I, a Celestial Dragon!

“Well, keep the banquet in mind, and report it to the ministers as soon as they return!

As for now, go and invite Jinbei to Ryugu Castle and tell him that I have something important to discuss with him!"

"Yes!"

The guards, who were generally three or four meters tall, took the order and left.

After the guards left, Neptune took Gawain and the other two to his palace to chat.

……

On Fishman Island, on the tallest giant coral in the bubble on Fishman Street.

The chubby Jinbei was wearing wooden clogs and pajamas, looking up at the sky with melancholy.

Just now, he saw King Neptune and the Celestial Dragons riding on a giant whale, flying across the sky in the distance over Fishman Street.

So Jinbei couldn't help but worry.

"Hey, I hope the arrival of the Celestial Dragons won't bring more harm to my country!"

He muttered, then lowered his head and looked towards Yumen Street.

Unlike most of the islands in Fishman Island, Fishman Street looks much more gloomy, and even the sunlight here seems dimmer.

At the same time, the style of the coral houses in Fishman Street is much more fierce than the houses on other islands.

Jinbei remembered that more than 20 years ago, Fishman Street was not what it is now. At that time, Roger had not died yet, and the Great Pirate Era had not begun.

At that time, there were not so many humans going to the bottom of the sea and rushing into the New World through the secret passage around Fishman Island.

Jinbei remembered very clearly that more than 20 years ago, if Fishman Island could receive a thousand human guests in a whole year, this passenger flow would have been very impressive.

Therefore, although there were pro-land and pro-ocean factions on Fishman Island at that time, overall, the conflicts among the fishmen in the past were very mild.

Later, the Great Pirate Era began, and countless people rushed to the New World. Fishman Island, located on the edge of the Grand Line and the only passage to the New World, became the target of countless pirates!

There are more and more humans. A few months after the Great Pirate Era began, Jinbe roughly calculated that more than 20,000 pirates would apply to land on Fishman Island every month!

The increasing number of pirates makes Fishman Island more and more difficult to manage. The pirates have committed many evil deeds, not only do they rob shops and extort money, they are also happy to kidnap mermaids and sell them on land!

Too many fishmen became slaves, so Brother Fisher Tiger led everyone to liberate a large number of the Celestial Dragon slaves.

Later, after the death of Brother Tiger, the pro-war and pro-peace factions on Fishman Island came into complete confrontation.

The confrontation was greatly eased after Princess Otohime appeared. Princess Otohime is such a gentle person. She was born with awakened Observation Haki, and her Observation Haki can also empathize with everyone.

That kind of observation Haki allows Princess Otohime to feel the emotions hidden in the hearts of other people, whether it is pain or happiness.

At the same time, Princess Otohime's observation Haki can also share her own feelings with other people.

She felt the pain of every merman, and then tried her best to make up for the loss in each merman's heart. She comforted countless families. What a good person she is.

Thinking of this, Jinbei let out a long sigh. It would be great if Princess Otohime was still alive.

If she were still alive, how could Fishman Street be like it is now, ready to launch a large-scale war at any time?

Look at the houses lined up in the distance. Various weapons are placed around each house.

Even when the fishmen in Fishman Street looked at each other, their eyes were filled with anger.

Such a Fishman Street makes Jinbe feel uneasy!

At this moment, Jinbei looked towards the bubble coating on the upper right, where several guards were coming in from the sky.

When the guards saw Jinbe, they all acted extremely familiar with him.

"Brother Jinbei!"

"Boss Jinbei."

"Sea Knight!"

After they greeted each one, they all spoke to Jinbe.

"His Majesty Neptune invites you to Ryugu Castle. He has something important to discuss with you!"

"Oh?"

Jinbei nodded and immediately stood up with his chubby body.

"I'll go right over with you!"

Chapter 48 Neptune's Children

Wearing a floating bubble, Jinbei walked in the air. After being allowed to pass by the soldiers of Ryugu Castle, he walked into Neptune's hall.

In the hall, besides the soldiers on duty, there were two maids who were recording Gawain and Musgarud's preferences. In front of the maids, Gawain kept talking about dishes that were not easy to eat in his previous life, such as live hairtail.

On the side, seeing Jinbei coming, Neptune nodded slightly to Gawain.

He did not stop Gawain from ordering food, but stood up and walked towards Jinbei after nodding.

Just after swimming two steps away, Jinpei bowed solemnly and saluted.

"Your Majesty, I am here. The important matter you mentioned..."

"Hohohoho, Jinbei, come on, come on!

Why are you bowing? Just look a little better. Why do you look so serious?

Come, I will take you to meet Gao Wensheng. You will never imagine what kind of person Gao Wensheng is!

Come quickly! "

Neptune interrupted Jinbei's greeting, then grabbed his arm and dragged him towards Gawain and others.

Seeing that Shinpei and others were getting closer, Gawain smiled and waved to the mermaid maids.

"That's it. Thank you for your hard work."

"ah?!!"

The mermaid maid was horrified.

"No, no, no, it's not hard, not hard at all!"

"Yes, sir, you have a very pretty smile!"

Not to mention the extremely excited mood of the maids, at this moment, Jinbei couldn't help but reveal a look of surprise.

He is not like those young people like Hody Jones in Fishman Street. Those kids are frogs in the well who have never left Fishman Island.

