The Laughing Clown in Pirate

Outside the steel city wall forged by the people of Fishman Street, Mermaid General Sharktooth, whose upper body was wrapped in blood-stained bandages, was commanding the entire Mermaid Guard to construct fortifications when he received a phone call from his subordinates.

As the general of the Mermaid Guards, Shark Tooth has the power and responsibility to take emergency measures to deal with this sudden rebellion, but the next step must be ordered by the king.

What measures to take to deal with this rebellion, whether to suppress it first and then negotiate, or negotiate first and then suppress it, all depends on the will of Neptune, the king of Fishman Island.

Shark Tooth pressed the button on the red phone bug. The call would connect to the communication corridor of Dragon Palace City, and a dedicated liaison officer would hand the phone bug over to His Majesty the King.

"I am General Sharktooth of the Mermaid Guards. I have urgent military information to report to His Majesty the King. Please send the phone bug to His Majesty as soon as possible!"

"Yes, General Sharktooth!"

On the Dragon Palace City side, the liaison officer held the phone bug on a red silk down cushion and swam toward the Ryugu City Council Hall.

Normally at this time, His Majesty the King and Queen Otohime would be walking in the back garden of the palace, but these days King Neptune and Queen Otohime have been in the meeting hall.

The communication corridor is relatively close to the meeting hall, and the liaison officer quickly arrived at the door of the meeting hall.

Different from the past, the always-open golden door inlaid with pearls and decorated with coral was tightly closed. The people guarding both sides of the door were not mermaid guards holding spears, but two humans wearing white suits.

"He who comes, stop!" The white suit stretched out his right hand to stop the liaison officer from moving forward.

"I am the liaison officer of Dragon Palace City. Here is the emergency phone number for His Majesty the King!" The liaison officer said and was about to go in, but was still blocked by the arms stretched out in white suits.

"Give me the phone and I'll send it in!" the white suit said coldly.

"This is a call to His Majesty the King! It's an urgent military situation! You have no right to stop me from entering!" the liaison officer said loudly and in a fierce tone.

If the person who stopped him and asked him to transfer the call was a mermaid guard, then he would naturally do so, but now the person stopping him is a human!

"That's right!" The white suit was silent for a moment.

When the liaison officer thought he would be put in, the white suit knocked him unconscious and took the phone bug from the liaison officer's hand.

"This disgusting fishy smell!" The man in the white suit took out the white handkerchief from his chest in disgust, wiped the palms stained with the fishy smell, and at the same time handed the phone bug to his colleague.

After carefully checking that there were no dangerous items such as bombs on the phone bug, the white suit opened the golden door and sent the phone bug in.

"Sir, regarding the mermaids moving to land..."

In the meeting hall, King Neptune sat silently aside, while Princess Otohime smiled softly and talked softly with the bald old man in a dark green suit in front of her.

The entry of cp0 caught the attention of the bald old man. He stretched out his hand to signal Princess Otohime to stop talking and turned his attention to the white suit.

"What's up?"

"Sir, this is a call to the Mermaid King, saying it's an emergency military situation." CP0 replied.

The bald old man pondered for a moment and twirled his beard, which he had burned off a year ago and had grown until now.

"Neptune, since this is your call, just answer it!" The bald old man turned his face slightly and signaled CP0 to hand the phone to Neptune.

So, cp0 walked up to the king of the fishman country, straightened up and handed the phone bug to him.

This arrogant attitude made Neptune furious, but he could only suppress his anger.

"Is it your Majesty?"

"It's me, tell me, General."

"Today, following your order, I discovered the criminals of the Sun Pirates in Square 1 and started a fierce battle with them."

"But their resistance was fierce and unscrupulous. Although we always had the upper hand, we were still unable to arrest them!"

"My incompetence allowed them to flee into Fishman Street, and incited the fishmen in Fishman Street to launch a rebellion!"

"What are you talking about?" Neptune suspected that he heard wrongly.

"The Fishmen Street is in rebellion, Your Majesty!"

The voice of the phone bug can be heard by everyone.

When the bald old man heard this, he raised the corners of his mouth and looked at Neptune mockingly.

"They disobeyed your orders, protected the Sun Pirates from criminals, and gathered force to resist the Royal Army."

"Impossible!" Neptune said firmly: "Although Fishmen Street is inhabited by fishmen, it doesn't mean that..."

"Your Majesty, the steel train they built in secret is placed in front of the mermaid escort. The artillery and spears they confiscated from the pirates are facing our soldiers."

"There is no reason, they have no reason to rebel!"

On the other end of the phone, Shark Tooth saw that the soldiers he sent to negotiate were kicked out, and Mo Brown, standing on the steel train, was giving an impassioned speech to incite the crowd.

For example, the king acquiesced to the illegal activities of pirates gathered in Mermaid Street, and the royal army turned a blind eye to the crimes in Mermaid Street, did nothing, and persecuted the heroic Sun Pirates of Mermaid Island...

For reasons that the king could not see, the rebels in Fishman Street had been denouncing them for an hour.

"They demand changes to the special policies of Fishman Street, regional autonomy, and the cancellation of the kingdom's wanted order for the Sun Pirates, Your Majesty."

