Pirate: I have a Hollow living inside me!

If the Blackwing Demon Pirates hadn't intervened, this hidden danger would have exploded...

Fishman Island is about to become very dangerous!

Therefore, Fishman Island and the First Team are very grateful to Rocks and the others for helping them, and regard Rocks and the others as their benefactors!

"Please come this way, everyone!"

Led by Neptune and other members of the royal family, the group soon arrived at the banquet hall.

The dining tables in the hall were filled with all kinds of delicious food.

Most of them are specialties of Fishman Island.

Since the merfolk do not primarily eat fish or meat, their meals mainly consist of shellfish, marine plants, and fruits...

It was also very plentiful, leaving no room for complaint.

Neptune, who was also at the table, explained the situation.

It wasn't that they hadn't treated us well, but rather that they don't eat fish or meat, and there simply wasn't enough time for them to prepare it, so they repeatedly apologized...

Rocks said it was no problem; he'd never tried these Fishman Island specialties before, and that adapting to local customs was the best way to ensure a pleasant experience for both host and guest…

The group ate and drank, and did not discuss important matters, but mainly chatted. The atmosphere was quite pleasant.

As time went by, the banquet came to an end.

Savoring the fragrant and delicious specialty wine of Fishman Island, Locke thought it tasted quite good: "This wine called 'Coral Cloud Dew' is nice. May we buy some from you before we leave?"

"Haha, of course that's possible!"

Neptune nodded and smiled, "No need to buy anything. You have helped us so much, we don't know how to repay you."

"At that time, we will give you all the 'Coral Cloud Dew' from our cellar."

He had already learned the truth about the Queen's death from Jinbe at the banquet.

If Hody Jones hadn't already died, he would have definitely torn him to pieces...

They owe the Blackwing Demon Pirates another favor!

Now they don't know how to repay the debt.

The fact that the other party had this small request actually made him happy.

At least it will repay some of the favors...

"No need for all of them."

Lockes waved his hand and said politely, "We only need a portion; any more than that won't fit on our ship."

Neptune said, "We will then send you the oldest and best-tasting Coral Cloud Dew."

Seeing the sincerity in the other party's tone, Lockes didn't refuse and nodded with a smile: "Then we won't stand on ceremony."

"No, we should be thanking you all. You not only solved a hidden danger for us, but also found the truth about my wife's death..."

By the end, Neptune seemed somewhat downcast and sad.

But he quickly composed himself and said to everyone present, "Ladies and gentlemen, because we received the news at the last minute, the preparations for this banquet are somewhat inadequate."

"Please forgive us if our hospitality has been inadequate..."

"..."

Upon hearing this, the members of the Blackwing Demon Adventurer Group waved their hands repeatedly, saying things like they didn't mind and that it was too kind of them.

This made Neptune feel emotional.

He was somewhat panicked when he heard the news that the Blackwing Demon Pirates had landed on Fishman Island.

After all, the Blackwing Demon Pirates are now infamous.

He dared to kill even the Celestial Dragons, the world's most powerful nobles.

Who has the audacity of the Blackwing Demon Pirates?

Others wouldn't dare kill a Celestial Dragon, and would only bow down and submit upon seeing one, without even a thought of resistance...

However, looking at it now, the Blackwing Demon Pirates are actually easier to get along with than most people...

This made him feel much more relaxed.

Taking a sip of fine wine, Rocks looked at Neptune and chuckled, "By the way, King Neptune, may I meet your daughter, Princess Shirahoshi?"

Meeting Princess Shirahoshi, the Sea King Poseidon, was also one of Rocks' objectives.

Now that he had eaten and drunk his fill, Lockes naturally wanted to meet the other party.

It wasn't that Lox coveted the other party or anything; it was just pure curiosity.

After all, the opponent is Poseidon, one of the ancient weapons, the "Sea King"...

"This one……"

Neptune had also heard from Jinbe that Rocks wanted to meet Shirahoshi...

