As soon as Jinbe finished speaking, Shirahoshi, who was shocked, was unambiguous and started vibrato five times.
While crying, Bai Xing looked timidly at Di Yuan.
"Sister Rabbit, have I disturbed your interest? Woohoo."
"No, the one who disturbed us is Vanderdeken IX, what does that have to do with you!"
Di Yuan said to Gawain angrily while holding Bai Xing's arm.
"Sir, Vanderdyken IX really went too far. Bai Xing is only an eleven-year-old child, how did he do it!
Since your lord is currently protected by Jinbei, please allow me some time so that I can do what the navy should do!
I'm going to hunt down that bastard!"
"hehe."
Facing Di Yuan's request, Gawain smiled and shook his head.
"Stop it, Diyuan, don't you remember what Neptune said?
For five consecutive years, the murloc nation was unable to find Van der Deken, who was hiding in the depths of the sea.
Do you think you are more familiar with this sea than the fish-men?"
"But……."
Di Yuan was a little depressed. During the previous hour-long exchange, she really liked Bai Xing, a big boy who was as innocent as a blank slate.
Seeing such a girl being threatened by weapons flying from the sky at any time, Di Yuan couldn't bear it.
And Gawain.
He thought for a moment, then turned to look at Dabai who was curled up next to Diyuan.
Facing Bai Xing's big eyes with giant water drops constantly dripping, Gawain hesitated and said to Bai Xing.
"I thought before that just giving you a few sets of picture scrolls as a gift was a bit too light, so do you want me to make up for it with a few more gifts?"
"Huh?"
Bai Xing was a little confused. She thought Lord Gawain was going to tell her something related to Vanderdyken.
The expected question turned into this one. Although Bai Xing was puzzled, he quickly shook his head.
"No...no, the painting you gave me is really great. The sunshine and forest there are beautiful scenery that I have never seen with my own eyes!"
"You will see those scenery with your own eyes in the future, but it will take some time.
As for now, let me give you a piece of freedom first.
Don’t say no!”
After the words fell, Gawain turned his head and looked at Neptune seriously.
"Neptune, good friend, do you think Bai Xing is suitable to be my wife?"
"Of course...wait, what are you talking about?!!"
One second, Neptune wanted to agree with Gawain's statement, but the next second, he immediately realized, what the hell is going on?!
The friend I just made suddenly wants to be my son-in-law!
In other words, the Celestial Dragons are trying to steal someone’s daughter!!!
Looking at the shocked Neptune, Gawain smiled slightly, then clapped his hands gently.
"Isn't Vanderdeken IX always pursuing White Star?
Haven't you been hunting for Vanderdyken?
He can't catch up to Bai Xing, and you can't catch him either. The longer this situation lasts, the longer Bai Xing will suffer!
In this case, why don’t we reverse the situation?”
Having said this, Gawain pointed back at Bai Xing, who was too shocked to speak.
"Placing Shirahoshi in a hard-shell tower without any windows will really make her feel safe? I can't feel any sense of security from Shirahoshi.
Different from passive protection, only by taking the initiative and solving Vanderdyken once and for all can White Star be truly safe!
Since he wants to be Shirahoshi’s husband, then I will give him a husband!
From now on, Neptune, go and spread the news of my proposal to marry Princess White Star to the entire sea!"
"But...but..."
Neptune already understood what Gawain meant, but whether he understood it or not, why was this decision so difficult to make?
Gawain didn't leave any time for Neptune to think. Seeing Neptune's hesitation, Gawain secretly laughed in his heart, but said simply.
"What are you still hesitating about? It's your responsibility as a father!
Now that things have happened, apart from the methods I mentioned, do you think there is any trap that can catch the cunning Vanderdyken?
Don't be hesitant here, do as I say, and take advantage of the banquet to announce my proposal to marry Princess White Star!
It just so happens that we were still thinking about what kind of excuses we should use to provide a suitable reason for my goal of helping you set foot on land.
Well now, isn’t this the best excuse?
Because the Celestial Dragon Gawain, that is, I was deeply attracted to the White Star, so I, a fatuous and greedy Celestial Dragon, would rather support the fish people to move to the land, but also want to get the White Star Princess!
This kind of thing is probably absolutely unacceptable to both Vanderdyken and the mastermind behind it!
And if I, as a Celestial Dragon, make such a decision for a woman, do they have any reason not to believe it?
