Chapter 247 Porusalino: I Am a Security Guard, Protecting the Safety of the World Conference!
As perhaps the most cerebral person among the BIGMOM pirates after Katakuri, the eldest son Perospero is undoubtedly a clear-minded person, and he does not support Charlotte Lingling's crazy war ideas at all.
But he couldn't control Charlotte Lingling's will at all, and he didn't have the courage - the latter was already dizzy with anger and must vent her anger, even if the war that was about to begin would do her no good, and The BIGMOM pirates have no chance of winning against the other three Yonko pirates at the same time.
But no matter what, Charlotte Lingling's order was quickly issued to every corner of the Totland Sea. The huge BIGMOM pirates were like a huge war machine, operating at full speed...
…
Although the "Crazy Woman's War" that took place in the New World attracted the Navy's attention to a certain extent, and the Navy Headquarters did urgently dispatch surveillance ships to the front line, it was only to a certain extent and nothing more.
The reason is very simple. The World Government, a super international organization with nearly 200 member countries so far, will usher in the quadrennial world conference on January 1, 1508 in the Hyalinian calendar, which is today. The Navy will continue to Provide guarantee services for the entire meeting process.
Of course, although nominally the kings of the nearly 200 participating countries will come to Mariejoia to attend the conference, most of the kings can only serve as atmosphere groups, enjoying the scenery and services of the Holy Land Mariejoia like a tourist.
The only people who can truly participate in meetings that determine the future direction of the world are the 50 rulers of the kingdoms who have the most say in terms of military strength, economic influence, political energy, and even personal connections.
Yes, the Neptunes from Fish-Man Island are also one of them.
"We've finally taken this step, Neptune!"
Wearing a bubble around her waist that allowed the murlocs to swim on land, Princess Otohime couldn't help but chuckle as she looked at the land that was getting closer as the warship moved.
Although she was also happy to see land, Neptune, the Great Knight of the Sea, knew very well that his wife actually wanted to express the feeling that "this meeting is a new milestone in the history of Fish-Man Island."
Although they have joined the World Government for hundreds of years, today is the first time that Fish-Man Island has been invited to participate in the World Conference - this is the same as a few years ago when they accepted Porusalino's suggestion to be more proactive and show good intentions. There is an absolute connection between posture and navy cooperation and integration into the world government system.
Princess Otohime carefully folded a petition signed by national representatives and held it against her chest. This was an important issue that she and Neptune hoped to discuss at the conference this time.
"I wonder what kind of grand event it will be? A world conference!"
The emotional Princess is looking forward to the meeting, but the more rational King Neptune is inevitably a little worried.
Although the relationship between fish people and mermaids and humans has been eased in recent years, after all, the time for this relaxation is limited, and most of the time, Fish-Man Island deals with the navy.
Therefore, to the rulers of various countries who attended the world conference, the couple representing the Dragon Palace Kingdom were undoubtedly still strangers.
But it is these people whose views on Fish-Man Island and Dragon Palace Kingdom are very important...
"Hahaha, don't be so nervous, Your Highnesses. Although there are idiots among the kings, there are also many friendly and wise ones!"
Sitting on the turret, Lieutenant General Garp looked at the restless Great Knight of the Sea and comforted him - he was holding a phone bug to record his daily life while trying to break the record of eating donuts on a boat.
"Yeah……"
Neptune hesitated, but he no longer showed worry on his face.
But having said that, there are not only those kings from all over the world in the Holy Land of Mariejoia - the real masters at the top of the Red Earth Continent, but also the world's nobles who claim to be descendants of the Creator. Since hundreds of years ago, they have been the largest consumer group of fishmen and mermaid slaves, and they are also the group that has brought the greatest suffering to Fishman Island.
While King Neptune was thinking wildly in his mind, Lieutenant General Garp jumped directly from the fort to the ruler of Fish-Man Island.
"There's no need to worry in Mariegio. Don't you have a good relationship with that boy Porusalino? He will take care of you! No one understands Mariegio better than him!"
Seeing the tall and thin figure waiting at the landing port, Lieutenant General Garp couldn't help laughing.
