Pirates: Become invincible from capturing the Navy Goddess.

The fishman girl covered her red face and swam away quickly.

"What are you doing if you are so shy? Really."

Lin Qi shook his head and continued walking towards the palace.

In addition, Lynch noticed that the atmosphere on Fish-Man Island was very wrong.

Most shops have their doors and windows tightly closed, and there are only a few mermaids on the street who come out to buy food.

There are surprisingly many pirates.

The alleys and under the eaves were filled with fierce-looking pirates.

They are recharging their strength in preparation for the upcoming war.

When he saw Lin Qi, he just looked at him briefly and ignored him.

As long as they are not members of the Whitebeard Pirates, they will not take action.

Auntie once gave them an order not to harm the innocent residents on the island, but to keep them to make desserts for herself.

So the mermaids are safe.

……

That night.

In the palace in the center of Fish-Man Island, Lynch received a warm reception.

Neptune, Princess Otohime, and their three sons all attended the dinner to show respect for the guests.

Looking at Neptune, who was 12 meters tall, and then at Princess Otohime, who was only a little over meters tall, Lynch's brain seemed to be shut down.

Therefore, a six-fold difference in body size is equivalent to a man who is 30 meters tall marrying a wife who is only cm tall.

How did they give birth to three sons and one daughter...

Can I go in...

"Hahahahaha, guests from afar, please come and taste our unique wine on Fish-Man Island."

Neptune's loud voice echoed in the banquet hall, and the fish-man lady held a wine bottle and filled Lynch's glass.

"Thank you, King."

Lynch picked up the wine glass and took a sip.

"Keke, I didn't expect that Brother Lin Qi already has considerable strength at such a young age. He is really a hero from a young age."

Princess Otohime covered her lips with her long sleeves and smiled softly.

"Princess is overrated, I'm just an ordinary navy officer." Lynch said modestly.

"Tch, he seems to be about the same age as us, what ability can he have?"

"This is obviously a random person sent by the Navy to deal with us."

The three princes looked at Lin Qi, who was almost the same age as themselves, with dissatisfied expressions on their faces.

Apparently they don't think they need to be protected.

"Asshole! You are not allowed to be rude to guests!"

Neptune scolded sternly.

"Aren't we right? Father, you are nothing more than giving face to the World Government."

"What's the use of handing over heavenly gold to the World Government every year! If something really happens, I'll send a young man like this to deal with you!"

The three princes threw their chopsticks, turned away angrily, and exited the banquet.

"Bastards! These three bastards are making me so angry."

Neptune looked painful and covered his heart, slumped in his seat.

"Quick, go get the medicine for the King!"

The attendants were busy for a while before feeding Neptune the medicine.

Chapter 74 Poisoning

"Cough cough cough cough..."

Neptune coughed violently, and then recovered as the medicine took effect.

"Sorry, I'm rude."

A caring mermaid lady swam up and wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth with a handkerchief.

"Mr. Lynch, please forgive Shark Star and the others for their offense. I apologize to you on their behalf."

Princess Otohime leaned down to apologize.

She is well aware of the current situation on Fish-Man Island, and the navy must not be offended.

It would be good if this young man had a lot of energy, but it would be bad if he was a weakling.

"Princess, please get up quickly. Don't worry about trivial matters."

His frown never relaxed.

Lynch clearly remembered that Neptune in the original book was called the Great Knight of the Sea and was in extremely good health.

Now, why do you look like a consumption ghost?

"Princess, do you remember when the king started having this problem?"

Princess Otohime lowered her eyes and thought for a moment, "It was about three months ago."

"It's strange to say that Neptune was in good health before that, but suddenly he became like this."

"Have you ever seen a doctor?"

"I've looked it up and the doctor said it's fine. It may be that I'm working too hard and I need more rest."

"Princess, if you believe me, find someone you trust to check on the king's personal attendant."

When the sun shines, you know yin and yang and understand changes.

In his field of vision, Neptune's kidneys were dim.

Kidney represents water among the five elements.

Apparently something went wrong with the water Neptune drank, causing kidney failure.

There are only many guards who can come into contact with Neptune's drinking water every day.

"You mean..."

