Chapter 529: One Piece
"Oh, this is really good, delicious! This is delicious too. I didn't expect that kelp can be made so refreshing. I like it."
At the banquet, Xia Yu ate the delicacies prepared by Dragon Palace in big mouthfuls. He liked to eat in big mouthfuls, which made him very satisfied. He would chew slowly and savor the food carefully only after he was 80% full.
Although his eating manners were a bit rude, no one dared to show contempt.
"Haha, it's our honor that your Excellency is satisfied with the dishes prepared by Dragon Palace." Neptune sat in the lower seat and laughed at Xia Yu who was in the upper seat.
"These dishes are prepared by our Dragon Palace's most senior chefs. The ingredients used are also carefully selected. It takes a lot of time..."
Bang!
Suddenly, Xia Yu slapped the table and said unkindly: "Just eat, why so much nonsense!"
The originally harmonious atmosphere suddenly became quiet, Neptune's face tightened and he didn't dare to speak.
Sensing the tense atmosphere around him, Xia Yu smiled and said, "Let's eat."
Hearing this, the eldest prince Shark Star hurriedly stuffed food into his mouth. As a result, Xia Yu, who was originally smiling, suddenly looked surprised and slammed the table.
"You really want to eat it?"
“…”
The atmosphere fell silent again. The others at the table didn't know whether to eat or not. No one knew why Xia Yu suddenly became so moody.
A few seconds later, Xia Yu suddenly couldn't hold back his laughter and burst into laughter . After laughing, he took a few deep breaths and said, "I was just kidding you."
He had wanted to try this for a long time, and now that the opportunity was right, he couldn't help but give it a try and learn from the evil young marshal.
It's a pity that there was no bloodshed, otherwise the effect would be more realistic, but it's not necessary to kill someone just for a joke.
Seeing that Xia Yu seemed to be joking, Neptune, who had been stiff all over, relaxed his tense muscles and said with a wry smile: "Sir, I thought we were not treating you well enough."
"Hey, you're not wrong."
Xia Yu wiped his mouth with a silk scarf and frowned, "I heard that the mermaid princess who lives in the Dragon Palace Kingdom under the sea is so beautiful that she won't lose to the Pirate Queen Hancock. Why didn't I see her coming to the banquet today?"
"Neptune, are you afraid that I will fall in love with the mermaid princess, so you deliberately don't let her appear in front of me? Are you looking down on me?"
Neptune immediately broke out in a sweat after being given such a big hat. He panicked and explained, "No, no, no, I don't mean to look down on you. There is a reason why Shirahoshi didn't show up. Please allow me to explain!"
Seeing that Xia Yu was not impatient, Neptune explained hurriedly: "It was a tiger shark named Vander Decken IX who was madly pursuing my daughter. He is the user of the Target Target Fruit. At first, he just threw a marriage proposal letter to Shirahoshi, but later he intensified his pursuit by intimidation. Shirahoshi stayed in the hard shell tower to avoid sniping. She couldn't even attend her mother's funeral."
"It's not that I don't want Shirahoshi to attend the party, but I only have one daughter, and I'm really afraid that she will get hurt."
As he spoke, Neptune looked ashamed. After all, as a father, the only way to protect his daughter from harm was to let her stay in the house.
After hearing this explanation, even though he already knew the whole story, Xia Yu still looked disdainful: "You are really useless. You can't even protect your own daughter. Can't you just lead the troops to kill that Jiushi?"
"Feel sorry……"
Neptune's tone was bitter. It's not that he had not ordered a hunt for the other party, but the other party did not give him any chance to capture him.
Looking at Neptune like this, Xia Yu sighed. Is this the Great Knight of the Sea? He probably called himself that.
"Sebastian, go and kill that Ninth World, quickly."
"yes!"
Following Xia Yu's order, the old butler standing behind Xia Yu disappeared instantly. This is also the advantage of having subordinates. You don't need to do anything yourself.
"Thank you for your help to Shirahoshi."
Xia Yu's voice was not small, so Neptune also heard it. He immediately stood up and bowed to Xia Yu to express his gratitude.
Xia Yu waved his hand and said, "Don't worry about it, I just wanted to do that."
Not long after, before the banquet was over, the old butler came back, and with him came the head of a murloc, which was the head of Deacon IX.
Seeing that the fish-man pirate who had harassed his daughter was really dead, Neptune felt relieved and went directly to the Hardshell Tower, ready to personally welcome his daughter out.
