The Fish-Man Island incident officially came to an end.
The news of the death of Celestial Dragon Rosward was quickly spread by the merfolks present at the scene.
At the same time, the entire Fish-Man Island entered a state of martial law.
The CP organization, together with the fish-men from the Fish-Man District, completely blocked all the exits of Fish-Man Island.
Anyone who wanted to leave had to obtain certification from the Mermaid Kingdom or the World Government.
At the same time, news of the Buster Call also quickly spread among other inhabitants of Fish-Man Island through the departing merfolks.
The entire Fish-Man Island fell into a state of panic.
Fortunately, there was still a way out for them. Joining the Mermaid Kingdom founded by Otohime still gave them a chance to survive.
The fish-men and merfolks of Fish-Man Island didn't have too much resentment toward Rosse and Otohime.
This incident really had nothing much to do with Rosse and Otohime.
If there was someone to blame, it would be Neptune and the deceased Rosward.
If there hadn't been conflict between those two sides, they wouldn't have had to face the current situation.
After becoming citizens of the Mermaid Kingdom, they truly didn't need to worry about danger anymore, but they also had to leave Fish-Man Island within ten days.
There were even quite a few people who complained inwardly, thinking that Rosse and Otohime didn't help to the very end. Why couldn't they stop the World Government from launching the Buster Call?
Unfortunately, to become a citizen of the Mermaid Kingdom, they had to come to the location of Ryugu Kingdom, where dedicated personnel would handle the process.
And these days, Otohime was almost always at this location, unleashing her special ability to sense the emotions of the merfolks and fish-men.
"Why? Why is it that they can do it, but I can't become a citizen of the Mermaid Kingdom?", At the registration office, a male sea bass merman stood up angrily, glaring at the mermaid staff member.
"Next," The mermaid staffer couldn't even be bothered to respond to him, just beckoned toward the back.
Ten days, that was a very tight deadline.
Even after mobilizing 1,000 staffers, to process all five million people, each would still need to handle 5,000 individuals. That was no small number.
"If you don't explain clearly, I won't let you go," The sea bass merman was furious. Without identity certification, under the Buster Call there was absolutely no chance of survival.
"Don't waste everyone's time!", Jinbe's figure quickly appeared at the scene. With just a light grasp, he lifted the man and carried him away.
Situations like this had already happened too many times in these two days.
With Otohime present, whether someone harbored malice was just too obvious.
Otohime was willing to give everyone a chance to reform, but if they joined with malicious intent, she truly didn't want such people.
"Your Majesty the Queen, Madam Sora, Number 337 has been taken care of."
Not long after, Jinbe returned to Otohime's side. He first bowed to Otohime, then turned toward the elegant and noble Sora beside her and offered a respectful greeting again.
On the second day after the Fish-Man Island incident ended, Sora had already set aside her scientific research to come to Fish-Man Island.
Otherwise, with Otohime's body and mind, she really might not be able to handle such a huge workload.
"Jinbe, at Station 612, a squid Fish-Man is making trouble," Sora said.
"Yes!", Jinbe quickly left again, beginning another round of rushing around.
These days, such incidents had already occurred countless times.
Not only Jinbe, even most of the combat strength from the Fish-Man District had been deployed as security.
Five million people, even if 99.9% were good, the remaining 0.1% would still be 5,000 individuals.
At such a critical juncture, malicious incidents would certainly be numerous.
And after Jinbe left, Sora continued looking toward the equipment nearby.
They were now in a large office, temporarily remodeled from a palace.
The equipment resembled a few simple computers. The screens displayed the statuses of 1,000 staffers.
With current development, of course, things like the Internet were still far off.
Having even basic computers to use was thanks to Rosse integrating all kinds of odd, lopsided technologies to create a simple product.
As of now, it could only be used to store information.
Though it couldn't connect globally, by relying on certain special Devil Fruit abilities, they could still transmit basic messages within a certain range.
The device here was the mother unit, and each staffer had a sub-unit.
After the sub-unit recorded citizen information, it would transmit the data back to the mother unit.
Currently, Otohime's Observation Haki could also easily sense whether the arriving individuals harbored any malice.
If there were issues, Sora would record them down and either dispatch security to deal with it early, or send a rejection signal directly to the staffer during the registration process.
"Can you still hold on?", After crossing out entry number 337, Sora finally turned her head to look at Otohime.
Right now, Otohime's condition wasn't particularly good.
Two days of high-intensity use of Observation Haki was a heavy burden on her body.
"We've only done one million so far, I can still hold on," Otohime stubbornly shook her head. This was her responsibility to begin with. She couldn't give up.
Since she had decided to do it, she had to see it through to the end, only then would she live up to Rosse's trust.
"Want to try this? Otherwise, I'm really afraid you won't make it," Sora pulled out a test tube from her side bag. The liquid inside was clearly transparent, yet exuded an aura of vitality.
"What is this?", Otohime asked confusedly.
"Stella's essence fluid. It can rapidly restore stamina and mental energy, y'know~", Sora smiled, winking at Otohime.
"Ah?", Otohime's face instantly turned red, how could she possibly use something like this?
Also, why would Stella's essence fluid restore stamina and mental energy?
"It's really effective," Sora chuckled, "Stella is a Healing Fruit ability user. All bodily fluids she secretes have strong healing effects. From what I've found, her tears and essence fluid are the most effective."
"Then why does it have to be the essence fluid?", Otohime asked in shy annoyance.
If it were tears, she felt she wouldn't be so repulsed.
"Of course, because it's easier to collect."
Sora said helplessly. She couldn't make Stella cry every day, it wouldn't work.
But the essence fluid was different. With Rosse's ability, he could produce tons every time, it'd be a waste not to collect it.
Though... some strange liquids might get mixed in during the process, they didn't mind, but who knew if Otohime would.
"Do you want it or not?"
Sora shook the test tube in her hand, her voice full of temptation, "One dose is all it takes, you'll be back to full strength instantly~"
"Is it really as effective as you say?", Feeling the fatigue in her spirit, Otohime hesitated.
She truly couldn't hold on much longer.
Just screening one million people had already left her exhausted.
If this continued, she might really drop dead.
"Of course, I have no reason to lie to you," Sora said confidently.
She had used it herself and found it good, that's why she recommended it to Otohime.
If it were someone else, she wouldn't have given it.
"All right then, how do I use it?", Otohime hesitated for a moment, but finally agreed.
"Just drink it directly. Of course, intravenous injection works too, it's faster, but harsher on the body and easily addictive. Oral is better," Sora said considerately.
"Then I'll drink it," Otohime took the test tube, sniffed its complex aroma, hesitated slightly, but still tilted her head back and drank it all.
[T/N: Well, that was something I didn't have on my weird stuff list.]
