Pirates: Honest Men in the Navy

Chapter 237: The huge commercial potential of Fishman Island

Although the many questions that come to mind are very rude, it can also be seen how deep the cultural gap between the two sides is. Even a high-ranking admiral like Louis does not understand the customs of Fish-Man Island. , culture and the like.

Not to mention the ordinary people on the sea?

They all spread rumors, saying that the residents of Fishman Island were demons who wanted to eat people and would be infected with infectious germs if they came in contact with them.

But the more this happens, the more it will deepen the mutual jealousy and fear between the two parties, and further separate the relationship between the two parties.

Because often, fear comes from the unknown.

But Louis is naturally not afraid or anything. Although his mind is full of doubts, he is not a fool like Luffy. He goes up and asks people whether they pull the "Mikon" or something.

When Neptune and Princess Otohime walked up to Louis, Louis put away the confusion on his face and said with a bright smile: "Your Majesty Neptune, Princess Otohime, this is our first meeting."

"Welcome to Fish-Man Island, General Louis." Neptune said with a decent smile.

Although the Great Knight of the Sea was wary and hostile to humans on the sea, the navy had liberated some of their fish-man island slaves on the Chambord Islands, and at the same time on Mariejoia, he denounced the world's government and was against Fishman Island has unleashed a considerable amount of goodwill.

Furthermore, the navy was so powerful that even if Neptune had some small intentions, he would not dare to be disrespectful to Louis.

Contrary to him, Princess Otohime walked forward very enthusiastically, took Louis' hand and said:

"I often communicate with Air Marshal of your navy through phone calls and letters. I can feel the goodwill of your navy towards our Fish-Man Island.

I also heard from Marshal Kong that these are your suggestions, General Louis. I really want to thank you all these years. Without the help of your navy, I would not have been able to achieve results on Fish-Man Island..."

Louis smiled and nodded, shook Princess Otohime's arm and said: "I'm ashamed of myself. These are things we and other navy should do. I'm ashamed to say that Fishman Island has joined the world government 200 years ago. in sequence.

But until now, neither the world's government nor our navy has been able to protect this place properly, causing Fish-Man Island to suffer a lot and receive many unfair treatments. I'm really sorry. "

Listening to Louis' sincere words, Neptune, who was still a little uncomfortable at first, also felt a little emotional, and his impression of Louis became much better.

The port is not a place for talking, so after greeting Louis, the admiral, Neptune and Princess Otohime took Louis and others towards Ryugu Castle.

While walking, Louis looked at a guard beside Neptune.

The future Yonko? Kai Xia? Jinbe!

But at this time, Jinbei has not yet become a pirate because of Fisher Tiger's incident. He is now serving as the guard captain of Ryugu Castle and is also Neptune's personal guard.

This guy's strength is indeed powerful, and among the violent fish-men, he is one of the few moderate fish-men who can suppress his own nature.

One of Louis' main goals this time was to see if he could trick Jinbei into becoming a member of the navy.

Since Crocodile disrupted Louis' layout and arrangements for the King's Shichibukai, Louis was also making up for these shortcomings.

If Jinbe can become a marine before he becomes a pirate, then what Fisher Tiger does in the future may be an opportunity...

At that time, the Navy will have one more member of its own in the Shichibukai, and will be able to further adjust and maintain the relationship with Fish-Man Island, which is not a loss in any way.

For the current Jinbei, Admiral Louis is undoubtedly a big shot, but what he is confused about is, why does Admiral Louis always stare at him and smile?

And the smile is... a little perverted? !

But this was not the time to talk. Before entering Ryugu Castle, Louis gave Jinbei a friendly smile, nodded and then followed him into Ryugu Castle.

But in Jinbei's view, this so-called 'friendly smile' is so offensive to others!

The group of people entered the city and took their seats one after another. Then Princess Otohime clapped her hands, and a beautiful mermaid maid 'swam' over, holding a tray with a respectful expression, and a black pearl the size of a fist was placed on the tray.

"Princess Otohime, what are you..." Louis asked with a raised brow as he looked at the black pearl held in front of him.

"General Louis, this is your first visit to our Fish-Man Island. A small gift is not a sign of respect..." King Neptune explained to his wife with a smile.

Louis picked up the big black pearl and kept playing with it in his hand, marveling at it.

'A pearl as big as a fist...' Louis sighed a little in his heart.

He didn't know much about jewelry, but this size and color must be very rare, right?

Seeing Louis's appearance, King Neptune grinned, thinking that there are so many of these things in our Fish-Man Island, and only those humans on the sea regard them as a treasure.

After Louis admired the size of the pearl, he suddenly realized that this seemed to be the first time someone had given him a gift since he took office as general, right?

Is this considered a bribe?

"In that case, you're welcome. Thank you." Louis nodded seriously and thanked you.

Later, he seemed to have remembered something and continued to ask: "Do you have many such treasures here?"

When King Neptune heard this, his expression changed slightly.

You asked this question, how should I answer it?

If I say the quantity is large, does that mean my gift is too light?

But if I say it's very precious, and the relationship between the two parties gets better and better in the future, and we understand each other better, and the truth is finally exposed, how can I still behave?

At this time, Princess Otohime chuckled, causing Louis and King Neptune to focus on her: "There are many pearls like this, but one of this size is considered a rarity here.

Our Fishman Island is different from other places on the sea. Perhaps things on the sea that are not worth mentioning to others are extremely precious to us, and vice versa..."

really!

When Louis heard this, his eyes gradually became eager. Why didn't he notice this 'deep sea treasure' before?After seeing this fist-sized black pearl, he realized how much money would be made if he could reach a business partnership with Fish-Man Island and transport these deep-sea treasures to the surface for sale?

As for the black pearl in his hand, not to mention other pearls, even if they are not that big, they will definitely be robbed by everyone if they are sold!

However... the navy still can't do it in person. In the end, it still has to rely on the King's Shichibukai.

Thinking of this, Louis focused his attention on Jinbei who was standing far away from the door. He didn't know why this guy was hiding far away.

In short, if this thing can happen, Jinbei joins the navy, and then secretly becomes the king's Shichibukai, and then uses his identity as a Shichibukai to start business like Smoker...

Doesn't this open up another way for the navy to make a lot of money?

To be honest, the scope of the deep sea is larger and wider than the windless zone, and basically no one can compete with the forces of Fishman Island for this 'natural treasure'.

It can be called a monopoly!

As the admiral currently in charge of the economic development of the navy, Louis was extremely excited when he thought of this.

The gaze he looked at Jinbei became even hotter. This is not Fatty Blue. This is the golden Bailey!
