For some reason, the moment Queen Otohime spoke, the previously quiet meeting hall became even more tranquil, and the kings seemed to relax.

Meanwhile, the thousands of people watching the live stream gradually quieted down, ceasing their noise and discussions, and silently watched Queen Otohime on the screen.

Finally, the whole world was ready to listen to the speech.

"We were once classified as 'fish' by humans and suffered a great deal of discrimination."

"Until the great World Government granted us Fish-Man Island the honor of becoming Affiliated Nation and participating in the Reverie two hundred years ago."

"From then on, we thought we could speak on equal terms with the most outstanding human kings, and we thought we had finally established friendly relations with humanity."

"However, two hundred years later, we must face the tragic objective fact that the Fish-Man Race have not yet achieved freedom, respect, and equality."

"Two hundred years later, under the shackles of apartheid and the chains of racial discrimination, the lives of the Fish-Man Race are severely threatened."

"Two hundred years later, the Fish-Man Race still live on a remote island ten thousand meters below the surface of the ocean, shriveled up in a corner of the world's oceans."

"Today we gather once again with all the kings, for the great World Government has once again taken notice of the Fish-Man Race, shining a Lighthouse of light that brings a second hope to us who have longed for freedom, sunlight, and forests for centuries!"

It noted that the Fish-Man Race still suffer from barbaric persecution, capture, and trafficking that are beyond description by humans.

It noticed that the Fish-Man Race, exhausted from their outdoor activities, could not find lodging in any human inn.

"It noticed that the Fish-Man Race's basic area of activity was limited to the small Fish-Man Island, and they couldn't even freely appear in the nearby Sabaody Archipelago."

"Therefore, the great World Government, once again with justice and fairness, surges forth like the waves of the sea, determined to wash away and shatter all the darkness in the world that has been directed against the Fish-Man Race."

"It brought us the <Communiqué on Establishing Equal and Friendly Relations between Humans and Merfolk, Fish-Man Race>!"

"It also brought this year's topic to slaves worldwide: <A complete ban on the slave trade and the complete liberation of world slaves>!"

"Their arrival is like a joyous dawn, soon to end the long, painful night for the Fish-Man and their slaves."

As her heartfelt speech unfolded, Queen Otohime became completely moved. Every tone of her voice, every gesture of her hand, and even every change in her expression was so captivating.

At this moment, the fifty kings, including King Neptune, all had a remarkably consistent look in their eyes, revealing either shame or approval, filled with apology.

They felt they could truly sense Queen Otohime's sincere emotions. At that moment, the strong resonance in their hearts, along with each sentence of her speech, transformed into Formless 'wave' that silently cleansed everyone's thoughts and consciousness.

Even those kings who were originally filled with racial prejudice were now having their values subtly influenced.

Even the people in various seas, kingdoms, and islands thousands of miles away were not as greatly affected psychologically.

Regardless of gender, age, social status, or race, everyone could genuinely feel Queen Otohime's compassion.

Many people were even moved to tears by the tragic plight of the Fish-Man Race.

The speech itself wasn't very long, and it quickly came to an end; or rather, the attentive listeners didn't notice the passage of time at all.

"Friends, today I want to tell you that although we face various difficulties and setbacks in the present and future, I still have a dream, a dream that is deeply rooted in the dreams of humankind and all races."

"I dream that one day, Fish-Man can truly stand tall in the world and live as equals with humans and all other races."

"I dream that one day, Fish-Man can sit at the same table as humans in any sea, any kingdom, any island, and share their friendship."

"I dream that one day the children of the Fish-Man will live in a kingdom where they will not be judged by their appearance but by the quality of their character."

"The biggest obstacle to these dreams is the slave trade, which was explicitly prohibited hundreds of years ago but is still ignored or even tacitly accepted around the world."

"Everyone, the World Government is a great World Government, and the World Government aims to make the entire world equally great."

"The World Government will fulfill all my dreams, so that the voice of freedom, carried by the winds of justice, may resound across the vast Four Seas, beneath the ocean depths, and in the sky above, echoing in every kingdom, every island, and even in the ears of every single person."

"Now, let this voice of freedom resound atop this Red Line, let this wind of justice blow across this sacred Holy Land!"

Queen Otohime truly poured all her passion, compassion, and sincerity into this speech, and used the highest stage of the Reverie to spread her influence to the widest possible extent!

Inside the treehouse Moon Chamber and the sky, Imu, like countless other people, listened to this momentous speech through the projection screen of the Projection Den Den Mushi.

"What powerful Observation Haki! This mental fluctuation is incredibly subtle; it's difficult for ordinary Observation Haki to detect its presence."

Using his precognitive advantage as a transmigrator, Imu knew that Queen Otohime was a natural-born advanced Awakened Beings Observation Haki.

Moreover, she possesses numerous special abilities; she can hear the inner voices of others, sense their thoughts and emotions, and convey her own consciousness to them through words and sounds.

She can also influence the minds and thoughts of others and create a strong resonance. When her emotions reach their peak, she can even change the values and consciousness of others.

But the premise is that every word she says is a genuine belief she holds; she can't just say whatever comes to mind.

What is this called?

Nuclear Weapons at the psychological level!

In the style of this world, he could be called the 'Spirit King'!

However, Imu could also sense that Queen Otohime's ability had a certain range limitation, or rather, the mental fluctuations she emitted were most effective within a hundred meters.

The emotional fluctuations contained in speeches delivered through Projection Den Den Mushi) or radio broadcasts are very subtle; they merely make people subconsciously willing to listen attentively to what she is saying and to somewhat experience the emotions within it.

However, this effect of influencing others' minds and consciousness is clearly of little use to those who possess the same Divine Power or unwavering will as her.

Even so, Imu believes that if used properly, it can have a miraculous effect, almost comparable to the Awakening ability of Devil Fruit!

This is why he made an exception and appointed Queen Otohime to give a world speech!

"As long as I can convince her that the World Government is just, all I need to do is spend some time arranging a speaking tour for her, and she will win the hearts of the people wherever she goes."

At this moment, Imu finally found the greatest value of Fish-Man Island, or rather, the Fish-Man Race: Queen Otohime herself!

"Oh, right, her future daughter, Princess Shirahoshi or Poseidon, I think?" Thinking of this, he picked up the receiver from the Den Den Mushi and dialed the number.

"Imu?"

"Immediately designate Queen Otohime as a top-level protection target in CIPHER POL. Instruct the Drum Kingdom's Medical Academy to send a team of doctors to Fish-Man Island to find ways to strengthen her fragile constitution and ensure her health. I don't want any accidents to happen to her in the future!"

Regarding the update schedule, I feel I should discuss this with all of you readers. As you all know, I currently post two chapters at midnight, and then update another chapter in the evening.

Actually, I shouldn't have done that, because it meant missing out on an opportunity for my work to be exposed. According to other authors, they should update one chapter at midnight, then another at noon, and then another in the evening.

However, considering everyone's reading experience, and with a website now recommending it, the young author has decided to persevere.

But it's difficult for me to post all three chapters at once, because that means I only have one chance to be exposed each day. Once the website stops recommending them and I'm completely exposed, I'll have to rely entirely on updating chapters to attract more readers.

So please be understanding. I understand that reading chapter by chapter is difficult, after all, I also read novels and am a reader. Also, please try not to skip ahead. Every chapter is the result of my hard work. I, as a humble author, can honestly say that not a single chapter has been intentionally padded out; every chapter is essential for the subsequent plot.

Thank you all for following along until now! bows Thank you so much!
