Chapter 528 Fishman Island
"Hmm... I didn't expect them to be so quick. They're already over."
The Celestial Dragon Xia Yu looked at the conversations with other members of the group, stroked his chin and muttered silently. While he was still having fun in the Sabaody Archipelago, the Four Emperors and the Navy had already finished their conversations.
Now we just have to wait for him to announce that the world has changed. After all, the pirate world is his main world.
The other Xia Yus all came here to relax and have fun, and to help him solve his problems. They had no intention of taking over the show.
So it was natural that he, as the master, was needed to announce that the times had changed.
"What did you just say it's over?"
Suddenly, a girl's voice was heard nearby. The person asking the question was the mermaid girl who was forced by Xia Yu to play with him.
While having fun, the mermaid girl gradually realized that Xia Yu was not the kind of human she was afraid of. Instead, he kindly took her to experience all the projects in Shampoo Island Amusement Park without asking her to spend any money.
Therefore, in the process of having fun, the mermaid girls gradually let down their guard. After all, for them, it is almost impossible to have a good time on land.
Looking at this silly mermaid girl, Xia Yu smiled slightly: "I think it's time to end the fun. Aren't you planning to go back to Fishman Island?"
Hearing this, the mermaid girl suddenly realized: "Oh, that's right, Mom doesn't know I'm on land yet, I have to go back and tell her I'm safe!"
After saying that, the mermaid girl hurriedly ran towards the seaside, but after a few steps, she suddenly turned back and bowed deeply to Xia Yu: "Thank you very much for your help. If it weren't for you, I would have been sold!"
"well……"
Looking at the mermaid girl who was thanking him, Xia Yu sighed slightly, patted her head with his hand, and said tiredly: "Are you planning to run back like this? Aren't you afraid of being caught again on the way?"
"ah?"
The mermaid girl looked up in confusion, and after a little thought, she looked scared: "You are right, but...but I don't know how to go back?"
"Forget it, I'll go to Fishman Island with you."
Hearing Xia Yu say this, the mermaid girl was shocked, and then turned shy: "Accompany me? How can I be so embarrassed..."
However, Xia Yu did not answer, but just waved his hand. The next moment, an old man suddenly appeared beside him. It was the old butler who was protecting him in secret.
"Sebastian, I need to go to Fishman Island and ask Ryugu to get ready."
"Yes, Master!"
Going to Fishman Island was not a sudden idea of Xia Yu's, but an idea he had had for a long time. When he first arrived at the Sabaody Archipelago, he had already decided that Fishman Island would be his next destination.
After all, Princess Shirahoshi of Fishman Island is the Sea King, one of the three ancient weapons. It is said that the Sea King can communicate and command other sea kings, and has the ability to save countless lives as well as the power to destroy the whole world.
The Sea King appears once every hundreds of years. The last mermaid princess with the title of "Sea King" appeared in the "blank history" eight hundred years ago. Now, the one who possesses this ability is Princess Shirahoshi of the Ryugu Kingdom of Fishman Island.
However, the reason why he wanted to meet Shirahoshi was not because of the other party's identity as the Sea King, but because he wanted to try out the huge and soft trampoline.
That’s right, he just wants her body, he’s honest!
After giving the order, the old butler immediately sent someone to notify the Dragon Palace of Fishman Island, while he bought the most expensive coated ship in Shampoo as quickly as possible.
If they wanted to coat the ship they came on, it would be too late, so they had to settle for the next best thing and buy a ship that had already been coated.
In less than half an hour, everything was ready and Xia Yu boarded the coated ship heading to Fishman Island.
Fishman Island is located below the Red Earth Continent, a full 10,000 meters away from the ground . But what is counter-scientific is that there is no water pressure in the deep sea below 10,000 meters, and the mermaids living in it are all ordinary creatures.
Because of this, Fishman Island, which has many beautiful mermaids, is often harassed by pirates.
However, Fishman Island is the territory of fishmen and mermaids after all. There are not many rampant pirates, at least they will not come openly.
The coated ship was diving quite quickly. Although according to common sense, a ship wrapped in a bubble should float upwards due to the air inside, the ship abnormally sank to the bottom of the sea.
In addition, Xia Yu silently increased the speed of the boat, so after a while, they arrived at Fishman Island.
At first glance, Fishman Island looks like a huge bubble on the seabed. Although the fishmen can breathe in the sea, the entire island is surrounded by a huge double-layer semicircular bubble membrane shield, with an air layer in the middle of the two layers of shield.
In addition, inside this huge bubble, there is the sky and clouds, which can be called a miracle under the sea.
