41: Chapter 41 Settling Down on Fishman IslandSeeing this, Princess Otohime thought it was a good opportunity to introduce them, so she said to Wang Luffy, "Let me introduce you.The one who was just laughing and joking with you is my daughter Shirahoshi, she's six years old.Isn't she cute?"
Wang Lufei nodded quickly after hearing this, jokingly saying, "If my future wife isn't cute, who is?"
Seeing Wang Luffy nod, Otohime continued, "This is the eldest prince, Shark Star.This is the second prince, Emperor Star.This is the third prince, Overturning Star.They all look quite imposing, don't they!"
After listening, Wang Lufei looked at his future brother-in-law and fell silent.Apart from the eldest prince, the other two didn't seem to be associated with might at all.
Then Wang Lufei said, "The eldest prince does look majestic, and the second and third princes also have the demeanor of great men.They can be called the Crouching Dragon and the Young Phoenix."
Although Otohime hadn't activated her innate Observation Haki, she knew that Luffy's words were just flattery, so she didn't continue.
Then, after thinking for a moment, Otohime said, "On my way back, I heard from the servants that you seemed to have heard rumors about Shirahoshi while you were still on the shore?"
Wang Lufei became interested and replied, "That's right.I've always heard that Princess Shirahoshi is kind and lovely, and meeting her today has truly been love at first sight, no, love at first sight for eternity."
Uh, no, well, it lives up to its reputation.Yes, it truly lives up to its reputation.
Wang Lufei wiped the sweat from his forehead, almost blurting out his true feelings.He continued, "But just now, when I was chatting with the guards, I learned that the kind-hearted Princess Shirahoshi was bullied.Unforgivable!That Vander Decken must be punished."
Princess Shirahoshi is lovely, kind, beautiful, and friendly.but she's so young, and this Vander Decken dares to harass her—isn't that a crime?And he's so persistent!To harass a six-year-old girl like that—being shot is too lenient."
After finishing his sentence, Wang Lufei took a sip of water and continued, "I know you don't want to punish him because of Fisher Tiger's feelings.But you reap what you sow.If you won't do it, I will."
"You don't need to be troubled.After I capture him, just announce that he's a pirate.After all, he already has that identity.It's perfectly normal for the Navy to capture pirates, and the people of Fishman Island won't say anything."
After hearing Wang Lufei's words, the group exchanged glances, unsure of what to say.Finally, Bai Xing spoke up, "Um, thank you.I'm very happy that you could do these things for me."
But if you do catch him, could you please not be too harsh?Even though he's a bad person, he can still feel pain; just let him understand his mistakes.
As Bai Xing spoke, she realized everyone was watching her, so she lowered her head shyly and her voice grew softer and softer.
Seeing this, Wang Lufei smiled and replied, "Don't worry, I guarantee he won't feel any pain, and he won't bother you again."
The naive and innocent Shirahoshi nodded happily upon hearing this.But those around her knew the meaning behind Wang Lufei's sinister tone and couldn't help but shudder.However, their facial expressions remained unchanged, as they also supported Wang Lufei's actions.
Seeing that the atmosphere seemed to be getting cold again, Otohime changed the subject, saying, "We've been talking for so long, and I still don't know why you came to Fishman Island.Would you mind telling me?"
Wang Lufei replied, "I don't have any special purpose.I just heard from my grandfather that Fishman Island is particularly beautiful, so I thought I'd like to stay for a while."
Furthermore, I've heard that the Queen is troubled by the issue of peaceful coexistence between humans and fish-men.Although I don't know how I can help, I'd like to do what I can.Please forgive my uninvited visit, King and Queen.
After Wang Luffy finished speaking, he stood up and bowed in Neptune's direction.Neptune, somewhat flattered, stroked his beard.
When Yi Ji heard Wang Lufei's words, she was also pleasantly surprised.She felt that Wang Lufei's arrival was simply the will of heaven.Not only did it come in a time of need, but it also coincided with her own thoughts.
Then, Otohime stood up, walked over to Luffy, patted him on the shoulder, and said, "Kid, we appreciate your kindness.Stay on Fishman Island as long as you want; we'll always be best friends."
Neptune, standing nearby, echoed, "That's right.Since you're willing to help the Princess, then we're family.You can stay on Fishman Island as long as you want."
After saying that, he instructed his servants, "Someone, quickly prepare a top-notch guest room.Everything inside should be arranged to the highest standards.If our distinguished guest is not satisfied, we will hold you accountable."
The group then spent the dinner in laughter and conversation.After the meal, Neptune and the three princes returned to the palace to handle some business, while Otohime, along with Shirahoshi, led Luffy to the luxurious room prepared for him.
Along the way, Wang Lufei noticed that Shirahoshi seemed a little reserved around him, so he said, "Princess Shirahoshi, don't let my small size fool you, I can actually grow to be the same size as you.Want to see?"
Shirahoshi replied with great interest, "Really?Lord Luffy can grow to the same size as me?That's amazing!I want to see."
After hearing this, Wang Luffy used his Gum-Gum Fruit and Life Return to start growing bigger.
If it were just a matter of life returning to its original state, it wouldn't be able to grow to such an enormous size, but with a rubber body, it's different; the ability to extend infinitely gives it endless possibilities.
Shirahoshi watched as Luffy grew larger and larger in front of her, clapping her hands excitedly and exclaiming, "Wow, Luffy-sama is huge!He's really huge!"
After Wang Lufei became a head taller than Shirahoshi, he began to stabilize his body, although he almost lost his composure after hearing Shirahoshi's somewhat ambiguous words.
Then Wang Lufei walked over to Bai Xing and reached out his wicked hand to touch her hair.Wang Lufei was really pent up; he hadn't been used to having a girl touch his head all this time, and the long-lost feel was quite nice.
Because of its enormous size, this is a record of events.It was the first time I touched someone's head, and it felt pretty good, but because it was the first time I'd been so close to someone of the opposite sex, I was still a little shy.
But she was conflicted, because it felt really good to be patted on the head like that, and she didn't know whether to refuse Wang Lufei or continue to enjoy it.
Seeing this, Wang Lufei knew when to stop and withdrew his wicked hand, saying, "I'm sorry.I often encourage my sister like this at home.Now that I've grown up, I feel like Princess Shirahoshi is just like my sister, so I couldn't help myself.I apologize for my rudeness."
He then bowed to Shirahoshi.Shirahoshi, somewhat caught off guard, looked at Wang Luffy in front of her and said, "It's okay, no need to apologize.Actually, it felt quite nice just now.This is the first time I've been patted on the head.Because of my huge size, my brother and mother can't reach me."
After Bai Xing finished speaking, she seemed to realize her grievances, and tears welled up in her eyes.
Seeing this, Wang Lufei quickly went over and stroked her head again, comforting her, "Don't cry, don't cry.Being big isn't a bad thing.Countless people envy your big size."
Shirahoshi rubbed her eyes and looked at Wang Luffy, saying, "Really?A physique like that is only troublesome, how could anyone envy it?"
Looking into her light blue eyes, Wang Lufei said confidently, "Of course it's true, I never lie.Actually, your size isn't very large for a giant, you're actually quite short."
Moreover, there are many people in this world older than you.The most famous are the Four Emperors of the New World; apart from Shanks, they are all older than you.
After Wang Lufei finished speaking, he turned to Otohime and said, "Isn't that right, Your Highness?"
Otohime agreed and even joined Luffy in comforting Shirahoshi.Eventually, Shirahoshi regained her composure, though her gaze towards Luffy held a peculiar quality.