After a pause, Neptune continued, "Of course, it's possible, but my daughter's situation is somewhat special, making it really inconvenient for her to come here..."

Neptune looked at Lox and said, "And I have a question. Could you please tell us what your purpose is in wanting to see Shirahoshi?"

What does the other party want to see Shirahoshi for?

Neptune knew his daughter's true identity: she was the legendary ancient weapon, Poseidon...

Could it be that the Blackwing Demon Lord knows something about this?

He needs to find out the details first!

"Don't worry, I have no ill intentions towards Princess Shirahoshi."

Knowing what the old father was thinking, Locke dispelled his concerns with a single sentence.

Rocks counted on his fingers and continued, "The reason I want to meet her is because I learned about the Ancient Weapons from the Poneglyphs, and I also learned from Rayleigh that Poseidon, one of the Ancient Weapons, is Princess Shirahoshi."

"Out of curiosity, I wanted to meet her."

"take it easy……"

Seeing Neptune's slightly changed expression, Lox waved his hand: "I really meant no harm. If I did, I wouldn't have said it in front of you."

"I just wanted to see him."

There's no need to hide it; doing so would only make people suspicious of his motives.

Sincerity is the ultimate weapon!

This works perfectly!

After Lockes explained the situation, Neptune's somewhat stiff expression relaxed a little, and he glanced at Robin: "I almost forgot, Your Excellency also has a historian on board who can read ancient texts."

"And...it's actually related to Rayleigh?"

Some people on Roger's crew knew about Shirahoshi's "identity".

Because of a prophecy by Mrs. Shirley!

In addition, the Roger Pirates had also arrived at Laugh Tale, making them people who knew "everything".

I never expected Rayleigh to tell the Blackwing Demon about this...

Robin: "..."

She had no idea that Poseidon, one of the ancient weapons, was actually the mermaid princess Shirahoshi.

All I know is that Poseidon, one of the Ancient Weapons, is located on Fishman Island...

She had previously learned from Mrs. Shirley that there were some ancient sites on Fishman Island, and she had been planning to visit them when she had time.

The mystery has now been solved?

Did Rayleigh tell Rocks?

She felt no sense of accomplishment and found no enjoyment in solving the puzzle!

Robin then glanced at Rocks, as if to say: You already knew, but you didn't tell me?

Seeing Robin's expression, Rocks shrugged and said: You didn't ask!

“I talked to Rayleigh about some things before, including the situation of Poseidon, and that’s how I learned about Princess Shirahoshi’s identity.”

This time, Rox Larry was forced to take the blame, and Larry had indeed mentioned this to him...

So it was only natural for Lox to say, "Out of curiosity, I wanted to see her."

"I'm just curious. Don't worry that I'll do anything to her. Otherwise, I wouldn't have said it out loud. I could have just taken action and you wouldn't have been able to stop me."

Neptune was silent: "..."

What the other person said made a lot of sense and was very direct.

If the other party has any ulterior motives, they really can't stop them...

"As I just said, my daughter's current situation is somewhat special, and she is unable to leave her residence..."

Having figured this out, Neptune took a deep breath, his tone becoming serious:

"If you wish to see Shirahoshi, you will need to visit my daughter's residence..."

Shirahoshi was marked by Vander Decken IX, who ate the Target-Target Fruit, and now she can only stay in the Hard Shell Tower to avoid danger...

This hiding lasted for several years.

As a father, he couldn't even guarantee his daughter's safety; he was truly a failure as a father...

Lox asked knowingly, "Is there some difficulty?"

"When Shirahoshi was young..."

Neptune spoke with a heavy voice about Shirahoshi's past: "Nowadays, every now and then, that Vander Deikun IX will use his powers to throw weapons at Shirahoshi..."

"For Shirahoshi's safety, I have no choice but to protect her in a safe place."

Neptune's voice was bitter: "It's called protection, but it's really no different from 'imprisonment'."

"Bai Xing stayed there for six years, and didn't leave her residence for a single step in those six years..."
