"Okay! 22"

"it is good!"

Silver Axe's eyes widened in disbelief. He abruptly stood up, a terrifying aura suddenly emanating from his body. But the next moment! Silver Axe narrowed his eyes, all his aura vanishing without a trace. He said in a low voice, "Suzuka Gozen, remember this! I want to see if you can stay under Fishman Island's protection forever! Or rather, what can you do!"

hum~~~

A vortex suddenly appeared behind Silver Axe, and he miraculously disappeared through it. Suzuka Gozen looked at the vortex, pondered for a moment, and murmured softly, "A space-time Devil Fruit ability, hmm..."

After a little thought, she roughly understood. Since it was a space-type Devil Fruit ability, escaping would be an easy task. As for Devil Fruits? Suzuka Gozen had done some research on them, and these things were quite useful.

"Leave no one behind!"

Suzuka Gozen, watching the Silver Axe Pirates descend into utter panic and chaos as Silver Axe departed, calmly issued the order: Leave no one alive! Eliminate them all.

"Yes!"

Wind Fox and Tiger were completely bloodthirsty, leading the Seven Kingdoms and the Sea Kingdom's sea monsters in a frenzied sweep. In a short time, the entire Silver Axe Pirates had been dealt with, almost completely wiped out.

The two sides were simply not on the same level of strength from beginning to end. This outcome was already beyond doubt. In a short time, everything was settled, and the battle had come to an end. Suzuka Gozen saw that everything was over and prepared to leave.

at this time!

Neptune and his wife, Otohime, hurried over and said anxiously, "Um! Um! Lady Suzuka, please wait a moment, please wait a moment!"

"Um?!"

Suzuka Gozen stopped and turned to look at the couple, saying calmly, "Is there something you need?"

Normally, Suzuka Gozen wouldn't be interested in humans at all. However! Neptune and Otohime are both mermaids, and Suzuka Gozen is also a merman, so it's not so bad! They are somewhat related, so naturally, Suzuka Gozen's attitude improved.

What's more! This is Tiger's home, and Tiger is now a siren of Suzuka Mountain. That's the real reason why Suzuka Gozen is willing to give him some face. Otherwise, do you think Suzuka Gozen would be someone who's willing to give face? Don't be ridiculous! That's simply impossible.

"Suzuka Gozen-sama!"

Neptune strode over and said respectfully, "I would like to prepare a banquet for you, and I hope you will..."

Suzuka Gozen replied without hesitation, "No need! I'm not interested in any of that. Our Sea Kingdom helped Fishman Island only because of Tiger. Tiger endured endless suffering and became a part of us. That's why I'm willing to help you. I'm not interested in anything else."

"Yes!"

Neptune nodded, but he still wanted to say something, yet he didn't know what to say. To be honest, after this experience, Neptune finally understood that the idea of ​​peaceful coexistence with humans was nonsense. The best way was to seek protection, and only the protection of the strong could ensure that Fishman Island could truly live in peace.

honestly!

Neptune originally understood this principle only after experiencing a series of changes. Now, seeing Tiger's transformation, Neptune understands it ahead of time: on this vast ocean, everything else is meaningless; only power is the most important core.

Regardless of the circumstances, he needed to seek out a powerful figure to protect Fishman Island. As for his queen's thoughts? Neptune knew this was the right thing to do; he had always supported his queen. However, it was impossible to resolve the matter quickly because of power! Fishman Island was simply too weak.

"Suzuka Gozen-sama..."

Tiger and Windbee also walked over. Both of them stopped and remained calm, without saying anything. Even Tiger opened his mouth but then kept it closed.

All the sea monsters remained remarkably calm in the face of this situation. They understood perfectly well that helping you this once was the right thing to do, after all, you were their future family. But if you continued down this shameless path, the consequences you would face in the future were already beyond question.

"I know what you're thinking."

Suzuka Gozen was an extremely intelligent person. She knew very well what Neptune and Otohime wanted to do. After a moment's thought, she calmly asked, "Tell me what you are willing to give up, Sea Kingdom! If you want to protect Fishman Island, then you will have to pay the price."

honestly!

