"Lord Decken, it seems that something is approaching us?"
The ship was very old, like a ghost ship, but on the deck of the ship, a fish-man reported in a low voice.
"Something? What is it?"
The person speaking wore a small top hat, had curly hair, and a mustache. He stood on four feet and also had two hands.
He gazed into the distance, but could only see a small black dot, "It's probably a sea king that doesn't have eyes. I'll kill it when it comes over."
However, as soon as he finished speaking, the small black dot became faster and faster. After a few breaths, it actually landed directly on the bow of the ship.
That slender figure, soaring dragon head, bared fangs, and spoke human words.
"You, want to kill me?"
"Dragon... Dragon!" Vander Decken IX widened his eyes and said incredulously, "Impossible, there are no dragon-type creatures active in the waters near Fish-Man Island! Who are you?"
"The dragon that's going to catch you!"
Vladimir laughed loudly and slapped the other party with one claw.
The dragon claw wasn't long, but when it was swung in an instant, it stirred up five sharp sea currents.
The sea blades descended from above, and the group of fish-men didn't have time to dodge at all due to the speed.
Vander Decken IX was the first to be hit, and he was directly struck in the chest by a sea blade. The next moment, he screamed, and blood flowed wildly.
"Want to run?"
Vladimir snorted and flicked his dragon tail, rapidly approaching.
Vander Decken IX hadn't even taken a few steps before he was directly grabbed in Vladimir's hand with one claw.
"You said you wanted to kill me just now?"
"Y-you you you...!" Vander Decken IX was terrified, afraid that the other party would eat him in one bite.
"Stop shouting. I'm sending you to Ryugu Palace to get money from Neptune."
Vladimir was too lazy to pay attention and directly knocked the other party unconscious. Then, he coldly swept his eyes over the remaining fish-men on the ship.
"You guys get lost. I'm too lazy to attack you."
Leaving a sentence, he immediately withdrew, carrying Vander Decken IX back to Fish-Man Island.
And the survivors left on the deck all looked terrified.
"Captain Vander Decken IX!"
Vladimir grabbed Vander Decken IX and returned to Ryugu Palace.
The soldiers outside couldn't stop him at all. However, before Vladimir could enter the city, King Neptune actively walked over because of the external commotion.
Not only him, but Red Hair Shanks, Shirahoshi, and others had also returned from Fish-Man District.
At this moment, everyone looked shocked when they saw a sea dragon with a length of 20 meters appearing.
"Protect His Majesty the King!" A minister immediately shouted in panic, "You sea dragon, this is Ryugu Palace! What do you want to do?"
"Noisy."
Vladimir glared at the other party, and his dragon might was released.
Immediately, a huge pressure swept the scene.
Under this dragon might, all the Ryugu Palace guards holding weapons couldn't last a few seconds, and one by one, they fell to the ground, their spirits drooping.
"Conqueror's Haki!?" Red Hair was shocked, his expression solemn.
"Don't be impulsive." At this time, Neptune finally spoke, stopping the guards who wanted to protect him. He naturally remembered the transaction with Phantom last night.
However, he never expected that the other party's actions would be so fast. In just half a day, the problem that had been troubling him for so long was so easily solved.
Vladimir swept his gaze over Shirahoshi and her father, and then looked at Red Hair, speaking human words, "Four Emperors Red Hair, I have a little brother on your ship."
Hearing this, Red Hair's eyes flashed, and he nodded, "That's right."
"Thank you. We owe you a favor. Also, what just happened wasn't Conqueror's Haki, it was just my dragon might."
After speaking, the sea dragon ignored him and turned to look at Neptune, not saying anything.
Seeing this, Neptune immediately understood and said, "Please come to my hall. Mr. Red Hair, thank you for your protection. Shirahoshi, you should go back to your room first."
With his words, he dismissed all the irrelevant people.
After that, Vladimir was invited to a hall alone.
Vladimir shook his body and transformed into a human, and then entered the palace.
Seeing this scene, Neptune was shocked again, "Mr. Sea Dragon, what race are you? You can actually transform into a human? I know you're not a Devil Fruit ability user. Ability users are afraid of seawater and can't move freely in the sea."
"Your mermaid women can split their fish tails after they come of age and walk upright like humans... The world is much bigger than you know, Your Majesty."
Vladimir perfunctorily said casually. He couldn't directly say that he had just canceled his transformation and that this was his real appearance.
"Enough with the nonsense. The transaction that Shadow Fiend talked to you about last night has now been completed."
Saying this, Vladimir threw the unconscious Vander Decken IX in front of the king.
"This person is the captain of the Flying Pirates, Vander Decken IX, the Mark-Mark Fruit ability user. His right hand is wearing a glove. This is the key point of his ability. Anyone who has been touched will be treated as a target. Those love letters, weapons, and threatening letters that flew from a long distance were all because of his ability."
After explaining it simply, Vladimir said directly, "I've caught the person and handed him over to you. Is your reward ready?"
Neptune stared at Vander Decken IX for a long time before nodding, "The reward, I'll give it to you. Please rest assured."
He didn't mean to go back on his word, and he didn't dare to go back on his word. The other party was a member of Phantom.
Soon, Neptune had someone bring a bankbook.
Vladimir took it and confirmed that it was genuine before he smiled, "Very good. The king is still very trustworthy. If you have any difficulties in the future, you can contact us in Phantom at any time. For the sake of being an old customer, I can give you a 10% discount."
After speaking, Vladimir prepared to leave.
"Wait, Mr. Sea Dragon." Neptune couldn't help but speak again, "About the intelligence you mentioned before."
"What? You want to buy it out?"