How could he, who had sailed on the sea for many years, not know what the Celestial Dragons were like!

But... the Celestial Dragons would actually smile gently and say thank you for your hard work?

Jinbei couldn't help but look at Neptune, and Neptune showed a relieved expression as if it was as he expected.

At one side, two maids retreated with red faces. As soon as they walked out of the hall, they hugged each other.

"God of the sea, Lord Gawain actually said thank you for your hard work!"

"This gentleman is really different!"

In the hall, after the maid left, Neptune pulled Jinbei to stand in front of Gawain's sofa and introduced him enthusiastically.

"Gao Wensheng, this burly and strong fishman is the Sea Knight Jinbei I told you about!

Come here, Jinbe, this is my friend, the celestial dragon from Marijoa, Gawain!

That is Saint Musgarud."

After Neptune's introduction, Jinbei did not hesitate and immediately planned to kneel down to Gawain.

This is not a ceremonial kneeling on one knee. When Jinbei was a pirate on land, he would occasionally encounter Celestial Dragons passing by.

He was kneeling on the ground at that time!

At the top, seeing Jinbei kneeling decisively, Di Yuan, who was standing silently behind Gawain, narrowed his eyes in satisfaction.

In her opinion, since her colleague was so respectful from the beginning, he should not cause any trouble to the team in the future.

As for Jinbei's identity as a pirate, that's nothing. Apart from having followed Fisher Tiger, Jinbei has no other criminal record.

As for Gawain, he knelt down quickly and stood up even more quickly.

While standing up immediately, Gawain quickly stepped on the water-blocking film and came to Jinbei.

Jinbei knelt there with his head lowered and spoke softly to Gawain.

"My name is Jinbei, and I'm honored to meet Saint Gao Wen and Saint Musgarud."

"Haha, it's enough to have seen it, hurry up and get up, man!"

Gawain laughed and reached out his hand to Jinbei. He lifted Jinbei's right arm and pulled the muscular and chubby man to stand up.

After Jinbei stood up in astonishment, Gawain patted Jinbei's arm and sighed.

"As expected of a strong man that Neptune specially recommended to me. Look at these strong arms!"

Having said this, Gawain turned around and winked at the mansion.

"Diyuan, how long do you think it will take me to surpass Jinbe?"

"Sir, why do you always want to surpass a strong man every time you meet him?"

Di Yuan teased, then stood behind Gawain. Looking at Jinbei's slightly surprised brow, Di Yuan nodded and greeted him.

"Long time no see, Sea Knight Jinbei!"

"It's been a long time since we last met, Vice Admiral Diyuan. The last time we met, you were still hunting down Doflamingo!"

Jinbei agreed and then smiled, whether it was Gawain's relaxed attitude or Dien's gentle smile.

Jinbei already knew that the Celestial Dragons who came this time were definitely not traditional Celestial Dragons, and this was enough to put his mind at ease.

Seeing Jinbei speak, Gawain released his arm and continued speaking to Neptune.

"Now that Jinbei is here, let's chat for a while."

"Yes."

Neptune waved his hand, and the guards in the palace immediately retreated. In the huge palace, only Neptune, Jinbei, Diyuan, Musgarud and Gawain were left.

Gao Wen was not polite either. He took the main seat and asked everyone to sit down.

Jinbe sat down thoughtfully, and then Neptune explained to Jinbe all the plans they had discussed before.

After a few minutes, Jinbei suddenly realized.

"So, Your Majesty has decided to work with Gao Wensheng to uncover the mastermind behind the assassination of Princess Yiji five years ago!"

Jinbei was a little excited. Warriors like him who came from the common people and constantly traveled were generally particularly fond of superiors like Princess Otohime, who came from a high-ranking family but was kind and approachable.

Jinbei simply slammed the table.

"I support your majesty's decision. The cause of Princess Otohime's death should not be determined so simply!"

After he finished speaking, Jinbei raised his fists towards Takafumi.

"Gao Wensheng, I didn't expect that Princess Yiji actually had friends like you and Musgarud Saint. Since even you are willing to take the risk yourself, of course I will support you without hesitation!"

Having said this, Jinbei was unambiguous. He stood up and walked directly in front of Gawain.

"From now on, I will always be by Gao Wensheng's side. I will shoulder the responsibility of your safety on Fishman Island. Unless the enemy steps over my body, you will not be harmed at all!"

"Haha, don't be so serious, sit down."

Gawain waved his hand and spoke gently to Jinbe.

"I have never worried about my safety. There are not many people who have the courage to attack me, and even fewer who are capable of breaking through your and Di Yuan's defense.

However, I hope you don't focus on finding out the truth. I want to know your opinion on the plan of the fishmen landing!"

As he spoke, Gawain gently rubbed the right side of his jaw, and then he continued.

“I definitely don’t know Fishman Island better than you do. Even though Neptune is the king of Fishman Island, he probably doesn’t know much about the thoughts of the common people.

Jinbe, you have always been among the common people, so do you think this proposal can gain the support of the majority of fishmen?

If this proposal does not gain the support of the majority, then my proposal may not be taken seriously by the manipulators behind the scenes. We must create an environment where most of the fish people have decided to relocate, and relocation has become inevitable. "

"Uh……"
