Chapter 279: The Mermaid Princess in Distress

Outside the gate of Ryugu Castle.

In the face of the fugitives from the advancing city led by Hiryu no Yu, the Ryugu Castle guards led by Neptune did not last long before they were completely defeated.

Yu's desire to kill is uncontrollable, bloodthirsty by nature, and his moves are extremely cruel.

The blade swept, and the ground was suddenly covered with half of the fishtail that was still fluttering, and the picture was very bloody.

And Neptune, who has the name of "Great Knight", is even more powerless in front of his sworn enemy Fix.

In the blink of an eye, Neptune was chained like a cow by Fix like a cow and sheep, like his two sons.

"Hahaha..."

Fix tugged at the chain that was tied to Neptune's body, and his laughter was full of revenge:

"Neptune, didn't you think of that?"

"You betrayed me to humans, and I can still come back to you for revenge!"

Neptune's face was grim, his heart full of anger.

But he is powerless himself, and he can only use other people's names as a façade:

"Fix!"

"You pretended to be a navy to attack Dragon Palace City, which is a big taboo."

"Neither the Navy nor Whitebeard will let you go!"

"Hehe..."

A sneer rang out.

None of the prisoners heeded Neptune's words, for the Navy would not have spared them in the first place.

As for Whitebeard?

They are all extremely murderous evil people, and they are born with a mismatch for Whitebeard, who likes family reunions.

Many of them had a grudge against Whitebeard even before they were imprisoned.

Rain no Hiryu takes the prisoners to the New World, intending to defect to Whitebeard's enemies.

Hiryu's murderous desire was almost unleashed, but he just glanced at Neptune casually and lost interest completely.

He put away his sword, and said casually to Fix:

"Let's move the treasures of Dragon Palace City, and your enemies will be left to you to deal with yourself."

"There's not a lot of time, so don't play too long."

"We're going to leave after we move the treasure, and we won't waste time waiting for you."

"Understood."

Fix casually agreed, and set his hateful gaze on Neptune.

He stepped on top of Neptune's immobile body, and his tone was full of coldness:

"Neptune..."

"You should have a son and a daughter, right?"

"Tell me, where are they now?"

With that, Fix kicked Neptune in the face.

Neptune's face was bruised, but he held his breath and didn't answer Fix's question.

Fix's anticipation of this situation dragged one of the surviving Dragon Palace guards in front of Neptune, and bared his sharp fangs at the guard:

"Neptune doesn't say it, you come on!"

"Where is your prince and princess?"

“......”

The Dragon Palace guards glanced at Neptune, who had fallen to the ground, with some confusion, and finally succumbed to the desire to survive:

"Princess Shirahoshi should be in the Hardshell Tower by now."

"The Prince of the Rollover Star has just left, and he is also heading in the direction of the Hard-Shell Tower."

"Just left?"

Fix was slightly stunned:

"The fat man called 'Dump Star' before was the third prince?"

He had been imprisoned for twenty years, and he had just returned to Fish-Man Island, so he naturally didn't know what Neptune's sons and daughters looked like and what their names were.

"Want to escape?"

Fix's expression became more and more hideous, and he looked at Neptune and said:

"Neptune!"

"In just a little time, where do you think those two little ones can escape?"

"Let's look forward to it..."

"When I have captured all your children, they will be in front of you... Send them to hell one by one! ”

"Hahahaha..."

Neptune's face sank like water, and his heart burned with anxiety.

But in desperation, he could only blame himself for being too weak, so weak that he couldn't even buy a little time.

And Fix didn't drag it out at all, just casually dragged Neptune, Shark Star, and Emperor Star father and son, and killed in the direction of the hard shell tower.

Fix is a formidable man, and despite his age, dragging a huge Neptune is still as easy as dragging a balloon.

The distance of the hard-shell tower was not far, and Fix soon saw the white star and the rollover star in the distance:

They had just passed through the nearby bubble wrap and were quickly swimming towards the deep sea in the distance, leaving only two backs reflected in the bubble wrap, one large and one small.

"Escaped to the sea?"

Fix couldn't help but laugh out loud:

"It's okay..."

"Then I'll play with you a little longer!"

With that, Fix dragged the three Neptunes and rushed headlong into the water in the direction of the white star's disappearance.

........................................................

Shirahoshi had been trapped in that hard-shell tower, having not seen the outside world for too long.

So she had the opportunity to get out of the cage, and she was very emotional at first.

However, Shirahoshi soon notices that something is wrong:

The overturned star said that he wanted to take her out to play, but after entering the sea, he kept urging her to swim faster.

Moreover, the direction they are heading is not the prosperous Fish-Man Island, nor the sea forest where their mother sleeps, or the deep sea that is completely in darkness.

It was pitch black, the terrain was complicated, and there were all kinds of fierce sea beasts living there, so it was obviously not a good place to play.

