Chapter 191 Racial Contradictions
Skyler's Kogosaku was placed on Jinbei's neck... Let's just say it was the neck. After all, it was from the chin level up to the shoulders, so there shouldn't be any problem with the neck.
Jinbe pointed at the necklace on Skyler's chest. His teammates around him also became nervous at this moment. When Nurkic and others saw Skyler drawing his sword, they quickly disembarked and stood behind Skyler.
"Necklace, where did it come from?"
Jinbe silently retracted his finger and asked. Skyler lowered his head, looked at the shell necklace around his neck, and said, "A goldfish and mermaid girl gave it to me."
"That's how it works."
Jinbe also retracted his hand, ignoring the blade on his neck, and bowed directly to Skyler. Skyler also sheathed the ancient master in time and looked at Jinbe with a puzzled face.
"My lord, Jinbei! Captain of the third patrol of Ryugu Neptune's army! Who is your Excellency?"
Jinpei straightened up and looked at Skyler. There was a hint of surprise on Skyler's face. She always felt that the fat blue man in front of her looked familiar. Now after his own explanation, Skyler made the connection.
Skyler smiled. She still liked the character of Jinbe. After all, not everyone dared to say the words "just four emperors", and not everyone said it with such tension.
"Skyler Gray, Rear Admiral of the Navy Headquarters!" Skyler introduced himself, then took off the necklace, held it in his hand, and said: "This necklace was made by a little girl two days ago and was given to me.
, what’s the point?”
Jinbei shook his head and said, "It makes no sense."
"..."
Skyler looked speechless, Jinbei saw this and quickly explained: "It doesn't matter what kind of necklace it is, but the scales in the middle of this necklace are a symbol of friendship.
If the fish scales are pulled out without the owner's permission, the fish scales will become engorged with blood. Therefore, the producer must be kind and pull out the fish scales himself to give them to you...etc.!
You just said two days ago?"
Jinbei looked at the warship and asked, "Could it be that the little mermaid girl is on your ship?"
Skyler nodded and said: "There are more than seventy, including mermaids and fishmen. I have sent them all to you."
"???"
Jinbei made up a story in his mind about a human being who happened to be kind and saved a mermaid, but...seventy people? What's that about?
"I...don't understand."
Jinbe said, Skyler looked at the fat blue man who had subdued his hostility and became naive. He was in a good mood and explained: "Our navy has wiped out several slave-trading pirate groups and found many mermaids and fish-men.
I sent them back along the way, who of you will take care of them? Can you make the decision?"
Skyler waved his hand, and on the warship, the navy also took the captured mermaids and fishmen out of the cabin. Many mermaids and fishmen burst into tears when they saw the scenery of Fishman Island.
There were even a few who hugged the marines next to them and cried loudly. The reactions of the marines were different. Some of the marines who were hugged by the mermaid lady had a warm smile on their faces.
There was also a marine who was hugged by a strong man from a shark and a fishman and dared not move. His face was even sadder than that of the fishmen.
With Skyler's permission, Jinbei boarded the warship and after some questioning, when he came to Skyler again, his face had turned red and he couldn't even see the original blue color.
Jinbei bowed again and said: "Thank you, Major General Skylar Gray!"
"Ouch~lu!!"
At this time, a whale appeared in the distance. There were two people on the whale. Seeing Jinbei bowing towards Skyler, a strong mermaid jumped off the back of the whale and came to Jinbei. He looked at Skyler and then at the warship. , and finally signaled Jinbei with his eyes.
Jinbe nodded and introduced: "King Neptune, this is Rear Admiral Skyler Gray of the Navy Headquarters. Rear Admiral Skyler Gray, this is our King Neptune."
Skyler looked up at Neptune. Neptune was more than ten meters tall. Even with his tail bent at the moment, he was still too tall. There was no way for the two of them to say hello.
"Hello, Major General Gray."
At this time, a female mermaid who was a head taller than Skyler appeared. Skyler looked at it and asked: "Is this Princess Otohime?"
"Yes."
Jinbe nodded. Princess Otohime looked at the scene on the warship. She probably guessed it. She took the initiative to step forward, held Skyler's hands in her hands, and said:
"Major General Gray, please come to the Dragon Palace so that we can express our gratitude."
"Skyler, I'm used to people calling me Skyler."
Skyler nodded, took his hands away, and said: "I won't go to the Dragon Palace. I have official duties. You can ask someone to arrange the handover, and I will leave."
Otohime shook her head, and then said: "For so many years, I have been trying to find a way for humans and fish people to coexist peacefully and support each other. I would like to ask you about some human things."
Otohime said, and took Skyler's hands again. This time, Skyler would look a little ignorant if he pulled his hands back. She was a little embarrassed, but she didn't know what to do.
Neptune looked at Skyler at this time, and finally recalled who she was. After all, the last time Whitebeard came, he brought his large fleet to coat, just for this human being.
As Whitebeard's friend and ally, Neptune should not socialize with Skyler, but... when Whitebeard talked about this human being, he had a smile on his face.
Neptune didn't know whether to invite or not. Otohime was a little confused when she saw that Neptune had been silent. After all, if Neptune invited him as a king, Skyler would not be able to refuse.
Finally, Neptune made up his mind. He and Whitebeard were friends, and he knew Whitebeard's character well. Whitebeard would not be angry with Skyler just because he invited Skyler, so he said:
"Rear Admiral Skyler Gray, as the king of the Dragon Palace Kingdom, I invite you and all the navy to go to the Dragon Palace for a visit."
Neptune opened his mouth, and Skyler couldn't refuse. Although she didn't really want to go to the Dragon Palace, it was still a step up, and she always had the time to have a meal in the past.
"Then I will accept King Neptune's invitation on behalf of my detachment."
Accepting the invitation, Jinbei went to prepare transportation. More than an hour later, Skyler entered the Dragon Palace and saw the luxurious and majestic buildings, as well as some incredible lighting and plants.
Otohime kept introducing her dream, perhaps because she thought Skyler and she were of the same mind, and Skyler kept dealing with it.
But Skyler didn't know that Otohime's naturally powerful aura of knowledge and knowledge could detect her lack of interest, but the reason why she continued talking was because Otohime felt a trace of admiration from Skyler.
This is the reason why Otohime insists on chatting with Skyler. She doesn't want Skyler to admire her more, but...she hopes to get Skyler's response. After all...Skyler is already the most popular person.
Support her humans.
Finally, when Otohime led Skyler through the restaurant, she noticed that Skyler's mood seemed to be a little higher, and asked: "Major General Skyler, what do you think is the biggest obstacle to the peaceful coexistence between humans and fishmen?
?”
"..." Skyler's thoughts were interrupted and he subconsciously said: "Being weak and scarce is the original sin."
