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

As Chen Yong'an and his companions left Dragon Palace with Shirahoshi aboard the Megalodon Mecaro, Neptune, as planned, had the royal army spread the false news that Princess Shirahoshi had eloped with a human man from Dragon Palace, and then pretended to send soldiers to pursue them.

As Megalo the Megalodon carrying its passengers passed through the connecting corridor between Fishman Island and Ryugu Castle, the enormous size of Shirahoshi and Megalo attracted the attention of the townspeople below, causing a commotion.

"This shark, this mermaid as large as King Neptune, could this be Princess Shirahoshi?"

"How could Princess Shirahoshi be here! Shouldn't she be hiding in the Hard Shell Tower? What if she's attacked by that Vander Decken IX?!"

"Could it be that something has happened in the Dragon Palace? I heard that His Highness the Prince led the Sun God to the Dragon Palace... Could it be that they are preparing to launch a war against Fish-Man Island?"

While the fishmen and mermaids were still speculating about why Shirahoshi had suddenly left the Hard Shell Tower, Mecaro slowly descended with everyone on board.

Bai Xing looked at the stunned onlookers, gave a slightly stiff smile, waved his hand, and said, "Good afternoon, everyone~"

"Princess Shirahoshi, how could you leave the Hardshell Tower without even a guard!" a fishman who cared about Shirahoshi shouted. "Go back quickly! It's too dangerous outside!"

"Exactly, what if that bastard Vander Decken IX suddenly throws an axe at us again?"

"I'm sorry everyone," Shirahoshi's eyes darted around, and she scratched her face. "I... I'm leaving Fishman Island today. I... I'll miss you all."

"Leave Fishman Island? Where are you going?"

"I...I want to elope!" Bai Xing mustered her courage and said these words with all her might. Then, without pausing for a moment, she grabbed Mecaro's lips and quickly drove it away from this place of trouble.

A group of onlookers were left staring at each other in bewilderment.

"What Princess Shirahoshi just said was, elope? With whom?"

"You must have misheard, right?"

However, while the onlookers were still discussing whether Bai Xing had misspoke or misheard, the soldiers of the King's Army arrived without warning with a shocking message.

"No, no! Princess Shirahoshi has eloped with a human!"

This news was like a bombshell dropped on Fishman Island, leaving everyone speechless.

The news spread rapidly through various channels.

Chapter 462: Vander Deikun IX

While the bombshell news of "Shirahoshi eloping with a human" was breaking on Fishman Island, the group had already boarded the Megalodon Megalo and entered the fast waterway leading to the Sea Forest.

"Hahaha..." Chen Yong'an, sitting on Bai Xing's shoulders, laughed loudly, "Bai Xing, have you never lied? The way you looked just now, if the King's Army, who were spreading rumors, hadn't appeared in time, I'm afraid no one would have believed you, right?"

Lying and deceiving people is utterly despicable!

The first time she lied, Shirahoshi's hands were still trembling with nervousness. "If they knew I was a liar who could lie at will, I'm afraid there would be no place for me on Fishman Island anymore."

Thinking of this, tears welled up in Bai Xing's eyes again, and they seemed ready to fall at any moment.

"What liar? This is called a scheme. We can't catch bad guys without this, and your father was involved too."

"Hmph, in short, I'm never cooperating with you on bad things again!"

Bai Xing turned her head away angrily, just like an angry little girlfriend.

It's just that this girlfriend is a bit too big.

The group took a quick look at the scenery of Fishman Island via the waterway expressway before leaving the island and re-entering the deep sea at a depth of 10,000 meters.

Located northeast of Fishman Island, the Sea Forest is a sunny spot where many beautiful corals grow, forming a beautiful coral forest.

This has also attracted many schools of fish to settle here, and whales to feed here.

In addition, this place is also where ocean currents converge, and the wreckage of ships that sank in the deep sea is brought here by the ocean currents, hence the nickname "ship graveyard".

“What’s that over there?” Eve pointed to a huge shadow in the distance, about the size of half Fishman Island. “The outline looks like a ship.” “That’s called Noah,” Shirahoshi explained. “It’s an old ship that was never completed and is usually moored near Fishman Town.”

"They actually built such a huge ship in the deep sea? What was its purpose?"

“I think it was to escape,” Mary Rose said. “In Mary’s hometown, there are legends about floods and the construction of Noah’s Ark to carry various races to safety.”

“I have the same thing in my hometown,” Mona agreed. “It seems like everyone’s stories about floods are pretty much the same.”

