Chapter 346: In the Dragon Palace
Charlotte is three meters tall and Neptune is twelve meters tall.
The two stood facing each other, and the difference in size was huge, but at this moment, the feeling to others was that Xia Le was incomparably majestic.
"Your Majesty Neptune."
Smiling slightly, Xia Le opened his mouth and shouted.
"You and I haven't seen each other for more than 10 years since we last met at the World Conference."
The sudden words made Neptune stunned.
Immediately afterward, a unique strange emotion welled up in my heart.
"It turns out that Marshal Xia Le also saw me last time!"
Naturally, he couldn't forget how terrifying this man's aura and weight were above that world conference.
It was a terrifying figure that silenced all the nobles of the world, and even the legendary Knights of the Gods and the CP organization were afraid of.
"I didn't expect Marshal Xia Le to remember it."
Neptune sighed.
Then, he reacted and moved out of the way.
"Please follow me to the Dragon Palace."
Hearing this, Charlotte nodded and looked at Fisher Tiger, who was following Neptune, who saw his gaze and nodded heavily.
Suddenly, a smile appeared on Xia Le's face.
"Then, disturb His Majesty Neptune and all of you in the Dragon Palace!"
Neptune was a little flattered: "You're so polite! β
Everyone immediately set off and headed towards the Dragon Palace Kingdom.
Along the way, Charlotte's chatter surprised the Neptunes a little, and even more to their surprise, the young admiral's mildness.
This is the kindness that can rarely be felt in human beings, and in the subtle words they feel the word respect.
Neptune's originally nervous mood also relaxed slightly.
When passing by the center of the island and seeing the whitebeard flag hanging high above, Xia Le's footsteps paused slightly, and then pointed to the flag with a smile.
"Letting the pirates protect your safety is a dereliction of duty as a navy!"
"I apologize to Neptune and everyone on Fish-Man Island for the Navy's negligence!"
Neptune's heart froze, and he instinctively thought that there was something in the other man's words, but after that, there was no other word.
Only then did I realize that Xia Le was just saying it casually, but the apology between the words was sincere.
Half a quarter of an hour later, everyone came to the Dragon Palace Kingdom.
The spacious hall is filled with all kinds of fruit plates, wine, and food, exuding a strong aroma.
Neptune sat on the throne with an apologetic look on his face: "Because of the hasty preparation, the Dragon Palace Kingdom is rude!" β
Xia Le looked like he didn't care: "Compared to these appearances, the navy cares more about His Majesty Neptune's attitude!" β
"So, what is His Majesty Neptune's opinion on what Lieutenant General Tiger has to do with His Majesty on behalf of me?"
Neptune was stunned.
He didn't expect this admiral to be so anxious, and he simply and neatly went straight to the point.
After a slight groan, Neptune didn't hesitate any longer.
"Marshal Xia Le's care for Fish-Man Island, this king's heart is very grateful."
"So, in the face of your offer, I don't have any reason to refuse!"
After a pause, Neptune took another deep breath.
"For the peace of the people on Fish-Man Island, friendship with humanity."
"On behalf of the Dragon Palace Kingdom, Fish-Man Island, I am willing to cooperate with the Navy!"
Xia Le smiled, and the smile on his face grew bigger and bigger.
"Hahaha!"
"This banquet will be very happy, Your Majesty Neptune!"
"Humans and fish-people will also coexist peacefully!"
Neptune nodded heavily.
He saw Xia Le raise his glass, and a smile appeared on his face.
Once, he and Whitebeard drank a glass of wine because of the problem of Fish-Man Island, and asked the other party to divide Fish-Man Island into its territory.
This solved the problem of pirates and some navies constantly entering Fish-Man Island to cause chaos at that time, but the root cause was not solved.
Now, he sits here, in front of a group of the top leaders in the navy.
Young, strong, and invincible Admiral, the two brigadier generals of the headquarters, Yellow Ape, Rosinandi, and Bucky, as well as Vice Admiral Fisher Tiger, who also belongs to the fish-man clan.
It can be seen that almost all of the people who are located here are from the Charlotte faction.
That is to say, Fisher Tiger, a fish-man, actually blended into the most powerful and powerful marshal of the navy today.
And this also means that the fish-people will get rid of the difficult situation in the past in the future.
Neptune's heart was heaving, excited and uplifted, and he even wanted to raise his head to the sky and cry out loud.
A glass of wine was raised, and in the midst of the staggering, there seemed to be a trance in front of him, and a vague figure walked over with a smile.
"Otohime !!"
"Did you see that?"
"Your dreams will come true on this day!"
"Fish-Man Island, from now on, there is a future!!"
Neptune howled, he seemed to be a little drunk.
This scene made the originally lively banquet suddenly quiet.
The Great Prince of the Shark Star immediately looked at Xia Le, who was sitting there, and Fisher Tiger showed a trace of worry on his face.
