The walking dragon son

Chapter 695 Leisure Tour
As everyone knows, this island is the territory of the Kingdom of Ryugu, and the king who governs this country is Neptune, who has the title of Great Knight of the Sea.

Guarding the entrance were two seahorse mermaid soldiers from the Dragon Palace Kingdom. When they saw the group swimming over, they crossed their spears and blocked the entrance.

"Who are you?"

Ciel stopped and said, "We are Fairy Tail and would like to go sightseeing on Fishman Island. Do we need to go through any procedures?"

The two guards looked at each other, then removed their crossed weapons and said, "Please wait a moment. We will ask for instructions."

As he said this, the guard took out a Den Den Mushi wrapped in a bubble and sent a message.

After the guard's report, a panicked voice was heard from the Den Den Mushi, and then someone was heard saying that someone would come to pick them up soon.

Looking at this situation, Ciel could roughly guess the current situation of Fishman Island.

Fishman Island is located in the deep sea 10,000 meters below, and can be said to be completely isolated from the marine world.

This protected the fishmen and mermen from harm by unscrupulous human traders and pirates, but it also separated them from the outside world.

After all, no matter how powerful the news bird is, it can't deliver the newspaper 10,000 meters below the sea.

Therefore, the residents of Fishman Island knew very little about the world above the sea. Even though Fairy Tail was already quite famous on the sea, the guards at the door did not react when they heard the group announce their identities.

But the people on the other end of Den Den Mushi were obviously different. The top leaders of the Ryugu Kingdom had definitely always been paying attention to the ocean, so when they heard that the visitor was from Fairy Tail, they immediately took it seriously.

Ciel was wondering who the visitor would be. Given his relationship with Whitebeard, it was very likely that he would meet Neptune, who was also an old friend of Whitebeard.

It is said that this Sea Knight was not a believer in the coexistence of humans and fishmen. Although he did not hate humans as much as the evil dragon and Hody Jones, he also believed that coexistence was just a dream of his ancestors that had been destroyed and could never be realized.

It was only after Princess Otohime passed away that Neptune inherited his wife's dream and has been working hard for the coexistence of humans and fish-men.

Although he himself did not think that it would be possible to achieve it, he still endured the grief and hatred of losing his lover and worked towards a goal. One can imagine Neptune's confusion and entanglement.

Charles really wanted to meet this man and have a drink with him. Maybe his behavior was a bit silly, but Charles still admired his strength.

Charles and the others didn't have to wait long before they saw a group of people rushing towards them.

But to Charles' disappointment, the leader was not Neptune, but a chubby old catfish mermaid.

He wore a top hat, a single-rimmed glass on his left eye, and held a bull-horn cane in his right hand. He looked like a high-ranking left minister of the Dragon Palace Kingdom.

When the left minister saw Charles and his party, he immediately came over and said, "Your distinguished guests have come from afar. It is really rude of us not to be prepared to welcome you!"

Charles felt a little embarrassed by the politeness of the Left Minister, and said quickly: "No, we came unexpectedly!"

The left minister made a gesture to lead the way and said, "I am so sorry, His Majesty Neptune went to inspect Fishman Island without informing us. The three princes have already gone to find him, so he cannot come to greet you.

Everyone, please follow me, we will go to Ryugu Castle and wait for His Majesty Neptune to return."

Ciel also remembered that Neptune did have this hobby, but he did not accept the suggestion of the left minister. Instead, he said, "In this case, we will go to Ryugu Castle later. We have finally come to Fishman Island, so let's go around first."

The Left Minister hesitated for a moment, then said: "Well, let me be your guide." Charles raised his eyebrows. Although the Left Minister was very polite, it was obvious that he was afraid that the group would cause trouble on the island, so he was on guard.

But if you think about it carefully, the people of Ryugu Kingdom don't understand me either, and my friendship with Whitebeard alone is not enough to make them trust me.

This is much better than their attitude towards the Straw Hat Pirates in the original plot.

Besides, Charles had no intention of doing anything, so he ignored this little matter and nodded in agreement with the Left Minister's proposal.

So the group followed Minister Zuo into Fishman Island and began their sightseeing trip.

The buildings on Fishman Island are quite distinctive, mostly made of shells of varying sizes and decorated with seaweed and corals.

Everyone looked around curiously, whether it was the special buildings or the various fishmen, everyone was dazzled. Minister Zuo also did his best as an excellent guide, introducing many things unique to Fishman Island to everyone.

"This is Coral Hill, the most prosperous port town in our Ryugu Kingdom. There are a variety of facilities such as shops and restaurants here. Do you want to take a look?"

Perhaps it was because Charles and others did not show any threat along the way, so the Left Minister also relaxed his guard.

Charles looked back at everyone and said, "Everyone can go and see what they are interested in! Then we will gather at the square we just passed by."

Everyone responded and headed towards their own previously chosen goals.

Stella, Erza and Lucy had already discussed where to go. When Minister Zuo introduced them, he mentioned that there was a very famous fashion designer on Fishman Island, so they decided to go to the clothing store to do some shopping.

Of course, Charles would not go shopping with the girls, that would definitely be asking for trouble, so he said to Minister Zuo: "I heard that there is a famous mermaid cafe here, could you take me there to have a look?"

Of course, Minister Zuo would not refuse, and brought Charles to the mermaid cafe somewhere in Coral Hill.

Charles pushed open the door and walked in. As a famous store in Fishman Island, it was quite lively inside.

Charles found an empty seat and sat down, and the Minister of the Left also sat opposite Charles.

A mermaid waiter wearing a swimsuit and a bubble ring around her waist swam over and handed over the menu.

Minister Zuo took it skillfully and ordered food. It was obvious that he was a regular here.

Coral Hill is the place where the Ryugu Kingdom has the most contact with the outside world. Merchants and pirates from the outside world will stop here and purchase supplies.

Therefore, neither the customers nor the staff of the Mermaid Cafe showed much concern for Ciel, a human customer.

Soon, the mermaid waiters brought up the dishes ordered by Minister Zuo.

Mermaids are different from mermen in that they do not eat fish or meat, so the food served in the Mermaid Café is mostly desserts or food made from kelp or shellfish.

The dishes here are indeed unique, but the dessert gave Charles a big surprise.

No wonder in the original plot, after losing the protection of the Whitebeard Pirates, BIGMOM wanted to mark Fishman Island as his own territory. It was because he had his eyes on the desserts on this island.
