Chapter 119: Sea Kings and Strange Ships
Zhang Daye failed to catch up with Tom in the end, but Tom still appeared in his arms.
Because as Tom was swimming, he suddenly saw a huge wave appear in front of him, and then a ferocious monster emerged from the water.
The monster was estimated to be over two hundred meters long, with a dorsal fin and a caudal fin on its body. It was light yellow in color and had a strange shape. It was undoubtedly a sea king, but just a smaller one.
Tom was frightened by it and threw himself back into Zhang Daye's arms, trembling.
In fact, Zhang Da was also scared when looking at this thing. More than two hundred meters is probably equivalent to a hundred floors. Forgive his limited knowledge has never seen such a big creature. It feels that even if his sword is stabbed into it, it is just like being stung by a bee?
However, this sea king's attention was not on them, but on another target.
It is a boat. To be more precise, it is a boat carried by eels that are dozens of meters long. Probably eels.
The sea king opened its mouth to bite, but the eel dodged flexibly.
"Altria, Shark Chili! Help!"
The ship had a red sail and a white flag with an unclear symbol on it, so it was most likely not a pirate. However, Zhang Da was not so stubborn as to just rush up there, so he decided to leave the matter to someone capable.
"Coming!" Artoria was already running over on the sea.
"Leave it to me!" Shark Chili swam over like an arrow and shouted, "Super Shark Giant! Double Super Transformation!"
In just a few seconds, Shark Chili had already driven the giant shark and stabbed the sea king hard on the back with the ship-cutting knife.
It turns out that when the shark giant is summoned, it doesn't have to swim from a long distance. The reason why it is summoned in that way is just because it looks cool.
The situation is urgent now, so of course I can't take care of those things.
The ship-cutting sword in the shark giant's hand is probably equivalent to a fruit knife in front of this sea king that is more than 200 meters long. It still poses a threat, at least it hurts a lot.
The sea king cried out in pain and swung its body vigorously, trying to throw the giant shark away.
"Oh...ah...damn it!" There was a noise coming from the shark giant's loudspeaker, probably because Shark Chili was shaken inside and couldn't stand steadily.
Zhang Da also decided to remind him to add a seat with a seat belt to the cockpit later.
The shark giant didn't last long before being thrown away, but raised his left hand in mid-air: "Damn you, try this trick, Shark Cannon!"
A beam of golden light pierced through the sea king's tail. The sea king roared and turned around, wanting to bite this chic little thing to pieces.
"I missed." Shark Chili's depressed voice came out. He wanted to aim at the head.
Faced with the bloody mouth rushing towards him, Shark Chili is not at all panicked because someone will block it for him.
"Haa~" Altria stood in front of the sea king and slashed it right in the neck with a huge golden blow.
The sea king let out a mournful wail, fell down, splashing a lot of water, and turned upside down, not moving anymore.
As they stepped on the corpses of the sea kings, Zhang Da couldn't help but think of what Usopp had boasted: he had seen a giant goldfish and even used its feces as an island to land...
Pah, that's a bit disgusting. What they are stepping on now can be eaten.
Tom was running around on the sea king's body, and Rui Mengmeng looked around and helped Tom speak out his true feelings: "It's so big, even we can't finish it, right?"
Shark Chili compared the data he knew and said, "A blue whale that is more than 30 meters long weighs nearly 200 tons. How much does this guy weigh?"
No matter how many tons it weighed, Altria knew that it was too big to be stewed in one pot, so she was observing which parts looked more delicious and prepared to cut them off and take them away.
"I think we should pay more attention to that ship." Zhang Da also pointed to the ship that was slowly approaching them.
However, no one paid any attention to him. Everyone was more interested in the sea king under their feet. Zhang Da also saw that Altria was the same, so he knew that the people who came were either not hostile or too weak.
Soon, the big eel carrying the boat stopped to the side, and a frail-looking man walked to the side of the boat and waved to them: "Hello, thank you for saving me!"
