"Alright, Shirley, go and see now who you want to take with you to the Limitless Sea. I'll wait for you here."
Lord Nox gently stroked Shirley's little head.
This little girl Shirley is the same age as Rhodes and Asuna. They should be able to play together when the time comes.
Many Fishman ladies in the cafe heard what Nox said to Shirley.
In the past, when the Limitless Pirates came to Fish-Man Island to pick up Fishmen to live in the Limitless Sea, they always gave priority to adult Fishmen with combat power, and then others.
But many Fishmen who wanted to go to the Limitless Sea could not get a place in the queue. And now, the Fishman ladies working in the cafe are the ones who couldn't get a place in the queue.
So they quickly found Shirley, wanting to go to the Limitless Sea together through Shirley's connections.
And they had heard before that Shirley had the treatment of a Vice Captain, which meant she could get two million Berries a month. They had a good relationship with Shirley before, so they could just latch onto this little rich woman.
Shirley is simple-minded and very willing to take these sisters with her, so she won't be lonely then.
But what Shirley regretted was that she went to find her brother, wanting her brother Arlong to go to the Limitless Sea with her, but Arlong was One Heart wanting to follow Tiger Boss to adventure and was unwilling to go to the Limitless Sea with Shirley.
Arlong didn't stop his sister from going to the Limitless Sea. He knew that the Limitless Sea was a good place for Shirley. It was very safe to go there, and life was also very good, better than in Fish-Man Street.
And before, Tiger also took a group of Fishmen to the Limitless Sea, met the Fishman compatriots living there, and confirmed that the Limitless Pirates were sincerely helping Fish-Man Island. Finally, after Tiger came back, he announced this matter.
With Tiger, a Fishman with great prestige, as a guarantee, the residents of Fish-Man Island trusted the Limitless Pirates even more!
"Mr. Nox, we are ready!"
A few hours later, Shirley and many Fishman young ladies came over with big and small bags of things, with incomparable expectations on their faces.
"Good, let's go now."
"Marcus, arrange the ship, I want to go back to the Limitless Sea."
Nox said, and took Shirley and the others out of the cafe.
In Fish-Man Island, their Limitless Pirates have many ships docked here for emergencies.
"Mr. Nox, we have already prepared a banquet in Ryugu Palace, why not go to Ryugu Palace for a gathering?"
After Nox took Shirley and the others out of Fish-Man Street, Queen Otohime came over with her child.
When she learned that Nox had come to Fish-Man Island, she ran over immediately.
After all, Nox was kind to their Fish-Man Island. As the host, she naturally had to come and invite him in person, to strengthen the relationship and friendship with the Limitless Pirates, so as to make Fish-Man Island live a better life.
"Queen Otohime, then I will trouble you."
"By the way, this is Shirley, a little expert in divination. I plan to invite her to join the Limitless Pirates. These are Shirley's friends. I'll take them to Ryugu Palace for the banquet."
Originally, Nox planned to decline the banquet, but seeing Shirley looking at Otohime with anticipation in her eyes, Nox changed his mind.
In Shirley's eyes, Ryugu Palace is the most prosperous and best-looking place in Fish-Man Island. She naturally wants to see it.
Anyway, Nox has nothing to do now, so it's okay to accompany Shirley to see it.
"Of course, no problem, little Shirley, so cute, come, let me hug you!"
When Otohime saw the cute Shirley following behind Nox, her maternal love overflowed and she hugged Shirley in her arms at once.
"Hello, Queen Otohime!"
Shirley said timidly.
"Oh, little Shirley is so good."
Otohime said gently.
After that, the group went to Ryugu Palace. Neptune arranged everything for the banquet in Ryugu Palace. When Nox arrived, all kinds of delicious food had been placed on the table.
"Mr. Nox, welcome to Ryugu Palace!"
Neptune came to greet him immediately after seeing Nox arrive outside the gate.
Since the Limitless Pirates have been protecting them, the number of human traffickers on Fish-Man Island can be said to be decreasing.
And Fish-Man Island has therefore become safer and safer, the people's living standards have improved a lot, and the population pressure on Fish-Man Island has been reduced a lot.
In general, Fish-Man Island is getting better, richer, and more peaceful at a visible speed.
"Hahahahaha, Mr. Neptune, we meet again!"
Nox sat down with a smile, then let Shirley sit beside him and began to enjoy the Ryugu Palace's delicacies.
"Wow, it's so delicious!"
This was the first time Shirley had eaten Ryugu Palace's food. The food here was much better than the food in Fish-Man Street.
