The next day.
New World, Kingdom of Prodance.
The Prodance Kingdom is currently in a state of excitement. The citizens are currently gathering all over the city streets to welcome the representatives of the Ryugu Kingdom and Amazon Lily Kingdom who will later come to sign the cooperation with them. In addition, the Prodance Kingdom was also used as a place for signing and not the Fortis Kingdom, this is because the three leaders of the three kingdoms, especially for Elizabello II and also Neptune, do not want to make Ars difficult, especially the Fortis Kingdom is currently under construction.
At this time in the port of the Prodance Kingdom, Iru and his troops who were already there lined up neatly to welcome the arrival of the representatives of the Ryugu Kingdom and the representatives of the Amazon Lily Kingdom.
"How was all the preparations? No problems at the moment?" Iru asked his subordinates.
"Ready! Everything is under control now. All residents have also been arranged neatly"
"Good" Iru nodded, "Keep monitoring the situation and also direct the troops to stay on guard. We don't know who will have the bad intentions that will attack the representatives of each kingdom later. It will only lower our percentage in their eyes and will also experience problems during the signing process."
"Ready!"
The subordinate immediately carried out Iru's orders.
It didn't take long for the previously calm sea to suddenly surmount with great surging. The ocean also raises bubbles that rise to the top. Iru who has a fairly good ability of Observation Haki can feel the changes that occur and he can also feel that there is a group of people under the sea.
"Everything!" Iru shouted loudly, "The representatives of the Ryugu Kingdom have finally arrived! Please be able to keep the situation under control!"
The troops immediately prepared their postures perfectly while the citizens near the harbor immediately shouted excitedly calling out the name of the Fortis Kingdom.
The purpose of the citizens to watch this other than the feeling of excitement. Another goal is to see the Fish-Man Princess, Shirahoshi. They got word that the Fish-Man Princess was coming and her beauty could even compete with Boa Hancock, Lowellmina, and the others. This is also what causes many men who currently occupy the area near the port and some even bring cameras to capture the moment.
*buzz*
Finally a large ship appeared which was followed by a large whale with Neptune standing on the whale carrying his trident.
"Finally!" One of the residents exclaimed excitedly.
"Look! It's King Neptune! He's so cool~"
The whale carrying Neptune slowly approached followed by the ship carrying Jinbey and the others until they all stopped right at the dock that had been prepared.
Iru immediately walked up to them and said, "Welcome to the Kingdom of Prodance, King Neptune and entourage"
"Thank you for the welcome, Commander Iru" Neptune said with a smile while shaking Iru's hand.
"There she is! Finally the Princess Appears!" The residents exclaimed when Shirahoshi got out of the ship and her beauty was immediately seen by the residents, especially the men.
"Rumors are true! She's really pretty, she can even compete with Empress Boa Hancock and other high-ranking officers of the Fortis Kingdom" exclaimed another resident.
"Ah~ She's like an angel. If only I could marry her, I would be very happy."
"Hahahaha… That was a stupid dream" His friend beside his said, "There's no way Princess Shirahoshi likes us. She must already have a fixed partner with her."
Shirahoshi listened to the comments. Shirahoshi who had just ascended to the mainland with such a large number of people saw her immediately became very scared and nervous, "Oka-sama…"
"Don't be afraid, Shirahoshi" Otohime said with a smile, "They are just flattering you. They have no ill will towards you. You can reply to them with a smile and then wave your hand."
"That said, Oka-sama is right Shirahoshi" Fukaboshi added with a smile, "You are the future leader of the Ryugu Kingdom. You have to be able to solve this problem."
"You have to be strong, Shirahoshi" Ryuboshi said, "That way, the Ryugu Kingdom in the future will become a kingdom that is respected by many other kingdoms Do-re-mi-fa-so-la-si-do"
"Truly. You can give them your smile, Shirahoshi. They will be very happy to have it," said Manboshi.
"Is it true?" Shirahoshi asked with a face full of curiosity, "Are they also good people like the higher-ups of the Fortis Kingdom and its inhabitants?"
"Hahaha…" Jinbey laughed and said, "Although not all humans are good people. However, they could be classified as good people like the residents of the Fortis Kingdom. You can return their greetings with a smile and a wave of your hand."