"Who said that?" Chen Yong'an retorted. "When my hometown faced floods, the first thing we thought about was how to control the flood, not how to escape."

Mona didn't argue with Chen Yong'an, as she always felt that people from Chen Yong'an's hometown liked to go against fate.

Previously in Alabasta, there was a call to action to combat desertification and fight against the gods.

If sea levels rise in the future, it's not impossible to call on people all over the world to manage the floods.

Megalodon, carrying everyone, swam for quite a while in the waterway expressway before finally arriving at their destination.

A sun-drenched, dreamlike coral reef, home to almost every species of fish from around the world.

The place where Princess Otohime, Shirahoshi's mother, is buried.

“Thank you, Lord Chen Yong’an,” Bai Xing carefully lifted Chen Yong’an up, “Thank you for coming here with me.”

“It’s nothing,” Chen Yong’an reached out and touched Bai Xing’s face. “Go on, I think you must have a lot to say to your mother.”

"Okay, then I'll excuse myself for a moment."

Bai Xing put Chen Yong'an down and swam towards Queen Yi Ji's tomb to express her longing for her that had lasted for eight years.

"Although he looks very big, he is still just a child after all."

Mona, feigning maturity, sighed, then looked at the restless Chen Yong'an beside her and said, "I remember Robin asked you to come to the Sea Forest to help her find the Poneglyphs when you pass by Fishman Island, right?"

“Of course I remember,” Chen Yong’an said, his hand still on Mona’s pert little ball. “Great Shark, do you know of any square stones nearby with inscriptions? Can you take my partner there?”

"Shark~"

Mecaro nodded, chose a direction, and swam off.

Eve followed, while the rest of them stayed behind to watch over Shirahoshi, in case of a possible attack.

Fishman Island is populated but not large. News of Shirahoshi's escape from the Hard Shell Tower and her elopement with a human male spread throughout the entire island in no time.

This even includes Fishman Town, which is not far from Fishman Island.

It reached the ears of Vander Decken IX, captain of the Flying Pirates.

"What? Shirahoshi eloped with a human male?" Vander Decken IX grabbed the collar of the fishman who had given him this shocking news. "I absolutely refuse to believe it! We clearly love each other so much (in our own eyes), how could she elope with a human!"

"I'm sorry, but the news is absolutely true," the captured merman stammered nervously, "The Dragon Palace has already dispatched soldiers to hunt him down..."

"I don't believe it!" Vander Decken IX roared, activating his ability and throwing the fish-man dart in his hand towards the direction of the Dragon Palace.

The fishman that was thrown out spun around strangely like a boomerang before flying off in a completely different direction from the Dragon Palace!

Vander Decken IX, a user of the Target-Target Fruit, possesses the ability to throw objects with the precision of throwing darts at anyone he touches.

The thrown object will not stop unless it hits an obstacle; it is an ability that will never make a mistake!

The fishman, who was thrown like a dart, was aiming at Shirahoshi, who was supposed to be in the Hard Shell Tower!

Upon confirming that Shirahoshi had indeed left the Hard Shell Tower, Vander Decken IX's eyes widened in fury, and he roared, "That human must have kidnapped my Shirahoshi! Shirahoshi, don't be afraid, I'm coming to save you right now!"

Blinded by anger and jealousy, Vander Decken IX didn't think much and knocked down a nearby conch house with a single blow. Using Shirahoshi as a target, he threw the conch house away.

He then quickly jumped onto the conch shell house and had it take him to Shirahoshi's side.

"Eight years of suffering in love, nothing but death can separate us... If you fall into another's hands, then die a bloody death! Shirahoshi!!"

In the forest of the sea, Chen Yong'an was lying on a deck chair salvaged from the ruins, leisurely waiting for the big fish to take the bait.

This is a cemetery, a graveyard for ships, perfectly suited to bury scum like Vander Decken IX.

"Something's coming," Mona, who had been watching the seawater closely, suddenly warned. "It's coming for Shirahoshi, a fish-man!"

"Understood," Chen Yong'an picked up the black sword Qiushui that was placed aside, and used the Shave technique to quickly rush towards Shirahoshi, who was still kneeling in front of the tomb of Queen Otohime.

Then, a few seconds later, a black dot rapidly approached and broke through the soap bubble that was separating them from the seawater.

Upon seeing the other party appear, Chen Yong'an rushed forward and kicked him away!

It crashed into a pile of ruins!

Chapter 463: Zoan Type - Human-Human Fruit - Giant Form!

