I can only achieve nothing and become the Pirate King.

Chapter 667 You Forced Me to Choose

"Ahhh! Lord Sharkstar Prince!"

"The exotic prince is always so charming! Your Highness Shark Star! Look at me!!"

In the neon-lit hall, everyone from middle-aged women to young girls were fascinated and screaming at Shark Star who appeared in the center of the T-stage. Even though he just walked around the T-stage, some people ordered a large number of gifts to give to him.

The rich woman was holding something in her hand, as if she was holding a steel wool, and she was brushing the fish tail on the lower half of Shark Star's body with her eyes, trying to scrape off all his scales.

The penniless girl stared at Shark Star's handsome face with stars in her eyes, and exchanged her saved money for gifts of wine that were cheap in the outside world but extremely expensive here.

This place is the Nujiao White Horse Club located in O'Hara's entertainment street. It is also a leader among male model clubs. Especially after the appearance of the Mermaid Prince, this place has been elevated to a holy place in the minds of women.

Every night, a large number of women come to admire Prince Shark Star's bravery and beauty. Although Shark Star cannot be invited to accompany them due to financial constraints, the other male models in this club are of very good quality.

As for Prince Shark Star, he will only accompany one guest every night, and the one with the highest bid wins!

To some extent, this is also a disguised form of "slave trade", but Shark Star does not think so. Instead, he believes that he is working and exchanging his own value for his labor.

After walking around the catwalk, Shark Star returned to the backstage amid the cheers of the crowd. However, before he entered his room, Yushiro, dressed in Wano Country clothes and looking like a nobleman, was already waiting there.

"Your people are looking for you, but unfortunately, they are fishmen, not mermaids. Otherwise, you could come to work for me." Yushilang looked regretful.

It's not like he hadn't thought about recruiting more mermaids to work here, opening another 'Mermaid Prince' branch here to increase its popularity.

But except for Shark Star, the other mermaids don't seem to want to work here. They prefer to be in the sea and accept the orders of the Governor.

He would never dare and could not complain about the Governor. Fortunately, Shark Star had not thought about leaving, and Yu Si Lang kept improving Shark Star's treatment, trying to tie him up in this club.

"Clansman?"

Shark Star frowned slightly, but without waiting for him to think, after entering, he saw a fishman bowing to him.

Shark fish man.

"Your Highness."

Just as the fishman was about to speak, Shark Star stopped him and said to Yusilang, "Master Yusilang, can you please go out for a while?"

"Talk slowly."

Yusilang retreated with a smile on his face. After closing the door, he didn't even bother to ask around. He really stood at the exit and lit a cigarette.

But there was still some sadness between his brows.

Tribesmen like this have come to look for Shark Star many times during this period. Every time they appear, Shark Star's face will become a little gloomy, which makes Yushilang very worried.

In addition to being afraid that his departure would affect the business, they had also become friends during the time they had spent together. They all came from foreign countries to pursue their dreams and make a living, and if Shark Star had any difficulties, he would also like to help.

Being the king of gigolos is his dream, but that doesn't mean he is no longer a warrior.

"Your Highness, another member of our clan has been captured."

When the shark man saw the door was closed, he said directly: "Although we were rescued, we can no longer stay on the island where we were captured. The local people are alienated from us, so we have no choice but to leave."

Shark Star sighed, "The Governor is already managing it. At least they have no problem with us. Our sudden landing makes humans uncomfortable, and so do we. We all need to be patient. As long as time goes by, we will definitely be able to live in harmony with humans."

The incident of the fishman being caught was not a single incident.

Among them, there were some fishmen who used their own military power to bully ordinary people and were punished according to law.

There are also humans who become greedy and want to capture the mermen for money, or simply use them as slaves.

No matter which aspect, the governor is impartial and punishes whoever is wrong.

However, the gap created between them cannot be eliminated by punishment.

After Shark Star spent some time in human society, he increasingly realized that his previous radical ideas were not feasible. It was rare for someone in a high position and with great prestige to be willing to accept them, so he had to tolerate some small things.

Perhaps decades later, when Fishman Island is completely integrated into O'Hara and the local people accept their existence and it becomes a custom, they will no longer be afraid of being driven out because of Sag's death and their status plummeting, but will truly become a part of O'Hara.

Therefore, some sacrifices are inevitable. He cannot give up living in O'Hara because of what happened to his tribesmen. This should be the situation where they have the best chance of being stationed on the sea at present.

"Your Highness, I don't mean to say that I can't bear it. We know your painstaking efforts. You have committed yourself to coming here, but, but."

