Chapter 124: Dragon Palace, Charlie's divination, the king of gods has been
The next day, early morning.
The morning light first appeared, and the sky turned white. On the sea surface in Area 50 and several nearby areas, the Lion, Red Forth and dozens of pirate ships of the Whitebeard Pirates have completed the coating work.
.
The pirates have been stranded in the Shampoo Islands for three days, and it's time to return to the New World.
Without stopping for much, as soon as the coating work was completed, the Lionheart Pirates, Red-Haired Pirates and Whitebeard Pirates set off together, gradually allowing the pirate ship to dive into the seabed by increasing the load.
Today is the day to set off for Fish-Man Island, and everyone can't wait.
Staying in the first half of the Grand Line, especially in the Chambord Islands, which is very close to the Holy Land of Mariejoia, the navy will be very nervous and secretly on guard to beware of pirates causing trouble.
The pirates also had a hard time having fun, and had to be on guard at all times for the navy to tear up the agreement, turn against them, backstab them or play dirty tricks on them.
The new world is the territory of pirates. As long as they have strong fists, they can run rampant.
"Gu Gu Gu Gu..."
On the sea, white waves surged. The Lion's surface had been coated with a layer of transparent bubble film, and the hull began to sink.
After checking the record pointer on his wrist, navigator Wen Xi looked up and saw the captain wearing a black windbreaker standing alone at the bow of the ship. He scratched his fluffy hair and muttered:
"Sister Na, the boss seems to be worried."
I don't know if it was an illusion, but after coming back last night, the captain was a little absent-minded.
Not reading books, not studying recipes, not playing with those devil fruits, not chatting with them... always standing aside in silence.
"I don't know. I don't know where he went."
Nana shook her head, picked up the Coke with ice cubes, and sipped it through the straw a few times.
In the past two days, the master has been a little secretive, and he is the kind of person who doesn't share secrets and experiences. Is there any way he likes to hide it, so as to use it as a trick on others...
The old man beeped.
Of course, Nana doesn't know everything.
Last night, she smelled a little scent of perfume and shampoo on the captain, which proved that he had close contact with someone of the opposite sex.
It's a pity that they are all affordable mass brands, and so many women use them that they cannot lock their identity.
She knew he wouldn't tell, so she didn't bother to ask.
Many people found that the captain was a little absent-minded, but the crew did not worry too much.
It's not like he was hurt, nor was he emotionally depressed.
Just like Barrett said, after sensing it, he found that the captain's aura seemed to become more abyss-like and unfathomable...
Mmp, then you have to worry about a hammer, it’s even scarier, okay?
The ship gradually sank, and then the water splashed, and the cold seawater covered everyone's heads. The bright sunshine was blocked by the seawater, and the vision instantly dimmed a lot.
The change of scene also brought Ren back to his senses, his eyes were blue and deep.
What happened last night...
Forget it, don't think about it anymore, he doesn't know what to do.
Separated by a layer of film, Ren on the bow looked around.
People often say that the scene at the bottom of the sea is magnificent and magical, and it is another paradise. However, in fact, most of the time you can hardly see anything at the bottom of the sea several hundred meters below.
Coldness, silence and darkness are the most intuitive feelings.
There are no fish, shrimps, crabs or turtles to be seen, no sunlight, only dim vision and cold sea water. It is easy to get claustrophobia if you stay here for a long time.
To sum up, the sea, you are all water.
"Tch, it's dark and blurry, almost nothing, not romantic at all."
This was the first time Nana went deep into the undercurrent of the seabed. The boring scene in front of her made her a little disappointed and she complained.
But Lane, Barrett, Wen Xi and others were not surprised.
They have all walked the line from Fish-Man Island to the New World. To put it bluntly, before arriving at Fish-Man Island, there is not much to see on the bottom of the sea.
As we dive deeper and deeper, we can see some strange and ferocious-looking sea beasts from time to time.
There are also Neptune species that are even larger, like hills or aircraft carriers.
There are dangers, no. When the pirate fleet reached more than 5,000 meters under the sea, a tentacle hundreds of meters long and a huge octopus-like sea king emerged from the dark undercurrent.
The big octopus is very ferocious. It seems to be looking for food. A dozen tentacles covered with purple patterns quickly reach out to a ship in the outer white group!
"No, there are Neptunes!"
"He's going to attack the Dekalban brothers' ship!"
On the rest of the boat, the people in the white group were a little nervous.
On the seabed thousands of meters below, it is quite dangerous to be attacked by sea beasts and sea kings. If you are not careful, even some powerful pirates may be buried in the belly of the fish.
Fighting on the bottom of the sea is not easy, you are tied up, and due to the coating, you cannot use the cannons mounted on the ship to attack.
A typical example is the Straw Hat Pirates. Two years later, the "New Fish-Man Pirates" brought several sea beasts and almost destroyed Luffy and the others.
But this time, the big octopus obviously chose the wrong target.
"Roar!!"
Nana's green dragon eyes flashed with a fierce light, her eyes locked on the sea king, and then she let out a terrifying roar!
