At the entrance of Ryugu Castle, the person who received Aix was the left minister, the catfish mermaid.

Ax was led by the mermaid elder in a top hat, single-rimmed glasses on his left eye, and a horned cane in his right hand to meet the Great Knight of the Sea, His Majesty Neptune, King of the Dragon Kingdom.

Looking at Neptune's massive body, Ax had always had a suspicion about how he had given birth to the three Neptune brothers and Shirahoshi with the petite Princess Otohime...... If you think about it, it's really scary!

Of course, Aix was just thinking about it, and he would never ask King Neptune such a question.

"You're the Ash instructor mentioned by the Sengoku Marshal who wants to borrow the way to go to the New World, right?"

"Yes, Your Majesty." Aix bowed slightly in reverence for Neptune.

"Are you going to leave the float right away? Or do you want to stay on Fish-Man Island for a few days before heading out? If you want to stay, I will arrange for my subordinates to be your guide and help you introduce the customs and customs of our Dragon Palace Kingdom......"

"Don't bother Your Majesty Neptune, I'll probably leave Fish-Man Island today."

Aix smiled and declined Neptune's hospitality.

"But before I go, I have something to talk to you about alone......"

"Oh? What is there to make such a mystery? Neptune wondered, rubbing his bushy beard.

"It's a very important thing...... "Aix's expression turned serious.

"That's right......," Neptune pondered for a moment, then turned to the others in the palace and said, "Left Minister, Right Minister, you lead the guards down first, and I'll have a good talk with this little Ash friend." ”

"Yes, Your Majesty."

As everyone retreated, the entire hall became empty.

"Princess Shirahoshi, is she okay? Are you really going to keep her hidden under the protection of the Hard-Shell Tower for the rest of her life? ”

Aix gets straight to the point, and his words are amazing.

Hearing that it was about the White Star, Neptune's eyes instantly sharpened.

"Instructor Ash, what do you mean by that?"

"As far as I know, the noble lady has been harassed by Van der Dyken 9, the Target Fruit Ability, and has had to be forced to let Princess Shirahoshi hide in the Hardshell Tower to prevent harm," Aix paused, "It's fine if it's that simple......"

King Neptune instinctively sensed that what Aix was going to say next was the real point.

"And the reality is more complicated, Princess Shirahoshi is still the ultimate ancient weapon 'Sea King Poseidon'...... Today's peeping at her is just a simple suitor, so if her identity is revealed, tomorrow not only Princess Shirahoshi, but also the entire Fish-Man Island will face What Your Majesty will not know, right? ”

How would he know this? Neptune's expression changed drastically, and he even developed an extremely strong killing intent towards Aix.

"As long as I get rid of you, then my daughter's identity will naturally not be revealed!" Neptune said with a grim look on his face.

"Heh, even I can easily get such news, does Your Majesty really think that this secret can be maintained for a long time?" Aix shook his head and smiled, "Take another 10,000 steps back, is Your Majesty confident that you can keep me?" ”

Judging from the momentum alone, Neptune already knew that he didn't seem to be Ash's opponent, and if he used the power of the entire kingdom, it was not certain who would die, but the only thing he could be sure of was that the country he ruled would fall apart......

Neptune, who understood this, suddenly found that the weak really had no right to speak!

"What the hell are you trying to do? She's a kid at that young age...... Whatever is happening at me! ”

"Don't worry, if I want to talk to you about this matter, it will naturally mean that I have a corresponding solution......" Aix said very calmly.

"Your Majesty, you must at least understand that Princess Shirahoshi's special identity is bound to become the object of contention from all parties in the future, and the overall strength of the Dragon Palace Kingdom is too weak for this sea, so you have no ability to protect the safety of Princess Shirahoshi, so the solution to this matter is to find a strong justice backer......"

The implication of Aix's words is obvious, who is righteous on the sea? It's the Navy!

"I happen to have a children's camp for children under the age of twelve, so that Princess Shirahoshi can join the camp, not only can I meet many playmates of the same age, but more importantly, the camp is in the Navy Headquarters, which is the most capable place to protect Princess Shirahoshi's happiness."

"That seems to make sense...... Neptune slowly swam straight in front of Aix, looking down into his eyes condescendingly, "but Instructor Ash, you're all human, and my daughter is a merfolk. Let's be honest...... I don't believe in you humans! ”

"But isn't it Princess Otohime's dream that one day the inhabitants of Fish-Man Island can swim out to sea, and both merfolk and fish-people can enjoy a piece of sunshine with humans?"

Without any fear, Aix looked at Neptune and said, "If Your Majesty remains complacent, then when will the merfolk and humans achieve peaceful coexistence?" ”

"That's my only daughter!" Neptune growled.

"And my favorite wife, who also advocates friendship with humans, has also died at the hands of your despicable humans!"

"I deeply regret and sympathize with the death of Princess Otohime a year ago...... But hatred has blinded His Majesty, do you really think that the truth of the year is what you know it to be? ”

"What do you mean?" Neptune was a little confused, why didn't he play cards according to the routine!

"It's not interesting...... I think Your Majesty should calm down and think about my proposal again, and when I return to the Navy Headquarters from the New World, I will pass through Fish-Man Island again, and then Your Majesty can decide whether or not to send Her Royal Highness Princess Shirahoshi to the Boy Boy Camp in the headquarters. ”

After arousing Neptune's curiosity, Ax stopped dwelling on the deeper layers of the topic.

"I am personally responsible for this camp, which means that I will be fully responsible for the comfort of Princess Shirahoshi. What you also need to consider is that compared to the current way of helplessly hiding in the hard shell tower, should you let her go to see the real sky and enjoy the innocence and happiness that she should have at this age! ”

Aix's progressive tone was high-spirited, and he vividly painted a beautiful picture to King Neptune.

"I think this is the end of our conversation, please think about it again, I don't have to send ......"

As soon as he finished speaking, Aix turned and walked out of the palace.

"I'll be leaving Fish-Man Island soon and looking forward to our next meeting......"

The echo in the empty hall kept King Neptune's heart at peace for a long time.
