"Otohime sent me a book and asked me to read it carefully. She will take the test when she goes home to visit her family. It's so tiring."
"Sorry, I got off topic. There are a few really good sentences in the book."
“I could have endured the darkness if I had never seen the light.
She has seen the light we want in the South China Sea, like the sun on the sea.
In order to preserve this light, Otohime is willing to sacrifice her life."
The ministers had nothing to say. The policies and development of the South China Sea, as well as the status of the fish people, were all public information, and they knew that.
It is indeed the fish people’s favorite sea paradise. Their families occasionally travel there and bring back all kinds of information and daily necessities from the outside world.
The entire Fishman Island is being subtly influenced.
"It is our clan's mission to wait for the legend to save Fishman Island, but what if we don't obey the mission and achieve our goal with our own hands?
It seems that no one has tried this road in the past 800 years. So let me try it. "
"No, King. You are King Neptune of Fishman Island. This will bring disaster to Fishman Island."
Reason is reason, survival is survival.
"Yeah, that makes sense. Sharkstar!"
"Father!"
"From now on, Shark Star will inherit the throne, and I will lead the guards to the South China Sea to participate in the war!"
"Father, no! It would be better for me to go and help mother."
“No need, I heard from Otohime that Mr. Noah works so hard because he hopes to end all suffering in this era.
Instead of letting the younger generation continue to work hard. Look, this is the realm of a great thinker.
Otohime and I thought it was very well said.
Then Shark Star, you, Yellow Star, and Flip Star, take good care of your sister White Star and don’t let her suffer any injustice.”
After saying that, he put the crown on Shark Star's head.
“I’m sorry, my son, there’s not much time left, and it’s your father’s fault for making your accession to the throne so rudimentary.
From now on, protect Fishman Island. Also, I won’t go to Shirahoshi’s place, because I’m afraid I won’t be able to leave if I go.
Finally, if you see your father die in battle on TV, don’t tell my little princess.”
At the end of his speech, the voice of the former king, who had always had poor emotional management, trembled.
After saying that, he turned around and walked out of the hall.
"Father, do you really have to go?"
“Well, in this era, someone has to pay, so why can’t it be me?
For everyone, for Fishman Island, for... you."
Shark Star watched with tears in his eyes as the tall figure walked out of the hall.
Riding on a 40-meter-long whale mount and holding a trident, Neptune exudes an aura of iron and blood.
He is no longer King Neptune of Fishman Island, but the Great Knight of the Sea, Neptune!
"Royal Guards, those of you who are willing to follow me to the South China Sea to die, please prepare to set off!"
"Yes!"
Hahahahaha!
All that was left for Ryugu Castle was the king's heroic laughter.
Neptune from Ryugugu City and 200 of his personal guards are heading to the South China Sea to join the war!
At this moment on the sea, some are weighing gains and losses, some are watching coldly, some are ready to die bravely, and some are mourning the loss of their parents.
Investors on the sea, from great nobles, big chambers of commerce, to various fundraising groups, have all fallen into despair. My money~~~~!
The revolutionary army tricked them into going in and killing them. Some people had to sell their assets to get on board, and some were so crazy that they took on debt to get on board.
As crazy as it was before, it's even crazier now.
It is said that a large number of people have jumped into the sea, all of whom were once powerful tycoons.
Before jumping, they would mutter things like "It's gone, all gone." "They are all liars." "The South China Sea Federation will not die a good death."
Alas, the sea beasts have all been fed and become fat.
The saddest and most desperate people here must be the talented people in the Seven Water City.
The biggest enemy among the enemies, the geniuses who have to use all kinds of bribes and connections to get on the bus.
The mayor had been hung from a street lamp in front of the office building.
He was a decent man when he was alive, but when he was hung up, he didn't even have a pair of pants.
Other great nobles followed in the mayor's footsteps.
As the first group of people to try it out, they attracted too much capital to flow in.
It would be fine if it was just him who lost money, but in the later stage, in order to maintain his shareholding ratio, he frantically gave loopholes to his relatives and friends, giving others the opportunity to get on board.
At the most rampant time, in order to participate in the sea train project, a lot of people waved money and asked the predecessors of the Seven Water City to introduce them to the internal personnel of the South China Sea Federation.
It was such a glorious time back then, but what about now?
In the blink of an eye, everything was gone. The house was gone, the boat was gone, all the property was gone.
Even if I didn't commit suicide, the problem would be even more serious. The CP department's scrutiny and the hatred of business partners were more deadly than the other.
The Seven Water City was instantly quiet, and the people here were also bewildered, as they had not lost anything.
