Chapter 86: Crocodile’s Unexpected Inclusion
Princess Otohime's speech unleashed a stir that swept all seas, but the external impact paled in comparison to what it caused in the Round Table Council Room.
No surprises, under the direct influence of Princess Otohime, all the kings immediately signed the 'Declaration of Equality and Friendship between Humans and the Fishman Races'. And in the next session, the 'Total Prohibition of the Slave Trade and the Total Liberation of Slaves in the World' was unanimously approved.
This was the fearsome power of the 'Spiritual King'. As long as the Princess spoke sincerely and the listeners were close enough to her to hear her completely without being able to resist her spirit and will, regardless of her previous beliefs, they would completely accept her ideas.
The unanimous approval of the resolution, combined with the live broadcast, had a shocking effect.
Especially in the kingdoms of the fifty kings, the nobles and internal officials immediately freed the slaves by removing their explosive collars. They were also moved by the speech. Even if they did not change their convictions and ideas, they were moved at that moment.
The world government designated that day as "Liberation Day", establishing it as a holiday in all affiliated nations.
After the Levely, Princess Otohime returned to Fishman Island, protected by CP7 agents and treated by Drum Kingdom doctors due to her fragile health.
King Neptune was very confused by this situation. He didn't believe that just one speech required so much attention. But in the end he could only accept the situation since the World Government did not give them a choice and only informed them about it.
This is because Imu did not allow Princess Otohime to be informed about her Advanced Kenbunshoku Haki, as she might believe that the World Government was using it. Which could cause her ability to not work properly.

Dusk was approaching, the sky was darkening, and the flames of twilight were gathering, covering half the horizon. Although night had not completely fallen, the moon was already shining overhead, observing everything from above.
