One Piece: Six Styles of the Emperor

In the Crystal Hall of the Dragon Palace.

When he saw Empress Otohime, the feeling of being seen through her heart made Zoren unnaturally tighten his body, his eyes showed vigilance, and he suddenly stopped moving forward and followed closely behind her. Papagu couldn't help but bumped his head on his foot.

As if aware of the strong resistance and resistance in Zoron's heart, Otohime showed a surprised look on her face, and then explained in an apologetic and warm voice, "Don't be nervous, I am born with the ability to see and hear, and I can read people's minds. , the inadvertent temptation just now was not malicious."

"That's good, I don't like others to peek at me." Zoron said indifferently, his tense body slowed down a little, but his vigilance remained.

The gentle and gentle mermaid in front of me, who seems to have a combat power of five, actually has the innate ability to see through the heart. This is simply incredible. If Zoren hadn't noticed this in advance due to his extraordinary physical acumen just now, I'm afraid all the secrets in his heart would have been exposed until now.

Zoran is personally not very fond of this ability, and even a little disgusted and disgusted.

"Ahem...King Neptune, Queen Otohime, good noon." Seeing that the atmosphere was not right, Papagu cleared his throat, stepped forward quickly, and said hello first, "I am Mushu Papagu, Island The designer and president of the popular clothing brand ‘Prisoner Brand’.”

"Mr. Mushu-Papagu, why did you come to the Dragon Palace with Mr. Zoron?" Otohime asked curiously.

Papagu raised his sunglasses and grinned in a matter-of-fact manner, "Because I am now Boss Zollon's number one younger brother."

"Hoo ho ho ho." After hearing this, King Neptune, who had always been silent and serious, suddenly burst out into a burst of unique laughter. He squinted at Zoron and said, "You are the Monkey that even Shi Ping praised highly. -Zorun, right! You really have you, and even Papagu, who is famous in Fish-Man Island, has been restored as a younger brother, and you have a little bit of my demeanor as a great knight of the sea."

"It's okay." Zoron's face remained calm, but he couldn't help but twitch his lips secretly. This mermaid king seemed to be a little different from what he imagined. There was a big discrepancy.

"Jinbei has basically told me about you. As Tiger's human friend in the outside world, when you come to Fish-Man Island, you should be a distinguished guest that we entertain with a feast." King Neptune smiled.

Zoran didn't say anything about his words, and he used the identity of the friend who had never met the mermaid Tiger to at least avoid the trouble of his own identity and situation.

"Unfortunately, I don't have any news about Tiger now. Maybe he entered the new world for adventure." Zoron answered cautiously while evading, "As for the banquet, it's not necessary. I have other things to do outside. So prepare to leave Fish-Man Island in the afternoon."

King Neptune sighed regretfully, "Is that so? That's really a pity. The banquet at the Dragon Palace was very grand and rich."

"The king sent two princes to Mermaid Street to invite me to the Dragon Palace. Isn't it just for the banquet?" Zoron asked straight to the point.

"That's right." King Neptune nodded, looked at Queen Otohime beside him, and grinned, "After Otohime and I heard about you, we wanted to see you. Because she is pregnant now. For this reason, it is difficult to leave the Dragon Palace easily, so I asked Shark Star to specially invite you into the palace."

"Queen Otohime wants to see me?" Zoron looked at Otohime in surprise. If you observe carefully, you can see that the long skirt cannot hide the semi-circular arc of her lower abdomen. She is obviously close to the stage of labor.

In this situation, Otohime even proposed to meet the guests, which made him confused about his intention.

"Mr. Zoren." Otohime spoke politely, not being scornful because of Zoren's youth, and said warmly, "Jinbei said that you are an adventurer who has traveled all over the world, so you must have seen and heard a lot of humanistic customs and deeds. I have something I have been thinking about this matter for a long time, and I hope I can get some inspiration from you."

"Please tell me," Zoren said.

Otohime asked, "What do you think of the current situation on Fishman Island?"

"What's the situation on Fish-Man Island..."

Zoren pondered for a moment, but before he could answer, Otohime reminded him gently, "There is no need to put too much burden on him, just say it."

"Then I'll say it." Zoron shrugged and said simply, "With all due respect, the current situation on your Fish-Man Island can only be described as 'walking on thin ice'."

"Walking on thin ice?"

Otohime looked confused at this idiom from another world, and Papagu even murmured in confusion: "The bottom of Fish-Man Island is not ice, but submarine rocks."

"Yes. This is a word from my hometown. It means that it is like a person walking on thin ice. The ice breaks easily, and if you are not careful, you will fall into the abyss below." Zoron explained softly, "Fishman Island, located in The junction of the first half of the Grand Line and the second half of the New World has been invaded by outside humans, especially pirates, in recent decades. I don’t need to tell you that you should be very clear about this.”

"It has been more than six years since the public execution of Roger, the Pirate King. It is now nearly the seventh year of the great pirate era. The deterrent and binding force on pirates from the world government and navy has become increasingly weak. For the sake of the treasures of the new world, pirates are constantly emerging. The new pirate group is coming like a crucian carp crossing the river! Of course your Fish-Man Island will bear the brunt, what is this but walking on thin ice?"

"In addition, the mermaid race and the mermaid race have had a long-standing stalemate in their relationship with humans. Although the murloc island is one of the participating countries of the World Government, it seems to have forgotten your murloc kingdom in these years and has not made any suggestions. The willingness to cooperate and communicate is also to leave the problem of racial discrimination to the weak you to deal with, and now it has entered a vicious cycle. What is this if not walking on thin ice?!"

Zoron's calm words were like a bayonet, dissecting the facts bloody, leaving King Neptune and Queen Otohime completely speechless.

After a long silence, Otohime stroked her belly and said with a pale face, "You are right, the current situation of Fishman Island is like walking on thin ice."

Then, she shook her hand vigorously: "So, my plan must be implemented in advance, otherwise it will be too late."

"Otohime, are you still unwilling to give up on that plan?" King Neptune sighed.

Otohime said stubbornly, "In order to eliminate mutual racial discrimination and get closer to and understand humans, I must push the residents of Fishman Island to sign a petition to move to land, and strive to submit it in time for the next world conference."

In just a short moment, he understood what she wanted to do. Zoron shook his head and said, "To achieve this, you still have a crucial prerequisite that you have not met."
