Chapter 120: Raise your hand if you want to go to Fishman Island
"Because this time I came out not only to send the Celestial Dragons back to the holy land, but also to prove something to people." When talking about this, Princess Otohime's eyes seemed to shine.
"I want them to prove that even though I am weaker than an average person, I can return safely after going to the surface of the sea. I hope that at least it will make them no longer fear humans."
Princess Otohime is a goldfish mermaid with a weaker constitution than the average person. Even slapping someone in the face would result in a broken wrist.
"But if something happens to you, the situation will become even worse, right? And Marijoa... even if you are a princess, those people will not have any scruples." Zhang Da also asked himself if he could do such a rash thing.
If he were an ordinary murloc, he would probably stay in the Murloc Island and practice murloc karate, and go out for a stroll whenever he had ten thousand tiles.
"But I'm back safely. If you want the fishmen and humans to live in peace, you must start with mutual understanding and trust. However, we are separated by ten thousand meters of deep sea, and we can't wait for humans to take that step first. So why don't I take the lead in trying to trust humans." Princess Otohime smiled brightly. The effect of her speech activities on Fishman Island had reached its limit. This trip to the holy land was of great significance to her.
If her behavior failed, she would probably be laughed at by many people as naive, stupid, or something like that. But if it succeeded in the end, or when people remembered her story several years later, they would probably say that she was courageous and far-sighted, and made brave explorations for the future of the merfolk.
"Great." Zhang Da did not agree with her approach, but he would not despise or ridicule someone who was willing to risk his own life for the future of his clan.
"I am just fulfilling my duty as a princess." Princess Otohime asked, "Compared to this, I noticed that you don't seem to hate fish-people?"
"We don't hate any race, we just hate bad people." Zhang Da also laughed, "In fact, we have a friend named Kemi, who occasionally runs out from Fishman Island to play with us, but she is only in her teens and her confused personality is very worrying."
Altria agreed, "Race is not what we judge a person by, but what is in their heart."
Rui Mengmeng nodded hurriedly: "Yeah, yes, that's right, Kemi is very good and cute."
Shark Chili did not comment. First of all, he didn't know Cami yet. Secondly, he was a robot, created just to help the doctor find the planet Peace. Moreover, their B series robots had always been treated the same as humans, and he didn't have any greater ambitions.
Although Princess Otohime didn't know Kemi, she knew that the child named Kemi must have secretly run to the sea and met these people by coincidence. Such curious children were not uncommon in Fishman Island, but her focus was not here:
"Friends...are you willing to make friends with the fishmen? That's great!" Princess Otohime almost cried for joy. She has always believed that there are evil people among humans, and there are more kind people who are willing to accept them.
"Well... I advise you not to be too happy too soon. We can't represent the majority of people. In fact, many ordinary people have no idea about fish-men. Even if they have some impression, it mostly comes from pirates. Just like you said, they are afraid because they don't know enough about them."
Zhang Da also remembered that when they talked about Jinbe being one of the Seven Warlords of the Sea, Uncle Goodman told him this: all they had heard about and seen were pirates, and they had never seen ordinary fish-men.
"That's enough, that's enough, it's enough to know that people like you exist!" Princess Otohime felt that everything she had done was meaningful, and the future of Fishman Island must be full of hope.
Princess Otohime finally managed to control her emotions, organized her words, and said expectantly, "I know it's a bit presumptuous to say this all of a sudden, but can I invite you all to Fishman Island as my guests?"
Everyone was stunned. A few days ago, they were talking about whether they could go to Fishman Island for a trip on a Giant Shark. Unexpectedly, they received an invitation from the Princess of Fishman Island today.
"Is this... convenient?" Zhang Da also thought that Princess Yiji would have a lot of things to do when she returned this time.
Princess Otohime nodded and said, "Of course it's convenient. It's a great help. All the pirates that everyone has seen so far are vicious pirates, so they are resistant. I want them to see kind people like ."
Zhang Da was also a little tempted. After staying here for so long, he really wanted to go out and take a look. Taking the boat from Fishman Island would definitely ensure safety. Even if something unexpected happened, the giant shark could take them back to the surface of the sea quickly.
"Then... raise your hands if you want to go to Fishman Island."
Altria was the first to raise her hand. She wanted to see what a country would be like with such an outstanding princess.
Shark Chili raised his hand: "I want to see what a real fishman looks like."
He's been beaten for this, so he should at least find out what the root cause of the misunderstanding is, right?
Rui Mengmeng raised her hand as well. She wanted to see what Kimi’s hometown was like.
Tom jumped up and down and raised his hands. One hand was not enough, so he raised two because everyone was afraid of leaving him behind.
Zhang Da also counted the numbers seriously: "Okay, all votes passed. Thank you for the invitation, Princess Yiji."
Princess Otohime said happily, "It's an honor to invite you all!"
"Could you please wait for us here for a while? I need to make some preparations." Zhang Da also thought that he had to go back and pack up before going out.
"Of course, I'll take you there." Princess Otohime saw that this place was a bit far from the Sabaody Archipelago.
"No, this island is not very friendly to you." Zhang Da also declined her kindness, "Shark Chili, stay here to protect the princess, I will help you take your things."
"Leave it to me, rest assured." The only luggage Shark Chili wanted to take was toothpaste, and he knew that Zhang Da understood him.
"Boss, what should we do about this?" Rui Mengmeng pointed at the unlucky sea king.
"Cut off a part of it and keep it here. It will be fresh when the time comes. I will contact the owner of the seafood store for the rest and make some extra money." In fact, Zhang Da also doubted whether the small seafood store had the ability to handle such a large sea king.
Before getting off the boat, Zhang Da also glanced at Princess Otohime, who was smiling: "Are you too confident in us? It was just a coincidence that we killed this sea king and helped you. What if we were the bad guys who deceived you?"
Princess Otohime put a hand on her chest and smiled, "I can feel your sincerity."
Zhang Da also suddenly realized that he had almost forgotten that this person possessed a special observation Haki. He just didn't know to what extent she could do it. He asked tentatively: "Mind reading?"
Princess Otohime explained, "It's not that exaggerated. I just feel the strong emotions deep in other people's hearts."
She can also easily empathize with other people's feelings. She once taught a person who had gone astray because of his difficult family background a lesson with tears in her eyes. While beating him, she said, "I feel your sadness." That was not just a polite remark, but true empathy.
It is precisely because she speaks from the other person's perspective that the person being taught can easily accept her teachings and reform.
Perhaps it was thanks to this ability that I was able to influence that celestial dragon.
