Fish-Man Island.
Ryugu Palace.
"The Great Knight of the Sea" Neptune frowned deeply as he listened to the report from a guard.
The racist view of fish-men is really difficult to eradicate, even in the future...
Even if we return to the surface one day, it may become a hidden danger.
But things like race cannot be controlled at all...
Neptune was deeply troubled, despite what Mr. Tom had said.
In the future era, the way to maintain order is not through kindness and preaching, but through law and justice.
But even so, Neptune felt uneasy.
He had discussed this issue with Tom, and Tom told him that after "peace" came, there was another layer that was maintained above law and justice——
Morality and education!
"I hope so······"
At least according to the information they obtained, in the Green Bit Kingdom, the dwarves were not bullied, and the royal family did not oppress humans or other races.
Today's Green Bit is home to more than just dwarves and humans.
The Longarm Tribe, the Longleg Tribe, and even the rarer Snakeneck Tribe also appear occasionally.
As for mermaids and fish-men, there are even more.
Feedback from compatriots there says that Green Bit is indeed a very equal place.
"An outsider is coming!"
"Is it the Straw Hat?"
"Yes!"
Neptune picked up his trident and looked into the distance.
Joy Boy·······Fish-Man Island, I will no longer attend your party!
·······
"Just drive him out. As for the rebellion in Fish-Man District... don't you want Tom to go?"
On the Den Den Mushi, Neptune shook his head.
"Thanks to your many years of care, we will take care of it, Straw Hat..."
"Let him come over. I have other plans. If you attack him now, others may not have backup preparations. On the contrary, it will disrupt my plan."
"I understand, and Shirahoshi apologizes to you. She said she is very sorry for you, but she has been taken care of by Jinbei a lot since she was a child, so..."
"I know, let her not blame herself. It's not a bad thing to have good intentions, but don't summon Sea Kings easily next time. The time has not come yet."
"Yes······"
Dylan thought for a moment after putting down the Den Den Mushi, Shirahoshi...
Tom met Shirahoshi once after visiting Fish-Man Island eight years ago, and Dylan himself had several phone calls with Neptune since then.
Over the years, Tom would take time to visit Fish-Man Island once or twice every year. In addition to visiting Shirahoshi, it also enhanced part of Fish-Man Island's power.
A year ago, Neptune finally made up his mind to stop waiting for Joy Boy.
"Brother, why don't we take back the Sabaody Archipelago?"
Nojiko asked while making tea for Dylan.
She doesn't understand some questions, so she asks them directly.
Nojiko finally breathed a sigh of relief after Nami was captured by Bell-mère.
Although Dylan strictly prohibited anyone other than senior officers from entering the cells on the ground floor, including Nojiko.
"That's a very troublesome place."
Dylan shook his head: "It's close to Mariejois. Once it is actually controlled by the Marines, those Celestial Dragons who have nothing to do all day will come down and run around again. Now -"
"It's not time to kill them yet, so just leave it alone. If they know the danger, they won't come down casually."
During a day as a Marine, you still have to follow some rules.
They were hammered in the lawless land, and the best that could happen was that Kizaru would run an errand and shoot the perpetrator.
But if they die on your my territory, it won't be that easy to deal with.
Even though they are pigs raised in captivity, as long as the "chip" is not removed, they still have the power to scare the world.
······
Vic stood in front of Dylan's desk;
"Doflamingo?"
"Yes."
He knew that the World Government had always wanted to eliminate Doflamingo. After all, he did know something about the "national treasure."
But Dylan doesn't think he knows the specifics.
After all, they left Mariejois at a very young age, and they were probably just indoctrinated with certain concepts since childhood.
For example, "Celestial Dragons are sacred and inviolable. Once someone offends Celestial Dragons, the national treasure will be triggered."
As for the idea that they "cannot attack Celestial Dragons directly," it may simply be for other Celestial Dragons to see, or it may be a privilege of Celestial Dragons themselves, rather than any bomb related to their bloodline.
After all, three of the four members of Doflamingo's family have died, and no monsters have appeared to avenge them.
"Chip"!
That should be the key.
"You go?"
Dylan looked at Vic and didn't say where he was going.
Vic shook his head: "I don't really want to go. I'm not familiar with that either."
Dylan laughed, sometimes finding it strange how this guy...
Why do you have such a tacit understanding with me?
Many times, he just said a simple word, or even looked at him, and Vic knew what he wanted to say and what he wanted to ask.
For example, what Dylan meant just now is that it is okay to kill Doflamingo, but someone needs to maintain the order of the "Underworld."
At least it can't lead to complete chaos for now, as this would be of no benefit to the people.
The guy in front of him understood instantly and quickly made his position clear.
"Then ask Stussy to come see me."
"OK."
Queen of the Pleasure District—Stussy.
Originally one of the emperors of the "Underworld," although Morgans was also one, Dylan did not want Morgans to completely control the Underworld.
It is not good for one company to dominate, especially when journalists get involved in too many transactions.
After I leave in the future, the world will also need to develop and advance under the constraints of all parties.
Be it the Peace Roundtable, Marine, Underworld, Balchico Islands, or Sky Island. No one party can completely overwhelm the other three parties.
Power needs supervision and constraints.
Excessive indulgence in the expansion of power will only accelerate the reincarnation of this world.
······
When Stussy came to G5, she glanced at the head under the arch.
"What a charming man."
No one around her paid attention to her; no one even received her.
Stussy didn't care at all. After being beaten here, that guy Morgans became honest for some reason.
Even the other emperors of the "Underworld" judged that Morgans had secretly belonged to G5.
"JOKER" is known to the world to be afraid of Rairyu, and the relationship between Morgans and G5 is ambiguous.
Now, the "Queen of the Pleasure District" herself has also entered the G5 fortress.
It seems that the Underworld is about to change.
When she came to the reception room, Dylan was chatting with Tahir.
When he saw Stussy come in, Dylan simply raised his chin and motioned for her to sit on the sofa next to him.
"Tahir, let's see what the headquarters means. I mean it's easier to chop off the head."
"Mainly the fruit of his stone man, which is very useful. You have to find a way to get it. There is also the Hobby-Hobby Fruit. This thing is too dangerous. It is almost a certain kill weapon. It must also be confiscated."
Tahir pondered for a while and then said, "The safest way is to grab Pica and Sugar, ask Kuzan to send them to Teach, and let Teach peel the fruit out."
Sugar's Devil Fruit turns living things into toys, which is not terrible. The most terrifying thing is that after this person is turned into a toy, everyone will forget about him.
At this moment, Stussy finally understood Vic's weird and gloating laughter when he came from the branch on the other side.
Are you just saying this in front of CP0 so openly?
Do I have no face?
Thinking of this, Stussy sat down obediently and listened to their chat with a smile.
"Catch him back. It's just a casual thing. When the time comes, you can do it and ask them to be careful when they start. Don't kill him directly."
The fate of a "Seven Warlords of the Sea" and "Emperor of the Underworld" and his men was decided amidst the laughter of the two.
