Chapter 195 Porusalino: Can the Matter of Time Traveler Be Called a Magic Stick?

Although the "Frozen Throne" plan proposed by Borusalino nominally requires the navy or the world government to launch efforts in the Shampoo Islands and the Fish-Man Island at the same time, in fact, the Shampoo Islands have already There is a naval base, so the top priority of the plan is just Fish-Man Island.

Taking into account the special geographical location of Fish-Man Island and the strong combat effectiveness of the Fish-men tribe, the Naval Staff Department, after many discussions, finally came up with an expected goal for the base standards established on Fish-Man Island, which is to benchmark the G1 base, The G5 base and G8 base meet the so-called GL (Grand Line) specifications.

As for the so-called GL specifications, let's put it this way - according to the plot setting in the original work, the original G-1 base was directly swapped with Malinfando to become the new naval headquarters after the War on the Top. This shows that the high standard and strength of this base are second only to the Navy Headquarters.

Therefore, it stands to reason that the construction of a base of this scale is definitely not a simple matter. The cost alone is enough to bring down an ordinary medium-sized government franchise country.

"Minister Guy, regarding the 'Frozen Throne' plan, this is indeed something that is beneficial to both the World Government and our Fish-Man Island. We have indeed been negotiating with the Navy Headquarters before,"

Princess Otohime considered her speech, "In addition, our Fishman Island itself is a member of the government, so in principle we fully support the construction of a naval base on our Fishman Island, but the cost of this base and Manpower and material resources..."

"Cost and other issues are actually secondary issues," Porusalino took over, as if he was really considering the details of the plan. After thinking for a while, he said, "Actually, the main issue lies in the deployment of the base's troops. , it is not an easy task to transport our navy soldiers from the sea to Fishman Island and ensure that they are rotated regularly. The risk and casualty rate of coating the sea from the Shampoo Islands are too high, we The navy is not a pirate, and there is no need to risk one's life on such matters."

"So what does Vice Admiral Porusalino mean by your navy?"

Guy frowned subconsciously and looked at Porusalino - as one of the five ministers of CP0, although Guy has a high level within the World Government, the "Frozen Throne" plan is led by the Navy. He was also unclear about most of the key details and content.

"It's very simple. Fishman Island borrows money from the government and cooperates with our navy to provide manpower,"

Porusalino replied with a smile, "Anyway, they already have a huge debt of 100 billion beli with the government. Now that they can't afford more money, they don't care to borrow some project funds from the government. The Lords of the Five Old Stars will definitely be happy to see Fishman Island take the initiative to borrow money in order to build a naval base and maintain peace and justice... Princess Otohime, you think so too, right?"

"……Yes."

Princess Otohime and King Neptune looked at each other and nodded.

"...and when the funds are in place, our navy only needs to send the officers over first, and the ordinary sailors can be transported slowly. And before that, we can also recruit ordinary sailors from Fish-Man Island... Isn't the average strength of the fish-men tribe ten times that of normal humans? And with millions of people, they will definitely be a good source of soldiers."

"Of course, in order to show the sincerity of Fish-Man Island, Fish-Man Island should also send some fish-man warriors to join the navy at sea, and among these people there must also be high-status figures who can represent Fish-Man Island... Neptune Doesn’t the king have three princes? It’s entirely possible for one of them to join the navy... And Jinbei-dono, who has appeared before, seems to be very strong, and he can also serve as one of the seven warlords under the king. …”

Whether it is the World Government or Fish-Man Island, regarding the issue of Fish-Man Island, Porusalino has a clear understanding of the strategic goals of these two parties:

For the world government, the five old stars not only hope that the fish-man island located in the deep sea will be more controlled by the government, so as to obtain a strong source of troops and further suppress the pirates; they also hope to show the world the "unity and harmony of the government-affiliated countries" ", all races are happy and harmonious", thus demonstrating their majesty and ability to rule - it can be said that they need both dignity and face.

There is no doubt that whether it is building a high-standard naval base on Fish-Man Island, letting the Fish-men join the navy, or letting the Royal Family and Fish-people representatives of Fish-Man Island become part of the government, it is completely satisfactory. The government's request - the senior government officials represented by the Five Old Stars even felt from a superior perspective that not only did Fishman Island's rule be completely strengthened, but they also wisely sent hostages to represent their sincerity of non-rebellion.

At the same time, for Fish-Man Island, their appeal is of course to no longer be oppressed by humans and to protect their own interests. Therefore, in order to achieve this goal, starting hundreds of years ago, the royal family of Fishman Island has tried to gain a voice by making Fishman Island a member of the government.

But the right to speak requires both the "hard power" represented by armed extremists like Aaron, and the "soft power" represented by idealists like Princess Otohime. No matter which kind of strength, it must Only when the murlocs become an important force in the navy, representatives of murlocs like Jinbe and future murlocs of the navy will indirectly or directly change the way most ordinary people view murlocs. The situation of Fishman Island will be greatly improved as a result, and the demands of the fishmen will also be met.

