I personally am very much in favor of it.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"However, the situation on Fish-Man Island is quite complicated right now.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Karl smiled slightly: \"Are you referring to the Big Mom Pirates? No need to worry about that. You only need to know that the Big Mom Pirates are not a big problem.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"The most important thing is whether you, as the King, are willing to let the Marines station on Fish-Man Island to achieve long-term peace and stability for Fish-Man Island.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>What are the benefits of the Marines stationing on Fish-Man Island for the fish-men?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The most direct one is deterring pirates and traffickers, protecting the safety of the residents.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In the past, Neptune didn't know how many times he had discussed the suggestion of letting the Marines station on Fish-Man Island, but all of them were brushed off by Sengoku.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>One reason was that the racial conflict was too deep, and the later fish-man adventurer Fisher Tiger added fuel to the racial hatred. Sengoku couldn't possibly send Marine soldiers to a place full of conflict.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Another reason was that once the Marines stationed on Fish-Man Island, if any major incident occurred on the island, the Marines wouldn't be able to provide support in a short time, and they would even have to coat their ships in advance to enter the water.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In summary, it could be built, but it wasn't necessary.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But now, it's different. Because Karl and Ain had cleared up the misunderstandings the residents of Fish-Man Island had about humans early on, the perception of humans on Fish-Man Island had improved quite a bit. If it weren't for those damn pirates and traffickers...\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Maybe they would have been getting along well with each other long ago.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Hearing this, Neptune was shocked. What did \"don't need to worry about the Big Mom Pirates\" mean? No matter what, Big Mom was one of the Four Emperors! Could the Marines' power have grown to such an extent?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It was also thanks to the Marines being relatively low-key over these two years; otherwise, Neptune wouldn't have had such thoughts.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The current Marines were invincible, and the reason they were invincible was that T-Bone had eaten the Float-Float Fruit, which made it possible for the Marines to launch blitzkriegs.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>For Big Mom and Kaido, who had fixed territories, it was simply a nightmare, but they didn't know it yet.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Once they made their appearance, they would definitely give the world a surprise.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Karl-sama, are you saying...\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Karl waved his hand, signaling Neptune not to ask more, and instead took a Den Den Mushi out of his pocket and handed it to Neptune.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"It can contact Fleet Admiral Admiral Admiral Admiral Admiral Admiral Kuzan. If King Neptune has considered it, you can dial this number at any time to contact Fleet Admiral Admiral Admiral Admiral Admiral Admiral Kuzan and discuss the details of the Marine stationing.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Of course, if King Neptune feels that this matter is unreliable, you can also call Fleet Admiral Admiral Admiral Admiral Admiral Admiral Kuzan to notify him, so as not to waste everyone's mood. I wonder what King Neptune thinks?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Neptune took the Den Den Mushi Karl tossed over, looked at it, took a deep breath, and said with a conflicted expression: \"This matter is too rushed. I want to consider it further. At the very least, I must seek the opinions of the citizens!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"That's true, it's indeed not good not to tell the citizens about such a big matter.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Report! King Neptune, a pirate crew has arrived on Fish-Man Island and is wandering around Coral Hill, but they haven't done anything out of line. Should we notify Jinbe-sama?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Neptune frowned: \"Pirates, how many of them are there?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"It seems there are eight people, and a furry creature, it seems to be their pet.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Karl asked: \"Is there a guy wearing a straw hat and red clothes among them?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Yes, that's right.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Karl nodded: \"I know, they are the Straw Hat Pirates.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Hearing this familiar name, Neptune was shocked. If he remembered correctly, the one who saved Jinbe from Impel Down two years ago was this Straw Hat pirate crew, right? No, it was that Straw Hat Luffy.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In that case, this pirate crew knew Jinbe, so if that's the case...\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Karl-sama, let us handle this matter. You've finally come to Fish-Man Island, how could we trouble you to take action.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Karl naturally understood the meaning of this sentence and went along with it: \"Hahaha, then I'll leave it to you! Uh, by the way, King Neptune, I'll go walk around the surroundings of Fish-Man Island first. Can I let Shirahoshi go with me?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"She said she really wants to go out for some fresh air. With me leading, you should be able to rest assured, right?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Neptune wanted to refuse, but thinking that this was the Marine Hero, what could happen to Shirahoshi if she followed him? It was also a good opportunity to get Karl out of the way so Jinbe could find the pirate crew he had been waiting for.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"No problem. Shirahoshi, then you go out and walk around with Karl-sama obediently, and don't run around!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Shirahoshi showed a look of surprise and nodded Move Move Like a chicken pecking at rice: \"Mmhmm, Father, don't worry, Shirahoshi promises to listen to Karl-sama and absolutely won't run around!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Seeing Shirahoshi Move Move Like this, Neptune shook his head helplessly. If it weren't for Karl, he would never let Shirahoshi run around.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Uh, Karl-sama, let me tell you one thing, don't take Shirahoshi to crowded places, otherwise, it will cause a riot.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Karl looked at Shirahoshi's young and innocent angelic face and nodded in agreement. That would indeed cause a riot.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Plus himself... *tsk-tsk-tsk*, that really couldn't go to crowded places.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Karl-sama, let's go quickly! Where are we going first?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Karl noticed out of the corner of his eye that Neptune was eavesdropping, and the corners of his mouth rose slightly: \"How about we go to Mermaid Cove and take a look?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Yay!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Soon, Karl was grabbed by the excited Shirahoshi, and they left Ryugu Palace.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Shirahoshi, you seem very excited. Have you never left Ryugu Palace before?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Shirahoshi shook her head: \"Of course I've been out, but the number of times I've been out is very few, and every time I go out, it causes chaos. Gradually, Father stopped letting me out, so I could only play in Ryugu Palace.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Hearing Shirahoshi's whisper, Karl felt moved. Beauty is an original sin; unless you possess powerful strength to guard this beauty, it will be ruthlessly trampled by others.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Then do you want to go see the world outside Fish-Man Island?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Shirahoshi's eyes lit up, but soon she shook her head: \"Hmm, although Shirahoshi really wants to go, if I go outside, Father will definitely be very unhappy.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Shirahoshi, do you believe me?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Of course, Karl-sama, I certainly believe you. If it weren't for you and Ain-nee, I would probably still be living in the Hard-Shell Tower!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Karl grinned: \"That's good. Since you believe me, do you dare to go to the world outside Fish-Man Island with me?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Shirahoshi looked at Karl hesitantly, then nodded forcefully: \"Shirahoshi dares! As long as Karl-sama is there, Shirahoshi isn't afraid!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"But, there is no air outside Fish-Man Island, how can Karl-sama...\"\u003C\u002Fp>",1249,"2026-06-16T20:20:52.563Z","2026-06-16T20:55:41.535Z",1,"Gemini 3.1 Flash Lite","305d46c6bc2a679bffb27c5afe5d90c56797abd40bf884373f9a1b78798099bd","one-piece-i-grow-stronger-by-slacking-off-as-a-n-chapter-304","one-piece-i-grow-stronger-by-slacking-off-as-a-n-chapter-302",397,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fone-piece-i-grow-stronger-by-slacking-off-as-a-n-cover.jpg"]