"...What you said is too exaggerated, Lieutenant General Garp, I am just a little sailor~"
Porusalino smiled faintly, hiding his merit and fame, "Just a little bit able to speak in front of the Five Old Stars~"
Lieutenant General Garp curled his lips when he heard this, and did not continue to answer Porusalino's words. Instead, he hurried directly to the navy station. Compared with Porusha, who worked for five minutes and rested for three hours, Lino, this old man has another important escort mission today. So there is absolutely no point in wasting time here with Porusalino, the "Monster of Versailles".
After Lieutenant General Garp left, he saw Porusalino, who had been promoted to the Navy and the highest combat power of the World Government, turned to look over, and Neptune took the lead in stepping forward.
Although since he went to Fish-Man Island on behalf of the World Government three years ago, Polusalino has never dealt with Fish-Man Island again. But the ideas he came up with for Dragon Palace City and the secret talks he had with the Neptunes truly reshaped Fish-Man Island - calling him the great benefactor of all fish-people and mermaids is not an understatement at all. Pass.
"Mr. Porusalino!! We and I haven't even had time to congratulate you on your promotion to general! Congratulations!"
King Neptune bowed slightly to Porusalino sincerely.
Seeing this, Porusalino grinned happily to his earlobes, but he still pretended to be humble and said:
"You're too polite, Your Majesty Neptune. It's not a big deal, he's just an ordinary naval admiral..."
——Ninety-nine percent of people may not believe it, but this is indeed the first time that Porusalino has received congratulations since he became a general.
There is no way, who let almost everyone around him know long ago that he is destined to become the world government's top combat force? Therefore, even after the grand promotion ceremony, no one had any new feelings about this matter at all...
King Neptune was stunned by Porusalino's bright smile and false self-effacement, but his wife, Princess Otohime, promptly continued to praise:
"Anyway, if you, the world government's highest combat power, are just mediocre, then there will be no great people in this world..."
"Hahahaha, what Princess Otohime said is absolutely right!!"
Just when Porusalino was about to continue to induce the talking Princess Otohime to give more compliments, a hearty laugh came from the warship landing on the right side.
Porusalino turned his head, and the man with medium-long black hair in front of him was also an old acquaintance:
"His Majesty Neferutali Kobra, the twelfth king of the Kingdom of Alabasta, long time no see, welcome to Marijoa!"
Kobra was the same as the last time they met, still wearing a pharaoh-like beard. Hearing this, he even praised him:
"Friendly, humble, reliable, powerful... General Porusalino, it is with righteous sailors like you that the future of this world will be better! Moreover, I see that you are responsible for the security of this venue. , we participants are also very at ease!”
"Your Majesty Cobra, thank you very much. This is my duty~"
Porusalino felt a little regretful now. He should have turned on the phone bug recording earlier. In this case, when he updates his personal homepage on the phone bug network today, he can add this recording to it, and then add a few lines of copy to make it look good...
But no matter what, after the rulers representing Alabasta and Fishman Island praised Porusalino respectively, they naturally turned their attention to each other:
"Great Knight of the Sea, I am glad that you can attend this meeting. I have always wanted to hear the thoughts of Fish-Man Island!"
"Your Majesty Cobra, you are welcome. You who rule the Kingdom of Alabasta are the ones we kings should learn from!"
Due to Porusalino's prompting and secret matchmaking three years ago, the desert kingdom of Alabasta and the deep sea kingdom of Fishman Island have launched in-depth cooperation in seawater purification and tourism development, so the two sides have actually been friendly countries for a long time. It's just that the royal family has not officially met yet - this is considered the first time.
It wasn't until all the guards on both sides boarded the pod that the two kings and a princess stopped talking enthusiastically and turned to other topics.
"Where are the other kings?"
Cobb stretched himself out. Even if he was in his prime, being bumpy on the sea for a long time was definitely torture for a person who had lived inland for a long time.
Porusalino walked side by side with them and activated the bubble pod himself:
"Your Majesty Cobra and Neptune, you are the second batch, King Riku of Dressrosa, Dee IV of the Aegis Kingdom, the Vinsmoke family of the Germa Kingdom, and King Xienda Lukas of the Illusia Kingdom is already waiting in Mariejoia.”
Cobra couldn't help but reveal a trace of doubt: "The Vinsmoke family of the Kingdom of Germa? I remember that although the Kingdom of Germa is also a member of the World Government, they have never participated in the World Conference, right?"
Located at the intersection of the Grand Line and the New World, King Neptune, who rules the Fish-Man Island, obviously knows more intelligence information about the Kingdom of Germa. He can't help but look worried:
"After all, it is a powerful evil army hired for war. The Kingdom of Germa also caused the Beihai Four Kingdoms incident some time ago..."