"If it's delicious, eat more, there's still a lot of food here."
Nox said with a smile.
"Yes, yes!"
Hearing Nox say this, Shirley immediately let go of her appetite and ate with her small mouth bulging.
"Mr. Nox, there is something I don't know if I can trouble you to help with?"
Neptune asked at the end of the meal.
"You say."
Nox said casually.
"It's like this, can you trouble Mr. Nox to let the Executive Officer or Captain who is helping to guard Fish-Man Island help us train a group of Fishmen, so that it can also reduce some of the pressure on the Limitless Pirates to guard Fish-Man Island."
Neptune said.
"Yes, that's no problem, I'll just tell them when the time comes."
"But you also know that training this kind of thing depends on resources and talent. It doesn't mean that you will definitely become stronger after training."
Nox said while eating.
Nox knew Neptune's thoughts, he just wanted to increase the strength of Fish-Man Island itself.
As for training this kind of thing, just let some Captains or Executive Officers take the time to guide them.
As for whether they can become stronger, it all depends on personal talent, hard work, and self-awareness.
The Limitless Pirates have hundreds of thousands of people and have a well-established training system, but only those people can become Executive Officers.
In the end, if you want to become stronger, it depends on talent and resources.
"Thank you, Mr. Nox, I'll toast you!"
Neptune was overjoyed when he saw Nox agree.
Both sides had a great time at the banquet. After the banquet, Nox took Shirley and the others to the port and returned to the Limitless Sea by boat.
"Wow, what a beautiful island, is this where the Fishmen live in the Limitless Sea?"
When they arrived at Flower Island in the Limitless Sea, Shirley's eyes lit up when she saw the sea of flowers below, and she was surprised.
Although they had seen various photos and videos before, they were not as shocked as seeing it with their own eyes.
"That's right, this is Flower Island, which is the Fishmen's second home. You can live here from now on."
Nox said, stroking Shirley's little head.
"Then Mr. Nox, will you come to see me often in the future?"
Shirley asked expectantly.
"Of course, now I'll take Shirley to see where I live first. Shirley can also come to my place to play in the future."
Nox said.
After arranging the group of Fishman young ladies he brought to Flower Island, Nox took Shirley to the Wano Country Shogun's mansion and happened to see Asuna coming back from outside, holding a small cage in her hand, with a beautiful butterfly in the cage.
"Father, hug!!"
When Asuna saw Nox coming back, she immediately put the cage on the ground, then trot over and jumped directly into Nox's arms, forcing Nox to hug the little girl.
"Father, why haven't I seen you at home these days!"
Asuna asked curiously after snuggling in Nox's arms for a while.
"Father is busy, why, didn't Rhodes catch butterflies with Asuna?"
Nox lovingly rubbed Asuna's hair.
"Is this Mr. Nox's daughter? It's so lucky to have a Father like Mr. Nox!"
Shirley on the side looked curiously at Asuna being held in Nox's arms, and couldn't help but feel envious.
"Father, Ares elder brother took Rhodes elder brother to play secretly. They didn't take Asuna to play. Asuna is so pitiful, no one plays with Asuna!!"
Hearing Nox's question, a pitiful expression appeared on Asuna's small face, as if she had suffered some great grievance.
But Nox knew that his little daughter was precocious, and this pitiful expression was just pretending.
"Asuna, since no one is playing with you, then Father will find you a playmate, look, this is Fishman Shirley."
Listening to Asuna's words, Nox put Asuna down and put her in front of Shirley. The two five-year-old girls looked at each other curiously.
"My name is Shirley, I just came from Fish-Man Island with Mr. Nox."
Shirley was still a little shy at this time, and her voice was a little weak when she spoke.
"My name is Asuna, can you play with me?"
Asuna looked at Shirley happily and said.
This was the first time she had seen a Fishman. Although she knew about mermaids before, she had never left Wano Country, so all she had seen were Fishmen.
Those Fishmen looked very ugly and did not meet Asuna's aesthetics at all.
But when she saw Shirley, she felt that Shirley was very good-looking.
"What to play?"
Shirley asked curiously.
"Let's go, I'll take you there, you'll know later!"
With that, Asuna took Shirley's little hand and ran out together, ignoring Nox, her Father.
"Husband, it's the first time I've seen you bring an outsider back."
Toki Amatsuki hugged Nox's arm very naturally.
"Shirley has very special abilities and can divine many things, which is very important to us."
"She is playing well with Asuna now, so let her live in the General's mansion. If she wants to go to Flower Island, arrange for someone to send her there, and be sure to protect her."
Nox explained.
