Chapter 522

"It's Sea Kings!"

Karl just wanted to launch an attack, but then he thought, Sea Kings—aren't they the little brothers of the Sea King Poseidon? Could it be that this group of Sea Kings came for Shirahoshi?

That's right, it should be. Otherwise, they should have launched an attack long ago, instead of just watching them quietly.

Shirahoshi looked at these giant creatures with some fear, her body trembling slightly.

Strange voices kept coming into her mind.

"King! You've come!"

"King, don't worry, we won't hurt you!"

"King!..."

Shirahoshi made a painful sound and covered her ears tightly.

"No, stop talking!"

Karl turned his head to look at Shirahoshi. Shirahoshi's state at this moment was very wrong. Could it be that she was about to awaken?

"Stop talking, all of you go away!"

As soon as she finished speaking, the Sea Kings moved, leaving this place reluctantly.

"Shirahoshi, that group of Sea Kings, were they listening to you?"

Shirahoshi replied with some confusion: "Seems like it! They said they would listen to everything I say."

"Then, try it again?"

"That wouldn't be good, right? Shirahoshi just told them to leave."

"Just try it!"

Shirahoshi nodded, put her hands together, and whispered: "Everyone, come to me!"

The voice wasn't loud, but it seemed every Sea King could hear it clearly. They didn't hesitate to come toward Shirahoshi, waiting for further instructions.

Now Karl could basically confirm that Shirahoshi had awakened the ability to communicate with Sea Kings.

Although the scene of the awakening was a bit plain, she had indeed awakened; otherwise, the Sea Kings wouldn't have been so obedient.

"Shirahoshi, let them go, let's go back to Fish-Man Island first."

"Oh oh! Wait a moment, I'll tell them."

On the way back, Shirahoshi noticed that the way Karl looked at her seemed a bit strange, and couldn't help but ask: "Lord Karl, why, are you looking at me like this?"

"That, Shirahoshi, do you know about the Sea King Poseidon?"

"Poseidon? I seem to have heard Father mention it, but I don't know exactly what it is."

"Poseidon is the mermaid princess who possesses the ability to communicate with Sea Kings, the King of the Sea Kings, appearing once every 800 years. The last mermaid princess to hold the title of 'Poseidon' appeared 800 years ago during the 'Void Century,' and now, you are the Sea King, Poseidon."

Shirahoshi covered her mouth in surprise: "Ah? I, am I the Sea King Poseidon? Am I that amazing?"

Karl said solemnly: "The Sea King Poseidon is known as an Ancient Weapon! Possessing the power to destroy the world. Would you say that's amazing?"

Shirahoshi shook her head: "So that's how it is? But I don't want to destroy the world?"

Karl smiled and shook his head. This was also why Poseidon needed a guide. If mastered by an ambitious person, Poseidon would undoubtedly be a meat grinder on the sea. In this world themed around the ocean, she was simply invincible.

"Let's not talk about this for now. When we return to Ryugu Palace, I will tell your father personally."

"Oh oh!"

Ryugu Palace.

Learning that Karl and Shirahoshi were coming back, Neptune had Jinbe take the Straw Hat crew away early to avoid unnecessary conflict.

Seeing Shirahoshi and Karl arrive, before Neptune could speak, Karl took the initiative.

"Lord Neptune, there is an important matter I must tell you, it's about Shirahoshi."

"Shirahoshi?" Neptune glanced at Shirahoshi and then said: "Your lordship, please speak."

"The fewer people who know about this, the better. I think your lordship should understand what I mean."

"Ahem, you all may withdraw!" Neptune said calmly.

"Yes!"

After the ministers left, Neptune asked anxiously: "Did something happen to Shirahoshi?"

"That's right, just now when I took her out, Shirahoshi accidentally awakened."

Neptune was shocked: "Awakened? So fast? Could your lordship be mistaken?"

Karl pointed at Shirahoshi and said: "I saw Shirahoshi command the Sea Kings with my own eyes, do you still not believe me?"

Neptune gasped and quickly came to Shirahoshi's side: "Little Star, how are you? Is there anything uncomfortable with your body?"

"No, Father, I'm fine."

"The fact that Shirahoshi has awakened to become the Sea King Poseidon must never be told to anyone else, otherwise the consequences will be unimaginable."

Neptune let out a long sigh: "I understand, but you can hide it for a while, not for a lifetime."

"Being able to hide it for a while is enough." ===== CHAPTER 524 =====
