One Piece: General Xuanming, Defeat the New World

"No, but I have seen many humans passing through Fishman Island. Most of them are dissatisfied with the fishmen, and more than one-tenth of them hold grudges against them."

While Neptune was still racking his brains to figure out whether he had seen it or not, Princess Otohime had already given the answer.

"It's normal to be dissatisfied. Fishman Island is dominated by fishmen after all. These people came to a strange place and faced a ruler, a ruler of a foreign race. Naturally, they would not be in a good mood."

"Most of these people are holding grudges because of a long history of revenge. The fishmen on Fishman Island, their relatives or friends may have been persecuted by humans. Word of mouth has spread, and the lower-class people of the entire fishman tribe do not have a good attitude towards humans."

"And Fishman Island happens to be dominated by fishmen. If these fishmen want, they can embarrass outsiders at any time. This is not the main reason."

Carsent said calmly that this was very obvious. Not to mention mermaids and humans, even if people went from one town to another, if the destination was highly xenophobic, they would naturally suffer a lot of humiliation and inevitably feel resentment.

What's more, they are two races that dislike each other.

"If Princess Otohime meets the officials of the World Government in person, I believe she will understand that these people do not have any hatred towards Fishman Island."

"Even the entire human race's top leaders have never hated Fishman Island."

Carsent really found the word "hate" a little funny. If the Five Elders really hated Fishman Island, the fishmen would have turned into a group of roasted fish long ago and would not have the mind to think about this or that.

If two CP deputy chiefs sneak into Fishman Island, they can completely massacre the Fishman Island without damaging most of the buildings. If they "don't" have the Oblivion Fruit, the Fishman may not even notice that they are almost dead.

"If there is real hatred between the two tribes, then the problem will be easier to resolve."

"Princess Otohime has already understood that the conflict between the merfolk and humans is nothing more than the implementation of the slave trade. But I can tell you that among the slaves captured and sold every year, the number of merfolk is less than one percent."

"Among these slaves, humans account for more than 95% themselves. The main target of the slave trade is humans!"

"call……"

Having said that, Carsente let out a long sigh, giving Princess Otohime and King Neptune some time to think.

Upon hearing this, Princess Otohime's eyes widened, and her blue eyes were filled with incredible surprise.

Facing Neptune's puzzled look, Otohime shook her head gently, then nodded.

(Translation: I can’t hear your inner voice, but it should be the fact)

Otohime's observation Haki is still unable to penetrate Carsen's three colors of Haki and the protection of the Xuanwu Fruit and directly peek into Carsen's heart, but from his micro-expressions, Otohime also understood that what Carsen said was at least 80% correct.

This is exactly why Princess Otohime was so shocked. After all, over the years, Princess Otohime has been treating the human leaders as imaginary enemies and thinking about solutions.

But it turns out that this was just a coincidence. The human race has never taken the merfolk seriously?

"The average price of a fishman girl is 300 million berries, which is why slave traders would risk their lives to capture fishmen."

"The World Government has never targeted Fish-Man Island politically. On the contrary, the World Government will do its best to protect the interests of Fish-Man Island at every meeting."

Carson said lightly that especially at the level of the Five Elders, they have to pay attention to the situation of Fishman Island every now and then, for fear that Fishman Island will sink silently into the sea at any time.

"Except for Elbaf, the World Government's attitude towards other races is not much different, and the preferential treatment given to Fishman Island is already among the best."

King Neptune listened to Cassen's language. Although he understood every word, when put together they sounded like a language he had never seen before, and every sentence made his existing values ​​collapse.

"Isn't this better? Since the World Government is also interested in Fish-Man Island, then it would be easy to solve the problem of the Fish-Man tribe."

Before Neptune could say anything, the light of hope shone again in Princess Otohime's eyes.

After hearing what Princess Otohime said, Neptune rarely agreed. Instead, he frowned. He always felt that things were not that simple.

"Princess, the slave trade is illegal, and the current balance is slowly formed through the game of multiple parties. How does Princess Otohime want to solve this problem?"

"In other words, can Princess Otohime come up with a bargaining chip that will make the supporters behind the slave trade voluntarily back down?"

Princess Otohime is different from Saint Satan. There are some things that Kasente does not want to explain clearly to Princess Otohime.

To put it simply, humans are too lazy to pay attention to you. If they really wanted to argue with you, you would have died long ago.

"I destroy you, what does it have to do with you!" What happened to Fishman Island was completely an unconscious behavior of the human race, and it could not be called an unintentional act at all.

The human race's attitude towards Fish-man Island does not depend on Fish-man Island itself, but is completely swept up in other currents.

This is why it is extremely difficult for Fishman Island to change the current situation.

The group of guys who supported the slave trade were originally high-ranking officials of the World Government. They even had the shadow of the Celestial Dragon family. They were able to make the slave trade illegal in name. The Five Elders have been confronting these people for decades.

It is almost impossible to break this gradually stabilized balance again relying solely on Fishman Island.

Faced with Carsent's questioning, Princess Otohime fell into deep self-doubt and temporarily became autistic.

"Then what price will it cost if we just separate Fishman Island from the slave trade without breaking it?"

After all, Neptune's thinking was more rational. After some guidance, he finally understood what Carsen wanted to ask.

"To put it simply, it means to rely on a strong person, so that a strong person is willing to stand up for the fish people, or this strong person himself has a strong deterrent ability."

"You have to know that the World Government doesn't really care about the lives of these slave traders. You just have to withstand the revenge of the people behind them."

A smile appeared on Carsent's lips, like an experienced fisherman, releasing the bait little by little, slowly attracting the attention of the big fish Neptune.

"For example, Mr. Roger, a good friend of His Majesty the King, I wonder if King Neptune is willing to make a bet with me, that is, whether Roger is willing to face the edge of the navy for Fishman Island."

Carsen continued to smile and took out two photos.

In the photo, Neptune and Roger are having a great conversation and drinking from each other.

"Ah this..."

The moment Neptune saw the photo, his mind went blank.
