Chapter 18: Chapter 18: Imu’s loneliness and troubles
Imu casually inserted the long sword into the gray ground.
Although he had not sweat on his body, he usually went into the bathroom and took a shower when he returned to the warm and bright wooden house.
He turned on the shower and warm water poured out. Imu raised his face, closed his eyes and enjoyed the comfort of the moment. But when he dried his body, put on a clean bathrobe, and sat down on the soft sofa. As he is looking at the deserted environment, his suddenly felt a little lonely.
At first, I was excited because I suddenly acquired supreme power, wealth comparable to that of a country, and I could even claim to be the leader of this planet. After such a long time, I actually calmed down and even got used to my own power and identity.
But in the final analysis, he is still an ordinary person who has just transmigrated for less than two years and does not have the tenacious mentality of the original Imu.
As a normal person, he actually hopes to have someone to accompany him, to have a few thoughtful words from time to time, and to relieve the stress in his heart.
But he also knew very well that with his current status, he really couldn't be easily contacted by others.
'Between the Moon' might seem like the supreme place, the most mysterious and noble place on the entire planet, but from another perspective it was also considered a spacious cell, although it could leave at any time.
At first, I felt that transmigrating into Imu's body was like the most outrageous beginning one could hope for, compared to transmigrating into a pirate, civilian, or even a slave or prisoner.
If you think about it carefully, those people can at least venture around on the sea, browse the beautiful scenery everywhere, and experience various wonderful events.
If he really wants to go out one day, he has to consider all aspects of the situation, but if he thinks about it carefully, with his current strength, there should be no existence on this planet that can threaten him.
But Imu also knows that the ocean on this planet is much more mysterious and dangerous than the ocean in his previous life. All kinds of supernatural phenomena emerge in an endless stream. No matter how incredible the accident is, it is not surprising.
As for Devil Fruits, to be honest, except for a few Devil Fruits he is interested in, he ignores the others completely.
So, it seems that the only thing left is to find someone to accompany him.
This person, of course, refers to a woman. Logically speaking, given his status, it is easy to find a beautiful woman. Let's just say that the maids who serve him in life are all top-notch beauties.
Before transmigrating, if someone like one of them were his wife, he would hold her in the palm of his hand and pamper her.
But the situation is different now. Imu feels that even if he wants to open a harem, the quality of the women in this harem must be among the best women in the world to match his current status and power.
It's just that this time is a bit awkward. Those future beauties are either not born yet, or they are still too young to be suitable.
At this rate, he would have to wait for the next twelve years if he wanted to get any of the women from the original job. Then he would be forced to have to endure loneliness on top of the world.
While this true king of the world fell into enviable helplessness and anguish.
In the depths of the sea, 10,000 meters below the Red Earth Continent, another thirty-six-year-old king, now exuding pink bubbles of happiness, gazed lovingly at the baby wrapped in the luxurious quilt his wife held in his arms.
"Otohime, give me the baby, I want to hold Fukaboshi too."
The king of Neptune was not even half as majestic as the king of Fishman Island should be right now. He seemed more like a child attracted to toys, looking longingly at his beautiful and delicate queen.
Princess Otohime's face was still obviously tired, but her eyes were particularly bright. After hearing her husband's words, she took a look at his twelve-meter-tall body and huge hands, and then looked down at the little one in her arms. In the end she shook her head firmly.
"No, Fukaboshi was born less than five hours ago. He is too small, and his body is too soft. You should wait a little longer."
"Ah this."
Hearing the rejection, King Neptune was immediately disappointed, but he loved the woman in front of him so much that he couldn't force it. At this moment, a beautiful mermaid maid walked in.
"Your Majesty, the Minister of the Left has come to tell you something important."
"Really? Then let him in!" King Neptune said casually.
Logically speaking, he should go out by himself and talk in the small hall outside, but at this moment he was still immersed in the joy of having a child for the first time, and he really didn't want to leave his wife for a minute.
"Yes, Your Majesty." The mermaid maid naturally had no objection and turned to leave respectfully.
Soon, the Minister of the Left, who was a catfish merman, walked in dressed in a purple robe. At this moment, he barely looked middle-aged. He was not as old as he was when he appeared in the original work and did not have the horned crutch in his hand.
"Long live the King! Long live the Queen!"
Queen Otohime nodded gently, and King Neptune asked crisply, "What's the matter?"
"Yes, the Minister of the Right sent someone to report that a World Government ship has arrived at Fish-Man Island." Minister of the Left said calmly.
