Pirates: Steel Chain Fingers

What Victor needs to do in the next stage is to successively recruit well-known bounty hunters from the four major seas, and use them as a starting point to gradually gather bounty hunters from the seas.

It was purely an accident to meet Byron, the 'universal instrument', on Murloc Island at this time, but this did not prevent Victor from making early plans. He happily paid the 4 million Berries for drinks on Byron's behalf. The latter weighed the difference in strength between himself and the king Shichibukai, and happily dismissed the unrealistic idea of ​​sneaking away.

"Oh... what a generous guest." After Madam Xia received the drink bill, her cold smile became a little warmer. "Should I charge more just now?"

"Unfortunately, he is worth 4 million Berries at most." Ignoring Byron's resentful expression, Victor smiled and said the words that pierced his heart, "I didn't come here to drink a sip of expensive coffee, Charlie lady."

"Oh, I'm calling you old~ You can just call me Xia Li." Mrs. Xia Li laughed wildly. What are you doing here, little brother?"

"Divination." Victor smiled slightly, "I want you to do a divination for me."

"What a tasteless answer..." Mrs. Xia Li's smile was a little cold. "I'm tired of things like divination. And..."

She took out a water pipe, took a puff and then spit out a string of bubbles, tilted her head and said, "What are you going to use to pay for the divination fee?"

Victor placed his index finger on the shell table, his dull voice perfectly matched Madam Sharley's heartbeat, and the gentle voice lingered in her ears, "I will keep the Fishman Island safe for the next week. Of course , including your safety."

"You..." Mrs. Xia Li stared blankly at Victor's confident face, and originally wanted to say something sarcastic, but swallowed it back. She lost interest all of a sudden, waved her hand and said, "The drinks are all free this time. I'm tired. I'll go back and rest for a while. I'll leave it to you girls."

After speaking, she swayed her black-finned fish tail and returned to the back room.

Byron was terrified in his heart, and he said that the toughness of this person's mind was simply amazing, and he was merciless in the face of a beautiful woman like Mrs. Sharley, as if he had cut off his adolescence directly. Is it feminine?

Wu Hongji looked at Victor worriedly, but the latter was drinking the expensive cup of coffee very calmly, neither saying anything to keep Mrs. Xia Li nor showing that she was about to leave.

Not long after, the door of the back room was suddenly pushed open.

Mrs. Xia Li rushed out of the back room with cold sweat and a terrified expression, her cold blue eyes stared at Victor. After a long time, she asked with difficulty, "...when?"

Victor put the coffee cup back on the table, showing a gentle smile, "If there is no accident, it will be in these few days."

"... Then a week later. Close the store and see off the customers!" Mrs. Xia Li took a deep look at Victor, then turned around and returned to the back room, slamming the door.

Although the mermaid girls were a little overwhelmed, they still followed Mrs. Xiali's instructions and sent Victor and his party out of the coffee shop with apologies. Of course, Byron was also included.

Outside the coffee shop is the main road of Coral Hill. Robin stopped a large fish taxi, and the group sat in the large bubble on the back of the fish taxi, heading towards the location agreed with Haoxue.

"Victor, why did that Madam Xia agree later?" Wu Hongji asked curiously in the fish taxi.

"Beautiful lady, please let me answer this question." Byron sat cross-legged on the seat and adjusted the strings of the lute, and said, "Madame Sharley is a well-known figure in Fishman Island. Very good at it. When she was very young, she once said [there will be many pirates on the island]. As a result, the "Great Pirate Era" began in the second year. There are countless similar stories, and the most recent one is "Pandwal The War] and the [Magical Valley Town Event] were all hit by her. But because all the unfortunate things have come true, she herself is a little tired of divination. Oh, these are all those enthusiastic mermaid girls told me. "

As he said that, he glanced at Victor, "If I'm not mistaken, I'm afraid she couldn't help divination when she returned to the back room, and then saw that a terrible event was about to happen, so she agreed to the deal with the boss."

The character entered very quickly, and it started to call the boss very smoothly.

At this time, the crowd below the fish taxi began to surge, and people rushed to tell each other, shouting "Miss Otohime is going to give a speech again!!"

"Is it for [that]?"

"It should be... Let's go and have a look."

People seemed to have taken it for granted, and left in twos and threes without even asking where the speech was.

