Although the "Frozen Throne" plan proposed by Borusalino nominally requires the navy or the world government to launch efforts in the Shampoo Islands and the Fishman Island at the same time, in fact the Shampoo Islands have already

There is a naval base, so the top priority of the plan is only Fish-Man Island.

Taking into account the special geographical location of Fish-Man Island and the strong combat effectiveness of the Fish-men tribe, the Naval Staff Department, after many discussions, finally came up with an expected goal for the base standards established on Fish-Man Island, which is to benchmark the G1 base.

The g5 base and g8 base meet the so-called gl (grand line) specifications.

As for the so-called GL specifications, let's put it this way - according to the plot setting in the original work, the original G-1 base was directly swapped with Malinfando after the war on the top and became the new naval headquarters. This shows that this kind of base

Its high specifications and strength are second only to the Navy Headquarters.

Therefore, it stands to reason that the construction of a base of this scale is definitely not a simple matter. The cost alone is enough to bring down an ordinary medium-sized government alliance country.

"Minister Guy, regarding the 'Frozen Throne' plan, this is indeed something that is beneficial to both the World Government and our Fish-Man Island. We have indeed been negotiating with the Navy Headquarters before,"

Princess Otohime considered her speech, "In addition, our Fishman Island itself is a member of the government, so in principle we fully support the construction of a naval base on our Fishman Island, but the cost of this base and

Manpower and material resources..."

"Cost and other issues are actually secondary issues," Porusalino took over, as if he was really considering the details of the plan. After thinking for a while, he said, "Actually, the main issue is the deployment of troops in the base.

, want to take our navy taxis

It is not an easy task to transport soldiers from the sea to Fish-Man Island and ensure that they are rotated regularly. The risk and casualty rate of coating the sea from the Chambord Islands are too high. Our navy is not a pirate and does not need to

It’s such a risk-taking thing.”

"So what does Vice Admiral Porusalino and your navy mean?"

Guy frowned subconsciously and looked at Porusalino - as one of the five CP0 ministers, although Guy has a high level within the World Government, the "Frozen Throne" plan is led by the Navy.

He was also unclear about most of the key details and content.

"It's very simple. Fishman Island borrows money from the government and cooperates with our navy to provide manpower,"

Porusalino replied with a smile, "Anyway, they already have a huge debt of 100 billion beli with the government. Now that they can't afford more money, they don't care to borrow some project funds from the government.

The Lords of the Five Old Stars must also be happy to see Fish-Man Island take the initiative to borrow money in order to build a naval base and maintain peace and justice... Princess Otohime, you think so too, right?"

"……Yes."

Princess Otohime and King Neptune looked at each other and nodded.

"...and when the funds are in place, our navy only needs to send the officers over first, and the ordinary sailors can be transported slowly. And before that, we can also recruit ordinary sailors from Fish-Man Island...

Isn't the average strength of the fishmen ten times that of normal humans? And there are millions of people, so they will definitely be a good source of soldiers."

"Of course, in order to show the sincerity of Fish-Man Island, Fish-Man Island should also send some fish-man warriors to join the navy at sea, and among these people there must be high-status figures who can represent Fish-Man Island... Neptune

Doesn’t the king have three princes? It’s entirely possible for one of them to join the navy... And Jinbei-dono, who has appeared before, seems to be very strong, and he can also serve as one of the seven warlords under the king.

…”

Whether it is the World Government or Fish-Man Island, Porusalino has a clear understanding of the strategic goals of these two parties regarding the issue of Fish-Man Island:

For the world government, the five old stars not only hope that the fish-man island located in the deep sea will be more controlled by the government, so as to obtain a strong source of troops and further suppress the pirates; they also hope to show the world the "unity and harmony of the government-affiliated countries"

, a scene where all races are happy and harmonious, thereby demonstrating their majesty and ability to rule - it can be said that they need both dignity and face.

There is no doubt that whether it is building a high-standard naval base on Fish-Man Island, letting the Fish-men join the navy, or letting the Royal Family and Fish-people representatives of Fish-Man Island become part of the government, it is completely satisfactory.

The government's request - the senior government officials represented by the Five Old Stars even felt from a superior perspective that not only did Fishman Island's rule have been completely strengthened, but they also wisely sent hostages to represent their sincerity of non-rebellion.

At the same time, for Fish-Man Island, their appeal is of course to no longer be oppressed by humans and protect their own interests. Therefore, in order to achieve this goal, starting hundreds of years ago, the royal family of Fish-Man Island tried to

Gain voice by making Fishman Island a member of the government.

But the right to speak requires both the "hard power" represented by armed extremists like Aaron, and the "soft power" represented by idealists like Princess Otohime. No matter which kind of strength, it must

Only when it is not isolated can it be brought into full play - and once the fish

The human race has become an important combat force of the navy. Representatives of murlocs like Jinbe and future murlocs of the navy will inevitably change the majority of ordinary people's views on murlocs indirectly or directly, and the situation of the fishman island will also be greatly improved as a result.

