Who told him to become the Pirate King!

Chapter 413 Bai Xing, open the door, Daddy!

King Neptune jerked his head back, staring at the pirate emperor before him with a strange and inexplicable look.

Weren't we just talking about history, the future, and the Pirate Emperor?

How did the topic suddenly veer towards his beloved daughter?

King Neptune gripped his trident tightly once more.

"White Dragon Emperor! What—what do you intend to do to my White Star!?"

Storm looked at King Neptune, whose attitude had suddenly hardened again, and was a little confused, but still explained.

"Princess Shirahoshi, she must be the mermaid princess of this generation, right?"

Storm thought for a moment, then added.

"I mean, the mermaid princess who awakened the power of the ancient weapon [Poseidon]."

King Neptune's strange feelings vanished instantly upon hearing Storm's words.

"You, you—" The Great Knight of the Sea stared at the White Dragon Emperor in utter shock, "How did you know about this...?"

"In the Sky Island—well, perhaps in the historical records of Fishman Island, it should be called 'Golden City Shandora'."

"Stromb said calmly."

"Among the ancient ruins of the golden city of Shandora, there lies a stone tablet inscribed with the name of [Poseidon, the Sea King]."

The ancient historical texts containing information on abilities and locations.

Is this the Pirate King of this generation?

This is the ultimate secret that Fishman Island has guarded for hundreds of years!

King Neptune's heart continued to slide into the abyss.

"White Star, My White Star—"

King Neptune took a deep breath, then looked at Storm with unwavering resolve.

"I will absolutely not allow Shirahoshi to be harmed in the slightest!"

Why would I hurt Princess Shirahoshi?

Storm tilted his head, looking at the other person with a puzzled expression.

"I just want to gain Princess Shirahoshi's support—to gain the power of [Poseidon]."

"To give a somewhat inappropriate example, it's like how Joey Boy gained the support of the Little Mermaid of that generation eight or nine hundred years ago."

How do you even know about this?!

King Neptune opened his mouth wide, his eyes bulged out, and his tongue bounced like waves.

"No! You—."

King Neptune shook his head violently a few times.

He recalled Roger's "prophecy" and Mrs. Shirley's "prophecy".

According to the prophecy, the new Joey Boy, carrying the historical mission of eight hundred years, will reappear on the sea.

The White Dragon King learned the true identity of Poseidon, the Sea King.

The White Dragon Emperor possessed information from three—no, four—road sign Poneglyphs.

The White Dragon Emperor himself is still a top-tier pirate emperor in the New World.

It seems that the White Dragon Emperor is only one final step away from completely reaching the summit—

King Neptune came to a conclusion.

"Your Majesty the White Dragon Emperor, could it be that you are 'Joey Boy'?!"

"no!"

Storm dismissed King Neptune's guess without hesitation, staring speechlessly at the merman king before him.

"Don't compare me to 'Joey Boy'! I really dislike that piece of trash right now."

Waste, scrap?

King Neptune stared at the White Dragon King, speechless.

My Pirate Emperor, do you want to listen to what you're saying?

That's Joey Boy!

The legendary liberation fighter, the Sun God Nika, who brought joy to countless people.

Is this kind of person a piece of trash?

"In short, I am determined to have Princess Shirahoshi."

Storm unilaterally ended the discussion about Joey Boy, stating bluntly.

"In my eyes, Princess Shirahoshi's importance surpasses that of Fishman Island!"

"King Neptune, you don't want Fishman Island to be destroyed either, do you?"

This familiar tone immediately calmed King Neptune's previously flustered mood.

That's right—

This is what a pirate emperor should say.

"Please, please follow me."

King Neptune wiped the cold sweat from his forehead and bent down, gesturing for someone to lead the way.

"The place where Shirahoshi now lives is the Hard-Shelled Tower."

"There's no need for that."

Storm stretched out his right hand, and white clay flew out like chains, grabbing King Neptune directly.

With a gentle wave of his right hand, the white clay carried King Neptune directly onto the back of the Blue-Eyes White Dragon.

It only took a few flaps of its wings.

Storm and King Neptune then arrived at the Hardshell Tower.

Upon arriving at the Hard Shell Tower, King Neptune's gaze toward Storm became considerably more peculiar.

This pirate emperor not only knows the location of the ancient Poneglyphs, but also knows where Shirahoshi lives.

Whether it's the Poneglyphs or the White Star.

The White Dragon King could have simply taken it, but he insisted on negotiating with King Neptune.

"The White Dragon Emperor is so polite!"

King Neptune breathed a slight sigh of relief as he prepared to step forward and open the door to the Hard Shell Tower.

But just then...

Storm suddenly stopped him.

"Wait a minute."

"What's wrong?"