Upon hearing this, Porusalino waved his hands in relief:
"Don't worry, your majesties, the Kingdom of Germa has come to the meeting with good intentions this time, and maybe he has something to ask for from you~"
"……Um?"
…
Vinsmoke Gage was waiting patiently in the reception area of the bubble pod outside Mariejoia. He had already arrived.
Just as he was about to have a conversation with Porusalino, he found that the latter was slowly wandering down, and he didn't know who he was going to pick up.
"Dragon Palace Kingdom!"
Seeing Neptune's strong and burly figure, Gaji reacted.
No wonder Porusalino would personally go to the meeting. Not to mention the significance of Fishman Island's first participation in the meeting, Ryugu Castle has long been on the same front as the Navy Headquarters.
Not only did the Navy Headquarters set up G-0 Fortress on Fishman Island to recruit fishmen soldiers, but one of the three navy generals, "Aoji" Kuzan, was also stationed here, and the number one soldier on Fishman Island, "Seaman" Jinbei, was also stationed here. At the promotion ceremony of the Navy Admiral, he was awarded the title of "King Shichibukai" by the Marshal of the Warring States Period - anyone with a discerning eye can see that Fishman Island is completely owned by the Navy.
"……Who is this?"
Seeing a burly man with blond hair hanging down his waist waiting at the exit, Neptune couldn't help but ask Porusalino.
Porusalino glanced at him, and Vinsmoke Gaji immediately took the lead in extending his right hand:
"I am Vinsmoke Gaji from the Kingdom of Germa. Your Majesty Neptune, I have admired you for a long time! To be honest, I actually have fish-man blood!"
"puff--"
Unlike Porusalino who didn't hold back, King Neptune's eyes widened and he scanned Gaji from head to toe.
They were the purest murlocs, but they didn't realize that Gaji had any murloc or mermaid characteristics at all.
(Could it be that he is a fifth-generation hybrid? No, maybe he is an eighth-generation...)
Although he was thinking this rudely, Neptune still extended his palm.
Porusalino thought for a while, and finally changed his weird expression into a helpless expression, without explaining for Gaji - from a scientific point of view, when Gaji, a researcher, was studying blood factors, it was true that It was found that whether they are fish-men, humans, fur tribes or giant tribes, they all have similarities at the genetic level, so they can indeed be said to have partial ancestry.
But, this similarity is really very limited, maybe 0.1%? It's not worth mentioning at all. The real intention of this old boy Gaji is actually like the manager of the Golden Retriever Scenic Area who insisted that he had Germanic ancestry before Porusalino traveled through time - three points of closeness, seven points of relationship...
(But having said that, has Father Sanji completely let himself go? Because he has embraced my thigh, he no longer has the pressure to start a business?)
Porusalino couldn't help but think of this.
"Your Majesty Cobra, to be honest, my family also has Alabasta blood!"
On the other side, compared to the slightly awkward meeting of the men, the women were much more harmonious.
Princess Sola, who received all-round therapy at the Naval Medical Base Drum Kingdom hosted by Dr. Gureva, has already recovered more than half of her body. Not only that, her mental outlook has also improved. This time she is following her husband. Attend world conferences together.
After the meeting is over, she plans to go to Marineland to see her son Sanji and daughter Reiju...
But now, Sora greeted Otohime and Didi with a smile on his face. Tea and snacks were all that was missing from the lively tea conversation between the princesses.
After the simple conversation, the kings and their guards were forced to remove their weapons. Known as the Great Knight of the Sea, Neptune was a little dissatisfied with this, but he didn't say much when he saw that everyone was like this.
While joking, the guides took the kings to the waiting area, and Gaji grabbed Porusalino in front of everyone and walked aside.
No one else would have the guts to pull on "General Kizaru"'s clothes, but it is well known that Princess Reiju of the Vinsmoke family is with Porusalino, not to mention that Prince Sanji is also another A student of General Sakaski.
So, under the envious eyes of a group of kings, Gaji and Porusalino whispered.
ps: This chapter was actually updated yesterday, but it is under review. I don’t know if you can see it now qwq
ps: Just like the subtitles of the One Piece movie in the movie theater need to be modified, it might be a disaster. Alas, everyone just watch it and cherish it.
