Chapter 156 Princess Otohime collapsed on the chair
In Dragon Palace City, the atmosphere in the banquet hall was extremely tense.
"Brother, what exactly do you want to say?" Matifa poked Profik. Even with her knowledge, she realized that it was quite inappropriate to talk about such a topic on Fish-Man Island.
Profik had no scruples: "Princess Otohime, do you know how many beri ordinary people in Shihai can earn if they work hard for a month?"
Although I don’t know why Profik asked this, this question really confused Princess Otohime. Tiger, who has traveled far and wide, may be able to answer this question fluently, but Princess Otohime, who has never set foot on Fishman Island, although she has a lot of knowledge about life on land, can only talk on paper and cannot solve practical problems.
"Twenty thousand in relatively wealthy areas, 150,000 in ordinary areas, and maybe less than 100,000 in remote areas!" Profic explained patiently.
There are two main basis for making this judgment. One is the memory of the original person and the living conditions of the residents of Daze Island that he observed.
Another one is the situation in Cocosia Village. In Cocosia Village, under Aaron's extreme slavery, the villagers' "life money" was 100,000 berries per month for adults and 50,000 berries per month for children. Considering that Cocosia Village is relatively wealthy, and excluding the necessary expenses for living, it is estimated that an adult's monthly income is about 150,000 beri, which is more appropriate.
Ironically, when estimating the income of ordinary people in the world of One Piece, Profik actually needed to use the "valuable data" provided by Aaron. Then, these data must be used to explain the dangers that fishmen may encounter on land.
In fact, Profik's estimate is optimistic. The situation in the world is much worse than he imagined. There are a large number of bankrupts, sharecroppers, refugees, slaves, and poor people... If you average it out, the Bellmere family, who is considered "poor" in Cocosia Village, is average in the world. It even seems to be well-off!
"As long as you catch a female fishman, you can earn as much as an ordinary person's income of 20,000 per month. Your Highness Otohime, if it were you, how would you choose?"
Profik downplayed it, but Princess Otohime was horrified. After listening to Profik's analysis, she had to admit that trafficking in young female fishmen was a "cost-effective" "business".
"At the bottom of the ocean at a depth of 10,000 meters, the Fish-Man Island can still be protected," Profik said, "but if you are on land, who can protect you?"
"You are a princess and a noble, so naturally you will not be captured. But what about the residents of Fishman Island? What if someone becomes a slave because of your willfulness?"
I'm not saying this politely, but I mean it in a small way, but in a big way, Profik's words are completely heart-wrenching.
But how could Otohime give up easily? She said firmly: "I will protect everyone with my life."
"How many people can you protect?"
"And the world government..."
"Don't forget who needs fish-man slaves? It's the Celestial Dragons!"
"I will unite with other participating countries to submit a letter to ask the world government and world nobles to stop their wrong behavior!"
"Do you really think that the World Government will really stand on the side of Fish-Man Island?" Profik felt that if he wanted to convince Princess Otohime, he would have to give out some strong information. "I have heard some legends. The legend about 'eight hundred years ago'."
After hearing the words "eight hundred years ago", Otohime fell silent. This time she did not rush to refute. Although the World Government regards the "Blank Hundred Years" as a taboo, in fact, legends related to the "Blank Hundred Years" are spread throughout the world, especially among non-human intelligent races.
Fishman Island is no exception. As the royal family of Fish-Man Island, Neptune and Otohime obviously know a lot about Joyboy. In the original book, even after interpreting the historical text of Fish-Man Island, there are still many things that Nicole Robin must ask Neptune for help to figure out. In fact, the fish-men clan has still retained the huge ship "Noah" that is closely related to the major events eight hundred years ago, and is looking forward to Joeyboy one day fulfilling the oath he made back then.
"I heard that eight hundred years ago, a guy named 'Joy Boy' made an agreement with the fish-man princess at that time to use a giant ship to bring the fish-men family to live on the sea. But later, for unknown reasons, Hey, Joeyboy didn't travel as he promised... Therefore, Joeyboy wrote a special 'letter' to apologize to the fish-man princess at that time."
If the words about the fish-man slaves made Otohime and Neptune tremble with fear, then the history of 800 years ago that Profik told them would simply scare them away.
These are the secrets of Fish-Man Island! How could such a young human being, Shichibukai, know so clearly? If so, don't many people know this?
As for the ministers accompanying him, they were all sweating profusely and almost wanted to leave first - for fear of hearing something they shouldn't and being silenced.
Although Neptune was upset, he still discovered something strange about his minister. He waved his hand, and the ministers left quickly as if they had been granted amnesty.
Profik still looked indifferent, but he revealed quite a lot of explosive information: "I'm not obsessed with 'history'... What's really worth paying attention to is the fish-man princess eight hundred years ago. . Possessing the power to control the Sea King type, the 'Sea King' is known as one of the super weapons... It is said that every few hundred years, one will appear on the Fish-Man Island..."
For Neptune and Otohime, the air in the banquet hall was almost frozen.
The legend of "Sea King", like the story of Joyboy, is a secret passed down from generation to generation by the royal family of Fish-Man Island. But unlike Joyboy's Promise, which even if it is spread out, it will at best make the history of Fish-Man Island more mysterious. If the existence of "Sea King" is known, Fish-Man Island will probably fall into a bloody storm immediately. Become the object of competition among major forces.
"Where did you know that?" Neptune was almost furious at this time. Even if Profik was Tiger's benefactor, he could not keep the king of Fishman Island calm.
"Psychic shock·Calm down!"
With just one move, Profic made King Neptune calm down again.
"I have no intention of taking away the power of 'Sea King'," Profic still remained calm. Sea King said it was nothing. According to his estimation, it was just the result of some special gene. If one day he really needed it, Just draw a tube of Bai Xing's blood and make a clone.
What's more, although Neptune is powerful, he is not omnipotent. Otherwise, Joyboy, with the support of Neptune, would never have been completely defeated eight hundred years ago.
To overthrow the rule of the World Government, another "Joyboy II" is not enough. After all, it was the mysterious Lord Im who won eight hundred years ago, not Joyboy.
"My Royal Highness, the Five Old Stars know the secrets of this world very well. Faced with the fish-man princess who may appear on Fish-Man Island at any time, what would you do if you were the Five Old Stars?"
Profik "boldly" proposed his own "solution": "If it were me, I would exterminate the fish-men clan and completely eliminate the problem of the fish-man princess..."
"Bang!" The dinner plate in front of Princess Otohime shattered on the floor, and she collapsed on the chair in despair.
