Click! The sound of the golden trident hitting the ground was particularly loud, and the palm holding the trident did not have the fishman's iconic fish webs. The person in the entire Mermaid Island who can hold this golden trident, which symbolizes the power of the Poseidon, is naturally the current ruler of the Mermaid Island - the coelacanth and the mermaid Poseidon Neptune.
"Your HighnessI really cannot be convinced by your words right away"
The words seemed to have been carefully considered, but the veins on Neptune's forehead that had swollen due to his mood swings were clearly visible, and a cold smile flashed across the lavender eyes of Renault who stood under him.
The blue sky full of sunlight may be a common sight for people on land, but for the islanders of Mermaid Island who live at the bottom of the deep sea all year round and can only rely on the refraction of light from the seabed, it is an attraction that attracts them regardless of the danger. One of the important reasons for coming to land.
"To think like this means that you are a prudent and outstanding monarch" Renault's smile and words were full of warmth, but there was no trace of warmth in his purple pupils from beginning to end.
"I believe you will make the best and most correct choice in the end Therefore, can you allow me to disturb you for a few days?"
Raising his head, Neptune shook his head towards Fkaposhi, who was standing nervously next to him: "Prepare the best room and entertainment for His Highness the Prince"
After Renault and Fukaposhi completely disappeared from Neptune's sight, Neptune, who was still sitting quietly, breathed a sigh of relief and spoke again.
"how do you feel?"
With these words, cracks slowly appeared on an ice sculpture on the steps of Neptune's throne. As the cracks continued to expand, a human arm suddenly came out of it. The arm pushed away the rest of the ice wall, and the master's voice came out from it without any haste.
"This is a scamReynold will not personally do anything for Fish-Man Island, and the Holy O'Hara Empire does not need to deliberately pursue the alliance of any country"
The last piece of ice covering his eyes slipped away, and the speaker opened his golden pupils and looked directly at Neptune from above.
"This is one of the things I know about them"
With long pure white hair reaching his waist, claw-like tattoos on his cheeks, and golden eyes with wild beastly pupils, this man was the one who froze Casa in the Soap Bubble Islands and intercepted the Holy Arc. Urlotan, the second prince of Hara, pursued Luffy and his party, the fifth Duke of the former Holy O'Hara Empire,?.
Why he appeared here is obviously no longer important. The only thing that is certain is the conversation between Renault and Neptune just now. The former Duke, who did not hesitate to freeze himself, was present from beginning to end.
However, Neptune's trust in him was obviously not enough. He stared closely at him, and Neptune slowly spoke: "Really? You have already stated that you are a defector from the Holy O'Hara Empire. In this case, how can I believe that your words are not deliberately fabricated to undermine the possible diplomatic relations between our Mermaid Island and the Holy O'Hara Empire?"
This too sharp remark brought about a long period of silence, and after the period of silence between both parties, the standing person finally turned around and seemed to be planning to leave.
"IndeedI am speechlessAfter all, the final choice is in your hands"
Shaking his head gently, his figure disappeared again at the entrance of the hall, leaving Neptune sitting alone on the throne with his eyebrows furrowed.
The trap, before it is completely exposed and triggered, can anyone see it clearly? Except, those who make traps.

"So I say! This is a serious violation of human rights!" A woman's roar, with a temperature of no less than 90 degrees, came from the second floor of Mermaid Coffee, and it seemed to have the flavor of righteous words.
The person who made this sound was Nami, who was standing in front of madam Xia Li with her hands on her hips. After Nami aggressively broke into Madam Charlie's office with Luffy and others, Nami began to criticize Madam Charlie. During this period, Madam Charlie, the proprietress of the Mermaid Cafe, showed her In addition to her excellent demeanor, she looked at Nami with great interest, pointing at her nose and preaching righteously, as if she was trying to figure out something.
"To sum up! You must immediately tear up the unequal treaty you signed with them in private!" Nami slammed the table and stared closely at Madam Charlie in front of her: "And! You must compensate for the mental damages. !§
Taking a leisurely puff of the hookah in her hand, madam. Charlie held her chin with her free hand and looked ambiguously at Nami, who was looking up at her because of the size difference: " Oh, yes?? Yes, this style reminds me of myself when I was young"
Before Nami, who had her eyes wide open, could speak again, Madam Xia Li gently waved her hand to signal her to keep quiet. After that, Madam Xia Li swam down from her seat and swam in front of Nami.
"Indeed I know you are all famous pirates However, your cuteness still surprises me" Madam seemed very happy. Charlie bent her black eyes: "Well I am the proprietress of this Mermaid Coffee. The average monthly profit of this coffee shop is between 6 million berries and 8 million berries It will increase during the peak period "
As if talking about these insignificant things, Madam Xia Li's unhurried attitude remained the same: "If you can continue to work in this store, I can promise you you can share the profit every month." Give you one-sixth, and no matter what the monthly profit is"
At this point, madam. Xia Li's eyes narrowed slightly: "How about it? Little girl, as long as you are willing to help, the higher the monthly profit of this store, the more rewards you can get "
Silence
Gritting her teeth, Nami, who lowered her head, raised her head again to look at Madam. Charlie, who was looking down at her, with a bright smile on her lips: "You think you can make me promise you by using such means? Do you want Luffy and the others to continue working at your place?"
"Um?"
"one third!"
"No, one fifth"
"That's a quarter! Here is a rare human maid under the sea!"
"I recognize your value, but at most I can only give you one-fifth of the remuneration price"
※Ah, it*s better to be more cheerful! The price is one-fifth and eighty-eighth!§
""
Looking at Nami who was constantly raising the price with Madam Charlie, Usopp, whose face was full of black lines next to him, also twitched the corners of his mouth. She seemed to feel that her facial nerves were also a little stiff.
"Sure enough, I am so moved by what this woman said just now that I am really a super idiot!"
"Totally sold"

In the depths of Fishman Street, Hody Jones, who was walking crookedly like a puppet, seemed to have finally reached the spot. His whole body fell straight to the ground, making a sound like rotten leather hitting the wall.
Several threads reflecting dark red light extended from his body, all the way to the corner that was not illuminated by the light at all.
? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? There was a slight sound of interlacing threads, and the source was the palm that stretched out of the shadow. The fair and smooth skin seems to be carved from the best ivory, and the bright red kodan on the nails seems to be the source of those red threads. As the owner flicks his fingers casually, the red threads connected to Hody Jones's body The threads intertwined with each other and made a harsh sound.
Sitting quietly in the shadow, the woman's pupils cast a strange red color in the shadow, like a source of blood.
"I found it, interesting food"
A chilling voice came out of the woman's slightly curled lips. Sitting on the stacked corpses of several fishmen, the woman's other free hand was also raised, and a dark red silk thread suddenly emerged from her The fingertips flew out and landed directly on the remaining mermaid corpses. Then, the murloc corpses suddenly bounced a few times, and then slowly stood up, like puppets being manipulated.
"Then, let's have an interesting puppet show before the big mealah hehe hehe"