Moreover, not only will these relatively long-term basic demands be met, Fish-Man Island can also obtain tangible benefits and development from the current matter of borrowing money from the World Government...

Of course, for the 100 billion beli that Fishman Island should compensate, Porusalino had already considered a solution that would satisfy everyone.

What? The pirates won't be satisfied?

Sorry, although Porusalino is a Buddhist fisherman and a fun-loving person with a bad taste, he never thinks of those cruel and slave-trading scum of the sea as human beings.

…

That night, a grand banquet was held in Ryugu City to welcome the distinguished guests from the World Government and Navy.

"Senior Porusalino, don't you want to eat?"

Kuzan sat next to Porusalino, sucking the plump oysters in his mouth, smiling inarticulately, "It's delicious~"

"Yes, Lieutenant General Porusalino,"

Sitting at the top, Princess Otohime, who had been feeling a little uneasy all afternoon because Porusalino had not contacted her further, forced a smile and said, "I don't know how delicious the food on the sea is, but we fish There are still some special features here on Human Island.”

"Well, I'm actually not very hungry."

Porusalino smiled helplessly - after the official business came to an end, he spent the whole afternoon shopping around Fishman Island, and his stomach was actually full of food and drinks.

(But after all, it is a royal banquet on Fishman Island, so you should eat some, otherwise Princess Otohime will probably be extremely panicked...)

With this thought in mind, Porusalino picked a plump crab and started moving - he didn't need to eat oysters like Kuzan to strengthen his yang, he himself was a warrior of the sun!

To be honest, although it was an excellent reception, the atmosphere of the banquet was quite embarrassing. Princess Otohime has been trying her best to find topics to talk about, but the ministers of Ryugu Castle and King Neptune himself are in a very depressed mood. The navy and CP are just eating by themselves, and no one talks at all.

"Whoa whoa whoa whoa!"

It was at this time that a baby's cry suddenly came.

"Mom, Shirahoshi is hungry!"

A huge little ghost-headed mermaid with blue hair walked quickly into the banquet hall holding an equally huge baby and said urgently, "She's been crying. Feed her quickly!"

"Ah! I forgot to feed Shirahoshi!"

Princess Otohime exclaimed, "It's over, I'm too busy today!"

"puff--!!"

Kuzan's eyes widened and he almost spit out the contents of his mouth, "These two are the children of Princess Otohime??"

Princess Otohime is a goldfish and mermaid, and her body shape is at the level of a normal human being, even a little slender, but neither the blue-haired little devil nor the huge baby looks like she has a physique that she can give birth to. ah!

"Trivia, most fish are fertilized in vitro,"

The old driver Porusalino explained in a low voice, "They are oviparous animals. I just don't know if fish and mermaids are like this anymore."

Speaking of which, the birth pattern of mermaids and fishmen is very strange - the children of mermaids are not necessarily mermaids, but may also be fishmen. Similarly, the parents of mermaids are not necessarily mermaids, but may also be fishmen.

What's even more amazing is that the type of fish-man or mermaid the parents are is very likely to be different to their children, because the DNA of all parents has already determined what type the children will be.

"The world is really amazing!"

Kuzan sighed.

Although it is very strange, in fact, there are still people in the world who regard mermaids and fishmen as fish. This reproductive situation is one of the important reasons.

"Is this the daughter of Princess Otohime?"

Porusalino looked at the huge baby being held in the arms of Princess Otohime with difficulty and fed with a bottle, and he laughed knowingly, "The legendary mermaid princess, can you let me see it?"

Although the mermaid princess is also a legendary existence, Poseidon, the king of the sea, one of the three legendary ancient weapons, obviously attracts the attention of Porusalino, a time traveler.

"..."

Princess Otohime was stunned for a moment, then hesitated, "Shirahoshi is less than one year old..."

"There are so many people here, Princess Otohime, are you still afraid that I will do something to little Shirahoshi? Well, I will indeed do something to her, maybe a whisper to the children?"

Porusalino winked and smiled.

(!!!)

"good."

Otohime walked over with difficulty holding Shirahoshi, handed Shirahoshi into Porusalino's hand, and then stood aside nervously - on the one hand, she was nervous about her daughter, and on the other hand, she was nervous about what Porusalino said. whispers.

"What a cute little girl. When she grows up, she will definitely inherit your beauty, Princess Otohime."

With a smile on his face, Porusalino looked like an ordinary neighbor uncle, except he was a little sleazy, much like a character from an anime series called Inward.

Although she is only less than one year old, little Baixing is very energetic. There are still milk stains on the corners of her mouth after drinking some milk. Her pink hair is soft and her pink face is quite young. She stretched out her hands to grab Porusalino's face and kept squeezing it while laughing.

"It seems that Shirahoshi likes you, Lieutenant General Porusalino."

When Princess Otohime saw this scene, she couldn't help but laugh on the side, and her nervousness was slightly relieved.

"She's so cute, little Bai Xing~ It's just a pity that I won't be able to see her after today's party,"

Porusalino smiled pointedly, "I like children very much. I wonder, Princess Otohime, if I will have a chance to see Little Shirahoshi again in the future?"

