Chapter 192: The Overheaded Marshal
Skyler also reacted at this time. It seemed that his answer... was a bit like the theory of victim guilt, so he added: "I mean...
The concept of peace can infect many people, such as civilians and some high-ranking nobles, but... these people may never directly participate in the conflict between humans and fish-men throughout their lives.
Obtaining their recognition can only bring hope, but not real peace.
How should we move pirates, slave traders, those humans who buy merfolk and murlocs, those who go around destroying and committing evil acts? The conflict between humans and murlocs is not about the two species of humans and murlocs.
Rather, these people in the group, pirates and slave traders, plundered merfolk and murlocs, and then the murlocs took revenge, but the targets of their revenge were the same miserable civilians.
It seems like tit for tat, but the problem has not been solved. The mermaid was kidnapped and the murloc did not come back. The killed human being, his family and friends, will hate the murloc even more."
Skyler smelled the aroma of rice and vegetables in the air, swallowed, looked at the three people who fell silent, and continued: "But if you think differently, what if you could protect your own people from the beginning?
Without the mermaids, if the mermaids were kidnapped, you would not have to take revenge, and humans other than "criminals" would not hate you. Wouldn't this be peace?
Or do you hope that even those criminals will live in peace with you?
No one of the same race can live in complete peace, let alone two populations.”
Princess Otohime was silent for a long time, showed a forced smile, and said: "It's getting late, why don't we have a meal together."
Seeing Otohime's initiative to change the subject, Skyler had no intention of continuing to express her thoughts. After all, what she said was also a plan that was not very executable.
After all, it is impossible for the fish-men tribe to suddenly have a few strong men who can stop all enemies, and even if they start cultivating them from now on, they may not be able to cultivate them.
Moreover, even if we are lucky enough to cultivate such strong people, how can we make them accept the idea of only protecting but not attacking?
At the luncheon, both King Neptune and Princess Otohime had very low appetites. Only Skyler ate heartily, and the table full of dishes prepared by the Ryugu chef was not wasted.
After eating and drinking, Skyler said goodbye. Neptune and Otohime did not stop them anymore. After picking up the navy who had been invited to enter the Dragon Palace, the Zhanye detachment waved to the Mermaid Harbor.
The rescued mermaids and fishmen on the warship were all taken away, and a lot of supplies were replenished for Skyler's warship. Looking at Nurkic and others who had boarded the warship, Skyler said to Princess Otohime
:
"In fact, there is another way, and that is to legislate to make buying and selling something that is not allowed by the laws of the world government. It may not be able to stop everyone, but it can also greatly reduce the occurrence of tragedies.
And...if the legislation is really passed, our navy will have more reasons to crack down on pirates."
When Otohime heard this, there was a glimmer of light in her eyes. She nodded and said, "I understand. The next World Government Conference will be held in two years. I will prepare well for it."
Skyler smiled, looked at Jinbei, and said, "If there is a fishman general in the navy, your journey will probably be much easier."
Otohime and Neptune understood Skyler's hint and looked at Jinbei. Seeing that Jinbei's eyes were focused on him, he quickly said: "If I can help King Neptune and Princess Otohime, I am willing to go to the navy.
"
Seeing that Jinbe had no objection, Neptune was a little moved, but Princess Otohime said: "Jinbe, do what you want to do, do what makes you happy, and finally do what you should do.
You are still young, and I don’t want you to do things you don’t want to do and are unhappy with.
If you really want to go to the Navy, I don’t think Rear Admiral Schuyler will reject your companionship. If you don’t have the idea of becoming a navy for the time being, I believe Rear Admiral Schuyler won’t mind either.”
"To be honest, I mind." Skyler showed a smile and said, "But I will not accept someone who is not ready to be an enforcer of justice. It seems... we are destined to see you again."
After Skyler finished speaking, he turned around with great ease and grace, and boarded his warship with elegant steps.
Watching the warship leave the port, Jinbei lowered his head and said: "King Neptune, Princess Otohime, I'm sorry..."
"No need, I feel more at ease with you."
Neptune ended the conversation directly, and Princess Otohime also smiled and nodded to Jinbe, and then the two left on the whale. Jinbe stood there and looked at the warship moving away.
"Promise is with me...see you again when we are destined!"
After saying this silently in his mind, Jinbei calmed down, found his teammates, and started another round of patrol.
The warship had also sailed out of the special bubble tube at this time. After being re-coated, it passed through the red soil continent and then climbed rapidly. Finally, the warship broke through the sea surface and the bubble exploded instantly.
But this no longer affected the warship. The warship quickly sailed in the direction of Marinefando, bypassing the Gate of Justice and entering the Crescent Bay of Marinefando.
Let Nurkic be responsible for the handover work with the rescued civilians, and Skyler took the work report compiled by Nurkic and headed towards the headquarters building.
“Tuk-tuk-tuk~”
Arriving at Zeng Guo's office, Skyler knocked on the office door. The door was not closed. Zheng Guo subconsciously looked up, trying to see who the person was. At the same time, he opened his mouth, ready to call in.
However, when Sengoku saw Skyler, his movements stopped and his mouth remained open. He was stunned for two seconds before he realized that Skyler was definitely not taking the normal path.
"Come in, suppress your smile, and don't let Marshal Kong see you."
Warring States waved, Skyler walked in and put the report on his desk. Warring States did not check the report immediately, but said with a smile:
"Did you go to Fish-Man Island? There was no information from G-1 or Marigio. They took the windless zone, dived, and deliberately took a long way. I've only seen Garp do this kind of thing, haha."
Warring States smiled, and then continued: "Those fishmen and mermaids, if nothing else happens, will you throw them away on Fishman Island too?"
"Well, it was inconvenient to take them with me. My warship happened to be able to dive, so I sent them there."
Hearing Skyler's affirmation, Sengoku nodded and said: "It's a smart idea. If it is sent to Marinefando, it will definitely be accepted by the World Government first, and then... it will be gone."
Warring States said with emotion, took a sip of tea, and motioned for Skyler to sit down as well, and then said: "You go to He's house or Garp's house these two days, and I will give the report to Marshal Kong first.
Marshal Kong has been out of work recently and has nothing to do. He teaches people when he catches them. He has been driven crazy by calls from the World Government these days, so you should not go see him."
Hearing this, Skyler nodded. Just as he was about to say thank you, he found that the light source of the office door next to him dimmed and a voice came.
