One Piece: Dark Sky

The letter that Princess Otohime had just read out from the Celestial Dragon had aroused great influence among the audience listening to her speech, but it was more of suspicion and speculation.

"Hey, did you hear that Princess Otohime said just now that the Tianlongren sent a letter to Murloc Island?"

"Yeah, they said they would support our signature."

"The Tianlong people will support our signature?"

"No way."

The murlocs in the audience were still discussing in low voices, and Princess Otohime standing on the podium was condescending, and naturally paid attention to people's performance, but, the matter has come to this point, how can one turn back!

In her view, this is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity, a chance to realize her dream, so that the islanders of Murloc Island can live under the real sun, without distinction between races and prejudices.

"Although the mood is complicated..."

Princess Otohime once again raised the letter from the Tianlongren in her hand and said.

"So, what's needed next is more signatures."

"I can only wait quietly for everyone to make a decision."

"So, please express your will to coexist with human beings, and the will to emigrate to the earth!"

Princess Otohime opened her arms enthusiastically and shouted loudly.

quiet……

It was deathly quiet, without the "natural" scrambling that Ottohime imagined, not even the "be prepared" abuse and clamor, there was just this embarrassing silence that destroyed your confidence.

Princess Otohime was still holding her arms high, as if she was looking forward to the scene she had hoped for, but her expression was slowly stiffening and collapsing, and the smiling face that was originally enthusiastic, now only left embarrassment.

"Please everyone! Please sign!"

Princess Othime had already knelt down on the ground and begged. It was hard to imagine that a royal family could do this.

But Princess Otohime did it, even though the answer to her was still indifference.

"well……"

A deep sense of powerlessness assaulted Princess Otohime, and she sat down on the ground with a disappointed face...

At this time, small hands held a signature sheet and threw it into the big wooden box in front of Princess Otome...

"whee!"

It was a few children, and they were trying their best to put on a smiling face for Princess Otohime to see.

"Children, you won't make me happy now, and ask me to return it later."

The previous incident cast a great shadow on Princess Otohime, so that she is still afraid now, but the children gave her bigger smiles and said.

"No, Mom said she would sign it too."

"Yes, yes, my mother also said she would sign it!"

"Um?"

rustle...

It was the sound of pieces of paper piercing the air. Princess Otohime looked at more and more signature lists in the wooden box, her eyes were filled with unbelievable and uncontrollable joy, she slowly raised her head.

What I saw was exactly the scene I most wanted to see before the speech!

"Your Highness Otohime, such a small box is not enough."

"Do you know the population of our country?"

Otohime's eyes had long been soaked with tears, and the tears kept swirling in her eye sockets. She covered her mouth with her hands, and tried hard to suppress her emotions. At this moment, she finally felt that she Her efforts were not in vain. At this moment, she felt that what she had done before was worthwhile.

"Okay, okay! Change to this this time, everyone who agrees with the princess' earnest wish, please put your signature here!"

Minister Zuo came to the square holding a huge box aloft, and people were more enthusiastic about sending in signature forms.

Princess Otome covered her mouth with her hands, but the tears in her eyes accumulated more and more. Finally, the embankment burst, and Princess Otome burst into tears, but it was tears of joy.

The crying princess was taken away by the right minister with a smile on her face. Even the knight of the sea who was as strong as Puneton shed tears of joy at this moment.

Murlocs and humans, we have always been reluctant to face this history full of discrimination, but with this step taken by the princess herself, new hope has been born.

"As long as this signature can be collected a little more, maybe the future of Fishman Island can really change."

"As long as he can understand Princess Otome's strong belief, Aaron may really be saved."

"I really want to show Brother Tai the scene."

Jinbei, who was also holding an autograph sheet, was looking at Princess Otohime, who was smiling and answering the child's questions, thinking silently in his heart.

At this time, in the sea forest, Aladdin came here again with his trident, and Tiger was still sitting there, as if he hadn't moved.

"Aren't you going to see it?"

Aladdin looked at Baoshu Adam and said in a daze.

However, Tiger didn't answer, just staring blankly at the huge tree roots in front of him.

"well……"

Aladdin sighed and left...

The signings continued, and while the islanders remained skeptical of humans, they looked forward to a new era.

"Princess Otohime!"

Several children ran over excitedly with autograph slips.

"I signed it again!"

As if showing off, he put the autograph list in his hand in front of Princess Otaki.

"That's cheating! One person can only sign once!"

Princess Otohime pretended to be serious and preached.

"Yes... I'm sorry..."

Those children were like eggplants beaten by frost, they withered away, but Princess Otohime put on a smiling face again and said.

"I have received your wishes, thank you very much."

"The hard work has finally paid off."

Minister Zuo who saw this scene on the side said.

But……

"Oops!"

"It's on fire!"

"Everyone, stay away! The fire is on!"

"Why is the autograph box suddenly..."

"Get some water!"

The originally orderly square became chaotic, and the huge signature box caught fire!

"What exactly is going on!"

"The signatures that were finally collected were..."

Just when Minister Zuo was in a daze, a beautiful figure awkwardly walked onto the stage carrying a bucket of water.

"B...Princess Yi Ji!"

"Quickly put out the fire and protect the signature!"

Princess Otohime poured a bucket of water on her body, and then rushed into the scene of fire without saying a word!

"Princess Otohime!"

Holding the signature that had been rescued and almost turned into ashes, Princess Otohime held them tightly in her arms and said without any scruples about her severely burned hands.

"These are very important signatures, they must be protected!"

"We can't let everyone's hard work go to waste, because they carry everyone's dreams!"

"It's also related to the future of Fishman Island!"

The surrounding soldiers were all moved by the princess's persistence.

"Yes! We will do our best to save the signature!"

"Run away and leave it to us."

A soldier said to Princess Otohime, Princess Otohime was still holding the signature sheet that had been burned, and slowly stood up, but she didn't know that danger was coming quietly...

In a certain corner, the pitch-black gun barrel was aimed at her!

"boom!"

A gunshot!

Princess Otohime was shot in the chest, looked at the autograph sheet that was continuously reduced to ashes in the air, and fell on the fire with a face of unwillingness...

"Ahhh!"

"Princess Othime was shot?"

"Doctor! Call the doctor!"

The plaza, which was already in a state of turmoil, completely exploded!
