Although he is only eleven years old, Shirahoshi has already reached the size of nine meters.
And his brothers, well, her three brothers are only about six meters tall.
So when Bai Xing poked out his little head...
Shark Star and the other three had to realize that the three of them were the ones with the little brains...
Under the quilt, when she saw that the person coming was her brother, Bai Xing's timidity disappeared a lot. She got out of the quilt, wiped her tears, and asked in a low voice.
"Brother Shark Star, and Brother Emperor Star and Cartoon Star, why did you get to the Hard Shell Tower?"
While Bai Xing was talking, her pet shark Mekaro also swam out from behind the bed.
Shirahoshi held Mekaro in his arms and continued to talk to his brothers expectantly.
"Are you planning to play with me? That's great. Are we going to play hide-and-seek?
As long as I hide in Mekaro's mouth, you will never find it, hee hee~."
"Uh...Sister Bai Xing."
Looking at his expectant sister, Shark Xing felt a little sad. Over the years, his sister has lived too lonely.
An attack on Shirahoshi could come at any time, making the guards nervous about opening the door to Shirahoshi's room.
The target fruit user of Vanderdeken IX was hiding in the sea. No one could catch them, so no one dared to let White Star leave the hard-shell tower!
Five years, exactly five years, at this moment, not even Shark Xing can imagine the pain that his sister has felt in the past five years.
But when he thought that his sister could leave the hard-shell tower briefly and attend the next banquet.
Shark Star himself couldn't help but get excited.
Shark Xing covered up his excitement and turned to Bai Xing calmly.
"Father asked me to take you out of the Hard Shell Tower."
"Oh, it turns out you're not playing games with me, but taking me away from the hard... hard... oooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo [...
At this moment, Bai Xing burst into tears, and her cries made the soldiers standing guard around the hard-shell tower become nervous.
In the hard-shell tower, Bai Xing was crying loudly in disbelief, and she was waving her pink tail desperately. The constant flapping of her tail blew away the quilt, but Bai Xing didn't care.
She put her hands on her mouth and confirmed loudly to Shark Star while crying.
"Woo, brother, I...can I really leave the hard-shell tower?"
"It's temporary. You may have to come back in the future, but at least today, you can attend the grand banquet we are about to hold!"
"Uuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu.
Bai Xing's front legs were crying, but his back legs couldn't help but laugh.
"Is it actually a banquet? I can actually attend the banquet. What kind of banquet is this? How grand is it? Can I see many people?
Will we go to land to see the sun, forests, and countless small animals with soft fur that mother said?
Also, who is hosting the banquet? Is it the Lord Jinbei you often talk about, or some other person on land? My father does have a friend on land. I think his name is Roger. When he was with me in the past,
, I always mention Roger!”
At this point, Bai Xing may feel that he has said too much and thought too much.
So she wiped her tears and whispered.
"Actually, it doesn't matter even if you can't go to land...
Brother, can I go for a walk outside Dragon Palace City? I want to see Mrs. Charlie's mermaid cafe, and I also want Mrs. Charlie to do divination for me. I heard that her divination is very accurate.
Also, I want to see Geelong Code Square, Coral Hill, especially Mermaid Bay. I haven’t seen the blue sky, white clouds and sunshine of Mermaid Bay for a long time!
And there's Ufree Hills. Are the houses there still as luxurious as before?
Especially Umi no Mori, I really want to visit Umi no Mori, that’s where all the beautiful corals grow!!!”
Full of expectations, Bai Xing divulged the dream he had hidden in his heart for a long time. Bai Xing folded his hands on his chest and looked at his brothers pitifully.
"Brother, can I... go to the place I mentioned?"
"Well……."
Shark Star was a little helpless. Although his father allowed Bai Xing to go out, would he really allow Bai Xing to roam around in Fish-Man Island?
So Shark Star replied thoughtfully.
"I don't know either, but you can at least go to the grand banquet hall, where today's banquet will be held!"
"Um, okay."
Bai Xing was still very excited, and she quickly packed her things...
After packing for a while, Bai Xing realized that she had nothing to pack, so she pulled the shark Mekaro's fin and said to her brothers.
"I've packed up. When will we leave?"