The noise startled Shirahoshi, who was talking to Otohime, and she asked, "Lord Chen Yong'an, what happened?"

“There’s been an attack,” Chen Yong’an said, looking at the fishman he had kicked into the ruins. It was just an ordinary fishman, not Vander Decken IX.

"There's more coming!" Mona shouted a warning.

"I saw it."

Beyond the soap bubble, in the deep sea, a black dot drew closer and closer, gradually revealing its outline—a flying conch shell house.

The roof of the Conch House is the target of this trip: a fish-man with four legs and an exaggerated hairstyle.

Vander Deiken IX!

"I've found you, Shirahoshi!!!" Vander Decken IX's eyes were filled with greed as he looked at Shirahoshi. "Don't be afraid, Shirahoshi! I'll rescue you from him right now, and then we'll marry!!"

When Bai Xing saw the culprit who had kept her hiding in the Hard Shell Tower for eight years, she mustered her courage and shouted, "My elopement with Lord Chen Yong'an was voluntary!"

Besides, you're not my type!

Shirahoshi's direct answer brought Vander Decken IX, who had been deluding himself and engaging in perverse behavior for eight years, to the brink of collapse, making it difficult for him to accept.

When he looked at Bai Xing again, his earlier greed for possession had turned into hatred that wanted to destroy what he couldn't have.

"You vile woman! You ruthlessly shattered my eight years of longing and dreams, choosing to elope with this human I just met... Since that's how it is, I'll grant your wish, you two scoundrels! Die!"

As he spoke, Vander Decken IX pulled out two giant axes and shot straight into the soap bubble like a missile!

"Lord Chen Yong'an..."

"Leave it to me. You close your eyes. I won't let you open them. You absolutely cannot open them," Chen Yong'an crouched down and then vanished from the spot in an instant.

Autumn Water, with its sword sheath still attached, swung down!

broken!

While still in the air, the solid conch shell house was reduced to countless fragments by Chen Yong'an's attack imbued with Armament Haki!

King Van der Deiken IX did not expect Chen Yong'an to move so quickly. Before his giant axes could react, he saw a flash of light from the longsword in Chen Yong'an's hand.

Cut it off!

There was no exaggerated sword energy, no dazzling light effects.

All that remained was a mediocre swing covered in top-tier Armament Haki.

This is a sword strike that returns to its original simplicity.

He cleaved Van der Deiken IX from his right waist to his left shoulder, splitting him in two!

At this moment, Vander Decken IX finally saw clearly who the man who had eloped with Shirahoshi was.

The sun god who prevented the Marineford War, intervened in the battle between Whitebeard and Akainu, and emerged unscathed...

Van der Decken IX, severed in two, fell to the ground without even a scream, utterly dead.

Chen Yong'an fell from mid-air, glanced at Bai Xing who was obedient and had her eyes tightly closed, then grabbed the two halves of Vander Decken IX's corpse and threw them outside the soap bubble, where they were devoured by the fish attracted by the smell of blood.

Mona also helped clean up the bloodstains thoroughly, leaving no trace of Vander Decken IX's presence except for the scattered fragments of the conch shell house.

"Alright, you can open your eyes now."

Shirahoshi's eyelashes trembled slightly as she opened her eyes and looked around, but she didn't find the despicable pirate who had made her hide for eight years.

"And what about Van der Decken IX?"

"After learning that his eight-year pursuit could not compare to love at first sight, he was heartbroken, lost all hope of living, and crawled into the belly of a sea king."

"W-What do you mean by love at first sight? We're just pretending to be lovers!"

Bai Xing blushed and felt shy. She snorted, crossed her arms, and turned her face away, ignoring Chen Yong'an.

Chen Yong'an glanced at Bai Xing's enormous breasts, and continued, "In short, no one will throw axes or swords at you anymore. You can leave the Hard Shell Tower and go shopping on Fishman Island like an ordinary girl."

Of course, you still need to have a bodyguard when you travel; you can't just wander off alone.

"Thank you, Lord Chen Yong'an..."

Large tears streamed down Bai Xing's face, splashing water on the ground. Her voice gradually became choked with sobs, and finally she burst into loud sobs.

The nightmare that lasted for years has finally ended today.

Seeing Bai Xing's reaction, Chen Yong'an thought for a moment, took off his clothes, and put a pre-prepared compound No. 5 into his mouth.

Its size then increased dramatically, reaching a height of twelve or thirteen meters, becoming as enormous as Bai Xing.
