Chapter 197 Porusalino: What Shines in the Deep Sea? It's My Justice! (Fog)
Early the next morning, Porusalino was awakened by the noise in the port. After getting up slowly, washing up and getting dressed, he walked to the deck of the battleship.
As soon as he arrived on the deck, Porusalino saw the right minister of Ryugu Castle with an anxious look on his face - it seemed that he had been waiting here for a while.
"What's wrong? What happened?"
"Riot! After the treaty signed with the government was announced this morning, the citizens rioted! They gathered outside Ryugu Castle in unison. Princess Otohime has already gone to deal with it! Lieutenant General Porusalino! Hurry up and take a look. ! We are afraid that things will get out of control and something bad will happen..."
The right minister spoke very quickly, and his forehead was covered with sweat.
"Where are Major General Kuzan and Minister Guy?"
Porusalino asked.
"The two of them have already passed ahead of time!"
"Okay, let's go and find them."
…
Outside Ryugu City, it was already covered by a black mass of human heads. This morning, the radio telephone bugs placed throughout the Ryugu Kingdom announced a news - Fishman Island and the World Government signed a series of treaties. Before the citizens could understand what was going on, why they suddenly signed a treaty with the World Government, the contents of the treaty that were announced one by one directly ignited the anger of the people of Fish-Man Island.
"Ryuugong City betrayed our Fish-Man Island to the World Government! It trampled our dignity under its feet!"
"Reject unequal treaties! Fight to the end with the world government!"
"This is naked oppression! I can't breathe!!"
"Long live the Fishman Island! Long live the Fishmen and Mermaids!!"
"Take up arms! Defeat the naval invaders!"
"Overthrow the mediocre rule of Ryugu City! Fish-Man Island belongs to all citizens!"
…
The passionate slogans made the people more and more excited - the vast majority of people are usually relatively sober when they are alone, but once they are dragged into the flow of people, their minds suddenly stop thinking. It is easy to become extreme, as is the case with so-called group fanaticism.
Not to mention that this so-called demonstration and resistance was also mixed with a lot of inciting words from people with ulterior motives - for example, some of the slogans were extremely exaggerated, and they even pointed the finger directly at the guys from Dragon Palace City, who often appeared in The darkest corner of Fish-Man Island is Fish-Man Street.
"Princess Otohime, don't go there!"
The heavily armed Jinbei stopped Princess Otohime who was about to walk in front of the people. In front of him, the guards of Ryugu Castle formed a (fish) human wall to isolate the inside and outside.
"Everyone! Please listen to my explanation!!"
The noise of the people was so loud that even though Princess Otohime, who is only 145cm tall and can be called skinny, screamed with all her strength, no one could hear her.
"Go to hell! You princess who became a government lackey!!"
I don’t know who in the crowd roared, and then everyone turned their attention to Princess Otohime, and the sky was immediately covered by a dark shadow - stones, dead fish, garbage, coral, all kinds of things. Something like this was thrown towards her instantly.
"Careful! Otohime!"
A tall figure appeared from behind Princess Otohime, protected her in his arms, turned around and used his back to resist all attacks for her.
"Neptune!"
Princess Otohime raised her head in confusion. The person protecting her was none other than her husband.
"Everyone stop it, you all stop it!!"
Jinbei gritted his teeth and roared: "Didn't you read all the treaties? King Neptune and Princess Otohime signed this treaty that was beneficial to everyone after careful consideration! They did not sell the fish. Human Island!”
Jinbei's voice was not too quiet, but against the noise of so many people, not many people could hear it. Moreover, even if some people heard what he said, they completely ignored it - Jinbei is not Tiger, and his influence among the fish people is not that great, not to mention that almost everyone was carried away by emotions at this time. , so all kinds of throwing objects and even sharp weapons were thrown over again.
"Major General Kuzan,"
Minister Guy, who was watching this scene coldly, raised the corner of his mouth and nodded slightly with satisfaction, "It's time for you to take action. Aren't the Navy going to station in Fish-Man Island in the future? You will still be the person in charge here, Now is a good opportunity to establish your authority! Kill all these reckless guys!"
"Really, how can you be so noisy?"
Kuzan sighed, "It seems that I was too optimistic about the situation before..."
Indeed, the current Fish-Man Island is really sitting on a powder keg. If you are not careful, the excited people will immediately trample on the rule of Dragon Palace City and the treaty that has been signed with the government, and then in Under the instigation of certain racial extremists, all the people participated in the war to fight the "evil" world government... and the final result was, of course, that the entire Fishman Island and all the fishmen and mermaids were blown up to the sky.
Princess Otohime is very sober, so she will never allow such a thing to happen.