'World government?'
King Neptune subconsciously turned his head and looked at Queen Otohime. The latter thought for a moment and said, "Maybe it's for this year's Levely?"
"This should be."
King Neptune felt the same way and then ordered the Minister of the Left: "Inform the Minister of the Right to welcome them and at the same time ask someone to clean the hall and we will meet there!"
"Yes, Your Majesty!"
The Left Minister after hearing this left to deal with these matters.
"Your Majesty, can you let me listen later?" Queen Otohime asked softly.
"This..."
King Neptune was a little hesitant. Of course, he knew what the other party was concerned about.
When he first became king of Fishman Island, he learned that his newly married wife began to fight for the ideal of peaceful coexistence between fishmen and humans.
But to be honest, he doesn't really agree with it in his heart. He thinks it is too unrealistic. He still knows the virtues of the World Government, but he can't stop his wife and can only let her go.
"Your Majesty~"
Queen Otohime's voice became gentler. Such naked coquettishness and pleading made King Neptune instantly break his guard. He scratched the back of his head and said with a silly smile: "Okay!"
Thirty minutes later, the King and Queen, neatly dressed in royal robes, sat on the seats in the banquet hall. One was majestic, the other dignified and virtuous.
This room was extremely luxurious, spacious and tall. Everywhere you looked was filled with the finest corals and pearls, and there was also a huge shell stage in the middle.
Because we were hosting people from the World Government, in order to show seriousness, there were no musicians or dancers on the stage.
Not long after, a gentle young man in a black suit and leather shoes, accompanied by two capable entourages in similar clothes, arrived outside the palace on a huge flounder with bubbles attached.

Chapter 19: Chapter 19: Shock and surprise at Fish-Man Island!
At this time, inside and outside the banquet hall, there were already a large number of Ammo Knights, and they were in charge of maintaining law and order. The Ammo Knights serve as royal guards for the Neptune Family on Fishman Island. They wear large striped spiral shells as helmets and shoulder pads. His eyes are covered by a kind of black mask. The helmets have a spike protruding from the front, similar to that of a unicorn. Additionally, they carry tridents with them.
And the most elite of the Ammo Knights are specially placed every three meters on both sides of the red carpet leading directly to the hallway.
Three members from the World Government walked into the hall, led by the Minister of the Right in front of them.
This Minister of the Right is a seahorse merman, having ridges along his back and the sides of his face, as well as a curly orange tail like a seahorse rather than a standard mermen fishtail. His mouth also protrudes forwards like a seahorse's.
He wears a jacket with two circles and a band on each sleeve. His jacket's sleeves are very large on the end. He carries a katana on his left hip and a trishula-like trident in his right hand.
Soon, the four of them came to the center of the hall.
The Minister of the Right stopped and reported in a deep voice to King Neptune who was sitting on the throne: "Your Majesty, the officials of the World Government have been brought here!"
At the same time, Queen Otohime, who was sitting on the side of the throne, looked at the three men in black in the audience, and a sense of expectation arose in her heart.
"Thank you for your hard work, return to your position." King Neptune nodded.
Upon hearing the order, the Minister of the Right stood on the opposite side of the Minister of the Left.
"Dear King Neptune, I am the Senior Director of the World Government's Administration Department, Coulson." The leading official in black took the lead in introducing himself.
His expression looked very gentle, and his tone was full of respect, which made the Ministers of the Right and Left very satisfied.
"Okay, what about these two?"
King Neptune looked at the other two men in black, because one of them was carrying a black leather suitcase, which caught his attention.
Colson smiled and said: "They are members of CP7 and are responsible for security work."
"I see."
King Neptune understood this and stopped paying attention to them. He said, "Then tell me, I am very curious about the purpose of your visit to Fish-Man Island this time."
"This time I am here on behalf of the World Government for three main things. The first thing is about the Levely that will be held in June of this year."
After saying that, Coulson turned around, took the black suitcase handed over by the CP7 member, and then entered the triple eight-digit password to open it.
Then he took out a white scroll with the World Government logo from it, and finally handed it to Minister of the Left beside him and said: "Please give the scroll to His Majesty the King for reading."
Minister of the Left first glanced at King Neptune and saw the latter nodding in agreement. He took the heavy scroll with both hands and turned and walked up the steps.
"Your Majesty!"
"Okay, good work."
King Neptune picked up the scroll with one hand, untied the golden ribbon under everyone's gaze, and then slowly opened the scroll and read it.
