Starting with One Piece, a Multiverse Simulation

This caused Queen Otohime, who had been full of passion, to instantly wilt like a frostbitten eggplant.

"While the princess's idea is good, it is completely impossible to make a request through the World Conference."

Whether fish-men can live on land has absolutely nothing to do with ordinary humans; truth lies in the hands of the strong.

"The World Government is still the one that has the power to speak and make decisions, and the Celestial Dragons, who are the masters of the World Government, still treat the Merfolk and Fish-Men as tools for their amusement."

Do Queen Otohime think they will agree to coexist peacefully with the fish-men and mermaids?

Even assuming your proposal is approved by the World Government, what will become of Queen Otohime when those hopeful fish-men arrive on land only to be captured and enslaved by humans?

Just as Wood finished speaking, Tiger nodded and said, "Moreover, the hatred between humans and fishmen is deeply rooted."

This is true even for my own 'Sun Pirates'.

To erase hatred, we can only hope for the younger generation. Those humans and fish-people who have suffered so much at each other's hands cannot completely forget hatred simply through a few speeches.

Hearing Wood and Tiger's words, Princess Otohime sat down dejectedly. She had thought her method was good, but she didn't expect it to have so many drawbacks.

"Actually, there are other ways to get humans to fully accept fish-people."

The world is currently ruled by the World Government, and since they are unfriendly to the fish-people, all that's needed is to replace them with a leader who is friendly to them.

"Brother Wood, are you talking about the Revolutionary Army? If so, would they accept the Fish-Men?"

Tiger had heard Wood mention the Revolutionary Army before, so he had some recollection of it.

"At least as far as we know, they are the only ones who dare to directly challenge the World Government, and there are other fish-men in the Revolutionary Army as well."

But in that respect, it would be impossible for the Navy and the World Government to have this.

The Fish-Men assisted the Revolutionary Army in overthrowing the World Government, and in return, the Revolutionary Army helped the Fish-Men fulfill their desires. It's a perfectly reasonable deal, isn't it?

Now is the time for the Revolutionary Army to continue growing stronger, so I don't think its leader, Dragon, would refuse such a deal.

"Tiger will assist the Revolutionary Army in overthrowing the World Government, while Queen Otohime can open an academy to teach children knowledge."

Furthermore, students should not be limited to either fish-man children or human children, but should be allowed to learn together as classmates.

Children are different from adults. They gradually understand, through spending time together, that the so-called fish-people (humans) are not as scary as adults say.

If a two-pronged approach is taken, many years later, after the World Government is overthrown, the Fish-Men and Merfolk will not only be able to obtain the promised land from the Revolutionary Army.

Those fish-people and human children who grew up together will also become your successors, spreading the belief that humans and fish-people can coexist harmoniously.

Despite the fact that Wood's ideas were still immature in many ways, after hearing Wood say these words, Queen Otohime excitedly grabbed Wood's hand and repeatedly expressed her gratitude.

Both Queen Otohime and Tiger felt that Wood's plan was highly feasible, at least more reliable than Queen Otohime's previous one.

"Finding a human child willing to learn alongside the fish-man child might not be easy at first."

I suggest you try visiting a place called Flying Bird Island in the West Sea.

The island is mostly populated by women and children now. If you go, you can mention my name; I think it might have some effect.

The able-bodied men of Asuka Island were all killed by the One-Eyed Pirates. Now, the island is mostly inhabited by women, children, and the elderly, and their lives must be quite difficult.

If Queen Otohime could bring enough supplies to recruit students there, and also bring her pirate crew's flag as proof, the chances of successfully recruiting students would be very high.

After enjoying several days of VIP treatment on Mermaid Island, Wood and his group finally left and prepared to head to the New World.

Before heading to the New World, Wood specifically reminded Queen Otohime that even if she intended to raise human and fish-man children to live in harmony according to his plan, she should be wary of other schemes.

If Wood remembers correctly, Queen Otohime will die in an assassination attempt by the fish-men some time from now.

For everyone on Mermaid Island, even more than a decade later, no one knew who the murderer was after Queen Otohime's death.

However, Wood, as a time traveler, knew quite clearly.

Hody Jones, a great white shark-man from Fishman Street, is an extreme fishman supremacist who once worshipped the fishman Arlong, but now seems to be just a fishman lackey.

Not all fish-men want to live in harmony with humans. In the original story, after Tiger's death, Queen Otohime was also assassinated, which further intensified the conflict between fish-men and humans.

Thanks to Wood's intervention, Tiger is still alive. As for Queen Otohime, Wood has also reminded Tiger to keep an eye on that guy named Hody Jones. Most likely, there won't be any more unexpected situations.

If Tiger and Queen Otohime are both alive, who knows, maybe more than ten years later, when Luffy and his crew set foot on Fish-Man Island again, they will find other changes.

Chapter 201 Wood: Who says pirates can't sell fish!

Of course, whether the fish-men will be able to coexist peacefully with humans more than a decade from now is something Wood doesn't know.

After all, even though he was a time traveler, he couldn't know the future that had already been altered.

He has said all he could say and done all he could. The fish-men helped him attack Enies Lobby, which indirectly saved Queen Otohime's life.

In the latter half of the Grand Line, on the route known as the New World, a medium-sized two-masted pirate ship is sailing on a calm sea.

"The royal family of Mermaid Island is so stingy! What happened to their gratitude? What's the use of sending us this junk if they don't give us anything practical?"

Because they had a very pleasant conversation with Wood, and because Wood had helped Mermaid Island a great deal, Ryugu Castle gave them a large number of farewell gifts when they left Mermaid Island.

