One Piece: General Xuanming, Defeat the New World

"Reporting to the lieutenant general, we are about to reach Fishman Island!"

In the deep sea, nearly 10,000 meters below the sea level, in front of the Aegis Eternal, a point of light appeared in the dark sea, and then the light spot quickly expanded, and the outline of the city was clearly visible.

In the distance, at the root of the "sacred tree", a huge town is built against the sacred tree. Colorful lights flicker freely in the deep seabed, just like a fairy tale world in the legend.

In the deep underwater town, there is a scorching sun hanging high in the sky, casting sunlight and the seeds of life.

Among the streets, countless fishmen and mermaids wandering around, the luxurious palace of Dragon Palace City is particularly moving, a thousand times more beautiful than the imperial palace in mythology.

"Lieutenant General, there are two layers of film protecting the outside of Fish-Man Island. These two layers of film are also another barrier of Fish-Man Island. Together with the Sea King's nest outside Fish-Man Island, they protect the safety of Fish-Man Island."

"According to records, foreign ships can only enter Fishman Island smoothly under the guidance of the Fishman with the consent of Fishman Island."

"On the other hand, if we force our way in without permission, the moment the ship touches the outer membrane, the membrane wrapping the ship will instantly break and merge into the barrier of Fishman Island."

"In this ten thousand meter deep sea, without the protection of the outer coating, no matter how sturdy the ship is, it will be shattered under the pressure of the deep sea, and the entire ship will be destroyed."

"The inner membrane of Fishman Island serves to isolate it from the seawater, so the inner area of ​​Fishman Island is actually the same as land."

"The sunlight of Fishman Island is transported by the sacred tree through its roots, projecting the sunlight above the sea level to the bottom of the sea, providing sunlight and living space for the residents of Fishman Island."

"..."

Seeing the wonders ahead, Navigator Sit stood on the deck and explained the basic geology and natural environment of Fishman Island to Carsent, Anna and others.

"How magical! A tree that can transmit sunlight. How could such a tree exist?"

Looking at the huge branches in front of him, there seemed to be little stars twinkling in Gion's eyes.

While everyone was talking, the warship was about to approach the outer membrane of Fishman Island.

"King Neptune of Fishman Island leads the guards of Ryugu City to welcome the arrival of Navy Commander Xuanming. Please follow the instructions in front and enter Fishman Island!"

A respectful and loud voice was heard, and then a slowly moving spot of light appeared on the film, guiding the Aegis Eternal to enter Fishman Island.

……

After the warship stopped, Carsente put on the coat of justice and walked down the stairs first, while Anna Gion and others followed closely behind him, and the team was in order.

"Lieutenant General Xuanming, I am Neptune, the king of Fishman Island!"

Below, Neptune had been waiting for a long time with the guards behind him. When he saw Carsent get off the boat, he came up to greet him with a smile.

"Hello King Neptune, I am Carsente."

Don't hit a smiling person. Seeing Neptune being so respectful, Carsent also smiled, waved his hand, and bowed slightly.

In any case, the status of the king of a member country of the World Government is nominally equivalent to that of a navy admiral. Although not many people care about this title anymore, it is still brought out for show in formal diplomatic occasions.

As Neptune was so aware of the situation, Carsent did not mind treating him with courtesy and giving him due respect.

Of course, if Neptune doesn't know what's good for him, then Carsen also knows a little bit of martial arts. As the saying goes, "If you don't learn etiquette, you can't stand!", this is the truth.

(If you are rude to me, I will beat you so hard that you can't stand here!)

"Lieutenant General Xuanming, please follow me. A sumptuous banquet has been set up in Dragon Palace City to welcome the arrival of all the naval commanders!"

Neptune half bent over and pointed the way forward.

"Hahaha, King Neptune, you're too polite."

"How can we not have a greeting gift when we first meet?"

"Someone, ask those fish-man friends to go home!"

Carsen waved his hand gently, and the two marines behind him turned around and returned to the warship. Soon, seven merman girls slowly swam out of the warship.

"Fish-Man Island! It's Fish-Man Island! We're home!"

"Yeah yeah, we're home!!"

The originally timid mermaid girl was so excited when she saw the familiar scene that she instantly exploded in her heart. After rubbing her eyes again and again to make sure that it was not an illusion, she cheered excitedly.

Two lines of tears slowly flowed down her flawless face.

"King Neptune, these are the mermaid girls captured by slave traders these days. Today the navy will send them back home!"

Seeing Neptune's slightly puzzled look, Carsen explained with a smile.

"Oh...good, good, that's great!"

"This is a precious friendship. On behalf of the captured mermaids and their relatives and friends, I would like to thank Lieutenant General Xuanming for his great kindness!"

After understanding what was going on and seeing the grateful eyes of the mermaids, King Neptune bowed deeply to express his sincere gratitude.

As the king of Fishman Island, Neptune knew very well what kind of hellish experience these mermaid girls who were captured by slave traders and brought back to the surface would have.

The kings of the Mermaid Tribe of all generations were well aware of these things, but because the Mermaid Tribe was too weak, they could only repeatedly warn the mermaids not to go to the sea unless it was absolutely necessary, and it was best not to leave the Mermaid Island at all.

You know, even the most ordinary female merman can be sold for more than 80 million Beli. If it is a young and beautiful female merman, it may be sold for more than 500 million Beli.

This price is definitely enough for one person, or even an entire pirate group, to live a prosperous life. With such huge profits, there is no shortage of desperate people who would take risks.

Seeing the state of these mermaids, Neptune knew that these people should not have been tortured, but were just frightened.

And now, Carson's actions are equivalent to saving at least seven families.

More importantly, Carsent's actions revealed the Navy's goodwill and friendship towards Fishman Island.

"If we can get the help of the navy, maybe we can really change the current situation of Fishman Island..."

Neptune thought secretly in his heart, and Carsent's image in Neptune's mind was elevated to a higher level.

"Merciful Lieutenant General Xuanming, Fishman Island will give you enough return for this kindness. Please follow me to Ryugu City. The sumptuous banquet has been set up and is waiting for the arrival of the most distinguished guest."

Neptune extended the invitation again.

If the previous politeness was based on fear and the situation, then Neptune's words at this time contained more gratitude and expectation.
