Chapter 337 Confrontation
...
"How can this be?"
Jinbei's eyes widened.
“Ka-ka-ka! Clank-dang-dang!”
Several thick iron chains used to tow the bow of Noah's Ark, which required several people holding hands to embrace, were pulled out from the sand and gravel on the seabed with a huge crashing sound.
Down below on the Fishman Street, the fishmen who were working suddenly felt the sky darken. When they looked up, they were all so shocked that they were speechless for a long time.
“Hey, hey, hey! Look, that, that, that is it!?”
"Oh my god, am I dazzled or am I dreaming? Hurry up and slap me."
"Snapped!"
"Ah, it hurts. I'm not dreaming. This is real? The Ship of Oaths is really flying?!"
"Hey! Look over there, isn't that Boss Gol and Brother Jinbei?"
A fishman with good eyesight shouted after noticing the figure standing next to Noah, and everyone followed the direction of his finger and saw Gel, Jinbe and Kuma.
"Boss Gel is simply not a human being!"
Fishman A exclaimed excitedly, but was surrounded and questioned by his companions.
"Hey, what do you mean? How dare you say bad things about Boss Gel?"
Fishman A explained hurriedly.
"Ah, misunderstanding, misunderstanding! How could I possibly say something bad about Boss Gel? If anyone dares to say something bad about Boss Gel, I'll be the first to disagree. What I mean is that Boss Gel is truly a god!"
Everyone nodded in satisfaction.
"Yeah, Boss Gur is really awesome!"
"So it's Boss Ger. I don't find it strange that Noah can fly!"
"Yes, Boss Gel is definitely not an ordinary person, otherwise how could he easily conjure up so many delicious foods!"
"Yes! Boss Gel must be a god who came down from heaven to save the world from suffering! We are so lucky!"
The fishmen in Fishman Street began to talk more and more outrageous.
The Noah's Ark, which was half the size of Fishman Island, took off from the spot. The residents of Fishman Island also saw this scene! Everyone was completely stunned.
Everyone started shouting and running around to tell each other.
...
After receiving the news, Longgong City could no longer sit still.
"Puff! What? Noah's Ark flew away?!!!"
Neptune spat out a mouthful of tea.
"Are you sure you didn't see it wrong? Noah has no power. How can it fly without a super-large sea king-like ship to pull it?"
Princess Otohime, who remained relatively calm, spoke up to confirm.
"Yes, it is certain! King Neptune, Princess Otohime! Noah's Ark has indeed taken off, and the residents of the entire Fishman Island have seen it!"
The soldier who reported it said quickly.
"Let's go! Go out and take a look!"
Otohime walked decisively out of the palace, and Neptune and the ministers on the left and right, who had come to their senses, hurriedly followed her.
As soon as they walked out of the door, they saw a Noah's Ark as big as the entire Fishman Island slowly floating up!
"This, this, this! First there was the riot on Fishman Street, and now it's Noah! What on earth is going on?"
The ministers on both sides were also completely panicked.
"We can't wait any longer! I will lead the army to Fishman Street now to find out the truth!"
Neptune said anxiously that legend has it that Noah is related to the future of their fishmen and mermen, and no accidents can happen before the day of the oath!
"I'll go with you too!"
Otohime said as she sat on Neptune's shoulders.
The situation was urgent, and Neptune did not refuse. He rode on his big whale, Hoai, gathered the king's army, and rushed to Fishman Street in a hurry.
...
"That's awesome, Bear!"
Looking at the huge ship wrapped in the bear paw bubble, Gel couldn't help but sigh.
What the hell does this paw-ball fruit have to do with paw balls?
It was the first time that Big Bear used the power of his fruit to send such a large object flying. He wiped the sweat from his head and smiled innocently.
Jinbei finally came back to his senses from his doubts about life and asked hurriedly:
"Boss Gel, is this ship ready?!"
"Well, requisitioned!"
"Nani? Requisition?"
Jinbei was a little mad inside. "Boss Gel, could you please explain a little more? Don't be so calm."
This is a big event! It must have alarmed the entire Dragon Palace Kingdom!
"Okay, let's go back. By the way, Xiongzi, notify your family to pick up the express."
Ger said with a smile.
"Okay Captain."
As Daxiong said this, he took out his Den Den Mushi and started dialing.
...
Outside Fishman Street
Two large groups of people are confronting each other!
"People of Fishman Street! Please listen to me! I am Princess Otohime of the Ryugu Kingdom. We are here to investigate the riots in Fishman Street and to help you, not to cause you any trouble. Please move aside and let us in. I promise that the soldiers of the Neptune Army will not harm you!"
Princess Otohime shouted loudly while standing on the whale's head.
Yet the crowd remained unmoved.
"Humph! Our Fishman Street is doing fine now! There's no riot! And we don't need your help!"
Aaron, who was standing in front of the team, refused bluntly!
"Yes! We don't need your help from Ryugu City!"
The other fishmen followed suit.
"Nonsense! I am the king of the Dragon Palace Kingdom! Fishman Street is part of the territory under my rule. Why are you stopping me from entering?"
Neptune said angrily.
An older fish-woman came out, pointed her cane at Neptune and cursed:
"You also know that our Fishman Street is part of the Dragon Palace Kingdom. Over the years, have the bigwigs in your Dragon Palace City ever cared about the lives of people like us?"
"How ridiculous! Where were you when pirates were rampant and killing my fellow fishmen? Where were you when slave traders kidnapped my fishmen children?"
Neptune was speechless for a moment.
"Mother-in-law, we have also been working hard to find a way out for the fishmen and mermen in the future, and we have always hoped that everyone can live a better life, and this time..."
Otohime tried to explain, but the old man didn't want to listen and interrupted her.
"Alright, thank you very much. We have found our way out in Fishman Street, so I won't bother you any more."
"but…"
Princess Otohime's original plan was to first use speeches to slowly persuade her compatriots to let go of their hatred for humans, and then have all the fishmen and mermaids sign a book expressing their willingness to live in harmony with humans, as a gesture of sincerity in negotiations to seek humans' approval and understanding. However, the well-intentioned human forces actually showed up on their own initiative, which made Otohime a little confused.
