Facing Basas's sarcasm, Marco and others stared angrily.
"Kulala...Emperor, tell me your conditions."
Whitebeard went straight to the point.
As Whitebeard spoke, the hall fell silent.
"Your son is very arrogant, but he has the qualifications to be arrogant. After all, he has you standing behind him, but arrogance also requires opponents.
Maybe it hasn't happened yet, but without you knowing it, I have already saved his life, and even saved your Whitebeard's life.
For your sake, Whitebeard, I only want Fish-Man Island!"
Foxy looked very indifferent, but he could not refuse his words, "Besides, I have some grudges with Blackbeard. From now on, he will not appear on the sea.
If you agree, take Fire Fist away, if you don’t agree, there’s nothing you can do.”
"Kulala..." Whitebeard drank wine and just smiled after hearing this.
"Although Fish-Man Island is under my control, it no longer lives up to its name."
Over the years, Fish-Man Island was nominally owned by his white beard, but secretly it had long been a utopia.
Otherwise, there wouldn’t be so many fishmen in Utopia, almost all of them migrated from Fishman Island.
Utopia did not occupy it by force, it was just to give Whitebeard face, or it did not want conflict.
Whitebeard also knew about the situation on Fish-Man Island, but he did not stop it. Instead, he turned a blind eye.
Anyway, the protection fee given by Fishman Island every year is quite a lot.
Whitebeard could accept Fish-Man Island's offer to Utopia, but Blackbeard didn't want to let it go.
But the emperor has made it very clear that he only wants these two conditions.
He also ensured that Blackbeard would not appear on the sea from now on, so Blackbeard would not have a good ending even if he did not die.
Compared to Ace, this traitor can't compare after all!
"Okay! I promise you, but you have to compensate me for a boatload of wine."
Whitebeard made his decision quickly.
"Haha... let alone one boat, so what if it's two boats! Go and bring Fire Fist up."
Foxy didn't expect Whitebeard to be so generous.
Not long after, Ace was brought up by two clone soldiers, his face very pale.
"Dad."
Ace lowered his head, not daring to look at Whitebeard.
Utopia did not torture him or interrogate him, it just threw him into prison without asking any questions, and it was not until this moment that he was released.
"Kulala...don't forget two boats of wine."
Whitebeard just glanced at Ace, then looked up at Foxy and prepared to get up and leave.
"no problem."
Under Foxy's watch, Whitebeard led the people away.
"Let's go!"
Marco patted Ace on the shoulder.
----------
The scorching sun hangs in the sky, and the sea rises and falls under the blue sky. The Moby Dick has left the royal capital and is about to leave the inner sea.
Whitebeard stood by the ship's rail and looked at the sea train that was getting distant in the distance. It was moving very fast.
Behind the scenes, Marco and others were comforting the dejected Ace.
At this moment, Ace also knew what he had to pay for his father.
Fishman Island, and Blackbeard.
In Ace's opinion, this is a shame. If it weren't for his father, he wouldn't have suffered such humiliation.
From now on, there will definitely be rumors on the sea that Whitebeard is not as good as the emperor. Not only was he taken away from Fish-Man Island, but he could not even take action against the traitors on his own ship.
So Ace was very angry and powerless.
"Dad, I'm sorry!"
Looking at Whitebeard's back, Ace's face was full of unwillingness.
"There is no apology between father and son."
Whitebeard turned around and grinned, "We're having a banquet. Utopia is giving me two boatloads of wine. Marco, you are not allowed to hide it."
"Dad, the doctor said you can't drink too much."
"That's right, that's right!"
"But we can drink more!"
"Ha ha!"
Whitebeard didn't say much. He didn't teach Ace a lesson or comfort him!
As soon as the banquet started, the atmosphere immediately changed.
There was the sound of drinking wine everywhere, especially when Ace, who was drinking sullenly, was being drunk by a group of people.
Seeing the laughter and laughter on the boat, Whitebeard was sincerely happy.
"Dad."
Marco drank a few bowls of wine from Ace and then came and sat down next to Whitebeard.
"What's up?"
Whitebeard squinted his eyes.
"I want to have a drink with you."
Marco grinned and held the wine bowl.
"Kulala..."
As the wine bowls clinked, both of them drank in one gulp.
“I have to say that Utopia’s wine is truly worthy of its name.”
Marco enjoyed the spiciness, purity and intensity.
The two ships of wine promised by the emperor would cost hundreds of millions at least if they were put on the market.
"Dad, do you believe what the emperor said?"
The father and son collided again, and Marco suddenly looked in Ace's direction and frowned.
"It might be true."
Whitebeard knew very well what Marco was asking. It was nothing more than that the Emperor saved Ace's life and also saved his life.
From his point of view, he believed it.
After all, there was no need for the emperor to lie to him, and it was such a flawless deception.
"I don't believe it!"
Compared to Whitebeard, Marco was very sure that the emperor was deceiving them!
Putting aside Ace, who can kill Dad?
As soon as the Whitebeard Pirates left Utopia, many forces received the news.
The peaceful settlement between Utopia and the Whitebeard Pirates was not beyond their expectations.
The only thing that is certain is that the Whitebeard Pirates must have paid a certain price, and it may be obvious in the next few days.
As for Lu Jiu, who was in Donghai Windmill Village, the news she received was neither the fastest nor the slowest.
She breathed a sigh of relief when she learned that Ace was safe.
At the beginning, when Ace forced her way into Utopia and was caught by the emperor, her heart was in a state of panic, but she was fine now.
From the time Ace left the sea until now, there have been forces secretly observing him.
It was from this force that Lujiu learned about Ace's situation.
Three days later, Utopia sent Bones Sirocco and fish-man hero Fisher Tiger to take over Fish-Man Island from the Whitebeard Pirates.
From the moment it is received, Murloc Island will belong to Utopia and become a brand new province: Murloc Province.
Being a brand new province in Utopia, most of the residents of Fishman Island are not disgusted with it, on the contrary, they are very happy.
Today's Fishman Island also has high-rise buildings and various advanced infrastructure facilities!
However, at this moment in the palace, Neptune, Otohime and many ministers were in a tangle.
Because of Foxy's reminder a few years ago, Neptune attached great importance to Otohime's safety, so now Otohime is still alive.
"Nipton, what do you think about Fish-Man Island?"
Shilok was sitting on the sofa, with Tiger next to him.
However, Tiger looked solemn and did not speak at this time, leaving all decisions and actions to Sirocco.
"Can you give us a day?"
Neptune looked troubled.
"Haha... of course."
Sirocco blew out the smoke, stood up and patted the corners of his clothes, "I haven't been to Fish-Man Island for a long time. I'm going out for a walk, and you can discuss it carefully."
"Thank you."
Shilok waved and left Dragon Palace City.
As Shilok left, all those present were the ministers of Fish-Man Island.
"Tiger, do you think it's time to break away from the World Government?"
The atmosphere in the hall was a bit dull, and Otohime looked down at Tiger who was drinking alone.
"Princess, regardless of my identity, I personally hope that Fishman Island can officially become a utopian province, not a shelter, but a completely utopian island.
If it is just a sanctuary, it will be difficult for Fish-Man Island to develop. And rather than becoming a member of the World Government, I think a utopia is more suitable for Fish-Man Island.
I believe everyone has seen the changes in Fishman Island over the years.
