Chapter 330 Foul
...
"The matter has been resolved. Just give Whitebeard some face and don't throw away his flag. From now on, we have the final say on Mermaid Island."
Ger said calmly.
"That's great! I knew there was nothing the captain couldn't handle personally! I'll tell Neptune and Princess Otohime soon, and then we can start making preparations."
Mosan said happily.
"Oh, sorry, Lord Gel, I'm going to go out first. Call me if you need anything."
Miss Mermaid Kolo, who had been staring at Gel for a long time, suddenly remembered that she had forgotten to avoid him, and she seemed to have heard a lot of big things, so she said in a panic.
"No, I feel my shoulders are still a little uncomfortable, please help me rub them again, Miss Koro."
Gol said with a gentle smile.
If a person is beautiful, he or she must have a kind heart. I don’t care.
"Ah! All right, Lord Gel."
Koro lowered her head, tiptoed behind Gel, and began to massage Captain Gel's shoulders.
"Mr. Tom, is this your brother?"
Gel asked, looking at the male mermaid behind him.
"Uh, hahaha, yes, Captain. Let me introduce you. This is my younger brother Dan. He is also a well-known and good shipbuilder. Let him contribute to our great cause in the future!"
Tom pushed Dan to the front, patted him on the shoulder and introduced him.
"Hello Captain Gul, my name is Dan, thank you very much for saving my brother!"
"Haha! Welcome aboard! We're all family, no need to be so polite."
Ger stood up and shook Dan's hand enthusiastically.
They are all talented and should be respected.
...
Funi opened her notebook and began to report.
"Captain, with the reputation of Dragon Palace City as our guarantor, the number of mermaids and mermen who have signed up to join our Chamber of Commerce and try to live on the sea has exceeded 3000. Including their families, the total number has exceeded 7000. We have suspended the first batch of registrations, otherwise the number may be far more than this."
Ger nodded, not feeling surprised.
Not only do the mermen themselves yearn to go to the land, but the Fishman Island, with its small land area and large population, has a serious shortage of living space. Many lower-class people can only live in the dark trench at the bottom of the Fishman Island. The bright lights that are as dense as stars are actually just crowded rental houses. A serious surplus of labor is a major feature of the Dragon Palace Kingdom, and it is difficult for ordinary people to find a decent job to support their families.
Fishman Island does not have any development opportunities. It could have taken advantage of its geographical advantage as "the only way for pirates to go to the New World" to develop tourism, service industries, and ship repair and coating businesses. However, due to its own weak strength, it cannot be suppressed or controlled.
Causing chaos.
However, even though they knew that most pirates were eyeing fish-men and mermaids, they couldn't just shut them all out.
Firstly because of insufficient military force, and secondly for survival, they were forced to open for business. All Ryugu Castle could do was to slightly strengthen the inspection of people entering and leaving Fishman Island and try to protect the citizens of Fishman Island from being kidnapped.
"In addition, Ryugu City is also very cooperative and attaches great importance to this cooperation. Princess Otohime also took the initiative to help us check and ensure that the mermaids and fishmen who signed up are really willing to do the work and have no other bad intentions."
Mosan continued.
"Captain Gol, Princess Otohime seems to have a special power that can see into people's hearts."
Big Bear added.
"Well, it should be a special observation Haki. Princess Otohime is smart. She knows that she should seize this rare opportunity. This is good. It saves us a lot of trouble, haha."
"Since everyone signed up so enthusiastically, we should give everyone more opportunities. Fishman Island has a dense population and they are all good laborers. No, they are good employees. We will recruit another 5 people. This second batch can temporarily be responsible for things here on Fishman Island. When the first batch of people have settled down in the Bird's Nest, we will select those with good performance to give them priority to live on land."
Gel said happily that the cakes had been drawn for the fishmen and mermaids.
There is absolutely no problem in having more than 50 people living on the Bird's Nest. In addition, most of the people have to travel with merchant ships. Most of the time, only family members and children stay on the Bird's Nest. There are a thousand large merchant ships, and even if there are only 5 sailors on each ship, there are already people. In the future, tens of thousands of merchant ships will require tens of millions of people. In addition, the construction of the Golden Entertainment City will begin next year. No matter how many people there are, it will never be too much. It is far from saturated, or it will never be saturated.
"Lord Geer, I don't know how I can get a job at your Chamber of Commerce."
The mermaid Koro behind him couldn't help but ask. She had always wanted to go to the sea, but that was just a wish, not to mention living on the sea, which was simply an unrealistic fantasy.
And now it seems that the opportunity is right in front of us!
Although she had only met Gel twice, Kara had always thought that he was a good person. In addition, she had just learned that Lord Gel was the benefactor of Rosa and Brother Haqiu, and that Ryugugu Castle was the guarantor. Even Princess Otohime was trying her best to cooperate in making this happen. It must be credible!
Funi helped to explain:
"We are currently recruiting some strong sailors, so most of the recruits are young male mermaids and fishmen. Of course, their families can also go to live on the sea with them. If you have a suitable person in your family, you can recommend them to try."
"Oh, that's it. I see. Thank you."
Ke Luo was a little disappointed. She was a female mermaid and not strong. She had only one younger sister at home. It seemed that she had no chance to live on the sea.
But when we get back, we can tell Lusa the good news. Lord Gel is their savior, and Brother Ha Qiu is also very suitable. He will definitely be able to become a sailor of the Chamber of Commerce. Then their family can move to live on land. Oh, I'm so envious!
Ke Luo thought to herself.
"Haha, of course there are exceptions. You don't have to be a strong sailor to go with us. After all, for such a small matter, it can be done with the nod of the decision-maker."
Fanny smiled and winked at the mermaid Koro, reminding her.
Koro blinked her big eyes for a long time before she reacted, but she was too embarrassed to speak and could only stare at Captain Gir.
Being stared at by the beautiful woman with such lustful eyes, Gel was a little overwhelmed.
"Haha, there's no need to be like that. If you trust us, you can go back with us."
"Is it really possible? But, Lord Gel, I am just a female mermaid. I am not strong and I only know how to give massages. Oh, I can also wash clothes and cook. Is it really possible for me to do this?"
Ke Luo asked excitedly and nervously.
"Why not? Massage is a skill. You can make a living with your own hands honestly. You don't steal or rob. You can be proud of it!"
"And I also think your massage is very comfortable. How about this? You bring your family and a few mermaid ladies who want to go with you, and then come back with us to open a new mermaid massage shop at my base. I will provide the start-up capital, which can be considered as a share. When I am overworked and need to relax, you don't have to charge me. How do you think it is?"
Sitting for too long while fishing can easily cause backaches. For the sake of a happy life, Captain Gel offered some advice.
The surprise came too quickly. Kolo was stunned for a long time before she jumped up happily, causing waves in her chest that dazzled Captain Gel.
"Great! Thank you so much, Master Gel!"
The mermaid Koro was so excited that she came up and hugged Captain Gir.
Ger: Beep! Charge! Foul!