This process was a bit long, and the hall was silent for a while, with everyone waiting quietly.
Queen Otohime noticed that King Neptune's expression was gradually becoming serious, and his eyes seemed to show disbelief and shock.
This made her even more curious about the contents of the scroll.
In fact, there is not much content in the scroll, but King Neptune read it three times in a row, which made it seem like the content was a bit long.
He raised his head and looked at Coulson standing below, opened his mouth but couldn't say anything.
"Your Majesty, can I have a look?"
At this time, Queen Otohime asked softly, and King Neptune hesitated for a moment before handing the scroll over and said, "Let's take a look."
While Queen Otohime was reading the scroll, Coulson asked with a smile: "Your Majesty the King, on behalf of the World Government, I would like to ask your opinion, are you willing to support the agenda of this session?"
"Well, this is a good thing. No, it should be said to be a great good thing. Of course, I am willing to support it. After all, if this issue is really passed and the World Government is really willing to fully promote it, it will also be of great benefit to our Fish-Man Island."
King Neptune answered Coulson carefully.
"But the question is whether the World Government is really willing to go ahead with all its might, because I remember that this matter was prohibited by law a long time ago, but now it is basically just a law in name."
"To be honest, just passing the issue without heavy-handed control doesn't make much sense."
On the other side, the face of Queen Otohime sitting next to her was already full of shock and surprise. However, after hearing what King Neptune said, she also felt that it made sense, so she turned her beautiful eyes to Coulson in the audience, sincerely hope that the other party's next answer will satisfy her.
"You want to ask how sincere and determined the World Government is this time, right?" Coulson smiled.
"That's right!"
King Neptune no longer concealed himself and looked at the other party solemnly.
"The Five Elders have already prepared to answer your questions, please wait a moment."
Coulson looked prepared and confident. He once again turned towards the black suitcase lifted by the CP7 members and quickly pressed down the complex password.
This scene made the fishmen and mermaids in the hall feel confused. In the end, the straightforward Minister of the Right couldn't help but asked: "Why didn't you take it out together just now?"
Coulson opened the box and took out a second scroll with gold thread and white background and replied: "This is the rule of our department." After saying that, he asked the Minister of the Right to help pass it up.
But this time, he did not wait for King Neptune to finish reading, but started to introduce it, because the World Government needed to let all fish people know about it.
"The scroll you are looking at now is the 'Communique on the Establishment of Equal and Friendly Relations between Humans and the Merfolk and the Fish-Men' written by the Five Elders himself."
"What?!"
Queen Otohime, the Minister of the Left, the Minister of the Right, and all the Ammo Knights present were stunned.
Coulson smiled slightly at this and continued to introduce the general content.
"Mainly the following points."
"1. From the day the two parties sign the communique, they will be severely punished for buying, selling and enslaving the Merfolk and the Fishmen. The nobles of the world from all member countries of the World Government will free the Merfolk and "Fishmen who have been held against their will also be paid a certain amount of compensation. This does not include Merfolk and Fish-men who were imprisoned for crimes."
"2. Establish the Sabaody Archipelago as a safe zone. Merfolk and Fish-men can freely live and wander on the island, and all treatments are the same as humans. At the same time, Fishman Island allows humans to enter, live, and wander freely."
"3. Allow the Fishman Island to station troops in the Sabaody Archipelago to be responsible for matters related to the Merfolk and the Fish-men. At the same time, the Fishman Island allows the World Government to establish a naval branch in its territory to be responsible for matters related to humans, pirates, etc."
"4. Allow the Merfolk and Fish-men to serve normally in the World Government, navy, and various departments, and work together for a friendly future for Humans, Merfolk, and Fish-men."
After he finished speaking such a long paragraph, King Neptune also read the contents of the scroll. It was roughly the same, and he actually saw the five names signed below with the surnames of the world's nobles.
To be honest, His Majesty the King began to suspect that he was living in a dream, and Queen Otohime next to him even burst into tears with excitement.
"The next thing is the third thing."
Senior Director Coulson looked at Queen Otohime, who had already stood up and was shaking, her eyes red, and smiled gently.
"The World Government hopes to invite Queen Otohime to attend this year's Levely and deliver an important speech in support of this issue. Are you willing?"
Queen Otohime almost passed out with happiness. She first looked at King Neptune. After receiving the latter's supportive and encouraging eyes, she looked at Coulson very seriously and answered.
"Of course, this will be the most glorious moment in my life, thank you very much to the World Government!"
