"Monkey D. Luffy: 'Why do I suddenly want to meet Shirahoshi??'"
Looking at this sudden outburst from Luffy, even Luffy himself felt surprised!
From his side...
It was because he saved Shirahoshi's pet midway that he was invited to the Ryugu Palace.
Then Luffy was attracted by the smell of food to the Shell Tower where Princess Shirahoshi was.
Only then did he meet Princess Shirahoshi.
But Luffy from that side, ever since entering Fish-Man Island, had never had any contact with Shirahoshi. Why would he suddenly want to meet Shirahoshi?
Nami: "That's right! This is too sudden!!!"
Shirahoshi: "Mister Luffy from that side wants to meet me too? That's great!!! I from that side can also be saved, right...!"
Vinsmoke Sanji: "Rest assured, beautiful Miss Shirahoshi, you will definitely be saved!!!"
[ "Mermaid Princess????" ]
[ Hearing that Luffy wanted to go to Ryugu Palace, everyone present was utterly confused~ ]
[ "Hey, hey! Luffy, do you know the Mermaid Princess?" Nami asked suspiciously. ]
[ Luffy shrugged his two hands, pouting and saying: "How could I possibly know the Mermaid Princess? I don't even know if this generation's Fish-Man Island King has a daughter..." ]
[ Nami opened her mouth: "Then why...?" ]
[ "The information we got from that historical Poneglyph in Skypiea mentioned that the Sea King appears once every few hundred years. And the last Sea King died 800 years ago. If, according to the information on the historical Poneglyph, it appears once every few hundred years, then it should have appeared by now, shouldn't it?!" ]
[ "Of course, it's also possible that it has already appeared, but Fish-Man Island kept it a secret. The Mermaid Princess has already aged and died~" ]
[ "However, I want to try my luck. Is this generation's Mermaid Princess the Sea King?" ]
[ Luffy explained: "~~~" ]
[ Sengoku: "Sea King?? No way...! No wonder after Whitebeard's final gaze, those Sea Kings voluntarily dragged Noah, thereby saving Fish-Man Island. Now it seems... this is not a coincidence!!" ]
Although the Red Luffy only guessed that Shirahoshi was the Sea King, the viewers just watched the Whitebeard video. Connecting it now, they immediately discovered something terrifying!!
Hody Jones: "No! Princess Shirahoshi is not the Sea King! Those Sea King types just happened to pass by!"
As the captain of the Fish-Man Pirates, Hody Jones naturally knew that Shirahoshi was the Sea King!!!
But this matter was a secret that he absolutely had to protect with his life!
Just now, when he was watching the Whitebeard video, he was very worried that Shirahoshi's identity as the princess would be exposed.
Although the Whitebeard video finally showed the scene where giant Sea Kings dragged Noah, what made Hody Jones feel fortunate was that Whitebeard himself had pointed out those Sea Kings were caused by Shirahoshi.
He originally thought that Princess Shirahoshi's move to escape was insignificant, but he never expected that Red Luffy would directly make such a guess based on already known information!!!
Red Luffy's guess was not scary. What was scary was that once something like this was hinted at, people from this side would start thinking in that direction...
And then, based on the clues from the Whitebeard video, it was very possible to deduce that Shirahoshi was the Sea King!
For example, Sengoku right now, he immediately guessed it!
Monkey D. Luffy: "Nani? Shirahoshi is the Sea King?"
The current Luffy hadn't even arrived at Fish-Man Island yet. What he just saw was only a future image, so the content Luffy saw in the Whitebeard video was also confusing to him. Of course, he wouldn't think that Shirahoshi was the Sea King~~~
[ Tsuru: "Hody, you're excited... ...! It only proves Marshal Sengoku's conjecture." ]
[ Akainu: "So the Sea King has already appeared!!" ]
[ Im-sama: "As an ancient weapon, if the Sea King is allowed to exist freely, it could potentially cause unimaginable consequences!! All Marines, listen up. Once the viewing system ends, you personally bring people to Fish-Man Island and bring Sea King Shirahoshi to the Holy Land!" ]
[ Akainu: "Yes!" ]
[ Hody Jones: "Bastards! You can't do this!!" ]
[ Sengoku: "Hody, don't worry. The Five Elders said to pick up Shirahoshi; they didn't say to harm him. Fish-Man Island needs to cooperate..." ]
[ Gol D. Roger: "Hahahahaha!!! The World Government and the Marines, these useless guys, really make me laugh! What are you thinking in your hearts, don't you know yourselves???" ]
[ Edward Newgate: "They already have no shame!! Saying anything false wouldn't surprise anyone~~~" ]
[ Hody Jones: "Hody, you're also in prison, right?" ]
[ Hody Jones: "Yes, Impel Down!" ]
[ Edward Newgate: "Once the viewing system ends, you go to Fish-Man Island as fast as possible and bring Princess Shirahoshi to the deep sea for protection!!!" ]
[ Hody Jones: "Got it, old man!!!" ]
[ Akainu: "Whitebeard, you meddle in everything!!!" ]
[ Edward Newgate: "Old dog Akainu! Get lost!!! Fish-Man Island is my territory! I protect my people! No problem at all!!" ]
[ Rocks D. Xebec: "Hahahaha!!! The Sea King's identity has actually been made public!!! This time, if I can get the Sea King, that would be interesting, hahahaha!!!" ]
[ Shirahoshi: "Ah... Oh... so scary..." ]
[ Hody Jones: "Princess Shirahoshi, don't be afraid! I will rush back as fast as possible, and absolutely no one will harm you!" ]
[ Edward Newgate: "Nekomamushi, listen to this old man. Now, send everyone in Ryugu Palace whom I cannot fully trust outside. Then, send Ryugu Palace's elite guards to protect Princess Shirahoshi, and hold out until Hody Jones arrives." ]
Regarding Hody Jones's strength, Whitebeard was still very confident!!!
