Ocean Lords: Start as a Fisherman

"Ah…"

A soft laugh echoed from inside the main hall.

However, it was this soft laugh that made all the ministers in the hall tense up.

Su Wang looked at the girl on the throne and said calmly.

"You only have one chance to answer your question about the reason."

The girl named Elsa turned pale as she faced the oppressive aura emanating from Su Wang.

However, she defied this momentum, staring directly at Su Wang, and spoke each word clearly.

"If you help me, I can cooperate with anything you propose."

"If you don't help me, I'd rather die."

The person, who had always been like a puppet, suddenly felt human.

However, as soon as Elsa uttered these two sentences, some powerful ministers in the hall could no longer contain themselves.

The powerful minister who had spoken earlier took a half-step forward, eager to speak.

"Your Majesty, your request..."

However, before he could finish speaking, Su Wang glanced at him and said coldly.

"I don't think I'm talking to you."

In less than two minutes, Su Wang had already figured out the trick.

This girl who inherited the name of the Pisces King must be a puppet put to power by these powerful ministers.

Originally, Su Wang had no interest in who would succeed him as the Pisces King, nor did he care.

As long as the other party isn't as tactless as the previous one, it'll be fine.

But what the newly appointed Pisces King just said piqued Su Wang's interest.

After silencing the powerful minister who was about to speak, Su Wang turned his head back to look at the girl on the throne.

"Cooperate with everything I propose?"

Do you think you have the ability to refuse me?

The girl did not answer, but stood up from the throne.

She walked down the steps one by one until she stood in front of Su Wang, bringing their eyes level.

Su Wang watched the girl walk up to him quietly, without making any reaction, but a hint of amusement flashed in his eyes.

He had tried the view of the palace from the throne.

The girl's stepping down from the throne was likely a gesture to him.

The girl then looked away from Su Wang and glanced around the hall.

Many powerful officials in the hall felt the young girl's gaze upon them, and their expressions immediately turned quite unpleasant.

Some people even cast threatening glances in a veiled manner.

With his powerful perception, none of these subtle movements escaped Su Wang's notice.

Only after the girl withdrew her gaze from the surroundings and focused it back on Su Wang did she speak.

“I, Elsa, swear to the world that I will grant you any request, as long as you agree to help me cleanse the capital.”

"Only members of the Silverfin royal family can take over the Pisces Wharf. If you want to send orders to all the alliance wharves, only the person who takes over the Pisces Wharf can do it."

The girl was trying to set conditions for Su Wang.

Su Wang wasn't too surprised to hear this condition.

It could even be said that it was the result of his indulgence.

However, this did allow Su Wang to glean some information from the girl.

That is, the Pisces Wharf originally required a specific bloodline to inherit.

No wonder the girl who has reclaimed the title of Pisces Queen has the same hair and eye color as the previous Pisces Queen.

Su Wang smiled knowingly.

"You want me to help you reclaim the rights that were taken from you?"

The girl nodded.

Su Wang continued.

"Do you know that the Cleansing World Alliance I founded is continuously annexing the docks within the Pisces Alliance?"

"You were able to sit in this position not only because of your bloodline, but also because these people knew that this position wouldn't last long."

The two spoke frankly, completely disregarding the others in the hall.

Many powerful officials looked grim, but under the oppressive pressure of the terrifying aura, they didn't even have the right to interrupt.

The only one who can speak at the moment is Elsa, who is standing in front of Su Wang.

Upon hearing what Su Wang said, Elsa nodded without changing her expression.

"I know."

Su Wang raised his eyebrows when he heard this.

"If that's the case, don't you think there's no point in doing this?"

But Elsa shook her head.

No, because I understand what you need.

Su Wang asked back.

"Then tell me what I want?"

Su Wang was somewhat curious about how the new queen would respond.

Elsa responded calmly.

"What you need is not power; establishing a coalition to rule the docks is merely a means to control pollution."

"I can fully cooperate with all your needs, as long as you agree to keep the Pisces Alliance, which will save you the little time you have left."

The previous Pisces King was Elsa's grandfather, and the person in front of him was undoubtedly his blood enemy.

But there was no trace of hatred in Elsa's eyes or tone of voice.

Because she understood that the other party was no longer someone she could contend with, and thinking about revenge was undoubtedly wishful thinking.

They even bypassed her father and made her the new Pisces Queen.

It was all because these powerful ministers thought she seemed easier to control and more suitable to be this temporary puppet.

The current Silverfin royal family can't even stand up against these powerful ministers, let alone take revenge on this mysterious King of the Cleansing Alliance.

Upon hearing the girl's reply, a hint of appreciation flashed in Su Wang's eyes.

Compared to the previous Pisces King, this new queen is much smarter and more able to see things clearly.