"Um…" Shirahoshi nodded then slowly raised her head with a smile then waved her hand following the teachings that Otohime had previously taught her.
"Ah! She waved her hand!"
"Her smile is so cute !"
"I–I… I fell in love with her!"
All the men who saw Shirahoshi's waving and combined with smiles instantly fainted on the spot.
"Eh? This… How did this happen?" Shirahoshi was surprised by the phenomenon because this was the first time she had encountered the phenomenon.
"Hahaha… Princess" Iru suddenly called out and said, "There's no need to worry. They're just happy to get a greeting from someone like you."
"Are they okay?" Shirahoshi asked in a slightly worried tone.
"They are fine. It only takes a few minutes of waiting, rest assured. They will come back to their senses after that."
"I see." Shirahoshi nodded.
"Commander Iru, long time no see" Jinbey immediately walked towards Iru while raising his hand.
"Long time no see, Jinbey" Iru returned the greeting happily.
After Jinbey, Iru also returned greetings from several people who were there then said, "King Neptune, Your Majesty is currently waiting for your presence in the royal palace. We apologize in advance, due to body size problems, we cannot prepare transportation equipment that can help to get you there quickly."
"No need to worry about that, Commander Iru" Neptune said, "I don't really mind that either. After all, we also still want to take a look at your kingdom before arriving at the royal palace" Neptune paused and continued, "Has Empress Amazon Lily arrived yet?" Ask Neptune.
"Not yet" Iru shook his head, "You guys are the first representatives to arrive here"
"That's good" Neptune sighed, "If the Empress has arrived, we can't keep her waiting to see the personality she has"
"Hahaha…" Iru laughed embarrassedly, "The Empress is someone who is difficult to control except for King Fortis. I'm not sure anyone can control it."
"Yes. There it is" Neptune nodded, "Even the two of us find it difficult to convince the Empress to have a meeting here in terms of signing a cooperation agreement . The Empress wants to do it in the Fortis Kingdom"
"I have also heard that from Your Majesty" Iru said, "At least it will take a lot of time for you to convince her"
"Um…" Neptune nodded.
"Then King Neptune. Let my subordinates help you to travel to the palace" Iru said, "I apologize for not being able to take you directly to see, Your Majesty. I need to be here to wait for the Empress and the other representatives."
"No problem, I know that" Neptune nodded.
Finally Neptune and the others immediately left the harbor under the guard of the Prodance Kingdom troops. During the trip to the royal palace, Shirahoshi and the others were very excited because they could see all kinds of new things in the Prodance Kingdom. They are also happy because during the trip, every citizen always welcomes them with great joy. There were even some residents who even gave some gifts, especially to Shirahoshi.
All the gifts were immediately held by the troops from the Ryugu Kingdom who had come along with them.
"One representative is coming" Iru muttered, "Only one more left and this one will be a bit more difficult" Iru sighed and started to think about how to deal with Boa Hancock's attitude and personality.
Even now Iru and his troops have prepared a carriage that will later be used by Hancock and also the people who will come with her to the royal palace.
Finally after waiting 15 minutes. The ship belonging to the Amazon Lily Kingdom has been spotted from the harbor. All residents, especially the men immediately cheered with enthusiasm.
"Everything!" Iru shouted again, "Don't do anything stupid! The representative who came at this time was Empress Amazon Lily who was famous for her temperament. If you don't want to be turned to stone, don't do stupid things."
All the residents did not care about this and continued to shout excitedly.
Finally the ship belonging to the Amazon Lily Kingdom landed at the port of the Prodance Kingdom. Hancock who was currently on the ship looked to the side which was the direction of the ship belonging to the Ryugu Kingdom.
"Looks like the representatives of the Ryugu Kingdom have arrived, Big Sister" Sandersonia said calmly.
"Hmph!" Hancock sniffed with a dissatisfied face, "Let's go and settle things here. I want to quickly solve my work problems so that I can quickly come to the Fortis Kingdom and make Ars acknowledge me"
Hancock and her two sisters immediately got off their ship where it was immediately greeted by Iru there.
