A few hours ago, Fishman Island, Mermaid Bay.
A few cute mermaids found a sealed wooden barrel and were very curious, so they took a crowbar and other tools to pry it open.
When the lid of the wooden barrel was just lifted, a gloomy voice came from inside: "Phew ~ This is enough ~"
The mermaid with the crowbar was so scared that she sat directly on the ground: "What? Is there someone inside? "
Sure enough, a sloppily dressed man with a deceitful face came out from inside.
"Ah!"
"Quickly go to the pool!"
The mermaids screamed and turned to run, but it was too late.
"Ha, it's too late, thank you, Miss Mermaid!"
The man excitedly opened his arms, and a swamp appeared on the ground.
"Wow! My body sank! "
"Swamp? Why is there a swamp on the rock? "
The more the mermaids struggled, the deeper their bodies sank.
This man was Carib, who was nailed to the barrel by Franky on the Sunny Ship.
When he was released, he directly launched the ability of the "Swamp Fruit" on the mermaids.
"Swamps and quagmires can't be broken free. I'm sorry to tell you that I'm an ability user. Don't yell at me, or I'll kill you!"
Carib looked at them evilly.
"Someone …"
A mermaid who had sunk half of her body was just about to cry out, but her mouth was blocked by a lump of mud.
"Didn't I tell you not to make a sound? You idiot! "
The mermaids sank deeper and deeper, and eventually were completely swallowed by the swamp.
Carib sat on a rock and happily calculated: "A mermaid at the auction house is worth 70 million Berries, these added together are … Hee hee, this is thanks to the straw hat and the demon sword!"
Back to the present.
Coral Hill.
A small team of Fishman Guards came over and asked the nearby Fishmen about the situation.
"The straw hat gang, did they kidnap the mermaid girl?" The captain of the Fishman Guards said.
A mermaid defended: "No, no, they are good people. What's more, they are Keimi's friends."
Captain: "Maybe Keimi was threatened by them."
The mermaid said, "No … It's not …"
The captain continued, "At the time, the guards, the mermaids, and the straw hats were at the scene."
The soldier next to him added, "Humans have a reason to kidnap mermaids at any time, because in the world above, young mermaids can be sold for a high price!"
The mermaid said, "Even so, it's still baseless suspicions …"
Murloc soldier: "Think about it, so far, how many pirates have pretended to be kind and approached the mermaid, only to be taken away in the end!"
Bali New City at night.
Luffy and the others were riding the princess's pet shark, Mezaro, towards the Dragon Palace.
"Don't fall! Ho Ho Ho Ho! "King Neptune, who was sitting on his pet whale Hoai, reminded everyone.
Luffy spoke without thinking, "What are you doing, Uncle? Your shouting sounds so silly!"
Papagu was shocked. "Shut up! Straw hat! What a rude fellow! I'm really scared of you! "
King Neptune didn't care about Luffy's rudeness at all. "Ho ho ho, this shark is called Mezaro. It's my daughter's favorite pet! At that time, she thought Mezaro wouldn't come back and cried a mess. At that time, I was really at my wit's end. I didn't expect to be chased by a giant north sea monster. Thank you for saving it! "
Papagu gently stroked Mezaro. "Is this Her Highness' pet?"
At this time, Brook suddenly said, "Hey? Brother Papagu, you said before that you were a friend of the Mermaid Princess. "
Hearing this, Papagu turned pale with fright and hurriedly made a "shh" gesture to Brook.
Brook broke out in a cold sweat. "So it was a lie."
Because Neptune said that he was inviting the straw hats, Keimi seemed a little shy. "I … Can I go to the Dragon Palace too?"
Usopp smiled. "He said he could bring his friends, so it's okay, right?"
Neptune said, "Actually, I just sent the kids to greet you, but they didn't come back after waiting for a long time, so I went out myself! I'm also looking forward to the banquet starting soon! By the way, one of your swordsman companions has already entered the city. "
Usopp: "Hey? Is it Tsenki or Sauron? "
Neptune scratched his head. "His name seems to be … Sauron!"
Usopp broke out in a cold sweat. "Is it Sauron?"
Neptune: "Anyway, the soldiers will soon find your companions and come to the city. Don't worry!"
Luffy: "Nami, did you see where they went?"
Nami: "Franky said he went to find Mr. Tom's relatives. Robin went to find some important history … Everyone is moving separately."
Luffy: "Didn't you see Tsenki?"
Nami: "No, you didn't see him either?"
Usopp said, "No. By the way, where did that guy go? Even Zoro went to the Dragon Palace. Did that guy get lost?"
Luffy: "Don't worry about him. That guy is very strong."
Nami turned around and said to Neptune: "By the way, uncle!"
Papagu slapped the back of her head. "It's Poseidon! His Majesty Neptune! Bastard! "
Nami: "This is ten thousand meters under the sea. Why is the Fishmen Island the only bright place?"
Neptune laughed and said, "It's not that the Fishmen Island is bright. It's the only place in the world where light can be seen. Fishmen have settled here since a long time ago, and that's how the Fishmen Island was formed."
Then the king explained why there was light here.
There was a tree called the Sun Tree Adam at the bottom of the sea. It could transmit sunlight from the ground directly to the bottom of the sea, and its roots grew here.
Nami was amazed. "Sunlight? So this tree has roots that are more than ten thousand meters long? "
Neptune continued, "That's right. Although the scholars can talk about a lot of principles, this is indeed a mysterious tree that can transmit sunlight from the ground to its roots. And its roots can also transmit air directly to the bottom of the sea."
Luffy put his hand between his eyebrows and looked at the thick towering tree. He couldn't help but exclaim, "This is just like the Vigor Mangrove in the Sabaody Archipelago!"
As they talked, they arrived at the Dragon Palace.
The scene in front of them made everyone's eyes light up.
It was hundreds of meters in the shape of an exquisite tower. There was a round plaque on the front door with the word "Dragon" written on it. A lifelike dragon was hovering at the top.
It is truly a magnificent, magnificent, and unparalleled palace! "
There was a huge button on the front door. Neptune pressed it.
"It's me. Open the door!"
"Oh, Your Majesty, you're back …"
