one piece: gene extraction and fusion system-Chapter 296: The Territory of the Black Crow

Mio reached out his hand to tease Shirahoshi's little face, then looked at the minister and Shark Star beside him and asked, "I wonder what you two have considered?"

"This..." The minister looked hesitant, but thinking of the current situation of Fishman Island, he gritted his teeth and looked at Shark Star, saying, "Your Majesty, my suggestion is to agree."

"In that case, then agree," Shark Star nodded.

"Very good." Hearing this, Mio smiled and spoke slowly. "I think this decision will definitely not be wrong for Fishman Island. From now on, the Black Crow flag will be erected on this island. Anyone who dares to make trouble on this island will only die."

"Then I'll trouble Lord Black Crow," the minister nodded and breathed a sigh of relief.

No matter what the consequences of this decision will be, at least the decision had been made, and Fishman Island could finally breathe a sigh of relief and no longer worry as it had in the past few days.

Mio also nodded and prepared to leave.

But before leaving, Mio stopped and said, "You two, I have a suggestion that you can consider."

"Please go ahead."

"The reason why Fishman Island is in a difficult situation is that it does not have enough strength to protect itself. Strength is the foundation of this world. I think Fishman Island needs to have enough strength to protect itself. What do you think?" Mio asked.

"You are right." The minister agreed with this very much. This is a world where strength is supreme. Not having strength is the greatest sin.

If Fishman Island had strong enough power, it would not have fallen to this point.

"In this case, if possible, I would like to accept this little princess as my disciple. I will personally train her in the future and let her become a strong person. How about it?" Mio said with a smile.

"Really?" Hearing this, the minister did not suspect anything else, only happiness. After all, Shirahoshi had not yet shown any abnormal Sea King-related abilities.

And there was no doubt that Black Crow was strong. If Princess Shirahoshi were trained by Black Crow, she would definitely become a strong person in the future. At that time, Fishman Island would also have its own protector and not be so passive.

It could be said that he was very willing.

"It seems that the two of you have agreed. In that case, when Shirahoshi is older, I will start to train her. For now, let Princess Shirahoshi grow up well," Mio said with a smile, then turned and left.

Before leaving Ryugu City, Mio also discussed some matters with the minister—mainly how to announce that Fishman Island had officially become Black Crow's territory.

After everything was settled, Mio left Ryugu City.

He then arrived at a hotel, where the Black Crow Pirates would rest during their stay on Fishman Island.

After all, Mio would not rush to leave. The matter of establishing control over Fishman Island had reached its preliminary stage. The next steps involved deeper infiltration until the island was completely under his command.

As for Shark Star?

The minister?

Mio didn't care about either of them.

One was still a child who hadn't matured.

The other was an old man with no strength.

At most, it would be like Wapol's usurpation in the Drum Kingdom. He could simply replace them if necessary—it wouldn't be a problem.

And another very important matter awaited him on Fishman Island: Noah.

Noah was hidden in Fishman Street, a massive ship the size of half the island. It was also a vessel that could be cultivated. How could Mio possibly ignore it?

To be honest, now was a good time to claim Noah.

Back at the hotel.

The place was lively. The entire building had been cleared to serve the Black Crow Pirates. Of course, this was paid service.

But even if it weren't, the staff would still be happy to host the Black Crow Pirates. This much was clear when Mio entered and saw many beautiful mermaid girls in the hotel.

Upon seeing him, the mermaids let out excited cries and swarmed around him, asking all kinds of questions.

Some of the soft areas inevitably made contact, leaving Mio both distressed and somewhat entertained.

"Lord Black Crow, I'm your fan! Can you sign something for me?"

"Will Lord Black Crow be resting here? I'm a server here. I can serve you!"

"You're so handsome, Lord Black Crow!"

The girls of Fishman Island were indeed more open and enthusiastic. Mio spoke slowly with a gentle smile. "Ladies, could you give me a little space first? Being this close is a bit too much for me to handle."

Hearing this, some of the shy mermaid girls blushed.

However, the bolder ones only clung to him even more.

Mio smiled bitterly and immediately said, "Alright, everyone, I have something to discuss with my companions. We'll be staying on Fishman Island for a while. Also, I believe Ryugu Castle will be making a good announcement soon—you can look forward to it."

With that, Mio left with Asuka and the others and entered a private room.

The mermaid girls began chatting excitedly about Mio's cryptic words.

...

At this moment.

Inside the room.

As soon as Mio stepped in, a figure jumped into his arms and said happily, "Sir, Penny missed you so much!"

Holding the soft body, Mio patted Penny's head, then gently put her down and said, "You did a good job on Fishman Island."

"Hehe, of course! I won't let you down, sir." Penny looked up proudly.

After a moment, she pulled a young girl beside her and said, "Oh right, sir, this is my adopted sister, Perona. She's a Ghost Fruit user. It's a very useful ability. I think she might be helpful to you."

"Oh?"

Hearing this, Mio looked at the girl in front of him, a flash of surprise in his eyes. She was delicate and cute.

Holding a rag doll in her arms, she appeared a bit scared under Mio's gaze and shrank into Penny's embrace.

As a popular female character in the original story, Mio naturally knew her. But he hadn't expected Penny to find her.

Perona was a user of the Ghost Fruit—an ability that could be called buggy. Maybe not extremely powerful, but definitely useful.

Perona, still a little girl at this time, looked timid and adorable.

Mio simply smiled and nodded. "Not bad. If you train her well, she could be useful in the future."

"Hehe, don't worry, sir! I'll definitely train Perona well." Penny nodded seriously.

"Yeah." Mio didn't say more. He sat down on a chair, poured himself a glass of wine, and asked, "How's the investigation going?"

"All clear." Penny responded quickly. "Right now, whether it's the guys in Fishman Street or residents elsewhere on Fishman Island, they all respect and admire you, sir. There's no hatred. The few who opposed you have already been dealt with quietly by my sister. No one noticed anything."

"I see." Mio touched his chin, his eyes flickering. From the looks of it, perhaps now was the time to consider taking Noah for himself. freēnovelkiss.com
