One Piece: General Xuanming, Defeat the New World

Before coming, Tiger thought that this "Lieutenant General Xuanming" was just like all the humans in the past, a person with a nominal title.

But it wasn't until they faced each other face to face that Tiger realized how wrong he was.

Under the gaze of Carsent's calm eyes, Tiger felt as if the whole world was slowly sinking, and an invisible pressure enveloped him.

It was like being targeted by the most advanced predator. Every cell in the body was filled with fear and awe, and even moving the slightest bit seemed disrespectful.

Tiger knew that this was caused by the huge gap in strength. Unless they deliberately restrained their aura, the slightest aura of the strong would make the weak silent and worship them as if they were gods.

"Master Xuanming, what I just said was just to vent my anger on the pirates. Don't take it seriously."

Tiger lowered his head and explained what had just happened bit by bit.

"So that's how it is. I was wrong about you then."

Carson smiled softly. The purpose of his coming this time was to use his status to persuade the three people to retreat and transfer the conflict to himself, not to sincerely solve the problem.

Carsent is still very professional. Neptune has the courage to tie the entire Fishman Island and his family to him, and he doesn't mind helping Neptune to avoid trouble within his ability.

It doesn't matter what Tiger said specifically. What Carson wants is for Tiger to give in.

"That's it, but Tiger, the people around you don't seem to think so."

As he spoke, Carsente withdrew his pressure, and the fishman who was pinned to the ground crawled up in a panic, looking at Carsente with vicious eyes, but more of awe and fear.

These fishmen are not fools. They can make me unable to move with their will alone. This kind of enemy is not something I can deal with.

"All of you, apologize to Lieutenant General Xuanming!"

Tiger naturally understood what Carsen meant. He turned his head to look at the few people and scolded them fiercely, while his eyes were strongly hinting at them.

They have been brothers for more than ten years. Several fishmen around him understood Tiger's hint and spoke up.

"Well, Lieutenant General, I'm sorry, I just said it randomly, please don't take it to heart..."

"Yes, yes, yes, I didn't say anything, I didn't say anything..."

……

Standing aside, the Neptunes, who had personally witnessed the entire incident, were now filled with nothing but awe.

From scolding the World Government's special envoy at the beginning, to expelling the pirates with thunderous force, to having "friendly" exchanges with Tiger.

The originally unruly pirates and fishmen were like well-behaved kittens in front of Carsente. They simply believed whatever he said and did not dare to refute at all.

"This is the power that comes with strength..."

Neptune sighed deeply in his heart, and at the same time he became more and more satisfied with his decision to join Carsent.

After all, such a powerful backer is hard to come by in a century, and it is a great fortune to be able to meet one.

Maybe capital cannot bring power, but if you have the strength to dominate the world, even power will bow to you.

……

Seeing this, Carson nodded and looked indifferently at the several fishmen below.

"In that case, do you have anything else to say?"

"Sir Lieutenant General, our leader is here in person to invite you to visit Fishman Street. What do you think?"

Tiger told him the last thing his eldest brother told him before he left.

"can."

After the words fell, Tiger and his companions bowed respectfully and turned to leave.

"Master Xuanming, Yuren Street is not our enemy. I hope you can be more tolerant and show some mercy."

When Princess Otohime heard that Carsen was going to Fishman Street, she seemed to have thought of something and spoke softly.

After all, Princess Otohime also knew what these guys in Fishman Street were thinking on a daily basis. In order to avoid certain phenomena in Fishman Street from angering Carson and even involving Ryugu Castle or the entire Fishman Island, she simply described it in advance.

"I know my limits on this matter."

Carson nodded, but did not elaborate. After all, the complexity of Fishman Street was obviously not comparable to that of Dragon Palace City. The specific situation could only be known by seeing it with one's own eyes.

……

Not long after the conversation ended, the big brother (the leader) of Fishman Street, a strong shark-like fishman who was about forty years old, came respectfully and invited Carsent to go to Fishman Street.

Riding on the unique means of transportation of Fishman Island, the "Fishman Island Car" slowly drove out of Ryugu City and headed towards the Fishman Street in the distance.

Along the way, the prosperity of the buildings dropped sharply. From the golden and magnificent Dragon Palace City, to the elegant and solemn buildings around Dragon Palace City, to the ordinary bungalows outside, as the vehicle gradually moved away from Dragon Palace City, everything around seemed to be degenerating and becoming primitive little by little.

Driving out of the town, passing through the village, the vehicle finally slowly stopped at the entrance of Fishman Street.

Even though he already knew the situation in Fishman Street, Carsent couldn't help but remain silent for a moment when he saw the dire scene before him.

The entire Fishman Street is like a large slum, with low, messy houses and sheds scattered all over the street.

Narrow and uneven roads, dilapidated buildings, and old fishermen with confused and turbid eyes who are struggling to survive and spend the rest of their lives.

"Master Xuanming, the words used by Tiger and his companions just now may have been inappropriate. I apologize to you for their recklessness."

"More than 90% of these children, and even the children of the entire Fishman Street, are orphans and abandoned children. The main reason for the death of their parents is the various slave trades."

"I also heard about your conversation with His Majesty the day before yesterday. There may indeed not be many mermaids who were successfully sold, but there are countless mermen who died in the slave trade."

"These abandoned children were given a home by Yuren Street, but they also inherited this hatred invisibly."

"Countless hatreds are intertwined and entangled, forming the current situation of Fishman Street."

"Even I cannot stop this will. I can only guide and channel it as much as possible so that it does not inspire more intensified hatred."

The big brother from Yuman Street let out a long sigh.

"For every kid from Fishman Street, the happiest thing is to marry an ordinary girl, then leave Fishman Street and live an ordinary life."

"So after these children get married, they will be driven out of Fishman Street. Watching the children grow up and leave here is the happiest time for me."

"And happiness and love are the only way to dilute this hatred."
