Queen Otohime has always been like a ray of light guiding people through the darkness!
Even Neptune and Jinbe couldn't offer her much help!
Her level of awareness and understanding is higher than that of any fish-man!
She tried and changed things time and time again on the road to peace, and she had to bear all the hardships and obstacles along the way by herself!
Even just watching the video, many people could feel the utter exhaustion and near-collapse on Princess Otohime's face when she saw the autographed mailbox burned!
But she managed to hold on and immediately organized a team to put out the fire.
This is a resilient mermaid, and many of humanity's finest qualities are perfectly embodied in her.
[Number 1, Rocks: Though weak, she is a remarkable woman.]
If they were in Queen Otohime's situation, their first thought would be revenge, to conquer everything by force!
[Number 1 & 2 Whitebeard: He receives all the favors from Queen Otohime, yet he still manages to fire a sneak shot! This fishman deserves to die!!]
[Commoner A, the fish-man, seems no different from us humans; he has emotions just like us, and even Queen Otohime possesses noble qualities that most people lack!]
[Commoner B, #2: Yes, I'd heard before that fish-men might carry infectious diseases, so I'd always been hesitant to have much contact with them. I never imagined there could be such admirable people among them. Seeing how hard Queen Otohime works, I suddenly feel that if humans and fish-men could coexist peacefully, many tragedies could be avoided!]
[Civilian B #2: If all murlocs were like this, we'd be happy to coexist peacefully with them!]
[Civilian C #2: That's right!!]
[Number 2 Sengoku: She was a true hero, but unfortunately, her kindness ultimately underestimated the evil in the world! She was injured, and it must have been incredibly difficult for her to move forward alone!]
The Warring States period shared a strong sense of empathy because they had many similarities!
They are both intelligent people, and both are making insignificant efforts for peace!
Such a person deserves everyone's respect, not persecution!
[Marco #2: Perhaps she is an angel! The human world cannot contain her.]
Many powerful figures have given it the highest praise!
However, Hody Jones, Daken, and the others on Fishman Island No. 2 were filled with fear at this moment!
They felt that the whole world was hostile towards them!
……
In video number 1, Hody Jones is holding up a human corpse. When Jinbe finds him, he tries to stop Hody from telling everyone about it!
Because if the fact that humans assassinated Queen Otohime were to be exposed at such an important event where fish-men and humans were supposed to be living in peace!
Then the entire Fishman Island will once again lose trust in humans and be filled with hatred and anger towards them!
And that's exactly what Hody Jones wanted to see! So Jinbe's attempts to stop him were of no use!
Jinbe stopped her because he knew how much effort Queen Otohime had put into this matter!
Even if it was done by a few humans, Queen Otohime would never want them to take their anger out on all humans!
Moreover, Jinbe felt there was something fishy about this matter.
We need to investigate thoroughly before we can announce it to the public!
But Hody Jones is the real murderer, and he couldn't possibly let what Jinbe desires happen.
He seized upon this moment when everyone was blinded by anger.
It has been announced that the one who attacked Queen Otohime was a human pirate!!
In addition, he was wearing a Neptune Army uniform!
At this moment, it undoubtedly possesses extremely high credibility!
All the fishmen wore expressions of disbelief and anger!
"Humans cannot be trusted!!"
"Damn humans!! How dare they fire a sneak shot at Queen Otohime!!"
"Humans are absolutely the most dangerous monster species!!"
"We don't want to live on land!!"
"Slaughter all humans!! Avenge Queen Otohime!!"
"That's right!! We must get revenge!!" The fishmen's rage was instantly ignited! The entire plaza was filled with an atmosphere of madness!
Upon seeing this scene, Hody, an extreme racist, also wore an expression of anger and sorrow!
But in reality, he was overjoyed. Yes! That's how it should be! All of humanity should be wiped out!
This is the ideal fish-man kingdom he imagined!
"He's talking nonsense!!" But just then, a piercing voice rang out!
Luffy walked out, pointed at Hody Jones, and said confidently!
Ace and Sabo followed behind Luffy.
Meanwhile, Raine walked step by step through the crowd toward Queen Otohime!
The merman soldiers immediately became alert, staring intently at Renn!
“Lord Rein…lay down your weapons, Lord Rein is not an enemy!” Jinbe said to the wary soldiers.
"But..." Under normal circumstances, the soldiers would naturally lay down their weapons.
However, because of the assassination of Queen Otohime by humans, the fish-men are more vigilant than ever before.
Even though a human child just said Hody was talking nonsense.
But how many people take a child's words to heart?
"Let him come here..." Queen Otohime's weak voice rang out.
"It's alright." As he passed by Little White Star, who looked sad and helpless, Rein offered a word of comfort.
Jinbe suddenly remembered something and hurriedly pleaded, "Rein-san, please save Queen Otohime!"
Jinbe remembered Rein's amazing healing ability!
He could recover from his previous severe injuries in an instant; perhaps he could save Queen Otohime!
Upon hearing Jinbe's words, Hody Jones revealed a barely perceptible sneer; the bullet had pierced his heart.
It's already a miracle that he can still speak! To think he can be saved is wishful thinking.
"Lord Rein, it seems I won't have the chance to see the future of Fishman Island. Could you please... take good care of Shirahoshi? She's just a child who doesn't understand anything yet." Queen Otohime looked at Rein with pleading eyes.
As soon as these words were spoken, everyone, including Rein, knew that this was Queen Otohime's wish for Rein to keep the secret!
For Bai Xing, the best way to protect her is to keep her identity as Hades a secret.
Many people were moved; even at this moment, she was still not thinking of herself!
“Okay.” Renn agreed, and everyone else had found their answer.
How many people could refuse such a great and selfless "last words" from a mother!
It's understandable that Ryan kept this secret.
However, Ryan changed the subject: "But ultimately, a child still needs a real mother."
"I know my own situation... Although I am also very unwilling, but... I can't do it... But, I still want to see the future Fishman Island, I can't let them hate humans because of me." Queen Otohime's voice grew softer and softer.
"It's a pity I can't see you change the plans for Fishman Island. Did I really do something wrong...?" Queen Otohime never thought she had done anything wrong, but this time it seemed she had failed again.
Only after being reminded by Raine did she realize that what she had done was just a tiny part of the ideal of peaceful coexistence between fish-men and humans!
But now she can't even do this small part well!
This made her wonder if she had done something wrong.
"The problem lies with this complex world, not with you."
"It sounds like words of comfort, but I'm glad to have someone acknowledge me before I die."
"What nonsense are you talking about? Actually... this is also part of the plan. Although it's not good for a living legend, there's no other way. I'm just too soft-hearted."
A single sentence from Renn left Prince Shark Star, Shen Ping, and the others staring at him in disbelief!
Even Queen Otohime suddenly widened her eyes, staring at Rein in astonishment!
Could it be that he orchestrated this shooting?
He said it requires a person to dedicate their entire life to playing a role—does that mean playing a dead person, a fallen hero?!
"It's not what you think. This is part of the plan, but I didn't arrange for the murderer to be there. He's the real killer. But from now on, my plan will take over," Ryan said with a smile.
Then he raised his hand, and a bright green light shone on Queen Otohime!
A bullet slowly floated out of Queen Otohime's body!
The fatal wound was healing little by little, and the many fishmen watched this miraculous scene in shock and silence!
No one dared to breathe loudly, for fear of waking them from this dreamlike scene!
Queen Otohime quickly recovered from her injuries, and her complexion returned to its rosy hue, all under the astonished gazes of the crowd.
Queen Otohime stood up once again!
