In the extremely luxurious Dragon Palace City, Coulson and the two CP7 members had already left, but King Neptune and other senior officials of Fish-Man Island still stayed in the banquet hall and did not disperse.
Because what happened just now, the shock to their hearts still hasn't subsided.
"It's incredible, it's incredible. Is this really a world government? That world government?"
King Neptune was sitting on the large throne, looking at the gate at the other end of the hall in wonder, and occasionally looking down at the two golden scrolls in his hands.
"It's like a dream..."
Princess Otohime stood on the stage, the tears on her face were not yet dry, and the fatigue caused by childbirth was completely gone.
"In this way, our fish-man island's long-cherished wish for hundreds of years is about to be fulfilled. We mermaids and fish-men can finally freely enjoy the sunshine, forests and earth on land, and be able to interact with humans and even other races in an upright and honest manner.
Come and go!”
In her opinion, although this fish-man island 10,000 meters under the sea is good and safe enough, why can't it be regarded as a relatively large cage?
"I must be well prepared for this speech at the World Conference, and must convey to all the kings our Fish-Man Island's willingness to integrate into the world family!"
Princess Otohime clenched her fists to cheer herself up, feeling a fire burning in her heart.
"Ahem."
But at this moment, the right minister standing in the audience deliberately coughed twice, attracting the attention of the other three people, and then said softly: "Your Majesty, Princess, can I say a few words?"
"certainly!"
King Neptune agreed without hesitation. He was not the kind of person who couldn't listen to the advice of his ministers.
"Regarding this matter, from the surface, it seems that the world government has indeed made huge changes, and it is full of sincerity towards our Fish-Man Island."
As a civil servant, the right minister's thoughts were more delicate and complex, and he slowly stated his views.
"But Wei Chen feels that it is better not to have too high expectations now, otherwise when the development of things is not in line with our expectations, it will be too cruel to be disappointed. After all, it is the world government...
."
His words immediately calmed down everyone's mood. Princess Otohime also fell silent for a while and slowly sat back down.
The right minister continued to speak.
"Furthermore, although the communiqué has been effective since the signing of the communiqué, Wei Chen feels that the above contents will still have to wait until the end of the world conference before any specific action will be taken."
"Of course, the premise is that this issue must be passed smoothly and be strongly promoted. Otherwise, even if the World Government allows us to land, we will not dare to let the citizens go!"
King Neptune nodded in agreement.
"Indeed, it still depends on the specific actions of the World Government in the future. As for the adoption of the issue, I think since we have informed us in advance, we should also be in contact with other kings. I just don't know which kings there are and their
Is the influence large enough and the quantity large enough?”
This made Princess Otohime's eyes dim slightly, and she began to feel uneasy and worried in her heart.
"In addition, there is something very important!" the right minister said distressedly.
"Even if everything goes smoothly and the World Government is serious about it, and we can really leave Fish-Man Island safely and live on the sea under the sun, it will be difficult for us to move the citizens there."
"Although everyone in our fish-men tribe can breathe in the sea and march at high speeds, there is no place to put those shells, furniture, and pots and jars. We can't ask the citizens to give up their property, right?"
Princess Otohime looked at him puzzled.
"Why not let a small number of citizens live in the Shampoo Islands first, and then wait until a suitable island is found to become a new Fishman Island, and then move there bit by bit."
"Besides, we don't need to give up here. After all, some people like to live under the sea."
The right minister was stunned and secretly thought, indeed, no one said that all citizens must be relocated at once, unless there is a situation in the future where Fish-Man Island must be abandoned.
Indeed, if no one destroyed the Holy Land above Marie Joa, nothing would happen on the Fish-Man Island down here...
at the same time.
Just as King Neptune speculated, the senior directors of the administrative department are either heading to the target kingdom at this moment, or they have already communicated the issue and the attitude of the Five Old Stars to the king in advance in the palace.
Of course, not all kings, only those who may support this issue after research and investigation by the Administrative Department. To put it simply, we need to find some kings who have a good attitude towards their citizens and are relatively kind-hearted.
Because only they will sincerely support the passage of the issue!
For example, in the desert kingdom of Alabasta, a big event happened recently. The young Prince Kobra became the king last year.
Therefore, the World Congress in 1498 was the first time that the 26-year-old king participated in the World Congress, which is of great significance.
South China Sea, Kingdom of Sorbey.
"Can you say what you just said again?"
A little giant nearly seven meters tall suddenly stood up from the simple throne and looked at the man in black under the stage in disbelief, holding a golden scroll in his hand.
"Of course, no problem, Your Majesty Bartholomew Bear."
The senior director from the World Government Administration Department showed no impatience and was very respectful and polite.
Although he didn't know why, the minister specifically asked him to treat this insignificant and poor kingdom well, but his experience and wisdom as a senior government official for more than ten years prevented him from neglecting or neglecting it in the slightest.
"As long as you support the adoption of this issue at this year's World Conference, the Kingdom of Sorbey's annual Heavenly Gold can be reduced by 50% until the next World Conference."
Bartholomew Bear, who has always been gentle and introverted, may have been so stunned for the first time since he was born.
When he heard it for the first time, he suspected that his ears were hallucinating, but after hearing it the second time, he felt magical again.
The world government is actually willing to lower the amount of heavenly gold?
It seems that this kind of thing has not happened in hundreds of years!
The Kingdom of Sorbey he manages is a notoriously poor country in the South China Sea. In other words, it was actually living well a few decades ago. However, since joining the World Government, the high amount of gold from the sky every year has sucked the country dry.
blood.
A few years ago, the previous king took only enough treasure to pay the heavenly gold for two years and left here quietly with his whole family by boat.
In this way, the entire nation will face the consequences of not being able to pay the heavenly gold, and then the army troops sent by the World Government will seize the bridge country Tecila Wolf located in the East China Sea and build a lifelong bridge.
It was at such a desperate moment that he stood up!
With his strong physical talent and the ability of the Meat Ball Fruit, he successfully robbed seven groups of pirates at sea, grabbed enough treasure, and paid the heavenly gold that year.
Since then, he has been directly promoted to the position of king by the people across the country.
In the following years, he did this every year, leading the people to plant and fish while going out to sea alone to search for treasures.
In addition to the ships of the navy, the World Government and other kingdoms, all ships will be robbed, whether they belong to pirates, slave traders, or other dark forces.
Finally, the situation in the kingdom was temporarily stabilized.
But as his reputation spread, it became difficult to find hijackable ships in the nearby waters. Gold in the sky is still hanging on the heads of all citizens like a knife.
But if you only pay half of the heavenly gold, the situation will be completely different.
"Then, Your Majesty the King, what is your answer?"
"Of course. Even if there is no such good issue as what you mentioned, I will strongly support it!"
