Vice Captain of One Piece

Chapter 582 The Mermaid Disappearance Case

Dragon Palace Port Town, Coral Hill.

·
After finding that they couldn't find their friends no matter how hard they searched, the mermaid girls from Irijiang came here to report the crime to the soldiers.

·
After hearing what they said, a soldier said in a deep voice, "The Straw Hat Boys, are they the ones who captured the girls who entered Jiangwan?"

·
"No, that's not what I mean, they are all good kids, and they are also friends of Kemi." The mermaid with long pink curly hair immediately spoke up to help Luffy and the others anxiously.

·
"Maybe she was coerced?" The soldier said cautiously, "Based on the current facts, only our security team and the mermaid girls were present at that time, as well as the murlocs who were driven away during the battle. Those people in the street, as well as the Pirate Straw Hat Boys. No one can prove their actions after they disappeared. Humans have a reason to catch mermaids at any time! Because in the human world, young mermaids are auctioned at high prices!"

·
Hearing his words, a murloc resident couldn't help saying: "But even so, you can't doubt it randomly."

·
Hearing this, the soldier said in a deep voice: "Do you know how many pirates pretended to be good people to approach the mermaids and captured them so far?!"

·
Hearing his words, the residents fell into silence. Although they knew it was not good to doubt others casually, what the soldiers said was the truth.

Not far away, Shen Xing and other three princes were surrounding Mrs. Xia Li, intending to ask her something about divination.And Mrs. Xia Li was still afraid of the future she had predicted. She sat on the rock with her tail bent and said nothing, while the blue crystal ball was placed aside.

·
Although he couldn't bear to ask Mrs. Xia Li now, Prince Deep Star, who was eager to know the facts, could only ask in a low voice: "Ms. Xia Li, have you really foreseen the future you just said? Flying will destroy Mermaid Island."

·
Mrs. Xia Li used her hands slightly, and after she passed, she nodded and said in a hoarse voice, "Well, I did see it... I saw the truth..."

·
"The hit rate you predicted, even we in Dragon Palace City have heard about it." Prince Shenxing frowned slightly, and said after thinking: "This is troublesome, I planned to regard them as the ones who saved my sister." The benefactor of the pet came to receive it. Although it is an uncertain future, it cannot be left alone."

In front of Papagu's shop.

·
After temporarily storing the packed things in Pappagu's shop, Luffy, Papago, and Kemi sat on Mekaro's back.The black whale carrying King Neptune and Mecarro swam towards the sky, leaving a crowd of astonished pedestrians behind.

·
"Don't fall~~", Neptune sat on the back of the black whale Hall with his arms folded, his tail flicked back and forth in a good mood.

·
There are still many bubbles filled with houses floating in the sky, and the residents above waved to them when they saw them passing by.

·
Anke sat sideways on Mekaro's red vest, looked at the surrounding scenery with a smile, and then asked with a chuckle, "Excuse me, Lord Neptune. Although it is a bit abrupt, why did you suddenly invite us to Dragon Palace City as guests? "

·
Hearing her polite question, Pappagu immediately gave her a thumbs up, although it was a bit difficult to do it with the starfish's five-fingered tentacles.But after all, among the group, she was the only one who spoke politely to the king of the Murloc Island.

·
King Neptune was quite satisfied with the only person in the group who talked to him in honorific terms, and said with a smile: "Hey, hey, hey~~ That shark Mekaro is my daughter's favorite pet. At that time she I kept crying because Mekaro didn’t come back, and I couldn’t do anything, I didn’t expect to be attacked by a sea monster. Thanks to you for saving it when it was in trouble.”

·
"Hahaha~~", Luffy just sat on the shark's head, kicked his legs and said, "Although I saved it by accident, it's great to be able to save it~~"

·
Hearing this, Papagu whispered in shock, "This guy... is the mermaid princess's pet..."

·
"Ah~~", Brooke, who heard this with sharp ears, put his head in front of Pappagu, and said teasingly, "Mr. Pappagu~~ I remember you said before that you and the mermaid princess are good friends Come~~~"

·
"! Shhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh!" Papagu hurriedly turned his head to signal him not to continue talking, after all the father of the mermaid princess was nearby.

·
"Oh~~ So you're lying~~~" Brooke nodded suddenly, then looked back at Joe Barriss, who was getting farther and farther away from the Celebrity Street, "Speaking of which, Mr. Sanji is really unlucky~~ ~He probably wants to see the mermaid princess the most~~~"

·
"That guy is a man born under a bad star, probably..." Usopp looked back at those blocks with some sympathy.After sympathizing for a while, Usopp suddenly looked down at the huge shark under his feet, and then thought about the king on one side, and then a female mermaid like a round ball appeared in his mind, "Keep the shark as a pet princess..."

·
Kemi hugged her fishtail and said hesitantly: "But, is it really okay... Even we will go to Dragon Palace City together..."

·
Usopp squatted beside her, imitating Neptune's voice and said: "Didn't he say that friends can also be together? Isn't that very good~~"

·
Nami was also sitting there, enjoying the wind comfortably above, "Isn't that a place you can't usually get into? Of course you should enjoy this rare opportunity~~~"

·
After Anke reached out and touched the camellia pinned to his ear, he turned his eyes from the scenery below to the nearby King Neptune stretched out his hand, and said with a smile: "Well, Lord Neptune is the king, why did you come down to invite me personally? Those of us pirates? Usually, you can just ask the officials for these things, right?"

·
"Hey, hey, hey~~~ In fact, I sent my sons to pick you up just now, but they didn't come back, so I came in person~ because I am also looking forward to the banquet~ I want to start early~~" , While talking, Neptune's thick beard kept floating out of transparent liquid.