On land, Hody Jones's strength might not compare to an Admiral, but in the sea, Hody Jones was almost invincible!
If it was in the deep sea...
Without exaggeration, ten Admirals could only be single-handedly flattened by Hody Jones!!
[ On the way to Ryugu Palace ]
[ Luffy and the others briefly inquired, and the result was... There really is a Mermaid Princess!!!! ]
[ Shirahoshi, 16 years old. Already possessed of...]
[ "There really is a Mermaid Princess...! But how can you be sure the Mermaid Princess is the Sea King?? If the Mermaid Princess really is the Sea King, then what do you plan to do next?" ]
[ As the calm older sister, Robin voiced her doubts. ]
[ "She could just shake her head": "Actually, I also don't know how to distinguish the Sea King. If the Mermaid Princess is truly the Sea King, then I want to invite her to become our Nakama!" ]
[ Hearing this, Franky's mouth dropped open. "Nani??" ]
[ Nami and Robin were equally shocked~ ]
[ "To invite the Mermaid Princess to be a Nakama, you can really think of that!!!" ]
[ But Robin, after all, was intelligent. After only a brief moment of shock, she realized something. She looked at Luffy: "You're afraid that the Sea King's power will fall into the hands of people with ill intentions, aren't you?" ]
[ "Mm, pretty much! Of course...! This guy hasn't even been playing innocent yet~~~" ]
[ Regarding this idea of inviting the Sea King, Luffy just casually mentioned it. ]
[ "Even if the Mermaid Princess is truly the Sea King, Luffy will also consider the other party's thoughts. He can't just forcefully drag her away like a pirate king..." ]
[ When the few of them arrived in front of Ryugu Palace, they happened to encounter Prince Fukaboshi leading the Ryugu Palace Guards. ]
[ And with them was Madame Shyarly, the owner of the Mermaid Cafe~~~ ]
[ Madame Shyarly shrieked as soon as she saw Luffy and the others: "Ah! It's them...!" ]
[ "Capture them!" ]
[ Fukaboshi pointed his finger in Luffy's direction, not caring about collateral damage. ]
[ "Crash!" ]
[ Luffy's Conqueror's Haki was instantly released. All those Ryugu Palace guards who were charging forward immediately turned pale and collapsed to the ground... ]
[ Because there was no deep enmity between the two sides, Luffy had held back. Otherwise, he could have made them piss themselves~~~ ]
[ "Bastard, take this, a trident!!!" ]
[ Seeing that all the soldiers were stunned, Fukaboshi gripped his trident and charged at Luffy! ]
[ Luffy's Conqueror's Haki leaked out a little again, making Fukaboshi instantly weak and unable to even grip his trident~~~ ]
[ But he didn't collapse, and his consciousness was still normal! ]
[ "Hey! Even if it's robbery, people at least yell a slogan first! You guys, you just meet me and then directly attack? What kind of logic is that!!! Are all you Fish-Man Island people so unreasonable????" ]
[ Luffy roared unhappily. ]
[ Then, he looked at Madame Shyarly: "And you! Why are you looking at me with such terror? Your eyes, your mouth, your body, everything is speaking of intense fear. What did I do????" ]
[ Madame Shyarly's whole body trembled at this moment~~~ ]
[ On one hand, it was because she saw Fish-Man Island being destroyed by Luffy in the future. On the other hand, it was probably because she had just told Fukaboshi about this, and now Luffy was in front of her, making her feel guilty~~~ ]
[ "Listen up, Straw Hat Guy!! Madame Shyarly's divination is 100% accurate!!! In the past ten years, everything she divined happened accurately! And she divined that Fish-Man Island will be destroyed by you in the future because of you, Straw Hat Luffy! Therefore, I absolutely will not allow such a thing to happen!!" ]
[ Fukaboshi's whole body was weak, and he was gasping for air even while speaking... ]
[ "Nani?? Fish-Man Island destroyed because of me???" Luffy instantly showed a bewildered expression emoji. ]
[ Nami also put her hands on her waist, fuming: "What kind of joke are you playing? We don't even know each other, yet you want to arrest us based on this ridiculous so-called prophecy????" ]
[ "Wait! Do you know me?" ]
[ Luffy suddenly frowned, looking at the Straw Hat Guy... ]
[ "It would be strange if I didn't know you! After the Top War two years ago, is there anyone in this world who doesn't know you Straw Hat Guy? Although your actual strength is powerful, to protect Fish-Man Island, even if it costs my life, I will fight with you!!!" ]
[ Fukaboshi's eyes were filled with determination~~~ ]
[ "I understand!!!" ]
[ Luffy suddenly showed an expression of sudden realization. His arm instantly extended, reaching Hody Jones and pulling him forward, then he said to the wide-eyed Hody Jones: "I know why Fish-Man Island will be destroyed because of me!!!" ]
[ "You... you... why... why...?" ]
[ Madame Shyarly's face was terrified~~~ ]
[ Luffy raised an eyebrow: "Because you are unreasonable and unprovoked towards me..." ]
"We initiate an attack, so in a fit of rage, I'll let the entire Fish-Man Island be stained with blood in the deep sea!!!"
