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

Even after shrinking, a pair of still enormous melons, a pair of plump and slender legs, and a house shape resembling a freshly steamed white bun were displayed openly in front of Chen Yong'an.

She's showing off her current human state, just like a child showing off a new toy to their friends.

As Bai Xing staggered along, a pair of luxurious, enormous melons swayed from side to side and tumbled up and down, creating a series of turbulent waves.

Even Chen Yong'an, who was used to "big scenes", couldn't help but widen his eyes.

This is just too much.

Then, what greeted Chen Yong'an was Bai Xing's inability to use her legs properly, causing her to fall flat on her face.

Chen Yong'an suddenly realized something, instinctively protecting Mona in his arms and raising his hand to shield Bai Xing.

There was no terrifying impact force of several tons as imagined; instead, she had a normal weight, just like any other girl.

And its enormous size cannot be covered by one hand.

Clearly, Shirahoshi's original weight also decreased as her body size decreased.

The wonder of Devil Fruits.

"Hmm~"

Bai Xing frowned slightly, and made a pleasant sound as Chen Yong'an controlled her.

"Are you alright? Why were you so reckless?"

"I'm sorry, Lord Chen Yong'an," Bai Xing quickly apologized, "I got too excited, I'm so sorry..."

"You're the one who needs to apologize. You were so reckless; it would have been bad if you had accidentally fallen."

"Oh," Bai Xing looked down at Chen Yong'an's huge hand holding her, and couldn't help but blush a little, and began to have some strange thoughts.

Chen Yong'an could clearly feel a different kind of softness in his palm.

"What are you thinking? You still say you're not a bad kid?"

"No," Bai Xing lowered her head, not daring to look at Chen Yong'an, "Lady Angela said this is perfectly normal behavior..."

"Is that so?" Chen Yong'an squeezed it a few times, making the giant object change shape in his hands, gradually giving Bai Xing the same feeling as he had during the day in the Sea Forest.

Having gained two legs, Shirahoshi subconsciously rubbed them together.

The pursuit of happiness is something we always learn instinctively.

Chen Yong'an chuckled, moved away from Mona, and bit the stem of another empty, luxurious fruit, sucking on it with his lips, tongue, and teeth.

To bring more joy to Shirahoshi.

Bai Xing reached out and hugged the back of Chen Yong'an's head, eager to feel more.

At the same time, Shirahoshi also sensed something unusual through her legs.

"What is this? How come there's a moray eel in the room?"

As she spoke, Shirahoshi reached into the thin blanket to grab the eel that made her uncomfortable.

But it couldn't be pulled apart; the eel seemed to be connected to Chen Yong'an.

She subconsciously cast a curious glance at Chen Yong'an.

"This is not a moray eel, but you can treat it as one, since it has similar characteristics to moray eels."

"Then what is this...?"

Before she could finish speaking, Shirahoshi remembered the teachings her court tutor had given her.

—Human males, fish-men males, and some special merman males have an extra special organ in their body structure compared to ordinary male mermen.

Upon realizing this, Shirahoshi was stunned and didn't know what to do.

Chen Yong'an didn't care about all that. Since things had come to this point, he might as well take advantage of the fact that the effects of Compound No. 5 hadn't worn off yet, and bring Bai Xing's plump legs together to enjoy the delicate and tender attack from the mermaid princess's legs.

Chapter 468: Mermaid Kemi

The next morning, Bai Xing ignored Chen Yong'an's greeting, walked straight past him, and muttered a harmless "big bad guy" that would only make people feel cute.

—The intimate encounter last night left the mermaid princess quite shocked, making it difficult for her to face Chen Yong'an with a normal mindset.

Chen Yong'an didn't pay any attention, just chuckled twice, and then went to the restaurant with the others to enjoy the Dragon Palace City breakfast.

Neptune was also present, but compared to his radiant appearance yesterday, his eyes were noticeably red and swollen today, and he looked more tired. Even his orange beard had a few more strands of white hair.

The shattering of his illusions, the futile efforts and sacrifices, made Neptune seem to age ten years overnight.

Fortunately, they didn't follow the path that hastened the destruction of the Dragon Palace Kingdom, and everything can still be salvaged.

Shirahoshi was a little worried when she saw her father like this, but Neptune brushed it off with an excuse and she tried her best to return to her cheerful self from yesterday.

After breakfast, Shirahoshi went shopping on Mermaid Island at D.VA's invitation, accompanied by Marie Rose, Mona, and others.