With various orders from the shipyard, you will make a lot of money.
The Nanhai Federation’s project and material payments are all paid in cash, and are guaranteed to be distributed to every worker without any arrears or delays.
So no one loses anything.
It is really ironic that a world has emerged in which only capitalists are hurt.
It turns out that regulated funds are so safe.
So what about the South China Sea, the center of the storm?
Chapter 379 The Revolutionary Army is also in a meeting
Noah took Robin across the entire ocean and finally landed directly on the Island of Resurrection.
Because the speed was so fast, Noah's face turned a little pale.
The high-intensity use of fruit abilities consumes too much physical strength.
Entering the conference room, it seemed that he and Robin were the last to arrive.
After a quick glance, almost everyone was present.
Ryu, Fujitora, Kuma, Tiger, Jinbe, Otohime, Dr. Tsukimi, Taizog, Bonnie, the commanders of the four armies, and... the one-armed Xiao Feng and Eva's deputy Lightning, and Brook?
Oh, yes, it was he who saved Xiao Feng.
Noah and Robin were the last to arrive.
Sitting next to the dragon, the meeting began.
The atmosphere was a bit depressing and solemn, or rather, in addition to hatred, there was more panic and confusion.
When faced with a behemoth like the World Government, everyone was a little overwhelmed.
It is understandable that there is panic.
In this situation, Noah had to break the atmosphere.
Otherwise you will be defeated before the battle even begins.
"Everyone thinks the Revolutionary Army is doomed this time."
"Everyone includes the navy, the World Government, pirates, civilians, and ourselves."
"But, so what."
“We knew that when we decided to do this.”
"Eva is dead. When he followed Long out to sea to do these things, didn't he know the consequences?
The parliamentarians and delegates to the World Conference died too, and they knew it.”
"Who among the comrades who sacrificed themselves in the past so many years didn't know that they would die?"
“Then why are we still doing it?”
"Some people also suggested a strategic shift. As for what a strategic shift means, everyone knows it."
"I understand the principles, and I can even write a few very representative and wise words."
"If you save the land and lose the people, both the people and the land will be lost; if you save the people and lose the land, both the people and the land will be saved."
"But, we can leave, but what about the civilians in the South China Sea?"
"The Demon Killer Order. Unfortunately this is the second time I have faced it. The last time was in O'Hara."
"The bombardment destroyed all life on the island, and the huge Tree of All-Knowing burned like a giant torch in the sea."
"I went back once afterwards, and there was only white land left on the island, like the ash after burning. There was nothing left on the island. No civilization, no life, no wisdom."
"I'm really scared. But I'm also looking forward to it."
"God cannot shed blood! This is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity!
Let the whole world see them bleeding, and they will no longer have a place!"
"In the end, I will not leave. Even if I die here in battle. This sea needs our blood to awaken it!"
Jinbei led the applause, and the others followed suit.
This effect...
"Everyone is equally aware, they are just thinking about how to fight. But the writing is good, and it would be a good choice to record it and broadcast it on the Voice of the South China Sea column."
Long still answered Noah's question very pertinently.
Well, Noah was self-righteous.
Now onto tactics.
"Um, Your Highness Otohime, you are not going back to Ryugu Castle?"
"No, I am a staunch revolutionary fighter. Does Mr. Noah look down on me?"
Otohime's thin body stood up in an instant, and she slammed the table and started to scold Noah.
What do you mean by looking down on her? She has recently developed some very powerful skills, which can definitely beat up a general in the face.
Noah was speechless and had to apologize repeatedly before the incident ended.
“Okay, enough nonsense. Although the World Government’s declaration of war was rather sudden, we have long been prepared to be exposed at any time.
I just didn't expect it to happen so early. The revolutionary army has not yet fully developed, and we lost the right time for this battle.
But we have the advantage of location and people.”
Taizog was a little puzzled as to where this geographical advantage came from.
"It's very simple. The South China Sea is a geographical advantage. We have been operating the South China Sea for so long, isn't it time to use it now?
As long as we choose the battlefield, we can make arrangements in advance and have a serious fight with the world government.
Logically, if they are a few big generals coming to sweep us, then our tactics should be to use the strategic depth of the South China Sea to fight guerrilla warfare and wear them down by slowly reducing their numbers.
But this sea is dominated by high-end combat power after all. They also locked several key nodes.
The most important thing is that the Demon-Slaying Order is to destroy every island we see, causing us to lose our strategic range.
The world government's brutality was beyond our expectations, and this was our biggest weakness. I made a mistake.
So we had to choose a location for the decisive battle."