The news that the world would not be able to hold on after two rainy seasons was known not only to Su Wang, but also to the previous Pisces King.

However, this former king, greedy for power, frequently created obstacles for him and imposed various restrictions, failing to fully support his fight against pollution.

This is what caused Su Wang's displeasure, leading to the current situation.

What is the most crucial aspect of negotiating terms?
It's about understanding the other party's needs!
The conditions mentioned by the girl undoubtedly hit Su Wang's needs.

time!

What Su Wang lacks most right now is time.

The Pisces Alliance has been able to rule for so long that the number of local ports under its control is difficult to estimate.

The Pure World Alliance has only been established for a short time, and it would take far too long for it to swallow up the entire Pisces Alliance.

It might not even be possible before the second rainy season arrives.

However, since gathering some local docks was already enough to supply the needs of the front lines, Su Wang was not in a great hurry.

The current prominence of the importance of faith fuel has brought about a change in this situation.

This is also the purpose of Su Wang's visit.

The reason Su Wang allowed the girl to make demands was that he wanted to see if things could be made simpler.

Due to the sudden death of the Pisces King, it seems that the power of Pisces Wharf has been divided up by a number of powerful ministers.

Although the actual ownership of the dock is still in the girl's hands, that's all that remains of her ownership.

Su Wang needs a puppet that can cooperate with him, but if the puppet's limbs don't obey his commands, then it's not satisfactory.

Moreover, the puppet candidate is quite sensible, which makes him even more in line with Su Wang's wishes.

Su Wang did not respond for a moment, while the faces of the many powerful ministers in the hall turned pale.

Because they knew that as soon as His Majesty Su agreed, their good days would be over.

Although Elsa's face remained calm, her unconsciously clenched fists revealed that her inner state was not as calm as her outward appearance suggested.

Su Wang stared at the girl for half a minute, and when he saw that she met his gaze without flinching, he smiled.

"Okay, I like smart people." "I accept your conditions."

Helping Elsa regain her rights was a piece of cake in Su Wang's eyes.

Moreover, Elsa's attitude from beginning to end has been very clear: submission.

If she had been sitting on the throne and talking to him just now, Su Wang might not have agreed so readily.

The moment she stepped down from the throne, Su Wang knew that this queen was a smart woman, smart enough to be admired.

Su Wang's answer caused many powerful ministers in the hall to turn pale. These people were undoubtedly those who seized power by taking advantage of the Pisces King's death.

A few people even showed signs of resentment, having been too slow to seize power and narrowly escaped disaster.

After agreeing to Elsa's request,

Su Wang turned around and glanced at the various expressions on the faces of the people in the hall, then smiled and spoke.

“I admire this new queen, and the Clean World Alliance is willing to establish a subordinate relationship with her and provide her with protection.”

"I presume you are all loyal ministers who assist the Queen, and you should understand what I mean."

At the same time, Su Wang also released his suppression over everyone in the main hall.

The moment their imposing aura subsided, several powerful officials went limp and nearly collapsed.

And the one closest to Su Wang was one of them.

Fortunately, as an extraordinary ship captain, he quickly regained control of his body and immediately stepped forward to speak.

"Your Majesty Elsa, I have considered this for a long time."

"I believe my good-for-nothing son needs more experience, so I request Your Majesty to re-select a candidate for the position of commander of the 8th Fleet."

After saying that, she gave Su Wang a slightly ingratiating smile, and then continued to speak to Elsa.

"Your Majesty Elsa, the Pisces Alliance has made the wisest choice to accept His Majesty Su's protection."

With the first person taking the lead, the others immediately followed suit.

“Your Majesty Elsa, I think you should appoint someone else for the position of Vice President of the Merchant Alliance. My nephew can be a steward.”

"Your Majesty Elsa, the captain of the 4th Fleet..."

...

For a moment, the main hall became a meeting for resignation applications.

One powerful minister after another requested that Elsa dismiss many important officials.

Elsa stared blankly at these powerful ministers.

Just a few days ago, these people hardly took her seriously, but in front of this "Your Majesty Su," they became as obedient as servants.

A hint of sneer rose in her heart.

Looking at the back of the person in front of him, he understood something even more clearly.

Is this why you don't value rights?

...

Several hours later, Su Wang had already left the capital of Pisces.

The return of royal power was already a fait accompli when he spoke of it.

Even if he leaves, nothing unexpected will happen.

Because he has already said that he admires the new queen and is willing to protect her.

After Su Wang made his stance clear...
I believe these powerful ministers would not dare to disobey, unless someone is confident enough to oppose him.

Queen Elsa kept her promise.

In front of Su Wang, the entire royal family swore an oath to the world that the Pisces Alliance would obey and cooperate with all of Su Wang's arrangements.