"Now you can."
Shark Star answered as she led Bai Xing toward the door of the Hard Shell Tower. Bai Xing cautiously followed behind her. When she really stood at the door, her big eyes were filled with tears again.
"Really...can I leave?"
On the side, Shark Xing nodded and carefully looked around. He was paying attention to the sky around him.
Who knows if some weird weapons will suddenly fly over.
Although Shark Star's nod was rather perfunctory, Bai Xing was still relieved. She patted Mekallo's shark head, and Mekallo quickly opened his mouth.
Holding Mekaro's teeth with both hands, Bai Xing briefly dodged and swam directly into Mekaro's mouth. She used a big shark to hold herself, and followed her brothers out of the hard-shell tower.
Seeing his sister's appearance, Tartarus wanted to speak a little, but after thinking about his elder brother's tail, Tartarus remained quiet, and at the same time he paid attention to the sky around him.
…
At the same time, in the palace hall.
After the three princes left, Neptune also asked the two ministers to prepare for the banquet and security work.
At this point, there were only a few people left in the hall, so Neptune returned to his seat and sighed to Gawain.
"Gao Wensheng, I really made you laugh, I can't even protect my own family.
If Jinping and Dizono hadn't been here, I really wouldn't have dared to let Bai Xing come out so easily, I... am really an unqualified father!"
"Qualified or not, you are their father, Neptune."
Gawain tried to persuade him, and then continued to ask softly.
"But can you explain to me why you are worried about Bai Xing going out?"
"It's not all because of a pervert. I wonder if you have heard of the Flying Pirates." Neptune asked.
Of course Gawain of the Flying Pirates knows, but he doesn't know if he should know.
After all, Gawain doesn't remember how many Baileys were wanted for Vanderdaken, and he doesn't seem to even have a wanted warrant. This probably means that people on land shouldn't know Vanderdaken, right?
Thinking of this, he turned to look at Di Yuan, who frowned in thought.
"What generation is Vanderdyken in now, Your Majesty Neptune?" Di Yuan asked.
"Ah, you have indeed heard that Vanderdyken is now in his ninth life!" Neptune replied softly.
After receiving the response, Di Yuan narrowed his eyes slightly.
"I haven't heard of the Flying Pirates for a long time. After all, our navy has only wanted Van der Deken VII. There seems to be no arrest warrant for Van der Deken IX now.
You just said that he ate a devil fruit, so he is really depraved. Once upon a time, Vanderdeken VII relied on his skilled two-color Haki and fishman jujitsu, as well as the ship and sea beast that could freely enter and exit the deep sea. The navy has caused quite a bit of trouble.
But I haven’t experienced it personally, I just heard those stories from Mr. Zefa when I was a child.”
"Indeed, you are right. Compared with his grandfather and father, Vanderdaken IX who ate the Devil Fruit is really incompetent in terms of strength.
As a fishman, it is indeed ridiculous that he has lost the ability to swim in the sea.
but……."
Neptune shook his head helplessly.
"Perhaps it was a mistake. The fruit ability of Vanderdaken IX really caused us a lot of trouble. What he ate was the Target Fruit.
Five years ago, that guy accidentally touched my daughter Shirahoshi and thus located my daughter's location.
At first, he kept sending love letters to my daughter. As long as he threw them out, the love letters would fly into my daughter's hands.
That's a damn bastard, my daughter was only six years old, only six years old!!!
Later, he became more serious and began to turn love letters into sharp weapons.
No one knows when the weapons will fly over!
I sent people to arrest him, but in this vast deep sea, our guards and Shirahoshi's brothers couldn't search for him at all.
So, I had to build a hard shell tower and let Shirahoshi live there to ensure her safety!"
Boom!
Just as he said this, there was a knock on the door, and Neptune immediately stopped talking.
"Father, we are here with Bai Xing."
The sound of Shark Star came from outside the door, so Neptune vigorously swung his fish tail. After the fish tail rolled up the water, the palace door opened directly without the need for a guard to switch.
In this way, Gawain saw the real White Star for the first time.
As for Gawain's first impression of Bai Xing...
hehe.
Although her head protruding from the shark's mouth is cute and cute, it always looks a bit scary...
