Chapter 477: Fulfillment
Without specific attention, news about the Farazul quickly disappeared on the Great Sea, replaced by other news.
It took a few days to arrive at the Former Half of the New World.
After the Coating Craftsman finished coating the entire Farazul, this large Pirate Ship quietly sank into the Sea, continuously sailing along the ocean current towards the Deep Sea.
The Farazul's departure was merely a minor matter and didn't cause much of a stir.
Even regarding Fish-Man Island, Hades didn't notify them in advance.
Nor did he need to notify them.
Coming to Fish-Man Island this time, he only needed to accomplish his objective; there was no need to personally negotiate with Ryugu Palace.
Obtaining Eve's branch, some tissues, was merely a matter of a single sentence for Hades.
He only needed to give an order to the Cadres of the Pluto Pirates.
More accurately, the reason he needed to act personally was for Fish-Man Shirley, the Diviner who could see the future.
To avoid any accidents, Hades decided it was safer to act personally.
After all, Shirley was only two years old at the moment.
Such a life was simply too fragile.
If, during the process of bringing her back, she were accidentally targeted by a certain Top Power, Hades would have nowhere to cry.
He couldn't afford not to be cautious.
After all, it concerned Pure Gold.
Although the Kronos Kingdom could extend lifespan to some extent, there were also the "Mermaid's Tears," the Dragon Bone that could be obtained in the future, and the Evolution Potion currently being researched.
However, compared to Pure Gold, these were nothing.
Although the "Mermaid's Tears" had the greatest role for Hades, carrying it not only extended lifespan but also didn't affect body growth.
And Pure Gold had a strategic role for the entire Kingdom.
When the Farazul arrived at Fish-Man Island, Ryugu Palace had already received the news.
The members of the Pluto Pirates stationed at Fish-Man Island had reminded them beforehand.
The guests from the Pluto Sea Area this time were mainly here to discuss further cooperation with Fish-Man Island.
This was a cover, and also something to be done along the way.
After the Kingdom's analysis and understanding of Fish-Man Island.
Fish-Man Island still had considerable potential to be tapped.
The increase in trade scale, and the segmentation and expansion of commercial trade, held significant meaning for Fish-Man Island.
Although the Pluto Pirate Crew was the dominant force in all of this, it was already enough for Fish-Man Island.
Immediately, they organized manpower, brought out a large amount of gourmet food, and held a banquet to entertain the members of the Pluto Pirate Crew who had arrived at Fish-Man Island.
At the same time, they discussed further cooperation matters with the members of the Pluto Pirate Crew.
Because of the arrival of the Farazul, the entire Fish-Man Island seemed to be welcoming the guests from the Pluto Pirate Crew, starting a carnival.
Facing all of this, Hades did not show himself, merely staying on the ship.
Currently, Fish-Man Island was within his control; he could "see" everything.
A branch over thirty meters long, belonging to Sun Tree Eve, appeared on the Farazul.
Regarding the Pluto Pirate Crew's request, Fish-Man Island did not refuse.
They immediately arranged for someone to take a "small" branch from Sun Tree Eve and deliver it to the Pluto Pirate Crew.
They had grown accustomed to submitting to the rule of the Pluto Pirate Crew, accustomed to obeying the commands of the Pluto Pirate Crew.
They even made appeasing the Pluto Pirate Crew Fish-Man Island's primary objective.
Moreover, although Sun Tree Eve was the sacred tree that brought light to Fish-Man Island, it was merely a branch and wouldn't harm Eve at all.
Knowing this, regarding the Pluto Pirate Crew's strange request, they naturally had no resistance.
And the young Mermaid Shirley was also brought before Hades.
Looking at Hades, young Shirley was a little reserved.
"Do you know me?"
Hades smiled, picked up Shirley, who was wearing a black cloak, and stroked her shark-like tail.
Shirley shook her head.
At only two years old, she was still very innocent.
This age was most suitable for modification; with a certain amount of time, she could be shaped into his own form, loyal to him.
At the age of three, when questioned by the Roger Pirates, she revealed the birth time of the future Mermaid Princess.
Logically, this should have been secret information.
"I heard you have the ability of divination. Help me see, where does the liquid inside this necklace come from?"
Hades asked softly.
Under his touch, little Shirley also relaxed.
Hades was quite experienced in comforting children.
Moreover, the Pluto Pirate Crew had taken her away from the chaos of Fish-Man District and arranged for people to take care of her.
She felt very favorably towards the Pluto Pirate Crew.
"Okay, wait a moment."
Shirley smiled and nodded, reaching out to place her hand on the crystal ball beside her, closing her eyes.
After a moment, Shirley opened her eyes.
"Sun Tree Eve."
Under Hades's expectant gaze, Shirley said clearly.
"Help me see again, where is a Super Giant Lantern Fish that possesses Pure Gold?"
Pure Gold was a legendary treasure coveted by countless people, and even Hades was no exception.
No matter how much life evolved, there would always be a limit.
And Pure Gold could allow one to approach eternal life.
Whether it was Pure Gold or a Super Giant Lantern Fish, in a sense, they surpassed the concepts Shirley understood.
But this wasn't a problem for her.
She performed divination again.
Soon, Shirley opened her eyes, looking at Hades, her eyes seemingly holding some disappointment.
"I saw that lantern fish, sleeping in the Deep Sea. I also saw where it is, but I don't know what place that is."
Since she became aware of her special ability, this was the first time she had failed.
"Haha! It's okay, you're already amazing."
Hades comforted her softly, his eyes growing brighter and brighter, the smile on his face impossible to hide.
For him, this was already enough.
The objective of this trip was fulfilled.
He stayed on Fish-Man Island for two days, taking Shirley, as well as a group of mermaids who would also be brought to the Kronos Kingdom.
The Farazul left Fish-Man Island together with a transport ship from the Pluto Pirate Crew.
