The room had a giant bed covered with long curtains, a bedside table, and two bedside lamps, as well as a delicately carved chandelier.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>\"Rear Admiral Karl, Miss Ain, let me introduce you. This is my little daughter, Shirahoshi.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Looking at Shirahoshi, who was only half Neptune’s height, Karl nodded silently. She was indeed small, but she was also more than 4 meters tall, more than twice his size.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Shirahoshi was a giant smelt-whiting mermaid.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>She was the largest mermaid Karl had ever seen. She had elegant long pink wavy hair and a taiyaki-shaped hair accessory on her head.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>She wore a pair of shell-shaped earrings, had bright blue eyes, a beautiful appearance, and a pink fish tail with deep and light shades.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>The huge natural assets in his memory were naturally not there; after all, she was only 7 years old. According to her body shape, she was just beginning to develop.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Beside her was a fat shark wearing clothes, looking not very smart, and also wearing a swim ring.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Shirahoshi saw these two humans staring at her and immediately lowered her head shyly. She wasn't crying; after all, her father had already given her a heads-up just now.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>\"Princess Shirahoshi is so cute! Don't you think so, Karl?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Karl nodded. She was indeed very cute, looking soft and cute, making people want to pinch her cheeks when they saw her.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Hearing Ain’s praise, Shirahoshi covered her face shyly and said bashfully: \"Thank you for finding the real culprit who killed my mother. My mother is in heaven, and finally... sob, sob, can rest in peace.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Shirahoshi finally couldn't hold it back and cried out, her voice getting louder and louder.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Ain felt heartbroken seeing this and quickly walked to Shirahoshi’s side, gently stroking Shirahoshi’s tail fin: \"Don't cry, it’s all over, you have to be strong!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>\"Shirahoshi, your mother in heaven must hope that you can be happy every day, right!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>After Ain’s comfort, Shirahoshi nodded seriously and wiped the tears from her face: \"Mm-hmm, Sister Ain is right, Shirahoshi must be strong!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Seeing that the time was ripe, Karl said: \"Little Shirahoshi, can I call you that?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>\"Mm-hmm, of course you can, Lord Karl.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>\"Your father should have told you just now that Ain and I are here to help you solve the problem, so you can go out and play every day Move Move Like other children!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Shirahoshi blinked her big eyes: \"Really? Can I?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>\"That goes without saying, don't you believe me?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Shirahoshi shook her head quickly: \"No, no, no, Shirahoshi believes you, Lord Karl!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Then Karl looked at Ain: \"You do it!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Ain looked at Shirahoshi and revealed a smile: \"Shirahoshi, don't move around later, okay!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>\"Mm-hmm!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Ain extended her right hand, and a peach-colored flame similar to ghost fire appeared, its color constantly fading, and the effect would naturally weaken accordingly.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Otherwise, according to Ain’s current level of development, she could make Shirahoshi disappear from the world in one go.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>It’s just that the process was very slow. The peach-colored flame gradually turned into light pink, and then Ain immediately touched Shirahoshi’s tail.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Shirahoshi began to shrink at a speed visible to the naked eye, her body shrinking by about a circle.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Neptune marveled: \"It’s truly magical! Shirahoshi was Move Move Like this when she was six!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>\"Eh, why did I become smaller?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Ain said with a smile: \"Of course you’ll become smaller! Because your body is in the state it was a year and a half ago!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>A year and a half, which was before Queen Otohime was assassinated, when Shirahoshi had not yet been marked by Vander Decken IX.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>In effect, Ain had reset Shirahoshi’s body to a state where she was no longer marked. For the time being, Shirahoshi could grow normally, unless Ain actively revoked her ability or Shirahoshi was marked again.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>The price Shirahoshi paid was that her physical state had regressed by another year and a half; whether this was a blessing or a curse was hard to say.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Neptune looked at Ain with anticipation and asked cautiously, \"So... what now?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Ain dared not make any bold promises at this moment, so she could only say, \"Let’s observe for a few days first! It’s impossible to tell for now whether the mark has been removed.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>\"Sigh~ I suppose that’s all we can do!\" Neptune sighed.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>\"It’s getting late. Rear Admiral Karl, Miss Ain, why don’t you rest at the Dragon Palace for the night? Let me fulfill my duties as a host!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Karl and Ain exchanged a glance and said with a smile, \"Then we shall trouble you, Lord Neptune!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>\"Goodbye, Shirahoshi. We’ll come play with you again tomorrow! Remember to get a good night’s sleep!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Shirahoshi beamed, her voice milky and soft as she said, \"Goodbye, Sister Ain, Lord Karl!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>The next day, outside Fish-Man Island.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Vander Decken IX climbed out of bed and stretched: \"Ah! Another beautiful day! Hehehe, Shirahoshi, accept my intense love!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>He then picked up an axe from the side, stuck a pre-written love letter onto it with snot, gathered his strength, and launched it—launched it—eh!!!\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>The smile gradually vanished from his lips. Vander Decken IX stared in disbelief at his pitch-black hand, feeling quite deflated.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>This isn't right! How could this be?\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Refusing to believe it, Vander Decken tried a few more times, eventually reaching the conclusion that the mark on Shirahoshi had disappeared.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>\"No, no! No, no, no!!!!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>\"Boss, what's wrong?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Vander Decken said in deep grief: \"Shirahoshi’s mark is gone, it’s gone!!!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>His underling looked at Vander Decken in shock: \"Boss, you didn't wash your hands, did you! How could it disappear?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Vander Decken suddenly realized: \"That's right, I didn't wash my hands. Something must have gone wrong on Shirahoshi’s end! I still have a chance, as long as I see Shirahoshi one more time!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>\"But Boss, there are Marines on Fish-Man Island now! Even that guy Hody Jones got taken down; wouldn't we just be walking to our deaths?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Vander Decken took a few deep breaths and finally calmed down. The Marines couldn't possibly stay on Fish-Man Island forever, right?\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>At worst, he would just wait a few more days until the Marines left.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Dragon Palace, Hard-Shell Tower.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Neptune and his sons watched nervously as they searched the Hard-Shell Tower. Upon confirming there were no new \"love letters,\" they were overjoyed.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>\"Great, Father King! If the mark were still there, that guy Vander Decken would definitely have thrown all sorts of junk over. But now there’s nothing at all. Little Shirahoshi is finally safe!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>\"Indeed! Many thanks to you both! You’ve done me a huge favor!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Karl shook his head: \"It was just a matter of convenience. Besides, Shirahoshi is only temporarily safe. To eliminate the threat permanently, Vander Decken must be dealt with.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Neptune naturally understood this logic. After a moment of thought, he said: \"How about I immediately summon the Neptune Army to sweep the area around Fish-Man Island and find the Flying Pirates?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>\"Rear Admiral Karl, do you think this is feasible?\"\u003C\u002Fp>",1212,"2026-06-16T20:20:51.518Z","2026-06-17T08:56:49.806Z",1,"Gemini 3.1 Flash Lite","8a45390a6ac60c4d8692ace14729eef2790f448d482ad2759d506d4a540436d8","one-piece-i-grow-stronger-by-slacking-off-as-a-n-chapter-96","one-piece-i-grow-stronger-by-slacking-off-as-a-n-chapter-94",397,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fone-piece-i-grow-stronger-by-slacking-off-as-a-n-cover.jpg"]
