Chapter 322: Princess Shirahoshi
Jinping?
One of the Seven Martial Seas of His Majesty, Haixia Jinping?
The moment they heard the name, the crew of the Wind Pirates widened their eyes and looked at each other in surprise.
This was purely unexpected, no one could have predicted before coming to Dragon Palace City that they would actually be able to meet another Seven Martial Seas who had been famous for many years here.
Xia Nuo's eyes flashed slightly, and he glanced at Neptune next to him, he naturally didn't believe that Jinping appeared here by any coincidence, but he still showed a look of surprise on his face, and immediately replied with a salute and said solemnly: "It turned out to be the boss of Jinping, and he has admired his name for a long time." ”
"It's just a little bit of fame, not as young as His Excellency Xia Nuo." Jinping shook his head slightly, and said with a solemn expression, "At such an age, you can become famous in the sea and rank among the Seven Martial Seas, Your Excellency is the one who really makes the old man look up to him for a long time." ”
Unlike most parts of the pirate world, Jinping has an ancient style of speaking, somewhat similar to the country of Wano, Xia Nuo is not very accustomed to listening to it, so he smiled and said: "Boss Jinping is polite, since you also know that I am not very old, don't keep Your Excellency, it sounds too awkward." ”
"It's the old man who missed it." Jinping hesitated for a moment, but nodded and said in a deep voice, "In this way, the old man will call you Brother Xia Nuo, and you don't need to be polite, just call me Jinping." ”
"No problem." Xia Nuo readily agreed, and at this time Neptune suddenly raised his hand outside the palace, as if to signal someone to come in, everyone subconsciously looked back and found a figure several meters high, I don't know when it appeared at the door of the main hall.
This is a mermaid girl who looks no more than eight or nine years old, with long pink hair, a slender and weak figure, and a cute little face full of nervousness.
"Shirahoshi, it's out of the way, the bad guys have been dealt with, don't be so scared anymore."
Neptune stood up and came to the door, bowed his head and whispered comfort, while taking the little girl's hand and leading her to the table, and then smiled at everyone and introduced, "This is the old man's only daughter, Shirahoshi. ”
He turned his head again and said to Bai Xing: "Bai Xing, these are the benefactors who helped defeat that guy Van Da Dai Ken, you can start with this Lord Xia Nuo and thank them one by one." ”
"Yes...... Yes, Father. ”
Bai Xing agreed softly, and then cautiously raised his head and looked at everyone, originally a little hesitant, but after just coming into contact with the warm gaze cast by Xia Nuo, he finally mustered up the courage and bowed to everyone:
"Thank you...... Thank you, Your Excellency, and thank you for your help! ”
After stammering these words, Shirahoshi shrank back and hid behind Neptune, blushing as if she was about to drip water, and it was clear that this step was already her limit.
"Alas......"
Seeing this, Neptune touched Bai Xing's little head with some guilt, then looked up at everyone, and explained in a bitter tone: "Don't be surprised, the little girl has been forced to hide in the high hard-shell tower since three years ago, and basically has never seen outsiders. ”
"I see."
Except for Xia Nuo, the rest of the crew suddenly realized, and in this way, everyone's gaze at Shirahoshi naturally became more and more pity.
It's really a poor little guy, you are a princess of a country, but you can only be forced to live in a small room since she was a child, and she has to be in a state of fear for a long time, it is rare to have no mental disorders, and it is rare to be so polite and grateful......
And thinking about it the other way, everyone realized that the so-called princess Her Royal Highness that Vandadaken wanted to pursue every day was actually just an eight or nine-year-old girl, not to mention that she was not old enough to get married, and she was not even a girl.
Is this still human?
Livestock!
It's not as good as a beast!
For a while, Van Dadeken was once again secretly scolded by many crew members, while Kidd, Ross and others looked at each other tacitly, and they all planned to secretly go to a small dark room to lynch them when they returned to the ship, and they had to beat Van Dadyken to a person.
Xia Nuo, who noticed this subtle scene, took a sip of tea, mourned for Van Da Deken for two seconds, and then looked up at Neptune and smiled slightly: "Your Majesty Neptune, Her Highness Shirahoshi is still young, and it is really rare to have this heart, how can she ask for more?" ”
"Hahahaha, thank you for your understanding." Neptune touched his beard and laughed, obviously Xia Nuo's words hit his heart, and he was very appetizing, "Since everyone can understand, then the old man will let Shirahoshi go back first, the banquet is almost ready, how about everyone sit down now and enjoy the delicious food?" ”
"No problem." Xia no smiled.
Shirahoshi, who was hiding behind Neptune, was suddenly relieved, and after hurriedly saying goodbye to Neptune and Shark Star, he walked out the door under the escort of the guards.
Before turning around, she turned her head and glanced at Xia Nuo curiously with big watery eyes, but the latter turned her head and smiled at each other as if she was aware of it.
"It's so cute......"
Xia Nuo retracted his gaze with some amusement, his heart was full of pity for this little guy, of course, this emotion naturally had nothing to do with the relationship between men and women, but it was a little similar to his mentality when he had a cat in his previous life.
And Neptune and Jinping looked at each other and nodded slightly after noticing this scene-both of them had a big stone in their hearts, judging from the situation that Xia Nuo has shown since he came in, this one really doesn't have much ill will towards their Fish-Folk Clan, so it seems that many things that he was worried about before should not be considered anymore.
After the last line of vigilance was relaxed, the atmosphere in the entire hall couldn't help but be much happier, and everyone, led by Neptune, came to the banquet hall at the back, and sat down separately around the large banquet.
The delicacies prepared by the court cooks were served by the waiters one after another like flowing water, and soon the table was full, except for the fact that Neptune was a mermaid and there were no fish, almost all the delicacies of the world that everyone had seen could be seen at this banquet table, which was really rich and difficult to find in the world.
"You don't have to be inhibited, please enjoy this place as if it were your own home!" Neptune raised his glass and smiled and motioned for everyone to move, "Come, before that, on behalf of the kid from the White Star, I would like to toast everyone!" ”