Zhang Da also looked carefully. The blonde had a round face, a white wide-sleeved top, a long skirt with red fish-scale patterns, a red corset with white edges, and a white ribbon. This outfit looked familiar:
"You are...Princess Otohime of Fishman Island?"
Princess Otohime was stunned for a moment, then asked with a smile, "I didn't expect you to know me. Would it be convenient for you to come aboard and have a chat?"
Perhaps it was the word "Fishman Island" that attracted the attention of others, causing them to finally look up.
"Okay." Zhang Da also agreed readily. He had the impression that Princess Otohime had always been committed to getting the residents of Fish-Man Island to move to the sea, hoping that humans and fish-men could live in peace. And listening to her speak, he felt that she was full of kindness.
"I'll put down the ladder right away!" Princess Otohime was overjoyed. It was rare to meet someone so easy to communicate with.
"No need to be so troublesome." Zhang Da also picked up Tom and jumped over the sea king, and others followed suit.
"Huh?" Several people looked at their feet in surprise because they stepped on a layer of bubble wrap.
"This is the ship after coating." Princess Otohime explained.
Zhang Da also observed carefully that the whole ship was wrapped in a layer of bubbles: "Although I have heard of it in Shampoo, this is the first time I have seen a real coated ship."
"Let me formally introduce myself. I am Otohime, the princess of the Ryugu Kingdom of Fishman Island. I just came back from Marijoa and am preparing to return to Fishman Island."
A few days ago, there were rumors that the Celestial Dragon Musgard was sent back to Marijoa, but now it seems that it was Princess Otohime who went there in person.
"My name is Zhang Daye. I'm currently a resident of the Sabaody Archipelago. My main job is running a tavern, my side job is a bounty hunter, and my part-time job is... fishing." When talking about fishing, Zhang Daye pointed to the sea king next to him.
Princess Otohime was slightly surprised, and then she laughed with her hands covering her mouth at his words. If this could be considered fishing, then the standards of the fishermen were too high.
The others briefly introduced themselves. Altria and Shark Chili were calm, but Rui Mengmeng was a little uncomfortable. "The princess, she sounds like a big shot."
Tom made a fuss and wanted to get out of Zhang Daye's arms. He wanted to step on the coated boat.
"You can go down, but don't stick out your claws. It will be very troublesome if the bubble wrap is damaged." Zhang Da let him go only after Tom nodded. Logically speaking, the coating on the boat should not be that fragile, but Tom didn't follow the rules.
Princess Otohime was a little concerned about Shark Chili: "This question may be a bit offensive, you said you are a robot? Not a fishman?"
"It is indeed a robot, but its appearance may be similar to that of a fishman." Shark Chili patted his chest, making a sound of steel colliding.
Zhang Da also suddenly thought that maybe he could ask him to perform the stone-breaking chest trick.
Princess Otohime nodded, then bowed slightly and said, "Excuse me, thank you for saving me just now."
"Don't be so polite. In fact, I think you will be fine even without us." Zhang Da also felt that although the big fish under the boat looked stupid, it was very agile. Moreover, in the timeline without them, Princess Otohime returned to Fishman Island safely.
"You can't say that." Princess Otohime shook her head slightly, then smiled and said, "Please come sit in the cabin, at least let me entertain you."
"Okay." Zhang Da also looked at his companions. No one objected. There was nothing urgent anyway, and they were still very curious about Fishman Island.
Everyone followed Princess Otohime into the cabin. Because the ship was coated with a film, the entrance was actually blocked by a layer of bubble film, but it did not affect passage, and people could walk through it directly without breaking the bubble.
When entering the door, Zhang Da did not forget to turn around and pull the jumping Tom in.
After they sat down in the cabin, Princess Otohime personally poured tea for them.
Zhang Da also looked at the empty cabin and asked, "I was concerned at the beginning. It seems that you are the only one on this ship? Is it really okay without even a guard?"
