I, a Celestial Dragon!

Di Yuan was a little depressed. During the more than one hour of communication before, she really liked Bai Xing, a big kid who was as simple as a blank sheet of paper.

Di Yuan couldn't bear to see a girl like this being threatened by weapons flying from the sky at any time.

And Gawain.

He thought for a moment, then turned to look at Dabai who was curled up beside Di Yuan.

Facing Shirahoshi's big eyes with huge drops of water constantly dripping from them, Gawain said to Shirahoshi hesitantly.

"I felt before that giving you just a few sets of scrolls as a gift was a bit too light, so do you want me to make up for it with a few gifts?"

"what?"

Bai Xing was a little confused, she thought Lord Gawain was going to tell her something about Vander Decken.

The expected question turned into this one, and although Shirahoshi was confused, he quickly shook his head.

"No... no, the painting that the adults gave me is really great. The sunshine and forest there are beautiful scenes that I have never seen with my own eyes!"

“You will see those sights with your own eyes in the future, but that will take some time.

As for now, I will give you some freedom.

Don’t refuse! ”

After he finished speaking, Gawain turned his head and looked at Neptune seriously.

"Neptune, my dear friend, do you think Shirahoshi is suitable to be my wife?"

"Of course...wait, what are you talking about?!!"

Neptune instinctively wanted to agree with Gawain the previous second, but the next second, he immediately reacted, what the hell is going on? ! !

The friend I just made suddenly wants to be my son-in-law!

In other words, the Celestial Dragons are trying to steal someone's daughter!!!

Looking at the shocked Neptune, Gawain smiled slightly, then clapped his hands gently.

"Hasn't Vander Decken IX always been pursuing Shirahoshi?

Haven't you been chasing VanderDeken?

He can't catch up with Shirahoshi, and you can't catch up with him either. The longer this situation lasts, the longer Shirahoshi will suffer!

So why don't we turn the situation around?"

Having said that, Gawain turned around and pointed at Shirahoshi, who was so shocked that he couldn't speak.

"Will placing Shirahoshi in a hard-shell tower without any windows really make her feel safe? I can't feel any sense of security from Shirahoshi.

Different from passive protection, only by taking the initiative and solving the problem of Vander Decken once and for all can White Star be truly safe!

Since he wants to be Shirahoshi's husband, then I will give Shirahoshi a husband!

From now on, Neptune, spread the news that I want to marry Princess Shirahoshi throughout the ocean! "

"But...but..."

Neptune already understood Gawain's meaning, but whether he understood it or not, why was this decision so difficult to make?

Gawain did not give Neptune time to think. Seeing Neptune's hesitation, Gawain smiled secretly in his heart and spoke directly.

"Why are you still hesitating? What about your responsibility as a father?

At this point, apart from the method I mentioned, do you think there is any other trap that can catch the cunning Vanderdecken?

Don't hesitate here, just do as I say. I will take advantage of the banquet to announce the news that I am asking for Princess Shirahoshi's hand in marriage!

It just so happens that we were still thinking about what excuse we could use to provide a suitable reason for me to help you get on land.

Now, isn’t this the best excuse!

Because the Celestial Dragon Gawain, that is, I, am deeply attracted to Shirahoshi, so a foolish and lustful Celestial Dragon would rather support the fish people to move to the land, in order to get Princess Shirahoshi!

This kind of thing is probably absolutely unacceptable to both Vander Decken and the mastermind behind it!

As a celestial dragon, I made such a decision for a woman. Don't they have any reason not to believe it?

With any luck, Neptune, we might be able to solve both problems at once!"

After he finished speaking, Gawain slammed the table heavily, looked at Neptune, whose eyes were obviously moved but still hesitant, and stood up directly.

As he walked towards Neptune, Gawain continued to place weights on the scale in Neptune's heart.

I just heard him say it heavily.

"If you have a better way, tell me now.

If not, I hope you try to consider your fatherhood as much as possible!

What's more, Shirahoshi is only eleven years old, and the so-called marriage talk is just a bait we threw for Vander Decken. Do you think I'm really such a lustful person that I wouldn't even let go of a child?

Or is it that my and Shirahoshi's temporary reputation is more important than her future freedom and happiness?"

"I……!"

After hearing what Gawain said, Neptune's heartstrings were really relaxed. On the one hand, Gawain's method was simple and practical. On the other hand, Gawain said that he was not a lustful person, which made Neptune let down his greatest guard.

He stood up along with Gawain and nodded crisply.

"Your method is indeed a good one. I...I can do as you say!"

At this moment, Neptune's four children were stunned.

Sharkstar: Ayukori thief?

Royal Star: Walter?

Rollover Star: White Star has grown up...

Shirahoshi: Knot, knot, knot... pound, pound, pound...? !!

While the four children were stunned, Gawain turned to Neptune and gave him a deep smile.

"I knew that you should be a rational person, Neptune, because my advice would not cause harm to anyone.

I……"

"Wow ah ah ah!!!"