The shark man gritted his teeth, looking aggrieved.

Shark Star felt good in the club, but those fish people who had been working outside for a long time knew what a club was. Their eldest prince, the heir to the future kingdom, was actually being watched like a pet here and being insulted at will with money.

There was already resentment among them about this matter. No matter how King Neptune explained it, or how the Shark Star Prince thought he was doing the right work, in their eyes, it was still an insult. Moreover, there had been too many incidents recently.

Why treat them differently?

Why can others do business with local humans while they are not only guarded against but also captured as slaves?
"This is really too much!"

The shark fishman shouted: "Vattel just lost his temper. He didn't intend to do that. Why did he only target us fishmen?"

The fishman named Wattl is one of the fishmen who recently came to the sea surface from the Fishman Island due to the propaganda of the first thousand fishmen and wanted to live together with humans.

He has a hot temper. I can't say he hates humans, but he definitely doesn't like them.

The lower blocks of Fishman Island are all like this. Because of the propaganda in the early years and the fact that they often heard that their fellow tribesmen would be captured, they definitely have no good feelings towards humans.

The emergence of Sage can only alleviate this attitude but cannot completely eliminate it.

This resulted in some fishmen being cautious when they came ashore, like Wattel being one of them.

Generally, people like this need to be treated better than ordinary people to make them feel warm, and then gradually let down their guard, so that they can be understood and tolerated, and eventually integrate into human society.

But the key point is that Sarge doesn't care at all, so Lily's orders are all treated equally. In addition, the people under the Scourge are somewhat different. Because the local rulers have just been dealt with, each of them nominally belongs to Sarge's side, so when they meet the fishmen, naturally some people can't suppress their true feelings.

Murlocs despise humans, but humans also despise murlocs.

Want to buy something?

Not for sale.

Want to eat?
Not welcome.

The fish-men are savages of the sea, they can eat fish and such by themselves, and their human food is only for humans.

Some hot-tempered and cautious fishmen were ignited by this attitude. Wattel was a typical example. As a fishman, his strength was naturally much stronger than that of ordinary people.

then
Then he was executed.

After paying the price of a village being destroyed and several people being killed.

This incident caused a serious rift between the island and the fish people, and everyone thought they were right.

Humans think that mermen are hateful, and mermen think that humans are hateful. This matter has no end and is difficult to resolve.

After learning about this, the fishmen recruited by Sarge had no solution.

Finally, someone had an idea and followed the example of the Mink Tribe and simply became a retainer of the Governor. This way they had an identity and would not be discriminated against.

Of course, this also caused some fishmen to strongly oppose it.

They came to enjoy life on the sea, not to serve anyone. Even Neptune was not convinced by the lower neighborhoods of Fishman Island, so how could they be convinced by a human?

Now this shark man is one of the representatives, but he is a moderate and still recognizes the royal family, so he came to Shark Star to discuss.

"Your Highness, many fishmen are waiting for you to make a decision." The shark fishman said: "I hope you..."

"What decision do you want me to make?"

Before he could finish his words, Shark Star interrupted him: "Will you wait for me to call on all the fishmen to disobey Sarge's orders and attack the O'Hara Palace? Or will you wait for me to make the decision to become Sarge's retainer, so that you will have an excuse, and then you can form your own team and attack the O'Hara Palace?"

Shark Star sighed: "You come here again and again, and you complain to me every time. Why can't you understand? O'Hara is not ours, it belongs to Sarge. We only entered O'Hara with his permission. He needs our strength, but it doesn't mean we are the masters of O'Hara."

"O'Hara has only one master, only Sarge."

The shark looked at him and said, "I really don't want to see my kind become corpses. Your ideas are useless."

He patted the fishman on the shoulder and said, "It's not easy for us to find a place that tolerates you. Don't move. If it really comes to that, I can only clean you up in advance."

It would be better to die at the hands of their own people, otherwise if Sag ordered a purge, it would be even more difficult for them to integrate into the situation.

Knock knock knock.
Just as he finished speaking, there was a knock on the door, then the knock became louder, followed by a sudden push. Yushiro came forward with a panicked and excited look on his face, a Den Den Mushi in his hand.

"The Governor is the Governor! The Governor called, Shark Star, the Governor wants to see you!"

"understood."

Shark Star nodded heavily and took a long breath, "It seems that we have reached the point where we have to make a decision. This is also caused by you. Originally, I didn't have to make a choice. I don't want to be a retainer, but now there is no other way."
