Pirates: My crew is the heroine of the 3D zone

“That’s wonderful!” Nip was so grateful that he burst into tears. “We, the entire royal palace, will never forget your great kindness.”

“No problem. There are ways to arrest Vander Decken IX, but we need your cooperation.”

Upon hearing Chen Yong'an's words, Neptune felt a sense of foreboding.

"I need Princess Shirahoshi to pretend to be my boyfriend and travel together."

Vander Decken IX is a notorious fish-man pirate who has managed to evade capture for years despite being wanted by the Dragon Palace, making him no ordinary villain.

The only way to capture it is to lure it out of its hole.

Vander Decken IX exploits his one-sided infatuation with Shirahoshi and his intense, twisted possessiveness and jealousy, which would rather Shirahoshi die than have her with someone else.

Therefore, the best way is to pretend to be lovers with Shirahoshi, have the royal army spread some rumors, and then lure Vander Decken IX out!

"No way!" Neptune exploded, his chest bulging visibly like a pufferfish.

"Do you know how dangerous it is outside? And I absolutely refuse to accept having Shirahoshi pretend to be your lover!"

"If you're worried about her safety, we'll protect her; you've seen our capabilities. As for whether or not to use my method, I can only say it's up to you. This opportunity won't come again."

Seeing Chen Yong'an's composure, Neptune hesitated for a moment. After all, it was he who asked Chen Yong'an for help, not the other way around.

But the idea of ​​Bai Xing and Chen Yong'an pretending to be a couple is really...

“Father, this is indeed a good idea,” Shark Star advised from the side. “Do you really want White Star to be threatened by that guy Vander Decken IX and hide in the Hard Shell Tower for the rest of her life?”

"But we need Shirahoshi's consent to pretend to be lovers."

Neptune, unwilling to let his daughter suffer such "injustice," practically spat out these words through gritted teeth. He could only pin his hopes on Shiraho, who was afraid of strangers, hoping she would refuse the suggestion of pretending to be her lover and prompt Chen Yong'an to consider other methods.

—Neptune's fatherly intuition told him that Chen Yong'an was far too dangerous!

He's not ready to be a father-in-law yet!

"Then let's not delay, take me to see the legendary mermaid princess," Chen Yong'an said, picking up his juice and downing it in one gulp. "Let's get to know her, so we don't get caught if we don't look like a couple."

"It's just acting! Don't even think about taking this opportunity to kidnap my Shirahoshi!"

Chen Yong'an didn't care; whether or not to abduct someone wasn't up to Neptune to decide.

So, in the latter half of the banquet, after everyone had eaten and drunk their fill, Neptune led them to the Hard Shell Tower where White Star was located.

On the way, Neptune did not forget to remind Chen Yong'an of some precautions, such as not neglecting Bai Xing, not yelling at Bai Xing, and not letting Bai Xing suffer any grievances, etc.

Neptune, the "Great Knight of the Sea," is a complete doting father, even more so than Cobra.

With Neptune's doting affection, it's no wonder that Shirahoshi has a timid and crybaby personality.

Arriving at the heavily fortified tower, riddled with wounds and studded with sharp knives and axes hurled from afar, its doors as solid and heavy as a prison, Neptune, like an old father seeing his daughter off at her wedding, opened the heavy doors with tears streaming down his face and a heavy heart.

Chapter 460: White Star

So big and so beautiful!

This is everyone's first thought upon seeing the mermaid princess, Shirahoshi.

Her curious eyes revealed a delicate and pure beauty that made people want to protect her. Her temperament was noble but not unapproachable. Every scale on her fish tail was as clear as a gemstone, and her whole person seemed to shine with a sparkling light, making people unable to help but be immersed in her beauty.

But she's just too big. She's five or six meters tall even when she's sitting down, making you have to look up at her; she's a truly stunning beauty.

“You actually managed to have such a beautiful daughter,” Mary Rose said, turning to look at Neptune, who was also quite tall, “She doesn’t look like you at all.”

"Insolence!" Neptune was so angry that he puffed out his beard and glared. "I was quite handsome when I was young! And Shirahoshi takes after her mother!"

Bai Xing noticed that Chen Yong'an and his group were clearly human, and asked timidly, "Dad, who are these people?"

“Your human friend,” Chen Yong’an smiled at Bai Xing and extended his hand, “My name is Chen Yong’an. It’s a pleasure to meet you, Princess Bai Xing.”

"I...I'm also very happy to meet you," Bai Xing said with a flattered expression, quickly extending her fingers to touch Chen Yong'an's hand.

"Marie wants some too!" Mary Rose squeezed through the crowd, enthusiastically reaching out to touch White Star's fingers, which were thicker than her thigh.

"You're so big! You're so many times bigger than Mary!"

