One Piece: Fists of the Quartet

Chapter 219 Prohibited Drugs
"White Star."

Neptune sat on the head of the pink bed, staring at the bump in the comforter.

Gently patted on the pink quilt, Neptune carefully evacuated the dark room, never waking up Shirahoshi who was nestled under the quilt.

After a long time, there was a lovely hum in the dark room.

After Neptune carefully closed the gate, the guards on the side stepped forward to send news.

"What? They're back again?"

Somewhat puzzled, he asked the guard at the door. After getting an affirmative answer, Neptune frowned.

Countless speculations flew through his mind, what was greedy, wanted more conditions, what kind of murlocs with bad attitudes provoked them on Murloc Island, and so on.

As soon as the thought passed away, as an upright and kind monarch, he still didn't like to speculate on others with extreme malice.

……

Soon Neptune, surrounded by dozens of guards, came to the main hall where the few people had been entertained before.

Then I saw Zhang Youli and others feasting on the dining table.

……

Neptune tilted his head, and there was an instant short circuit.

He began to wonder if the scene of summoning Zhang Youli and his party just now was his illusion, otherwise how could they be hungry again after only an hour apart.

His eyes blankly scanned the familiar and not-so-familiar faces in front of him, until finally, he finally saw a very familiar face.

With a flash in front of his eyes, Neptune quickly waved his hand at Shark Star.

Shark star was taken aback, then pointed at himself.

"come over!"

Although he didn't say it out loud, that's what Neptune meant.

After Shark Star came over, Neptune asked his doubts with an awkward expression.

"Ah, this ah..."

Shark star scratched his head, his face was also a little confused.

"Father, didn't you go to see little sister Bai Xing before, and then I think it's not good for everyone to sit here and wait for you."

"And the atmosphere at that time was really awkward, so I asked someone to bring another table of food... I thought that if they didn't eat it, I would serve it to Sister Bai Xing later, but I didn't expect..."

Didn't expect them to start eating extravagantly, right?

Neptune stroked his beard, and looked at Shark Star in some astonishment.

Then he sat on the main seat and coughed twice.

However, because of Zhang Youli's words just now, now only Daosguina, Femio and Cousy are left by his side.

and so……

Under Neptune's coughing, no one raised his head to stare at him.

Embarrassedly drank the red wine, Neptune had to wait for Zhang Youli and the others to finish eating.

Two minutes later, Zhang Youli, who was biting the steak, suddenly remembered that he came to Neptune to ask for something. Don showed a polite smile.

Neptune smiled back at him awkwardly.

Dao Si beside Dao Si and Cousy beside Dao Si consciously stopped eating and stayed obediently on the stool.

"Cough cough."

Zhang Youli coughed twice again, intending to drink Neptune and say his request, but the untimely chewing sound came from behind Zhang Youli.

……

Duang!

The corners of Neptune's eyes twitched, looking at Femio who was crouching behind Zhang Youli with his head in his arms, he couldn't help but shudder for him.

This time I guess it's not easy...

"King Neptune, I'm here for an item in the Dragon Palace."

Zhang Youli got straight to the point.

Neptune's eyes lit up, here we come!

Picking up a glass of red wine and pouring it into his mouth, moistening his throat, he also spoke politely even though Zhang Youli was used to being direct.

"Mr. Zhang Youli, tell me, I will give what I can."

"I heard that there is a forbidden drug in the Dragon Palace, which can increase your strength after taking it?"

Seeing Zhang Youli who seemed to be very interested in this medicine, Neptune's eyes flickered, and then he spoke slowly.

"Mr. Zhang Youli, you also said that it is a banned drug. You probably don't know its side effects yet. It will overdraw your vitality."

Speaking of this, Neptune paused for a moment, glanced at the expression on Zhang Youli's face, but there was no change.

Neptune was not surprised, and continued.

"And with Mr. Zhang Youli's strength, you probably won't be able to use that kind of thing, right?"

Zhang Youli grinned, knocked on the dining table and said leisurely.

"I just want to try this medicine. King Neptune will not refuse."

Neptune wanted to say something else to dispel Zhang Youli's thoughts, but he interrupted him with a wave of his hand.

"Your Majesty Neptune, I know in my heart that if the Fishman Island is in trouble in the future, I should help and I will help."

As soon as Zhang Youli's words came out, the atmosphere cooled down unexpectedly.

Neptune sat on his seat and stroked his beard vigorously, refusing to speak, and even the small hiss of Femio on Zhang Youli's side disappeared.

Zhang Youli tapped his fingers on the table more vigorously.

Squinting his eyes, Zhang Youli was a little puzzled.

This banned drug should be useless to Neptune and the others now, right?That being the case, why don't you want to show me a favor?

Miscalculated?
After a few minutes of silence, Neptune, who was sitting on the main seat, gave a wry smile.

"Mr. Zhang Youli, it's not that I refused to give it to you. The medicine was really lost, and we don't know who stole it."

Probably feeling that this fact might be used by Zhang Youli as an excuse for his refusal, Neptune continued.

"This is really not an excuse, Mr. Zhang Youli, that kind of banned drug is indeed gone in our Dragon Palace now."

Has it been stolen?
Zhang Youli also fell silent.

He knew that the medicine would eventually be taken away by a...a murloc, but he didn't know when it was taken away, so he chose the most convenient way.

Ask Neptune directly.

So, is it okay to just catch that murloc next?

Zhang Youli rubbed his brain and thought carefully.

It's better to do it yourself, the white murloc was very cunning in his memory, and it would be bad to stir up the hostility of the murloc against humans.

Even though it's very hostile now...

It was resolved in an instant. After asking about the whereabouts of the medicine, Neptune didn't say anything after finding the medicine.

……

Looking at Zhang Youli who suddenly fell silent, Neptune felt a little impatient.

Wouldn't it really be considered an excuse?

When Neptune was thinking about how to explain this matter seriously, Zhang Youli suddenly got up and nodded.

"Then don't bother King Neptune, let's go!"

Neptune choked up.

ha?
……

From time to time, a circle of water rushes out of the dark deep sea, and monkeys are among them.

After wandering around in the deep sea for a few laps, the monkey finally saw a dilapidated ship in the deep sea outside.

It should be this, right?

The golden light in the monkey's eyes was even more intense, and with a kick of his legs, he jumped up to the top of the boat.
