Chapter 200: Advice

Chapter 200: Advice

Buggy then tells Otohime what he thinks she should do. Although his advice isn't just for Otohime but also for Neptune & Ryugu Kingdom. After all, it will affect the whole Kingdom and maybe the world.

First, they need to gather information from the outside world. Their information is very limited because access to the outside world is difficult. So they need to upgrade their information gathering and Buggy tells them to use Shakky's service.

She will do it as long as they pay and money is not a problem for them as a Kingdom. Both Neptune & Otohime agree because Shakky is Rayleigh's wife. Neptune knows Rayleigh and trusts him, so he also trusts Shakky.

Those pieces of information also need to be shared with their citizens so that they can learn more about the world too. But of course, not all information can be shared, they need to choose what should be known by the public.

"Without the proper knowledge, your people will keep hating humans. Everyone fears the unknown, so if they know more about humans, their hatred should reduce a bit," says Buggy.

Second, they need to gain allies, be they other Nations or important figures. Without strong allies, they will just become vulnerable after they can go to the surface. The allies can also help them improve their International Relations.

Buggy tells them to try gaining allies in Levely that being held every 4 years. It's their best chance because they will meet with many Nations' rulers. But they also need to be careful of those people and also the Celestial Dragons.

"Just like what I've said before, everyone fears the unknown. It applies to humans too who don't really know about Fishmen. You need your allies' help to make the world know more about you. Well, try to make it looks good so people won't be afraid of you. Do it step by step, slowly, don't rush this," says Buggy.

Third, Buggy advises them to ask for Whitebeard Pirates' protection. It will eventually happen, but Buggy wants to hasten it. With Whitebeard's protection, the capture of Fishmen will reduce significantly because pirates will be afraid of Whitebeard.

Other than protection, Buggy tells Neptune to ask Whitebeard to remove the Road Poneglyph from this Kingdom. When the pirates know the importance of the Road Poneglyph, they will try to get it and it will cause a big problem, so it's better to move it somewhere else.

Besides they still have the Rio Poneglyph that contains the message from Joyboy. So it should be more important for their Kingdom than the Road Poneglyph that only shows the clue to reach the last island.

Fourth, they need to strengthen their troops and increase their security. In Buggy's eyes, this Kingdom's force is too weak, very contrast with the fact that Fishmen are 10 times stronger than humans. But that 10 times will be useless if they don't train and get stronger like humans.

If the Fishmen can still be stronger than humans without any effort, then the strongest man in the world should be one of them, not Whitebeard. But right now, those who stand on top in terms of power are mostly humans. It's because humans keep trying to get stronger. After all, they were weak.

"I don't know her name, but I'm sure I've seen her before. Ah! She was the mermaid that we met on Sabaody. Deon saved her from some slave traders but then she ran away quickly because she was too afraid. A Clownfish Mermaid, it must be her," says Buggy as he recalls what happened on Sabaody before he met Shanks.

The others nod in understanding before looking at Deon & the mermaid. It seems she has taken a liking to him. Or maybe she just wants to show her gratitude because he saved her by treating him something although that doesn't seem to be the case.

Anyway, it's better not to disturb them, so they leave and resume their exploration. Dela is very excited to see many new fashion styles. The styles here are quite different because Fishmen & humans are different in physique and also preferences.

The group also buys many clothes with local styles for their crew. Dela has everyone's sizes in her book so she can choose the perfect clothes for them. Luckily clothes don't cost too much, so Buggy allows her to spend some money on them.

Then when they walk around, they find something interesting. Many people are gathering in an open space and they all are cheering excitedly. Buggy checks it and finds out that it's an arm-wrestling competition.

He grins and says, "That looks interesting."
