Chapter 136: Is it hair or tail?
"It's all thanks to the chaos that Hodi created. I wonder how he is doing." Vander Decken thought of his partner.
Fishman A said: "That guy failed to kill Princess Otohime, and he might have been killed."
"That's such a pity. I wanted to send him an invitation when I get married." Vander Decken said regretfully. It was rare to have someone to send invitations to.
Fishman B said, "That's because he was useless. He failed to kill Princess Otohime and almost delayed the captain's plan."
"As expected of the captain, he was able to find a way to get close to Princess Shirahoshi in that situation!" Fishman A came out to support the joke at the right time.
"Hahaha, I finally squeezed into the crowd, and took advantage of the chaos to touch a strand of Princess Shirahoshi's hair." Vander Decken had solemnly put on a glove on his right hand to prevent contact with other people.
His subordinates complimented him again, and Vander Decken said narcissistically: "After seeing the love letter, Princess Shirahoshi must have fallen in love with me."
Fishman B pointed out the blind spot bluntly: "But Captain, Princess Shirahoshi doesn't know you at all, right?"
"Huh?" Vander Decken was stunned. It seemed that Princess Shirahoshi had never seen his handsome face. Even if he signed his name, she would not know what he looked like.
"That won't do. In that case, just send another photo, okay? Hehehe..."
Vander Decken finally found a photo that he thought looked handsome and threw it out.
…
At night, a photo flew into Ryugu Castle and stuck to the base of Tom's tail.
Tom felt someone patting his butt . He woke up with a start and turned around to see something on his butt.
Tom tore off the photo, took a look at it, and threw it away. He yawned and snuggled into Zhang Da's quilt to continue sleeping.
Zhang Da also tightened the pillow in his arms and turned over in his sleep.
"So people who don't sleep well shouldn't sleep with their pets."
The next morning, Zhang Da also skillfully picked up Tom and shook him to restore him to his original state.
Tom has almost gotten used to it. It doesn't matter as it doesn't hurt.
"Hey, what is this?" After getting up, Zhang Da also saw the photo on the ground.
Four legs, two hands, four pairs of green overalls, a yellow cape and a top hat, hunched shoulders, messy hair, and a pose that he thought looked handsome.
"Is this Vander Decken? Where did you get this photo?"
Tom shook his head to indicate that he didn't know where it came from.
Tom really didn't know. When he was discussing the devil fruit yesterday, he was still thinking about the grilled fish he left outside. Now he thought it was blown by the wind.
Don’t you think about the fact that there is no wind inside the palace of Dragon Palace City?
"Forget it, I'll just give it to Neptune as a wanted poster."
At this time Zhang Da also realized that something was wrong. There should be no photo of Vander Decken in Longgong City. Could it be that he threw this in?
Then why did it fly into his room?
While he was wondering, another letter squeezed in through the crack in the door and stuck to Tom's face as he looked at him with a puzzled look.
Tom tore the envelope away from his face. It was written "From Princess Shirahoshi".
Tom tilted his head and quickly opened the envelope. Zhang Da also leaned over to take a look curiously.
"Dear Princess Shirahoshi, this is a love letter that I wrote after staying up late. My love for you is very deep, as deep as this dark ocean. Do you feel it? You must be moved! After seeing my handsome photo, have you fallen in love with me? Then please marry me!"
The signature is Vander Decken IX.
Zhang Daye: “…”
What a bad love talk, what bad handwriting, could you please find a primary school Chinese class representative to write it for you?
It's impossible for something like this to move anyone, and the photo was indeed sent by him.
Most importantly, could it be that the person he marked was Tom and not Shirahoshi? Was the love letter delivered to Shirahoshi yesterday because she was playing with Tom?
What a pit!
"Tom, did anyone strange touch you yesterday?" Zhang Da also wanted to confirm. Maybe Vander Decken touched the wrong person in his haste?
Tom tilted his head and thought about it, then nodded and shook his head, indicating that maybe there was but he couldn't remember.
"Forget it, let's tell other people about this first." Zhang Da also gave up. Tom was always intermittently unreliable. After all, sometimes he couldn't even notice that his tail was chopped off, let alone just touching it.
…
"What? The one he marked was not Shirahoshi, but the kitten?" Neptune's face was obviously happy, but he soon realized that this was not a good idea:
"Well, but the love letter and photos are still aimed at Shirahoshi. Minister Zuo, make copies of the photos immediately and issue a nationwide wanted notice for him!"
The left minister took the order and left. The right minister said, "Your Majesty, yesterday's search yielded no clues at all. Even with the photos today... I'm afraid he has already escaped from Fishman Island."
"This is the only way we can look for it for now. We'll also send out patrols to search outside the island." Neptune had no other options. Once they got to that corner of the deep sea, there was really no place to look.
Princess Otohime was not present today. Neptune asked Princess Otohime and Shirahoshi to hide in the Hard Shell Tower temporarily because he was worried that Vander Decken might throw something dangerous.
That is the strongest building in Ryugu Castle. Even Neptune couldn't break it down. Don't think that Neptune is weak. His body is as big as that of the giants, which makes him very strong. He is also proficient in mermaid jutsu.
The reason why he didn't perform well at the beginning of the plot was because he was already old by then and couldn't move even after using a big move.
Now that we know Shirahoshi hasn't been marked as a target, we can let her out to play.
After arranging the search, Neptune approached Tom with a friendly face and said, "Kitty, er, no, Mr. Tom, do you want anything to eat?
I'll order the kitchen to make it for you right away... By the way , Shirahoshi accompanied you fishing yesterday, right? From now on, you can catch any fish in Ryugu Castle. Do you want me to help you catch a whale?"
This person is the one who saved Shirahoshi from a disaster, so he must repay him well. In addition, the lady named Altria also helped Otohime block a bullet yesterday, which was another life-saving favor. Neptune felt that he owed more and more favors.
Zhang Da also took two steps back while holding Tom. It's awkward to have such a big face close to him, okay? And Uncle Neptune, you look like you're going to give Tom his last lunch.
Tom didn't care about it. He rubbed his hands with a dreamy look in his eyes. Various sea fish, either steamed or braised, appeared in his mind, and saliva dripped from the corners of his mouth.
"No problem!" Neptune waved his hand and summoned a servant. "Tell them to prepare these dishes immediately."
After a few seconds, Neptune fell into deep thought. Why can I understand Mr. Tom's thoughts? And in such detail!
Could it be that I have obtained an observation Haki that is even more powerful than Otohime?
