Neptune scanned the crowd, and finally, as if he had made up his mind, he revealed the secret that the royal family had buried for a long time: "The power that can command the sea kings."
These words also surprised everyone in the Straw Hats.
...
The three ancient weapons, in addition to the super battleship mentioned in Alabasta - Pluto, the king of the sea, and Poseidon, the king of the sea.
Mermaids and murlocs are magical races that can communicate with fish, but they cannot communicate with sea kings at all.
But in the royal family of Fishman Island, a mermaid princess will appear every 800 years.
The king who can command countless sea kings.
What the world says about it is—
【Possess enormous power that can save countless lives or destroy the world】.
...
"It's amazing to be able to make Neptunes your own power." Robin, who is most interested in history, was the first to speak.
"The same ancient weapons, Pluto is a super battleship, is Neptune actually a human?" Nami was also a little surprised, because of Alabasta's experience, she subconsciously thought that ancient weapons should be similar to warships.
"Wow! It's been another 800 years, and now I'm also interested in that period of history that was covered up by the world government." Franky said at this time: "It will definitely explode Su~per~!"
Usopp looked at Neptune: "But, what does this have to do with us, uncle."
Pappagu: "Call Your Majesty the King!!"
Usopp's words also brought everyone back to their senses.
Although Neptune's news was surprising, they also did not understand why Neptune would tell them such news.
"Because of a prophecy."
Jinbe then responded for Neptune at this time:
"In the legend of Fishman Island, when the mermaid princess who can command the sea kings is born, there must be someone in her life."
"A person who can help the mermaid princess guide the power in her body correctly."
"By then, the world will usher in a huge change."
...
Everyone fell silent again.
After a while, Zoro looked at Jinbei and said, "Did you choose to board the boat because of this? You think Luffy is the one in the legend."
At some point, Sauron's reaction was quite fast.
"I do have such a reason," Jinbe said unabashedly, "to make a huge change in the world, even if Luffy and the mermaid princess didn't meet, he also made the world start to change."
"I chose to board the ship because I believed in Luffy."
Unexpectedly, at this time, Neptune spoke: "On this point, Jinbe and I have different ideas. In contrast, I am more willing to believe that Mr. Bai Ye is the person in the legend."
Bai Ye raised his head with a surprised expression, and the others also looked over.
Neptune also spoke again: "In the legend, it is not so much to guide the power, but rather to be the guide of the mermaid princess. After all, the power to command the sea king is born with the mermaid princess. So that person should have the ability to lead the mermaid. The ability of the princess to correctly understand the world."
"In my opinion, Mr. Bai Ye, who was able to say those words in the Chambord Islands and the top war, and helped the establishment of Xinghuo, is the legendary person." m.
As a member of Xinghuo, Neptune naturally knows more and more detailed news than Jinping.
Although Bai Ye has always been doing the job of the deputy captain, he has not crossed the line for Luffy as the captain.
But the more he understands Bai Ye's deeds, the more Neptune feels that Bai Ye is obviously more suitable to guide his daughter Bai Xing, compared with Luffy's kind of passionate guy who only does things with his own heart.
Thinking of this, Neptune looked at Bai Ye and was about to continue speaking.
But Bai Ye interrupted him with a sentence at this time:
"Eligible to guide the king
Yes, there's only one other king, isn't there? "
Bai Ye's lips curled slightly, and he opened his mouth slowly:
"There was a saying in my hometown: [Whether it is a peaceful era or a time of chaos, there will always be some people who can naturally gather many partners, and those partners will become great existences]."
"That person will eventually be called a legend."
Bai Ye pointed to Sauron: "If there is no Luffy, Sauron might have died in that town."
He pointed to Usopp again: "If there is no Luffy, Usopp may be buried in Sirob Village."
Bai Ye pointed to more people: "There are also Robin, Chopper, Franky..."
"We are all here because of Luffy. If we really want to talk about guidance, there is no doubt that it is that guy."
Hearing Bai Ye's words, everyone in the Straw Hats smiled at the end except for Sauron's face which turned dark first.
Although they usually beat and scolded Luffy, no one would deny this.
【Luffy, changed their fate】.
"So that's how it is," Neptune looked at Bai Ye's expression that didn't seem to be fake, and was a little surprised, but he still said: "It seems that I still know too little about your pirates. I'm really sorry."
"Don't worry about it," Bai Ye said with a smile: "After all, it's really hard for people to accept someone like our captain who looks quite unreliable."
While talking, Bai Ye also looked at where Luffy should be.
next second—
"Where's Luffy!!" Bai Ye couldn't believe it, Lord Dao, I gave you face so much, but you're not here? ! !
Only then did everyone realize that there was no food on the table in front of them.
"Damn it, it must be because of the usual situation, Luffy's sense of existence is always too low, which made everyone get used to it." Sanji also looked a little ugly.
"It should be lost, heh, that guy is always so unreliable." Sauron picked up his glass and smiled happily.
"Only you are not qualified to say that!" Usopp complained.
"Luffy probably went out by himself because he was still too hungry after finishing the food on the table while we were listening to the story." Nami told the truth.
"Don't be impatient, everyone. Mr. Lu Fei must still be in Dragon Palace. As our guest, he will not be harmed no matter where he is." Neptune obviously misunderstood everyone's meaning.