·
"I'm looking forward to it too~~" Luffy showed the same expression.

·
Nami roared loudly: "I said! Can you two wipe your drool!!",
·
"Ho, ho, ho~~~~", King Neptune wiped his beard with his hand, and then continued: "My army will find your other partners soon, and entertain them to Dragon Palace City ~~Don’t worry~~”

·
Luffy looked at the scenery ahead, then ran to Encore and asked, "Encore~~ Do you know where the others have gone?"

·
"No, Sauron and I were the only ones who were washed away to an unknown place." Anke explained lightly, and a certain green algae head had already fallen asleep leaning on the shark's dorsal fin, completely ignoring that he was at a high altitude superior.

·
"That's it..." Luffy nodded, then looked at the navigator not far away, "Nami, do you know where they went?"

·
"Well~ because the rest of the people were washed into the same strait like me." Nami said with a smile: "Robin said that he wanted to find historical relics of this country, Frankie went I went to find his master's relatives and then went to Qianyanghao. Ai...your brother said he was going to find Jinping, ah yes, he took Baozi with him."

·
Hearing this, Anke secretly breathed a sigh of relief, "No wonder neither my side nor Luffy's side can see the buns, and I was worried that it would be washed away by the water..."

·
"Since everyone is fine~~", Nami smiled, then tilted her head to look at King Neptune, and asked cutely: "That~~grandpa~~~~~"

·
"It's Neptune, God of the Sea, I'm telling you!!!!" Pappagu jumped up after the persuasion was ineffective, and bit Nami's head with his mouth wide open.

·
"..." Nami still maintained her lovely smile, as if she wasn't offended by Papagu's behavior.

·
let's wait quietly for a few seconds
·
After a loud "bang bang bang bang", the dying starfish fell down.The culprit continued to pretend to be innocent and blinked, and asked the question he had always cared about: "This place is obviously a place [-] meters deep in the sea, why is the fishman island so bright?"

·
"Hahaha, it's not that the place where the fishman island is located is so bright. It's that a long time ago, the murlocs began to live in the only seabed where the sun can shine. This is the source of the fishman island. There are people who can It is a huge tree root called Sun Tree Eve, which transmits sunlight directly from the ground to the bottom of the sea."

·
"Transmit sunlight?" Nami was a little startled, and then asked: "In other words, are there more than [-] meters of glowing tree roots growing here?"

·
"That's right, although scholars have racked their brains to explain it with scientific principles, but it is a mysterious tree that uses the sunlight on the ground to illuminate the roots of the tree, and the breath of this tree also supplies air to the bottom of the sea."

·
Usopp said suspiciously: "It's like the boss of the mangrove tree in the Chambord Islands..."

·
Anke turned her head to look at the beautiful scenery below, the faint smile that had been hanging on her face was slightly restrained, and the slightly out-of-focus Yitong couldn't tell what she was thinking.The long black hair blown by the breeze rises and falls from time to time, and the pure white camellia has an unreal purity under the sunlight.

·
At this time, Lu Fei's stomach screamed, and he urged with a puffy face: "Uncle curly hair, I'm hungry..."

·
"Hahaha~~It will be here soon~~", King Neptune smiled.

·
And at this time, before they knew it, everyone still came to the sky above the Fishman Island, and those huge bubbles that separated the sea water were right in front of them.And not far away, there is a circular iron ring with a width of tens of meters engraved on the bubble.It was only here that I discovered that outside the huge bubble that surrounded the Murloc Island, there was another huge bubble with a diameter of nearly several hundred meters, and there was a distance of nearly a hundred meters between the two.If there is no channel, it will be difficult to get to the top through the thick bubble layer.

·
King Neptune came under the iron ring, stretched out his hand and pressed an inconspicuous red button on it, "It's me."

·
'This voice is... His Majesty the King? ?We're going down the tunnel right now! ! ', not long after the sound disappeared, you can see that the bubble on the Dragon Palace City suddenly stretched out a bubble wrapped in a large amount of sea water and connected to the bubble on the Fishman Island, forming a passage that can travel between the two places .

·
"By the way, I forgot to give this to you." King Neptune took out two small pink corals from his beard, and threw them to Luffy and Nami.

·
"What is this?" Luffy looked suspiciously at the small coral that was the size of a palm in his hand.

·
Kemi explained with a smile: "This is Bubble Coral, a tool that can easily make bubbles~"

·
King Neptune also reminded lightly: "Because the castle is almost full of sea water, you should wear bubbles well."

·
Luffy pressed hard on the head of the coral, and a gradually larger bubble appeared at the bottom of the coral.Nami also pressed the coral, and the enlarged bubbles merged together to cover all the people sitting on Mekaro's back.

·
"It's really convenient~" Usopp looked slightly surprised at the bubble that covered them all together in a few seconds.

·
"Okay, let's go~", Neptune took the lead to pass through the layer of bubbles first, and sat on the back of the black whale Hall to swim upstream along the waterway.

·
Mekaro also went upstream at a speed not inferior to it, and the people on his back cheered excitedly at the extremely fast speed.But Kemi, who was not in their queue, hugged Pappagu tightly, and said nervously with cold sweat on his face: "What should I do...Papagu..."

·
The voice of Papagu, whose face was covered with cold sweat, became depressed due to tension, and he froze there and said bravely: "The man who was...invited into Dragon Palace City...my brand benefits have increased again..."

·
Brooke, who was sitting on the side, couldn't help reminding with shame, "Your face is distorted..."
