The gourmet among pirates

Robin sighed in his heart, but walked up to the timid Shirahoshi with a calm face.

Looking up at the fair-skinned and beautiful mermaid princess in front of him, he squinted his eyes and smiled from the bottom of his heart: "What a cute little girl!"

Robin, who has read a lot of literature, knows very well that every Poseidon, the emperor of the sea, is born with extremely huge mental power. They are born with the domineering power of knowledge and color.

In front of such a sensitive young girl, Robin knew exactly what she should do to win her favor.

as predicted.

After receiving a heartfelt compliment from Robin.

A blush of embarrassment appeared on Bai Xing's face. He swung his huge pink fish tail and hid behind Neptune. He seemed both curious and afraid. He secretly slipped out of Neptune's arms. Head, looking at Nico Robin curiously.

before coming.

Prince Kusei went to pick her up and excitedly told Shirahoshi everything.

Therefore, Bai Xing knew very well that Robin and Lord Enel, who was said to be in charge of thunder and lightning, were the great benefactors who rescued her from the demon Vander Daken IX.

However, Bai Xing, who was tortured by Vander Deken IX and frightened day and night, became even more cowardly in the past two years.

After meeting Robin just now, she actually wanted to thank Robin loudly for his great kindness to her.

But the cowardice that had been suppressed for a long time dispelled her courage, and she no longer had the courage to thank Robin in front of him.

He had no choice but to hide behind his father and look at Robin timidly.

Seeing Bai Xing's timid appearance, Neptune felt a little distressed, but he cheered up and encouraged:

"Bai Xing, weren't you and your brother clamoring to see this great benefactor just now? How come you are so shy that you don't even say hello when you meet someone? Come on, thank Aunt Robin in person... ····”

"Call me sister!"

Before Neptune could finish speaking, Robin immediately interrupted with a smile upon hearing the word aunt.

For some reason, Neptune, who was encouraging his daughter, felt a chill in his heart when he saw the smiling Robin.

It was as if something bad would happen if he continued to insist on calling Bai Xing Aunt Robin.

At this time, the words spoken by his wife, Princess Otohime, flashed across Neptune's mind.

"No matter what age a woman is, she is very concerned about what others say about her age!"

Could it be said that even someone like Mr. Robin cares about what others say about her age...

Neptune, who seemed to have guessed the truth, immediately changed his words:

"...Ahem, I made a mistake. Bai Xing wants to call Robin sister!"

After saying this, Neptune immediately felt the dangerous aura just now and moved away from himself.

[Huh, it’s actually really...]

While Neptune breathed a sigh of relief, he also felt a little bit dumbfounded.

Under his repeated encouragement, Bai Xing, who was pushed out from behind by Neptune, lowered his head and timidly whispered to Robin: "Sister Robin, thank you, thank you..."

After looking at the huge Shirahoshi, she made a timid mosquito voice that was completely inconsistent with her figure.

Robin frowned slightly and looked at Neptune.

It seems to be asking: "This child..."

Neptune shook his head towards Robin, and the light in his eyes seemed to dim a bit.

In Neptune's body language.

Robin seemed to understand something.

He took the initiative to step forward, entered the sight of Bai Xing with downcast eyes, and stretched out his hand to her...

Robin, who had read hundreds of psychological masterpieces, was deliberately comforted.

She quickly calmed down Bai Xing's uneasiness and became close to Bai Xing.

Soon.

The two beauties, one older and one younger, started chatting and laughing under the surprised gazes of Neptune, Shark Star and other princes who came over.

Seeing this, Bai Xing smiled at a stranger for the first time and responded in a low voice.

Neptune and Shark Star looked alike, and a hint of surprise flashed across their eyes.

Not far away, Eniro was biting into a sea cucumber that was similar to a cucumber but several times more watery. When he saw Nico Robin mingling with Shirahoshi, he curled his lips in disdain.

This woman...

But Enelu's eyes passed over Nico Robin and Bai Xing.

I always stay there for a few more seconds unconsciously.

Enel, who has mastered the Thunder Fruit and is extremely sensitive to the biological magnetic field, doesn't know why.

When he first glanced at Bai Xing, he seemed to be seeing a terrifying monster that could move the wind and rain, dozens or hundreds of times more powerful than him.

At that time, he was almost shocked.

But when he looked carefully, he found that it was just a timid little mermaid girl who didn't even dare to speak loudly.

In addition to inheriting his father's huge body shape, he also seems to have been born with the awakening of Haki.

This little girl didn't seem to be any different. Enelu even felt that he could kill her with a thunder spear.

At first, Enelu thought he was dazzled.

After all, he went back and forth with Xingang and felt it several times, but he didn't find anything different about Bai Xing.

But I don’t know why.

Enelu always felt that there was something extremely terrifying contained in the body of that timid mermaid princess.

Enelu subconsciously wanted to stay away from that timid little mermaid princess.

·······

After a banquet where guests and hosts enjoyed themselves.

A somewhat tired Shirahoshi was brought back to her hard-shell tower to rest.

Although the threat of Vander Deken IX has been eliminated, White Star does not seem to want to move out of the hard-shell tower.

Maybe the hard-shell tower that protected her for nearly two years gave her a sense of security that made her particularly attached to it.

After Bai Xing left, during the banquet, the ministers and key officials of the Dragon Bone Kingdom who were drunk and drunk slowly left the banquet hall with the support of the guards or maids.

Returned to his residence.

Even Enelu was introduced by Shark Star into a palace used to entertain distinguished guests.

Only Nico Robin and King Neptune did not leave.

Led by Neptune.

They came to a palace with a huge luminous pearl inlaid in the center of the roof. In the night, it still illuminated the entire room clearly visible.