Hearing this makes it clear that this is a matter between our Sea Kingdom and Wano Country. As for what price you are willing to pay to have our Sea Kingdom protect you, then you must pay the price.

actually!

The Sea Kingdom is incredibly powerful, far surpassing any of the strongest pirate crews in the world today. Moreover, as time goes on, if their Devil Fruit powers catch up, their strength will become even more terrifying.

hmm~~~

To put it another way, Seimei's meaning in letting Orochi and Suzuka Gozen go out and run around freely was very simple: Go out and run around! Run however you want, go and earn money. Anyway, that's all I have here. If you earn enough money, that would be the best thing.

"500 billion Baileys!"

Neptune, with his immense wealth, immediately offered 500 billion Berries, saying, "Lord Suzuka! 500 billion Berries! For you, Fish-Man Island is willing to pay 500 billion Berries every year, as long as you are willing to protect Fish-Man Island."

honestly!

Why does everyone want Fishman Island? The reason is very simple! Because Fishman Island is incredibly rich! It's so rich that it would be strange if you didn't expect it. Fishman Island is located 10,000 meters below the surface of the ocean, and it has a large number of shipwrecks! It's also a treasure trove of the deep sea! These are things that the Fishmen can easily obtain, and even the Sea Kings rarely attack them.

Under such circumstances, would you say Fishman Island is rich or poor? To put it bluntly, the World Government is suppressing Fishman Island and preventing it from developing. In addition, Fishman Island's geographical location is too special. Those who pass by are basically pirates. Otherwise, given Fishman Island's current level of development, it would have already become a superpower comparable to the Giant Kingdom of Elbaf.

Don't forget! The fishmen of Fishman Island also possess amazing talent. What if they were given time to continue growing? In fact, that's already beyond doubt! Given time, they can grow rapidly, and at that time, the Fishman Kingdom of Dragon Palace will grow rapidly.

Of course!

Regardless of the circumstances, the fact that Fishman Island is wealthy is undeniable.

"Hmm~"

Suzuka Gozen simply shook her head calmly and said, "Sorry, it's not enough! Money is meaningless to us. We need Devil Fruits. If you can provide us with Devil Fruits that satisfy us, then that will be enough."

"Devil Fruit?"

"what?!"

Neptune and Otohime were both stunned, staring at Suzuka Gozen in astonishment. Otohime pondered for a moment and said, "Lady Suzuka Gozen, how about our Fish-Man Island offers 500 billion Berries and 30 Devil Fruits every year? But those are unidentified Devil Fruits; we can't be sure what they are!"

"..."

Suzuka Gozen frowned slightly. Judging from the two of them, she knew that they definitely possessed more Devil Fruits. However, this was an absurd thing. Although she hadn't been in this world for very long, she knew that possessing a Devil Fruit could lead to a significant power boost, and at that point, everything would be completely different.

but!

Suzuka Gozen understood after a moment's thought. For the Fish-Men and Mermaids, they were like the darlings of the sea, or rather, they were children of the sea, considering the sea their mother. So what did eating the Devil Fruit represent? It was already self-evident.

As for the fish-men, they obtained a great many Devil Fruits in the deep sea, and they handed most of them over to the Ryugu Kingdom. They didn't really care about anything else.

"so……"

Suzuka Gozen immediately understood what she meant and calmly said, "Tiger, go and raise the flag of the Sea Kingdom! From today onwards, Fishman Island will be under the protection of the Sea Kingdom."

Chapter 128: The Sea Kingdom Monsters Who Have Greatly Increased Their Strength!

Under the cover of night!

Fishman Island prepared a grand banquet, and after the banquet, Suzuka Gozen declined the invitation and returned to the ghost ship, bringing back the Devil Fruit she had already brought back. Also brought back was a large amount of gold and silver treasure stored in storage talismans. To be honest, Fishman Island is truly wealthy; the entire island is filled with countless rare and precious treasures, and this vast collection of treasures is the core of its wealth!

