One Piece: Shanks' Little Jasmine

Chapter 68 Otohime's Monologue 2

My efforts have been recognized; five people have already agreed with my ideas. I'll keep going and try to get ten people tomorrow. ?( 'w' )?

I'm so tired today, but I can't give up. I want everyone on Fishman Island to be able to live under the real sun. The children of Fishman Island shouldn't have to live in the hatred of the past anymore. They should have the right to pursue their own path instead of being trapped at the bottom of the sea and always afraid of the land. We are also part of the world, and we also have the right to live on land.

The death knell tolled on Fishman Island. The kind old king who was so good to everyone had passed away. How could this be? Such a gentle king should have lived to be a hundred years old.

The successor to the king has been decided. The little rascal has become the bravest knight on Fishman Island. He is now highly respected by many people on Fishman Island and has successfully succeeded the old king. Although I do not object to him becoming king, he always interrupts my speeches, which is really annoying.

That jerk with the explosive temper bothered me again today, I'm so angry! He said something bad happened today and told me to go home early. I think he just doesn't want me to keep talking about what's bothering him. Humph, go home if you want? I'm not going home, I'm going to the Sea Forest, let's see what you can do to me then. ?(?`^′?)?

Oh my god, what am I seeing? Where did this sea sprite come from? Did she sneak out from beside the Sea God? What is she looking for? Oh my, she's so cute, I want to hug her! ?*?(??*?????)*?

The little cutie said her name is Moko, and she wants to find coral to give to her family. Hmm, I get it, I get it, she definitely wants to give it to the Sea God. She's so adorable! I wish my future daughter could be as cute as Moko. (???)

Wait, the person behind me looks like Roger and his group. Why are they secretly following us? Hmm?! That explosive-headed guy is here too! He actually tracked us all the way here! How infuriating! ???

What?! Little Moko is Roger's daughter?! Roger can actually have such a beautiful daughter, waaaaah, I'm so envious! Little Moko must have inherited the Sea God's good looks, ahhh, I want a beautiful daughter too! ＼(`Δ')／

I knew it! Roger, that idiot, really didn't remember who I was. It's only been fifteen years since we last met, and Rayleigh still remembers me, but he forgot me so quickly. Waaah, Xiao Mo definitely can't be as stupid as Roger!

Huh? Why is that Explosive Radish Head staring at me? Why is he blushing again? Wait, no way, no way, it can't be what I'm thinking, right? Impossible, impossible, he's clearly annoyed that my daily speeches are bothering him while he's managing Fishman Island. Humph, I won't fall for it.

The coral that Xiao Mo can choose is Nora! Xiao Mo has such good taste. This is the coral that the first mermaid princess of Fishman Island brought from the land, but very few people can resonate with it.

Why is that red-haired boy staring at Moko? Wait, he seemed to blush just now... Wow, is this their childhood sweetheart? He must be Moko's guardian knight; they're such a perfect match! (??w??)

Xiao Moko even gave me coral! This is just too cute! I've decided, I'm going to love Xiao Moko forever!! (づ wど)

My dear little Moko, may the blessings of the Sea God always be with you, and may you be happy, peaceful, and carefree.

Roger, that idiot, finally recognized me! Rayleigh had to remind him. Ugh, Roger's so dense, what will happen to my lovely little Momo? (′д｀ )…彡

Roger is Roger after all; the first thing he does upon returning is throw a banquet. But wasn't this wine supposed to be non-intoxicating? How come I'm already dizzy after only half a glass? And how come there are three Little Mokos now? Wow, so many cute Little Mokos! Hehe, Little Moko, let me tell you something…

Ugh, I'm so sleepy, so sleepy, I want to go to sleep... Huh? It feels like someone is touching my head, is it my mother coming back? It feels so warm.

Mother, I miss you...

Waaah, Xiao Mo is leaving already! How long have you been here? You stinky Roger, why are you in such a hurry? I haven't even taken Xiao Mo to see the miracles of the Sea God yet! Humph, fine, I'll reluctantly forgive this idiot for Xiao Mo's sake. Besides, you promised Mo you would fulfill your dream.

Another day of missing Moko. Sigh. Come on, Otohime, you can do it! By the time Moko comes back next time, Fishman Island might have already moved to the sea. Then you can go play on the sea with Moko.

What's up with this explosive little radish? Why is it following me? Roger and the others are gone. Oh well, as long as it doesn't bother me, I don't care.

The Exploding Radish Head is appearing more and more frequently. Where did it learn to be so annoying? It's so irritating.

My friend, Explosive Radish Head, actually made me a coral cake today. It was awful, but considering his frizzy hair had turned completely black, I decided not to tell him the truth.

Radish Head is even helping me prepare for the parade speech now. He says he wants to help me realize my ideals too. It's strange, but... actually, he seems like a pretty good person. o(*////—////*)q

Today, some extreme fishmen stormed the streets. Luckily, Radish Head was there, otherwise everyone would have been in danger.

Radish Head seems to be getting more and more handsome lately, mmm (shakes head vigorously), it's just my imagination, it must be my imagination.

Radish Head actually proposed to me!! I almost said yes, Otohime, you can't fall for him, hold on!

Who proposes to me every day? It's so annoying! It's just marriage, I'll say yes. But don't bother me every day next time.

Why is Neptune even more clingy after getting married? Do other people know that their King Neptune is this clingy?

Oh dear, it's just being pregnant, there's no need to be so delicate. Neptune is being too nervous. I'm very strong, okay?

Shark Star was born. This is my first child. It's a pity it's not a daughter. I wish it were a daughter as cute as Xiao Moke. How is Xiao Moke doing now?

