Chapter 299: Future Underwater Army
Mio left the Fishman Island Square.
Meanwhile, the minister began discussing with Shark Star how to announce to the Fishman Island citizens that Black Crow would be taking Noah away.
In truth, the minister clearly understood that Black Crow's ability to protect Fishman Island was an unexpected blessing. With Black Crow's strength, even if he had seized the island by force, no one could have stopped him. But that would have been unpopular.
Therefore, regarding Noah, the minister had no intention of refusing Black Crow, only of hesitating—because he needed a way to explain things to the people. After all, Noah did not belong to the royal family alone—it belonged to every resident of Fishman Island.
But what the minister had told Mio earlier was no lie. If it were anyone else trying to take Noah, they'd have no chance of getting the island's consent without using force, even if some residents had forgotten Noah.
But if it was Mio—Black Crow—then things were different.
Because now, Black Crow was the protector of Fishman Island.
Most residents would agree to his request.
"Once Lord Black Crow takes Noah, we should just be honest about it," Shark Star suggested.
"Yes." The minister nodded. That was the best path—to speak the truth. He believed their fellow citizens wouldn't mind.
Besides, eight hundred years was a long time. Noah had already been largely forgotten. In a few more decades, people might even come to resent it, considering how much space it takes up.
