Chapter 128: The Great Expert Discovered by Dragon!
Tesoro and Stella's Gala continued until eleven o'clock at night. Over these two hours, they performed more than ten songs, among which "Towards the Light," "Believe," "With Me Here," "Memories," and "Brand New World" became instant hits as New Songs.
Originally, a certain big shot behind the scenes wanted to bring out all those classic Opening Theme Songs for everyone to enjoy at once, but after secretly pondering, they realized some Lyrics couldn't be used.
For example, "Wanted," "Jungle P," and even the most classic "We Are" wouldn't work. Just look at what the Lyrics say.
The first three lines are 'Gather all your Dreams,' 'Let's go find the treasure,' and 'ONE PIECE.' This stuff is politically incorrect for the World Government.
Finally, Tesoro and Stella used the Marines' Military Song, "Guidance of the Sea," as the grand finale song to end the Gala!
For the Citizens of most Affiliated Countries, their Familiarity with this song is far higher than that song known as the Pirate Song, "Binks' Sake."
After all, for eight hundred years, it has been the Marines who have guarded Order in Various Places. Just like Koby in the future, boys and girls who Dream of joining the Marines would often gather to sing this Military Song.
The best choice originally should have been songs praising the World Government itself, but weren't there none?
However, although the Gala ended, the lively atmosphere on Sabaody Archipelago was not affected in the slightest. Instead, it became even more boisterous as tens of thousands of Kings, Nobility, Local Residents, Fish-Man Tribe, and Merfolk Tribe who had finished watching the Concert dispersed from the Soap Bubble Dome Venue.
Every Tavern and restaurant was already packed, and they had no choice but to set up tables and chairs outside. But even so, the allure of late-night snacks and Drink made the guests completely unconcerned.
But the most prosperous and lively place was still the "Sabaody Amusement Park" within the three connected GR Zones: GR32, GR33, and GR34!
"Ahhhhhh!"
"Hahahahahahaha..."
Children riding the Bubble Roller Coaster screamed freely while enjoying the speed, their excited faces flushed red.
On the other side, the Bubble Pirate Ship swung back and forth, up and down. Every time it swung to its highest point and then dropped back down, bursts of pressure-releasing shouts would ring out, attracting the attention of those around.
Those who disliked excitement and preferred a quieter time chose to ride the Bubble Ferris Wheel, either as a couple or a family of three, enjoying the prosperous night view of the entire amusement park together.
But what the Children liked most was the Bubble Carousel, while the Adults preferred watching the Smiles on the Children's faces, themselves also showing happy Smiles.
"This is paradise..."
Queen Otohime looked at everything around her with tears in her eyes. She was so greedy, wanting to take in every single detail and remember it in her Heart.
In her eyes, the Screen Feed of Fish-Man Tribe Children and Human Children playing hand-in-hand on the carousel, sharing the same Cotton Candy, laughing and chatting together, was so beautiful, it felt like living in a wonderful Dream.
"Yes, the World Government this time has truly earned my utmost admiration!" King Neptune nodded, expressing his heartfelt emotion.
Look around, Fish-men and Humans, filled with curiosity about each other, sat at the same table, clinking glasses and enjoying drinks together. They talked about the songs from the Gala, about today's Reverie, and also about the little things from their respective Hometowns.
Of course, the Mermaids wearing Bubble Swim Rings around their waists, with their beautiful appearance and the halo brought by fairy tales, each became a focal point, surrounded by a large number of Human males.
But they were very enthusiastic, without any shyness, openly chatting and laughing with the people around them, occasionally introducing a little about Mermaids and Fish-Man Island.
In such a joyful atmosphere, Humans, Fish-men, and Mermaids began to understand and Familiarize themselves with each other. Even if occasional Conflicts arose, they would be reprimanded by the arriving Sea King Army and Marines, and then both sides would lower their heads and continuously apologize.
These various details were naturally seen by King Neptune and Queen Otohime beside him, which warmed their Hearts.
Although this was just the beginning, Sabaody Archipelago had indeed gotten off to a good start this time!