"Brother Dumper..."

Shirahoshi was puzzled: "Where are you going to take me?" ”

"Don't ask!"

The smile that was forced to squeeze out on the face of the overturned car star finally disappeared, and he just said with a cold face:

"Swim as fast as you can, and don't look back!"

Shirahoshi is naïve, but not stupid:

"Brother, is there something wrong with Dragon Palace City?"

"Are your father and brother alright?"

"Don't talk!"

The rollover star completely lost his usual kindness, and just urged Bai Xing in an extremely stern tone:

"Follow me and swim away!"

The Rollover Star didn't want to talk to his kind sister like this, but the situation was urgent, and he could only use this kind of commanding tone.

"Yes, yes..."

Hearing his brother's stern tone, Bai Xing's eyes immediately overflowed with some crystal tears.

As soon as the tears appeared in Shirahoshi's eyes, they dissipated into the endless seawaters;

But the sobbing movements on Bai Xing's body are still very obvious.

Flip Star forcibly endured the emotion of not taking care of his sister, and forced Shirahoshi to continue swimming into the distance.

Merfolk are the fastest swimmers in the world and are born darlings of the sea.

The siblings swam as hard as they could, and soon escaped into the boundless darkness of Fish-Man Island.

...................................................

In the depths of the ocean.

Galen had some minor troubles.

Not long ago, Galen received a distress call from Dusty.

At that time, Galen was over the Red Earth Continent, just above Fish-Man Island.

Therefore, without thinking, Galen jumped from a height of 10,000 meters and plunged headlong into the ocean on the edge of the red earth continent.

Galen's plan is simple:

Relying on his strong data-based body, he first jumped 10,000 meters in the sky, and then dived 10,000 meters to the bottom of the sea, and it is estimated that he will arrive at Fish-Man Island in a few minutes.

However, after going to sea...

Galen was a little confused:

Because the topography of the seabed is completely different from what he imagined.

He went deep into the trench along the continental shelf of the Red Earth Continent, but he couldn't make it directly to Fish-Man Island.

Galen only dived a few thousand meters before reaching a wide ocean floor space.

Hills, basin floors, ravines, submarine volcanoes...

There are more than a dozen trenches that can continue to dive.

Seeing such intricate terrain, Galen immediately remembered the days when Nami was by his side to guide him.

"What should I do?"

Galen was a little anxious in his heart:

The situation on Dusty's side is urgent, and he can't even find his way to Fish-Man Island.

And this is the bottom of the sea at a depth of several thousand meters, Galen is not coated with bubble film, and naturally he does not carry phone bugs.

"That's right..."

Galen's eyes lit up, and he remembered that he had another phone that would never be disconnected-

Ghost Golden Lion.

So, Galen immediately called out to his "summon" in his heart:

"Shiji, Shiji?"

"What's wrong?"

The golden lion didn't like this kind of forced voice in his head, and his tone was very unkind.

However, he was angry early.

Because Galen's next words will make him even more unhappy:

"Let Nami answer the phone!"

“......”

The golden lion was so angry that he grimaced, and in the end, he could only obediently run to Nami under Galen's order and play the role of the "Golden Lion Voice King".

Although Nami and Galen can't talk directly, they can communicate with each other through the Golden Lion's relay.

And Nami is well-read, and has already read countless route maps and logbooks to Fish-Man Island, and immediately helped Galen find his way to the lost Galen:

"Galen, feel the water flowing around you."

"The trench with the descending current is the channel to Fish-Man Island."

"No problem."

The two chatted enthusiastically in such a strange way.

As a paraphraser caught in the middle, the golden lion's face was very bad.

However, Nami and Galen, who are on the phone, don't respect the opinion of the telephone:

"Galen, have you found a descending current?"

"Found it!"

"I've probably dived more than a thousand meters to the bottom, where do I go next?"

"More than a thousand meters of diving?"

"You feel the ocean currents again, there should be a 'seabed waterfall' where the currents converge, swim down there!"

A moment later...

"Nami, I've dived near an undersea volcano."

"A group of undersea volcanoes?"

"Galen, then you're close to Fish-Man Island!"

"There should be a large crater that goes straight to the bottom of the sea, and if you dive a few hundred meters further down there, you will see Fish-Man Island."

"Good!"

Following Nami's instructions, Galen found the seemingly unfathomable crater.

Then, Galen plunged headlong into one direction, as fast as a torpedo.

"Ahh

But he hadn't gone far before he stumbled head-on into a huge unidentified object.

The unidentified object was extremely soft to the touch and elastic, greatly cushioning the force of impact.

And Galen was completely trapped in it, unable to move for a while.

“......”

The golden lion was silent for a moment.

In the end, the golden lion reluctantly relayed in front of Nami:

"Ahh
