Chapter 336: Noah, the Ship of Oath
...
"Murray Street is actually our biggest problem. We have always chosen to ignore it because we have no way to solve it, and let our compatriots there fend for themselves. Now with the Bra Chamber of Commerce, we finally have the opportunity to try to communicate and interact with humans and live in peace. However, if we don't face up to and find a way to solve the problems of Murray Street, the hatred accumulated there for many years is like a time bomb, and sooner or later it will become a huge hidden danger!"
Princess Otohime said sternly.
Neptune frowned upon hearing this, and after thinking for a while, he spoke:
"Otohime, you are right, but we still have to wait. I have sent people to investigate the situation. If the Fishman Street is really preparing to rebel, I will lead the Neptune Army to suppress them immediately! Don't worry, I will never let them destroy the friendship and trust that we have worked so hard to establish with humans."
"No, I mean..."
Otohime spoke hurriedly, she knew very well what the word "suppress" meant.
"I understand. I am not willing to use this method unless it is absolutely necessary. However, it is precisely because we have no good solution and are unwilling to use force against our compatriots that our indecision has led to the dilemma we are in today. Let me, as the king, bear the blame for fighting against my compatriots."
Neptune said firmly.
"If...if it has to come to this, at least give me a chance before that, and let me try to communicate with them!"
Princess Otohime said with some sadness.
...
Fishman Street
The originally dark and dilapidated town has completely disappeared, and the entire area has become a large construction site. Men, women, old and young are all out, the construction site is bustling with activity, and tens of thousands of fish people are building their new home.
A conspicuous goldfish flag stands in the center of Coral Square.
In a makeshift tent, Captain Gel was lying on the sofa, with Weevil and Barrett sitting beside him. In addition to Akin who accompanied Kokoro and Funi to go shopping on Fishman Island, Mosan, Big Bear and Moria were also there. There were also four locals, Jinbei, Arlong, Tom and Dan, standing together and communicating.
"Boss Gel! The buildings on the entire Fishman Street have been cleared, and the personnel have also been counted. There are a total of 26,372 people, including..."
Jinbei reported seriously, and after knowing that Gel was not just fooling around, he finally felt relieved.
"Okay, I will take the 2000 or so little fishmen back to school. The education of the next generation must start from childhood. Also, have the human pirates and slave traders hiding in Fishman Street been dealt with?"
Gel asked again.
Aaron stepped forward and answered.
"Boss Gel, all the pirates in Fishman Street and the surrounding seas have been dealt with with the help of Brother Weevil!"
Aaron said excitedly.
Kill all the pirates! He felt proud of himself. He had never felt so happy in his life!
When it comes to Weibull, Aaron's face shows an expression of admiration!
Weevil solved the problems of human pirates and slave traders who had troubled Fishman Street for years as easily as chopping melons and vegetables. His god-like figure made the fishmen have a new understanding of his strength, and even many female fishmen wanted to give birth to children for him.
"Mmmmm good job!"
Gel spread his hands and said to the others.
"Okay, you've all heard it, and this is roughly the current situation."
"I accidentally took over Fishman Street, but it doesn't matter. From now on, this will be the transit point for our Bra Chamber of Commerce to communicate with Fishman Island and enter the New World."
"I'll leave the planning and construction to you, Tom and Dan. I've already prepared all the materials. Thank you for your hard work."
"It's not hard. You are willing to take over Fishman Street. I thank you for the tens of thousands of compatriots living in Fishman Street! Lord Gel!"
Mermaid Dan said as he bowed politely.
"Uh hahaha! That's right, just leave it to us. The captain is really a real man! He always does something shocking!"
Tom was very happy. He didn't expect that bringing Captain Geller back to Fishman Island would not only establish trade cooperation with the Dragon Palace Kingdom and solve many employment problems for Fishman Island residents, but also solve the problems of Fishman Street. As fishmen, Tom and Dan felt honored to be able to participate in such a historic event as the reconstruction of Fishman Street.
"No need to do that. It's just a piece of cake."
Gel waved his hands and pretended to be nonchalant, but he was actually secretly happy. He didn't expect the fish people to be so stupid and easy to fool.
"Jinbei, Arlong!"
"Boss Gel! Please tell us what you need us to do."
Jinbei and Arlong responded.
"You are the boss of Fishman Street, and your words are effective. You should be responsible for getting everyone to cooperate with Tom and Dan."
"Okay! Leave it to us!"
Jinbei really wants to say that your words are more effective now, and all the fishmen in Fishman Street seem to have been brainwashed by you!
"I'll leave the rest of the matters to you to coordinate, Brother Mo Sang. Tell me if you have any needs."
"No problem Captain!"
Mo Sang stroked his mustache and said easily.
"Oh, by the way, doesn't Ryugu Castle have a machine that makes bubble membranes? Let's borrow it and use it to wrap Fishman Street with double-layer bubbles and make an in and out passage. This way, pirates won't be able to sneak in easily."
Captain Gel, who just wanted to be a hands-off boss, was anxious to assign tasks.
"All right Captain Gill, boss!"
Everyone responded in unison and went about their business.
Gol brought Jinbei and Kuma to the back of Fishman Street, in front of the huge shipwreck.
“This ship is really huge when you look at it up close!”
Standing at the bow and looking at the ship that looked like a huge fortress, Gel couldn't help but sigh.
"Boss Gel, this is Noah's Ark. It was built hundreds of years ago. Legend has it that it is the promised ship that determines the fate of the fish-men and mermen."
Jinbei reached out and touched the deck and explained.
Gel nodded. He was better at giving spoilers.
Noah, the Ship of Promise, was a promise made by the human Joyboy and the mermaid princess 800 years ago. This large ship was originally intended to be a means of transportation to move the residents of Fishman Island to the ground. Later, for some reason, this promise was not fulfilled, and Noah has been parked next to Fishman Street ever since.
It's just a bunch of nonsense. Is it because there are no boats that fishmen and mermaids can't live on the sea surface? They can just swim up there easily!
Gel complained in his heart.
"It's a waste to let such a good ship sink here. Can you send it to the surface of the sea, Bear?"
Ger turned around and asked.
If a piece of trash who ate the Target-Target Fruit can throw Noah out, then the god-level Meat-Glob Fruit should be able to do it too.
"Let me try!"
The bear stepped forward, took off his gloves and placed his hands on the board.
Jinbei, who was standing by, was stunned at first when he heard this, and couldn't help but speak.
"That's impossible, Boss Gel. This ship is designed to be pulled by several super-large sea kings... Nani!!!"
Before Jinbei could finish his words, he felt Noah's Ark begin to shake.