Silas: "Indeed... Pirates are pirates. Simply because of a misunderstanding, you want all the Fish-Men of Fish-Man Island to die alongside you!!! How cruel!!!"
Stroberry: "It's like he suddenly found a good excuse to wantonly kill the innocent~~~"
Gol D. Roger: "??? You two act as if you have no brains?! Red Luffy's expression is clearly meant to scare the other party!!"
Onigumo: "He talks about staining the entire island with blood at the drop of a hat...!! Even if it's just a scare tactic, doesn't it expose his cruel nature?"
Edward Newgate: "Gurarararara...!! Roger, why are you arguing with these fools~~~ I dare say Red Luffy would never harm any innocent Fish-Man."
["Ah!!" Madame Shyarly suddenly opened her mouth in horror~ ]
[ Crown Prince Fukaboshi roared even louder: "No!!" ]
[ Luffy shrugged: "Isn't this what you brought upon yourselves???" ]
[ "This... there must be some misunderstanding... you listen to me, even if you want to blame someone, blame me alone, the other people of Fish-Man Island are innocent!!!" ]
[ Fukaboshi, after sensing Luffy's strength, knew that his power could truly cause the entire Fish-Man Island to be massacred, and immediately felt terrified... ]
[ Luffy walked up to Fukaboshi and calmly asked: "Do you think it would take me a long time if I wanted to massacre the people of Fish-Man Island???" ]
[ "No... it wouldn't take a long time..." ]
[ Fukaboshi answered truthfully~~~ ]
[ The opponent didn't even make a move, yet he directly dealt with the most elite troops of the entire Ryugu Palace and him!!! ]
[ If he truly wanted to start a massacre, it would honestly be even simpler than chopping vegetables and fruits. ]
[ "So, you see... wanting to destroy the entire Fish-Man Island is truly a very simple thing for me!!! But... I have no reason to do that!!!" ]
[ After Luffy finished speaking to Fukaboshi, he turned his head to look at Madame Shyarly again: "I don't know what you saw in your divination, but I hope you understand one thing: if you haven't seen a definite future, don't rely on your one-sided guesses to make a conclusion about something!!! If the protagonist of this incident today wasn't me, but another brutal great pirate, then Fish-Man Island would truly be destroyed, just as you wished!!!" ]
Gol D. Roger: "Where are those idiot Marine Vice Admirals now? Get out here! Damn it, watch this closely for me, is this Red Luffy's cruelty? Cruelty your mother's leg!!!"
Just thinking about how those three Marine Vice Admirals deliberately tried to control the rhythm, Roger couldn't help but get furious~~~
Edward Newgate: "No need to get angry, Roger. What kind of virtue are those Marine dogs? Can't you see it? From the moment that old dog Akainu ordered to capture Shirahoshi, they couldn't even bother to keep up appearances!!! Getting angry at a dog, it's not worth it~~~ it's not worth it~~~"
Sengoku: "Hmph! Whitebeard! Stop being so cynical!!! You've got Shirahoshi under your control, so you're content?"
Edward Newgate: "Regarding this matter, this old man doesn't even deign to discuss it with you!!! Hmph! Tui!!"
Shiki: "Kishishishishi!!! Tui well done! Tui well done!!!"
["..." ]
[ A clear gulping motion appeared on Whitebeard's neck due to tension. ]
Madame Shyarly was completely overwhelmed by Luffy's Conqueror's Haki.
[ Not only that, Luffy's words were not only logical and well-supported, but his voice was also pleasant to listen to. This made Madame Shyarly unable to generate any thoughts of resistance... ]
[ "Hey!! —" ]
[ In the seawater, a fierce splashing sound suddenly appeared, and then a double-bladed axe was seen flying rapidly through the seawater from above, moving towards the interior of Ryugu Palace...!!! ]
[ Luffy's arm suddenly stretched out, directly pulling this double-bladed axe back~~~ ]
[ Frowning, Luffy looked at the double-bladed axe in his hand, pouting: "Axes are flying around above my head. Is the public security environment in your Ryugu Palace really that bad...???"]
