Then, a unique and strange emotion surged in my heart.

"It turns out that Marshal Xia Le also saw me last time!"

He naturally could not forget how terrifying this man's aura and weight were at that world conference.

He was a terrifying figure who silenced all the nobles in the world and even the legendary Knights of God and the CP organization were afraid of him.

"I didn't expect Marshal Xia Le still remembered me."

Neptune exclaimed.

Then he reacted and moved aside to lead the way forward.

"Please follow me to the Dragon Palace."

Hearing this, Xia Le nodded and looked at Fisher Tiger who was following behind Neptune. The latter saw his gaze and nodded heavily.

Suddenly, a smile appeared on Xia Le's face.

"Well, I'm sorry to bother His Majesty Neptune and everyone in the Dragon Palace Kingdom!"

Neptune was a little flattered: "You are so polite!"

Everyone set off immediately and headed towards the Dragon Palace Kingdom.

Along the way, Neptune and his people were somewhat surprised by Xia Le's talkativeness, and what surprised them even more was the gentle attitude of the young naval marshal.

This is a kind of kindness that is rarely felt from human beings. In the subtle words, they felt the word respect.

Neptune's originally nervous mood also relaxed slightly.

When passing the center of the island and seeing the White Beard flag hanging high up, Xia Le paused slightly, then pointed at the flag with a smile.

"It would be a dereliction of duty for a navy to let pirates protect your safety!"

"I apologize to Neptune and everyone on Fishman Island for the Navy's previous negligence!"

Neptune's heart trembled. He instinctively thought that the other party's words were more than just a hint, but after that, there was no other words.

Only then did I realize that Xia Le was just speaking casually, but the apology in his words was sincere.

Half a quarter of an hour later, everyone arrived at the Dragon Palace Kingdom.

The spacious hall was filled with various fruit plates, drinks, and food, exuding a strong aroma.

Neptune sat in the main seat, with an apologetic look on his face: "Due to the hasty preparation, the Dragon Palace Kingdom is rude!"

Xia Le, on the other hand, looked nonchalant: "Compared to these external aspects, the Navy cares more about His Majesty Neptune's attitude!"

"So, Vice Admiral Tiger represented me in discussing the matter with His Majesty. What is Your Majesty Neptune's opinion on it?"

Neptune was startled.

He didn't expect that the Admiral would be so anxious and get straight to the point.

After a brief pause, Neptune did not hesitate any longer.

"I am extremely grateful to Marshal Xia Le for taking care of Fishman Island."

"So, facing your proposal, I have no reason to refuse!"

After a pause, Neptune took another deep breath.

"For the peace of our fellow citizens on Fishman Island, and for friendship with humans."

"On behalf of the Ryugu Kingdom and Fishman Island, I am willing to cooperate with the Navy!"

Xia Le smiled, and the smile on his face grew bigger and bigger.

"Hahahahaha!"

"This banquet will surely be a very joyful one, Your Majesty Neptune!"

"Humans and fishmen will also coexist peacefully!"

Neptune nodded heavily.

He saw Xia Le raise his glass and a smile appeared on his face.

Once, he and Whitebeard drank a cup of wine together over the issue of Fishman Island, and asked the other party to divide Fishman Island as his territory.

This solved the problem of pirates and some navy constantly entering Fishman Island to cause trouble, but the root cause was not solved.

Now, he was sitting here, in front of a group of top navy leaders.

The young, strong and invincible Admiral of the Navy, the headquarters admiral Kizaru, Rossinante, the two lieutenant admirals Buggy, and Vice Admiral Fisher Tiger who also belongs to the fish-man clan.

It can be seen that almost all the people here are from Xia Le's faction.

That is to say, Fisher Tiger, a fishman, actually infiltrated the most powerful and powerful marshal faction in the navy.

This also means that in the future, the fish people will be able to get rid of their previous difficult situations.

Neptune's heart was beating fast, he was excited and excited, he even wanted to howl to the sky and cry loudly.

Glass of wine was raised and clinked, and the scene in front of him seemed a little hazy. A blurry figure walked towards him with a smile.

"Otohime!!!"

"Did you see it?"

"Your dream will come true on this day!"

"Fishman Island, from now on, has a future!!"

Neptune was howling and seemed to be a little drunk.

This scene made the originally lively banquet suddenly quiet.

The Crown Prince of Shark Star immediately looked at Xia Le who was sitting there, and Fisher Tiger even showed a hint of worry on his face.

Obviously, Neptune, the king of the Dragon Palace Kingdom, had lost his composure. In a formal occasion like today, such inappropriate behavior would undoubtedly affect the cooperation between the two parties. If Xia Le was angered, the consequences would be disastrous.

