Pirate: I have a Hollow living inside me

Seeing Neptune's expression change slightly, Lox waved his hand: "I really didn't mean any harm. If I did, I wouldn't say 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.

True Bloom is a killer move!

This works great!

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

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

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

Because of a prophecy by Mrs. Shirley!

In addition, Roger Hayford had also reached Laugh Tale and was someone 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 historical 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 has no sense of accomplishment and no joy in solving puzzles at all!

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

Seeing Robin's look, Lockes shrugged and said: You didn't ask either!

"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 stepped in to take the blame, and Larry had indeed mentioned this matter 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 have no way to 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 can only stay in the Hard Shell Tower to avoid danger...

They hid 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 so often, that Vander Deiken IX uses 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 filled with bitterness: "They call it 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 moment during those six years..."

Chapter 207 Mermaid Princess Shirahoshi! And what the heck is Lord Xiao Luo?

"Such heinous behavior..."

Ichisho is a person with a strong sense of justice. After hearing about Shirahoshi's ordeal, his face darkened: "Just because of his own purposes, he caused a child to suffer so much..."

To confine a child to one place for six years.

Just thinking about it makes him furious!

More importantly... an adult proposing to a minor?

It was so wicked that words could hardly describe it; even his smile rarely revealed anger!

Nami, being a very compassionate person, said indignantly, "How can there be such a vile person? This kind of person must go to hell!"

Robin, on the other hand, was more rational. She asked, "In six years, didn't you try to find the killer?"

Neptune shook his head: "That guy is extremely cautious. He'll hide at the slightest sign of trouble. Finding someone in this deep sea is incredibly difficult..."

Jinbe spoke in a deep voice: "I tried to find their whereabouts, and searched for more than half a month, but I still couldn't find them..."

10,000 meters deep in the ocean.

Except for some special places, it is usually pitch black and you can't see your hand in front of your face.

Furthermore, due to the obstruction of the seawater, the Observation Haki cannot spread too far.

Finding someone's whereabouts is extremely difficult.

Moria glanced at Jinbe, shook his head, and said, "Even the Fish-Man 'Hero' can't find him? Looks like he's a tough nut to crack..."

'This is a bit difficult...'

Rocks originally wanted to get rid of Vander Decken IX so that Fishman Island would owe him another favor.

Now that I hear it, that guy probably won't be so easy to deal with.

In the original story, the enemy would only be defeated if they took the initiative to show themselves.

If they don't show up, it won't be easy to find them...

Rocks counted on his fingers, pondering, 'I wonder if Nami and Issho's Observation Haki can detect the opponent's aura...'

Nami and Issho's Observation Haki has an extremely wide range due to the power of their Devil Fruits.

Covering a small to medium-sized island is an easy task.

The range of Observation Haki in ordinary people is reduced by the obstruction of seawater, but Issho and Nami's Observation Haki is quite special.

One is related to "gravity sources," and the other is related to "bioelectric waves"...

Perhaps it can be unaffected by the seawater?

Rocks looked at Nami and Issho: "Nami, Issho, with the seawater blocking the way, how far can your Observation Haki spread?"

Yi Xiao replied, "The water pressure at a depth of 10,000 meters is extremely strong, which will affect my perception using Observation Haki, which is combined with my abilities."

"If I were in the deep sea, the range of my Observation Haki wouldn't be very wide."

"Seawater interferes with the transmission of bioelectric waves, making it difficult for me to pinpoint a particular 'sound'."

Nami nodded and said, "However, the range is much farther than on land."

She didn't know the specific reason either.

However, she had previously tried to spread her Observation Haki when she was in the deep sea.

The coverage area is much farther than on the sea!

"Ah."

Rocks nodded.

But what was on his mind was whether Nami had any chance of finding out where the other person was...

Besides Observation Haki, Nami also has another special "sensory" ability.

If we're talking about who's most likely to find Vander Decken IX, then there's no doubt it's Nami.

He wanted to get Shirahoshi out of her predicament.

Now that the plot has changed dramatically because of him, Vander Deiken IX may not necessarily walk into the trap.

Shirahoshi's fate might be even worse than in the original story...

"..."

Judging from what Lockes said, he might very well help find Vander Deiken IX...

This gave Neptune a jolt, and he asked expectantly, "Your Excellency... is it possible for you to find their whereabouts?"

If the Blackwing Demon Lord's gift can help White Star escape his predicament, he is willing to pay any price he can!

Rocks said, "There is a possibility. Nami's Observation Haki has a wide coverage area, so she may be able to find the other party's whereabouts."

"We will stay on Fishman Island for some time and help with the search during that time."

Rocks's purpose was to make Fishman Island owe him a lot of favors.

Besides, Rocks also liked Shirahoshi in his previous life and didn't want her to be trapped forever...

Neptune said solemnly, "I'm sorry to trouble you, Your Excellency. If we can help Shirahoshi out of this predicament, we are willing to pay any price!"

Jinbe solemnly replied, "Although it may be a bit shameless of me to say this, if it can help little Shirahoshi escape her predicament, I am willing to risk my life for you all if necessary!"

To him, Shirahoshi was like a niece.

He felt very bad seeing his niece trapped in the hard shell tower.

Moreover, he already owes Blackwing Demon Lord Haizi F a lot of favors, so owing one more wouldn't hurt. If needed, he's willing to go through fire and water for Blackwing Demon Lord Haizi F!

"We'll talk about that later."

Rocks waved his hand: "Let's go see Shirahoshi first."

If he could, he certainly wouldn't stand idly by.

However, if they cannot capture Vander Deiken IX during this period of time here.

He didn't have time to stay here any longer.

I'll just remember this and try to deal with it when I'm more capable and powerful in the future.

"Please come this way, everyone."

Neptune nodded.

He led Rocks and a few others toward Shirahoshi's "residence".

Before long, Rocks and his party arrived at the Hard Shell Tower.

Everyone looked on.

This is a building with marks left by various weapons on its exterior, and various sharp weapons are stuck in the top of the huge door...

Looking at the "battered" tower, Nami snorted again and said, "That guy is really despicable!"

How can anyone live in a place like this?

That Vander Deiken IX is absolutely despicable!

"..."

Neither Guina nor Robin said a word.

The dilapidated state of the building speaks volumes about Princess Shirahoshi's ordeal.

That fishman named Vander Deiken IX was indeed a wicked fellow, treating a little girl like that...

"We also want to eliminate them, but we can't find their whereabouts..."

Neptune sighed.

He then looked around, and only after confirming that no weapons were flying towards him did he approach the gate, take out the key, and unlock it...

As if hearing a noise, a soft, pleasant voice came from inside the gate:

"Huh, it's not mealtime yet. Are Father and my brothers here?"
