleton, remember to be respectful!"

If this guy wants to see Miss Fishman's underwear later and is thrown out of Fishman Island, Profic will not intercede for him.

The reason why Profik wanted to return to Fishman Street and warned the rest of his companions to return as soon as possible was because he was sure that it wouldn't be long before Otohime and Neptune would send people to look for him again.

The words Profik said at the banquet were intended to make the decision-makers of the Dragon Palace Kingdom feel the severity of the situation and the cruelty of reality, thereby breaking their unrealistic illusions. And the reason why he was so sure that Neptune and Otohime would find him again was because Profik believed that Princess Otohime would never give up easily on the ideal of fishmen and humans living in harmony.

At that time, Profic can naturally propose cooperation and bring the Dragon Palace Kingdom and the entire Fishman Island to his side.

His approach is a bit like the counselors in ancient times. He would first say "big fish in the sea" or "you are not going to die soon", and then wait for the other party to "please teach me." This routine seems old-fashioned, but it is still very practical.

No, maybe in the world of One Piece where you can use force but rarely use words, this routine is still considered novel.

……

As expected by Profik, after he returned to Fishman Street, "major" changes took place on Fishman Island.

Specifically, Princess Otohime, who had been giving speeches around Fish-Man Island every day to collect signatures to voluntarily move to land, did not show up for two consecutive days. This change has even caused concern among many residents of Fishman Island. Although they are not interested in moving to land, they are not optimistic about Princess Otohime's approach.

However, the residents of Fishman Island's love for Princess Otohime is not fake. Her absence for two days made many people very worried. It wasn't until King Neptune personally came forward to refute the rumors and ensure that there was nothing wrong with Princess Otohime's health that the turmoil was calmed down.

Three days after Profic and others entered Ryugu Castle for the first time, Jinbei, who served as the captain of the "Sea King Army", brought news about King Neptune.

"King Neptune invites you all to visit Dragon Palace City again."

Entering Dragon Palace City again, the atmosphere was very different from last time.

King Neptune sat on a specially made huge throne, showing a complicated expression. Princess Otohime sat on one side, looking even more haggard than when they last met. Obviously, she was not idle during these three days.

Although many dishes were still prepared, the banquet hall was obviously much deserted than last time. Only Otohime and Neptune attended the banquet from the Ryugu Kingdom. The dishes were laid out in advance. There were no waiters or guards, and even the left and right ministers who were deeply trusted by Neptune did not show up.

This arrangement is based on the fact that Profic is likely to say something that is not suitable to be heard.

It was Princess Otohime who spoke first to break the silence. As expected by Profek, Neptune and Otohime thought a lot after the last banquet.

Neptune has a deeper understanding of the history and legends of Fish-Man Island. He knows that the time for the arrival of the legendary mermaid princess "Sea King" that "occurs once in hundreds of years" is getting closer and closer. Even if his wife gives birth to a girl, there is a high possibility that she will be Neptune. Therefore, Neptune backed down and expressed his intention to continue dormant on the seabed.

But Otohime was unwilling to give up, and she admitted that what Profek said made sense. But eight hundred years have passed since the "Blank Hundred Years", and the influence of history on the real world has gradually faded. It has also been nearly 10 years since the fish-men and mermaids were once again classified as "human beings" rather than "fish". Two hundred years.

If the relationship between Fish-Man Island and humans cannot be changed at this time, when will we wait? If you can't take the first step, who will start?

In the end, Otohime's point of view prevailed. Fish-Man Island cannot wait foolishly, but must take the initiative to make a difference.

But what to do specifically? Neptune lacks talent and has no ideas. Otohime once had a system of thought, but through the past few days of urgent inquiries about the similarities of more members of her race who had been in contact with humans, as well as her own reflections, she gradually realized that there were many problems with her original ideas.

Otohime and Neptune decided to ask Profik for his opinion on the future of Fishman Island.

"I was deeply shocked when I heard Mr. Profik's words in the banquet hall last time. But I am still unwilling to give up the long-cherished wish of Fish-Man Island to achieve friendship with humans..." Otohime said firmly, "I don't know about fish. Does Mr. Profic have any opinions on the future of Human Island?"

This was what Profik was waiting for.

"Your Highness Otohime, it seems you have thought a lot," Profik said in a deep voice, "Now we can talk about the future of Fishman Island."