"Commander Xia Le."

Fisher Tiger couldn't help but shout out in worry, wanting to explain.

Neptune was still sitting there, in a trance, crying bitterly, and had completely forgotten that there were other people around him.

"Otohime, did you see that?"

He muttered something to himself.

Everyone looked at Xia Le, and when they noticed the other person's expression, they all showed worry and nervousness on their faces.

Because at this moment the smile on Xia Le's face had disappeared, replaced by a serious, gloomy expression.

A long time, a long time.

There was total silence at the banquet, except for the sound of Neptune crying and babbling.

"boom!"

The wine glass was slammed on the table.

Everyone's heart skipped a beat.

Shark Star's expression changed drastically, and a hint of despair appeared in his eyes.

"It's over, Marshal Xia Le is completely enraged!"

But at this moment, Xia Le slowly raised his head and looked at the drunk Neptune.

"Neptune!"

A loud shout.

Neptune woke up as if from a dream, and stood there in a daze, looking a little confused.

"Here, on behalf of the Navy, I assure you!"

"Mercemen will coexist peacefully with humans, seek common ground while reserving differences, and live together as equals!"

"As long as I, Xia Le, am still alive, this covenant between you and me will be carried out unwaveringly!"

Xia Le shouted in a deep voice, his voice solemn and loud.

Neptune's body trembled. Under the influence of alcohol, all kinds of complicated emotions burst out at this moment. Two tears flowed down his cheeks and dripped onto the sea.

Those sonorous and powerful words were a rock-solid promise in the eyes of all the fishmen present.

This promise made all the fishmen burst into tears and sob silently.

Xia Le's personal arrival is undoubtedly the greatest guarantee to dispel the doubts and hesitations of Fishman Island, Neptune and others.

After the banquet, the Dragon Palace Kingdom fell into a festive mood.

Xia Le will live here temporarily. After all, it was only a verbal confirmation during the banquet. Many specific matters still require the signing of a large number of documents to ensure the completeness of the alliance between the two parties.

For example, the amount of money that the Dragon Palace Kingdom provided to the navy, the navy dispatched elite troops to establish bases, the recruitment of mermen to form a navy, and so on.

Of course, these tasks will naturally be completed by his subordinates, and Xia Le does not need to worry about them.

At night, he sat quietly in the room arranged by Neptune himself, looking at the decoration that was obviously different from the land style, and felt very interesting.

The overall style is based on shells and conchs in the ocean, and the ceiling is made of some strange beads that emit bright light.

Furthermore, unlike the buildings on land, the rooms here are very large.

After admiring it for a while, Xia Le sat there and fell into deep thought.

"Finance is still a problem for the Navy today."

"Due to financial and logistical problems, we are unable to recruit troops on a large scale."

"Without being able to mobilize troops on a large scale, subsequent plans cannot be implemented."

"Here in the Dragon Palace Kingdom, as long as an agreement is signed, some of the pressure can be resolved."

"The other place is Brother Cobra's place."

"Alabasta will also be a strong backing behind me!"

Many years ago, a large number of soldiers had been secretly trained in Alabasta, and Barrett was even involved in this matter.

And in Arabstan, this huge group of soldiers is extremely reliable.

"It's time to plan for the new world!"

"Recruiting troops can be done step by step, slowly expanding the scale and scope."

Xia Le murmured.

Although the position of marshal is high and powerful, it is not easy to do because he needs to worry about everything.

After all, if you want to inherit the crown, you must bear its weight.

Xia Le believed that he could bear this weight and enjoyed the feeling.

Suddenly, his eyes turned and looked towards the door.

"Now that you're here, don't hide outside the door!"

As soon as he finished speaking, a cry came from outside the door.

Then, the person outside the door seemed to have experienced a very intense ideological struggle before he carefully pushed open the door.

Through the crack in the door, Xia Le saw a delicate, beautiful, but very large female face.

He was slightly stunned, then laughed.

"You are His Majesty Neptune's daughter, Princess Shirahoshi, right?"

As soon as he finished speaking, Xia Le waved his hand and the door opened.

The full appearance of Shirahoshi was also revealed in front of him. His body was huge, with the upper body of a human and the lower body of a fish.

The real legendary mermaid princess!

"You, you, you are Marshal Xia Le?"

Bai Xing blinked her big eyes, looking a little silly, but very cute.

"Come in, Princess Shirahoshi."

"I think you must have a lot of questions since you came here specifically?"

Xia Le said with a slight smile.