‘Changing economic policies, regional autonomy, delusions!’ Neptune frowned.

Fishman Island is like a huge fish tank located under the Red Earth Continent, it is naturally closed.

Because humans discriminate against murlocs, all its trade relies on illegal traders and pirates.

All pirates who go to the New World will first spend most of their wealth in the gold-selling cave in the Shampoo Islands, and then spend a wave of money on Fish-Man Island. Often when they sail out of Fish-Man Island, there will be no one left on the ship.

Bailey.

Because coming to Fish-Man Island requires experiencing fierce currents of 10,000 meters under the sea, ships generally need to be overhauled or even scrapped. Many pirates even stayed in Fish-Man Street because they could not afford the cost of repairing their ships.

Changing the economic policy of Fishman Street will destroy the foreign economic and trade of Fishman Island. Once the Fishman Street region becomes autonomous, those tough fishmen will undoubtedly have fierce battles with the pirates after being legally armed.

By then, the pirates will no longer be forced to stay in Fishman Street due to pressure from the king's army.

"Can't those fish people endure for Fish-Man Island? When Fish-Man Island is strong enough, I will naturally become tough on the pirates."

As for canceling the wanted order against the Sun Pirates...

Neptune glanced at the old man sitting An Ran on the seat and the white suit waiting behind him with his peripheral vision.

"Your Majesty, Your Majesty?"

The shark tooth on the other end of the phone whispered, awakening Neptune from his deep thoughts.

"I have started building fortifications outside Fishman Street, and offensive artillery and bombs are also being transported to Fishman Street."

"Order, Your Majesty!"

Order?

Order to suppress the rebellion.

This was the first time in Neptune's life that he had experienced this. His father had experienced it more often, three times.

The largest one was a year before his father died of illness. A fish-man pirate group that had gained fame along the Grand Line was completely destroyed after that battle.

To this day, Neptune still dreams from time to time about the scene where the previous king, his father, held his hand and walked through the streets of flesh and blood fishmen.

The land in Yumen Street was colorful that day. The most common colors were naturally bright red and moss green. Corrupted flesh and blood turned black. Unknown mushrooms and microorganisms multiplied on it, which turned out to be pale yellow and blue. The stumps and internal organs

They were roughly swept along both sides of the street and piled up into mountains of flesh, with dense sea worm larvae crawling in their muscles and fat.

The slightly intact corpses of the rebels were salted and hung on both sides of the street.

They lowered their heads, staring at the living with eyes as white as dead fish, emitting an unbearable stench.

"If those people turn their guns on their king, then from that moment on, the king no longer needs to regard them as his own people."

"The royal power is inviolable. If you turn your guns on your own king's rebellion, you must pay the price with blood." "Only blood can consolidate the royal power."

On the eve of the counter-rebellion, the former king once said this to the young Neptune in his study.

Neptune has always believed that he was a good king, ranking among the top among the previous kings of Fish-Man Island.

He firmly sealed off pirates and illegal trade in Fishman Street, making the sunny places on the upper floors of Fishman Island prosperous and stable.

While establishing a good relationship with the World Government, he also planted the flag of Whitebeard, and used the name Whitebeard to frighten the lawless pirates.

Fish-Man Island is rich in products, has a prosperous economy and trade, and is well-versed in diplomacy. Neptune has relied on his own strength to gain the reputation of a sea knight.

Even a year ago, Fisher Tiger, the captain of the Sun Pirates, asked Neptune, his king, for instructions before boarding Mariejoia.

Improving entry requirements, expanding the royal army, making good friends with the fish-man hero Fisher Tiger, and even recruiting fish-men into the guard are all Neptune's efforts to ease the conflict between the mer-people and the fish-men.

But when things got to this point, Neptune could only make up his mind.

As his father said, royal power cannot be violated.

He opened his mouth and gave the order slowly and firmly.

"General, the Minister of State will go to Fishman Street for final negotiations with the rebels in Fishman Street. During the negotiations, do not give up on your preparations to suppress the rebellion. If the negotiations fail, I give you permission to attack Fishman Street!"

"I will notify other escort teams to assemble in your direction. After the assembly is completed, they will be under your command!"

"At the same time, closely monitor the movements of other fish-man residential areas on Fish-Man Island."

"Your Majesty, are you worried about other fishmen giving support to Fishman Street?"

Neptune was silent for a moment and did not answer General Sharktooth's question.

"I believe that most of the people in Fishman Street were just temporarily bewitched by rebellion, so after the invasion, the soldiers were restrained not to cause too many casualties."

"Yes, Your Majesty!"

After hanging up the phone, Neptune turned to look at Wulaoxing with an inexplicable smile, and then at his nervous wife.

Later, the king of Fish-Man Island, Neptune, actively expressed his attitude.

"Sir, Fish-Man Island will definitely capture all the rebellious Sun Pirates for the World Government."

"The World Government will remember the contribution of Fish-Man Island." Wulaoxing paused for a moment and then said: "At the next world conference, Fish-Man Island will be on the list again."

After finishing speaking, Wu Laoxing turned to Princess Otohime and smiled.

"Madam, let's continue the topic we just talked about. I'm very interested in the concept of harmonious coexistence between humans and mermaids that you mentioned."