"Hey? They seem to be used to it?" Perona looked at the crowd below in surprise. "The Otohime lady they are talking about is the one who arrived at the Fishman Island one step earlier than us?"

"Otohime is very much loved by the residents of this island. She is committed to promoting the integration of [Mishman Island] and [Human World]. She treats everyone very gently and is called a 'kind person'." Byron also leaned out He turned his head and glanced down, "The speech location should be [Giron Cod Square] in the center of Fishman Island. I heard that Otohime will go there to give speeches every time."

Victor thought for a while and made a decision, "After meeting with Mr. Hoxue, let's go there and have a look."

The fish taxi continues to head towards the [Fish People Culture Hall] in the southeast of Fishman Island.

……………………

Fishman Island, Geelong Coed Plaza.

"...In other words, a word from the nobles of the world can exert a powerful force even in the "World Conference" of the meeting of kings!"

On the square, Princess Otohime stood on the podium and tried to persuade the residents of Murloc Island

"So, we need more signatures that represent the true will of everyone! Please express your will to coexist with human beings, and your will to migrate to land..."

The audience was silent, as always. Princess Otohime lowered her hands holding the autograph box high with a desolate expression. This is already the best chance, is there still no hope?

At this time, several murloc children ran to the stage and put the signature sheets in their hands into the box.

Princess Otohime asked both happily and anxiously, "The children... are you here to make me happy again? Will you stop talking about taking it back?"

"No more! Mom said I want to sign too!" the children shouted happily.

People in the square came to the stage enthusiastically, competing to put their autograph slips into boxes. The small autograph box soon overflowed, just like the tears in Princess Otohime's eyes.

"His Highness Otohime! Such a small box is not enough to hold it. How many people do you think our country has?" The residents all laughed in good faith.

The guards brought a bigger autograph box, and Princess Otohime, who was so touched and howled, was persuaded by the ministers to leave the podium amid the cheers and cheers of the residents, and reunited with the long-awaited prince and princess.

After seven years, Otohime's good intentions finally bear fruit on this day.

In a corner of the square, Victor and Haoxue were standing in the corner quietly watching this heated scene.

"Victor, is there something wrong?" Hoxue was also very moved at first, but he noticed Victor's frown.

"...Mr. Hoxue, the murloc's hatred for humans has not been completely resolved." Victor shook his head, "Fisher Tiger is a great murloc, but his death has a huge impact on the relationship between the murloc and humans." The relationship has created an almost irreparable rift. And everyone, including Princess Otohime, seems to be ignoring this."

"But...everyone's reaction was overwhelming!" Hoxue murmured incredulously, "Wait a minute...you mean?"

"Yes, Murloc Street." Victor looked up at the extralegal place in the distant sky that was independent of Murloc Island, "Murloc Street has been separated from Murloc Island for too long, it is the best breeding ground for [hatred] .[Resentment] is constantly accumulating and expanding in the unfathomable and lawless gully on the bottom of the sea. My 'Apocalypse', in that distant dark place, only saw the infinite breeding of 【Hatred】 and 【Resentment】."

Others may think that Victor's words are illusory, but Haoxue knows how terrifying the special knowledge and domineering nature of Victor is, and he really [sees] it!

"Princess Otohime may have noticed this. But this time the opportunity is so good, so she has to mobilize the people first." Victor sighed, "Perhaps she wanted to collect as many signatures as possible from the residents first, Wait until the long-cherished wish is achieved at the World Conference, and then slowly resolve the grievances of Murloc Street from within."

"Isn't it good to do this?" Haoxue was very puzzled.

"Those [grudges] lurking in the dark will not allow her to succeed. When the list collection process enters the final stage, that is also the moment when everyone's mentality is most unguarded. At that time, [grudges] will definitely wait for an opportunity And move!"

There was cold sweat on Haoxue's forehead, and she said slowly, "You mean Princess Otohime will be assassinated? But, she also has a natural sense of domineering..."

"If the emotions fluctuate violently, knowledge and knowledge will not unfold smoothly. You should be very clear about this, Mr. Hoxue. However, please rest assured that since we are friends, I will not just sit idly by. We will go tonight Dragon Palace City!"

Victor looked at the signature box on the high platform of the square in the distance, with a leisurely tone

"I will not let the [hope] of the murlocs be ruined here."