A moment later, a pink mermaid over ten meters tall came out, held by Neptune's hand. The pink mermaid had long flowing pink curly hair, a Taiyaki-shaped hair accessory on her head, and a light and dark pink fishtail on her lower body.
This giant mermaid is none other than Princess Shirahoshi. At this moment, Shirahoshi is looking at Xia Yu curiously with her bright blue eyes. From what her father said, the other party is the hero who can protect her from being bullied and build a hard-shell tower.
Xia Yu was also looking at Bai Xing at this moment. It had to be said that the fantasy world was unreasonable. Logically speaking, Bai Xing was only twelve years old at this moment, but her plump bust made Bai Xing look like a little girl at all.
But the little girl is not more than ten meters tall, and this little girl is not a human, but a mermaid.
"Thank you, Your Excellency, for defeating the bad guys and allowing me to get out of the Hardshell Tower."
After walking to the dining table, Bai Xing lowered his head and looked at Xia Yu and spoke softly. Although he was so big in size, his voice was so small.
Xia Yu smiled slightly at Bai Xing's thanks, and suddenly asked, "Do you want to see the sun?"
"Huh?"
Shirahoshi was a little surprised and couldn't help but look at his father. Facing Shirahoshi's gaze, Neptune suppressed the joy in his heart and silently gave Shirahoshi an encouraging look.
Seeing his father encouraging him, Bai Xing slowed down, nodded and said, "I want to see the real sunshine, the warm sunshine described in the book."
"Okay, I'll satisfy you."
Xia Yu smiled lightly and snapped his fingers. In an instant, the entire Fishman Island suddenly trembled slightly.
Under the stunned gaze of Neptune and the others, the entire Fishman Island gradually began to float up.
Xia Yu had already figured out how to let Fishman Island see the sunlight. He just needed to use his telekinesis to lift Fishman Island to the land on the sea surface.
Fishman Island itself is a special environment formed by bubbles, and it is full of air, so it is quite easy to float up, and Xia Yu didn't even feel anything.
Because of the meticulous operation, the residents of Fishman Island didn't even know what had happened. Only the fishmen on the edge of the island noticed it.
Meanwhile, in the Chabaoti Archipelago.
The rising of the Fishman Island in the sea directly led to the surge of undercurrents in the sea, causing the sea around Shampoo to surge and the waves to rise and fall.
The ships that were originally preparing to sail were pushed back to the dock, but they did not suffer any damage.
Soon, under the incredulous sight of the residents of the Sabaody Archipelago, a thin line suddenly appeared in the calm sea, and then it parted like a myth.
Divide the sea!
Even though there is no story of Moses parting the sea in this world, everyone who watched it knew that this was a miracle.
In the divided sea, a fantasy island wrapped in bubbles flew out. The residents of the Sabaody Archipelago were surprised and puzzled about this fantasy island.
Perhaps only the pirates who entered and exited the New World would know that this island was Fishman Island. However, in order to collect enough ransom, Pluto Rayleigh captured all the pirates in the Sabaody Archipelago.
At this moment, only ordinary residents and some bounty hunters are left in the Sabaody Archipelago.
Inside Fishman Island.
“Is this what sunshine feels like?”
The eldest prince Shark Star opened his arms, wanting to feel the sunlight as much as possible. This was the first time he was in Dragon Palace and could face the sunlight on the sea.
His two younger brothers had already started dancing excitedly, with unstoppable smiles on their faces.
"What a warm light."
Shirahoshi's eyes were sparkling. Everything in the outside world was new to her. She had never even seen Fishman Island, let alone the sea.
Only Neptune remained calm on the surface, but his slightly trembling hands revealed his inner thoughts.
Of course, the most surprised were the residents of Fishman Island. After all, they knew nothing, but the sunlight was already shining on them through the bubbles.
That was the sunshine that they had only understood but never experienced personally.
Feeling the various emotions coming from the surroundings, Xia Yu leaned back in his chair and exhaled: "Alas, I am tired, and it is time to announce the end of the old era."
Time flies, the days and months pass by like a shuttle.
In a blink of an eye, two days passed.
During these two days, the whole world learned something extremely shocking, that is, Fishman Island was no longer ten thousand meters under the sea, but appeared on land.
It is said that it was done by the celestial dragons, who are called gods. One of the gods among the celestial dragons brought the island to more than 10,000 meters by himself.
