The Ryugu Castle is a special ship for the royal family of the Ryugu Kingdom, considering the large size of Neptune and his children, the cabin is very spacious, and Neptune's chairs can be used as a bed for Zhang Da.

When they came to Fish-Man Island for the first time, they were not in the mood to sit comfortably in their chairs, and after a brief chat, they lay down by the window and watched the scenery together.

They stand by the window and look at the view, and the people watching the view look at them from behind.

The four older children curiously observed the kind human beings that their mother had said, especially Shirahoshi timidly stretched out his finger to poke it, but he didn't dare.

Princess Otohime introduced the attractions on Fish-Man Island one by one: "There is Coral Hill over there, Mermaid Bay there, and there is a Mermaid Cafe over there...... It's all worth sightseeing. ”

Everyone was planning the next route, but Artoria was paying attention to a very conspicuous black flag: "That flag, it's a pirate flag, right?" ”

Princess Otohime said, "Yes, that's the flag of the sea thief Whitebeard, and now Fish-Man Island is under the protection of Whitebeard. ”

"A country that accepts the protection of a pirate?" Artoria asked in a low voice.

Neptune heard this and told her about Fish-Man Island's past:

"Since the beginning of the Age of the Pirates ten years ago, countless pirates have poured into the New World from the first half of the Great Voyage, which is Paradise, and Fish-Man Island is a necessary route for pirates, and the inhabitants of Fish-Man Island are overwhelmed.

Looting and kidnapping are common, and Fish-Man Island was even captured by pirates for a time. It wasn't until Whitebeard repelled the pirates, left his flag, and declared Fish-Man Island his territory that the situation was alleviated, otherwise you might not be here today. “

So this pot Roger has to memorize a little, but there is still a little problem, Zhang Da also asked:

"Isn't that right? In terms of underwater combat, who can compare to the fishmen, as long as you stay outside the fish-man island and destroy their coating, won't the pirate ships sink one by one? ”

This was a disgrace to Neptune, the great knight of the sea, who explained in a heavy tone:

"If it's one or two ordinary pirate groups, of course don't worry, but that time it seems that many pirate groups are uniting to act together, and we have limited troops and not many strong people.

And the bubble film is not such a fragile thing, even if they want to destroy the coating, they have to cut enough holes in it or poke enough holes at the same time, which is enough time for them to fight back.

Coupled with the fact that they later found a way to use the bubbles to move and fight briefly at the bottom of the sea, the situation became more and more unfavorable for us, so Fish-Man Island experienced the darkest period. ”

Everyone fell silent for a while, but Princess Otohime burst into tears.

She took Artoria's hand, sobbed patiently, and said, "Please don't blame yourself! I hear the great remorse and anguish in your heart, and the destruction of the country is never your fault! You've done everything you can, you're the best you can be! ”

Everyone didn't react for a while, and it was Neptune who just expressed his deep sorrow for failing to protect the country, right? Did the princess shake the wrong hand?

"I'm fine, it's just some bad memories from similar experiences." Artoria instead reached out to help Princess Otohime wipe away her tears, "Your ability is really like cheating. ”

Neptune, his children, and the ministers were shocked, this little bit was once a king? And listening to Princess Otohime's words, it's still a very powerful kind?

Rui Mengmeng and Shark Pepper were also surprised, they saw Artoria practicing swords and eating every day, and she didn't seem to have any worries at all, but she didn't expect her to have such a past.

Of course, Artoria won't go around talking about this kind of thing, and Zhang Da also knows some of it, but it's not easy to talk to them casually.

Now seeing Princess Otohime crying like this, I really don't know what kind of pain and despair Artoria experienced at that time.

Zhang Da also grabbed Tom, who looked ignorant, whispered something in his ear, and then stuffed him into Artoria's arms.

"What's wrong?" Artoria looked at Zhang Daya and then at Tom, not knowing what they wanted to do.

Tom innocently glanced back at Zhang Daye, then at Artoria, and then began to make trouble (this chapter is not finished!). )

Chapter 124: Whitebeard's Banner

Hurt your own head.

For example, elongating the ears, pulling the cheeks long, tying knots with the beard, sticking out the tongue to make a face, twisting the two ears on the top of the head......

Artoria smiled and pinched Tom's head back to its original shape, "Thank you, Tom, and your unscrupulous master, I'm fine." ”

"It's amazing! Are all cats on the sea so powerful? A small head of not small size poked out next to her, and Princess Shirahoshi's eyes widened.

"Only Tom is that good." Artoria didn't want to instill false common sense in Shirahoshi, so she explained, putting Tom down.

Tom looked at Shirahoshi's huge fish tail and couldn't help but start drooling.

Zhang Da also hurriedly held down Tom, this is not a good bite, you bite her and cry, the sea kings have not lifted this fish-man island, all she can summon are super large sea kings with a body size of more than five thousand meters.

Shirahoshi timidly hid behind her brothers, she was still a little scared.

"Oh, by the way, we've got some gifts for you." Zhang Da also pointed to the six boxes that had been brought up before.

"These are the wines given to King Neptune, and they are the more popular ......ones in the tavern," Zhang Da also looked at Neptune's body and said embarrassedly, "but it seems that he has prepared a little less." ”

"Hahaha, that's enough, I received your kindness!" Neptune had a good laugh and was one of the rare human friends he could make other than Whitebeard.

"This necklace is for Princess Otohime." Zhang Da also took out a colorful gemstone necklace, which looked very valuable, it belonged to a certain owner of Tom, suitable for noble ladies to wear, and no one in the tavern had this hobby, so it was just right as a gift.

"Thank you!" Princess Otohime happily took it, compared to the value of the necklace, she was happier than Zhang Daye's heart.

"And these are for the three princes, I hope you can become powerful warriors." Zhang Da also took out a spear and two long swords as if by magic.

They were all beautiful weapons in the palace where Tom was a guard, and now the three princes are not very big, and it is good to use them as toys or collections.

"Thank you for the gift, we will work hard!" The three princes are fond of weapons, after all, they have a great knight father, and their desire is to become powerful warriors to protect their sister.

It's not that the sister is in control, but Shirahoshi is too special, and Princess Otohime once specially explained to them that they want to be an excellent brother and a powerful warrior, and they can't let Shirahoshi be hurt and frightened at all.

In the end, Zhang Da also looked at Bai Xing, who hid behind Princess Otohime in antication and fear, and did not dare to stand up until Otohime whispered two words of encouragement to her.

"So optimistic, Dangdangdang~" Zhang Da also stretched out his hand, and a tree more than two meters tall appeared in the cabin.

It is Tom's Christmas tree, decorated with all kinds of lights and sweets.

This is the lowest value compared to what was sent out before, but it is the most precious to them.

Because there are no trees or forests on Fish-Man Island, many people have never seen a tree on the ground in their lives, and the first lesson that Princess Otohime teaches her children about the ground is to tell them what a tree looks like.

It's strange to say, the Straw Hats can plant orange trees on the ship, and no one on Fish-Man Island has brought a tree down, maybe it's unnecessary? Or thankless?

Anyway, don't worry about this tree, although it is a Christmas tree planted in a flower pot, but this is produced by Tom's family, careful care will definitely live for a long time, Zhang Da even suspects that this tree will not die if he dies, and this tree will not be yellow if he is yellow.

"Huh? Is this a tree? Shirahoshi approached in surprise and observed, "It turns out that candy grows on the tree......"
