The Legendary Family of One Piece

Chapter 198 looks like it's hopeless.

Neptune paused for a moment before speaking.

"I hope to build a fish-man street on Lati Island!"

Charlotte: ? ? ?

Somewhat bewildered, Charlotte looked at Neptune. What did this mean? Was it to make money from him?

But then I thought about it again and it didn't quite make sense!

"What I mean is that in the future, I'd like to allow some fish-people, or even mermaids, to live on Lati Island!"

Huh? Charlotte was somewhat shocked by Neptune's decision. The reason why mermaids were repeatedly sold was because the mermaid race was a rare and precious race in the pirate world.

The auction prices are astonishingly high; a beautiful mermaid was once auctioned for a staggering 500 million Berries.

It caused a sensation!

This also led to the persistent problem of slave trading on Fishman Island, and it can be said that Neptune faced extraordinary pressure in doing so.

Many humans harbor prejudice against both mermaids and fish-people, which is a serious racial issue.

To trust Lati Island so readily upon first meeting, Neptune's boldness is truly admirable.

Of course, Charlotte understood that Tiger must have played a significant role in this.

Neptune, seeing Charlotte deep in thought, did not disturb her; this was indeed a very thorny problem.

For hundreds of years, both mermaids and fish-men on Fishman Island have longed for the sky and sunlight on land.

Living on the ground as equals is the dream of countless residents of Fishman Island.

Many fish-men choose to go ashore and become pirates after reaching adulthood, all because of this long-cherished wish, and there are even a few mermaids who do the same.

Their yearning for land fueled the imagination of humankind, yet the world was fraught with countless dangers.

Even in the depths of the ocean, thousands of meters deep, slave traders still come despite the risks. Such madness shows how few people live on Fishman Island, and the young female mermaids are undoubtedly the most victims.

In his letter, Tiger repeatedly mentioned the environment on Lati Island, which he considered to be the most suitable island in the world for the residents of Merman Island to visit and engage in friendly exchanges.

"Okay, sure."

Charlotte replied that while there were risks, there were also many advantages.

The fish-men are natural-born warriors of the sea, and their abilities in the ocean are an unimaginable asset, which greatly benefits Lati Island.

The principle that those who follow the right path receive much help, while those who stray from it receive little, applies to this world as well.

Moreover, Fishman Island itself hides many important secrets, so the friendship between the two forces is of great significance.

After receiving Charlotte's reply, Neptune was so excited that he drank several more glasses with Charlotte.

Of course, Charlotte also set some of her own goals, such as collecting unique Fishman Karate techniques, rubbings of the two Poneglyphs in the Sea Forest, and trading with Fishman Island...

In return, Charlotte agreed that during their stay, the Heberfeller family would do their utmost to help Fishman Island suppress invading pirates, slave traders, and other threats.

However, Neptune's plans encountered obstacles.

Fishman Island has always had a peace faction that is willing to coexist peacefully with humans and a war faction that hates humans.

The plan to go to Lati Island was too dangerous, and for a time, all parties disagreed with it.

Charlotte was powerless to help; it was a family matter, and he really shouldn't interfere.

Having no other options, Neptune proposed a plan to "voluntarily apply to live on the human island of Lati".

Kuala Lumpur Koh Place!

Faced with the propaganda of the Sea King Army, the vast majority of Fishman Island residents looked skeptical, their distrust of humans deeply ingrained.

Charlotte looked at him helplessly; he couldn't possibly drag him away by force.

Furthermore, it was Neptune who proposed it; he didn't force it. It was merely an experiment, a collaboration.

"Charlotte, Neptune's plan isn't working! Nobody's coming," Lina said softly, sitting beside Charlotte.

"Let it be! It's not that they have to go, it's just an experiment."

Charlotte spoke casually, saying that maintaining a friendly relationship with Neptune was enough for him, and they could take things slowly later.

After all, the Deep Sea Fishman Island possesses many rare specialties, such as a kind of colorful agate coral, which can be used to research new types of nutrient solutions.

Some deep-sea artifacts have proven quite helpful in the research of the Hibfeller family's pharmaceuticals.

"Let's go! It looks like there's no hope."

Charlotte turned to leave, without any hope.

"Is that... Lord Charlotte's island?"

At that moment, a beautiful mermaid girl asked the Sea King Army a question.

"yes!"

The mermaid girl gritted her teeth and said, "Then I'm willing."

The leader of the Neptune army was clearly surprised. "Name?"

"Temi!"

"Okay, sign here."

As soon as she finished speaking, Temi signed her name on it.

Charlotte tilted his head slightly, somewhat puzzled. He didn't seem to recognize that beautiful mermaid!

Then he looked at Lina and asked, "Does she know us?"

"It should be the mermaid who was rescued," Lina replied, somewhat recalling the memory.

That's quite unexpected!

Seeing this, many of the rescued mermaids or fish-men who longed for land stepped forward to sign, numbering about a dozen.

Charlotte watched silently. He had estimated that this was all there were; he hadn't thought there would be any. This was quite unexpected.

That's a pretty good start.

Charlotte and Lina didn't linger and began to leisurely stroll around Fishman Island.

on the street.

A yellow flounder with a transparent bubble swim ring was swimming in the street. It had a round glass dome on its back with a comfortable and clean seat inside. The word "Taxi" was prominently written on the top of the dome.

"Oh, this is really interesting?"

Charlotte was slightly surprised. "Lina, do you want to do it?"

Lina nodded vigorously, "Yes! Charlotte, let's sit down!"

"Okay!" Charlotte agreed indulgently.

The two hailed a yellow croaker taxi, boarded it, and leisurely toured Fishman Island.

As for the other members of the Heberfeller family, they were all busy with their own affairs.

Beta, Barrett, and King help the Kingdom's army deal with some troublesome slave traders and strike at vicious pirate crews.

The bloody and ruthless measures greatly deterred the rampant villains, temporarily restoring peace to Fishman Island.

Mitis, Moke, and the others collected all the valuable local specialties and items on Fishman Island, making preparations for their departure.

Gillian discovered the deadly drug E·S, short for "Energy Steroid". Taking this drug can double the user's strength; one pill doubles the strength, two pills quadruple it, and so on. However, the vice president's excessive use will shorten his lifespan and cause his body to mutate.

Gillian was very curious about this and returned to the research lab of the Hibernian Dragonflight to conduct her research.

Pendor mingled with the fish-man island residents who were preparing to leave, calming their emotions, even though there weren't many of them.

A month and a half later, the Hibernian Longteng was ready to set sail again and return to the open sea.

Unexpectedly, the mermaid Dan also wanted to return to Lati Island with them.

Charlotte was very welcoming to the mermaid Dan, who was not only a highly skilled coating craftsman but also a master shipwright.

This could provide considerable support to the Heberfeller family's shipbuilding business.
