Chapitre 270: 269 Willful Big Girl
At the same time, Whitebeard plans to train his pirate crew in operating the Marine battleships. So in the future, Marine soldiers won't need to operate the battleship.
These are part of Whitebeard's strategy. Scattered pirate crews wouldn't stand a chance against well-trained regular warships without the support of high-end combat power.
In the main hall of the Ryugu Palace, Neptune couldn't comfortably sit on the throne in front of Whitebeard. So, he gave the throne to Whitebeard.
Whitebeard took the throne, Neptune settled into a seat, and the ministers of the Ryugu Palace stood on both sides.
They briefed Whitebeard on some recent situations at the Ryugu Palace and provided details about the backgrounds of Van der Decken IX and Hody Jones.
Certainly, aside from the Fishman Island's current situation, Neptune also elaborated on the relationship between the Fishman Island and humans.
"Mr. Whitebeard, my wife, Princess Otohime, dedicated herself to achieving peaceful coexistence between fishmen and humans. While there were great result, she was tragically assassinated"
"Nowadays, pirates like Hody Jones have been gradually influencing many fishmen. They instill both fear and extreme hatred towards humans"
"I want to change all of this, but my strength is limited. I hope you can help me"
Neptune pleaded earnestly with Whitebeard. Faced with the king's request, Whitebeard readily agreed, as it should be.
"Your thoughts are very good. I've indeed heard about the cruel actions humans have done against fishmen. It's normal for some feelings of hatred to be born in such an environment"
"Getting rid of hatred isn't the solution; instead, I'll make sure to protect Fishman Island from harm by other humans"
"I believe that with time, all fishmen will be able to rebuild trust in humans"
Whitebeard said confidently. He remembered that upon his arrival, he saw numerous fishmen welcoming him, a sight that strengthened his belief.
However, he acknowledged that this welcome could be attributed to his strength and status, or seen as a form of assistance in times of crisis.
Yet, Whitebeard is confident that with Fishman Island under his protection, there won't be any disturbances in the future. Simultaneously, humans won't dare harm the fishmen recklessly.
Hearing this, Neptune and the ministers couldn't help but feel grateful towards Whitebeard.
"Whitebeard-sama, thank you for your actions, and once again, thank you for personally visiting Fishman Island!"
Neptune exclaimed.
"Let's talk about that later. You mentioned earlier that the other pirate disrupting the order is Hody Jones, right? Take me directly to deal with him first'
Whitebeard instructed.
"But didn't Fukaboshi mention that Hody Jones was involved in a conspiracy? Van Der Decken currently under interrogation, so it might be better to wait"
The left ministers suggested.
"Guurarara, don't worry too much. With me here, nothing will happen to you or Fishman Island"
Whitebeard just laughed hearing what the Left minister said.
At this time, Fukaboshi also finished the interrogation and rushed over immediately.
Fukaboshi seemed to be a little anxious. He immediately said to everyone after he came: "Just now, Van der Decken IX explained that Hodie Jones has two plans."
"What plan?" Neptune asked immediately
"He plans to provoke Big Mom against Whitebeard-sama, and at the same time, he want to destroy the bubble film around Fishman Island"
Fukaboshi stated solemnly.
"What?" Everyone present, except for Whitebeard, was shocked after hearing this news.
They aren't concerned about taking advantage of Whitebeard against Big Mom since he made it clear earlier that he is not afraid of Big Mom in the slightest.
However, destroying the bubble film of Fishman Island is a bit dangerous. Once the huge bubble film is destroyed, the entire Fishman Island will be in danger.
"This is terrible; he must be stopped!" Neptune said firmly.
"Indeed, this person's ideas are too dangerous. He wants to destroy the bubble film of Fishman Island, which is also his home"
Minister Right also said in shock while eyes wide open.
"No, that guy doesn't see this as his home; he just wants to vent his hatred. But I'm very curious about what power he has to destroy these things"
Minister Left added after some thought.
Thinking about this, Neptune also recognized the problem. Hodie Jones is just a fishman. While fishman are strong in fishman karate, he doesn't have any Devil Fruit abilities.
If he wants to destroy the massive bubble surrounding the island, it's simply a fantasy.
"Perhaps he wants to use Big Mom's power?"
Minister Right speculated.
"Don't overthink it. Take me to Hodie Jones' location immediately. I'll deal with it directly"
Whitebeard said directly, unbothered by their discussion.
Listening to these people's boring speculations, Whitebeard also felt bored. For him, instead of spending time speculating, he could directly solve the problem.
"In that case, Fukaboshi, take Whitebeard-sama to Hodie Jones location. Be careful"
Neptune instructed.
"Yes." As soon as Fukaboshi agreed, a girl's voice came in.
"Wait, let me join too!"
Shirahoshi shouted as she rode on Megalo into the main hall. Despite Shirahoshi's huge size, the Ryugu Palace was spacious enough to accommodate her.
"Shirahoshi, my daughter, why are you here? Shouldn't you be resting?"
Neptune asked with concern.
"Father, I'm okay. I was just a bit bored, so I wanted to come and have a look. There's no danger anymore"
Shirahoshi said to Neptune in a carefree tone.
Afterwards, Shirahoshi turned her gaze towards Whitebeard, acting somewhat like a child. "Whitebeard, why haven't you been looking for me for such a long time? I had to come to you"
"Guurarara." Whitebeard laughed, thinking it's only been a few hours.
"Since I'm going out, I'll stay with you. It just so happens that I haven't been out for a long time, hehe"
Shirahoshi said with a hopeful expression.
"Daughter, the Hodie Jones Pirates are very dangerous. What if you get injured if you go?"
Neptune expressed his concern.
"Yes, Princess Shirahoshi, your safety is very important for Fishman Island!"
The ministers left and right also urged Shirahoshi with concern.
However, Shirahoshi appeared determined, like a stubborn and willful child who wouldn't listen to anyone's advice.
"No, I'm going to be with Whitebeard. He will protect me, won't he?"
Shirahoshi said, blinking cutely at Whitebeard.
Whitebeard found himself a bit helpless under the gaze of those beautiful eyes.
"Well, as long as you behave, you can come along," Whitebeard said with some sight.
Seeing that Whitebeard agreed, Neptune and the others stopped saying anything.
"Shirahoshi, you must listen to Whitebeard-sama and not cause him any trouble, okay?"
Neptune advised seriously
"I get it, Father-sama, you're so awkward"
Shirahoshi said, sticking out her tongue.
