After retiring from the Navy, I became a doting husband.

“Get out of my way,” Neptune shouted.

"His Majesty!"

"It's Your Majesty!"

"His Majesty has arrived!"

The guards called out and consciously moved aside.

Neptune walked through the passage, came to the bubble wrap, and prepared to crash headfirst into it.

"Your Majesty, what are you doing? This is too dangerous!" the soldier shouted.

"I am the king of the Fishman Kingdom, and I am going out to guard Fishman Island."

Neptune said with a smile.

Neptune finished speaking and was about to step out of the bubble membrane, but as he took a step, his body was pushed back, and a wall-like flat panel rushed directly into the main entrance.

The guards and Neptune were immediately panicked. Was it too late? Was Fishman Island doomed?

Just then, the flat panel opened like a door, and several young people walked out one after another.

What was going on? Neptune and the guards were dumbfounded.

Martin was also dumbfounded. He had just arrived on the island when King Neptune of the Fishman Kingdom was waiting for him at the door.

"You, hello!"

Martin greeted him awkwardly.

Upon hearing Martin's greeting, Neptune scratched his head and replied, "Hello!"

"I want to find something on Fishman Island, but I don't know what procedures are involved."

Martin didn't believe that Neptune would come here specifically to wait for him, and since no one knew when he would arrive at Fishman Island, he asked.

Neptune didn't immediately recognize Martin and his group, but he was certain that the people in front of him were not pirates, as pirates never knew these things.

"You want to find something among the fish-men? Are you sure you're not here to cause trouble? Do you want to destroy our island?"

Neptune glanced at Martin and said.

Hearing Neptune say this, Martin finally understood why Neptune was there; it turned out he was afraid that Martin would destroy Fishman Island.

Thinking of this, Martin smiled: "I promise, I'm not here to cause trouble."

"In the name of my emperor."

“Now that the matter is resolved, I will return to Dragon Palace. You will proceed with their entry procedures as normal,” Neptune ordered the guards.

"It's His Majesty the King!"

Martin entered the territory of Fishman Island.

Indeed, he had been searching for the remains of Hades for the past few years and finally found Fishman Island.

According to historical records and inscriptions, Hades should be silent here.

Just as Neptune was about to leave, the Sea King's army arrived, as did Jinbe, and a large group of people surged toward the main gate of Fishman Island.

“Your Majesty, this Mr. Martin is my friend. Please allow him to pass.”

Jinbe immediately stepped forward and made a suggestion.

In fact, he only met Martin once.

Calling someone a friend is just a way of trying to get close to them.

“Since he’s Jinbe’s friend, we’ll skip the immigration check,” Neptune said, turning to the guard.

"Yes, Your Majesty, we understand!"

"I wonder if it's convenient for everyone? I'd like to host a banquet for Mr. Martin at the Dragon King's Palace as a way of showing my hospitality to him."

Neptune carried on his queen's will and tried to ease the conflict between fish and humans, but with little success. The sudden appearance of Martin made him feel that this was an opportunity to improve the fish's view of humans.

After all, he is still one of the Five Emperors!

"Since you've extended such a warm invitation, we'd be honored to accept. I'd also like to try the food from Fishman Island."

Martin replied with a smile.

The awkward situation became unusually friendly because of Jinbe's appearance.

Jinbe squeezed in at that moment and shouted to Neptune, "Your Majesty!"

"It's Jinbe, what brings you here?" Neptune was still very grateful to Jinbe.

Jinbe not only became a Shichibukai, but Fishman Island also became his territory, deterring the World Government and the Navy from interfering. He also stationed himself in Fishman Town for a long time, which greatly improved the security of Fishman Island. Pirates no longer dared to burn, kill, plunder, or kidnap mermaids and fishmen at will on the island.

“I just heard the news, so I rushed over to check. Thankfully, everything is alright now. That’s great. Mr. Martin is a reasonable and strong man.”

Jinbe crossed his arms and said to Neptune.

“Yes, it was a false alarm. I’m heading back to the palace for a banquet now. Would you like to come along?” Neptune said again.

"No, Your Majesty, I need to return to Fishman Street. Things haven't been peaceful lately; I have a feeling something's about to happen."

Jinbe shook his head, then turned to Martin and said, "Lord Martin, it's been a long time!"

Martin nodded and said, "Jinbe, it's been a long time."

"Thank you for showing mercy last time, otherwise I might not have become a Shichibukai," Jinbe said respectfully, using the understanding of a fish-man.

He had already guessed what Martin had done to Aaron. Thinking of this, Jinbe still felt lingering fear. If Martin hadn't shown mercy, he might have been executed on the spot.

