Chapter 438: Human Rights Issue
"This is—Vegapunk?"
Location: Fish-Man Kingdom's palace—Ryugu Palace. Tesoro stood nearly dumbfounded, looking upward.
Looking up at Vegapunk's massive head.
"So, so big!"
Queen Otohime's nose was running.
To welcome both Dr. Vegapunks' arrival, all Fish-Man Island's high-ranking personnel had currently gathered.
"Too absurd!"
Even King Neptune couldn't help clicking his tongue. This Vegapunk guy's head was larger than his entire body!
"The world's number one scientist—indeed extraordinary!"
Jinbei nodded gravely.
Thinking carefully—a man possessing technology five hundred years ahead of the world naturally should have this degree of brain, right?
Brett couldn't help glancing at Jinbei-aniki.
Literal brain?
"We'll temporarily be staying at Fish-Man Island troubling everyone. Please take good care of us."
Clone Vegapunk's social skills far surpassed the main body. He smiled cheerfully greeting Brett's various companions.
"Rather—Dr. Vegapunks' arrival makes Fish-Man Island shine brighter."
King Neptune wasn't some deep-sea hermit. He was properly someone who'd chatted happily with many human kingdom kings and formed deep friendships.
His social skills were quite strong. Smiling, he began conversing with Clone Vegapunk.
"But you actually did it?"
Tesoro walked beside Brett, couldn't help gloating. "Now truly anticipating what the Government's reaction will be!"
"What reaction could they have? Either furious rage or genuine hatred."
Brett shrugged. "But regardless, they can't change current results anymore."
"I'm increasingly feeling we've got victory in the bag."
Tesoro said seriously.
"Of course. From the start, victory would only be grasped in our hands!"
Brett felt quite confident about this. Because this was genius prophet beauty Shyarly's prophecy. A prophecy that would definitely walk from future to reality.
From the start, their side's victory was already determined. Suspense only lay in when and how they'd win.
Brett's confidence made Tesoro smile.
He grinned. "Right, Morgans' newspaper should be published soon. Really anticipating what reactions people worldwide will have after knowing what the Government did."
"If you hadn't mentioned it, I'd almost forgotten. Should call friends."
Brett suddenly remembered this matter.
If the Government suddenly dispatched Navy transformed into Fish-Men to attack friends—might affect mutual friendships.
Must give friends advance warning.
However, at this moment, the big-headed Doctor swayed over. He said somewhat dissatisfied:
"Little Brett—how long must we stay here?!"
Hearing this, Clone Vegapunk also stopped conversing with King Neptune. Looked at Brett with urging eyes.
"Then let's go. I'll take you there now."
Letting both Dr. Vegapunks meet future colleagues early might not be bad. Tom-san and the others should be quite happy.
After all, those three master-disciples called themselves shipwrights. Actually not much different from scientists. So how many scientists could resist the temptation of working with Vegapunk?
Simultaneously, in world corners everywhere—as Tesoro said—World Economic News Agency newspapers again scattered down from the sky.
When the first person buying a newspaper opened it, his pupils directly contracted. His entire face seemed to instantly stiffen.
"No, no way! Such things actually happen?!"
Such exclamations sounded worldwide in extremely short time.
"Science can actually accomplish even this?!"
"Vegapunk! Definitely Dr. Vegapunk's work!"
"But how could they do such things?!"
Worldwide people were exclaiming.
The newspaper recorded only one news item—Fish-Man Island's protest to the World Government.
The newspaper cover was a photograph. The photo showed a group of restrained Fish-Men. Leading them—a female Fish-Man attempting but failing to conceal her face.
Fish-Man Island's accusation content: The World Government was conducting lineage factor experiments. Attempting to transform humans into Fish-Men.
These terrorists infiltrating Fish-Man Island were the World Government's first batch of transformation results.
Below—many comparison images posted successively. Vice Admiral Momousagi and others' past appearances versus their current appearances.
Thus proving to all readers—these Fish-Men were indeed Navy officers transformed.
These transformed people could never return to being human. Even their descendants could only be Fish-Men.
Fish-Man Island couldn't tolerate such tragic facts. So decided to bravely expose it.
Because this completely violated both human and Fish-Man races' fundamental rights.
Fish-Man Island strongly protested the Government's such behavior. Demanded they immediately cease experiments.
After seeing such news, worldwide people found it truly hard not to be shocked.
People's first reaction: The Government doing such things—were they planning to break ties with Fish-Man Island?
Everyone at sea knew Fish-Man Island's prosperity. But being located in deep seas—nobody could do anything about them.
So the Government conducted such research—making Fish-Man Island unable to hide.
After such speculation, discussions came.
Current Fish-Man Island differed from that past small transparency in the world.
It had extremely strong presence throughout the entire world.
After all, even now All Stars' live concerts never stopped. That Tesoro guy continuously filmed movies. Even adding Morgans' fanning flames.
Cultural output plus various goods' continuous circulation—Fish-Man Island had truly connected with the world. Displayed its appearance to the world.
Worldwide people's recognition toward this island was quite high.
Guessing the Government wanted to use conspiracies against Fish-Man Island—moreover such human ethics-disregarding conspiracies—the entire world was boiling.
However now—something boiling even more fiercely existed.
"What exactly is going on, Sengoku-san?!!"
A certain man had already directly charged into the still-bedridden Fleet Admiral's hospital room.
Seeing this aggressive man, Sengoku could only sigh. "Tsuru—"
Of course, actually boiling most fiercely—Mariejois.
"Oh! Humans becoming Fish-Men? Sounds quite interesting!"
"Right, right! I've never owned such slaves before!!"
