One Piece: Invasion of the Heavens

Ryugu Castle is the royal palace of the Ryugu Kingdom, and it has quite the architectural style in fairy tales.

It was here that Shitian accompanied Whitebeard and Neptune in a toast. This time when I got here, my status and mood were completely different.

Riding on a giant flounder with a giant bubble wrap, Shitian and Ace entered the banquet hall of Ryugu City together.

This is the place Neptune uses to entertain foreign visitors. Special corals are planted to produce the same bubbles as those on the Shampoo Islands.

It is precisely because of this kind of coral that the seawater in the banquet hall is drained by the air, making it a place suitable for human survival.

Neptune came forward and said: "Welcome, the new generation of white beard!"

Shi Tian touched the area under his nose and didn't feel like he would grow that distinctive beard. However, Shi Tian was quite happy to hear Neptune call him that.

He is worthy of being the king of a country. This ability to capture people's psychology is really powerful. In short, Shi Tian's dissatisfaction with him was relieved a lot.

The giant flounder pulled Shi Tian and Ace to stop in front of the wine table. Shi Tian started to drool when he looked at the dishes on the table.

As expected of an underwater kingdom, the processing of sea animal meat is completely different from that at sea, giving it a special flavor. And even BIGMOM likes dim sum, Shitian, who hasn’t had it in many years.

While eating, Shi Tian said: "His Majesty the King didn't come to me just to have a meal, right? Now is definitely not the time for a banquet!"

Neptune picked up the wine glass, thought for a while, then put it down and said: "You have already met Tiger, and you must also know the problems that Fish-Man Island is facing now!

It's shameless to say this, but please help us! "

Shitian threw a piece of snack into his mouth and said, "Can you really leave this kind of thing to me? Although you and I are both friends, I am still a pirate after all. In this matter, unless you make changes yourself, Otherwise it will not be fundamentally solved.”

Neptune nodded and said: "I understand this, so I decided to attend the upcoming world conference. I will let the people of Fishman Island see the possibility that Otohime mentioned.

But now time doesn’t allow me to wait until then. If we don’t solve the current problem, there will be no future! "

Shitian held the table and said, "So, how do you plan to ask me, a pirate, to help you?"

Neptune said: "Do you know Vander Deken?"

Shi Tian nodded and said: "I know the legendary captain who threw the crew into the sea and was cursed after offending the gods."

Vander Deken is also a famous legend on the sea. Because it happened in the blank hundred years, many people are very interested in this legend.

But judging from the attitude of the world government, it probably doesn't really matter. Otherwise, the root cause would have been eradicated long ago.

Neptune continued: "One of the issues that bothers me most right now is his descendant Vander Daken IX!"

Shitian didn't understand why Neptune mentioned Vander Deken at first, but he immediately remembered this character who appeared in the original work.

Vander Deken IX has always had the ambition to become the overlord of the deep sea. He claimed to have been cursed by the target, but he was actually a user with the target fruit ability. The ability is to target touched objects and hit accurately no matter what is thrown.

When Shirahoshi was six years old, Vander Daken IX accidentally saw the scene where Shirahoshi's cry attracted the Neptunes. Therefore, he recognized Bai Xing as the ancient weapon Neptune that his ancestors were looking for.

With the same intention as his ancestors to use the mermaid princess to dominate the sea, Vander Deken IX used his power to set White Star as his goal.

At first, King Vanderdeken IX would send love letters to the Dragon Palace Kingdom at most once a week. Later, he changed the letter from a letter to a mail package, and finally it even turned into a threatening marriage proposal.

Neptune once sent his three sons to lead troops to encircle and suppress Vander Daken IX, but unfortunately they failed in the end.

In the end, White Star had to hide in a solid hard-shell tower so as not to be injured by Vander Deken IX.

Although Shitian always thought that there was something unacceptable about Bai Xing. But because of his own ambition, he frightened a little girl and hid in a dark place for ten years. Vander Deken IX could be considered full of evil.

Neptune's face was full of anger and disgust: "He has gone too far recently, and the things he threw on Fish-Man Island have become more and more dangerous! It has caused panic among the people."

Shitian roughly understood what Neptune meant and said with a smile: "So if you want a pirate to be the "hero" who solves the troubles for Fish-Man Island, I have to say that this is indeed a solution."

Neptune also said frankly: "This is also the best way I can think of. Only in this way can we reduce the people's hostility towards human beings until I complete Otohime's dream."

"By the way, you can also deal with a weirdo who has been pestering your daughter, right?" Shitian reminded.

Neptune smiled sheepishly and said: "This is also a reason!"

While the two were discussing, they heard a sudden noise outside.

A fishman ran in and said: "Your Majesty the King, the Straw Hats are making a big fuss in the Mermaid Cafe. Many fishmen have been injured!"

Shitian looked back at Ace, who had already hidden his face in his palms.

It should be said that it is Luffy, it has only been half a day to make such a big noise! But Shitian also felt that something was wrong.

Although Luffy is willful, he will not break out into conflict with the fish-man so quickly. Shi Tian suddenly felt that this was arranged by someone.

Hody Jones took action, this was Shitian's first thought. Otherwise, there is really no way to explain why it is such a coincidence.

No wonder Shi Tian thought too much. After he and Ace went to Fishman Street, they stayed on the island for so long before entering Dragon Palace City. It's impossible for Hody Jones not to know that given his abilities.

If you think about it more deeply, the purpose of Hody Jones's attack on Luffy and his gang was Shiten and Ace.

After the war, the relationship between Ace and Luffy is no longer a secret. Tokiten and Ace even took Luffy's boat to Fish-Man Island.

Therefore, the action against Luffy is likely to involve Tokiten and Ace together. It would be reasonable to say that Tokiten was the mastermind who instigated Luffy to cause trouble on Fish-Man Island.

As for why he targeted the two of them, Shitian looked at the flag of the Whitebeard Pirates flying in the distance outside the window. Maybe that's the reason!

Suddenly, the sound of something breaking came. Then everyone's expressions changed, because seawater actually poured into the banquet hall.

Someone burst the bubble in the banquet hall and wanted to use sea water to weaken or even kill Shitian and Ace directly.

I have to say that this strategy is correct. The reason why fishmen dare to regard humans as inferior creatures is because fishmen have the ability to breathe underwater, and their bodies are naturally able to adapt to the pressure of the deep sea.

The combat effectiveness of human beings underwater will be weakened to the extreme, let alone those with Devil Fruit abilities cursed by the sea.

Fortunately, Shi Tian is not an ordinary person. If his ability is not enough, Shi Tian still has props.

Reiatsu shells, produced by Shiba Kuzaku. The effect is to form a spiritual barrier based on the spiritual pressure input by the person.

God knows why Shiba Kūkaku invented such a prop that allows people to be knocked out by fireworks and cannons. But this is just right for the current time.

Pulling Ace over, Shitian steadily input his spiritual pressure into the ball in his hand. The spherical barrier opened up, blocking out the surging seawater.

"I didn't even look for you, and you came to the door first!" Shi Tian grinned, making Ace on the side feel that the air around him had become colder.
