Chapter 459

"Mermaid Princess!"

In the beautiful East Sea Dragon Palace, a legend has been passed down.

It is not just protected by myths; the Mermaid Princess even possesses unique skills.

As for the Dragon King, everyone also holds super-strong secret techniques used to protect this land.

Coming to this Dragon Palace, they actually want to see this exquisite place.

Being able to see the Mermaid Princess, whom ordinary people cannot see, is their fortune of three lifetimes.

"The person who most wants to see the Mermaid Princess right now should be someone else, right?"

Nami listened and complained without hesitation.

It is a pity that because that person lost too much blood, he had already fainted long ago and is still undergoing emergency treatment now.

Only after his condition improves a bit can he be brought over; the imperial physicians here will also follow up on his nutritional supplements.

They had just arrived when two ministers immediately surrounded them.

They started nagging and complaining to the Dragon King endlessly.

"You are really too reckless; how could you go out alone?"

"To think you didn't even bring a single guard; what is this? If any other problem arises, what should be done? You must not harm your noble dragon body!"

The Left Minister and the Right Minister both attacked at once.

The Dragon King listened to the two of them scolding him like this and did not dare to talk back at all.

He just stood there obediently and let them scold him.

【What is wrong with this Dragon King? He just lets these two ministers scold him like that? He has no dignity at all!】

【That is to say, this Dragon King is unusually majestic outside, but back in his own palace, he is obediently lectured like a child.】

【This contrast is too cute! This is simply too funny!】

【What did those two ministers do wrong? They are just worried about their monarch running around!】

"From now on, no matter where you want to go, you must report to our internal affairs office!"

"If you go over at this time, it will have a considerable impact on the public!"

"These must be the Straw Hat Pirates who were invited; we will treat them well!"

Even if the ministers were still a little helpless, they still complied with the monarch's wishes.

As for this group of people in front of them, it doesn't matter if they are martial arts heroes or not; anyway, they have done a great favor to the East Sea Dragon Palace.

Arriving at their Dragon Palace as guests of honor today, they naturally have to provide the best treatment.

It is said that offending them is the most terrifying thing.

These two ministers almost covered everything, the affairs of the entire Dragon Palace from top to bottom; they also poured a lot of heart and blood into this Dragon Palace.

Before he became the Dragon King, the two of them were already the ministers who assisted him in taking the throne.

The two saw that the monarch had compromised, but they still did not intend to let it go just like that, and continued to nag.

Nami and Usopp just listened to the person in front of them nagging.

They did not notice at all that Luffy was already gone behind them.

Turning their heads and finding that their captain was missing, the heartbeats of both of them skipped a beat.

"Where is Luffy?"

Just looking at it, they both felt that it was very likely that he did not follow them over.

But they were there on the giant whale the whole time; that person just disappeared after entering the Dragon Palace.

"This guy is really, why does he love running around so much?"

Nami thought, and it gave her an even worse headache.

This is indeed not reassuring at all.

The banquet is about to start, and this Dragon Palace is so big; can they find him before the banquet starts?

It must be said that this captain is really not reliable at all.

Dragon Palace.

Luffy kept moving in the direction of the scent.

"The closer I get to here, the richer the fragrance of this food becomes; there must be something to eat!"

"The buildings here are all so big! There must be more food inside!"

Thinking about this, Luffy became even more excited.

【Why is Luffy so cheerful here alone?】

【It must be said that this is also quite cute; everyone has a contrast that one cannot refuse!】

【Wait, in this background, could it be that he got into a fight with someone on the way to find food?】

【I have a feeling that something very major will happen next! Everyone must remember one point, and that is that mermaids have already been caught on the shore!】

【You reminded me of that, but this is Li Bu's business; what does it have to do with the Straw Hat Pirates?】

【That wine barrel was brought by the Straw Hat Pirates; the people of the East Sea Dragon Palace might think that they did this thing.】

【That is also true, but it is impossible to fight because of this matter, right? That Li Bu is just a straw bag, isn't he?】

【If he were really a straw bag, then his bounty would not be a full five thousand silver; he still has a certain threat to the imperial court.】

【However, his magical secret ability is indeed specifically for dealing with mermaids; all mermaids have no power to fight back at all.】

【Doesn't that mean it is a three-way pincer attack now? The imperial court is hunting, and as for that magical fierce drug user...】

【You upstairs, don't say any more, don't spoil it!】

Luffy followed the fragrance to a palace gate.

Looking at the palace gate that was several times taller than his own height, he did not hesitate to use all his strength to pull it.

Inside was a piece of darkness, paired with gloomy music, making people a little curious about what was inside.

As for Luffy, he didn't care about that; he only knew that this room smelled so good.

Just stepping inside, the fragrance became even richer.

This confirmed one point: there must be food here!

Thinking about this, he became even more excited.

But it was pitch black here, and he didn't see anything at all.

He walked forward based on intuition, but bumped into a very large and soft thing.

"Whoa! This soft touch, it's meat for sure!"

Luffy's eyes lit up, and he kept rubbing the thing in front of him.

That touch, that fragrance, was definitely the meat he dreamed of.

But he didn't expect it to be so huge; this is enough for him to eat for several meals!

He hugged the meat in front of him very excitedly, thinking that he was about to start eating.

The room suddenly returned to light, and the candles on the walls all lit up.

Luffy only saw a white expanse in front of him, and when he looked up, he met a pair of beautiful eyes filled with water mist.

"Who are you?"

"How did you appear on my bed?"

The Mermaid Princess flicked her fish tail, and the more she thought about it, the more she broke down.

She started dropping little pearls.

Luffy looked at the Mermaid Princess who appeared in front of him, and was also a little confused.

Wasn't the place he just entered a warehouse?

Why isn't there a single piece of meat here? Instead, such a huge mermaid appeared in front of him.

Thinking about this, he was a little disappointed.

He had traveled a very long distance to get here, and now he was really starving; he didn't want to deal with other things.

The Mermaid Princess in front looked at Luffy without any reaction, and the more she thought about it, the more aggrieved she felt.

She started to wail, "Brother, Father!"

Her voice instantly spread throughout all the sleeping quarters.

【It's over, it's over; the Mermaid Princess is calling for backup.】

【The Third Prince loves his sister so much; now that he has come here, he will definitely beat Luffy up without hesitation!】
