Two days later.
Fishman Island.
The coated warship docked outside the city gate. As soon as Vivian got off the boat, he saw a large number of local civilians gathered near the road at the city gate, looking at them curiously.
Looking around, it was a sea of black, with at least tens of thousands of people.
Airi felt a little shy being stared at, and hid behind Vivian, while Vivian turned to look at Jinbei and asked, "What's going on?"
"Oh, on the one hand, I heard that Princess Shirahoshi had returned, so I came to greet her. On the other hand... of course, I wanted to see what General Thunder really looked like."
On his way back, Jinbe had already spoken to King Neptune through Den Den Mushi, so he was ready early in the morning and had the entire nation come out to welcome him.
Look, not only the people, but even King Neptune himself, with his three sons, stood in the middle of the road, followed by a large number of guards, with their hands placed under their abdomen, waiting solemnly for the arrival of Vivian and others.
"Thunder General!"
"Welcome General Thunder to Fishman Island."
The Second Prince Emperor Star cheered enthusiastically.
After the three brothers learned that Vivian deliberately rescued Princess Shirahoshi under the guise of interrogation, their hearts were already filled with gratitude. Now that Vivian personally escorted Shirahoshi back, their gratitude and respect reached its peak.
So much so that the moment they saw Shirahoshi appear behind Vivian unharmed, the three brothers subconsciously couldn't hold back their tears and started crying loudly without any warning.
“Wuwuwu…”
"Thank you so much, General Thunder..."
"I thought I would never see Shirahoshi again in my lifetime..."
“Wuwuwuwuwuwu…”
On that day on Marijoa, they were even ready to sacrifice themselves at any time and to flee with Princess Shirahoshi. Who would have thought that a savior like Vivian would suddenly appear and prevent the crisis of their Fishman Island being destroyed.
Therefore, this is not only a favor to their royal family, but also to the entire mermaid and merman clan, which all of them should remember in their hearts.
"Forehead.."
Vivian scratched her face in embarrassment, wondering if this was really a fishman tribe? They were a little too enthusiastic, and their attitude was totally different from that of Grayger whom she had met before.
And speaking of Greg...
Turning his head and glancing at the young blue fishman who was still being suppressed by Fujitora with one hand, Vivian pointed at the guy, then looked at Neptune and said, "King Neptune, this guy seems to be born in your Fishman Island. Two days ago, he planned to hijack a ship at sea and take Princess Shirahoshi away. Now he has been temporarily captured by us. His name is Grayger. Do you know him?"
"Grayger?"
King Neptune was stunned when he heard the name, and some memories of Mohu from more than ten years ago began to emerge in his mind.
After a while, until he finished listening to Vivian and Jinbei's narration on the road, he sighed and recalled: "During that time, I also sent people out to look for the missing ships, but you know, in today's world, whether it is a shipwreck or an attack by pirates, it is the most normal thing, so after searching for several months without success, we gave up. Who would have thought that they were all taken away by the World Government to do experiments..."
More than a hundred fish-men were devastated, but now only a few are left. When Neptune thought about having to deal with the World Government in the future, he couldn't help but start to worry again.
"First, lock Grayger up in the room where Shirahoshi used to live..."
"Yes, King Neptune!"
"General Vivian, please let my three sons take you to visit Ryugu Castle. I have something I want to discuss with Shirahoshi. What do you think?"
"No problem." Vivian nodded with a smile, "Princess Shirahoshi must be tired after sitting on the ship for a few days. It's time to take a rest."
"Meet me in the hall at dinner then."
...
You have completed the current task
Searching for rewards..
Congratulations, you have obtained: Clow Cards - Small Card
Item name: Little card (THE.LITTLE)
From the plane: "Cardcaptor Sakura"
Note: This magic can shrink people or objects. It can act on up to three targets at the same time. Once it acts on the fourth target, the first target will immediately return to its original shape.
"Is this done?"
Seeing the prompt pop up in her mind, Vivian tilted her head and muttered softly.
Along the way, except for the battle with Grayger, Vivian really didn't encounter any obstacles afterwards. Now he directly received the reward given by the system. It was so simple that it even made him feel a little incredible.
Maybe it’s because my strength has become stronger
You know, Grayger was able to suppress Jinbei simply by relying on his modified physical fitness. If it were him two years ago, it would probably have been an extremely difficult and fierce battle.
Furthermore..
This "little card" didn't seem to have much effect on him.
I was thinking about it, and just as I curled my lips, I saw the Flip Star who was leading the way suddenly turned his head and said, "General Lei Ting, regarding this world conference, the government wants to increase the collection of Tianshang Gold..."
"Ah, sorry, I heard that too, but as a marine, there's nothing I can do to help you with this," Vivian said.
He had also heard about the Celestial Dragons' plan to increase taxes, but that seemed to be just a suggestion made by a few playboys. It would not be so easy for the Five Elders to pass this proposal. After all, those guys were not fools. The power of the Revolutionary Army was growing stronger day by day. If taxes were raised at this juncture, many people would probably be discouraged and choose to defect to the Revolutionary Army.
"Is that so... What about Princess Shirahoshi's suspicion?"
"I have already reported to my superiors that it was just a misunderstanding. With my current status as an admiral, it is very easy for them to not pursue Shirahoshi."
"Thanks."
The Rollover Star bowed sincerely to Vivian.
There are indeed still good people in the navy.
How great would it be if this man named Vivian could become the leader of the World Government and replace the Celestial Dragons
The three princes couldn't help but think so in their hearts.
"We're here." Shark Star stopped in a corridor and pointed to the room in front. "The facilities here are very complete, and there is also a private bathroom. You can stay here for a few more days. Let us entertain you to our heart's content as a token of our gratitude."
"You're welcome."
Vivian waved her hand and said with a smile, "We can only stay here for three days at most and then we have to leave. We have already been out for a week. If we don't make some achievements, we will be criticized by our leaders."
"Okay then. General Thunder, you should have a good rest first. I'll have someone come to call you for dinner." After that, the three people took Vivian on a tour of the palace and then withdrew.
At the same time, on the other side.
"What?!"
"You said Neptune wanted to marry Shirahoshi to Vivian?"
In the room, Domino, after hearing Jinbei's words, stood up from the sofa and asked loudly with an angry face.