Besides Chen Yong'an, 2B, and Angel.

"Yong'an, shall we go back to the ship together?"

“Okay,” Chen Yong’an pinched Angel’s round, fleshy buttocks from an angle where no one could see. The equipment and materials for manufacturing Compound No. 5 were all on the ship, as agreed last night.

The fifth compound of the Human-Human Fruit has negligible side effects on humans and mermaids, but currently only the pill form is available, which cannot last for a very long time.

It has to be made into a blood pack like the Superman series that requires continuous injection.

Only in this way can Bai Xing maintain a normal human form for a long time.

The angel gave Chen Yong'an a reproachful look but said nothing.

Then the two groups boarded the phoenix-tail boat and the fish bus arranged by the Dragon Palace and left the Dragon Palace one after the other.

After everyone left, Neptune, who had been thinking all night, summoned the three princes and a group of ministers from the Dragon Palace Kingdom for a closed-door meeting.

To decide the future of the fish-men and the mermaids.

Fishman Island Port.

Lexington, who remained on the ship, leisurely sipped his morning tea on the deck while watching the bustling people at the dock.

Auxiliary Machine B: "Miss Lexington, these are freshly fried potato wedges, be careful they're hot."

"Thank you."

Auxiliary Machine B: "You're welcome. It's my pleasure to serve you."

So Lexington gained a new snack to accompany its black tea: crispy and fragrant potato wedges.

"Woooo..."

Several rapid, muffled groans came from behind. Lexington looked over and saw that a treasure chest on the pile of goods on the nearby pier had been pushed open, revealing a pair of human eyes.

"I'm warning you not to talk nonsense," the owner of the treasure chest, a fishman who didn't look very bright, closed the chest and gave Lexington a fierce warning.

"As a human, you don't need to risk your life for mermaids."

Auxiliary Machine B: "Based on the other party's behavior, I guessed wrong. He should be a human trafficker who smuggled himself into Fishman Island to capture mermaids and sell them for huge profits - young female mermaids can easily be sold for more than 70 million Berries in the slave market."

"Good that you understand," the human trafficker looked around. Capturing mermaids on Fishman Island was a serious crime, and it would be troublesome if the soldiers found out.

Lexington shook her head. She knew that Chen Yong'an would definitely not ignore this situation, but there was really nothing she could do to help.

We can only turn our attention to auxiliary machine B.

"Please wait a moment..."

The human trafficker, a mermaid, didn't understand what the metal box meant by "please wait a moment." He only knew that his kidnapping of the mermaid had been discovered, and it was best to leave this place of trouble immediately.

Thinking this, he immediately picked up the treasure chest containing the mermaid and prepared to leave.

But there's no escaping it now.

Intuition told the fishmonger to look up, and he saw a fierce flying kick descend from the sky, embedding him in the pier.

"Thank you for saving me from human traffickers!"

The beautiful mermaid with short green hair and a crimson fishtail bowed to Chen Yong'an in gratitude, saying, "If it weren't for you, I probably would have been sold into slavery."

"Just doing it on the spur of the moment," Chen Yong'an said, looking at the green-haired mermaid in front of him and the pink starfish beside her. He felt a sense of familiarity about them.

“Oh right, I haven’t introduced myself yet,” the mermaid said with a hearty smile. “My name is Kemi, and this is my pet and my master, Papagu. He’s a starfish.”

Sure enough it was her!

Kemi, a mermaid who has been eaten by sea monsters more than twenty times and captured by human traffickers more than thirty times, is known as the Queen of Confusion, and her pet Papagu!

"Do starfish have five senses?" 2B asked curiously. "I remember starfish only have one mouth, right? They're creatures that spit out their stomachs when they eat, wrap up their food, and digest it?"

"Yes!" Kemi exclaimed in astonishment, "How can a starfish have facial features?!"

“I think it’s because I thought I was a human when I was little,” Papagu said, crossing his arms like a human. “When I came to my senses and realized I was just a starfish, I had facial features that no other starfish had, and I learned human language.”

This is about "momentum"—momentum is important no matter where you are!

This is me! A fledgling designer, Papagu the starfish! Thank you for your help!

“The clothes you’re wearing were designed by Papagu,” Kemi said, pointing to Chen Yong’an’s clothes. “【Prisoner Brand】clothing is the most popular clothing brand on Fishman Island right now, and my dream is to become a clothing designer like that.”

