Chapter 158 Severe Warning
Robin did not follow them to the Dragon Palace, but in accordance with the instructions of Ross, she went to find the Poneglyph stone monunt of the Fishman Island and Law and Laffitte did not co, so there is only Ross in the main hall.
Not long after, a male rmaid wearing a crown ca in.
“His Highness Neptune.”
When Jinbe saw the other party co in, he imdiately saluted him. Although he was Seven Warlords of the Sea and the leader of the Fishman Island today, he was still very respectful to the Royal family.
“You don’t need to be so formal, Jinbe.”
Neptune looked at Jinbe with a laugh and said, “You haven’t been to Dragon Palace for a long ti.”
As he said, he turned to look at Ross and said: “Thank you Lord Ross for saving Otohi, I have already made people prepare a banquet, please be sure to accept my thanks.”
“It was nothing, how is his Highness Otohi?”
Ross asked Neptune.
Neptune laughed and said, “It’s nothing serious, but she was rushing out to find you and was stopped by . She’ll co back later.”
“She is injured, she needs to rest. I’ll stay in the Dragon Palace for a while. By the way, the tea here is very good.” Ross said with a slight smile.
Jinbe saw Ross co to Dragon Palace and nothing happened. Neptune appeared very calm and his heart gradually eased down.
However, he still does not trust that Ross who is staying in the Dragon Palace, so he requests Neptune to stay in the Dragon Palace, and Neptune naturally agreed.
……
A few days later.
In the huge garden of Dragon Palace, Princess Shirahoshi, a six-year-old rmaid, is sitting on a lawn next to the Poneglyph stone that has been found and moved here by Robin.
Although Robin prefers things like Cerberus in the Florian Triangle sea, but Shirahoshi’s appearance is still very easy to the eyes, plus she is the body of the ancient weapon Sea King Poseidon so Robin keeps close contact with her and Shirahoshi soon started calling her ‘Sister Robin’.
On the other side.
The princess, Otohi, was wearing a bandage on her shoulder and she looked almost recovered.
Two days ago, she learned the news from Sabaody Archipelago. Ross has killed a tenryubito and left in a fierce battle with Marine Admiral. Her heart was shocked. Not only she, but Neptune and Jinbe were also shocked. It was unexpected that Ross had made such a big event!
“That tenryubito, are you going to kill him, too? Doing so will only incessantly infuriate the World Governnt, and it doesn’t make any sense…”
Otohi tried to persuade Ross.
Ross calmly responded: “I don’t intend to kill him now, but to make the World Governnt angry, that’s the point in itself. How can it be said that it doesn’t make sense?”
Otohi’s tone of voice was stagnant as Ross’s attitude was more than that of the fish-n in the Sun Pirates. She could not help but show a complicated look and did not know how to persuade him anymore.
Just then Ross turned to her and said, “You’re going to save Tenryubito and get a vote from him for the migration of the fish-n to shore.”
“Ugh?”
Otohi was shocked as her intentions were completely exposed to Ross. She was trying to retort a little. Not only did she was unable to persuade him, but she heard Ross’s voice suddenly beco a little solemn.
Ross stared at her and said calmly and profoundly, “Don’t think too much about equality, Otohi.”
“Even if you get the signature of a tenryubito and the consent of all the fish-n, can you guarantee that the human attitude towards the fish-n and rmaids will be the sa as yours?”
“This……”
Otohi is stunned.
Ross continued in a cold voice: “Don’t say anything like ‘You believe that humans and fish-n can understand each other’. Before you have absolute strength to ensure the safety of your people, letting them go ashore is tantamount to burying the whole Fishman Island!”
Otohi fell into silence, Ross’s words pierced her heart sharply, like a slap in the face, piercing the part she had been reluctant to think about.
Yes.
Even if fish-man and rmaids can accept peaceful coexistence with human beings, can humans do it? Maybe, but she can’t guarantee it and that will be danf=gerous for her people.
In Ross’s previous words, thinking of Equality and Coexistence is too much.
“But your Fishman Island is not completely powerless, Jinbe’s strength needn’t say much, Shirahoshi’s ability is also extraordinary.”
Ross’s words slowed down as he turned to look at Shirahoshi and galo playing with Robin in the distance with a faint smile.
“Shirahoshi?”
When Otohi heard Ross’s words, she slightly startled. Ross ntioned Jinbe’s strength and It’s easy to understand. After all, he is one of the Seven Warlords of the Sea. But Shirahoshi’s ability made her think she had heard sothing wrong. What ability can a six-year-old rmaid Princess have?
Ross does not intend to hide anything from Otohi as Shirahoshi’s ability will awaken sooner or later. Instead of exposing her to an unconscious awakening, it is better to let Otohi shelter Shirahoshi in advance.
“The Fishman island should have had a legend, there will be a princess who will be born here once in a while who would have the power to communicate and command every Sea King in the sea…”
Ross said, pausing for a mont and in Otohi’s astonished eyes, he said gently, “Yes, Shirahoshi is that princess.”
“!!!”
Otohi looked a little shocked and incredible at Shirahoshi in the distance. She could not believe Ross’s words, but Ross obviously had no need to deceive her.
“But Shirahoshi, she…”
“Before, when you were in danger, her ability almost imdiately awakened, but I stopped it. It’s better not to expose it.”
Ross interrupted Otohi, turned to her and said, “How to protect Shirahoshi? I don’t need to say much about it. You know the aning of that power very well.”
Otohi’s forehead overflowed with a trace of perspiration.
She glanced at Shirahoshi deeply and nodded slowly.
“So instead of collecting aningless signatures, it’s your responsibility to protect Shirahoshi, because it’s not just about the safety of Fishman Island, it’s about the whole world.”
Ross slowly told Otohi.
He didn’t say anything and later overthrew the empty words of World Governnt to the status of the Fishman’s Island. Although his current identity enables him to say such things, it is not necessary.
He just needed to wake Otohi up and tell her Shirahoshi’s ability, and she will know what she should do. She was blinded by her kindness and peaceful coexistence.
As for whether he will use the power of Shirahoshi in the future, it is not within his consideration.
That is the future, at least not until he becos a ‘Yonkō (Four Emperors)’.