Fishman Island is rich! Their wealth is evident here, whether it's the rare treasures of the deep sea or the loot from sunken pirate ships. On the other hand, Berries? Those things are extremely rare on Fishman Island; they're practically nonexistent.

"Suzuka Gozen-sama!"

As soon as she stepped onto the ghost ship, Suzuka Gozen saw Tiger kneeling respectfully on the ground in the samurai posture. Suzuka Gozen calmly said, "Tiger, Fishman Island's protection is because they paid the price they should have paid. There's no need to say more!"

Done.

Suzuka Gozen and Tiger brushed past each other. Although their figures passed each other by, tears welled up in Tiger's eyes. Some things are said so easily, but they are never that easy! Or rather, some things are like this, but that's only how they appear!

"Suzuka Gozen-sama!"

"Under..."

Tears welled in Tiger's eyes, but his expression grew increasingly serious, a sharp glint appearing in his eyes. He knew he couldn't let his guard down; he had to be even more diligent and work even harder. Only in this way could he be qualified to report to Lady Suzuka. Otherwise, everything would be meaningless.

To put it bluntly! Suzuka Gozen's protection is undeniable, but! Don't forget, what if Suzuka Gozen were to directly rob them? Actually, that's also undeniable! After all, the power of the Sea Kingdom is far more terrifying than that of the Silver Axe Pirates, and Fishman Island would still have to hand over all its wealth—that's the only outcome. That's why Suzuka Gozen can disregard it; she considers Tiger family.

but!

Tiger couldn't be so shameless. He needed to show even more respect to Lady Suzuka, otherwise, would he be seen as nothing more than a shameless piece of trash? Stop kidding! This was absolutely unacceptable! At the very least, Tiger wouldn't allow himself to be so shameless.

"All right!"

Yun, Xu, and Shan walked over and said casually, "Tiger, you don't need to be so nervous. Just train harder and improve yourself in the future! Otherwise, you'll really be letting down Lady Suzuka!"

"Ok!"

Tiger nodded quietly, his expression very serious. He knew very well what he should do. Suzuka Gozen didn't particularly care about these things. She had absolute confidence that no matter what, would the person she had chosen do something so shameful? Impossible!

……

Ghost ship!

hmm~~~

Actually, the ghost ship is a very special life form with hidden spaces inside. These spaces are hidden, and what can be revealed in the end will be even larger. In other words, the number of people that the ghost ship can hold is terrifying. As long as the space is expanded to a huge enough size, the more people it can hold inside.

The Suzuka Gozen ghost ship could easily accommodate at least tens of thousands of people. This is only because the Suzuka Gozen did not continue to expand; otherwise, it could definitely accommodate even more. This is an undeniable fact and a very important point!

Of course, Suzuka Gozen's expression was also very calm. She entered the study of the ghost ship, looked at the wind fox who was already waiting there, and said indifferently, "Wind Fox."

Fuuri laughed and said, "Lady Suzuka! This harvest is indeed quite good. The money isn't much, but the profit from the Devil Fruits is unexpected. Thirty Devil Fruits! Fishman Island certainly has a lot of wealth!"

"indeed!"

Suzuka Gozen sat down and nodded, saying, "That's right. This is something we never expected. The final result is quite unexpected. However, it's only natural that Fishman Island would be handed over to us."

Suzuka Gozen considered all of this to be perfectly natural, or rather, for a yokai, this was the most important law: you entrust me with the place of protection I should entrust, and I will protect you; this is what you should do. And this faint voice said nothing more; everything was laid bare before her eyes.

"but!"

Fengli pondered for a moment and said, "Lady Suzuka Gozen, should we hand over the Devil Fruit directly to Lord Seimei? Or should we use it ourselves now?"

Suzuka Gozen calmly said, "Use it yourself. The strength of the Sea Kingdom is still too weak. Such strength is meaningless. This sea is not safe! If it is only this kind of power, then the result will be very troublesome."