All of this is possible because of the giant tree "Sun Tree Eve" near Fishman Island. Sun Tree Eve can transmit the sunlight from the ground to Fishman Island. Therefore, Fishman Island located in the deep sea has sunlight and changes between day and night. Local residents even describe this phenomenon as "the grace of the sun."
However, in Xia Yu's opinion, this should be called "the grace of the big tree."
Only after the coated ship passed through the protective film did Xia Yu and his party truly enter Fishman Island.
"Since you are willing to take me back to Fishman Island, let me be your guide."
After entering Fishman Island, the mermaid girl patted her chest and laughed, saying that she was a native here and it was a good opportunity to repay the other party for saving her.
However, before Xia Yu and others had taken a few steps, two female mermaids suddenly appeared in front of them.
One of the older mermaids looked at the mermaid girl with red eyes and opened his arms. The mermaid girl threw herself directly into the arms of the older mermaid.
"Mom, I'm back."
"***, you're finally back. I thought you were captured by the bounty hunters. I was so worried."
Hearing this, the mermaid girl choked up a little: "I was almost captured, but I was saved by a kind-hearted person. He is that kind-hearted person."
The mermaid girl pointed at Xia Yu, and Xia Yu smiled and nodded, at the same time looking at the other mermaid next to the older mermaid with some surprise in his eyes.
After the deep blue mermaid noticed Xia Yu's gaze, she smiled and bowed, then came to Xia Yu wagging her tail.
"My Lord, I have been waiting for you here for a long time."
The dark blue mermaid has short black hair and cool blue eyes. Her skin is pale under her hoodie and she has purple nail polish on her hands.
Compared to other mermaids, the blue mermaid is much larger, about five meters long, so her bust is also quite plump.
Looking at Xia Li, the great blue shark mermaid in front of him, Xia Yu raised his eyebrows slightly: "Do you know who I am?"
Xia Li shook her head gently: "I'm sorry, I don't know your identity. I only predicted that your arrival will bring unprecedented changes to Fishman Island."
"Tsk tsk, I underestimated you."
Xia Yu looked at the tall Xia Li and was amazed. He knew that Xia Li was a fortune teller and her accuracy in predicting the future with a crystal ball was as high as 100%.
But he didn't expect that this divination could even predict it for him. It seems that the other party does have some ability.
However, Charlie's divination is not without flaws. She cannot predict the exact time when an event will occur, but she knows that it will definitely happen.
Thinking of this, Xia Yu asked curiously: "As far as I know, your divination can't predict the exact time, right? How did you know that I would come here today?"
Facing Xia Yu's curiosity, Xia Li smiled and said, "It is indeed as you said, sir. I cannot predict the exact time of the event, so when I predicted that you would come to Fishman Island in the near future, I just waited here for your arrival without leaving."
Hearing this, Xia Yu was a little surprised. He didn't expect that the man in front of him was also a ruthless person.
"Okay, then you can be my guide. If you serve me well, I will reward you greatly."
Faced with Xia Yu's typical dandy attitude, Xia Li did not feel uncomfortable at all. Instead, she led Xia Yu to visit Fishman Island with a smile on her face.
After all, in her prophecy, Xia Yu was like a fog that could not be seen through, but one point was clearly conveyed, that is, pleasing the other party would definitely bring unimaginable benefits to Fishman Island.
While Xia Yu was having fun, Neptune, the king of the Dragon Palace Kingdom, had already begun preparing for the banquet in a panic.
After all, he had already learned that a celestial dragon was coming as a guest. Although he did not have a very good impression of the celestial dragon, he could not help but take the other party's identity seriously.
Soon, Neptune received a report that the Celestial Dragon was being led by Lady Shirley to tour Fish-Man Island. Although he was somewhat puzzled as to why Lady Shirley wanted to personally greet the Celestial Dragon, he still breathed a sigh of relief.
If the other party came to see him, that would be a real problem. After all, the other party's identity was not someone he could treat equally. He, as the king, would have to go and greet him in person.
Meanwhile, on the other side.
Xia Yu walked on the streets of Fishman Island, marveling at the fishmen and mermaids coming and going. In some ways, Fishman Island was really interesting.
Male mermen and male mermaids really live up to the saying that no one can see them at the bottom of the sea anyway, so they can grow as they please.
However, female mermaids are extremely beautiful, completely different from male mermaids, except for old female mermaids, of course. He has not forgotten Granny Kokoro who is also a mermaid.
It was Granny Kokoro who shattered Sanji's mermaid fantasy.