Obviously, Neptune, as the king of the Dragon Palace Kingdom, has lost his temper a bit. And in a formal occasion like today, such a gaffe will undoubtedly have an impact on the cooperation between the two sides, and once Xia Le is angered, the consequences will be unimaginable.
"Sir Charlot."
Fisher Tiger exclaimed worriedly, wanting to explain.
Neptune still sat there, in a trance, weeping bitterly, completely oblivious to the fact that there was anyone else beside him.
"Otohime, did you see that?"
He muttered to himself.
Everyone's eyes all looked at Xia Le, and when they noticed each other's expressions, they all showed worried and nervous expressions on their faces.
Because at this moment, the smile on Xia Le's face had dissipated, replaced by a serious, gloomy expression.
For a long time, for a long time.
There was no sound between the feasts, except for the sound of Neptune crying and gibberish.
"Bang!"
Wine glasses were placed heavily on the table.
Everyone's hearts skipped a beat.
Shark Star's face changed drastically, and a touch of despair appeared in his eyes.
"It's over, Marshal Xia Le is completely enraged!"
But at this moment, Xia Le slowly raised his head and looked at the drunk Neptune.
"Neptune!"
A loud shout.
Neptune woke up from a dream, stunned, and looked a little dazed.
"On behalf of the Navy, I assure you!"
"Fish-people will coexist peacefully with humans, seek common ground while reserving differences, and live on an equal footing!"
"As long as I, Xia Le, are alive for one day, this covenant between you and me will be unswervingly implemented!"
Xia Le shouted in a deep voice, his voice solemn and loud.
Neptune's body shook, and under the drunkenness, all kinds of complicated emotions exploded in unison at this moment, and two tears flowed down his cheeks and dripped down the sea.
The sonorous and powerful words, in the eyes of all the fishmen at the scene, were rock-solid promises.
And this promise made all the fishmen warm and silently sobbed.
Xia Le's personal arrival is undoubtedly the greatest guarantee for suspicion and hesitation of Fish-Man Island, Neptune and others.
After the feast, the Dragon Palace Kingdom fell into a festive phase.
Xia Le lived here temporarily, after all, the banquet was only determined verbally, and many specific matters still needed to be signed a large number of documents to ensure the integrity of the covenant between them.
For example, the amount of money provided by the Dragon Palace Kingdom to the navy, the navy sending elites to build bases, recruiting fishmen to form a navy, and so on.
Of course, these things are naturally done by his subordinates, and Xia Le does not need to worry about it.
At night, he sat quietly in a room arranged by Neptune, and it was interesting to see the dΓ©cor that was clearly different from the terrestrial style.
The whole is in the style of shells and conches in the ocean, and the ceiling is made of strange beads that emit bright light.
Also, unlike the buildings on land, the rooms here are very large.
After admiring it, Xia Le sat there and fell into deep thought.
"In today's navy, finances are still a problem."
"Because of the problems of money and logistics, it is impossible to carry out large-scale recruitment work."
"And without large-scale recruitment, follow-up plans cannot be launched."
"Here in the Dragon Palace Kingdom, as long as an agreement is signed, some of the pressure can be resolved."
"Also, it's Brother Kobra."
"Alabastan, too, will be a strong backing behind me!"
For many years, Alabastan had secretly cultivated a large number of soldiers, and Barrett was even involved in this matter.
And in Arab stan, this huge group of soldiers is extremely reliable.
"New World, it's time to lay out!"
"Recruiting troops, you can gradually increase the scale and scope."
Xia Le muttered.
Although the position of marshal is high and powerful, it is not easy to do. Because he needs to worry about everything.
After all, if you want to inherit the crown, you must bear its weight.
Charlotte thinks she can handle the weight and enjoys it.
Suddenly, his eyes rolled to the doorway.
"Now that you're here, don't hide outside the door!"
As soon as the words fell, a coquettish cry immediately came from outside the door.
Then, after the person outside the door seemed to have gone through a rather fierce ideological struggle, he cautiously pushed the door open.
Through the crack in the door, Xia Le saw a delicate, beautiful, but very large female face.
He was slightly stunned, then laughed.
"You're the daughter of His Majesty Neptune, Princess Shirahoshi, right?"
When the words fell, Xia Le waved his hand, and the door opened.
The full appearance of Shirahoshi is also revealed in front of him, and his body is huge, with the upper body of a human body and the lower body of a fish.
A true legendary mermaid princess!
"You, you, you're Marshal Charlot?"
Shirahoshi blinked with big eyes, looking a little dumbfounded, but very cute.
"Come in, Princess Shirahoshi."
"I suppose you came here specifically to have a lot of questions, right?"
Xia Le said with a slight smile.
A blush appeared on Bai Xing's face, and he looked at Xia Le curiously, and then walked in cautiously.
They were speechless, and after a long silence, she whispered.
"You are terrible, they say!"
"However, I think you are handsome, young and look so gentle."