“A real beauty,” Mona said casually, glancing at Chen Yong’an with a mocking look in her eyes.

—So what if someone has Compound 5 of the Human-Human Fruit? With such a size difference, do you think you can stir up a huge vat with a toothpick?!

Understanding Mona's intentions, Chen Yong'an responded with a sarcastic look.

—Have you forgotten my ability to develop Devil Fruit powers? Giants are human too!

Mona was taken aback, then reached out and punched Chen Yong'an, too lazy to talk to him and waste her breath.

Under Marilyn's enthusiasm, Shirahoshi quickly became familiar with her. She carefully reached out and held Marilyn in her palm, examining her as if she were a delicate doll, even though Marilyn was no bigger than her own hand.

“I think Princess Shirahoshi would be happy to accept us as her new friends,” Chen Yong’an said, looking at Neptune, who was worried about his daughter. “You can go out now. It’s not good for young people to socialize and play. It’s a bit of a hindrance for you as a parent to be there.”

Neptune, looking indignant, said unhappily, "I'm going to stay here and watch you! What if you corrupt my Shirahoshi!"

"Don't worry, Dad," Shirahoshi said with a smile, having gained the trust of her adorable new friends. "I can tell they're all good people, nothing will happen."

Neptune was filled with mixed feelings at the thought of being a nuisance by his daughter, but seeing how happy Shirahoshi was having with her new friend, he didn't want to disturb her too much.

After warning Chen Yong'an not to do anything reckless, he turned around, pushed open the heavy iron gate, and prepared to leave.

However, at this moment, a sudden change occurred, and a giant blade flew in through the crack in the door, spinning!

It rushed straight at Shirahoshi, who was completely unprepared on the bed!

Neptune was so frightened that he almost lost his mind. Just when he thought his precious daughter would be killed on the spot, a figure leaped high into the air and smashed the giant blade to pieces with a single blow!

2B landed smoothly, deftly swung her greatsword once before putting it away, and said, "This axe was thrown by that Vander Decken IX guy? I saw a white rose on it."

“That’s right,” Neptune breathed a heavy sigh of relief, wiping the cold sweat from his forehead. “It’s precisely because of the need to guard against these potentially dangerous axe blades that Shirahoshi needs to stay in the Hard Shell Tower.”

"To throw such a terrifying weapon at someone, is this the right way to pursue someone? This kind of perverted behavior is really too much!" Mai Shiranui was indignant, wishing she could pull Vander Decken IX out like an eel right now and burn him to ashes with flames!

“She seems to be a rather psychologically twisted person,” Ada Wong analyzed. “She destroys what she can’t have.”

"Yes, that's why I thought of using the method of pretending to be lovers to find that guy out."

"What lover?" Bai Xing keenly caught a word she had only seen in books, a rather dreamy term for a girl.

"It's nothing," Chen Yong'an chose to keep quiet, pushed the troublesome Neptune out, and closed the door of the Hard Shell Tower.

"Oh," Shirahoshi didn't pay much attention; she was already immersed in the joy of making human friends.

"Shirahoshi, you've got a giant shark as a pet?"

Mary Rose discovered another presence in the room besides them: a megalodon that was twenty or thirty meters long and wearing a "prisoner's" short-sleeved shirt.

He jumped from Shirahoshi's palm onto the shark's head, tapped its head, and said, "We also have a shark on our ship, but it's inflatable."

"Shark~"

The great shark shook its head, indicating that it was far superior to those inflatable fakes.

"Yes, its name is Mecaro, and it's my good friend."

Shirahoshi reached out and scratched the chin of the great white shark Mecaro, treating it like a pet dog.

Mecaro, like a pet dog, made a comfortable purring sound.

"Oh, right!" Bai Xing suddenly clapped her hands and looked at everyone, "With so many friends here, let's have a tea party!"

Seeing Bai Xing's innocent, childlike expression, the others exchanged glances and agreed.

Then, what awaited everyone was a barrage of three thousand questions, comparable to those of a child.

These are as simple as asking whether you've ever seen the sun, a flower, a furry animal, or a forest.

Her words were filled with the longing of a mermaid who grew up in the deep sea for the land.

Everyone patiently answered Bai Xing's questions one by one, and talked to her about the lush primeval forests, the towering snow-capped mountains, the golden and hot deserts, and other scenes that Bai Xing longed for.

“That’s great,” Shirahoshi said, lying on the bed with her pillow in her arms, wagging her beautiful big tail. “I also want to see jungles, snow-capped mountains, and deserts… but I was locked in the hard-shell tower when I was very young and I can’t go anywhere.”

"Why don't we go for a walk?" Chen Yong'an said, seizing the opportunity. "We'll protect you and make sure you don't get hurt."

"really?"