Storm turned his head to look at the empty deep sea behind him, his eyes narrowing slightly.

"A little toy flew over from over there."

"Small toys?"

King Neptune was taken aback at first, then his face flushed red instantly.

"It's that bastard Vander Deikun again!"

Storm glanced at King Neptune, fully understanding his furious father.

When Princess Shirahoshi was six years old.

Because Princess Otohime was nearly shot by Donquixote Musgard, a Celestial Dragon who had been stranded on Fish-Man Island, Princess Shirahoshi unexpectedly awakened the power of Poseidon, the Sea King, and unconsciously summoned a large number of colossal Sea Kings.

This scene was witnessed by Vander Deiken IX.

The Vander family, starting with Vander Deikun I, came to Fishman Island in an attempt to find and master the power of the legendary ancient weapon, Poseidon.

But it wasn't until Vander Decken IX that he truly confirmed the identity of [Poseidon]—the mermaid princess of this generation, Shirahoshi!

After confirming Princess Shirahoshi's true identity, Vander Decken IX developed an intense and possessive desire for her.

From the time Princess Shirahoshi was six years old, Vander Decken IX had been constantly harassing the mermaid princess.

He wants to obtain the power of Poseidon by marrying a wife.

Storm immediately identified it as a toad perched on a swan's webbed feet.

It's both annoying and disgusting.

This is Vander Deiken IX.

A gigantic iron axe flew out of the deep sea, as if it were equipped with a sight, and flew straight toward the Hard Shell Tower where Princess Shirahoshi lived.

When King Neptune saw the "flying iron axe," his face, which had been flushed with anger, turned black again.

Vander Decken IX's pursuit of Princess Shirahoshi also increased day by day over time.

It started with love letters, then packages, and then threatening marriage proposals.

It has evolved to the point where it has become a weapon!

Princess Shirahoshi was forced to hide in the Hard Shell Tower.

How could King Neptune not be angry?

Storm reached out and caught the "flying iron axe" as easily as catching a snowflake falling into his palm.

King Neptune looked at the White Dragon King who had made the move and said earnestly,

"Your Majesty the White Dragon Emperor, please—"

"No need for such formalities, King Neptune."

Storm weighed the iron axe in his hand, a faint red light flashing in his eyes.

"Since I'm going to see Princess Shirahoshi, let me give her a small 'greeting gift'!"

Storm's Observation Haki locked onto the aura hidden in the far distance, and then he threw the throwing axe in his hand into the distance.

With Storm's power, the iron axe transformed into a streak of silver light in mid-air; the heat generated by the high-speed friction ignited the silver light.

The "flying iron axe" transformed directly into a raging "flying fireball".

King Neptune's gaze was fixed firmly on the "flying fireball".

"The White Dragon Emperor?"

"Let the axe fly a little longer."

Storm had barely finished speaking.

The "flying fireball" went directly to its final destination: an ancient sailboat hidden in the deep sea.

The Flying Dutchman!

boom!!!

The iron axe blasted into the hull of the flying Dutchman like a cannonball, triggering a massive chain of explosions.

In the explosion, both the Flying Dutchman and the fishmen hidden inside the ship were wiped out in one blow.

Several large trophies appeared before Storm's eyes, the highest quality of which was only a silver trophy.

[Silver Trophy: Vander Deiken IX]

[Tournament Star Rating: ★★★]

This is a three-star trophy of death, which foreshadowed the final fate of Vander Deiken IX.

Just as Storm had predicted, Vander Deiken IX was a complete waste.

Although this fish-man possessed the power of the Paramecia-type Target-Target Fruit—which, according to Vander Decken IX, was "a family curse"—

However, the Paramecia-type Target-Target Fruit is also a useless fruit.

You must "touch" it before you can "mark" it and "aim".

So here's the question.

Since you can touch the target beforehand, why not just kill the person directly?

Anyway, Storm was indifferent to that Paramecia-type Target-Target Fruit.

It's nowhere near as useful as the [Paw-Paw Fruit]!

"The minor issue has been resolved."

Storm put away the trophies and looked at King Neptune.

"Let's go see Princess Shirahoshi."

"Huh? Oh—."

King Neptune was taken aback, then nodded subconsciously.

Although he is the king of the Dragon Palace Kingdom.

However, King Neptune's Observation Haki level is not as good as his wife's.

嗯·

Although Queen Otohime's Observation Haki is top-notch even by the standards of the entire ocean.

But King Neptune had indeed found absolutely nothing.

He only saw the White Dragon Emperor throw the axe.

Is that the solution?

King Neptune planned to send someone over there to check on the situation later.

But now, he still brought the White Dragon Emperor with him to the front of the Hard Shell Tower.

"Shirahoshi, open the door, Daddy."