, the demands of the fish people will also be met.

Moreover, not only will these relatively long-term basic demands be met, Fish-Man Island can also obtain tangible benefits and development from the current matter of borrowing money from the World Government...

Of course, for the 100 billion beli that Fishman Island should compensate, Porusalino had already considered a solution that would satisfy everyone.

What? The pirates won’t be satisfied?

Sorry, although Porusalino is a Buddhist fisherman and a fun-loving person with a bad taste, he never considers those cruel and slave-trading scum of the sea to be human beings.

…

That night, a grand banquet was held in Ryugu Castle to welcome the distinguished guests from the World Government and Navy.

"Senior Porusalino, don't you want to eat?"

Kuzan sat next to Porusalino, sucking the plump oysters in his mouth, smiling inarticulately, "It's delicious~"

"Yes, Lieutenant General Porusalino,"

Sitting at the top, Princess Otohime, who had been feeling a little uneasy all afternoon because Porusalino had not contacted her further, forced a smile and said, "I don't know how delicious the food on the sea is, but we fish

There are still some special features here on Human Island.”

"Well, I'm actually not very hungry."

Porusalino smiled helplessly - after the official business came to an end, he spent the whole afternoon shopping around Fishman Island, and his stomach was actually full of food and drinks.

(But after all, it’s a royal banquet on Fish-Man Island, so it’s better to eat some, otherwise Princess Otohime will probably be extremely panicked...)

With this in mind, Porusalino picked a plump crab and started moving - he didn't need to eat oysters like Kuzan to strengthen his yang, he himself was a warrior of the sun!

To be honest, although it was an excellent reception, the atmosphere of the banquet was quite embarrassing. Princess Otohime had been trying her best to find topics, but the ministers of Ryugu Castle and King Neptune himself were in a very depressed mood. The navy and

The CPs were just minding their own food, and no one talked at all.

"Whoa whoa whoa whoa!"

It was at this time that a baby's cry suddenly came.

"Mom, Bai Xing is hungry!"

A huge little ghost-headed mermaid with blue hair walked quickly into the banquet hall holding an equally huge baby, and said urgently, "She's been crying, please feed her!"

"Ah! I forgot to feed Shirahoshi!"

Princess Otohime exclaimed, "It's over, I'm too busy today!"

"puff--!!"

Kuzan's eyes widened and he almost spit out the contents of his mouth, "These two are the children of Princess Otohime??"

Princess Otohime is a goldfish and mermaid, and her body shape is at the level of a normal human being, even a little slender, but neither the blue-haired little devil nor the huge baby looks like she has a physique that she can give birth to.

ah!

"Trivia: Most fish are fertilized in vitro,"

The old driver Porusalino explained in a low voice, "They are oviparous animals, but I don't know if fish and mermaids are like this anymore."

Speaking of which, the birth pattern of mermaids and fishmen is very strange - the children of mermaids are not necessarily mermaids, but may also be fishmen. Similarly, the parents of mermaids are not necessarily mermaids, but may also be fishmen.

What's even more amazing is that the type of fish-man or mermaid the parents are is very likely to be different to their children, because the DNA of all parents has already determined what type the children will be, which is completely random.

"The world is really wonderful!"

Kuzan sighed.

Although it is very strange, in fact, there are still people in the world who regard mermaids and fishmen as fish. This reproductive situation is one of the important reasons.

"Is this your daughter, Princess Otohime?"

Porusalino looked at the huge baby being held in Princess Otohime's arms with difficulty and fed with a bottle, and he laughed knowingly, "The legendary mermaid princess, can you let me see it?"

Although the mermaid princess is also a legendary existence, Poseidon, the King of the Sea, one of the three legendary ancient weapons, obviously attracts the attention of Porusalino, a time traveler.

"..."

Princess Otohime was stunned for a moment, then hesitated, "Shirahoshi is less than one year old..."

"There are so many people here, Princess Otohime, are you still afraid that I will do something to little Shirahoshi? Well, I will indeed do something to her, maybe a whisper to the children?"

Porusalino winked and smiled.

(!!!)

"good."

Otohime walked over with difficulty holding Shirahoshi, handed Shirahoshi into Porusalino's hand, and then stood aside nervously - on the one hand, she was nervous about her daughter, and on the other hand, she was nervous about what Porusalino said.

whispers.

"What a cute little girl. When she grows up, she will definitely inherit your beauty, Princess Otohime."

With a smile on his face, Porusalino looked like an ordinary neighbor uncle, except that he was a little bit wretched, much like a character from the anime series "Inward Direction".

Although she is only less than one year old, little Baixing is very energetic. There are still milk stains on the corners of her mouth after drinking some milk. Her pink hair is soft and her pink face is quite young. She stretched out her hands while

He grabbed Porusalino's face and kept squeezing it while laughing.

"It seems that Shirahoshi likes you, Lieutenant General Porusalino."