(!!!)

…

As far as code words are concerned, what Polusalino said is quite straightforward, and it is incomparable to Patriarch Bodhi's method of knocking the monkey on the head three times - but the code words are too difficult, Princess Otohime cannot I must understand, so Porusalino could only say this.

What? Why not use the telepathy that only a person like Princess Otohime, who is born with the power of knowledge and domineering, can hear like before?

——That’s so boring. Even the all-powerful tanuki god Doraemon has to break some key props every time before he can introduce new ones. Isn’t it interesting?

So Porusalino said this code word that was not a code word, and what he wanted to express was very straightforward - find a chance to talk alone after the banquet?

Princess Otohime successfully understood Porusalino's intention, and immediately showed a sweet smile after being surprised:

"If you like Little Bai Xing so much, do you have time to play with her after the banquet is over? She also likes you very much..."

…

Although the atmosphere was not good, the banquet still lasted for a full two hours. After the banquet, the tipsy Guy and Kuzan returned to the port where the warship was located, while Porusalino came to her residence, Shell Tower, in the name of meeting Little White Star.

To be honest, Guy was indeed a little confused as to why Porusalino wanted to see Little White Star again, and Kuzan, who saw his doubts, took the initiative to explain:

"Senior Porusalino likes little girls of this age very much. Minister Guy, you must have heard of it, right?"

"Oh - I understand, isn't that just like some world nobles..."

"Well, it's all the same."

"Tsk, tsk, I didn't expect that Lieutenant General Porusalino is also a sweetheart..."

…

Porusalino naturally didn't know about the smear campaign against him by Kuzan and the others. In fact, if he knew about Guy's doubts, he would show obvious abnormalities and ask the other party to follow him - after all, he was originally I plan to set a trap for the opponent through fishing.

In short, Porusalino, who came to the Shell Tower alone, met King Neptune and Princess Otohime, who had been waiting for him for a long time, as well as Shirahoshi, who was already sleeping soundly in the arms of Princess Otohime.

"Little Baixing has already gone to bed. It's good. Children should go to bed early and get up early so that they can be full of energy..."

As soon as he entered the door, Porusalino said this, giving the Neptunes the impression that he really only came to see Little White Star.

"Lieutenant General Porusalino, you..."

"Princess Otohime, King Neptune,"

Porusalino interrupted Princess Otohime's polite words. As soon as he came in, he used his Haki and X-ray eyes to make sure that no fourth person could hear their conversation, so he smiled and said, "Before we begin our formal conversation, could you two listen to me tell you a story?"

Princess Otohime and King Neptune looked at each other, looked at each other, and then nodded in unison: "Please tell me."

"That must be a story from quite a long time ago. About 800 years ago, a man named Joyboy made an agreement with the mermaid princess and the Fishman Island. The content of this agreement was that sooner or later, he would have One day he will repair the legendary Ark Noah, and then lead the residents of Fish-Man Island to live peacefully and freely on land together with humans..."

"But later, due to some reasons, Joyboy could not fulfill this agreement. To express his apology, he left a letter of apology engraved on the stone tablet... Yes, it is the one who is now sleeping deep in the forest of the sea. That stone tablet..."

Princess Otohime and King Neptune were confused by Porusalino's unexpected story, but both of them felt something strange at the same time - as if this strange and unexpected story had a great connection with them.

Seeing that Porusalino stopped talking and just stared at Little Shirahoshi and smiled, Princess Otohime couldn't help but ask: "Lieutenant General Porusalino, are you done with your story... But this story, What is your purpose in telling it?"

"And how do you know that there is such a stone tablet in the Forest of the Sea?"

King Neptune also asked in confusion, "Even on Fish-Man Island, only a few residents know that there is a stone tablet there, and no one can read the words on it, including us royal family members..."

"Well, it's normal that you can't read the text on it, because it is strictly prohibited by the world government. No one in the world can read the ancient text."

Porusalino said very casually in the stunned expressions of Princess Otohime and King Neptune, "And why I can read it and why I know this, it is not convenient for me to reveal it."

"As for the purpose of telling this story, the reason is very simple. Princess Otohime, you and Xiaobai Xing, the daughter of King Neptune, are from a certain point of view the ones who want to fulfill the promise made by the mermaid princess and Joyboy!"

"This... Lieutenant General Porusalino, you are talking about this..."

"I can't prove what I said, but I can only say that what I said is true,"

Porusalino shrugged, "As for why it is Little White Star and not someone else who wants to fulfill the agreement between the mermaid princess and Joyboy, the reason is very simple, because she has the same power as the mermaid princess in her body."

"same……"

"……strength?"

"Ah, the same power that can drive all the sea kings living in the ocean, the power that they respect as kings,"

Porusalino laughed like a magic stick, "This kind of power only appears in a certain mermaid princess every few hundred years... If you want, you can also call it the ability to destroy One of the three ancient weapons in the world, the power of Poseidon, the King of the Sea..."

"!!!"
