Chapter 59: Cheers and Cooperation(1/2)
The final finishing work was quickly completed.
This time the war can only be described as crushing. Tens of thousands of pirates were killed, but Bright only suffered less than a hundred casualties, and most of them were just injured. The number of people who unfortunately died in the battle will be two.
number of digits.
In this deep sea, the advantages of the fish people are really great.
It was a great morale booster to receive such a victory not long after officially starting work.
At least the fish people are very excited.
However, Brett felt a little pity.
Although the damage in the battle was small and pitiful, some fishmen died in the battle after all.
Brett knew this was war, but he felt a little uncomfortable when he thought that the compatriots who had called his name with respect before had now turned into cold corpses.
You still have to become stronger.
Both myself and the soldiers.
Only by becoming stronger can we avoid losing.
In this way, the victorious army began to return with the merchants who came from afar.
The merchant fleet was surrounded by murloc warriors and sea beasts, and the merchants were very frightened.
Huge monsters and murderous murlocs surrounded them. Although they have decided to cooperate now, this is definitely not a good experience.
Fortunately, Fish-Man Island arrived soon.
The soldiers stationed at the gate instantly became excited when they saw their returning comrades.
"They're back!!"
"Did we win? Did we win?"
"Of course we won! Aren't Brother Bright and Brother Jinbe standing on the head of the sea beast?"
Cheering and jumping for joy, the soldiers stepped forward to welcome their comrades who had returned from victory.
"What does it look like? You are guarding the gateway to this country!"
Bright, standing at the front of the queue on top of the sea beast, scolded loudly, "Now perform your duties well!"
The excited soldiers stopped moving and fell silent.
Then Brett curled his lips and said, "If you really want to celebrate, you have to wait until tonight."
The fish people were stunned.
Then.
"Long live Brother Brett!!"
"It's the director! Long live the director!"
The cheers spread in the deep sea.
"Hahahaha, let's have some fun tonight!" Jinbei laughed.
"Of course!"
Aaron also nodded in agreement, "Today's victory proves that we are indeed a race superior to humans!"
Brett didn't even bother to talk to him.
"Hahaha, do you want to have a party?"
Laughter came from inside the gate, "I wonder if I can participate?"
Brett looked a little surprised at the huge figure floating out from behind the door, "Neptune?"
"I've been waiting for a long time!"
Neptune smiled and said, "Welcome to the victory, heroes of Fish-Man Island!"
"Hero?"
Brett shook his head, "This is really——"
He took a deep breath, then laughed, "Did you hear that? You can cheer now, heroes!"
"oh!!!"
The cheers that could no longer be suppressed resounded throughout the deep sea.
"Later, remember to hold your chest up." Brett said with a smile.
Neptune personally welcomed the victorious soldiers back to Fish-Man Island.
After passing through the gate, the soldiers discovered that a large number of people from Fish-Man Island had gathered behind the gate. When they saw them coming back, the people also cheered.
They were welcoming the triumph of the warriors who protected them.
Respect, worship, cheer.
The soldiers, who were gangsters in Fishman Street more than a month ago, have never had such an experience.
They were even a little overwhelmed with excitement. It turns out that being admired by others is such an exciting experience?
Really not knowing how to respond, they puffed up their chests.
Now they are qualified to stand up, right?
Obviously I didn't get anything, but I felt I got a lot.
"What, this feeling..."
Aaron felt very uncomfortable and muttered in a low voice. This was something he had never experienced before in his life.
But, it seems, not bad?
“It’s so popular!”
Following the soldiers into the boat on Fish-Man Island, Donald said in surprise, "Suddenly, he has become a great hero protecting Fish-Man Island!"
"Is your name Bright, Mr. Director?" a businessman said, "It seems like he is the dominant one between the two of us!"
"Even King Neptune came to greet him!" Another businessman was also surprised, "This Director's status on Fish-Man Island is much higher than we thought!"
"Doesn't this just mean that we have found the best partner?"
Donald is very excited.
Wouldn’t it be better if the partner has a higher status in this country?
Tezzolo looked at the back of the fish-man named Bright from a distance, and he had only one feeling.
After Tiger and Jinbei, Fish-Man Island will probably have another great character.
Before celebrating, there is one more important thing to do.
Later, on the rooftop of the Immigration Bureau, a meeting between the top management of Fish-Man Island and human businessmen began.
As for why it was chosen to be on the rooftop rather than indoors, it was because there was no room in the building that could accommodate Neptune's stay.
The participants on the Fish-Man Island side were Bright, Jinbe, and Neptune, and on the human side were of course the businessmen headed by Donald.
"We have seen your sincerity."
Bright consciously assumed the responsibility of the chief spokesman. He said seriously, "Fish-Man Island does not welcome anyone with evil intentions, but it is never stingy with its friends."
The businessmen's faces showed joy.
Donald was even more happy, "Don't worry, Director Bright, we will always be good friends of Fish-Man Island."
As long as there is money to be made, who is willing to abandon such a good friend?
"Great."
Brett said with a smile, "Then let's discuss the details of cooperation in detail."
Although it is a detail, there is actually nothing to discuss.
It's nothing more than some trade matters.
Next, merchants will deliver some necessary commodities to Fish-Man Island, and Fish-Man Island will provide high-quality and cheap ore.
The two parties discussed the price of the ore and finally decided on a price slightly lower than the average price.
The merchants were quite satisfied because the ore provided by Fishman Island was of high quality and could be sold at a high price.
Bright is also quite satisfied. Ore can be sold at a high price at sea. Mining on Fishman Island is even simpler. The average strength of fishman miners is ten times that of human beings. They can only use their skills to dig up the ore.
To describe it, the efficiency is very high, the relative cost is very low, and the profits obtained are much higher than those of businessmen.
Bright even plans to catch a few more sea beasts later to help further reduce costs.
After the business was almost done, Donald once again made the request he had made before, "Mr. Bright, for the sake of our long-term cooperation, can you ask Fish-Man Island to send troops to escort us to and from the sea?"
Brett answered him, "I am happy to help my friends, but the duty of the soldiers on Fish-Man Island is to guard Fish-Man Island, and I have no right to dispatch them to do things that are not related to their duties."
Donald was visibly depressed.
To be continued...