The powerful overlord-colored domineering energy was released together with the terrifying dragon power at the top of the food chain. The big octopus seemed to be frightened, and its huge body trembled.
Whoosh!
Fear overwhelmed its hunger, and it retracted its tentacles, and its body rushed into the turbulent sea currents like lightning, as if it was running for its life.
‘What the hell, what kind of monster sound is this?!’
In the blink of an eye, the big octopus disappeared into the dark undercurrent.
Renn even heard its frightened voice.
Listening to the sounds of all things... He also has this ability, which allows him to understand the sounds of Neptune. Of course, this ability is a bit inexplicable, and he doesn't know what it is.
"Shanks, have you ever felt that her domineering aura is a bit strange?"
On the Redfors, Ben Beckman was holding a cigarette and looking a little confused.
"It seems so, it's not like she's just domineering."
The red-haired man glanced at the big octopus who was so frightened that he ran away quickly, and then turned his head to stare at Nana on the Lion with a slightly surprised look.
The overlord color can intimidate and scare away sea beasts, even the sea king.
However, it was no longer a threat, it was more like a little sheep meeting a big bad wolf and being frightened out of his wits.
The shock effect was unexpectedly good, stronger than his attack.
But in terms of perceiving the intensity of Overlord's color, Nana was not as good as him and the bloodthirsty swordsman.
"Weird thing."
The red-haired man also couldn't figure out Guan Jian, Long Wei, etc. He didn't think about it at all.
Kaido is still in the form of a blue dragon, a phantom beast species, so his overlord color will not be directly enhanced...
On another boat, Huajian even reached out and poked Brother Ma on the shoulder and joked:
"They are also phantom beasts. I feel that the little girl is stronger than you in all aspects."
Margao: "..."
(￣ε(#￣), it’s all because he is too useless and can’t embarrass his brothers better than a little girl.
But he doesn’t have a domineering look, what can he do? He is also very desperate...
"Sister Na is awesome."
"What kind of sea beasts and sea kings are like scum in front of the fire dragon."
On the Lion, the Lionheart Pirates were very excited to see Nana showing off her power. The roar almost scared the giant octopus to the point of pissing. It was so majestic that it felt like they could walk sideways on the bottom of the sea.
Even Ren nodded and touched Nana's little head.
As expected of the legendary evil dragon, its aura is indeed very fierce and domineering, fundamentally different from that of humans.
The power of the giant dragon can awaken the primitive instinctive fear of creatures such as sea beasts and sea kings. This kind of crushing on the life level is much better than the simple overlord color to intimidate.
Nana was even more proud after receiving the master's approval.
Then, she stopped restraining her dragon power at all, which made the sea beasts and sea kings wandering under the sea dare not approach her at all.
Thanks to her, everything went smoothly, and the fleet composed of three pirate groups penetrated 10,000 meters under the sea and successfully arrived at Fish-Man Island.
Fish-Man Island is the only place to reach the new world. It is also the birthplace of most fish-men and mermaids. It is called the "Undersea Paradise".
It is located directly below the Holy Land of Mariejoia, and because of the existence of the Sun Tree Eve, the sun still shines on the island.
"so amazing."
Nana opened her eyes wide and admired the scenery here.
Ahead, the huge trunk of the Sun Tree stands. Its roots located in the deep sea 10,000 meters below emit a strong light like sunlight. The brilliant golden light dispels the darkness of the seabed, making the Fish-Man Island as sunny as the islands on the sea.
brilliant.
The huge film covers the island like a light bulb. Murlocs, mermaids, and many human pirates can be seen everywhere on the island. On the edge of the island, fish, sea beasts and sea kings are swimming nearby... This is a vibrant ocean kingdom.
.
"Is this the charm of the sea? No wonder it keeps so many people coming."
Yu Zhiliu's eyes flashed, and he seemed to be shocked by this magnificent and magical sight.
Although he had heard about it, for him, a jailer who had been stationed in Impel Down City for most of his life, this was indeed a sight he had never seen before.
The arrival of so many people from the Lionheart Pirates, Red-Haired Pirates and Whitebeard Pirates naturally alarmed the people on Fish-Man Island.
This group of people caused a huge sensation as soon as they landed on the island.
"Look, that's the Yonko with red hair!"
"Margao, Bista, Namu...it's great that they are fine." A fishman uncle said.
Whitebeard's flag has protected the island for decades, deterring greedy human traffickers from coming to Fish-Man Island to capture slaves. Therefore, most residents here still have a good impression of the people of the White Group.
Seeing that Brother Xiaoma, Huajian and the others were safe and sound, many residents smiled.
Of course, the Lionheart Pirates don't get this treatment.
"That's the Demon King...Ray...Ryan! So scary!"
When a mermaid girl saw the bloodthirsty swordsman, she covered her mouth with her hands and looked horrified.
Renn: "..."
Hey, sister, don’t look like you’ve seen a ghost. Could it be that he can eat people?
Not only this pale-faced fish-man girl, Renne could feel that many eyes nearby were focused on him.
