Chapter 269 The Mermaid Princess of the Hard Shell Tower
Chapter 269 The Mermaid Princess of the Hard Shell Tower
"Excuse me, who is here?"
The light in the room suddenly turned on, Shirahoshi sat up, and Luffy was thrown away.
I saw the mermaid princess with my own eyes. She is indeed huge, but her proportions are very well-proportioned, her figure is great, and her looks are incredible.
"What are you doing to me? Who are you?" Bai Xing's voice was timid when he spoke, with tears welling up in his eyes.
Luffy looked up and saw Shirahoshi's face.
"What, what a big mermaid!" Luffy said in surprise.
Bai Xing looked very cute, clenching her little fists: "You are here to take my life, too, but I am not afraid at all, because I am Neptune's daughter. That's why I am not scared or scared."
Someone came to take her life, but she still called you, and her tone of voice was very soft. She was so kind. How could there be such a silly and sweet princess in reality.
As he spoke, Shirahoshi began to cry, with tears falling even bigger than Luffy's.
"Ah~~~" Bai Xing covered her eyes and kept crying, tears welling up in her eyes.
"Come quickly, father and brother."
"Hey, I didn't do anything." Luffy defended.
But Bai Xing was still crying.
Luffy covered his head and was at a loss: "Really, what's wrong with you? Xiao, think of a solution!"
Li Xiao didn't know what to do. He remembered the marshmallows he bought for Chopper. When Li Xiao took them out and handed them to Bai Xing, Bai Xing cried even harder.
The marshmallow was no bigger than Shirahoshi's fingernail and fell off as soon as he touched it.
"It's the cry of Princess White Star, in the direction of the Hard Shell Tower."
Shirahoshi's cry quickly attracted the attention of the guards, and a large number of guards rushed to the hard-shell tower.
Bai Xing was still crying: "You two came here to take my life."
"No, hey, no! I'm just hungry." Luffy said.
At this moment, a big ax flew over Li Xiao's head and headed straight for Bai Xing.
Li Xiao grabbed the ax with one hand and planted it on the ground.
"Why did the ax fly over?" Luffy asked confused.
There was a huge red pattern on the ax, which looked like it was thrown by Vanderdyken.
When Princess Bai Xing saw the ax being caught, she immediately understood that these two men were not here to kill her.
Just then, the guards rushed in.
"Hide quickly."
Bai Xing grabbed Li Xiao and Luffy with his hands and placed them behind his back.
"Your Highness, are you okay?" the right minister asked.
"No!" Bai Xing looked slightly panicked.
"Hearing your unusual cry, princess, we are very worried. Who is this door? Is it an intruder?" The right minister looked around.
Luffy was in Shirahoshi's hands and wanted to shout, but was blocked by Li Xiao.
"Shh, don't make a sound, we are not safe now." Li Xiao whispered to Luffy.
"We are guests of Dragon Palace City!"
"There is chaos outside now. Do you still remember that Caribu? He used his fruit power to kidnap many mermaid women. Now this crime has been passed on to us. There is also Miss Charlie's prophecy. She predicted that we will destroy this world.
People from an island.”
Luffy was shocked: "How do you know this?"
Li Xiao pointed to his brain: "Use your brain more."
Luffy dragged his chin, thinking carefully about Li Xiao's words, and then said: "Can you know this with your brain?"
"Yes, study more." Li Xiao patted Luffy on the shoulder and said sincerely.
On the other side, Bai Xing was explaining to the right minister: "I seem to have had a nightmare, which makes you worried."
"I did seem to hear something."
"No, no, that was the sound from my stomach."
"is that so?"
At this time, the little shark Mekaro came and happily wandered around Bai Xing.
Mekaro saw Li Xiao and Luffy behind him. Li Xiao made a shushing gesture, and Mekaro nodded. He was a very intelligent shark.
Immediately afterwards, the right minister began to say that they suspected that the Straw Hats had abducted a large number of fishmen. Based on Mrs. Charlie's prediction, they decided to treat the Straw Hats as dangerous people and put them in a cell.
Now that his companions outside have been arrested, Zoro drank a large jar of wine, became drunk, and was also arrested.
"But Captain Straw Hat and Akatsuki are missing. We think they are hiding somewhere in Ryugu City. Princess, please be careful." The right minister said.
At this time, Luffy's stomach rang again, and he covered his mouth, unable to prevent his stomach.
The right minister was confused. What kind of sound was this? Princess Bai Xing would not be so rude.
"Princess, you are a little strange, what's wrong with you?"
Fortunately, the guard next to him took out a timer: "Right Minister, the time is up."
"It's been five minutes, let's take our leave."
The right minister led the guards to close the door and left the hard-shell tower.
After closing the door, Shirahoshi held up Li Xiao and Luffy in his palms.
"I was rude just now, I hope you can forgive me. Mekaro's savior is you." Bai Xing said.
Seeing Bai Xing up close, Li Xiao found that her eyes were very beautiful, and her body was only a little bigger than Bai Xing's eyes.
Li Xiao touched Mekaro's head and it looked very happy.
Shirahoshi asked: "Luffy and Akatsuki-sama are pirates, so are you bad people?"
"I don't know, it's up to you to decide." Luffy said.
"I heard that your friend was captured by soldiers."
"It's okay, they can't be caught by you, right Xiao."
"Yes, that's right. Nami is now a great magician. As long as she uses the magic she has practiced in the past two years, Ryugu City will probably tremble."
"Is Nami so powerful?" Luffy asked in surprise.
"Then do you think that the title of the Great Magician of the Seven Elements is just an empty name?"
Luffy scratched his head and said he didn't know anything: "So everyone is so awesome, haha."
Luffy looked at Shirahoshi: "What happened to the ax just now?"
"I know who the culprit is."
Shirahoshi began to tell the story of the origin of the ax. It was that guy Vander Deken. Shirahoshi rejected his proposal, so he kept pestering Shirahoshi. He has the ability of the target fruit. No matter when and where, Shirahoshi can be thrown by him.
Even if he was hit by a weapon, Bai Xing could only stay in this hard-shell tower without even taking a step out.
At this point, Luffy's stomach rumbled again, and Shirahoshi opened the lid of the meal that the guard had just given her. Inside was delicious food.
Li Xiao wasn't too hungry, so he ate a few bites, while Luffy started to clean up the food.
"How long has this been going on?" Li Xiao asked.
"It's been ten years." Bai Xing said.
Luffy was surprised: "Ten years, this is too boring."
"Furthermore, my father has also set a rule that soldiers can only stay here for five minutes, so the only one I can chat with is Mekaro, who is my most important friend. What on earth do my father and the others plan to do if they lock up all their benefactors?"
Speaking of Mrs. Charlie, her predictions are very accurate. Speaking of which, your body is obviously so small, but human beings really eat a lot!"
Shirahoshi marveled at Luffy's ability to eat.
Li Xiao shook his head: "It does not represent human beings, it only represents Luffy himself."
