Chapter 188: New Friends and Old Friends
Klockdahl: "......"
Klocodahl: "? β
Klockdahl: "Wait?! β
The incident happened suddenly, and Klockdahl was a little unresponsive.
When he came back to his senses, he found that the four of them had been handcuffed.
The guards of Ryugu Castle were divided into left and right sides, and were responsible for escorting the four of them.
Klockdahl: "......"
He was still a little dazed.
It wasn't until he saw Evan Lindsay, who was tortured but excited, that he realized that he seemed to be involved in a "big fun" again.
He approached Lindsay and said gloomily, "You want to go to Dragon Palace City?" β
Lindsey asked rhetorically, "You don't want to?" β
Klockdahl: "......"
He has always regarded "pirates" as a "business".
And from the perspective of interests alone, it is naturally not impossible to go to the mysterious Dragon Palace City to find out.
That's a place that's extremely difficult for humans to set foot in!
But the stakes weren't big enough for Klockdahl to make the trip himself.
But then they overheard the conversation of the guards on the side.
"How many thugs have you caught lately?"
"A lot, whether it's the gangsters of Fish-Man Street or humans."
"The recent Fish-Man Island is not very peaceful, and there are too many troubles......"
"Mr. [Whitebeard] seems to be entangled in trivial matters as well."
ββ¦β¦β
A conversation made Klockdahl's eyes narrow slightly.
The turmoil on the sea was too sudden, and it seemed that if you went to Ryugu Castle, you would have a chance to find out.
That's enough.
As for the follow-up troubles, of course, I'll leave it to the people at the Mermaid Cafe.
The mermaid soothsayer named Xia Li is quite famous in Fish-Man Island.
When the news of their accidental arrest spreads, Xia Li and the others will definitely come back to explain clearly.
Anyway!
"Hehehehe, it's good ......"
ββ¦β¦β
Several people did not resist, but let the guards of Dragon Palace City take them away.
β¦β¦
As for the men who were embedded in the groundβ
"Wait, they're not puffer fish people, they're humans?"
"What's going on?"
ββ¦β¦β
They were soon taken into custody by the guards of Ryugu Castle.
Even if he survives, he will inevitably be sentenced to a heavy sentence by Fish-Man Island, who hates slave traders.
β¦β¦
A group of four people, escorted by the guards of Dragon Palace City, walked to Dragon Palace City.
There was talk and laughter on the way.
This scene really made the guards on the side unhappy.
But they were just about to teach this group of guys a lesson, but they were intimidated by the aura exuded by the four of them, and they didn't dare to act rashly.
"What the hell are these guys ......?"
The guards were puzzled, but the road was quite peaceful, so they ignored this little "anomaly".
After some time, everyone successfully arrived at Ryugu Castle.
The guards asked for the names of the four, and Lindsay truthfully reported their names.
Soon, the four were thrown into the Ryugu Castle Prison, which also held other prisoners, both fish and humans.
When the guards locked the cell door and left, the group of prisoners was also restless.
"Hey, hey, hey, hey......"
A skinny human stepped forward and laughed, "You accidentally failed when you captured the fishman slaves?" β
Klockdahl: "......"
He didn't bother to talk to this kind of waste!
Eroding the shackles from his hands to dust, he slowly lit himself a cigar and grabbed the thin man by the neck.
"My patience is limited and answers my questions directly."
Klockdahl frowned and asked, "Who gave you the courage to dare to come to the territory of the Whitebeard Pirates?" β
"Gollum ββ!"
The thin man struggled, and the rest of the human prisoners were even more shocked.
"Nature-based ability?!"
"He pretended to be caught?"
"Clever, this way you can attack Dragon Palace City from the inside!"
ββ¦β¦β
Listening to these noisy words, Klockdahl's heart became more angry, and his hand strength increased.
The thin man hurriedly begged for mercy:
"It's because the navy has been watching it closely, and the Whitebeard Pirates don't want to clash head-on with the navy, so they can't act, so we're here to try our luck!"
This explanation is in line with the slave traders who preceded it.
Klockdahl didn't bother to dirty his hand, so he threw it aside and fell half dead.
The rest of the people, seeing that they had no way to escape, simply showed weakness.
"Big ...... Uncle, do you want to sneak attack Dragon Palace City? β
"We can help!"
"We would like to be your little brother!"
ββ¦β¦β
Klockdahl didn't bother to answer.
Uta, on the other hand, sang a big key hand and slapped a slave trader who had come over.
She covered her ears and said in disgust, "The melody here is so disgusting! β
"But it's also one of the melodies after all, right?"
Lindsay stepped forward and gently rubbed Uta's head.
"We can always hear all kinds of melodies, whether they are good or bad, and we have to listen to them, so that we can be considered sound."
ββ¦β¦β
"Hmm."
Uta nodded slightly.
Lindsay turned to the side and glanced up at the prisoners.
"Besides, I have to teach you something-"
He raised his right hand, pointed in the direction of the dungeon door, and snapped his fingers slightly.
Syllable!
The door to the dungeon opened, and several guards came running quickly and opened the door.
Lindsey grinned and educated:
"When you're away from home, make more friends."
ββ¦β¦β
"I'm so sorry!"
