Chapter 164: 150 Draws

As a member of the peace faction who believes that fish-men and merfolk should coexist peacefully with humans.

Neptune strongly agreed with Karl's statement. Humans have good and bad, and the Fish-Man race is the same.

He believed that most humans or fish-men held kindness toward each other, but it was a small handful of greedy humans and fish-man supremacists who destroyed this great situation.

Hody Jones was a vivid example.

After the cheers and applause stopped, Neptune took over from Karl.

"Fellow residents of Fish-Man Island, what Rear Admiral Karl just said is exactly what I wanted to say. Queen Otohime's efforts..."

While Neptune was giving his long-winded speech, Ain secretly said to Karl, "Where did you learn these words? You sounded quite professional!"

Karl looked around and, finding no one was paying attention to him, whispered, "Just some nonsense that sounds reasonable. Why, do you want to learn?"

"Forget it, with you here, would it ever be my turn to speak?"

Karl curled his lips; she was not ambitious at all.

After a while, Neptune finally reached the main point.

"Next, I will announce two major events."

"First, from today on, no residents will be allowed to enter the Fish-Man District, and the Neptune Army will completely seal off the area."

"In addition, Long Gong City will fund the establishment of an orphanage to take in orphans..."

"Second, I believe everyone has heard of Princess Shirahoshi's strange illness. However, with the help of Rear Admiral Karl and Miss Ain, Princess Shirahoshi's strange illness has been cured."

"Therefore, I am preparing to find a husband for Shirahoshi in advance, to be married when Shirahoshi comes of age. The requirements are as follows..."

Neptune felt very awkward while saying this, but it was meant for fishing after all. However, the men of Fish-Man Island didn't care about that; they were instantly boiling over.

"What! There's such a good thing? If I become the son-in-law of the Dragon Palace, wouldn't that save me a dozen years of detours!"

"I want to participate! Hahahaha!"

Seeing the excited crowd, Neptune glanced at Karl. Karl nodded slightly; the goal had been achieved, and it was time to withdraw.

One day later.

"What! Neptune is actually looking for a son-in-law so early! Damn it! Shirahoshi is mine!!!"

Fan De Dai Ken was furious after hearing the news from his underling. In his eyes, Shirahoshi was his exclusive property, his destined wife. He would never allow any male fish-man other than himself to spend a lifetime with Shirahoshi.

Thinking this, he couldn't wait to go to Fish-Man Island immediately and snatch Shirahoshi back to be his child bride, but the Navy was still on the island, and he didn't have the guts.

"Damn Navy! What if they keep hanging around and won't leave..."

Fan De Dai Ken grew more anxious the more he thought about it, wondering if he should just rush to Fish-Man Island and have a fight with the Navy.

"Boss, the Navy has left!"

Fan De Dai Ken was stunned, then said with pleasant surprise, "What did you say? The Navy left? Is the news reliable?"

The underling nodded: "Of course, after the public execution of Hody Jones ended, the Navy warships sailed away from Fish-Man Island. They are probably already ashore by now."

Fan De Dai Ken stood up with a start and said spiritedly, "Depart immediately! Land on Fish-Man Island; we must not let Shirahoshi be tainted by others!"

When the Navy is here, I am submissive; when the Navy leaves, I strike with heavy fists.

As for the Neptune Army, sorry, in Fan De Dai Ken's eyes, they were just a bunch of rice buckets. The only one to watch out for was Jinbe, but he just needed to send a few underlings to lure him away.

At the same time, Long Gong City, Shirahoshi Palace—Shirahoshi's original residence.

"Sister Ain, come find me! You definitely can't guess where I'm hiding!"

Ain feigned annoyance and said, "Oh my, Shirahoshi, where are you? Why can't I find you!"

In reality, Shirahoshi's big tail had long since exposed her position, yet she thought she was hiding quite well.

Karl snorted disdainfully, "Just a child!", and continued reading the newspaper.

There was no help for it; to make it look realistic, even he couldn't show his face on Fish-Man Island at will. Sigh~ He had wanted to hang out at the Mermaid Cafe; he had just gotten his membership card!

Ain was having quite a good time. She didn't know why, but she really liked this innocent and lively little princess, and even playing some very childish games with her made her tireless.

Now Shirahoshi liked Ain the most; Megalo was almost losing favor and could only serve as Karl's backrest.

As for Karl, although Shirahoshi always wanted to play with him, she was rejected every time. She felt Karl was just like her older brothers.

Although he liked her, he... didn't want to play with her.

"Ding~ Accumulated slacking time has reached 8 hours, daily task completed."

"Reward: Designated Attribute Enhancement *7, Random Reward (storable) *4."

Karl's eyes lit up. Adding the random rewards he had saved up before, he now had a total of 150 rewards to open, which meant 150 draws!

With a 7% probability of getting a rare reward, 150 draws, he had to get something good! He had been holding back for a long time!

"System, open all random... wait."

Drawing directly like this didn't seem to have any sense of ritual. It would be best to wash his face, maybe use some facial cleanser. Hancock wasn't here, so he couldn't do that.

Thus, Karl set his sights on Shirahoshi. She was a Sea King after all; she should have some luck!

He would just rub off some of it.

"Heehee, Sister Ain, I'm here!"

Shirahoshi suddenly popped out from behind the sofa, "scaring" Ain, and then Shirahoshi looked at Ain with anticipation.

"Mm, Shirahoshi, you're great!"

Shirahoshi scratched her head shyly, revealing a silly, sweet smile.

Karl thought about it and decided against it. Luck doesn't change fate, and paying doesn't change destiny.

"System, open all random rewards!"

"Extracting! Please wait, tallying rewards!"

"Extraction successful. Congratulations to the host for obtaining Rare Reward *10, as follows."

"Designated Attribute Enhancement Card (Special Grade) *2, Haki Enhancement Card (Advanced) *5, Observation Haki: Weakness Perception, Special Skill Upgrade Card *2,"

"Common rewards are as follows: Designated Attribute Enhancement Card *21, 500 million Berries *39, Lifespan 694 days (30 times total), Fat Otaku Happy Water, Happy Potato Chips... 50 items in total."

【Observation Haki: Weakness Perception】: One of the advanced techniques of Observation Haki. After activating Observation Haki, one can perceive the biological weaknesses of others. Can be used when Observation Haki reaches LV6.

Special Skill Upgrade Card: Can upgrade all special skills the host has already obtained. The usage limit for a single skill is 1.

Karl widened his eyes. This, this was too lucky!

Just the Weakness Perception and the Special Skill Upgrade Card were worth him holding back for so long.

After a long sigh of relief, Karl recited in his heart.

Use all enhancement cards to strengthen physique, use all Haki enhancement cards to strengthen Observation Haki! ===== CHAPTER 166 =====