Princess Otohime's expression changed, as if she had thought of something.

"Yes, I suspect someone poisoned it."

"The princess must not make this matter public. She should find a trusted person to carry out the matter secretly to prevent any unexpected events."

"Ah."

Seeing that what Lin Qi said was convincing, Princess Otohime believed it.

She has also been suspecting something strange about Neptune's disease these days, but unfortunately no matter how many doctors she calls, the result is the same.

"I have a person I absolutely trust here, and he saved my life during an assassination."

Not long after Princess Otohime said these words, Lynch saw the fishman Tiger, whom he had not seen for many years.

This guy is indeed not dead!

Fishman Tiger doesn't know the current Lynch, he only knows the masked Nighthawk from back then.

Seeing Lynch staring at him, Taylor thought his identity as a wanted criminal had been discovered and almost took action.

Fortunately, Princess Otohime intervened.

"I see that Your Excellency has a righteous heart, and I hope that Tiger's affairs will not be revealed."

Princess Otohime also saw Lin Qi's warning, so she let Tiger out without hesitation.

In addition, Princess Otohime has a very special sense of knowledge.

She can hear the hearts of all things to a certain extent.

For those who have more knowledge than her, she can also perceive the good and evil of the other party.

The sight tells Princess Otohime that Lin Qi has no ill intentions in his heart.

But...this man seems to be very interested in her daughter, Xiaobai Xing?

"I will, Princess."

Lynch smiled and nodded at Tiger.

"This guy...have I seen it somewhere?"

After muttering quietly, Tiger went down to perform the task.

The life of Fishman Tiger can only be described as legendary.

He was born in the most chaotic slum and could not even eat enough to eat every day, but he was able to become the fish man he is today, even the royal family treats him with courtesy.

In the past few decades, he has been the boss of a slum, established a pirate group, and traveled across the sea.

He has fought against the navy, fought against pirates, fought against the World Government, and even boarded Mariejoia.

Be the first hero to rescue the slaves from Mariejoia.

He has come into contact with all kinds of evil people and good people, and his life experience can be said to be rich.

Under Taylor's experienced torture, the poisoner was found out in just a few minutes.

"I was wrong, I was wrong, I shouldn't have poisoned the King, please spare me!"

"I don't dare anymore. Everything was done by Hody Jones. He forced me to do it!"

"My family is in their hands and I dare not violate it. I'm sorry, Your Majesty the King!"

Neptune looked at the servant who had served him for more than ten years and sighed deeply.

"It's that bastard Hody Jones again!"

Tiger's face was shaking with anger.

They did not know that the assassination of Princess Otohime was also carried out by Hody Jones.

But they knew that this guy, with his abnormal hatred for humans, had betrayed Fish-Man Island and became a traitor to Fish-Man Island.

The huge weapon that is inserted into the White Star's special door from time to time is the handiwork of Hody Jones and his companion, Vander Deken IX, using the target fruit.

"Tiger, don't be angry, let him finish."

Princess Otohime calmed everyone present with a gentle tone, "I know that you are also a victim in this matter. As long as you tell the truth, I will ask Neptune for leniency."

"Thank you, thank you, Princess!"

The fishman kowtowed several times before telling the truth.

It turns out that since Hody Jones failed to assassinate Princess Otohime last time, he has been planning how to make Fishman Island hate humans again.

In a lucky black market transaction, he obtained a strange medicine similar to the "evil medicine".

It is different from taking a vicious medicine in exchange for short-term strength at the expense of lifespan.

This drug is colorless and odorless and has no effect on other races, but it is a fatal threat to fish-men.

The most important thing is that doctors can't detect it.

If there is anyone who can draw hatred from humans, besides Princess Otohime, it must be Neptune.

So Hody Jones made a strict plan.

When Neptune was about to die, Hody Jones stepped forward and took out the antidote. While gaining the trust of the royal family, he poured dirty water on humans.

With this experience of saving the king, Hody Jones's reputation will greatly increase on Fish-Man Island. By then, even if Neptune is in trouble again, there will be no doubt about him.

Since the fishman is just a subordinate, he only knows so much.

But it’s not difficult for everyone to guess what happens next.
