Chapter 94

Evening. Dragon Palace Castle.

Located on the top floor of Fish-Man Island where sunlight could be seen, it was a large luxury palace built from large coral reefs, shells, and other building materials, with a giant dragon coiled around it. The base of the royal family of Fish-Man Island.

After arriving here by taking a giant flatfish with a giant bubble membrane inside Dragon Palace Castle, all the Navy members were jaw-dropped looking at the beautiful Dragon Palace.

An extremely spacious and tall luxury banquet hall, with a shell-shaped stage in the center, followed by a dazzling array of delicious delicacies, which made people drool.

What made the Navy most excited was the mermaid ladies coming and going, each one as beautiful as a flower, looking at them with smiles on their faces, which made them extremely excited.

"Oh my god! Is this heaven?" "Don't doubt it, this is heaven!"

The Navy members soon took their seats, and Karl, Ain, and Smoker sat in positions closer to Neptune, with Jinbe opposite them.

"Thank you, Navy, for capturing the despicable criminal Hody Jones for Fish-Man Island. As King, I toast you all!"

At this time, the Navy soldiers all looked at Karl, because Karl was very strict about drinking. Last time on Amazon Lily, he only allowed them to drink one glass of wine, the reason being that they had to work tomorrow.

"Why are you all looking at me? Drink!"

"Ooooooh!!!"

This also meant that the banquet officially began. After eating a little, Neptune started a song and dance performance. Several beautiful mermaids sang and danced, making the atmosphere extremely lively.

"Ain, why aren't you eating?"

Ain looked around and then whispered in Karl’s ear: "I’ve been eating seafood for the past two days and I’m a bit nauseous, don't worry about me."

It would have been better if she hadn't said it. Once she did, Karl also felt a bit nauseous, especially at the mountain of clams.

"Rear Admiral Karl, let me introduce you. This is my eldest son, Fukaboshi."

"Hello, Rear Admiral Karl!"

A tall male fish-man with long blue wavy hair and an upright appearance smiled shyly at Karl, and then his face returned to a calm expression.

Karl nodded: "The eldest son is really steady! I believe he will be able to become a respected King in the future!"

Neptune smiled slightly: "Not at all, not at all, Fukaboshi still has a lot to learn! By the way, this is my second son, Ryuboshi, and this one is my third son, Manboshi."

"Rear Admiral Karl! Thank you for everything you have done for Fish-Man Island!" *2

Karl nodded to each of them. The ages of these three princes were not very old. The eldest, Fukaboshi, was probably only about 16 years old, and the youngest, Manboshi, was just over ten.

The only one who looked Move Move Like a human was Fukaboshi; the other two, uh, let’s not talk about it!

"Lord Neptune has successors! By the way, I heard that you have a daughter, why haven't I seen her come out?"

Neptune scratched his head in embarrassment: "This, Rear Admiral Karl might not know, but Shirahoshi was entangled by a pervert when she was six, and he would 'pursue' her by intimidation every day."

"I ordered to hunt him down for a long time, but there was no harvest, so I had no choice but to build a special house to protect Shirahoshi so she wouldn't be hurt."

Ain, who was enjoying dessert, looked up: "Is it that pirate called Vander Decken IX?"

Neptune nodded: "That’s right, it’s him, the captain of the Flying Pirates."

Vander Decken IX, a user of the Mato Mato no Mi (Target-Target Fruit). As long as he targets someone, the items he throws will automatically track them to the ends of the earth, unless they are shot down on the way or blocked by obstacles.

If Karl remembered correctly, this ability seemed to be eliminated if the target locked by that hand washed their hands, which meant this guy hadn't washed his hands for more than a year?

That hand must be so smelly!

Ain asked curiously: "Lord Neptune, may I ask how this Decken IX harasses Princess Shirahoshi?"

At this time, Fukaboshi, who was standing on the side, spoke up: "He claims to be a user of the 'Target-Target Curse'. When the Queen was shot and killed by Hody Jones, he took advantage of the chaos to touch Shirahoshi, and since then, Shirahoshi has become his sniper target."

"At first, he just threw letters of proposal at Shirahoshi, and later it became even worse—hammers, swords, all kinds of weapons. To protect Shirahoshi, Father had to build the Hard-Shell Tower and let Shirahoshi live in it to avoid this bastard’s sniping."

After speaking, Fukaboshi bowed in front of Karl in public and said sincerely: "Rear Admiral Karl, please think of a way to capture this despicable guy Vander Decken!"

"Sister Shirahoshi hasn't seen the grace of the sun for more than a year!"

The other two princes also bowed down in the same way, asking Karl to help.

Ain and Smoker also looked at him one after another. After all, Shirahoshi was too pitiful. A six or seven-year-old child being entangled by such a pervert must have caused a lot of psychological trauma!

"Don't worry, we are the Navy, we will do our best."

After speaking, a flash of inspiration crossed Karl’s mind, and he looked at Ain: "Can your Modoki Modoki no Mi (Return-Return Fruit) restore Shirahoshi to her previous state? In this way, Vander Decken won't be able to snipe her, right?"

Ain clapped her hands: "That’s right! At least I can try!"

Neptune was overjoyed when he heard there was hope: "Really? Wait, Return-Return Fruit, what is that?"

Subsequently, Ain explained her ability to Neptune.

"So that’s how it is, Miss Ain, then I’ll leave it to you!"

Ain waved her hand quickly: "Lord Neptune, you are too polite, I can only say I will do my best."

After the banquet, Smoker took a group of Navy soldiers back to the warship to rest, while Karl and Ain followed King Neptune to the Hard-Shell Tower.

This was a tall tower-Move Move Like building. From the outside, it was mostly steel structures and some shells similar to armor. It wouldn't be an exaggeration to call it the Turtle Shell Tower.

Looking at the swords, axes, and hammers on it, one knew that Vander Decken hadn't harassed Shirahoshi less.

"Rear Admiral Karl, Miss Ain, this is where my little daughter lives. She is a bit shy, you wait here, I’ll go in and talk to her first."

"Mm-hmm, no problem."

After Neptune and Fukaboshi went in, Ain snorted: "This Vander Decken IX really is an out-and-out pervert! Shirahoshi is only a little over 7 years old, right?"

That’s really criminal!

"Why aren't you talking?"

Karl looked at the various weapons on the Hard-Shell Tower and touched his chin: "You say, if your ability really works, will this guy be very anxious!"

"Eh, that makes sense! If he dares to set foot on Fish-Man Island, I guarantee he won't be able to return!"

That’s what she said, but it specifically depended on how much Vander Decken coveted Shirahoshi. After all, the news of the Navy on Fish-Man Island should have spread long ago, but if he were smart, he wouldn't come.

But as a pervert, how can one measure him with the thinking of a normal person?