Although her body is extremely weak, Princess Otohime is a natural possessor of the domineering power of seeing and hearing. Just like Red Earl Redfield and Pirate King Roger, she can sense the inner thoughts of others to a certain extent. Therefore, she now perceives very clearly that the anger in the hearts of the citizens is just a surface. Hidden behind the anger is the confusion of thinking that they have been betrayed by Dragon Palace City, and is the fear and abandonment of the future.
In their view, Ryugu City, which they trust and respect, has already represented this country's surrender to the world government. What awaits them as ordinary citizens is to be unscrupulously treated as slaves by humans, and to be discriminated against and treated at will. The killings can be described as darkness and no hope at all.
After thoroughly understanding what the citizens were thinking, Princess Otohime decided to appease them at all costs, but after all—
"Kalala!!!"
The extreme coldness suddenly swept across the world, suppressing all the words that Princess Otohime was about to blurt out, and also suppressed the loud noise outside.
"What's this?"
"Frozen!!!"
"An attack? Dragon Palace City launched an attack on us!!!"
…
Panic voices suddenly began to rise one after another, and the people were frightened - the reason why they dared to launch protests and demonstrations unscrupulously was because they felt that they were outnumbered, and they were sure that Dragon Palace City would not take action against them, but now... …
The ground they were on had turned into a vast ice field, and the feet or fish tails of the nearly ten thousand people gathered here were frozen to the ground, unable to move at all.
"Can it be a little quieter?"
Outside the gate of Dragon Palace City, a huge spiral-shaped ice tower rose from the ground, instantly attracting everyone's attention. The tall and thin Kuzan stood at the top of the tower, holding a loudspeaker phone so that his voice could easily reach everyone's ears.
"My name is Kuzan, Rear Admiral Kuzan of the Navy Headquarters. According to the treaty signed between Fishman Island and the World Government, after this, our navy will establish a permanent base on Fishman Island, and I will serve as the top commander of the base. principal."
"Rear Admiral of the Navy... Headquarters?"
"I've heard of him! Rear Admiral Kuzan! One of the three natural monsters in the Navy Headquarters! He's so powerful that it's terrifying!"
"Is this what he did? Natural frozen fruit ability user!"
"Damn it - why is this guy here!"
The fishmen and mermaids gathered here looked at each other. Not all of them were extremely racist or had evil intentions - most of them had only read the beginning of the treaty, or had not read it at all. Treaty, I simply felt betrayed, so I turned my anger into temporary courage, came here to ask for an explanation and then vented my anger.
"You should take a good look at those treaties, use your own eyes to see clearly, and use your own heads to think clearly. Are those treaties really the betrayal of Ryugu City to you? Are they really the oppression of you by the World Government?"
"Moreover, putting aside the treaties themselves, have you ever thought about why the World Government suddenly allowed our navy to appear here? Fish-Man Island is also a member of the World Government and a member of the World Government. We The navy is supposed to be your protector..."
Kuzan's voice is calm and powerful, and his move to unleash his amazing freezing ability makes him very intimidating. The heated brains of many fishmen and mermaids have calmed down and they listened to his words.
"I'm going to tell you now, the reason why the navy suddenly appeared on Fish-Man Island on a large scale after hundreds of years - a few days ago, Fisher Tiger, a pirate from Fish-Man Island, attacked the world's nobles Their place of residence, the Holy Land Marie Joa, and set off a great slave unrest! The fire was released! The Celestial Dragons were violated, and the majesty of the World Government was affected! Our navy came to Fish-Man Island with a mission, And it also has the power to completely wipe out Fish-Man Island if there are special circumstances!"
It has to be said that under the influence of Porusalino, Kuzan has learned his tricks in a good way - just this move of pulling the tiger's skin to pull the banner and then throwing dirty water on it is enough. Porusalino, who was standing aside, nodded secretly.
"What?! Fisher Tiger invaded Mariejoia?! Attacked the Draco?!"
"Brother Tiger, why are you so impulsive! He is a descendant of the Creator!!"
"...Hey, will the Navy completely wipe out Fish-Man Island?"
"Are you kidding! It's impossible!"
…
Seeing that the people were already led by him, Kuzan continued:
"Yes, we did only come with one warship, but this ship is carrying more than a thousand sailors! Each of them is an elite who has fought against brutal pirates!"
"More importantly, as the responsible officer, I am not the only one, but also Commander Guy, who comes from the world government and fully represents the world's nobles! And my senior, Lieutenant General Porusalino, candidate for naval admiral!"
At this point, Kuzan's voice stopped - and then his feet suddenly exerted force, his body jumped high, and two icicles suddenly appeared from the center of his open palms.
The icicle slanted upwards, its length skyrocketed, getting longer and longer, until it penetrated the special outer layer of Fish-Man Island and touched the seawater layer outside.
“ICE AGE!!!”
