One Piece: World Conquest Begins with Creating a Little Empress

Upon hearing this, Jinbe looked puzzled.

“'Pluto' Rayleigh! And the World Nobles…”

Arlong looked at Jinbe and spoke loudly.

"what?!"

Upon hearing this, Jinbe froze on the spot.

A flicker of surprise flashed in Jinbe's eyes, followed by a burst of rage. He glared at Arlong and said coldly, "You dare to lie to me?!"

"No no no..."

"How could I dare to lie to you!"

Upon hearing this, Arlong retreated rapidly, looking at Jinbe and speaking in a flustered manner.

"You still say you weren't lying to me?"

Jinbe looked at Arlong and continued, "Why would a world noble come here?!"

"It's true! They really came..."

"They also said they wanted to see His Majesty and Queen Otohime to discuss a marriage alliance with His Majesty Neptune, as well as moving Fish-Man Island from the seabed to the surface..."

Arlong looked flustered and quickly explained the purpose of Rayleigh and the others' visit.

"Rayleigh and the World Nobles have really arrived?!"

Jinbe calmed down, cold sweat beading on his forehead. He suddenly realized that perhaps Arlong hadn't lied to him. After all, what Arlong had just said was clearly not something a fish-man could say.

"It's really happening, it's really here..."

Ah Long nodded.

"I gonna go see……"

Upon hearing that the person standing outside the palace was the famous 'Dark King' Rayleigh and a high-ranking World Noble, Jinbe immediately flew out of the fortress and looked in the direction of Rayleigh.

"It really is Rayleigh! There's no time to lose; I must quickly report the situation here to King Neptune and Queen Otohime..."

After confirming Rayleigh and the others' identities, Jinbe didn't hesitate and headed straight for the interior of Ryugu Castle! He wanted to report to King Neptune that Rayleigh and the others had come to Fishman Island and intended to meet with him.

Not long after...

Jinbe then pushed open the main gate of the Ryugu Palace and entered the room where King Neptune was resting.

"Um?!"

Neptune was sitting on his throne, yawning wearily.

After Jinbe arrived, Neptune forced himself to stay alert. He looked at Jinbe and asked in a cold voice, "Sergeant Jinbe! Why aren't you guarding the palace outside? What brings you here?!"

What goes around comes around; no one escapes the wrath of Heaven!

Now Neptune is questioning Jinbe again; the dialogue is almost unchanged, only the characters are reversed.

"Your Majesty Neptune! A guest has arrived and wishes to visit you..."

Upon hearing this, Jinbe immediately told Neptune the truth.

"guest?"

"Who?!"

Neptune's words were exactly the same as what Jinbe had said before.

"It is said to be Rayleigh, the vice-captain of the Pirate King, and a World Noble."

Upon hearing this, Jinbe immediately looked at Neptune and began to speak.

"Oh, so it's 'Pluto' Rayleigh, and the World Nobles?!"

After hearing Jinbe's words, Neptune yawned casually, looking listless. It wasn't until his brain had cleared up for a few seconds that he showed a hint of realization...

Neptune stared at Jinbe in shock and asked, "What did you say? You said someone came to visit?! The sound of the water was too loud, I didn't hear you clearly, say it again!"

"'Pluto' Rayleigh!"

Jinbe spoke confidently.

"I'm not talking about Rayleigh, I'm referring to what you said later..."

Neptune waved his hand at Jinbe and continued to ask.

"'Pluto' Rayleigh and the Celestial Dragons, the World's Nobles!"

Jinbe paused for a moment, then continued speaking.

"Quickly! Quickly invite the world's nobles in..."

Neptune sat up and hurriedly gave orders to Jinbe.

"Yes, yes, I will obey."

Jinbe seemed surprised that the title of a mere world noble could elicit such an exaggerated reaction from Neptune.

"You lot, go and invite Princess Otohime over. Be quick."

Immediately afterwards, Neptune gave instructions to the soldiers inside the palace.

"As ordered."

Despite their slight surprise, the soldiers followed Neptune's orders and headed toward the palace where Otohime was.

Not long after...

Upon learning of the Celestial Dragons' visit, Otohime eagerly appeared in the palace. Looking at Neptune on the throne, she anxiously asked, "Where are the Celestial Dragons? Where are they? I haven't seen them at all. I've heard that the Celestial Dragons wear strange clothes; I wonder if that's true or not?"

"They're still outside..."

"Otohime, think carefully about what you should say when you meet the Celestial Dragons!"

Seeing the flustered Otohime, Neptune couldn't help but offer some words of advice.

"Yes! You're right..."

"I can't break the rules of etiquette and leave them with a bad impression."

As she spoke, Princess Otohime picked up a scepter from the side and began to tidy her appearance.

the other side……

Outside the Dragon Palace.

Jinbe and Arlong, leading a group of Ryugu Castle soldiers, arrived beside 'Dark King' Rayleigh and his group. Looking at Rouge, Ace, and Amuro, who were surrounded by Rayleigh and CP0 members in the center, they softly said, "Distinguished guests! His Majesty Neptune requests your presence..."

"it is good."

Upon hearing this, Rouge smiled back at Jinbe and the others, and strode into the Dragon Palace.

"Let's go!"

As Rouge walked towards the interior of the Dragon Palace...

The pairings of Rayleigh with his guards Rouge and others followed closely behind.

Before long, the group entered the interior of the Dragon Palace...

Because the interior of the Dragon Palace is surrounded by giant bubbles, it has enough oxygen.

So here, Rouge and the others can take off their diving suits.

Out of courtesy, Rouge and the others simply turned off the oxygen generators on their diving suits and removed the transparent covers, silently breathing in the oxygen inside Ryugu Castle.

Meanwhile, as Rouge and the others walked towards the hall...

King Neptune and Queen Otohime have already had a deep conversation, and they are now eager to meet Rayleigh and the others.

Of course, the one I'm most eagerly anticipating is Otohime...

Compared to Princess Otohime, King Neptune seemed somewhat uneasy.

"Click..."

When the palace gates were pushed open...

As Rouge and the others entered the palace, their figures came into view of Otohime and Neptune.

Otohime immediately smiled and happily said, "Welcome! Distinguished world nobles~"

"Bang! Bang! Bang..."

The instant Princess Otohime finished speaking, a series of crisp percussion sounds rang out in the palace! Then, one mermaid after another appeared before everyone's eyes and began to sing with all their might, their beautiful voices lingering in everyone's ears...

"Hehe, you're really thoughtful~"

Seeing this, Rouge smiled gently at Otohime, which could be considered a compliment.

"Cough cough..."

"Then, esteemed nobles of the world!"

"May I ask what brings you here today?!"

At this moment, King Neptune coughed twice, his face trying to appear serious, and looked at Rouge and the others in front of him, asking questions.

"Our purpose in coming here should be the same as yours..."