Before Gao Wen could finish his words, Bai Xing behind him suddenly burst into tears.

While wailing, Shirahoshi sobbed and shouted in disbelief.

"How can father agree to this? I don't even want to get married. Woohoo! Woohoo!!!!

I haven’t seen land, I haven’t seen sunshine, I haven’t seen forests and furry animals, and I haven’t gone to pay tribute to my mother yet.

How can you get married so suddenly? Wuwuwuwuwu~."

Hearing this, Diyuan beside Shirahoshi burst into laughter, and even Jinbei on the other side couldn't help but roll his eyes.

Gao Wen turned around helplessly, looked up at the crying Bai Xing, and continued to speak helplessly.

"Uncle is joking with you, the marriage and all that are fake.

You are only eleven years old. Your uncle must be crazy to have any intention of taking advantage of you.

Please stop crying, Shirahoshi. After the party is over, your uncle will take some time to take you on a land tour. How about that?

This is all fake, a scheme to seduce Vanderdecken. You are not old enough to get married, Shirahoshi!"

"Hey?"

Bai Xing was stunned. She immediately stopped crying and trembled. She blinked her big eyes and looked at Gao Wen cunningly.

After a moment, Bai Xing waved the sea water on her face to wash away her tears, then she lowered her head and clasped her hands in front of her chest.

She spoke to Gawain with a little shyness and caution.

"Then... then you must keep your word, Lord Gawain.

You must take me on a land tour~

I..., if you can take me to the sea, then I... I will be so happy that I can't cry~."

Having said this, Shirahoshi tilted her head, and her long pink hair spread out along the sea water, floating softly behind her head, turning the color of the sea water into a lovely pink.

Looking at the girl in front of him who was full of expectations, looking at the little desire in Bai Xing's eyes, and a little bit of shyness left from before.

Gawain took a deep breath.

Although this child is huge, although he is too young, although his tail is a fish, although there are countless althoughs.

But...but...she was really too foul!

At this moment, Gawain finally understood why Shirahoshi was called one of the two most beautiful women in the world by the people in the One Piece world!

A slender waist, a charming fish tail, a sympathetic temperament, and innocent eyes.

Those Gawain couldn't see.

All Gao Wen could see was that when the innocent White Star looked at someone, that person was the only one in her eyes!

And now, Bai Xing only has eyes for him!

Gawain exhaled heavily, shook his head hard, then nodded and said.

"Okay, as long as you don't cry, I will definitely take you on a land tour.

As for now, well, everyone sit down, I haven't had enough of the Dragon Palace's refreshments.

Like I said, I'm not really asking for Shirahoshi's hand in marriage, this is just a fun play, Vanderdecken and the man behind the scenes, they are our audience and prey!"

After he finished speaking, Gawain abandoned the reverie in his mind and focused on the tea in his hand.

And his calm look now made Diyuan and Jinbei on both sides of him look at him with admiration!

As for White Star.

The little girl's face was red, and her eyes kept glancing at Gawain's figure.

As a result...she always just glanced at him briefly and then timidly retracted her head.

Chapter 53 Awe

At this small gathering before the banquet...

As the master, Neptune agreed to all of Gawain's decisions and took out all the special pastries of Ryugu Castle. He not only called out his son and daughter, but also sent Jinbe to Gawain.

As a guest, Gawain promised to solve the problem of Vander Decken IX for Fishman Island and also came up with a practical solution. Not only did he want to investigate the true cause of death of the previous princess of the Ryugu Kingdom, he also planned to help Fishman Island realize the dream they have been pursuing for hundreds of years and reach the land!

No matter the host or the guests, they all did their best. Logically, this small gathering before the banquet should have been a great success.

But I don’t know since when did things become like this?

Gawain looked left and right. Everyone in the hall looked at him with something amiss!

Forget about Bai Xing, the look in this girl's eyes is indescribable. If I have to say it, she is probably the first figure in each of our hearts. We always forget what day it is today, but we always remember the day when we first met her.

Apart from Shirahoshi, Neptune's eyes always looked at him inexplicably, which made Gawain very uncomfortable.

As for the three Shark Star brothers, the other two brothers are okay, but Shark Star's eyes really look a bit like a killer.

When we got to the left and right sides, Di Yuan on the left was supporting her chin with one hand, with a big auntie smile on her face.

Jinbei on the right, although his eyes are clear, his gaze keeps cycling between Shirahoshi and Gawain.

Even at the end, Jinbei actually added Diyuan to the group being watched.

Diyuan, Gao Wen, Bai Xing...

Jinbei's gaze kept shifting. He said nothing, yet it seemed as if he had said everything.

So the garden...

She was still smiling like an auntie the previous second, and the next second she noticed Jinbei's searching eyes.

Di Yuan was stunned, what does this have to do with me? ! !

I ate so much watermelon that I became a melon? ! !

In this increasingly weird atmosphere, the palace door was pushed open again, and ministers from both sides walked in together.