Upon hearing Jinbe's words, Martin replied apologetically, "Jinbe, you're too kind."

Jinbe felt more and more that Martin was someone he could befriend. Unlike other humans, Martin wasn't like that. So he asked, "Since you're attending the King's banquet, I won't bother you any longer. Come visit Fishman Town sometime, and I'll treat you well."

As Fishman Street is an important part of Fishman Island, Martin had long planned to go there to see for himself, so he readily agreed.

"Definitely, definitely. I'll need your help when we go to Fishman Street."

Upon hearing that Martin had accepted his invitation, Jinbe turned and left. Fishman Town was becoming increasingly unstable, and he needed to hurry back to guard it.

"Your Majesty, Your Majesty, could you please wait for us next time? It's dangerous for you to come out alone like this," the Left Minister said, leading the Sea King's army around Neptune.

"I understand, Minister Zuo. The situation was urgent and concerned the life or death of Fishman Island, so I was a little anxious. I won't do it again next time."

Neptune said awkwardly, "Although I am the king, I have no airs at all."

"Oh, by the way, let me introduce you. This is Martin, the benefactor of Fishman Island. He rescued many of our compatriots. I'm just about to take him to the palace to give him a proper welcome."

Neptune pointed at Martin and said.

"Hello, I am the Left Minister of the Fishman Kingdom. Thank you for saving our people."

The Left Minister first introduced himself, and then shouted.

"You're too kind. His Majesty the King has already expressed his gratitude."

Martin returned the greeting.

“Now that we’ve met, Minister of the Left, you may take Lord Martin back to the palace. I’ll go ahead and return to the kingdom to prepare for the banquet.” Neptune said, mounting Hoai to head back.

"Your Majesty, you just promised me you wouldn't act alone."

Upon hearing Neptune's words, the Left Minister immediately put on a stern face and said...

"Okay! Okay! Let's go back together,"

Neptune said helplessly that he actually didn't like riding in the king's private carriage.

With the Aquaman army leading the way, Neptune rode in a phoenix-tailed carriage adorned with seashells and bubbles, while Martin and his crew were placed on Hoy's back.

A large group of people marched towards the Dragon Palace, and the mermen along the way stopped to bow to Neptune.

Everyone was very curious about Martin. It was surprising that a human had visited and that His Majesty the Kingdom had personally greeted him. They wondered what his identity was.

However, there were a few mermen in the crowd who glared at Martin with menacing eyes, and after watching for a while, they left.

Soon Neptune led Martin and his group to the Dragon Palace.

The Dragon Palace is located on the sunlit top of Fishman Island. It is a large, luxurious palace built from large coral reefs, seashells, and other building materials. It is the royal base of Fishman Island, where a giant dragon resides.

Looking at the magnificent palace complex, Martin exclaimed in various expressions of admiration.

Martin's exclamations of praise filled the Sea King soldiers guarding both sides with immense pride. They stood even straighter, their steps even more synchronized, and a sense of self-satisfaction welled up within them.

When Martin stopped outside the Dragon Palace, a group of giant flounders swam out of the city, each covered in large bubbles.

Martin, who had watched the anime, knew that these flounders were responsible for transporting guests into the Dragon Palace.

Wow, it really feels like I've entered an underwater dragon palace!

I wonder if I'll ever get to meet the beautiful Shirahoshi.

I've heard that Shirahoshi is the most beautiful woman among the fish-men.

If possible, I can farm a Zanpakuto myself!

Chapter 194 You want to find shit?

"Guests, please board the flounder. The flounder will then escort you to the Dragon Palace."

The Left Minister walked over and spoke to Martin.

The bubbles of the flounder and Hoai began to touch, and soon the two bubbles merged together.

Martin watched as the two bubbles closed up, then stepped into the flounder's bubble and sat down in its place.

Sitting on the back of a flounder, you can travel between the palaces of the Dragon Palace, which are unlike any other buildings on land, and the sight is breathtaking.

After wandering through the palace complex for a while, Flounder led Martin to a giant building that was noticeably different from the others because it was surrounded by a large bubble.

The flounder came to the bubble, turned upside down, and poured its tail into the bubble.

"Guest, we've arrived at the banquet hall." The Left Minister said, standing up and leading Martin down from the flounder.

Following the flounder's tail, they passed the bubble connection and slowly entered the enormous building.

Stepping inside the building, the view suddenly opened up, revealing an interior much larger than a football field. When Martin and his group entered, the building was already packed with people.

Beautiful music has begun to play, and several mermaids are dancing gracefully. The stage in the center of the building is divided into two parts.