With any luck, Neptune, we might be able to solve both problems at once!"
After the words fell, Gawain slammed the table. Looking at Neptune, whose eyes were obviously moved but still hesitant in his heart, Gawain stood up directly.
As he walked towards Neptune, Gawain continued to place weights on the scale in Neptune's heart.
Just listen to his serious words.
"If you have a better way, tell me now.
If not, I hope you try to consider who your father is!
What's more, Bai Xing is only eleven years old, and the so-called marriage is just a bait we threw out for Vanderdeken. Do you think I am really a greedy person who will not even let the child go!
Or is it that Bai Xing and I’s temporary reputation is more important than her future freedom and happiness?”
"I……!"
Hearing Gawain say this, Neptune's heartstrings really relaxed. On the one hand, Gawain's method was simple and practical. On the other hand, Gawain said that he was not a greedy person. This made Neptune put down his biggest ambition.
of alertness.
He stood up after Gawain and nodded simply.
"Your method is indeed a good one. I...I can do what you say!"
At this moment, Neptune's four children were stunned.
While the four children were stunned, Gawain turned to Neptune and showed a deep smile.
"I knew, Neptune, you should be a sensible person, because my suggestions would not cause harm to anyone.
I……."
"Whaaaaaaaaaaaaah!!!"
Before Gawain could finish his words, Bai Xing behind him suddenly burst into tears.
While wailing, Shirahoshi sobbed and shouted in disbelief.
"How could my father just agree to it? I don't want to get married yet, wow wow!!!
I haven't seen land yet, I haven't seen sunlight, I haven't seen forests and furry animals, and I haven't gone to pay homage to my mother yet.
How can you get married so suddenly, oooooooooo~."
Hearing this, Dizono next to Shirahoshi burst into laughter, and even Jinbei on the other side couldn't help but roll his eyes.
Gawain turned around helplessly, looked up at the crying Bai Xing, and continued to speak helplessly.
"Uncle is joking with you. Marriage and everything else are all fake.
You are only eleven years old. Unless your uncle is crazy, there is no way he can take advantage of you.
Don't cry, okay, Bai Xing. After the banquet is over, how about your uncle taking time to take you on a land trip?
Everything is fake, a plan to seduce Vanderdyken, you are not old enough to get married yet, Shirahoshi!"
"Why?"
Bai Xing was stunned. She immediately stopped crying with trembling, blinked her big eyes, and looked at Gawain slyly.
After a while, Bai Xing brushed the seawater around her face to wash away her tears, then she lowered her head and put her hands on her chest.
She was a little shy and cautious when she spoke to Gawain.
"Then...then you must keep your word, Lord Gawain.
You must take me on a land trip~.
I..., if you can take me to the sea, then I... I will be so happy that I can't cry~"
Having said this, Bai Xing tilted her head, and her long pink hair spread along the sea water, floating softly behind her head, until the color of the sea water turned into a lovely pink.
Looking at the expectant girl in front of him, looking at the little desire in Bai Xing's eyes, and the little bit of shyness left from before.
Gawain took a deep breath.
Although this child is huge, even though he is too young, even though his tail is like a fish, even though there are countless of them.
But...but...she is so foul!
At this moment, Gawain finally understood why Shirahoshi was called one of the two most beautiful women in the world by people in the One Piece world!
Slender waist, charming fish tail, pitiful temperament, and innocent eyes.
None of those Gawain can be seen.
Gawain can only see that when the innocent Bai Xing looks at a person, she only sees that person herself!
And now, Bai Xing only has eyes for him!
After exhaling the breath he had just taken, Gawain tried his best to shake his head, then nodded again and said.
"Yes, as long as you don't cry, I will definitely take you on a land trip.
As for now, okay, everyone, please sit down, I haven't had enough of Dragon Palace's refreshments yet.
Like I said, I'm not really asking to marry Shirahoshi, it's just a fun show, Vanderdyken, and the mastermind behind it, they are our audience and prey!"
After the words fell, Gawain abandoned the reverie in his mind and focused on the refreshments in his hand.
But his current calm demeanor actually made Dizono and Jinpei on both sides of him look appreciatively!
As for White Star.
The little girl's face was red, and her eyes kept glancing at Gawain's figure.
As a result...she always only glanced at it for a short time and then timidly retracted her head.
