Chapter 46: I have General Jinbei who can kill the evil hand
"This..."
After listening to Gawain's words, Neptune pondered for a moment and asked solemnly.
"Gao Wensheng, the reason why you want to take the Hoai ride with me is just to make me determined to track down what happened back then?"
"Hoai?"
Gawain was confused, and Neptune quickly explained.
"Ah, Hoai is this big guy, my giant whale.
Huo Ai, say hello to Gao Wensheng."
"Dirty dirty dirty~~~!"
The giant whale under the crowd swung its tail and let out a series of low roars.
After the giant whale called, Neptune took a deep breath and continued.
"Is it really necessary to investigate what happened back then, Gao Wensheng?
I...although I am also in pain, the truth may only make me more painful!
Now, I at least feel that I have executed the murderer.
But if we get to the bottom of it, whether it’s me or my people, what will they get?”
Neptune sighed.
"The reason why they killed Otohime was because they didn't want us fishmen to go to land. It's not that I don't understand, I just don't dare to understand.
If you investigate, there are only a few results. Maybe the killer was sent by a Celestial Dragon like you, or maybe the killer was sent by a big pirate who is hostile to Whitebeard.
Or maybe the ones who killed Otohime were simply us fishmen ourselves, the compatriots whom Otohime always believed in and loved deeply, that is, those radicals who have never been to land and are short-sighted who desperately advocate that our race is above all else.
Gao Wensheng, it’s funny, isn’t it? Whether it’s the Celestial Dragon or the great pirate, we are no match.
If it were one of my tribesmen, how should I view this matter?
If the clansmen really don’t want to land on land, then whether it’s Otohime or I, wouldn’t we all become tyrants who force our clansmen? And if we are tyrants, what’s wrong with being killed by our clansmen?
The funniest thing is that the person least likely to kill Otohime is the slave trader I usually hate the most.
Who would want us to go to land more than the slave traders, where it would be too easy for them to capture us!"
After the words fell, Neptune closed his eyes and fell into sad silence.
Gawain stood beside Neptune, speechless for a moment.
Is Neptune really stupid?
of course not!
This is not a cartoon, but a real ocean. Even historians cannot record the entire history. How can a cartoonist draw an entire real world?
Now it seems that Neptune is not only not stupid, on the contrary, he is unparalleled in his rationality!
So after a moment of silence, Gawain muttered and persuaded softly.
"I understand your thinking, King Neptune, because the result will never be the result you want, and that result is worse than no result, right.
But I absolutely disagree with this idea!"
Gawain pointed at the sea of clouds in the distance and said in an excited voice.
"The reason why the result is the result is that it means the end of everything!
And now, you have only killed the nominal murderer, but let the mastermind go unpunished. This can only prove that the death of Princess Otohime is not the end!
Just wait for the situation to change, and when people forget that Otohime once existed, who will die next?
You, your children, your people, there will always be someone who will become their new target. Don’t you think that as long as Otohime dies, there will be no fishmen on Fishman Island who will continue to yearn for land?
Even just now, didn't you talk to me about your dream of going to land?
So next, if I agree to your request and bring the approval document of the Five Old Stars to Fishman Island, then when the approval document reaches your hands, will you become the next Otohime?
I am very sorry for Otohime's death, but I sincerely hope that she will become the last regret on Fishman Island.
What do you think?"
After the words fell, Gawain raised his head and looked at King Neptune.
Facing Gawain's stern gaze, King Neptune breathed heavily and nodded heavily.
"you're right!"
Neptune clenched his fists again. He thought of the sadness of the past five years, of his son who was disappointed in him, and even more of his daughter who could only hide in a hard-shell tower.
In the past five years, the people on Fishman Island have never been unified, and the anti-landing faction and the landing faction have always been at odds.
If one day, the landing faction wins a complete victory, what will the mastermind behind the scenes do?
And if the anti-landing faction wins a complete victory, then...