This is probably the first time Kuzan has used his frozen fruit ability to its full potential since he became an esper. In just a few seconds, the seawater outside Fish-Man Island was completely frozen, forming an ice ball with a thickness of tens of meters. The shell completely enclosed the Fish-Man Island in the middle!
"What...what is this?!"
"It's frozen!! Fishman Island is frozen!!!"
"...How can there be such terrible humans?!!!"
"...I'm dreaming, I must be dreaming, hahahaha!!!"
…
It was not just the ordinary people of Fishman Island who were in a state of panic. Jinbei, King Neptune, Princess Otohime, and even Minister Guy could not help but widen their eyes. Only Porusalino nodded clearly. ——How should I put it? Kuzan now looks like one of the three future generals.
Kuzan, who had a slight sweat on his forehead, landed on the ice tower again, facing the people of Fishman Island who were either stunned or swallowing their saliva and continued to speak:
"As you can see now, we not only have the power to destroy Fish-Man Island, but also have the actual power to destroy Fish-Man Island! And - my senior brother Lieutenant General Porusalino is stronger than me! As long as he is willing, he can It can reveal power like the sun and easily destroy the entire Fish-Man Island in just one breath!"
Mr. and Mrs. Neptune and Minister Guy couldn't help but cast their eyes on Porusalino beside them. The latter nodded reservedly, not showing any hint of inner ecstasy and pride.
(Have vision! Kuzan, you kid! After the second wave of the Pirate World, you will be chosen! Second only to Sakaski!)
"A guy stronger than Major General Kuzan...is he really still a human being..."
"I remembered that Lieutenant General Porusalino fought against the strongest man in the world, Whitebeard!!!"
"Is it really that strong? I don't believe it! Is there only one child in a family?"
"Next to me, what are you so crazy about? I told you not to read more of the reporter named 'Bass' in the World Economic News!"
…
"So, can you calm down now and understand your king and princess?"
Kuzan continued, "They tried every means and argued with reason to calm the anger of the Tianlong people and at the same time protect you people!"
"Is the anger of the Tianlong people so easy to calm down? No three-year-old child would have such innocent thoughts!"
"Or do you think that you can find a better solution than King Neptune and Princess Otohime?"
The whole place was silent, and after a while, quiet discussions began.
"Those world nobles... each of them must have at least a thousand slaves..."
"I heard my grandfather say that the government's anger will be resolved with the Demon-Slaying Order...Dozens of warships will use artillery to wipe out all living creatures in a certain area. If it is an island, it will be wiped off the map... …”
"So... Longgongcheng really didn't betray us? And it even protected us?"
"...It seems like this..."
…
Feeling the people's changing psychological activities, Princess Otohime breathed a long sigh of relief and collapsed in her husband's arms. Porusalino smiled and ducked to the ice tower made by Kuzan.
"Ahem, I am Vice Admiral Porusalino of the Navy Headquarters... Now that everyone has calmed down, I will briefly mention three points. In fact, they are all the contents of the announced treaty. You can go and see it with your own eyes. look……"
"First, the Navy will establish a permanent base on Fish-Man Island in the future to protect the peace of Fish-Man Island. Moreover, the garrison of the navy will not be limited to us humans. Young fish-men with ambitions and a sense of justice can also actively sign up. Use your own hands to guard your homes and families. We warmly welcome you! By the way, the treatment of our navy, from the entrance to the Upside Down Mountain to the top of the Red Earth Continent, everyone who knows it says it is good!"
"Second, the Navy will work with you to crack down on all slave capture. Whether it is slave traders among your own people or foreign human slave traders, they will be punished by death! The same is true for pirates! And, we We will start taking action now! Their bodies will be hung on the ice tower at my feet to show our all yearning and determination for peace! Our sincerity and maintenance of the Treaty of Friendship and Mutual Assistance!"
"Third, the Navy will work with the Ryugu City Guards to form a Fish-Man Island law enforcement team to maintain the order of Fish-Man Island and resolve disputes! Moreover, the daily work results will be released in the form of phone bug messages. Everyone is welcome to view Phone bug, supervise our work!”
(The so-called guidance of public opinion means that one person plays a good role and the other person plays a bad role, high-profile showing off the stick used to intimidate, and high-profile showing off the carrot to win over people's hearts...)
…
After a moment of silence, there was faint applause from the crowd. The applause became louder and louder until it became one and finally sounded like thunder.
"If that's the case, we accept it!"
"This Lieutenant General Porusalino, the coat of justice on his body is simply shining, so dazzling... Is this the representative of justice?"
"No, he seems to be really glowing."
"I told you to read the treaty a long time ago. If you don't believe it, why don't you just come to demonstrate... I almost mistakenly accused a good person!"
"Navy! Welcome to Fishman Island!!"
…
It has to be said that although he is also asking a group of people to listen to his words, Porusalino feels that it is more satisfying to use his mouth to escape than to do it with his hands. He also understands why the protagonists of shounen hot-blooded comics have to use the mouth to escape as a standard. A skill.