After entering the room, Neptune casually swung a mermaid statue on a coral pillar, and the palace's only door quickly closed with a dull sound.

"boom!!!"

After closing the door to the room.

Neptune lit up some lamps in the palace to make the palace brighter.

He then turned to Nico Robin and asked: "Miss Robin, what you wanted to say to me just now can be said now. This palace is a quiet room specially built with special materials by the ancestors of our family. We can talk here. If you do this, the sound will not be heard at all. Even if someone is lying at the door and eavesdropping, they will not hear the slightest sound in the room."

After entering the door, Nicole Robin, who had been sizing up her surroundings, withdrew her gaze from the huge luminous pearl above her head.

He said sternly to Neptune: "Your Majesty Neptune must have figured out the identities of Enel and me by now!"

Hearing this, a hint of embarrassment flashed across Neptune's face, and then he nodded with some shame and said, "Sorry, Sir Robin, in order to find out the purpose of the two of you, I did send people to investigate the two of you before. identity."

Looking at Neptune who seemed a little ashamed, Robin's expression did not change at all, nor was he angry.

As the king of a country, Neptune would feel strange if he really ignored her and Enel's identity, who suddenly visited the Fish-Man Island and directly solved the mermaid royal family's most serious problem. .

Besides, although Robin made some disguises along the way, he had no intention of hiding his identity too much. They didn't even change their names.

Therefore, it was not surprising that Neptune could find out the identities of the two of them.

On the contrary, if Neptune really ignored their identities because of the so-called kindness, Robin would look down on Neptune.

After all, being the king of a country is different from being an ordinary father.

······

After taking the initiative to reveal his identity.

Robin asked Neptune: "Presumably, His Majesty Neptune must be wondering now why Enel and I appeared here and helped you solve the problem of Vander Deken IX." !”

Neptune nodded when he heard this, and said in a deep voice: "Yes, as far as I know, the Final Fortress and the World Government are now at war with each other. Both sides have gathered a large number of troops and strong men in the East China Sea, and they may start a desperate battle at any time. "

"At this time, Lord Robin and Lord Enel, who are the top powerhouses who can decide the outcome of a battle, should not leave the East China Sea even if they are not guarding the Final Fortress to guard against attacks from the World Government..." ···”

Halfway through, Neptune looked down at Robin, and then sighed and said: "If Sir Robin wants me, the Dragon Palace Kingdom, to send troops to help the Final Fortress, forgive me..."

Chapter 429 The Legend of the Mermaid Princess

"If Mr. Robin wants me, the Dragon Palace Kingdom, to send troops to help the Final Fortress, I'm sorry that I can't do anything."

After finishing speaking, Neptune sighed in shame.

"Sir Robin, you may not know that 200 years ago, after our Ryugu Kingdom became a member of the World Government, although it appeared to have a friendly relationship with the World Government and the Ryugu Kingdom was allowed to participate in the World Conference, in fact, humankind has The discrimination and hatred of the fishmen have not improved at all, but have even worsened."

"Even the world government intentionally or unintentionally suppresses our fish-men clan because of our status as a foreign race."

"It's okay if we fishmen don't send troops. Once we do send troops to assist your Final Fortress, I'm afraid it will not only not help your situation, but it will even make it worse."

"After all, we are fishmen..."

Having said this, King Neptune's face turned a little gloomy.

In addition to what Neptune said, there were some things that Neptune did not say that were even worse.

Because young female mermaids can fetch astonishingly high prices at human auctions, mermaids have been kidnapped by human pirates who have come to the island since ancient times.

After the "Great Age of Pirates" started, this situation became more prosperous. Many pirates passing through this place, some slave-catching teams at auctions, the army of a certain human kingdom, and even the navy had people who wanted to get that amazing treasure. In order to achieve their own interests, they launched a large-scale abduction and robbery of the fishmen and mermaids on the fishman island.

If it weren't for "Whitebeard" Edward Newgate, one of the "Four Emperors" a few years ago, because of the request of Namur and those fish-men warriors who left their homes and joined the Whitebeard Pirates to fight for Whitebeard, Announced that Fish-Man Island will be included in the territory of the Whitebeard Pirates.

Only those unscrupulous pirates and slave-catching teams dare not continue to invade Fish-Man Island.

At this time, I am afraid that in order to stop the raging pirates and slave-catching teams, the entire Ryugu Kingdom will have to do its best.

Even with the protection of the Whitebeard Pirates.

In the darkness outside the Dragon Palace Kingdom, there are still many shadows, hiding in the dark and ready to move.

It can be said that Neptune was already exhausted and exhausted from protecting Fish-Man Island.

Let him reinforce the Final Fortress far away in the East China Sea. He... really doesn't have that ability.

Otherwise, he would not have been able to deal with Vander Deken IX who was spying on his daughter.

·······

Facing Neptune's complaint, Robin on the side was also slightly surprised.

Because of the distance, although he had heard a little bit about the situation of the fish-men clan, he never thought that the situation of the fish-men clan would be so difficult now.

But Neptune was wrong about one thing.

After Robin chuckled, he said to Neptune:

"I think His Majesty Neptune has misunderstood. I didn't come to Mermaid Island to ask for help or anything."

"In fact, there won't really be any huge conflict between our Fortress of the End and the World Government. What you see is just us acting in a show with them at the request of the World Government. "

Facing Neptune, who had not awakened his lust for knowledge, Robin opened his eyes and lied without changing his expression.

"A show to coordinate with the World Government?"

Hearing this, Neptune looked suspicious.

The biggest news in the world not long ago was the falling out between the Fortress and the World Government.

The momentum of this incident was even greater than that of the World Government's alliance with the navy to annihilate the Beast Pirates.
