The gold card was handed over, and then one gold card was given to each of the Navy personnel transferred from G3, but the limit was only ten million.
After everyone had left in high spirits, Ghost Shark turned around and looked at the guests from Fishman Island.
On the other side, Prince Shark Star clutched his chest and couldn't help but tremble twice.
The moment the ghost shark landed, a sense of pressure and closeness from the bloodline simultaneously stimulated the body.
A voice seemed to tell him from the bottom of his heart: This girl must be connected to the ocean!
Recalling Xia Li's prophecy, Shark Star's attitude suddenly became serious.

Lone Star Town, Ancient Honey Restaurant.
The confit chicken leg is roasted to a crispy perfection, garnished with broccoli. The tender, runny egg yolk bursts with aroma when poked with a fork. Waffles, maple syrup, and smoked salmon are arranged in this arrangement.
Herbs are lightly sprinkled on the baked beans in tomato sauce, next to a red wine standing on a checkered tablecloth.
"Prince Shark?" Ghost Shark gently cut off a small piece of duck leg, looked up and asked, "What brings you to Crescent Moon Island?"
Upon hearing this, Shark Star quickly put down his waffle, wiped his mouth with a napkin, and said seriously, "Father wishes to invite Lady Ghost Shark to visit Fishman Island."
"Madam?" The girl noticed Shark Star's choice of words; this kind of address was usually used when traveling in a private capacity.
“Yes.” Jinbe patted his back, nearly choking on the delicious salmon. “King Neptune would like to have a talk with you.”
"Before that, please allow me to ask, what is your view on the relationship between fish-men and humans?" Shark Star straightened his fish back.
"Did Jinbe ask this question before?" Specter asked, sipping his yogurt.
Jinbe paused for a moment, seemingly lost in memories, and shook his head. "I've never asked."
"Let me answer formally then: I do not discriminate against fish-people or mermaids."
Ghost Shark said casually, cutting off another duck leg. "But what's the use? Aren't the two races discriminating against each other right now?"
"No, it is only pirates and Celestial Dragons who truly discriminate against you, but you discriminate against the entire human race."
“What you say makes sense.” Jinbe nodded, thought for a moment, and then defended the fish-men, saying, “Fish-men have only become like this because they have suffered too much harm from humans…”
Hahahaha.
Ghost Shark chuckled, interrupting him.
"Are you kidding me, Jinbe? Whitebeard took over Fishman Island, and order there has largely returned to normal. There are far fewer slave ships and troublemaking pirates. On the contrary, you fishmen have been relentlessly spreading hatred ever since Queen Otohime passed away."
Deng!
Shark Star immediately stood up, supporting himself on his fishtail, and spoke righteously.
"But ultimately, it was humans who shot my mother! My mother saved the Celestial Dragons, even willingly taking a bullet for them, and started from scratch to promote harmonious coexistence with humans, but she died on the eve of her vision's realization!!!"
He excitedly pointed to Jinbe, "Mr. Tiger of the Sun Pirates did the same, he rescued the human little girl,..."
Instead, it was attacked by the navy and ultimately died because humans refused to give it a blood transfusion!
Ghost Shark was trying to suppress a laugh, his shoulders shaking uncontrollably.
On the contrary, Jinbe remained silent when Tiger's matter was mentioned.
"Ms. Ghost Shark, I respect you as the savior of Fishman Island." Shark Star was clearly angry, clenching his fists. "But is the tragedy of Fishman Island really that funny?"
"Hmm, that's funny." Ghost Shark wiped his mouth and stared straight at Shark Star.
"You!" Shark Star slammed the trident into the ground, making a dull thud.
Ah ~
The diners and waiters were immediately startled and screamed.
"Mind your manners! You disgusting shark!"
After saying that, Specter stood up and slowly opened his eyes. The speed was very slow, and Jinbe did not notice any danger.
However, after just one simple blink, Shark Star suddenly froze, his eyes filled with horror, standing there dumbfounded, cold sweat pouring down his face.