This means that even if she is no longer the current Pisces Queen, the next person to inherit the title of Pisces Queen will also fulfill this vow.

However, the oath was only made to target Su Wang, and the Cleansing Alliance was not mentioned.

This means that as long as Su Wang exists in this world, the Pisces Alliance will be willing to submit and cooperate.

Another meaning is that if he is no longer here, then the vow will be invalid.

Su Wang noticed this, but didn't pay it any mind.

As the supreme being who controls the world, he has reached the point where his faith is as enduring as his own.

This vow is practically the same as eternity.

Unless we fail to save the world, then this oath will also become unnecessary.

At Su Wang's request, Elsa used her authority as the leader of the Pisces Alliance to send a notification message to all docks within the alliance.

The content is that the Pisces Alliance and the Purification Alliance form a subordinate alliance, with the Purification Alliance as the main alliance.

Lord Su, the leader of the Purification Alliance, will pilot a warship sailing through the skies to various docks to begin a purification voyage, demanding the unconditional cooperation of all alliance lords.

On the other hand, the Pure World Business Alliance will take over the Pisces Business Alliance of the Pisces Alliance.

The entire Pisces Alliance will allocate all available resources unconditionally to the Purification Alliance to combat frontline pollution.

At this point, although the Pisces Alliance still existed, it was practically as if it had been taken over by Su Wang.

The entire safe sea area has been fully integrated and is now dedicated to combating pollution.

Su Wang then launched a plan to spread his faith.

First, they found Cao Ge and Di Anxuan and obtained a large number of Temple Cores produced by the two.

They then used the coordinates of the Alliance docks provided by Elsa to quickly locate the local docks.

Possessing supreme authority
Su Wang could easily travel to hundreds of docks in a single day to carry out the combined purification and temple construction initiatives.

Having received advance orders from the Pisces King, the appearance of the Heart of Death would not arouse the vigilance of the local dock lords.

The speed at which the faith is being spread is several times faster than the previous slow expansion of the Purification Alliance.

Furthermore, the Twin Fish Wharf contains numerous buildings with purification springs, all of which Su Wang upgraded to the extraordinary level using the Holy Stele.

Pisces Pier boasts a population of over ten million.
Su Wang planned to purify the entire vast Twin Fish Wharf after the source water had accumulated for a period of time.

The goal is to completely resolve the issue of the supply of fuel for faith within two months.

...

The rainy season has passed in the blink of an eye.
Light returned, and the world returned to normal.

The only difference is that after this rainy season, the appearance of the Red Night has been earlier than usual.

The red night, which used to appear at midnight every night, is now appearing before 8 pm.

The dispersal time was extended to 10 a.m.

Although the change in the length of the Red Night had little impact, it still served as a warning to Su Wang.

That means the "fish" is already preparing for a final gamble, and time is running out.

Taking advantage of the last month of the rainy season,

Su Wang purified nearly 10,000 local docks, accumulating a terrifying number of believers, close to two billion.

The amount of faith fuel generated daily is in the trillions.

Di Anxuan and Cao Ge need to undergo a second conversion of faith based on Su Wang's existing faith.

Therefore, the number of believers is far less than that of Su Wang, but at present, they still harvest nearly 100 billion points of faith fuel every day.

As early as the end of the rainy season, the two had already devoted themselves to the task of eradicating the higher-dimensional pollution.

Su Wang devoted all his time to the task of increasing the number of believers, and the number of times he tried to eradicate and pollute higher-dimensional beings was less than that of the two of them.

However, thanks to their combined efforts...
The high-dimensional pollution sources that have been eliminated during this period have accumulated to 0.976%, which is not far from 1%, and the effect is quite significant.

Based on the distance between Fool's Wharf and the polluted sea area, Su Wang judged that it was thousands of nautical miles farther than before.

It is evident that the area affected by the pollution has indeed shrunk significantly.

Another ten days or so passed, and there were less than three months left before the second rainy season arrived.

Su Wang also ended his mission of personally spreading the faith.

The number of local docks is too large; Su Wang alone has already done his best to purify more than 20,000 of them.

However, this is less than one-tenth of the number of docks counted by the Pisces Alliance.

The remaining docks that were not visited
Su Wang could only provide enough Temple Cores for Elsa to send a fleet to transport them over.

With a massive base of believers, Su Wang could squander his faith fuel at will; it was time to switch his focus and participate in eradicating the source of higher-dimensional pollution.

There are less than 3 months left.

This is equivalent to achieving at least 1% pollution control every day, which means eliminating 1 high-dimensional pollution entities.

Currently, Cao Ge and Di Anxuan can only share a maximum of less than 200 vehicles per day.

The remaining 800 or so bodies all need to be dealt with by Su Wang, making the task extremely difficult.
