"Let's go back."
Otohi took a deep breath, her gaze looking far ahead toward the Fish-Man District, and suddenly said this.
They were currently still at the entrance of the Fish-Man District. Ahead, many fish-n had already gathered.
"You're not going to keep moving forward?", Rosse stood side by side with Otohi, looking toward the Fish-Man District not far away.
This ti Otohi ca, not just to hear the cries of the fish-n.
He understood from the beginning that Otohi ca to investigate the incident of her capture.
As for this, he truly didn't care.
This matter, no matter how one investigated, would never reach him.
At the ti Otohi was sent by Moria, he was more surprised than anyone.
According to his original plan, it was only after arriving at Fish-Man Island that he would slowly make contact with Otohi.
Who would have thought, plans can't keep up with changes.
Before he even reached Fish-Man Island, Otohi had already delivered herself to his doorstep.
"It's no longer important," Otohi smiled, gently shook her head, and resolutely turned around.
It really was no longer important.
In investigating her own capture, she had two questions she wanted answers to.
One was, she wanted to trust Rosse with all her heart, with no reservations, without any inner knots.
The other was, she wanted to know why that Fish-Man did such a thing.
And along this journey, both of those answers had already reached their conclusions.
Rosse clearly knew her goal, yet did not interfere at all, this was already enough.
Her test of trust had never been to investigate this matter.
Rather, as long as Rosse displayed a heart that didn't mind, to her, that was already sufficient.
Even without relying on the special ability of Observation Haki, Otohi could see clearly Rosse's attitude.
If she couldn't even perceive that, then he would be too incompetent.
As for the other matter, she had already gotten the answer she wanted from Tiger's response and from the gazes of other fish-n in the Fish-Man District.
From the beginning, there was no such thing as friendliness between fish-n and rmaids.
Moreover, the current state of the fish-n was caused by the rmaids.
Then, what right did she have to harshly bla the fish-n of the Fish-Man District?
From beginning to end, they were only trying to survive.
It's just that, they grew into what no one wanted to see.
But in the end, Otohi and Rosse still didn't manage to leave as they had hoped.
A rmaid who looked so wealthy coming to the Fish-Man District, if they didn't clean her out, that would be looking down on them too much.
While Rosse and Otohi were lingering, hundreds of fish-n had already gathered.
"How do we deal with this?", Rosse looked at Otohi with a smile, waiting for her final decision.
According to his temperant, of course, it would be to kill them all.
And with Otohi's previous personality, perhaps she'd show so compassion.
But Rosse had a feeling that the current Otohi might just surprise him.
"Stop all actions!"
Otohi swept her gaze across the fish-n, and issued a rare voice of authority.
Clearly not a loud voice, but it held great intimidation.
In an instant, the fish-n subconsciously lowered their weapons, their expressions showing confusion.
'Amazing, she used Observation Haki with the effect of Conqueror's Haki.'
Rosse raised his brows and let out a sigh of admiration.
Otohi's special ability was to sense others' emotions, and with her own emotions, influence others.
To put it simply: mind reading brainwashing.
If Otohi also had Conqueror's Haki, then even without a Devil Fruit, she would absolutely be a mass-killing weapon.
"Judge your hearts!"
Otohi continued to softly whisper, yet her voice was like a divine proclamation.
"Thieves, guilty!"
"Murderers, guilty!"
"Ra*ists, guilty!"
"Bullies, guilty!"
"..."
With Otohi's words, the fish-n all lowered their heads, their faces filled with regret.
As if… they were truly guilty.
Otohi glanced around, saw all the fish-n had lowered their heads, and silently sighed in her heart.
As expected, those who could co to the entrance to block them, should not be hoped for in any way.
"The guilty! Judge yourselves!"
Otohi's voice was like a god delivering judgnt.
As her voice fell, Rosse saw all the fish-n one by one take their weapons and stab them into their own necks.
In an instant, blood covered the entire Fish-Man District.
And after doing all this, Otohi's body went limp and fell into Rosse's arms.
"Mm…"
Otohi shyly lowered her head.
She had looked so cool just now, and now she looked just as miserable.
"I an, couldn't you have let do it? Why be so headstrong?", Rosse shook his head. With Otohi's body, doing this much was already her limit.
If a few more people had co, not only would she not have been able to make them commit suicide, she herself would have collapsed first.
"This is sothing I need to do, a hurdle I must cross on my own," Otohi leaned into Rosse's chest and let out a faint sigh.
"Alright then, this is the transformation of your spirit. From today onward, should I congratulate myself on gaining a brand-new rmaid queen?", Rosse joked.
"Saying it like that… doesn't seem wrong either," Otohi tilted her head, smiling as she played along with Rosse.
She didn't know if this change of hers was good or bad.
But since pure kindness couldn't achieve her dream, then she would shape herself into what was needed.
For this, she had already been prepared long ago.
"So what now? Wait for the concubine selection in two days, or go directly to Ryugu Kingdom to find Neptune?", Rosse asked with a smile.
Toward Otohi's change, Rosse was of course especially happy.
Otohi was now becoming the person he wanted her to be.
As for whether she still wanted to persist in her ideals, that wasn't sothing he cared about.
Rosse never stopped dream-chasers.
If they could travel together, they would both win.
If they couldn't, then he'd send them off on their final journey.
And Otohi's dream of racial coexistence did not conflict with his pursuit.
It wasn't like he was so kind of racial supremacist.
Rosse had always followed just one belief:
Beneath the self, all beings are equal.
He looked down equally upon all races. He was a pure classist.
"I have a feeling, the concubine selection two days from now won't be so simple. I know Neptune, and I understand how the Ryugu Kingdom operates. There shouldn't be such a selection," Otohi shook her head.
Her gaze turned to Rosse, as if to confirm sothing.
With her understanding of Rosse, before coming to Fish-Man Island, he must have made full preparations.
"If I said that this concubine selection is a conspiracy against rmaids, what would you do?", Rosse smiled.
"A conspiracy? A conspiracy I can know about?", Otohi lightly furrowed her brows, her gaze locking onto Rosse.
She knew Rosse must know sothing, but she was also hesitating.
So things, since Rosse hadn't told her from the start, ant that this matter involved sothing very far-reaching.
A small mistake, and it could lead to major problems.
"Saint Rosward, do you still rember him?", Rosse said with a smile.
"I rember, the Celestial Dragon who ca to Fish-Man Island with us on the sa ship."
Otohi suddenly thought of sothing, and quickly lifted her head, looking at Rosse in surprise:
"Don't tell ?"
"As you guessed, this concubine selection isn't for Neptune to pick a concubine, but for Saint Rosward to pick one."
Rosse smiled, his gaze falling on Otohi's face, "Now that you know this news, what will you choose to do?"