The subtle application of Conqueror's Haki.
Shark Star loosened his grip, and the trident clattered to the ground. Only then did Jinbe notice that his prince was slumped in the guest seat, inexplicably panting, his eyes glazed over.
Oh, what happened?
He shifted his gaze to Ghost Shark, whom he considered someone he respected.
"You've really disgraced the shark species!" Ghost Shark said with exasperation. "Let me tell you."
"Is Tiger truly a human who refuses blood transfusions?" She stared at Jinbe. "No one should know better than you."
Shark Star's gaze shifted, and under two blinding stares, the blue-skinned fat man seemed to be roasted over a fire.
"Cough cough cough..." Jinbe choked on the fruit wine, moved his mouth, and after a moment, shook his head.
Shark Star's eyes widened suddenly, and his body tensed instantly.
"As for the Navy arresting Tiger, that's their duty. Even if..."
Ghost Shark's attention was suddenly drawn to the view outside the window, where an old man was munching on a piece of roasted meat taller than himself, swaggering around the food court.
“Even if that old man’s grandson becomes a pirate, I’ll still arrest him without fail!” Specter Shark turned his gaze back. “Let alone an ordinary pirate?”
"Furthermore, where were you when Jinbe's good brother was oppressing dozens of towns in the East Blue? Where were you when Arlong massacred Kosha Town? It's utterly ridiculous!"
When Arlong was mentioned, Jinbe sadly lowered his head, as if he had lost all his energy. Shark Star also remained silent; he had heard about this as well.
"Finally, there's the case of Queen Otohime's murder, which you're concerned about." At this point, Specter's expression became even more complicated, and it was unclear what expression to use to respond.
The main problem is that this matter is simply too outrageous.
"That's the most ridiculous thing."
She simply began to enjoy her food, ignoring the two men's anger, and spoke in a relaxed tone, as if she were chatting about everyday matters.
"It was clearly the fishman who killed him, and Otohime clearly knew, but she chose to protect the murderer and tacitly allowed the blame to be placed on the humans." Specter smiled and shook her head, her eating manners elegant and charming. "Truly a great coexistenceist."
"What did you say?" Shark Star was furious and immediately grabbed his weapon. "This isn't how you overturn a verdict for humanity!"
Jinbe quickly stepped between the two, feeling both shocked and somewhat exhausted.
Prince, you'd better be more careful!
Don't you even know your own capabilities? Don't you even know where you are?
"Oh, are you angry?" The dark red fruit wine churned and foamed in the stemmed glass. Specter shook it, his expression relaxed. "How about we make a Den Den Mushi and ask your dear Shirahoshi?"
What does that mean? Does Shirahoshi know?
Shark Star and Jinbe's expressions froze on their faces.
The next second, the mermaid prince frantically searched for Den Den Mushi (snail phone blocks), found one, opened the cover, and, ignoring the phone signal, dialed directly.
Without a specific number, the Den Den Mushi automatically pagees the last person it called.
Boo boo boo...
"Moshi, Moshi, this is the Right Minister. May I ask the Prince..."
Before Minister Kaiba could finish speaking, a powerful roar echoed over.
"Shut up, let Shirahoshi answer the phone!!!"
Minister Kaiba was so startled that he almost dropped his Den Den Mushi. Knowing that the prince was in a hurry, he staggered towards the Hard Shell Tower.
"Moshi moshi, brother, what's wrong?" A sweet girl's voice quickly came through the Den Den Mushi.
Upon hearing this voice, Shark Star realized he had lost his composure, composed himself, and said seriously, "White Star, tell me honestly, did Mother really die at the hands of humans?"
The Den Den Mushi fell into a long silence.
"Yes...yes, yes, it was made by humans." After a long while, Shirahoshi's slightly unnatural voice finally came from the other end.
Shark Star suddenly dropped the Den Den Mushi from his hand, his face turned ashen, and he collapsed to the ground, dizzy.
