Pirates: Build a high wall from the East China Sea.

Chapter 425 Negotiation
"The eldest prince."

"?!"

Hearing someone calling him, Shark Star, who had returned to the accommodation arranged by the East China Sea Navy, came back to his senses. He looked up at Xiao Ba, who still looked a little weak, and said in surprise, "You're back?"

He paused slightly, but did not continue to ask what happened next. Since Xiao Ba came back, it meant that the matter had been resolved.

After hesitating for a moment, he looked at Xiao Ba, who only had two hands left, and said, "Do you need someone to take a look?"

"No need, it has already been bandaged simply, there will be no problem, Chief Xia Che showed mercy at the time."

"As for Chief Xia Che... I couldn't see him draw his sword at all. His swordsmanship might be no weaker than that of the world's greatest swordsman. He might even be stronger!" Shark Star also sighed with amazement and shock in his tone, "No wonder he still had to compromise after the World Government took action."

It seems that the strength of the East China Sea Navy leader is far beyond their imagination!
"The East China Sea Navy is stronger than the Four Emperors because it can make the World Government compromise. I heard about that war in the Sabaody Archipelago. There was a blinding light and explosions in the sky above the Holy Land of Marijoa. It seemed that it was attacked by some terrible weapon." Xiao Ba also nodded and said in a muffled voice, "And it happened many times in a row. Therefore, some people in the Sabaody Archipelago speculated that the East China Sea Navy must have some kind of weapon that the World Government fears, or even..."

He also paused, his tone filled with disbelief, "The legendary ancient weapon!"

"?!"

Ancient weapons...

When Shark Star heard Xiao Ba mention the words [ancient weapons], his pupils suddenly shrank, but then quickly returned to normal, as if nothing had happened.

"Of course, these are all speculations, and the navy stationed there doesn't allow anyone to talk about this matter. They also said that Marijoa has not been attacked, and everyone must be in awe of the holy land of Marijoa." Xiao Ba took out his only two remaining hands and scratched his head. He seemed not to notice that the Great Prince of Shark Star was wrong, and continued in a muffled voice, "Therefore, I don't know whether it is true or not. Forget it, let's not talk about this. Great Prince, you..."

Looking at the Great Prince of Shark Star, he hesitated for a moment and said, "Over at the East China Sea Navy...how did the Great Prince talk with you?"

"The recruitment talks went very smoothly. Chief Xia Che does need to recruit a group of mermen and fishmen to work." When Xiao Ba asked about this, the Great Prince of Shark Star smiled faintly. "I have already agreed. After returning, I will personally select some mermen and fishmen who are close to humans for him. Under the protection of the East China Sea Navy, I believe they will not be bullied by other forces."

"At the same time, we also discussed some business. The goods produced by the East China Sea Navy will officially enter Fishman Island. In addition, I also purchased a batch of weapons and equipment from the East China Sea Navy, oh, and food."

"I have to say, the stuff from the East China Sea Navy is really cheap! Much cheaper than what we buy from those pirates, especially the food... It's very plentiful. No wonder the civilians in the East China Sea are so wealthy."

Fishman Island is rich, but it is also poor!
Although compared to humans, as mermen and fishmen, it is easier for them to obtain treasures in the ocean, but for ordinary mermaids and fishmen, the deep sea is very dangerous.

Moreover, even if they obtained the treasure, mermaids and mermen would not dare to trade with humans easily.

After all, for humans, mermaids and mermen... are also commodities that can be traded. Countless such incidents have occurred in the Dragon Palace Kingdom over the past few hundred years.

A merman took goods and wanted to exchange them with humans, but ended up losing both him and the goods.

Therefore, there are many poor fishmen in Fishman Island, and there are even many orphans who rely on robbery and stealing to survive!

The former Fishman Street was a large place specifically used to shelter orphans. Tiger Boss, Jinbe, Arlong and Hachi all came from here, as well as Hodie Jones.

