"Sorry to trouble you, Saint Rosse. The rest, leave it to me," Otohime lightly nodded, a smile hanging on her face.
This time, she had already decided to stand out.
Moreover, everything was already planned.
This time, all sinners would face judgment.
"Let's go," Otohime stepped forward first, walking toward the door.
Rosse smiled at the corners of his mouth and followed behind her.
A serious Otohime was even more charming.
After the two left the residence, the direction they went was not toward Ryugu Kingdom, but toward Fish-Man District.
At the same time, along the way, neither of them concealed their appearance.
Not only were they seen by passing merfolks and fish-men, even ordinary pirates from the Whitebeard Pirates stationed on Fish-Man Island also saw their whereabouts.
Because of Otohime and Rosse appearing together, the atmosphere within the entire Fish-Man Island became slightly eerie.
Too many things had happened these past days.
First, Otohime ran off with a Celestial Dragon. Then it was spread that Neptune had a new lover and began selecting concubines. After that, Nia suddenly returned, announcing that she and others were captured by Neptune to be sold to humans as slaves.
These matters stirred up massive waves inside Fish-Man Island.
Though later Ryugu Kingdom stepped forward to refute and deny Nia's story, Nia's experience didn't seem fake at all. And during these days, they had been walking around the merfolk residential area, spreading word about what had happened back then.
This made more people believe that there were a lot of problems with Neptune, that he wasn't as good as he seemed on the surface.
And on Neptune's side, recently, all matters had been handled by Holp.
Because of emotional pain, Neptune had no intention of managing affairs and spent every day with Sabina, comforting his wounded heart.
The more they spent time together, the more Neptune felt that Sabina was better.
After all, how could kind-hearted Otohime compare with the tea-scented Sabina?

[Fish-Man District]
"Arlong-nii, don't go!", The young merfolk Shyarly grabbed the nearby fish-man, her words filled with urgency.

"Move! That human and Otohime dare come to Fish-Man District, if I don't teach them a lesson, I'm not Arlong!", Arlong frowned, visibly annoyed.
He and Shyarly were siblings, but he was a fish-man, and Shyarly a merfolk, their relationship wasn't particularly good.
But Shyarly was well cared for in fish-man District by Tiger and the others, making her one of the few merfolks who could walk around freely there.
This made Arlong even more upset. He, a fish-man, couldn't gain Big Brother Tiger's approval, but Shyarly, a powerless little girl, could? Didn't that just make him look bad?
This time, he had to show everyone in Fish-Man District the strength of him, fish-man Arlong.
Fish-Man District didn't welcome humans, even less so Celestial Dragons and Princess Otohime.
Last time when Princess Otohime came and went missing, it already brought much unrest to Fish-Man District.
Otohime's clear and naive rhetoric was laughable just to hear.
"If you go, you'll die!", Shyarly held Arlong's hand, her face full of pleading.
"Die?", Arlong's body paused slightly, his frown deepening.
He didn't want to believe Shyarly's words, just a mere human, how could they possibly do anything to him.
But up to now, Shyarly's prophecies had never been wrong.
Because of Shyarly's predictions, they had avoided many dangers.
Although Shyarly had no strength, Arlong still didn't dare to not believe her when it came to prophecy.
"Then tell me, what exactly did you see?", Arlong forced himself to calm down and looked at Shyarly.
"I saw Fish-Man District engulfed in flames. Everyone was struggling…", Shyarly's face was filled with terror.
This was the scene she had seen not long ago. It wasn't just Fish-Man District, the entire Fish-Man Island had turned into ruins, flames burning under the sea, destroying everything.
"What kind of joke is that, just the two of them?", Arlong sneered and didn't believe it at all.
"Arlong-nii, please, go find Big Brother Tiger. Only he can save Fish-Man District…", Shyarly pleaded helplessly.
She didn't know if the prophecy could be stopped, nor did she know how to stop it.
In her understanding, perhaps only Tiger could do something.
"Fine, I'll go find Big Brother Tiger. You stay in Fish-Man District, and if anything happens, retreat with Jinbe and the others at once."
Arlong frowned. Seeing Shyarly's expression didn't look fake, he decided to believe her this time.
Although he always thought humans were inferior to fish-men, vaguely he also felt a sense of crisis.
Now hearing Shyarly say this, he couldn't afford not to believe.
But Tiger hadn't been heard from in a long time, and finding him would take time.
"I'll stay close to Jinbe-nii. Arlong-nii, go with peace of mind," Shyarly nodded fiercely.
"Alright, then it's settled."
Arlong wasn't someone who dawdled. Taking advantage of Rosse and Otohime not having arrived yet, he dived into the seawater and disappeared without a trace.
'Just wait, I, Arlong, will come back!'
And after sending off Arlong, Shyarly also quickly went to find Jinbe.
After Tiger left, no one in Fish-Man District really listened to anyone. But because Jinbe was righteous and originally designated by Tiger as successor, he still had the most authority.

"They really came?"
At Ryugu Kingdom, Leviathan straightened his body, eyes blazing as he looked at Marco.
Just now, they received news, Rosse and Otohime were heading toward Fish-Man District.
"Why would they go to Fish-Man District? Aren't they coming to join this commotion?", Vista frowned slightly. Looking at the crowd of people below, he was a bit puzzled.
"Join this commotion for what? They each have new lovers now, just part peacefully," Carlo sneered, not thinking there was anything wrong.
He had never liked Marco's plan. They were all adults, who still cared about saving face?
Moreover, Neptune and Otohime, even though it was all noisy and messy, it was Otohime who let Neptune down. How would she dare to show up?
They all knew about Nia's return too.
Regarding Nia's situation, they didn't think Ryugu Kingdom had done anything excessive.
Otohime was already a traitor, what was the point of keeping her people?
If this were in a pirate crew, the entire subordinate team would've been sunk.
"No matter if they're here to join the crowd or for something else, since they showed up in Fish-Man District, and only the two of them, that's good news for us," Leviathan sneered coldly, thinking Rosse was courting death.
The four of them, division commanders, were not weaklings.
Even the weakest Vista had the ability to exchange blows with a Marine Vice Admiral.
He and Carlo, although not a match for Marine Admirals, could still hold them off for a while.
The two of them came entirely to deal with the possibility of Zephyr showing up.
Now, since it was only Rosse, then he was doomed. [T/N: Poor soul.]
"Let's go, we move out!"
Leviathan spoke decisively and was the first to leap down from the high tower, speeding toward distant Fish-Man District.
Seeing this, Marco and Vista also put away their thoughts of watching merfolks and, faces grave, followed behind Leviathan and Carlo.
