A few hours ago, Fish-Man Island, the bay of mermaids.

A few cute merfolk found a sealed wooden barrel and were very curious, so they took a crowbar and other tools to pry it open.

When the lid of the wooden barrel was just lifted, a gloomy voice came from inside: "Whew~ This is enough~"

The mermaid with the crowbar was so frightened that he sat directly on the ground: "What? Is there anyone in there? ”

Sure enough, a sloppy dressed man with a deceitful face came out of it.

"Yikes!"

"Get to the pool!"

The merfolk screamed and turned to run, but it was too late.

"Ha, it's too late, thank you, Miss Merfolk!"

The man opened his arms excitedly, and a swamp appeared on the ground.

"Wow! The body sank! ”

"Swamp? Why are there swamps on the rocks? ”

The more the merfolk struggled, the deeper their bodies sank.

This man was none other than Caribou, who had been nailed in a barrel by Frankie on the Sonny.

When he was released, he directly activated the ability of "Swamp Fruit" against the merfolk.

"Swamps and mires cannot be freed, I'm sorry to tell you, I'm a capable one, don't yell at me, otherwise I'll kill you!"

Caribou looked at them wickedly.

"Someone..."

A mermaid who was already halfway through her body was about to scream, but her mouth was gagged by a cloud of mud.

"Didn't I tell you to keep quiet? You idiot! ”

The merfolk sink deeper and deeper, eventually being completely swallowed up by the swamp.

Kalibu sat on a rock and happily counted the accounts: "A mermaid is 70 million Baileys in the auction house, and these few add up to... Hee-hee, thanks to the Straw Hat and the Magic Sword! ”

Back to the present.

Coral mounds.

A small group of fish-man garrisons came over and asked about the situation of the nearby fishmen.

"Straw Hats, did they kidnap the mermaid girl?" The captain of the fishman garrison said.

A merfolk defended: "No, no, they are good people, and besides, they are Kemi's friends." ”

Squad Leader: "Maybe Kemi is threatened by them. ”

Mermaid: "No... It's not..."

The team leader continued: "At that time, it was our garrison and the mermaid girls, as well as the Straw Hats. ”

The soldier next to him added, "Humans have a reason to kidnap merfolk at any time, because in the world above, young mermaid girls can be sold for a very high price!" ”

Mermaid: "That said, there is no basis for suspicion..."

Fishman Soldier: "You don't want to think about how many pirates have approached merfolk so far by pretending to be kind, and have ended up being taken captive!" ”

Night Barry New Town.

Luffy and the others are riding the princess's pet shark Mezaro to Ryugu Castle.

"Don't fall off! Hohoo ho! King Neptune sat on his pet whale, Hoai, and reminded the crowd.

Luffy didn't hesitate to say: "What are you doing, uncle, your shouting is so stupid!" ”

Papagu was shocked when he heard this: "Shut up! Straw hat! Impolite guys! I'm so scared of you! ”

Dealing with Luffy's rudeness, King Neptune didn't care at all: "Ho Ho Ho, this shark's name is Mesaro, and it's the little girl's favorite pet!" At that time, she thought that Messaro would not come back, and cried so much, I was really at a loss at that time, I didn't expect to be chased by the North Sea Monster, thanks to you for saving it! ”

Papagu gently touched Mesaro: "Is this the pet of Her Royal Highness the Princess?" ”

At this time, Brooke suddenly said, "Huh? Brother Papagu, you used to say you were a friend of the mermaid princess. ”

Papagu was shocked when he heard this, and hurriedly made a "shhh" gesture to Brooke.

Brooke broke out in a cold sweat: "It turned out to be a lie." ”

Because Neptune said that it was the Straw Hats who were invited, Kemi seemed to be a little shy: "I... Can I also go to Ryugu Castle? ”

Usopp smiled: "He said he could bring friends, so it's okay, right?" ”

Neptune said, "Actually, I just sent the children to meet you, but after waiting for a long time and not coming back, I went out myself!" I'm also looking forward to the early start of the banquet! By the way, by the way, one of your fellow swordsmen has already entered the city. ”

Usopp: "Huh? Is it Chenqi or Zoro? ”

Neptune touched his head, "The name seems to be... Soli! ”

Usopp broke out in a cold sweat: "It's Zoro, right?" ”

Neptune: "Anyway, the soldiers will soon be in the city with your companions, don't worry! ”

Luffy: "Nami, did you see where they went?" ”

Nami: "Frankie said he went to find Mr. Tom's relatives, Robin went to find some important history... Everyone is splitting up. ”

Luffy: "Didn't you see Chenqi?" ”

Nami: "No, you haven't seen it either?" ”

Usopp: "No, where is that guy, even Sauron has arrived at the Dragon Palace, that guy can't be lost, right?" ”

Luffy: "Don't worry about him, that guy is as strong as hell." ”

Then Nami turned her head and said to Neptune, "That's right, uncle! ”

Papagu slapped her on the back of the head: "It's the god of the sea!" Call Your Majesty Neptune! Bastard! ”

Nami: "It's 10,000 meters below the sea, but why is it only Fish-Man Island that is bright?" ”

Neptune smiled: "Ho Ho Ho, it's not that Fish-Man Island is bright, it's the only seabed in the world where you can see light, and the fish-people have settled here since a long time ago, which has formed Fish-Man Island." ”

Then the king explained the reason for the light.

Because there is a number on the bottom of the sea called "Adam the Sun Tree", which can transmit sunlight from the ground directly to the bottom of the sea, and the roots of the tree grow here.

Nami felt a little magical: "Sunshine? That is, the tree has more than 10,000 meters of glowing roots? ”

Neptune continued: "Exactly, while scholars can tell a lot of big truths, this is indeed a mysterious tree that can transmit sunlight from the ground to the roots of trees, and the breath of the roots can also send air directly to the bottom of the sea. ”

Luffy put his hand on his eyebrows and looked at the thick towering tree, and couldn't help but sigh, "It's like the 'energetic mangrove tree' of the Chambord Islands!" ”

While everyone was talking, they had already arrived at the Dragon Palace.

The scene in front of us made everyone shine.

Hundreds of meters in the shape of a delicate tower, a circular plaque above the main entrance, with the word "dragon" written in large letters. At the top hovered a lifelike dragon.

It is truly a magnificent, beautiful and incomparable palace

A huge button on the front door, and Neptune pressed it.

"It's me, open the door!"

"Oh, Your Majesty, you're back..."