Neptune was a little frightened. He had almost forgotten that even he himself was a member of the landing party who inherited Otohime's ideas.
If his faction completely fails, isn't it clear what his outcome will be?
After thinking about it, Neptune looked at Gawain and said seriously.
"Gao Wensheng, I may not be able to manage my country well, but I know what kind of people to trust!
So, what do we do?"
"How to do it?"
Facing Neptune's question, Gawain nodded with satisfaction, and then spoke softly.
"Do we still need to think about what to do? Don't forget our identity, Neptune.
Whether it’s you, the king of Dragon Palace City, or me, the Heavenly Dragon, we are the ones who make the policy, and the initiative is always in my hands!”
After finishing his words, Gawain waved his hand and pointed at Dragon Palace City, which was getting closer and closer.
"It's almost here, haha, of course you have to hold a grand banquet for the return of the tribe and for me and Musgarud!
We will swim in Fish-Man Island, and we will become friends, not the kind of friends you and I are at this moment, but the kind of friends who can make your people and the people behind the scenes believe that we are friends!
In the next day or two, I will one day be moved by your warm hospitality and invite you to move to land.
The article that was once held in Otohime's hand, this time I will hold it in my own hand!
Look, I've prepared the bait for the man behind the scenes, what do you think, Neptune?"
"This must not be done, Gawain!"
Neptune was so excited that he stopped even calling the holy word.
"If you do that, you...you will be in danger, my friend!"
"Haha, Neptune, if you want to do something but don't want to take some risks, how is that possible?"
Gawain smiled boldly and patted Neptune's tail.
"Putting the core that created everything in front of the mastermind again is the easiest way to find out the cause of Otohime's death!
I have always been upright in my work and never want to go into the dark. Therefore, for all the sinister people, I must pull them into the sunshine!
As for my safety, unlike Otohime, I am never alone!"
Having said this, Gawain gently held Di Yuan's wrist with his right hand.
"This heroic woman is one of the only two candidates for the navy, General Dizono, who has the title of Peach Rabbit!
As long as she is here, ordinary people can't hurt me!"
"But...but even if there is General Peach Rabbit..."
Neptune was so anxious that he couldn't speak. He carefully turned Peach Rabbit's face away, and finally hesitantly continued.
"This is not land, but a seabed 10,000 meters deep. Although there is air on Fish-Man Island, the sea still occupies the majority.
I just assume that if it is not humans who do everything, but... it is ourselves.
So, in the 10,000-meter-deep seabed environment, even if my old friend Garp takes action himself, he may not be able to fight for long!"
Hearing Neptune's words, Gawain laughed deeply.
Neptune, I finally waited for you to say this!
So after gently squeezing Peach Rabbit's wrist, Gawain pretended to be hesitant and asked Neptune.
"What you said does make some sense."
After the words fell, Gawain quickly put aside the hesitation on his face and became bold again.
I saw him wave his hand and come.
"So what, my determination will not weaken because of any danger, Neptune, do as I say!"
"Gao Wensheng!"
Facing the impassioned Gawain, Neptune was extremely moved. He breathed heavily and then spoke loudly.
"Otohime is so lucky to have friends like you and Musgard in her life!
I agree with your decision and I will do my best to support you!
But no matter what, your safety must be guaranteed. Neither Fishman Island nor I want our friends to be harmed in any way!
Kai Xia Jinbei, he is currently the strongest person on our Fish-Man Island, and he is also the strongest fish-man karate instructor today.
I hope you can forgive him and his captain, Fisher Tiger, for their past offenses against Mary Joa and allow him to serve as your personal guard!
As long as you are willing to accept his protection, I believe that under this 10,000-meter-deep seabed, even if the Four Pirate Emperors come in person, even if the navy admiral comes, Jinbei will still be able to fight!"
After the words fell, Neptune bowed heavily to Gawain, and then he said decisively.
"If you don't agree, then I will never risk your safety!