Thinking of this, Xia Yu secretly breathed a sigh of relief. Fortunately, all the mermaids he met on Fishman Island were young mermaid ladies, otherwise he would have had a nightmare.
Most of the buildings on Fishman Island are built along the coral reefs, so at first glance, it looks like a dreamlike underwater world.
Although there are mermen and mermaids on the road, in fact, the mermen and mermaids on the island live separately, and most of the mermen on the Fishman Street do not welcome humans, so Xia Li was not stupid enough to lead Xia Yu there.
After strolling around for a while, the eldest prince of the Dragon Palace Kingdom, Shark Star, led the Dragon Palace guards to find them.
Two rows of mermaid guards wearing armor and holding weapons formed a wide avenue. In the center of the avenue was a chariot decorated with shells and bubbles, pulled by a large oarfish. The driver was none other than the eldest prince, Shark Star.
After seeing Xia Yu, Shark Star hurriedly got out of the car and bowed to Xia Yu: "Dear Sir Tianlongren, welcome to Fishman Island, we are honored."
"Are you a Celestial Dragon?"
Xia Li looked at Xia Yu in surprise. She didn't expect Xia Yu's identity to be so shocking.
Xia Yu smiled and said, "Why, are you scared?"
Xia Li nodded: "A little bit, I have guessed many identities of yours, but I have never thought of the Celestial Dragons, after all..."
Having said this, Xia Li suddenly shut up, because she suddenly remembered that there was a Celestial Dragon next to her.
"Don't hesitate, I know what you mean. After all, I know the character of other Celestial Dragons."
Xia Yu patted Xia Li's butt. He originally wanted to pat her shoulder, but Xia Li was too tall and he couldn't reach her, so he had to settle for the next best thing.
When Shark Star, who was standing by, saw this scene, his eyes bulged out in surprise, but he quickly came to his senses, quietly lowered his head and ignored the scene.
It's something worth celebrating that the Celestial Dragons have a good relationship with the mermaids, and it seems that Xia Li is not forced, which is even better.
"Okay, let's go to the Dragon Palace."
As Xia Yu got on the car, the welcoming team immediately headed towards the Dragon Palace.
Fishman Island is neither big nor small. After walking for a while, the phoenix-tail carriage reached its destination.
Neptune, the king of the Dragon Palace, was already waiting for Xia Yu to arrive at the door. The moment the phoenix-tail carriage stopped, Neptune hurried forward.
"King of the Ryugu Kingdom, Great Knight of the Sea Neptune, welcomes you to Fishman Island."
Neptune is a coelacanth mermaid with thick hair and beard, and is twelve meters tall. Even when he bends down to salute, Xia Yu has to raise his head to see his face.
"No need to greet, let's take a seat. I'm here mainly to have fun, and by the way, to move Fishman Island to the mainland."
"What?!"
As soon as these words were spoken, Neptune and the surrounding mermaids cried out in surprise, and all looked at Xia Yu in disbelief, as if they were wondering if they had heard it wrong.
Facing their surprised looks, Xia Yu smiled and said, "You heard me right. I do intend to take you from Fishman Island to the mainland. Of course, under my protection, you don't need to worry about being persecuted by humans."
Charlie on the side smiled, it turned out that the so-called great changes in Fishman Island were like this.
She did not doubt the truthfulness of Xia Yu's words. She believed that her divination would not be wrong, and there was no need for the other party to lie to them.
"Sir? Are you telling the truth?" Soon, Neptune came back to his senses first, looking at Xia Yu with complicated eyes and asked.
If Fishman Island could be moved to land, as a king, he would definitely support it, but he also knew that this wish was almost impossible to achieve, just as it was difficult for fishmen and humans to live in harmony.
"Are you questioning God?"
Neptune's questioning made the old butler who followed Xia Yu a little unhappy. Although he also had doubts in his heart, that was not a reason to question the gods.
"No, no, not at all, I didn't mean that."
Neptune waved his hands in panic, and Xia Yu couldn't help laughing. "Don't scare him. I don't blame him."
After waving his hand to let the old butler leave, Xia Yu looked at Neptune again: "I can understand your suspicion, but if what I said is true, don't you want to seize this opportunity?"
Hearing this, Neptune's expression changed several times, and finally he bowed his head deeply and said, "I understand. Please take a seat, Your Excellency. The banquet will begin soon."
It is the wish of all fish-men and mermaids to move Fish-man Island to land. Even if the other party is a Celestial Dragon, he is willing to give it a try.
What if, what if the other party didn’t lie to him?
