"Phoenix Margo" seemed to want to say something, but in the end the words remained unsaid.
After all, he had followed "Whitebeard Edward" for decades, and he knew very well that this man valued his family more than anything else.
It can be said that the reason why the "Whitebeard Pirates" can grow to its current size is due to the personality charm of "Whitebeard Edward", rather than the personal force recognized as "the strongest in the world".
Even if it was not "Fire Fist Ace" who was executed this time, but any of his adopted sons, the father of everyone would make the same choice.
"Brother Nightmare, how is the progress of dad's treatment?"
Before Luo Jie could speak, "Whitebeard Edward" was already squeezing his muscular arms and laughing heartily: "In the past twenty years, my body has never been as relaxed as it is now. It feels like I have returned to the time when I first went to sea.
Not to mention the three young admirals of the Navy, even if "Gol D. Roger" comes to life, I can fight him for another three days and three nights."
Luo Jie took the words and said: "Mr. Edward's old illnesses have been cured and he is now quite healthy... But the feeling of relaxation is just an illusion caused by comparison with before. Please don't regard yourself as a young man."
"Whitebeard Edward" turned his head and said with a dissatisfied look on his face: "You kid is still so outspoken! It doesn't matter if you don't want to call me "Dad". From "Jialan"'s point of view, you should at least call me "Daddy"."
Can I say "uncle"?"
"Okay...Uncle Edward."
Luo Jie is not reluctant at all. You must know that in this world, being able to recognize a powerful relative of the "Four Emperors" is equivalent to giving yourself a gold medal to avoid death. Even if you meet a naval admiral, the opponent will not dare to do so easily.
Kill you.
Not to mention, this relative is the most protective of the "Four Emperors", "Whitebeard Edward".
"Okay, I'll just call you 'Uncle'. I have to have a few drinks today. Margao, bring me my good wine!"
The mangrove resin was poured into the sea breeze, and a huge bubble was propped up to cover the "Mobydick". A huge fleet composed of more than a hundred pirate ships began to dive in place, and slowly disappeared on the sea with rolling snow-white waves.
…
It was not Luo Jie’s first time to dive deep, but it was his first time to dive in a coated boat, so it felt a bit fresh.
It feels like entering a huge aquarium, except that the people are in the tank and the fish are outside.
The Grand Line is not a windless zone, and there are very few sea kings. However, this common sense is limited to shallow seas where sunlight can penetrate. Once you enter the deep sea, no one knows what huge monsters are hidden in the seemingly endless darkness.
.
It can be seen that the "Whitebeard Pirates" are already very experienced in deep-sea navigation. They sent murloc sailors who can see in the sea to lead the way for the entire fleet. They also used the murloc's talent of communicating with fish to disperse some harmless sailors.
schools of fish.
If a ferocious giant sea creature is discovered, "Whitebeard Edward" will use "Overlord Color Haki" to scare it away or kill it.
A few hours later, the "Whitebeard Pirates" fleet successfully arrived at the "Mishman Island" located 10,000 meters under the sea, and docked at the Royal Pier.
Being able to use the Royal Pier is not because of the pride of "Whitebeard Edward", but because "Mishman Island" has always been under the protection of the "Whitebeard Pirates".
Under the protection of two teams of mermaid guards, an old mermaid man with a crown, an orange beard and an afro, riding a black mini whale, led a group of family members and courtiers to wait respectfully on the dock to greet "
The arrival of the Whitebeard Pirates.
It is the emperor of "Fishman Island", "The Great Knight of the Sea, King Neptune".
"King Neptune, long time no see."
"Mr. Edward, I already know your purpose of coming, and I am deeply sorry for what happened to "Ace"."
The rugged-looking old mermaid's eyes fell on Luo Jie, and a trace of surprise could not help but appear in his eyes.
The standing position in any formal occasion is very particular, especially those on the left and right sides of "Edward the Whitebeard" must be his extremely trusted people.
In the past, these two positions were "Phoenix Margo" and "Fire Fist Ace". Now that "Fire Fist Ace" has been arrested, the replacement should be "Diamond Jozi", the captain of the 3rd Division.
.
However, at that moment, there was actually a young human being standing in that position that he had never seen before.
What's even more bizarre is that none of the dozen or so other division captains showed any dissatisfaction with this positioning method. It seemed that the human young man should be standing in that position in their hearts.
Damn it! He can't be the illegitimate son of "Edward Whitebeard", right?
No, "Edward Whitebeard" has never publicly announced his marriage. Even if he does have a son, he is his biological son. How can he talk about illegitimate children?
"Whitebeard Edward" noticed the sight of "King Neptune" and suddenly said: "By the way, King Neptune, let me introduce to you, this is my nephew - the number one supernova in this year.
"Night Dire", the captain of the "Harem Pirates", I hope you will take more care of my nephew when he comes here to borrow a road."
Nephew? Don’t you, an old man, like to recognize your adopted son the most? Why did you change it to nephew this time?
That's right, the adopted son does it, and the nephew is related by blood. Even if he hides his identity, the nephew is closer than the adopted son.
The little theater in his mind was too colorful for "King Neptune". The more he thought about it, the more he felt that he seemed to have touched the unspeakable secret of a certain "strongest man in the world", and the eyes he looked at Luo Jie became more and more subtle.
