The king of the fishmen was very happy.

Neptune hesitated for half a second, and then answered firmly, "Yes!"

Then, he leaned down, put the golden trident next to him flat in his hand, and raised it high above his head in the direction of Xia Chen.

"This is the surrender of the king of the fishmen." Xia Chen felt something growing in his ears, and then a warm breath came, and then Robin's voice sounded.

Xia Chen did not answer immediately.

Although he had enough strength to protect Fishman Island, he would leave this world after all, and he would not be able to continue to exert influence at that time.

This could be a disaster for Fishman Island and the entire Dragon King's Abyss.

And Xia Chen has been thinking about one thing.

The world government has been intentionally or unintentionally preventing fishermen from going to the sea. Is it really just a simple suppression out of the mentality of alien races?

You should know that although fishmen are very different from humans, in fact, fishmen and humans have many similarities, as if they have an ancestor, and how they were formed, Xia Chen has two speculations.

The first is the natural cause theory.

A long time ago, a huge disaster occurred in the whole world, and most of the islands sank. The fishmen, who were originally human, had to seek opportunities for survival in the ocean.

Then they slowly evolved, and even were affected by some special devil fruit abilities, merging the genes of fish and humans, and then continuously optimizing, and then there are the current fishmen and mermaid races.

The second is the technological maturity theory.

According to the few words that Xia Chen learned in his previous life, the great scientist Vegapunk, who was called 500 years ahead of the human world, actually had so many inventions. It was just the analysis and reverse engineering of the super ancient civilization.

Of course, this is not to deny the other party's super invention ability. After all, the other party made a perfect artificial devil fruit with ease.

But the other party was not satisfied and thought it was a failure.

He was extremely demanding and focused on his own technical requirements.

However, the incomplete materials related to these materials were regarded as treasures by Caesar and even the Vinsmoke family.

It can be seen that if the other party casually showed a little bit of things in his hand, it would be enough for most forces to eat their fill.

In addition to the legend of the three ancient weapons, it is more likely that the fish-man tribe is a technological city tribe.

Of course, it can also be due to the interaction between devil fruits and technology.

As for why it is not a devil fruit made by technology.

After all, even artificial devil fruits, and even some natural devil fruits, have been successfully and batch-transplanted to robots.

Because the weight of some devil fruits is really much higher than technology. If one of the three major types of devil fruits, or some of them, is made by technology, Xia Chen believes this possibility, but these rule-based ones really don't make sense.

Of course, this does not overturn the previous saying that the cause of the devil fruit comes from people's wishes, desires, and prayers. After all, in this world, the higher the level of combat power, except for Xia Chen, it is basically a competition of willpower.

Domineering is the best embodiment and carrier of will.

This means that in this world, will can be collected through certain means.

So the top technology in this world was definitely extremely advanced.

Then based on the cause of technology, a possibility can be extended from this, which is the reason why fishmen were created.

Being able to travel 10,000 meters under the sea at will and not afraid of huge pressure, isn't it the best lifeguard and the best commander?

Who is being rescued?

Civilians who accidentally fell into the water or devil fruit ability users.

Who is being commanded?

Sea kings.

Then perhaps the first fishman came from the genetic experiment or devil fruit experiment that commanded the sea kings.

Of course, this can also be said the other way around. They originally wanted to create fishmen, but ended up creating sea kings first. After all, sea kings are the product of genetic mutations.

So back to the starting point, why did the world government deliberately suppress the fishmen?

Because the fishmen would affect their rule.

Some people might say that if they move the fishmen to the surface of the sea, even if someone can jump into the sea to escape, they can plan ahead and organize several demon-killing orders to wipe out most of the fishmen.

But the problem is that the remaining fishmen will go crazy.
Revenge, the damage caused by that time is immeasurable.

Now that they are trapped 10,000 meters below the sea, and given the status of a member country, it is indirectly conveying a message: work hard, perform well, and one day we will allow you to come to the surface of the sea to survive!

This also means that even if the fishmen are suppressed openly or secretly, the official will still not directly riot and resist.

However, they are trapped on dry land 10,000 meters deep and have limited living space, and the race is destined to not expand indefinitely.

Otherwise, with the fishmen... not mermaids, the terrifying fertility rate, it won't be long before a large part of the entire sea, or even most of the living space, belongs to them.

This is not good for humans and the world government.

Of course, there are other problems in this logical chain, such as Joy Boy's apology, and under his instigation, the former fish princess called on all the fishmen to build a giant ship together.

They want to board the sea by boat.

Why do they have to do this, when they can obviously reach it with their physical fitness?

Even if the physical condition of infants and young children is not good enough, or they also need to transfer corresponding assets, it is nothing more than running a few more times. So doing this should be more symbolic than practical.

According to Oda's habit of always borrowing a little from the east and a little from the west.

Noah's Ark originally preceded the allusions in the Bible. It was deified as the savior of mankind and carried the hope of world recovery.

If they rushed from the sea to the sea surface in a giant boat.

And in a certain sense, they were given the mark of civilization, which was to declare to the whole world that the fishmen were not aliens, not mindless beasts, they had their own civilization, and civilizations should be free and equal.

Just like humans can accept the three-handed tribe, the three-eyed tribe, and the long-legged tribe.

It is not a problem to accept another fishman.

Joyboy's dream should be to let all intelligent life live equally and freely in the sun. This is what Xia Chen speculated based on the information at this stage.

As for whether Joy Boy also sent a private message, Xia Chen felt that he did.

After all, humans are not gods.

It's just that he can't see what it is now.

Considering the complexity of the fishmen, it seems that there is no benefit for Xia Chen to accept the fishmen... except to gain a white star who is truly loyal to him.

So.

Xia Chen raised his hand, and the golden trident placed horizontally on Neptune's hands automatically floated up, and then under Xia Chen's operation, it turned into a gorgeous golden long sword. He knocked on Neptune's right shoulder three times.

A grand and magnificent symphony naturally sounded in the air.

"I, Xia Chen, the Dragon King, the Lord of Longyuan, today I enthrone you as the Great Knight of Longyuan!"

"The Lord of Fishman Island, the Lord of Mermaid Island!"
