Pirates of the Death

The sky was full of fog, and the sky was full of fog.

Inside the Dragon Palace.

A giant flounder covered by huge soap bubbles swam quickly in the sea water.

"Wow, is this the Dragon Palace? So gorgeous!"

"This corridor is so long!"

"Are we there yet?"

Enter the Dragon Palace and swim through long corridors.

Finally, after passing through an open door.

The giant flounder slowly landed and turned into a 'cushion' to entertain guests.

The three princes who arrived earlier were waiting for them in the hall early.

The most conspicuous in the entire hall were the larger King Neptune and the timid Princess White Star who was hiding at the back.

Almost everyone in the Death Pirates was attracted by it.

Smanton rubbed his eyes, looking a little surprised.

"What a big beautiful... mermaid?"

Although Shirahoshi only showed a little bit of her figure, Smanton estimated that her body was more than eight meters long.

Swish, swish, snap --

Friong clamped the pen in the middle of the notebook and closed it.

"Is that the mermaid princess? It is said that her beauty is not inferior to that of the world's most beautiful woman, Boa Hancock. Now it seems that although she is immature, she is not much different."

In fact, he originally wanted to stay on the ship to continue to improve the wind and fire cannon, after all, he made a big fool of himself last time.

However, out of curiosity about the Dragon King's Palace, he couldn't help but come.

Winnie had that signature gentle smile on her face.

"This mermaid princess is a little shy!"

For some reason, she actually saw some of her past shadow in Shirahoshi.

Timid, a little timid.

Aikou was more jumpy. As a white arc flashed across, a scream rang out in the hall the next moment.

Ah!!!

"Hey!"

Luo Di covered his forehead helplessly.

It was really... too much.

"Ah, good, so scary, woooo~"

Bai Xing was really scared.

She was already timid, how could she bear Aikou's sudden appearance.

She burst into tears immediately.

"Huh?"

Aikou was completely dumbfounded.

"Hey, you, are you okay?"

Really, she didn't mean it.

Who made this mermaid princess shrink at the back like a rabbit who was afraid of birth, not daring to show her face.

Aikou had to come over to take a look.

Unexpectedly, she was made to cry directly.

Bai Xing's frightened look made it seem as if she had done something unforgivable.

At this time, the three princes saw their sister crying and immediately surrounded her.

The second prince Huangxing sang a song with a strange tone.

The third prince Flipping Star danced a funny dance with his round body.

Only the eldest prince comforted him in a gentle voice.

This posture cannot be done without several years of "training".

"Well, that..."

Aiko was suspended in the air, a little embarrassed.

She wanted to apologize, but she didn't know where to start.

Fortunately, Neptune came to smooth things over.

"Okay, everyone take your seats. As for Shirahoshi, her brothers will take care of her."

Then, he waved to the mermaid singer on the center stage.

In an instant, the singing spread, diluting the unhappiness just now.

The banquet officially began.

…

Although it may be a little unpleasant at the beginning.

But in the laughter.

Aiko and Shirahoshi became good friends.

"Sister Shirahoshi, your courage is completely contrary to your body shape."

Aiko is one year older than Shirahoshi, so she naturally calls her sister after getting familiar with her.

At this time, she was holding a lightning ball with arcs in her hand. As soon as Shirahoshi approached, she was scared and quickly retreated.

"Sister Aiko, you are so bad!"

Shirahoshi had tried to touch the 'lightning ball' with her fingers before, and the numbness caused by the current flow scared her immediately, and she almost cried again because of it.

Winnie on the side raised her hand and wiped the lightning ball in Aiko's hand.

"Okay, don't scare sister Shirahoshi."

In fact, the voltage in this lightning ball is not that high, it is within the acceptable range of the human body.

It even has a certain body tempering effect.

But Shirahoshi's words...

"Okay..."

Aikoshi has fully witnessed Shirahoshi's timidity.

Of course, she will not let Shirahoshi go so easily.

"But, I will help you train your courage every day. How can you be so timid when you are so big?"

Shirahoshi's eyes widened when he heard this.

"Ah?"

Happy times are always short.

Soon, the banquet started.

Near the end.

In a room not far from the banquet hall.

Rodi and Neptune, who left early, sat opposite each other.

The room was unusually quiet, and only Rodi's rhythmic knocking on the table could be heard.

"King Neptune, actually, the reason I came here is... Princess Shirahoshi."

"Shirahoshi?"

Neptune's heart skipped a beat.

Things really can't end so easily.

The young human in front of him probably knows a lot of secrets.

Then, he pretended to be calm so that he didn't look so flustered.

"What do you want to see Shirahoshi about?"

Rodi raised his eyebrows.

"Actually, it's nothing. I just don't want her ability to be used by some people with ulterior motives!"

"After all, summoning sea kings is an incredible ability."

How did he know?

Shirahoshi's ability is probably only known to the fishmen who experienced the "accident" a few years ago.

How did Rodi, a human, know about it?

Neptune frowned.

But he also knew that he couldn't hide it this time, so he didn't deny it anymore.

"How did you know?"

Lodi shrugged.

"Let's put it this way. Vander Decken IX and Hodi Jones, who were killed by me, all knew that Shirahoshi had the ability to summon giant sea kings."

"Do you know why Decken is so obsessed with your daughter?"

Neptune asked subconsciously.

"Why?"

Lodi stretched out two fingers.

"Just two words, ability. Maybe he really covets the beauty of Princess Shirahoshi, but more importantly, he wants to control Shirahoshi's ability to rule the sea."

Neptune was stunned.

He really didn't expect this.

After a long time, he sighed.

"It seems that I still underestimated the influence of that incident. Maybe there are still many people watching Shirahoshi in secret."

Lodi didn't know this.

He only knew that Decken and Hodi knew about it.

But it is undeniable that there were not a few fishmen who witnessed Shirahoshi summoning the Sea Kings.

"King Neptune, do you think the Whitebeard Pirates can still be called the Four Emperors Pirates without Whitebeard?"

The sudden change of topic made Neptune a little unresponsive.

He was stunned for a moment before he spoke.

"It should not be... not."

Lodi smiled lightly.

"Then what do you think will happen to Fishman Island without the protection of the Four Emperors Pirates?"

Hmm?

Neptune was a little overwhelmed by Lodi's erratic words.

However, if the protection is lost, it is certain that...

"Those human pirates who go to the New World via Fishman Island will become more and more unscrupulous."

He can already imagine how chaotic Fishman Island will be at that time.

But...

...
