Ryugu Castle, banquet hall.

In the spacious ballroom, Niptune, who is more than 10 meters tall, and Whitebeard, who is 6.66 meters tall, sit opposite each other, and two huge people clink glasses with oversized wine bowls and laugh loudly.

Jinping, who is more than three meters tall, is not very conspicuous in front of these two people.

Whitebeard and Neptune had been friends for a long time, when Neptune didn't know Princess Otohime and was still fighting the invaders with a trident all day long as a 'Grand Knight'.

The reason why Whitebeard will cover Fish-Man Island is only because of his friendship with Neptune, although he claims that Fish-Man Island is his territory, but the treatment is different from other territories, and he usually does not need Fish-Man Island to pay anything.

It is precisely because of this that Jinping, who takes benevolence and righteousness as his creed, will be grateful, and run to the Whitebeard Pirates twice in three days to see if they need their services, and when facing Whitebeard, like the leaders of the pirates under his command, he calls Whitebeard 'Daddy'.

After sitting with the three of them for a while, Princess Otohime got up and walked between the captains in the banquet hall, either to deliver wine or to ask about something on the sea.

However, it didn't take long for her to leave—she sprained her ankle from walking too fast, and Princess Otohime's body was still very fragile, and a slap would cause her hand to break.

So the three brothers, Shark Star, Emperor Star, and Rollover Star, persuaded Otohime away, and the three of them entertained these guests for their mother.

Shirahoshi has grown up a lot more in the past year or so, and has learned fishman jiu-jitsu and mermaid karate with Neptune and Jinping for a long time, but the improvement of her combat ability does not seem to have changed her somewhat fearful personality.

Shirahoshi felt that she should also learn from her brothers, and at this time she picked up a large flask, a little overwhelmed. After hesitating for a moment, Shirahoshi chose the most kind and good-looking person and 'swam' over.

Where there is no water, it is difficult for mermaids to walk, but they can 'swim' in the air with the help of bubbles.

Eizo, who was dressed as a geisha, said to Shirahoshi with some joy, "You're Princess Shirahoshi, right?" It's so cute. ”

"Huh?" Bai Xing was startled, covered half of his face with a huge wine jug, and asked cautiously, "Big sister...... No, big brother...... You, you are ......"

Shirahoshi's mind was a little confused, because he didn't know what to call it, and tears rolled in his eyes in his eyes.

"Hahaha, Izang, you're being treated as a woman again!" Others gloat, drinking too much and wanting to have some fun, especially their own people's fun.

Yizang smiled helplessly: "It's rude, Princess Baixing, I am indeed a man below, but I am the descendant of Hualiuliu below, and I have been dressed like this since I was a child." ”

As the captain of the 16th team of the Whitebeard Pirates, Izo should be the most beautiful of the fifteen captains, but the direction of this height is a bit off.

There are only fifteen captains in the sixteen teams, and it is because the captains of the second team have been empty since Mitsuki Mita left.

Shirahoshi didn't know what 'Hanayanagi Ryu' was, nor did she understand what a geisha was, but her young mind was shocked by her outfit like Kura.

After three rounds of drinking, Neptune and Whitebeard got down to business: "I'm glad you're here for so long, but is there any problem in the New World?" I heard that the battle between the Four Emperors was fierce. ”

Whitebeard and his captains gather on Fish-Man Island, which is now safer than ever, and Neptune is happy to keep it that way, but he fears that Whitebeard's back is empty and someone will take advantage of it.

If a friend suffers a loss in order to help him, he will not be able to do it.

"Gollum...... I still have a lot of kids left in the new world, no problem! "In addition to the sixteen teams, the Whitebeard Pirates also have more than 30 pirate groups, totaling more than 30,000 people, and the number is still increasing.

And now there are more than eight years before the beginning of the plot, although Whitebeard's body at this time is indeed worse than a year, but it is not to the extent that he needs four leopard socks to keep helping him with hanging bottles.

Today's Whitebeard is truly the strongest man in the world, and the Whitebeard Pirates are indeed the strongest pirates.

Even a man as iron as Kaiduo would not be fine to touch Whitebeard's moldy head, and he would even rather go to the Navy headquarters to be beaten.

As for BIG· MOM, who is now pregnant with a Lillitian child, is expected to be born in the second half of this year, but her size is pregnant with Lilliputian...... It's hard to put into words.

Anyway, Charlotte Lingling should eat and drink now, and she has nothing to do to order her children to find some rare races, and she is not in the mood to make trouble for the time being, let alone go to war with Whitebeard.

Redhead has been gaining momentum lately, but with his personality, even if he wants to provoke, he won't mess around while Whitebeard is away.

Now he is leading his cadres around the world, his main business is to visit relatives and friends to hold banquets, and his side business is to fight and rob and collect younger brothers, highlighting a free and easy one.

In addition to these few people, if others make trouble in Whitebeard's territory, those pirates under his command can be disposed of, so Whitebeard can come to Fish-Man Island with confidence.

On the one hand, I heard Jinping talk about the previous changes on the island, but I was busy at the time, so I finally made time. On the other hand, there have been a lot of newcomers pouring into the New World recently, and there are also many 'old people' who have returned to the paradise in defeat, considering that the pressure on Fish-Man Island is very high, and a flag may not be able to hold the field, so he came to see it in person.

Neptune was relieved to hear Whitebeard and Jinping talk about the situation in the new world.

At this time, the right minister of Dragon Palace City, a seahorse mermaid, 'swam' into Neptune's ear and whispered: "Your Majesty, I have received a communication from the entrance guard, Mr. Taya and they have just arrived at Fish-Man Island. ”

"Really?" Neptune didn't realize why the Right Minister was so careful to tell him about this, and said in surprise, "Then why don't you just invite them over, just ...... together"

"Your Majesty!" The right minister hurriedly interrupted.

Whitebeard and Jinping gave them a strange look and lowered their glasses.

The Right Minister felt a lot of pressure, so he could only bite the bullet and continue to lie on his back and whisper in Neptune's ear: "We don't know where Mr. Tatsuya stands, but there is no doubt that they are also benefactors, what are you going to do if they clash with the Whitebeard Pirates?" ”

"......" Neptune fell into thought, this is something he didn't take into account, his first reaction was that both sides were his friends, just sit together and drink, where did the conflict come from?

But after being reminded by the right minister, it seems that a friend's friend may not be a friend?

Seeing Neptune's tangled expression, Whitebeard thought he was in some kind of difficulty, and asked, "Is there anything difficult about it?" ”

Neptune thought about it, but decided to tell the truth, both sides are reasonable people, there shouldn't be a problem, right?