Hancock's appearance immediately made all the residents, especially the men, scream with enthusiasm and joy.
"Hmph! Disgusting bastard!" Hancock muttered coldly which made Iru break out in a cold sweat.
"Welcome to the Prodance Kingdom, Empress. His Majesty as well as King Neptune are waiting for your presence in the royal palace" Iru said politely and didn't dare to do anything stupid.
"Hmph!" Hancock sniffed with pride, "Good. Let's go and finish today's business."
Hancock was immediately led to the carriage that had been prepared along with her two sisters. They were then led directly to the royal palace of the Prodance Kingdom.
Prodance Kingdom, Royal Palace, Meeting Room.
At this time in the meeting room that has been prepared. PAll the higher-ups from the two kingdoms have arrived there. Elizabello II and Neptune were currently discussing something while the others were doing their own thing.
"How is your current performance, Elizabello II? Have you succeeded in establishing your system of government?" Neptune asked with great interest.
"At least for now. It can be said that it's 50% completed." Elizabello II said calmly, "Regarding the matter of who will take up the position of department head. I've solved that problem. I would like to thank King Fortis for providing a crystal ball that is capable of revealing the information of each individual. That way, I can quickly find anyone who is suitable for the position of department head without any doubts at all." Elizabello II paused and continued, "The obstacle for now on my part is to build departmental offices and also start doing the division of tasks. Right now this is what I have to do."
Elizabello II paused and asked, "What about you?"
"My case is the same as yours" Neptune said, "I just need to do the office building of each department and start sharing the tasks that each department has to do. Also, I still need to find workers who will work in the department built by me." Neptune paused and continued, "Oh, yes. I saw that there was a notice board in the city park where it mentioned recruitment from the Fortis Kingdom. Does the Fortis Kingdom want to recruit more employees?"
Elizabello II nodded, "Yes. They will do it tomorrow. I got a call from Ars yesterday and asked me to promote it."
"Which department is ready on their side? Or, Ars wants to increase the number of construction workers?"
"Not. There is one department that is ready" Elizabello II said, "The department that is ready is the Department of Population."
"Department of Population?" Neptune became interested in this, "Looks like we will soon see a document called a visa and also a residence card as explained by Ars earlier to us"
Simultaneously, the meeting room door finally opened and Iru was seen walking into the meeting room followed by Hancock and her two sisters.
"The representatives of the Amazon Lily Kingdom, Empress Boa Hancock and her two sisters have finally arrived!"
"Hmph!" Hancock sniffed as she looked around her, "Everyone has gathered. How about we start signing this cooperative relationship?"
Elizabello II and Neptune looked at each other then sighed. Both of them knew by the attitude and personality of Hancock who was very proud of himself. Only Ars can control Hancock.
Both immediately agreed to Hancock's request and immediately started signing the cooperation relationship . However, before the signing occurs, each party looks at the documents that have been given to them to ensure that the contents of the cooperation agreement are still the same as previously determined.
After seeing that the contents of the cooperation agreement were the same as from the previous talks that had been determined. The three of them, namely Elizabello II, Neptune, and Hancock immediately signed the document which they were tasked with signing.
Finally!
Three Kingdoms.
Ryugu Kingdom.
Kingdom of Prodance.
Amazon Lily Kingdom.
Build a cooperative relationship !
After successful signing. Everyone enjoyed the banquet prepared by the Prodance Kingdom. Although the banquet was still lacking compared to the banquet prepared by the Fortis Kingdom. However, they still eat it.
Meanwhile on the port side of the Prodance Kingdom,
There was a passenger ship that finally landed at the Prodance Royal Harbor. This passenger ship contains people who have plans to move to the Prodance Kingdom because they want to be able to get the right to be able to get a visa from the Fortis Kingdom. One of the passengers on the ship was Bell who was the representative who was sent to meet the King of Prodance in order to ask him for help in contacting the King of Fortis - Ars.
"It's finally here…" muttered Bell with a feeling of excitement, "Now, all you have to do is go to the King of Prodance and ask him for help." Bell muttered and his gaze became very serious, "Your Majesty, Please wait a moment! I will definitely bring good news to you." Bell muttered seriously then he started walking towards the royal palace with a stern look.