Although he guessed Luo Jie's "true identity", "King Neptune" still had to pretend to be honest and honest, "If you dare to say it, I dare to believe it." He patted Luo Jie on the shoulder and said warmly: "I
I have a very good personal relationship with Mr. Edward. If you don't mind, I'll call you my nephew. When you come to "Fish-Man Island" in the future, come to the palace, just like going home... Come, come, let me introduce you to me.
Several children."
"King Neptune" has three sons and one daughter.
The eldest prince "Shark Star" is a mermaid of the shark species. He is 22 years old, about 6 meters long, has long dark blue hair, and is handsome and majestic.
The second prince "Emperor Star" is a mermaid of the oarfish species. He is 21 years old. He is slightly shorter than his brother "Shark Star", but more slender. He has a funny face that makes him look like a clown without makeup, and he speaks unconsciously.
of singing.
The third prince, "Mola Star", is a mermaid of the sunfish species. He is 18 years old and less than 5 meters long. He dances and moves when he talks and looks like a festive little fat man.
After briefly introducing his three sons, "King Neptune" suddenly changed into a very proud tone and introduced his only daughter to Luo Jie.
"Nephew Nightmare, this is my daughter "White Star". She is 14 years old this year. She is the most charming pearl on our Dragon Palace Island. You are all young people, and you will need to get closer to her more in the future."
Under the enthusiastic introduction of "King Neptune", Luo Jie couldn't help but raise his head and looked curiously at the "Princess White Star" who was as beautiful as the empress "Boa Hancock" in the original work.
Big...really too big.
The genes of fishmen are very random, and fishmen of the same species may give birth to children of different species.
Therefore, "Shirahoshi" is completely different from her three brothers. She is a giant mermaid. Although she is only 14 years old, her body length reaches an astonishing 11 meters.
What is this concept?
"Boya Sandasonia", who Luo Jie once thought was beyond his reach, was only 4.5 meters tall... Huh? Why did he add the word "out of reach"?
Of course, if you ignore the "big" characteristic, "Shirahoshi" is definitely a peerless beautiful girl under universal aesthetics. Not only does she have an impeccable appearance and figure, but she also lives in a deep palace like "Ryuugong Castle" for a long time.
Yuan, exudes a pure temperament that is ignorant of the world.
"Lord Night Dire, I...I am Bai Xing."
Although she was almost six times the size of Luo Jie, this giant mermaid girl was surprisingly timid. After blushing and saying a word, she hid behind her father "King Neptune" and did not dare to come out.
Of course, given the difference in body size between father and daughter, this move was a bit deceptive.
"Don't call me Sir, call me brother." "King Neptune" patted "White Star"'s hand, his eyes full of love, turned his head and apologized to Luo Jie: "This child's mother passed away early, for some reasons
, I don’t leave Dragon Palace City very often, and I am a bit shy of strangers. It will be good for my nephew to come and sit with me more often when I have time in the future, so that I can get familiar with him.”
…
"King Neptune" was originally planning to host a banquet for the "Whitebeard Pirates" and his party, but "Whitebeard Edward" declined the offer on the grounds that time was tight and he could not stay long, and said that he would definitely go to the banquet when he returned.
Drunk and unable to return.
After the group returned to Ryugu City, "King Neptune" left the eldest prince "Shark Star" alone.
"Shark Star, do you know why I left you alone?"
"I don't know."
"King Neptune" sighed and said sadly: "Of the three of you brothers, the emperor is impulsive and the overturned star is foolish. Only you can take on the big responsibility, so I can only say some things to you."
"Shark Star" looked solemn and said solemnly: "My son is willing to share my father's worries."
"King Neptune" was still quite satisfied with his eldest son. He stood up from the throne and walked down. He said in a calm tone like a father and son chatting: "If Mr. Edward can come back alive from "Malinfando" this time, and "Whitebeard Pirate"
The main force of the group is basically complete, and I plan to marry "White Star" to the young man named "Night Dire"."
"Shark Star" couldn't help being shocked and said: "Father, is it too early to mention my little sister's marriage? She is only 14 years old."
"King Neptune" said nonchalantly: "Your mother was only 12 years old when she married me."
"But... that "Night Dire" is a human being."
Human beings have always discriminated against murlocs as monsters. The biological mother of the four "Shark Star" brothers and sisters, "Otohime", also died at the hands of humans. Neither he nor the residents of "Murloc Island" have a good impression of humans.
"Don't think I don't know. Most of the mermaid girls in the folk will grow legs at the age of 30 and secretly go to land to marry human men and have children." "King Neptune"'s face darkened, and his orange beard seemed to be
Blowing up, "What? Folk women can marry humans, but my royal women can't?"
"Shark Star" didn't expect "King Neptune" to actually know such folk secrets, so he couldn't help but smile bitterly and said: "Father, I don't know from which channel you learned about this matter, but you only know one part and don't know the other."
Second - think about it, if those mermaid women really set foot on land in order to marry humans, then why are mermaid women on land so rare? Logically speaking, there should be very many!"
"King Neptune" was stunned, and suddenly realized that "Shark Star" could not refute what he said.
