Luffy, how can you become the Pirate King if you don't work hard!

However, when they saw who was sitting in the banquet hall, all their restraint vanished.

"Hey?"

Kemi cupped her face in her hands, her eyes wide open, her tongue curled into a wavy line, making an extremely exaggerated expression of shock.

"Luffy and Nami! What are you doing here?!"

"Hi, long time no see, Cammy!" Luffy greeted them with a smile as he ate meat.

Nami smiled and waved, "Come and sit down!"

The banquet atmosphere quickly became lively.

Neptune watched this scene and smiled with satisfaction.

But as he laughed, he realized he was being ignored.

“Um…” Neptune tried to interject.

"Father, this is delicious, please try some." After feeding Luffy, Shirahoshi forked a piece of fish for her father.

Neptune accepted it with gratitude.

Daughters are still the best.

But the next second, Shirahoshi's attention returned to Luffy.

Neptune: "..."

He silently shrank to a corner of the banquet hall, squatted on the ground and drew circles: "I've been ignored, completely ignored."

The Left Minister swam over and said sternly, "Your Majesty, please mind your manners! As the host of this banquet, how can you hide in a corner?"

“But nobody’s paying attention to me,” Neptune said, feeling wronged.

That's your own problem!

Neptune was already feeling wronged, but then Shirahoshi suddenly spoke up, "Father, I want to travel with Lord Luffy."

"puff."

Jinbe spat out a mouthful of sake.

Why did Princess Shirahoshi have to choose a suitable time to say it? She's so good at picking her time!

In short, he nearly made all the fishmen except the Straw Hat crew faint from shock.

The cutlery in the hands of the three princes fell onto the table with a crisp sound, and the Left Minister and Right Minister were instantly petrified.

The entire banquet hall fell silent instantly, even the music stopped.

Everyone looked at Bai Xing, their eyes filled with disbelief.

"White, Princess White Star."

The Left Minister stammered, "What...what are you saying? You are the princess of Fishman Island, how can you become a pirate?"

The Right Minister also hurriedly advised, "Your Highness, this is too dangerous! The New World is full of powerful pirates."

Even Shirahoshi's three older brothers were at a loss.

I can't let my sister become a pirate!

However, Neptune remained calm, completely ignoring the words of the Left and Right Ministers whispering in his ear about etiquette and such.

"Do you want to go, Shirahoshi?"

"I want to go. I want to see the outside world and go on adventures with Luffy and his crew."

She looked at Neptune, her eyes sparkling with expectation and pleading: "Father, is it alright?"

Neptune nodded. "Then let's go."

"Your Majesty!"

The Left Minister and the Right Minister exclaimed in surprise at the same time.

But Neptune raised his hand to stop them.

"Then go ahead, Luffy. I'm entrusting my daughter to you."

Luffy grinned: "Of course, I'll protect my crewmates."

For some reason, Luffy felt that Neptune's tone when entrusting Vivi to him was exactly the same as when Cobra entrusted Vivi to him.

Are all fathers like this?

In the banquet hall, everyone had different expressions.

Neptune didn't explain much; he knew about Shirahoshi's power.

This power must not be known to the World Government; perhaps it would be safer to stay by Luffy's side.

......

After the banquet, upon learning that Nami liked treasure, Neptune decided to reciprocate, since his daughter would be their companion in the future.

Nami rubbed her hands together, her eyes lighting up. "King Neptune, are you planning to exploit the national treasury?"

"Of course! You are the benefactors of Fishman Island, so take as much treasure as you like from the national treasury!"

One sentence made the Straw Hat crew all have strange expressions.

Neptune assumed Nami was just taking a few souvenirs as a token gesture.

But he was wrong.

Big mistakes.

When Nami arrived at the underground vault of Ryugu Palace with Vivi, Perona, and Toki, the eyes of the four girls all turned into the shape of Beli.

No woman dislikes sparkly things.

Not to mention they're pirates!

Who would complain about having too much money?

Nami's breathing quickened. "You've struck it rich, haven't you?"

Perona floated in the air, exclaiming, "So much treasure!"

It is far more than Lord Moria's treasury.

Even the usually calm and collected Tengetsu couldn't help but widen his eyes.

Neptune stood at the vault door, waving generously:

"Take it, take whatever you want! Don't be shy!"

He regretted it as soon as he finished speaking.

Because Nami showed absolutely no politeness.

"Gold! Pearls! Gems! They're all mine!" Nami seemed like a completely different person, moving incredibly fast; anyone who didn't know better would think she'd eaten the Glint-Glint Fruit.

She opened a box full of gold coins, grabbed them, and stuffed them into the sack she was carrying.

I saw another red coral that was half my height and picked it up.

Pearl necklaces? I'll take the whole box!

A jeweled crown? Wear it on your head!

Neptune's smile froze.

"Um, Miss Nami."

He tried to remind them, "These are all quite heavy."

"It's not heavy,"

Nami smiled brightly, "Your Majesty, you said you could take whatever you wanted, you won't go back on your word, will you?"

"Of course not."

Neptune's lips twitched.

But he soon realized that he had made a fatal mistake.

It's not just Nami alone!

Vivi, Perona, and Toki also joined the battle.

Vivi used the power of the Wind-Wind Fruit to roll up a bunch of gold coins and put them directly into a bag.

Perona's negative ghosts can touch physical entities.

Despite her gentle and weak appearance, Neptune felt that he couldn't even match her strength.

The four girls swarmed like locusts, and wherever they went, the treasures diminished at a visible rate.

Neptune's heart was bleeding.

The Left Minister and the Right Minister have already fainted.

"Almost there, that's about it."

Nami looked at the dozen or so bulging sacks with satisfaction. "Thank you, Your Majesty!"

Neptune forced a smile: "No, you're welcome."

Moreover, to be fair, the Straw Hat crew did save Fishman Island, so these treasures as a reward are reasonable.

......

Just as Nami and her friends were looting the national treasury, Luffy, Robin, and Nika, led by Jinbe, arrived at the Sea Forest.

Sea Forest is an underwater forest near Fishman Island, where giant coral trees spread like a sea of ​​trees, and glowing seaweed adorns the landscape, making it as beautiful as a fairy tale world.

But Luffy and his crew didn't come here to see the scenery.

They came to the depths of the forest, where a huge red stone monument stood.

It is the main historical text.

"This is the first time I've ever heard of a place like this," Jinbe remarked.

This place is also known as the graveyard of ships on Fishman Island.