Curiosity, fear, fear, panic... Most of the residents of Fish-Man Island were a little uneasy about the arrival of the Demon King.
Bai Tuan is a benefactor, and the red-haired pirates also have a good reputation on Fish-Man Island.
Only the Demon King who emerged out of nowhere and the Lion Heart Pirates he just formed were unfamiliar to the residents.
Not understanding the bloodthirsty swordsman's temper, character, preferences and behavior made the residents a little nervous.
Lane also found that he still underestimated his notoriety.
‘Is this the guy who sank the Navy Headquarters?”
'The most ferocious man, with that look in his eyes, like the god of death.'
‘Will this demon cause trouble on Fish-Man Island and go on a killing spree? Destroy this place?’
The voices of these residents were all read by him with his powerful sense of knowledge.
During those few days in the Chambord Islands, the Red Earl had already taught him his understanding of sight and color and some skills.
His sense of observation has become so strong that he can listen to the thoughts of multiple targets within a certain range at the same time. Of course, it has no effect on Artoria...
Not long after, the king of the Dragon Palace Kingdom, the "Great Knight of the Sea" Neptune, sent people to greet Xiao Ma, Bista and the others.
"What an honor, Margao, Bista, His Majesty the King knows that you are coming and has prepared a banquet. Please come with me to the banquet."
Under the protection of a team of dragon palace guards, an elderly catfish mermaid wearing a top hat, a single-sided spectacle on his left eye, and holding a horn cane in his right hand appeared.
He is the left minister and an important figure in the Dragon Palace.
"Don't neglect your distinguished guests. Your Majesty has ordered us to invite all the heroes from the Red Haired Pirates and Lionheart Pirates."
Red Hair, Ren, and the leaders of the two pirate groups are also invited.
This is not surprising, unless King Neptune has lost his mind, he will ignore these uncles.
Good guy, don't you dare treat me without inviting me... If one of you is unhappy, it might cause a conflict.
"Well... I'm sorry, Minister Zuo, we can't stay long this time. We will leave after a short rest." Xiao Ma declined politely.
How can they have time to attend the banquet now?
In the past few days, the territory under the Whitebeard Pirates has been in chaos. Too many people have made trouble, and it has been bloody. I don't know how many people have died.
In the past three days, Xiao Ma has received no less than 50 calls for help.
In a hurry to put out the fire, he really had no time to attend the banquet.
"Don't worry, it's just a meal. It won't take up much of your time. If you need supplies, the guards will help you arrange supplies... Let us show our friendship as landlords."
Minister Zuo said very politely.
It's hard to refuse such hospitality, and having a meal really doesn't waste much time.
Ponyboy hesitated for a moment and looked at the red-haired man and Ren.
He couldn't make the decision for them.
"Are you going to have a banquet? Great, let's go! We can't keep our hospitable host waiting."
The red-haired man was obviously a party animal. When he heard about the party, he immediately laughed boldly, agreed directly, and urged Xiao Ma to leave quickly.
Nana, Shiliu of the Rain did not move and looked at the captain first.
"Let's go and see the Dragon Palace."
Ren didn't refuse, he smiled faintly, put his hands in his pockets and followed the red-haired man and Ponyboy, his silver eyes looking in the direction of the Dragon Palace.
The Dragon Palace is located on the top floor of the sunny Fishman Island. It is a large luxurious palace built of large coral reefs, shells, and other building materials, with a giant dragon entrenched in it. It is also the base of the royal family.
But what he was looking at was not the Dragon Palace, but the hard-shell tower with many weapons stuck on its surface.
He could hear a powerful voice there.
It was very powerful, to be precise, it was huge. Its magnitude far exceeded anyone he had ever seen in this world, even Akainu and Kizaru could not match it.
Of course, a loud "voice" does not mean strong fighting power. He could also feel her cowering and panic-stricken mood.
Neptune is indeed a very special power, at least unparalleled in some aspects.
Under the leadership of Minister Zuo, Xiao Ma, Ren and the others headed towards the Dragon Palace without encountering any trouble along the way.
At this time, Hody Jones and his new fish-man pirate group had not yet become successful.
Although Ren could also feel the hatred and hostility of some murlocs in the crowd on the roadside, they did not dare to act rashly.
The group arrived at the Dragon Palace successfully.
………
Coral Hill, located in the southeast of Fishman Island, is a prosperous port town of the Dragon Palace Kingdom.
The famous Mermaid Cafe is here.
This is a luxurious cafe run by Mrs. Charlie. The food provided in the shop includes cakes, fruits from the sea, shellfish and kelp dishes. Many beautiful female mermaids also serve as waitresses here, and they are quite famous in Fish-Man Island.
.
Charlie, Aaron's sister, is said to be proficient in divination and can see the future.
She is very beautiful, with short black hair like a waterfall, a pair of cold blue eyes, snow-white skin, a cigarette between her fingers with purple nails, and wearing a hooded top.
At this time, she was in the store, standing in front of the crystal ball, sensing something.
Soon, she opened her beautiful eyes wide with a shocked expression:
"...The vacant throne, the God King has been...empty..."