But a lot of things happened later, and Fishman Street has become the area where illegal groups gather.

"I hope this can bring some changes to the Fishman Island! But..." He sighed helplessly, "Chief Xia Che needs quite a few people, and...let the fishmen work for humans."

He covered his head with his hands in a headache, "I guess the people in Fishman Street will cause trouble again because of this!" "... Fishman Street?" Xiao Ba was silent for a moment, and then looked at Shark Star with firm eyes, "Please rest assured, I will help, and I will let them understand the painstaking efforts of the eldest prince, Princess Otohime and Boss Tiger!"

"Then I'll leave it to you. As someone who was born in Fishman Street, you may be able to make them understand better. If there is anything that requires help from the Dragon Palace Kingdom, please speak up." Shark Star was not shy. He knew that it would be better to let Xiao Ba do this kind of thing. "Also... you must pay attention to those guys like Hody Jones and Vander Decken IX. Don't..."

He paused again, "Therefore, it will cause conflicts between the fishmen and humans again!"

"I know what to do." Xiao Ba nodded seriously, "Leave it to me, Xiao Ba!"

After saying that, he hesitated again and asked, "Prince, what about Joy Boy...?"

"Joey Boy?" After hearing what Xiao Ba said, Shark Star was silent for a moment, then shook his head with a wry smile and said, "Chief Xia Che said he is not Joy Boy, and he also said Joy Boy might have just gone out to sea!"

"???"

"This must be a joke from Chief Shache! I can tell that he knows about the legend of Joyboy, but he doesn't seem to care about it at all." Sharkstar walked to the window and looked out. Although it was dark now, the lights were still bright in the night of the Konomimi Islands, and the streets were still crowded. With a hint of confusion in his eyes, he said, "When I left, he said to me, 'Placing your hopes on a man who failed eight hundred years ago, have you ever thought of finding other ways to rely on yourselves?'"

"?!" Xiao Ba, who was standing by, was stunned for a moment. He seemed to have not expected that the leader of the East China Sea Navy would actually say such a thing. He opened his mouth in astonishment and then closed it again, as if he did not know what to say. Finally, he showed a bitter smile and said, "It is really admirable!"

"It is indeed admirable. Perhaps this is also the reason why Chief Xia Che can make the East China Sea the most peaceful place in this chaotic era!" Shark Star also nodded with admiration, "It's just..."

But after saying this, he smiled bitterly and said, "How can it be so easy for a fishman to find other ways?"

Boss Tiger failed!
His mother failed too!

And perhaps because of the ancient weapons, the World Government has always been wary of Fishman Island.

"Forget it, let's not talk about this. We don't know whether Joy Boy is really here or not." Shark Star glanced around and asked in confusion, "Where are the others? And where is Huang Xing? Why aren't they here?"

"They saw that it was very lively outside, so they decided to go out for a walk. After all, this is a rare opportunity." Xiao Bahan scratched his head with a smile, "Let me tell you not to worry about them, they will be back soon!"

"These guys...this is indeed a rare opportunity!" Shark Star was stunned for a moment, then frowned.

In fact, these fishmen and mermaids who are close to humans... have never been to land. Basically, their understanding of humans comes from their mothers' teachings and from other fishmen and passing pirates.

After all, most of the fishmen and mermen who have come to human land hate humans.

only……

Shark Star still said with some dissatisfaction, "No matter what, we are fishmen and mermen, how can we go out casually?"

"Please rest assured, I have already told Colonel Kailin, and he has also guaranteed that no one here will attack the mermen and mermaids. If there is, the East China Sea Navy will never let them go." Xiao Ba said with a silly smile, "Do you want to go out for a walk, Prince? This is a rare opportunity. Compared to the Chambord Islands, this place must be safer!"

"Then..." Shark Star, who was originally a little dissatisfied, suddenly had his eyes flashing slightly, and then he coughed twice, and said in a steady and mature tone, "I'll go out and take a look too!"
