The banquet held in Ryugu Castle for the Straw Hats lasted for more than three hours before it ended, mainly because of the presence of Luffy and Joyini Boni, two super foodies, which made the food almost in short supply. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info

However, William can also see that the purpose of the Neptune family to entertain the Straw Hats may not be just for the sake of looking at Jinping, nor because the comeback of the Straw Hats has indirectly helped them. William speculated that perhaps Fish-Man Island needed the support of the Straw Hats.

Although Fish-Man Island is the territory of Whitebeard's gang, it is also one of the most feared enemies of the World Government. As the king of Fish-Man Island, Neptune naturally has to consider the interests of his country and people first. Especially the relationship between Straw Hat Luffy and Fire Fist Ace, coupled with the addition of Jinping, makes the Straw Hats the best target for Fish-Man Island.

Because in William's view, Jinping is a person who attaches great importance to affection. Normally, it would be impossible for him to choose to join the Straw Hats when his country was at war. However, William also doesn't think that Jinping is someone who will betray or take advantage of his companions, or that he has made some kind of deal with Luffy, but these are not things that William needs to care about.

And William didn't think that this was a good agreement between Jinping and King Neptune, because William believed in Jinping's character. Perhaps King Neptune took Luffy's background into account, and Trafalgar Rowe had been on Fish-Man Island for more than a month, William believed that King Neptune's wisdom should have guessed that he was waiting for the Straw Hats to appear on Fish-Man Island, otherwise he would not have been entertained with Trafalgar Rowe at the banquet.

Towards the end of the banquet, William left Ryugu Castle with the castle legion, and Luffy was naturally reluctant to eat delicious food, Zoro was reluctant to give up the wine in Ryugu Castle, and Sanji was definitely reluctant to give up the mermaids here.

When Nicole Robin learned that there was also a piece of history here on Fish-Man Island, she said she wanted to see it. So Jinping led the way, and Chopper and Brooke accompanied him. Although the current Fish-Man Island is not stable, it has the protection of Jinping, and even if you encounter a master from the new world, you will not have any problems. After all, Nicole Robin and the three of them have also practiced very hard in the past two years.

And Aladdin, as the captain of the new fish-man pirate ship, also said goodbye to King Neptune and left Ryugu Castle after the banquet.

"Are you going to Fish-Man Street?" Trafalgar Rowe, who had left Ryugu City with William, asked curiously.

"I want to see a friend!" In fact, in addition to wanting to visit Hachi, William mainly wanted to find out how Hody Kings and Vander Dyckon were doing.

As a staff officer, you have to keep everything under your control, and to do that, gathering intelligence is a necessary first step. In particular, these two, like time bombs, are both factors of instability.

However, William just thought that Trafalgar Rowe had been on Fish-Man Island for more than a month, and he might have known a lot about Fish-Man Street. So William asked, "Rowe, have you heard of Hody Kings and Vander Dyken?"

"I've heard of it!" Trafalgar Rowe simply admitted that he had heard the names of these two people, but what Trafalgar Rowe said next made William a little shocked: "Hody Kings died in battle against the World Government three months ago! Van der Daken is the crazy suitor of Princess Shirahoshi, and when he was protecting Princess Shirahoshi before, he was also injured a lot, and his whereabouts are still unknown!"

William knew that Hody Kings had once been one of the best soldiers in Ryugu City, and that he was also a powerful Jaw-man. However, because this person grew up in an environment of resentment and hatred, his psychology has been seriously distorted. And William also knows that Hody Kings was involved in the assassination of Fish-Man Island Queen Otohime, but William is not a detective, so there is no need to find the truth back then.

William only knew that Hoddy Kings had become the boss of Fishman Street after leaving the King's Army, but William did not expect that Hoddy Kings had been killed in the war. But if you think about it seriously, this may be a good thing! Otherwise, if this person is still alive, he will secretly cause trouble for them like the original plot!

Vander Dyken, on the other hand, is an elusive fish-man pirate who travels on a pirate ship left by his ancestors, the Flying Dutchman. However, Vander Dyken is also a psychopath, and has already had a crush on Princess Shirahoshi when she was still very young. William wondered if this Vander Dyken was a pedophile pervert.

It is said that each generation of the Vander family has been cursed by the "target curse" and has become an alternative fish-man who cannot swim, and already has the Devil Fruit ability of the superhuman target fruit. However, William knew that this so-called curse was actually the inheritance of the Devil Fruit's ability.

Under normal circumstances, after the death of a person with Devil Fruit ability, the Devil Fruit of this ability will regrow in other places, but the Vander family has the ability to pass on the Devil Fruit ability. This reminded William of Blackbeard's method of stealing Whitebeard's Shock Fruit during the Top-Up War. If you master this method, you may be able to capture the opponent's Devil Fruit ability after killing the opponent's Devil Fruit ability.

"Why do you know about these two?" Trafalgar Rowe quickly noticed that there was something wrong with William's inquiry. Although Hody Kings and Vander Dyken are famous on Fish-Man Island, in the outside world, they are just small people.

"I learned from a friend before, and he's also a fishman!" William blamed Hachi for the reason he knew. William was not afraid of the suspicions of the Castle Legion, not even Nochigaard.

Because it is not the first time that William and Hachi have met on Fish-Man Island, as early as when they were in the East China Sea Coco West Village, William had already communicated with Hachi. Although Nokigao was one of the victims of the former dragon gang, Nokigao did not join the Straw Hats at that time. And Noqigao also knows that Hachi's mind is not very flexible, even if she wants to confirm whether Hachi has said these things, it is estimated that Hachi himself can't remember clearly.

But Nokigao didn't know that when Hodi Kings became the boss of Fish-Man Street, the evil dragon had already left Fish-Man Island and left the Great Voyage, and at that time, Hachi had already begun to follow the evil dragon.

As for van der Daken, it is Van der Daken IX to be precise. He was a descendant of the original Van der Dyken, and the names Van der Dyken and The Flying Dutchman are recorded even in some story books, and it is not surprising that William casually gave an excuse to say that he had read it in that book.

William also knew that Vander Dyken IX was a proud man, and that the dragon had invited him to do something with him, but he refused on the grounds that he was "unwilling to do things under others".
