Chapter 1212: A Bad Relationship with Naga
Fishman Kingdom, Dragon Palace
King Neptune and his children watched the entire auction of the Naga tribe. The mermaid princess, who had not seen much of the world, was frightened by this grand scene.
Tears began to fall from Princess Shirahoshi's eyes, and she felt extremely sympathetic towards Naga's tragic fate in the live broadcast.
"They are all a bunch of bad guys, why can't they coexist peacefully? Why does one side always have to become slaves?" Princess Shirahoshi is protected too well by her relatives and has little exposure to the dark side of the world.
Her beloved brother, Prince Sharkstar, swam to Princess Shirahoshi, wiped her tears personally and comforted his sister: "The Mermaid Kingdom is weak, and many of our tribesmen have experienced the same thing. I hope that the third path that Kisame has found for us will prevent the sea people from becoming slaves."
The Fishman Kingdom is located in the deep sea ten thousand meters below. Every year, slave traders risk their lives to dive and sneak in. Every year, fellow fishmen suddenly disappear without any trace.
Money is a great asset. The auction value of an adult male merman is 100 million berries, and the starting price of a female merman is as high as 7000 million berries.
If they succeeded once, they could earn back their income for the rest of their lives. Driven by the huge profits, many pirates transformed themselves into slave-hunting teams and joined the slave-hunting adventure.
King Neptune could only try to keep the country together and accept the flag of the great pirates to intimidate some pirates and make them behave themselves in Fishman Island.
The desperadoes who are not afraid of the reputation of the great pirates can be dealt with by the Ryugu guards in the deep sea, and by the Second Generation Sun Pirates attacking the slave ships above the sea level. This is two insurance policies.
If the slave-hunting team is powerful enough to bypass the above two procedures and successfully transport the sea slaves to the auction, the Fishman Kingdom will no longer intervene, as it is out of reach and powerless.
Neptune was a relatively honest king. He could barely maintain public expenses and pay the Dragon Palace guards full salaries, allowing this group of "shrimp soldiers and crab generals" to work for him.
There are many of his own kind outside the Dragon Palace who oppose him. The gangsters in Fishman Street always want to overthrow the Dragon Palace and want to go to war with humans with racist prejudices. They are ignorant of the immensity of the world and do not realize that this is a road of no return.
The Fishman Kingdom did not have the financial resources to redeem the sea slaves who were stranded outside, and could only watch the situation deteriorate little by little until Levita appeared with Kisame.
"Lord Kisame mentioned the Naga tribe. I might have seen them when he was traveling in the deep sea. I clearly remember that he said that the Naga are our biggest enemy." Shark Star remembered every word of Kisame clearly in his heart.
But he didn't understand. If what the host of Pandora venue said was true, the Sea Tribe and the Naga Tribe once had the same ancestor, and as both were marine creatures, they should not be hostile to each other.
If we really analyze the Fish-Man Karate and Fish-Man Jujutsu that Jinbei masters, they are strictly speaking a kind of physical technique.
The sea people do not have the ability to manipulate ocean currents at will, and usually just rely on their physical strength to gain leverage. In comparison, the Naga people are still the daughters of the sea and can manipulate the sea water in a sophisticated manner.
Boss Jinbe's physical skills can only represent his individual strength. Ninety-nine percent of the fishmen cannot exert the same strength as him, not even Shark Star.
Prince Shark Star had a guess in his mind that if the Naga's ability to control ocean currents could be passed down through blood, then this race would be the natural overlords of the ocean.
The throne under King Neptune's buttocks will be given to the Queen of the Naga tribe. In a world where the strong are respected, strength is everything.
A group of sea creatures were wondering why the Naga clan, which was so powerful, did not dominate the sea. The host, Mr. Koro, did not give an explanation, so they could only guess and imagine.
Kisame, who is in Marinford, cleared up the doubts of his naval colleagues, "The Naga clan has a big problem, and that is difficulty in giving birth. After each birth, the Naga is the weakest and cannot fight against the outside world for less than half a year."
While Naga is loved by Mother Sea, she is also restricted by her, and her fertility is even worse than that of the mermaids of the sea clan.
After a Naga mates with other males, it is not 100% certain that she will produce offspring. Usually, she will have to change men many times until she can become pregnant.
The Nagas believe that the stronger the male, the greater the chance of producing offspring after mating with them. Their race is inherently strong-willed and hates weak males.
Admiral Kizaru and his colleagues were listening to everyone's stories. His way of thinking was a little different from ordinary people, and he could always think of angles that others hadn't thought of. He couldn't help but interrupt and said, "Kaihu, tell me the truth, since you know so much about Naga, have you ever had a physical relationship with a Naga?"
Borsalino has the most yellow waste in his head among all the admirals. The admirals are usually very busy, and only he has some free time to indulge in wild thoughts.
However, he really hit the jackpot by accident. By making blind guesses, he made Kisame stop talking immediately. The people around him were all smart and immediately realized that there was gossip here.
Unlike Kizaru, who had all the bad intentions in his heart, Artoria took the initiative to speak for Kisame: "It's a personal matter, the navy won't care too much about it, you don't have to say it if you don't want to."
Kisame was very grateful that Altria spoke for him, but after thinking for a moment, he was ready to say, "I had a bad relationship with a certain Naga, and I learned about the history of the Naga tribe through her."
Human beings have not developed even one percent of the ocean. Even most of the marine creatures living in the sea have never entered the dark and bottomless seabed.
The sea water pressure ten thousand meters below is so high that ordinary people cannot bear it. The deep sea where the Naga tribe lives is so deep that Kisame cannot predict it, and conventional measuring instruments can no longer be used.
Kisame entered the Naga tribe's ruling area through his benefactor Leviathan, and accidentally met the Naga Queen's maid, thus creating a fateful relationship.
"The Nagas don't have much concept of beauty and ugliness, and they don't care about these things. They only care about whether their partner is strong and whether they can have offspring with her."
Unfortunately, although the Naga and the Sea people had the same distant ancestor, they completely parted ways at a certain period in the ancient times and gradually evolved into two races.
The Naga tribe was trapped in the deep sea and lived close to the crater. This terrible situation was caused by the sea tribe.
"The legend of the Naga tribe says that the sea god and the mermaid princess once joined forces to expel the entire Naga tribe and exiled them to the bottomless sea. This hatred has been passed down to this day."
After learning of this legend, Kisame immediately chose to run away and had several rounds of battles with the adult female warriors of the Naga tribe.
In order to escape at that time, he did not use more powerful water-style ninjutsu, but only injured a few Naga female warriors.
The reason for running away is not only myths and legends, but also a story he heard from the Naga he had slept with, that the Naga Queen was going to take her entire tribe out of the deep sea to seek revenge on the newly born mermaid princess.
The Navy doesn't know that Princess Shirahoshi is an ancient weapon, and Kisame doesn't want to mention it for now. The Mermaid Princess is the last trump card of the sea people, and the last means of self-preservation for all the sea people.
