SWNOVELXO Chapter 516: Chapter 30. Someone Bullied Me
[V3] - Chapter 30. Someone Bullied Me
---
The operations across the East Blue and the first half of the Grand Line had already stabilized.
Network coverage was also continuously expanding. It was believed that in a while… food ordering and delivery across the seas would become much more convenient. That would be the true beginning of the golden age of food delivery!
Of course, for now, Yuto Group's main focus remained on occupying the market and expanding it, while also improving the delivery routes with Nami's cooperation.
Though the girl often grumbled things like "liar, heartless, damn it!", her capability was unquestionable.
At present, most of the food delivery routes across the East Blue and Grand Line were developed by her, greatly reducing the danger for delivery workers crossing the sea.
Because in this vast ocean…
Cross-sea delivery is an extremely high-risk job!
It's not something just anyone can do!
Meanwhile, the market on Fish-Man Island had also been successfully secured during this time.
Though initially, due to the incident involving the Arlong Pirates reaching Fish-Man Island, the fish-men over there became even more resistant to cooperating with Yuto Group.
Don't be fooled—though Arlong was a despicable figure who only bullied small towns, he was once a close follower of Fisher Tiger, considered the left and right arm of the legendary Fish-Man heroes along with Jinbe.
He was deeply revered by the fish-men of Fish-Man Island!
And yet, Yuto Group had sent this "spiritual idol" to a Marine prison. How could Fish-Man Island possibly agree to cooperate after that?
Not to mention… due to the tragic history of Fisher Tiger and Queen Otohime, the fish-men were already extremely resentful of humans—except for Whitebeard's crew. On top of that, an ambitious fish-man named Hody Jones frequently stirred up hatred toward humans, spreading anti-human propaganda nonstop. So, under these circumstances, King Neptune had no choice but to call and decline the proposal.
After thinking things through...
In the end.
Yuto personally made a trip to Fish-Man Island. Through rational persuasion, he helped every member of the Sun Pirates truly understand that only by cooperating with Yuto Group could the fish-men have a future.
Otherwise… even with Whitebeard's protection, the fish-men would still be doomed!
Upon realizing that their previous refusal had almost led to the loss of cooperation between Yuto Group and Fish-Man Island, Jinbe, the Captain of the Sun Pirates, deeply reflected on his actions while lying in bed. He pledged that he and his crew would no longer obstruct Yuto Group's activities on the island.
Of course, as an honest, kind-hearted businessman who inherited the Will of Fire, Yuto knew well that gaining the Sun Pirates' approval wasn't enough. Only by earning the trust of the entire Fish-Man Island could a true win-win partnership be achieved.
So, while at it, he also made a trip to the Fish-Man District, beat some sense into the local hooligan fish-men, and made them realize that being lazy bums had no future. Only by following the Yuto Group and working hard with their own hands and feet could they earn real wealth and achieve a happy life.
That's right.
They realized it!
They dropped to their knees, buried their heads in the ground, and cried bitterly, expressing to the Boss of Yuto Group their determination to work hard and no longer live as freeloaders.
After seeing their genuine repentance, Yuto gave them another chance. He then helped uncover the truth about Queen Otohime's death and exposed Hody Jones's ambitions, helping all the fish-men understand that following Hody Jones would only lead to death. He also dealt with the perverted Fish-Man Vander Decken IX, granted his niece Shirahoshi her freedom, and earned the trust of the Ryugu Kingdom.
Yuto even became King Neptune's sworn brother and was hailed as the new hero of Fish-Man Island.
And so, with his help…
The entire island of fish-men was reborn, abandoning old prejudices and choosing to walk hand-in-hand with Yuto Group toward a new future!
Now—
Fish-Man Island was undergoing new development. It wouldn't be long before pirates from all over the seas visiting the island would be able to sip on a warm cup of Yuto milk tea.
It's truly a cause for celebration—what joyous news!
He had just returned from Fish-Man Island that morning. After all, the East Blue and the first half of the Grand Line still needed him to hold things down, so he couldn't leave just yet.
As for Robin… she was arranged to stay on Fish-Man Island to handle some affairs and, by the way, take care of the children.
There is no helping it.
The three little cuties had received an invitation from Princess Shirahoshi and were currently playing on Fish-Man Island and didn't even want their father anymore.
Of course, he also agreed to let Comrade Bin-chan take some time to study her hobbies whenever she had free time.
Therefore, the Yuto Group could be considered to have established a foothold in the first half of the Grand Line. Although only the main sea areas of the East Blue and the first half of the Grand Line had been secured, he believed that with time, the Yuto Group would eventually conquer the entire sea—and he would eventually upgrade, too.
During this time… Senju Tobirama also came back for a bit.
After matters in the East Blue were settled, Tobirama didn't choose to return with the main group. Instead, he set off alone on a prepared ship to begin his journey to find his idiotic older brother.
He hadn't forgotten the reason he came here!
And there was finally some news about Senju Hashirama and Uchiha Madara… No wonder there had been no word from those two clowns for so long—they had gone to Skypiea!
However, by the time Tobirama reached Skypiea, the two had already left.
According to Tobirama, Hashirama and Madara seemed to have stirred up quite a commotion on Skypiea.
They even beat up the god of Skypiea and were now hailed as heroes of the Sky Island.
It seemed that after some time traveling, both Madara and Hashirama had grown stronger. No one knew what had happened to Enel afterward.
Was he still alive?
Ever since the exposure of the so-called "gods" of the ninja world, a lot of god-haters had emerged.
As soon as they heard the word "god," they'd immediately get angry, irritable, and aggressive, like they had rabies—one wrong word and they'd start throwing punches.
Among them, Uchiha Obito, Uzumaki Nagato, and Uchiha Madara were the most extreme—serious cases!
If Enel had dared to start babbling about "gods" in front of Madara and Hashirama… he might've already been buried alive by Madara!
Of course, no one knew where those two went after they came down from Skypiea. In any case, a few days later, Tobirama set sail again, continuing on his journey to find his dear "Onii-chan."
As for Skypiea… since the issues up there had already been resolved, Yuto casually arranged for someone to start developing the market.
It was believed that in the near future… once the network was connected, people from Skypiea would also be able to chat online with people below—just like the Otsutsuki clan on the moon and the ninja world!
Yuto nodded, and after confirming everything was fine, casually put down the documents in his hand and stretched lazily.
Judging that it was about time to head to Fish-Man Island and bring the kids back—
Suddenly.
The phone rang.
Yuto was a little surprised. When he saw it was Robin's number, he answered right away.
However—
Just as he was about to ask what the matter was—
A soft, teary little voice of Yumi came from the other end, full of grievance: "Dad, Dad~! Someone bullied me!"
