Chapter 166: The Oath Ship and the Seed of Power
In the Sea Forest.
This forest lies on the bottom of the sea. Due to the ocean currents transporting sunken ships here, it is also known as the "Ship Graveyard."
Despite being under the sea, the "Sunlight Tree Eve" transmits sunlight from the surface down to Fishman Island, allowing vibrant corals to flourish. Schools of fish and even whales often forage in the area.
It's one of the most beautiful places on Fishman Island.
At this time—
While heading toward the Poneglyph.
Otohime instructed the Sea King Army to spread out slightly. She walked beside Mio, her expression filled with sorrow, and asked softly, "Mr. Black Crow... although pirates commit all kinds of crimes, because Tiger and I were good friends, I still admire those who sail for their dreams. I also understand that only by truly venturing out can one grasp how vast the world is. So, I'd like to ask—do you believe it's truly impossible for Fishman Island and humans to coexist peacefully?"
"Heh."
Mio chuckled at her words, shaking his head. "It's not about whether it's possible. It's just wishful thinking. Unless Fishman Island can overthrow the World Government and rebuild the rules of this world."
As far as the current world order goes, the dream of coexistence is a fantasy.
Even if the rules were rewritten with strict laws and a long period of cooperation followed, the chances would remain slim.