The captain who had previously captured the four people, with beads of sweat on his forehead, hurriedly bowed and said, "We didn't know that you were a guest of Princess Otohime, I'm really sorry!" β
As he spoke, the guards untied the shackles of Lindsey and the others.
One by one, the four of them waved goodbye to their fellow inmates in the cell.
Klockdahl walked last, shook off a sandstorm, and let the rats enjoy it freely.
For a while, there were screams in the cell.
β¦β¦
The short prison life of the four is over.
Under the guidance of the captain of the guards, he soon came to the inner city of Dragon Palace City, and went all the way up the main steps to the main hall of Dragon Palace City.
Several guards pushed open the door of the main hall, and more guards greeted them inside, which was extremely solemn.
Crocodall was a little surprised by this.
Even if it was a misunderstanding, the pomp and circumstance that could be used to apologize would be a bit bigger.
But Lindsay is very calm about this.
All the way straight past, the highest welcome ceremony of the Dragon Palace Kingdom was waiting for the four of them.
β¦β¦
The two ministers of the Dragon Palace Kingdom, on both sides.
Minister Zuo is a catfish man wearing a top hat and a single glasse in his left eye;
The right minister carries a saber and is a rather tough-looking seahorse fishman;
On the throne in the middle, there is a huge male mermaid, who is none other than Neptune, the king of the Dragon Palace Kingdom, nicknamed the Great Knight of the Sea!
And the one beside him, the petite goldfish mermaid, is the princess of the Dragon Palace Kingdom who has been mentioned several times before, Otohime!
The royal family has been waiting for a long time.
When she saw the four of them walking all the way easily, admiring the decoration of Ryugu Castle by the way, Princess Otohime's face was smiling.
"It's a good bunch of humans, and they didn't get angry about what happened."
"Hmm."
Neptune nodded, and a deep voice came from his orange beard.
"But judging from the breath, they are undoubtedly the strongest among the human race."
"Huh?"
Princess Otohime was a little surprised, clapped her hands and said, "The two children too?" β
Neptune nodded, "That's true. β
Princess Otohime nodded slightly.
She has a very special sense of sight and domineering, and can even feel the other party's thoughts, good and evil.
"But in my opinion, they are all very good children!"
ββ¦β¦β
While the two were talking, Lindsay and the others had already come to the throne.
Before Neptune could speak, Lindsay suddenly raised his hand and beckoned, "Long time no see!" β
"Ah, long time no see!"
Another voice remembered.
Princess Otohime understood and turned her body away slightly.
A video phone bug is being connected, and a familiar crimson figure appears on the screen.
It is none other than [Demon] Evan Lindsay's old friend, [Fish-Man Hero] Fisher Tiger!
"Haha, it's been a long time since I've been in touch!"
At this time, Tiger had already formed his own Sun Pirates.
He was sitting on the deck, maintaining communication with Ryugu Castle.
Although from a political point of view, he and Princess Otohime are not on the same path, but the two often maintain communication for the sake of "the fate of the fish-man clan".
"Tiger told me about you, but I didn't expect you to come to Fish-Man Island."
In the face of humans whose hard power far surpasses that of the Dragon Palace Kingdom, Princess Otohime's demeanor is still generous and decent.
"On behalf of Fish-Man Island and the royal family of the Dragon Palace Kingdom, I welcome all human friends."
ββ¦β¦β
When new and old friends gather together, it will naturally be very lively.
Klockdahl was also happy, after all, with the support of the royal family, the rest on Fish-Man Island would be much smoother.
Thinking about it, Klockdahl's afterglow suddenly flickered, and a huge black shadow appeared behind Lindsay.
The other party raised his hand, as if to launch a sneak attack.
βοΌοΌβ
Klockdahl was about to make a move, but when he looked up, he saw something that puzzled him......
Stuff?
No, that's rude.
It should be said that it is a "mermaid".
It was a huge mermaid with pink hair and a red and pink tail.
But to say that she is a "woman" is a little wrong.
She was clearly still a child.
Biota, and even little Kemi, were much younger, probably only two or three years old.
"Hah!"
The giant pink mermaid girl, with a smile on her face, gently patted Lindsay's head.
Lindsay spread her wings, then vibrated them and swept her up with the wind.
"Wow!"
The mermaid girl opened her hands and laughed happily.
Seeing this scene, Neptune and Princess Otohime both laughed and introduced:
"She is our youngest daughter Bai Xing, who usually likes to cry her nose, but she didn't expect to be very happy today!"
"yes, it looks like she and Mr. Lindsay are having a good time."
"Haha!"
Rao is Tiger, and when he saw this scene, he couldn't help but relax.
Klockdahl wasn't interested, so he looked to the side.
ββ¦β¦β
This skimming revealed an abnormal scene:
I saw another little girl, "Uta", who had the ability to sing the fruit of songs, and her eyes widened at the moment, looking at Shirahoshi who was playing with Lindsay.
"Totemjika is arguing."
Uta's eyes were blank, as if he had seen something particularly terrible, and muttered:
"He's scared."
"I'm afraid of Mr. Lindsay."
"At the same time, I'm also afraid of the mermaid princess."
ββ¦β¦β
Klockdahl was silent for a moment, rubbing his chin.
"Huh?"