Wood, who had long heard of the vast treasures of Dragon Palace, couldn't stop smiling when he heard that the other party was going to give him a gift.

However, when Queen Otohime ordered many soldiers from the Ryugu Palace to move their gifts of gratitude onto Wood's ship, Wood's smile froze on his face.

The wealthy and powerful Dragon Palace City's so-called thank-you gift wasn't the gold and silver treasures Wood had imagined, but rather a ship full of all kinds of seafood...

According to Queen Otohime, these are all specialties of their Mermaid Island, and many of them are dream ingredients that chefs would dream of.

Looking at the cabin crammed full of seafood, Wood wore a deadpan expression. This so-called local specialty was so different from what he had imagined.

This is Mermaid Island, and the person giving the gift is a member of the royal family living in the Dragon Palace. Shouldn't the so-called local specialties be something like fist-sized pearls?

Even if there's no treasure or anything, sending him two beautiful mermaids as maids would be fine, right? Sending him a boatload of seafood is just ridiculous.

So what if they have dream ingredients? They're not exactly great chefs.

The entire pirate crew, including Wood and Robin, were only good at cooking; their skills were so poor that they could only manage to cook the food properly.

As for Wood and Robin's cooking skills, who are the best two cooks on their ship, not to mention that the food Ruth and the others cooked was half-cooked, the main point is that he could hardly call it "food".

"Originally, I wanted to give you some treasure as a token of my gratitude."

But Tiger said, "You guys aren't ordinary pirates; you might not be interested in treasure or anything like that. So this is a gift I decided on after careful consideration."

Recalling the moment when Queen Otohime said those words with a smile, Wood felt an urge to kill Tiger on the spot.

So it turns out that the reason why such a meager gift from a princess was all Tiger's doing!

While listening to Queen Otohime's words, Wood, whose heart was bleeding, wanted to say that they were just ordinary low-class pirates who did not have the noble sentiment of regarding money as dirt.

Unfortunately, the image he had cultivated was too lofty, and when Wood said those words, Queen Otohime simply thought he was joking...

"Captain, which island are we heading to next?"

After entering the new world, the save pointer is different. The new save pointer can now select three islands as navigation targets after storing the magnetic force.

"We need to get rid of this seafood as soon as possible on the most popular and prosperous of these three islands, otherwise it will rot on the ship sooner or later!"

Queen Otohime sent a lot of local specialties, but seafood doesn't keep for long. If Wood and the others can't finish it, it will just go to waste and spoil.

"Is our goal for going to the next island just to sell seafood?"

But we're pirates, not fishermen..."

Ruth was stunned when he heard Wood's arrangements for the upcoming trip. He always felt that since he got on Wood's pirate ship, not only had his life not improved, but it had become worse and worse.

When he was in the Navy, he was a small figure, but he was still a Navy Lieutenant. However, since he followed Wood, he has become a pirate, and not only that, he has barely managed to make ends meet recently.

Now it's even more outrageous. This pirate crew actually has to go to populated islands to sell seafood in order to make a living.

"Who says pirates can't sell seafood? And if I don't sell seafood, will you support me?"

Queen Otohime said before, "Many of these seafood items are dream-grade ingredients. Keeping them would be a waste. What's wrong with exchanging them for Berries?"

If conditions allowed, Wood naturally wouldn't want to sell seafood, but unfortunately, if their pirate crew didn't find some income soon, they might not be able to continue sailing, and could even starve to death in the New World.

Wood and his group originally had tens of millions of Berries in assets, but all that money had been invested in Dark Pills.

The pirate ship was seized by Enies Lobby, and Behemoth on board knew with a grain of salt that Spaddam would never let it go.

No, it should be said that even if Spadam hadn't touched those Beli, those Beli, along with the Dark Maru, would have been sunk to the bottom of the sea under the World Government's bombardment.

Fortunately, Tom didn't charge Wood and his crew a penny when he helped them build the "Dark Pill II," otherwise, their once-powerful pirate crew wouldn't even have a ship to sail out to sea now.

Since leaving Mermaid Island, they've been eating seafood every day, and now the smell of fish is so strong that it hits you as soon as you open your mouth. Wood felt it was necessary to find an island as soon as possible to sell the seafood and then improve their diet.

It turns out that pirates can sell seafood, and despite Russ and his crew's initial resistance.

But when they actually arrived on the island and started selling seafood at the market, they were amazed by the unexpectedly large amount of bailey they had acquired, and they started enthusiastically promoting their wares.

Wood, a great swordsman, is now killing fish on the spot, while Robin, an archaeologist, is now a debt collector...

The seafood, a specialty of Mermaid Island, located 10,000 meters deep in the ocean, is more valuable than Wood and his crew imagined. Among them, the so-called "dream ingredients" sell for millions of Berries per kilogram!

The impressive income also pained Wood and his men, because they had squandered almost half of the seafood that Queen Otohime had sent.

Of course, the main reason was that they didn't know this thing could sell for such a high price. Otherwise, they wouldn't have wasted it even if it meant going hungry for a few more days, since it was all money!

The pirates were very successful in turning into fishermen. Half of their boatload of seafood was sold, and Wood and his crew even earned around 200 million Berries!

This means that they almost wasted 200 million Berries while on the ship...

And as it turns out, being a fishmonger was clearly a more promising career path for them than being pirates.

After all, their pirate crew had traveled all over the world searching for treasure, but in the end they only gained less than 100 million Berries.