But to be honest, no one wants to die meaninglessly, so when the people see that this time the representatives sent by the World Government have the power to easily destroy everything they have, the so-called riots should actually end.
Moreover, Porusalino and Kuzan's "carrot and stick" approach made the people of Fishman Island believe it even if they didn't believe it. After that, Princess Otohime and King Neptune added some words, and the riots That's how it calmed down.
Kuzan unfrozen the murlocs and also unfrozen the murloc island, leaving only the ice tower that "represented justice and was hung with the corpses of sins". Then the people went back to their homes. .
They want to return to their own lives, and no one wants to experience how powerful this man named Kuzan is again.
Seeing that the riot was over, Princess Otohime looked at Porusalino with hopeful eyes:
"Lieutenant General Polusalino, are you telling the truth? About launching an immediate cleanup operation against the slave traders and pirates on Fish-Man Island..."
"Of course it is true, Your Royal Highness, otherwise why don't I ask Kuzan to remove this tower as well?"
Porusalino smiled and shrugged, "Anyway, our navy has the duty to fight against these people, so why not show it openly and let the people of Fishman Island and the whole world see our determination to fight against evil?" Sincerity in building peace..."
"You are so thoughtful! Lieutenant General Porusalino! I... on behalf of all the citizens of Fishman Island, I would like to express my gratitude to you!"
Princess Otohime took a deep breath, with a grateful look on her face, and solemnly saluted Porusalino.
The latter did not refuse hypocritically, but just scratched his head: "However, regarding the action against slave traders and pirates, I have an additional suggestion, that is, the Fishman Street on Fishman Island should be cleaned up... "
"Most of them are guys who hate humans, such as that Aaron. They get together, and apart from drinking and sleeping every day, they express to each other how much they hate humans and how they will retaliate against humans in the future. And their The leader, Tiger, is still a wanted criminal by the government and our navy. If they do something extreme before signing a friendship treaty, it will be difficult for everyone..."
Of course Princess Otohime understood what Porusalino meant and the significance of cleaning Fishman Street, but she still showed a wry smile:
"Lieutenant General Polusalino, Fishman Street is not an easy place to clean up. The fishman criminals there are very powerful and they hug each other. In fact, we in Dragon Palace City have considered cleaning up that place before. Governance, but every time we give up... Moreover, we have finally managed to stabilize the mood of the people. If this time..."
"I know what you're talking about, Princess Otohime,"
Porusalino smiled and then looked at Guy on the side, "But the mere Fishman Street is not taken seriously by our powerful Minister Guy..."
"Minister Guy?"
"I?"
"Isn't it? Minister Guy killing those extreme fish-human racists is as easy as crushing ants,"
Porusalino nodded to Guy and boasted, "Moreover, the signing of the Peace and Friendship Treaty only represents the reconciliation between the World Government and Fish-Man Island. There must still be dissatisfaction among the Tianlong people who have suffered huge losses before. . Minister Guy, if you go and clean up Fishman Street, you are also expressing your CP0 position. It will be easier to complete the task when you go back!"
"Hmm...that makes sense!"
——No one doesn't like to be praised, let alone Guy, an arrogant guy, and Porusalino also "considered them from the perspective of their CP0", so Guy not only shined, but also completely Without any doubt, he smiled and nodded in agreement.
(He is indeed a guy who can gain the trust of Leander Palace. He speaks well and has a good brain. He is just different from those annoying ordinary navy soldiers... Well, if he serves as a navy admiral in the future and is stationed in the Holy Land for a long time, Maybe you can buy him a drink and make friends...)
"Of course,"
Porusalino added, "After all, Fishman Street is the most chaotic and darkest place on Fishman Island, so we will not carry out the cleaning operation there until the end of this return voyage. Before that, we will first focus on combating the general sea. Thieves and slave traders, please give the people an immediate explanation..."
"Besides, although Fishman Street is dark, not everyone is bad. There are also many people who have relatively neutral positions and attitudes, but they are just coerced by violence. This is a good time for them to think about it. , stand up again... When we officially start the cleanup operation against them, we don't need to let these innocent people bleed, nor do we need to be merciful to the remaining bad elements, we can just take the harshest blow..."
(At the same time, you can also wait for the opportunity I want to send you on the road, respected Minister Guy...)
ps: 6.4k big chapters!
ps: You can guess who Polusalino is waiting for and what opportunity he is waiting for - a warm reminder, a big shot related to Fish-Man Island~
ps: In fact, in the Fish-Man Island chapter, there is one thing that impressed me deeply, that is, Hody Jones and his group of people clearly have no physical hatred for human beings, but they just think it is cool, and they have become extreme racists since childhood. ——It’s just like some of today’s gender extremists, quite outrageous.