"Your Majesty, I want to work hard in the Propaganda Department. I want the Screen Feed from here to appear in more Places. I want to contribute more Strength to such a beautiful future!"
Queen Otohime raised her head and looked at King Neptune with determination.
The latter nodded after hearing this and smiled: "Good, I support you. Although the World Government's Haki hasn't changed at all, they are indeed making the entire World more beautiful!"
At this moment, this King of Fish-Man Island no longer dwelled on the Poneglyph that was taken away.
If his ancestors were to blame him when he reached the Land of the Yellow Springs.
Then he would apologize.
Compared to the past, the present and future of Fish-Man Island are the most important...
Areas GR60 to GR69 are where the Marine Branch, Government Department, and Sea King Army Base are located. Rules strictly prohibit unauthorized personnel from approaching.
It was usually a very quiet, solemn, and dignified place, but at this moment, it was a scene of busy activity. Marines, Men in Black, or Fish-Man Soldiers were constantly going in and out.
"How is the Situation now?"
In the Office, Dragon, wearing a Coat of Justice and a Green Suit, asked Rear Admiral Aven who had just walked in. The latter sat down on a chair with a helpless look on his face.
"There are too many people on the Island, and with many people drinking, arguments are unavoidable. There are also some with ill intentions who take advantage of the crowd to steal, trick, and abduct. There are also some who can't find their Children. Anyway, there are all sorts of Situations. If it weren't for the Sea King Army helping, our manpower would have been insufficient long ago."
"There should be Conflicts between Humans, Fish-men, and Mermaids, right? How are they being resolved?"
"We're handling it according to what we and the Sea King Army agreed upon. Regardless of who it is, the first person to verbally abuse gets two days in detention, the first person to physically assault gets five days, stealing gets ten days, and those with serious offenses are all arrested and sent to Enies Lobby for trial!"
"Have any Slave Traders trying to abduct people appeared?" Dragon asked.
"Not yet, but we've caught a few Pirates with Bounties of ten to twenty million," Rear Admiral Aven said with a Smile.
"Okay, tell the Warships and Sea King Army outside the Island not to be careless. No matter what Situation arises on the Island, as long as they are prevented from escaping by sea, it can be resolved!"
"Yes!"
After Rear Admiral Aven left the Office, Dragon closed his eyes and used his Observation Haki Ability. Since his Hurricane Fruit Awakened, he found that his Mental Fluctuation could spread out with the Wind.
Although he couldn't hear any sounds, he could indeed sense the movement and Aura of every object. Every wisp of clear Wind was like an invisible tentacle outlining contours in his mind.
As for Aura, that's the basic Effect of Observation Haki.
This means that at this moment, he could monitor the actions of every single person on the entire Sabaody Archipelago through the constantly changing contours. The Information Volume was a bit large, so his main focus was on the outer Edge of the Island. This way, no matter who wanted to leave the Island, they would definitely be discovered.
"Hmm?"
Suddenly, Dragon noticed someone who was standing alone at the Edge of Area GR53, his head tilted up as if looking at the night sky.
The reason he noticed him was, firstly, because it was strange for him to stand alone in an empty corner in such a lively atmosphere, and secondly, the Aura emanating from this person was very Strong.
This is definitely a Great Expert!

Recently, the popularity of this Book is increasing, and more and more people are reading it. I believe everyone has noticed, but this also makes it more difficult to satisfy everyone.
Some Readers have Opinions and choose to leave, while new Readers find it good and are willing to support. People come and go, and Little Author sees it with a complicated Heart.
I know this is a very normal Matter, after all, it's impossible to satisfy everyone until the end. But I think what I can do is maintain my original Heart and write step by step according to my own ideas. In this process, if there are good Opinions, I can accept and adjust, but if they are indeed unsuitable, I can only choose to stick to my own ideas and Style.
Here, I especially thank the Readers who have been Subscribing until now but chose to leave. Thank you for your encouragement and support before.
To those new Readers who have also Subscribed to this point, Little Author just wants to say, hope everyone can accompany this Book to the end.
What kind of behemoth will the World Government ultimately become? Will Im ultimately become truly...