After more than ten years of companionship between siblings, how could he not realize it was a lie?
Even Jinbe put down the food in his hand, his expression solemn and his face terribly gloomy.
The one who killed the princess was not human!
Chapter 153 The five-year period has come to an end, welcome... (Bonus chapter for Romanov)
"Lady Ghost Shark"
Jinbe took two steps back, bowed deeply, and said with utmost respect, "Please tell me, who is the real culprit? I beg you!"
"I'm so sorry!" Shark Star's attitude in admitting his mistake was extremely sincere, his head almost hitting the table. "I was really too impulsive. But please tell me, who killed my mother? Please."
Specter didn't keep people in suspense, after all, Lone Star Town had also provided a lot of supplies for the reconstruction of Fishman Island, and the cooperation between the two sides was quite pleasant.
That person is from your royal guard.
"One of them." She took a sip of fruit wine and said with a smile what made the two of them break out in a cold sweat.
Royal soldiers?!
Doesn't that mean that if word gets out, the safety of your family will be at risk?
Shark suddenly regretted making that phone call.
"Well, there's no need to worry so much. Maybe that guy has already left the guard."
"Tell me who you are!" Shark Star glared angrily, eager to go home.
“Another disgrace to the shark clan, and a great white shark at that!” Ghost Shark shook his head and sighed. “What a misfortune for the beastmen. His name is—Hody Jones.”
Hody Jones?
Upon hearing this, Shark Star breathed a sigh of relief.
This guy left the guard the year his mother had her accident, wait, he fled to escape punishment?
Furthermore, after the dragon was defeated, they formed the New Fishman Pirates, claiming to be the 'successors of the dragon's will'.
He quickly found a Den Den Mushi (snail phone) and prepared to notify the Right Minister to send troops to arrest Hody Jones.
“I advise you not to do that,” Ghost Shark said at the opportune moment.
"Why?" Shark Star and Jinbe both looked over curiously.
"Because he has a dangerous drug. The entire new Fishman Pirates crew is on drugs, and only Jinbe can handle them."
Jinbe looked at the girl with a complicated expression.
This child has quite a few secrets; he even knows the hidden secrets of the Dragon Palace?
Shark Star was also taken aback when he heard this. The theft of the Jade Box happened three years ago. At that time, Ghost Shark had just joined the Navy, right?
"In short, to be on the safe side, let's wait for Jinbe to return before starting the war." After finishing this topic, Specter looked at Shark Star, "Now you can talk about your real purpose for coming to Crescent Moon Island."
"Father wants to observe you more closely, the future successor of Fishman Island." Shark Star glanced at Ghost Shark, his expression complicated.
Who would have thought that the throne, which should have been rightfully his, would be handed over so easily?
successor?
The little shark was confused. How many shifts do I still have to take?
"At least in terms of governance, you are excellent."
Shark Star turned to look out the window. This island had gone from desolation to prosperity in less than a year, a truly astonishing speed of development.
In addition to its basic status as an "artistic capital of flowers and food," more and more trade routes originate from Lonely Star Town, making it possible for the area to develop into a commercial center of the West Sea in the future.
After finishing their meal, Shark Star wasn't in the mood to stay any longer. After delivering the gifts as usual, he quickly boarded the ship with Jinbe and left.
Lone Star Town, naval base training ground.
"Grandpa Garp, is this your training method?" Specter pointed at the soldiers lying haphazardly, his face full of black lines.
"Pfft, hahaha." Garp chewed on a pocketful of beef jerky, his response muffled, "Fighting is the fastest way to learn."
He walked ahead, strutting with an extremely arrogant, pigeon-toed gait. "Don't worry, these bastards are all veterans of the G3 branch. They know how to handle things."
No sooner had he finished speaking than a soldier from the Deep Sea Fleet suffered a broken nose, bleeding profusely...
"I thought you were going to have them smash mountains. For example, flatten 10 mountains with their fists every day, and in a few years they would be the strongest army in the world."
Karp suddenly stopped and turned back.