After this news appeared in the newspapers, everyone had different emotions. Surprise and shock were the most common, but there were also some who expressed disdain and indifference.
However, the headlines that shocked the world were not over yet. Soon, news came from the sea and spread to all parts of the world through news birds.
Each piece of news was enough to shock the world, but suddenly it spread to all parts of the world on the same day.
Whitebeard, the strongest man in the world, suddenly announced that the era of pirates was over. Pirates were not the freest people in the world. They were just a group of despicable people who ignored order and robbed ordinary people.
This news has just come out, and BIG·MOM, one of the Four Emperors, also directly announced that she will disband the BIG·MOM Pirate Group. The era of pirates is over.
At the same time, another of the Four Emperors, Kaido, also announced that he would disband the Beasts Pirates, and all members of the Beasts Pirates would become laborers to build the coming new era.
Among the Four Emperors, only the last one, Shanks, did not express anything.
But even if there were only three emperors, the announcement still caused an uproar around the world.
When Shanks received the news, he was confused. What happened? Why did they suddenly announce the end of the pirate era?
Are those guys crazy? Kaido and Linlin are possible, but Whitebeard can't be crazy too.
However, before he could ask clearly, two more shocking things happened.
First, the World Government cooperated with the Navy to launch a purge, and all the Celestial Dragons in Marijoa were beheaded live, even the Five Elders were no exception. The era of the Celestial Dragons ended.
Secondly, the great treasure "one piece" has been made public, which means that the great treasure is no longer the proof of the Pirate King. Even if one reaches the end of the Grand Line - the legendary island of Raftel, the person who arrives will no longer be the Pirate King. After all, the pirate era is over.
The demise of the Celestial Dragons and the disclosure of the Great Secret Treasure brought to an end the Great Pirate Era created by Gol D. Roger.
Without the Celestial Dragons, the world no longer needs pirates seeking freedom.
Of course, the death of the Celestial Dragons does not mean the disappearance of order. The World Government still exists. The only change is the new announcement issued by the World Government.
If there is a pirate group that has not done any evil or robbed civilians, they can go to Marinford to file a complaint. As long as they pay a bail equal to their bounty, they can register as a sailing group.
The crew can still continue their adventure and even continue traveling along the Grand Line. As long as they reach the legendary island of Raftel, they can gain the same glory as the Pirate King.
Its name is One Piece!
Although he lost money, wealth and status, at least he still had glory. After all, One Piece is also a king.
These two things directly shocked the world. In a short period of time, not only did the pirates disappear, the Celestial Dragons disappeared, and even the great secret treasure was made public, making everyone a little dizzy.
But the world has not stopped changing. After all, the old era has just ended, and the new era is still in its infancy.
Perhaps the new era will not truly arrive until a few years later.
[One Piece]: It ended so suddenly, I feel a little dazed.
[Sekiro]: Come on, be content. After all, you were born as a Celestial Dragon when you traveled through time and space, and you have never suffered any hardship. You joined the chat group while you were still enjoying yourself. What else are you not satisfied with?
[Nioh 2]: That’s right, when I first traveled through time, I almost got eaten by a monster. Now that I think about it, it was so tragic.
[One Piece]: Well, the world is different after all. But since we are already in the group, let’s not talk about the past.
[NieR: Automata]: How are they? Are those androids useful?
[One Piece]: It is indeed useful. Compared with humans with desires, androids who act according to settings are more useful.
After the purge of the World Government in the One Piece world, a large number of positions were left vacant. It was obviously too late to promote them slowly. Fortunately, Neil Xia Yu gave a suggestion, which was to use androids to replace them first.
I have to say that androids are really useful, and they are the kind of androids in the NieR world that have their own selves and are dedicated to serving humans.
Under Xia Yu's arrangement, those artificial humans will only obey him. After promoting real talents, he will slowly let humans replace the artificial humans.
In the end, it is humans themselves who are needed to rule over them.
[One Piece]: But speaking of this, I didn’t expect that the truth about Im and Joyboy would be like that. It’s really hard to imagine.
[Sekiro]: Indeed, if I hadn’t seen it with my own eyes, I would never have imagined that the truth about One Piece would be like this. It’s really unexpected.
[Fox Spirit Matchmaker]: How should I put it? It’s not unexpected, but it’s expected. After all, if you follow Oda’s train of thought, you can think of this truth.
[Niouji]: Having said that, it's still hard to imagine. This truth does have some truth to it.
