Sailing at Sea: The Breath of the Day at the Start

Page 166

"Father, if this news is true... what that traveler Ron did was move an island higher than the top of the Red Line! If he can do something like that, then what about moving Fishman Island to the surface of the sea?! Isn't that also possible?"

Neptune was taken aback by what he heard, then his eyes widened slightly, and his heart was instantly filled with turmoil.

"Your Highness, what are you talking about?" The Left Minister was confused. "What do you mean by moving Fishman Island to the surface of the sea?"

The Right Minister suddenly remembered a possibility, his pupils contracted sharply, and he looked at Shark Star with a trembling voice: "Could it be... Your Highness, are you talking about Lady Otohime's dream?!"

Upon hearing his words, the Left Minister turned to look at Shark Star and Neptune, his face turning deathly pale.

"No, it can't be... isn't that just a distant dream?"

"It was just a dream before, but now I see hope."

Shark Star looked at Neptune with a determined expression and said, "Father, I wish to invite that traveler Ron to a banquet at the Dragon Palace!"

After thinking for a moment, Neptune looked at him and said, "Whether this is possible or not, it's always good for Fishman Island to be on good terms with him. I'll go with you."

"Big, big king..."

The two ministers wanted to say something more.

Neptune looked at them and raised his hand, saying, "No need to say anything more, you all go and prepare the banquet immediately."

"……Yes."

…………

After Ron and his companions finished exploring the Sea Forest, they came out.

When we got to the vicinity of Kuala Lumpur Kaut Plaza.

Golden light shone from above.

The fishmen and mermaids in the square looked up and were all shocked when they saw Neptune and Shark Star flying in on whales.

"Why, why would this gentleman come here to swim in the sea?!"

"This is the first time I've ever seen this..."

"Your Majesty, and Prince Shark Star!"

Amidst the utterly astonished gazes of the surrounding fishmen and mermaids, King Neptune of the Dragon Palace Kingdom and his eldest prince, Shark Star, flew in front of Ron and his group.

"Could it be... that His Majesty the King and Prince Shark Star came specifically for those humans?"

What shocked the surrounding mermaids and fishmen even more was Neptune's next words.

He spoke to the black-haired youth among the humans who had his eyes closed, as if he were blind, and said, "You must be the traveler Ron, right?"

From the sounds around him, Ron already knew who was in front of him.

He looked up at Neptune and asked, "King of the Dragon Palace Kingdom, what business do you have with me?"

"Indeed, there is something I would like to trouble Lord Ron with. I have prepared a banquet in the Dragon Palace. I wonder if you and your companions are free to visit the Dragon Palace?"

"!!!"

Hearing Neptune's words, the eyes of the fishmen and mermaids around them almost popped out of their sockets, and their jaws almost hit the ground.

This esteemed person personally descended upon the palace, only to invite a few humans to the Dragon Palace?!

The fishmen and mermaids around them stared at Ron and his companions in utter shock.

Who exactly are these humans?!

Ron was slightly surprised by Neptune's words, not expecting that the Dragon King had come to invite him as a guest.

I have something I'd like to ask you... um...

After thinking for a moment, he turned to the women beside him and asked, "What do you think? Do you want to go to the Dragon Palace?"

Kuina replied nonchalantly, "Whatever."

Robin nodded: "If I'm visiting, I'd really like to go and see."

"I want to go too."

Connie laughed.

"What a fluffy beard..."

Xiao Qi looked at Neptune's big beard and said.

"It seems most of my companions agree, so let's go."

With his eyes closed, Ron faced Neptune and said, "We have a companion resting at our lodgings. Would you mind waiting for us a while?"

"Of course I don't mind."

Shark Star immediately said.

Ron nodded, then led Robin and the others toward Fishford Manor, leaving Neptune and Shark Star there to wait.

This scene deeply shocked the surrounding fish-men and mermaids.

"To think that lord and Prince Shark Star could both be waiting here together..."

"This is such a huge amount of face..."

"Can anyone tell me who those humans are?"

"Could it be that... that guy is..."

A human pirate who had just arrived on Fishman Island stared in the direction where Ron and the others had left, his eyes trembling violently and his heart pounding.

"Ron, the traveler!"

A bead of cold sweat trickled down the forehead of the pirate captain beside him, who had a bounty of 80 million Berries.

"Wait, why is this guy on Fishman Island...?"

"And weren't all his companions killed by Tyrant Bear? Why...?"

As a group of human pirates who had only recently arrived at Fishman Island, they had heard about the major event that shocked the sea, caused by Ron, before they even set sail.

The culprit who attacked Mary Geoise and Marineford, causing the great storms of the sea, has appeared unharmed on this Fish-Man Island, along with his supposedly dead companions!

A pirate next to the captain swallowed hard, his voice filled with shock: "Is he planning to enter the New World through Fishman Island...?"

Upon hearing his words, the other pirates were all deeply shaken.

Could it be... that a fifth emperor is truly about to emerge on the high seas?!

After calling Bonney, Ron and his group followed Neptune to the upper level of the Dragon Palace. Meanwhile, on Fishman Island below, the matter continued to escalate and expand, and Ron and his companions' identities were exposed by the human pirates.

With a bounty of 1.34 billion Berries, Ron the Traveler, who attacked the Holy Land Mary Geoise and Marineford, the Marine Headquarters, quickly gained fame on Fish-Man Island.

Upon learning that the handsome, gentle-looking, blind black-haired boy was actually a notorious criminal with a bounty exceeding one billion, all the fish-men and mermaids on Fishman Island who had come into contact with him were stunned and incredulous.

The starfish owner who sold his mansion to Ron for 35 million Berries was even more terrified.

That seemingly wealthy and generous blind boy... was he actually such a terrifying villain?!

I actually accepted his money, and at a higher price than usual...

The starfish shop owner became increasingly frightened as he thought about it.

"That money...wouldn't it be better to return it?"

……

146, "Nice to meet you, Lord Ron..." (Two parts combined)

Dragon Palace is far more magnificent and splendid than Fishman Manor. Compared to it, Fishman Manor, the most upscale place on Fishman Island below, is really nothing.

When Ron and the others followed Neptune into the Dragon Palace's grand and luxurious palace, a banquet had already been set up in the enormous banquet hall.

A shell-shaped stage is set up in the center of the banquet hall for the fish-man singers and musicians to perform.

"This is the Dragon Palace of Fishman Island, and it is indeed as magnificent as described in the books."

Robin looked around and exclaimed in admiration.

Connie cupped her hands in front of her, her eyes sparkling: "It's really luxurious. This is my first time in a place like this."

Bonnie, who was feeling unwell and listless because of what happened last night, suddenly brightened up when she saw the seemingly glowing delicacies from the Dragon Palace on the table, and instantly returned to her usual self.

"Today, Lord Ron and all of you are honored guests of our Dragon Palace, so please don't stand on ceremony."

The eldest prince, Shark Star, addressed the group and invited them to take their seats.

After Ron and the others were seated, the banquet officially began.

Inside the luxurious banquet hall, besides Ron and his entourage, there was only King Neptune, the eldest prince Sharkstar, and two ministers on either side.

After taking a bite of the food in front of her, Connie couldn't help but exclaim, "Delicious!"

Robin nodded after taking a sip of the delicious soup: "As expected of the cuisine of the Dragon Palace."

Bonnie and Seven were already enjoying their meal, quickly piling up plates and dishes on their respective tables.

"Hehehe, it's so great that your tastes match mine."

Neptune stroked his beard and chuckled.

With his eyes closed, Ron picked up the wine glass on the table and took a sip.