"Your Majesty Neptune, they are not worried that Luffy will be hurt, but that Luffy will pose a threat to Dragon Palace." Although he has not officially boarded the ship, Jinbe is obviously familiar with the Straw Hats' style.
"It doesn't matter, as long as Mr. Luffy doesn't accidentally break into the hard-shell tower where the little girl is, even if it causes damage, it doesn't matter at all." Neptune said still generously.
As soon as he said this, everyone in the Straw Hats looked at him instantly.
"Eh..." Even Neptune, who is the lord of the country, was a little panicked when he was stared at by the same eyes.
"It was fine before I said it, but once you say it like this, then we can be sure." Chopper slowly got up with a serious expression.
"Luffy, he must be in the hard shell tower of the mermaid princess." Meli said at this time.
Neptune: "???"
How did he know that in the eyes of everyone, Luffy is a guy who can find the most special places no matter where he goes.
So at this moment, everyone firmly believes that Luffy is definitely in the place he said.
"Damn it! Did you let that idiot Luffy get there first! I will never lose to him!!"
Sanji stood up, exuding fighting spirit all over his body.
"Don't be inexplicably passionate in strange places! Idiot!" Usopp slapped Sanji on the back of the head and complained.
"Jinbe!" Sanji turned his head to look at Jinbe with firm eyes: "Take me there, I will definitely save the mermaid princess!!"
The flames in Sanji's eyes made Jinbe a little overwhelmed.
"It's over, this guy is completely hopeless." Usopp said, rolling his eyes.
"Yohohoho! The mermaid princess, I really want to see his fat..." Before Brook could finish speaking, Nami kicked him over.
"In this way, don't we look more like bad guys!!"
"Come with me, the hard-shell tower of the Mermaid Princess is in this direction." Jinbe was the first to react at this time, and got up to lead the way for everyone.
He wasn't worried that Luffy would hurt Princess Shirahoshi, what he cared about was another person.
Over the years, has been intimidating
Princess Shirahoshi's bastard.
—
In another place not far from Fishman Island, on the seabed with only faint light, a pirate ship was slowly advancing.
If anyone who is familiar with pirate ships sees it, they will definitely recognize the identity of the ship at first sight: the pirate ship of the legendary pirate Vander Daken—the Flying Dutchman.
Also the most famous ghost ship.
At this moment, the ship traveling on the bottom of the sea was pulled forward by a giant with thick hair.
"See you in Mianjin, Princess Shirahoshi's reply hasn't arrived yet?"
In front of the giant, a figure coated with a waterproof coating was asking his own questions.
"Well, not yet, Captain Daken."
The giant gave his answer truthfully.
This giant who can breathe and walk freely on the bottom of the sea is a crew member of the Flying Pirates, with a big bald head and a big tiger porpoise murloc.
The man named Captain Daken was a four-legged murloc with a top hat, upturned hair and a beard, multiple necklaces on his body.
It is the captain of the Flying Pirates, the descendant of the legendary pirate Van der Daken, Vander Daken IX, the broad-striped tiger sharkman.
And the reason why he, as a murloc, has to be coated with a waterproof coating in the water is because he ate a devil fruit.
For the superhuman target target fruit, as long as the target is marked, the items thrown by the capable person will automatically track, unless it is shot down or blocked by an obstacle in the middle.
The fruit of such a bug naturally has limitations.
The number of targets that an ability user can remember is the same as the number of palms. Once they wash their hands, the locked targets will be eliminated.
"It's all to blame on that hateful old man Neptune, he must want Shirahoshi to marry politically, that's for sure!" Vanderdyken IX blew his beard and stared angrily until he jumped to his feet: "Princess Shirahoshi was locked in the tower for ten years. Years are the best proof!"
The reason why Van der Daken wanted to marry Shirahoshi was because he had witnessed the ability of Neptune, which had been recorded by his ancestors.
In his opinion, as long as he becomes Bai Xing's husband, he can completely control this power.
That's why he began to harass Shirahoshi for several years.
As for the method of harassment.
"Today, just use this."
Vander Daken IX holding up a huge double-bladed battle axe
, the ax is also engraved with a rose pattern:
"Send me an ax with a rose on it! Duh!"
As Vander Daken IX threw it vigorously, the battle rose galloped in one direction.
Seeing his love go away, Vander Daken IX said affectionately:
"Princess Baixing, I believe that lovers will eventually get married, and you will definitely become my wife!"
In the next second, he changed the subject and said with a ferocious face: "But I absolutely can't stand you living with other people. Once that time comes, you go to hell, Bai Xing!!"
"Hoo **** ho ho!!"
—
Next, let's go back in time a little bit to see what Luffy did after leaving the banquet hall.
Because King Neptune was talking, Luffy, who had finished eating again, smelled a scent, left and got up and chased after him.
On the way, he met a very big shark. With his eyes shining, he immediately prepared to catch the shark and ask Sanji to deal with it.
The shark, who felt Luffy's malice, also fled quickly, and led Luffy into the hard shell tower by mistake.
It is no surprise that I met the mermaid princess.
As for the appearance of the mermaid princess, I won’t go into details here.