Bai Xing was overjoyed, but her expression quickly darkened. She said, "Forget it, Dad will definitely not agree, and it will cause trouble for a lot of people..."

“Your father will agree. I’ve already spoken to him. You can walk out of that hard-shell tower openly and honestly. No one will stop you.”

"Really?" Bai Xing asked, still somewhat skeptical.

"Really? So is there anywhere on Fishman Island you'd like to go? We'll go with you."

After hesitating for a moment, Bai Xing finally mustered up her courage and said, "If possible, I'd like to go to the [Sea Forest]!"

"Let's go, let's go for a walk together."

"Yes!" Bai Xing nodded heavily. Just fulfilling such a small wish was enough to move her to tears.

Chapter 461: The Mermaid Princess Who Elopeed

"Don't rush," Chen Yong'an said. "Before we go out, there's something I want to make clear to you."

"What is it?" Bai Xing wiped away the tears of emotion from the corner of her eyes.

"After we get out, I want to take care of that guy Vander Decken IX so you won't be threatened by him anymore and can stop hiding in this hard-shell tower. So I need your cooperation."

"Yes, whatever it is, I will cooperate with Lord Chen Yong'an."

"If you're willing to cooperate, that's fine. I need you and me to pretend to be lovers who have eloped, so that we can lure out Vander Decken IX."

"Elopement?"

Upon hearing this word, Bai Xing, who was just beginning to experience romantic feelings, immediately lost her composure. Her eyes darted around, and her face quickly turned bright red, almost steaming.

"How...how can this be? We've only just met, this is moving way too fast! We should have started by writing letters to each other, we haven't even gone on dates, seen a movie, or even confessed our feelings, how...how can we elope so soon?"

"I'm sorry, but if this is the condition for taking me to the Sea Forest, I still can't accept it... I'd rather not go!"

"I meant impersonation, impersonation!" Chen Yong'an couldn't help but shout, "It's an impersonation to expose Vander Decken IX!"

Chen Yong'an's sudden increase in volume startled Bai Xing, and tears welled up in her eyes and dripped down her cheeks.

Bai Xing turned around, her voice trembling with tears, and said, "You actually yelled at me, sob sob... No one has ever yelled at me like this before... It's too much, I'm sorry, we can't continue dating, let's break up..."

"Shark~~"

Megalodon bared its teeth at Chen Yong'an, standing up for its owner, Bai Xing.

"You got dumped, Captain," Mai Shiranui teased, watching the show. "I never thought you'd fail like this. Is this what they call an old horse stumbling?"

"Instead of watching the show, you should help out," Chen Yong'an said helplessly. "If I had known there would be such a big reaction, I wouldn't have told her about the plan."

"Don't cry, meow," Mary Rose used her power to transform into a cat goddess with fluffy cat ears and a cat tail, and jumped onto Shirahoshi's shoulder, brushing her fluffy tail against her delicate neck.

This unprecedented sensation made Shirahoshi tremble uncontrollably, felt a tingling sensation on her scalp, and even made strange noises.

"Master is just reminding you, not yelling at you. Master is a very gentle person and would never get angry at the people around him for no reason, meow."

Seeing how sensible the little maid was, Chen Yong'an couldn't help but give her a thumbs up.

She absolutely has to be rewarded with a few packets of dried fish.

“You are, Mary?” Bai Xing noticed the black Mary on her shoulder and held her in her hands. “Why did you turn black? And these ears, this tail, is this what they call being furry?”

"This is Mary's power~ She can transform into an adorable cat goddess, isn't that amazing, meow~"

"Amazing," Bai Xing wiped away the tears from her eyes and carefully reached out to touch Blackie's cat tail, feeling the smooth, soft fur brush against her fingertips, as if her whole body was melting.

Furry things are amazing!

"So let's go out together, to the Sea Forest, and while we're at it, we'll find that big bad guy and punish him properly!"

"Yes, find him and teach him a lesson."

The girl's emotions were like the weather in June, changing in an instant. Just a moment ago, Shirahoshi was crying and sobbing, but after being comforted by Mary Rose, she smiled again and put the matter behind her.

But I still have some reservations about things like pretending to be a couple and eloping.

Bai Xing glanced at Chen Yong'an, after all, he had the princely air of someone who would come to the aid of a princess trapped in a castle, which was her type...

However, after seeing Chen Yong'an smile at her, she still snorted and turned her head away.

Its mouth was puffed up like a pufferfish's.

I haven't forgotten about yelling at her earlier!

There was no need to bring so many people with us to the Sea Forest. Besides Chen Yong'an, who was pretending to be Bai Xing's lover, there was Eve, who served as a guard, Mona, who had strong perception, and Mary Rose, who accompanied us.

As for the others, they are free to do as they please, whether they want to rest or go shopping on Fishman Island. The important thing is to travel in groups and not to go out alone.