Children need to be nurtured from a young age. We need to let Shark Star train with Neptune a lot so that when he grows up, he can protect his sister Moko. When will my lovely little Moko come back?

Roger actually completed his round-the-world trip! That's great! Little Moko will definitely be back soon. Oh no, I need to prepare more gifts. Little Moko will definitely like the super-sized pink pearl I found in the Sea Forest last time. Right, I need to let Shark Star and Little Moko see it. That silly boy Shark Star will definitely like Little Moko too.

Why did only Roger and Xiao Mo come back? Where are the others? Why is Xiao Mo so sad?

Roger has a terminal illness?! What?! How could that be? How could someone as strong as Roger get a terminal illness? What will happen to Xiao Mo? Will Xiao Mo be all alone from now on?

He said he'd take Xiao Moke to a safe place. If Xiao Moke hadn't refused to stay, she'd be safest with me. I would protect her for life. Roger, that bastard, took Xiao Moke away, then died, leaving her alone in that so-called safe place? Idiot, idiot, idiot…

I promised Xiaomoke that I would definitely let Fishman Island go to the sea next time we meet. I have to work hard.

……

Today, let's tell the children the story of the sun and the forest. Little Moko left behind many strange little things on land, which the children will surely love.

That's great! More and more people on Fishman Island are no longer so hostile to land people. My efforts are paying off. With a little more effort, we can definitely achieve it.

Roger is here again. Where's Xiao Moke? Where's Xiao Moke? Why did you come alone?

Are you kidding me?! Going to Marine Headquarters? Has Roger lost his mind? The Navy is after him all over the world, and he actually goes to walk right into their trap! He actually dares to leave Momoko all alone!

What responsibility, what future... Bastard, is it really so important that I can abandon my family? He even said it's as important as my ideals, how despicable...

Roger, you bastard! How am I supposed to comfort Moko? You hid her away, leaving her and your pregnant wife alone to face this world that's almost entirely filled with enemies. How are they supposed to survive?! What am I going to do with my lovely Moko now?

The second and third children were born one after another, and they all went to learn skills from their older brother, otherwise how would they protect their sister Moko in the future? My lovely little Moko should be the happiest and most carefree little princess.

My God, I want a sweet and soft daughter like Moke! These three brats are so naughty, always climbing on the roof and tearing off the tiles. Neptune is really something, he doesn't even know how to control them. If I had a daughter like Moke, she definitely wouldn't be like them.

Did the Sea God really hear my prayer?! I really have a daughter now! She's so cute, so cute! And she doesn't have an afro; she has beautiful pink hair just like Moko. My darling, from now on you'll be called White Star. You'll be the brightest star in the sky, my precious little star. Oh, and your sister Moko is also very beautiful, just like the snow-white fairy Jasmine. She'll definitely love Little Star too.

What a load of nonsense prophecy! I don't care about any world weapons or anything like that. Shirahoshi is my most precious little star, and no one can take her away, not even the Sea Kings!

Bai Xing is getting cuter and cuter, she truly is my daughter. Xiao Mo Ke must be even more beautiful now. When can we see each other again, my lovely Xiao Mo Ke?

Roger left for fifteen years before returning, and now it's almost been fifteen years again... Little Moko must have grown up by now, right? Little Moko, how are you doing?

Little Moko probably won't be able to see the Sea God's miracle this year, but Bai Xing is still so popular with the little fish. Just like Little Moko, they are both children who are loved by the Sea God.

Wait, that child is Xiao Moke! Xiao Moke has grown up and become even more beautiful, but why is her smile so bitter? My lovely little sea sprite, don't cry, don't cry.

Roger, you idiot! I won't be angry with you anymore, considering all you've done for Moko. But I never thought that the little red-haired knight would actually become Moko's guardian knight. Guardian knight, you have to protect Moko well, otherwise, I'll have to send my three brats to take over. My lovely Moko deserves the best.

Little Moko really likes Shirahoshi, and Shirahoshi seems to like Little Moko too. Two adorable little darlings! Sweet and soft girls are definitely more pleasing to the eye. Thank you, Sea God, for your blessing! (。????.)

Xiao Mo has to go see her guardian knight first. Sure enough, my daughter is going to be kidnapped when she grows up. I need to strengthen security next time. I can't let my little Xingxing be kidnapped too. If you want to take little Xingxing away, you'll have to beat her three older brothers first. Hmm~ those three naughty boys need more training.

Little Moko is about to leave. I watched her leave like this last time, and I'm even more reluctant to part with her now. My lovely little Moko, may the Sea God protect you and give you a safe journey.

The Celestial Dragons' ship crash-landed? ...The hatred should end. The future of Fishman Island, and those children, everyone should live on the sea, see the real sun and stars, and find their own true freedom.

That's great! I never thought we could actually get the contract for a friendly relationship. Now, as long as everyone signs, we can all go freely to the sea. When Xiaomo comes back, I must tell her this good news.

What?! Tiger is dead?! How could this be?! What happened?!

Everyone on Fishman Island is an idiot! Tiger is working hard for the future of Fishman Island, why can't they understand? Why do they imprison the children in this dark seabed forever? Why can't they think more about the children's future? Idiots...

Everyone's acting so strangely. Why did they suddenly agree to sign?

Wait, am I dying? My body feels numb. My little star, don't cry, it breaks my heart. Neptune, why do you look so sad? This isn't like you...

What a pity! I still have so many things to do. I haven't been to Fishman Island yet, Little Star hasn't grown up, and I haven't seen the miracle of the sea god with Little Mo. It's such a shame...

I'm sorry, I broke my promise, my lovely little Moko. From now on, let the little stars stay with you in my place. My lovely little Moko, may the Sea God's blessings protect you forever, and may your future be filled with happiness, peace, and smooth sailing...