Lexington rested his chin on his hand, watching the intriguing master and apprentice pair with curiosity, and asked, "So Papagu is your master? And what's the meaning of 'pet'?"

“I asked Kemi to raise me,” Papagu explained, “because Kemi often fed me oysters, and the oysters from Mermaid Bay are the best.”

"He's both a master and a pet, what a strange relationship."

"Oh, by the way, as a thank you gift, let's treat you to oysters~" Cammy invited warmly. "I'm currently working at a mermaid café in Coral Hill, which has the most delicious oyster dishes on the entire Fishman Island."

"The most delicious oyster dish? As good as the one in Dragon Palace?" Chen Yong'an asked.

"Fool! The Dragon Palace City has the best chefs in the Dragon Palace Kingdom. How can you compare to the Dragon Palace City chefs? If I could eat a bite of Dragon Palace City's oyster dish, I would have no regrets in this life!"

As it spoke, Papago revealed a longing expression; clearly, delicious oyster dishes held a fatal attraction for it, a starfish.

After all, it's a starfish that's willing to be someone else's pet just for the sake of delicious oysters.

"Let's not go then, since we just came from the Dragon Palace. But we should still go to the Mermaid Cafe and have a couple of coffees."

"Don't lie to me. A place like the Dragon Palace isn't somewhere an ordinary person could... Wait, your face... could it be the legendary Sun God??"

"Yes, my name is Chen Yong'an, it's nice to meet you."

Chen Yong'an's admission left Kemi and Papagu, this strange master and apprentice pair, speechless and even trembling with fear.

He was saved by a big shot who frequently appears in the newspapers and is a prominent figure on Fishman Island these days, a big shot that even the World Government dares not offend!

If I said that, I could brag about it for the rest of my life!

Chapter 469: Mermaid Cafe

At first, both Kemi and Papagu were very easygoing and simply regarded Chen Yong'an as an ordinary human who had goodwill towards mermaids.

But after learning Chen Yong'an's identity, they inevitably became nervous and reserved, afraid of offending him unintentionally.

After the angel finished preparing Compound No. 5 in the shape of a human-human fruit blood pack, on the way to the Mermaid Cafe on the fish bus, Chen Yong'an spoke to Kemi and Papagu, who were sitting in the aisle seats next to him:

"Relax, I don't look that scary, do I?"

Kemi chuckled and scratched his face, saying, "Although you don't look scary, you are, after all, the legendary one..."

"That's right. No matter what, you are someone who can stand on equal footing with the Four Emperors. It's inevitable that you would feel nervous."

"Do most people think I'm just on par with the Four Emperors?" Chen Yong'an said with some disappointment. "I thought I would be a little bit stronger than the Four Emperors... not in terms of personal strength, but in terms of influence and the spirit that can be passed down."

"Yes, yes," Papago quickly corrected himself, realizing he had misspoke, "How can a Yonko, a pirate, compare to you? Your radiance is dazzling even at the depths of the ocean."

Chen Yong'an smiled and reached out to pinch Papagu's cheek. He understood that his current status was an insurmountable mountain in front of ordinary people like Kemi and Papagu.

It's the kind of relationship that's hard to maintain a normal attitude towards anymore.

"If it's convenient, let's talk about how the ordinary people of Fishman Island view me now, whether it's good or bad."

Kemi and Papagu exchanged a glance, and finally Kemi spoke first: "You are a very popular person in the Mermaid Cafe where I work."

"Very popular? How so?"

"They would chat about how handsome and amazing you are, cut out and collect your photos from newspapers, buy magazines related to you, and put your posters on the dormitory walls, etc."

"This is a very normal fan behavior. It seems that Miss Mermaid here has a good impression of me," Chen Yong'an said, expressing his understanding. After all, when he was in school, he would also put up posters of famous singers and athletes and buy related merchandise.

"Well, it's just that after you arrived at Fishman Island yesterday, some people were worried that you might harm Fishman Island, sob sob sob..."

Before Kemi could finish speaking, Papagu, realizing what Kemi was about to say, covered her mouth.

“They’re afraid I’ll start a war against Fishman Island,” Chen Yong’an added to what Cammy hadn’t finished saying. “For example, if I elope with Shirahoshi, Neptune, who dotes on his daughter, will be furious and attack me, and then I’ll use that as an excuse to start a war against Fishman Island.”
