Vol. 05 Ch. 28 – Love Letter Jamon

Arthur: "Queen Otohime is still alive but her body is still very weak after losing a lot of blood so she needs lots of rest and special attention."

After hearing that the perpetrator of Queen Otohime's shooting was a human, it made everyone who heard Arthur's words disbelieve because of their anger. But it was different from Fukaboshi who was right beside her mother Queen Otohime because she saw that her mother was still alive and breathing even though she was very weak. Fukaboshi still couldn't process everything that happened in front of him, making it too late to calm down the angry and mad peoples.

Fish-Man1: "You must be a comrade of the killer, humans !?"

Fish-Man2: "Get him right away before he attacks Prince Fukaboshi!"

Soldier: "Prince! Immediately get away from those humans, they are dangerous! "

Fukaboshi: "SHUT UP !?" Hearing screams from around him made Fukaboshi aware of the situation and shouted for everyone to be quiet.

Soldier: "Prince Fukaboshi?" Fukaboshi's shout made everyone stunned and even more shocked when they saw Fukaboshi bowing towards Arthur.

Fukaboshi: "Thank you very much for helping the Queen Mother, Arthur-Sama." Not only bowing, Fukaboshi who said thanks to humans, made everyone even more shocked and confused.

Arthur: "You're welcome. Looks like you know me? " Arthur waved his hand intending to make Fukaboshi stop bowing.

Fukaboshi: "The Queen Mother often talks about you and shows us all your photos." Fukaboshi immediately raised his head and answered Arthur's question.

Arthur: "We can have a longer chat later. You better settle this incident. " Arthur turned his gaze towards the soldiers and peoples of the Ryugu Kingdom.

Fukaboshi: "Thank you, Arthur-Sama. Prime Minister! Immediately get a stretcher and take The Queen Mother back to Ryugu Palace to rest! Immediately clean up the rest of this fire! And as for the body of the shooter… take it to Ryugu Palace dungeon! " After thanking Arthur once again, Prince Fukaboshi immediately gave the order to deal with this incident.

Manboshi: "Mother is still alive! Mother is fine, Shirahoshi! "

Ryuboshi: "Hahaha ... Mother won't leave us Shirahoshi, so don't cry anymore." The other two princes burst into tears again but this time it was a happy cry.

Shirahoshi: "Ehm" Shirahosi nods and smiles seeing that everything is fine again.

Prime Minister: "Queen ... Queen Otohime is still alive?" Hearing his prince's words, the prime minister of the Ryugu Kingdom, who was still sad, immediately ran towards Queen Otohime to confirm it.

Soldier: "Is it true that Queen Otohime was saved by this human?" Asked one of the soldiers to his next friend who still surrounded Arthur and pointed their weapons at Arthur.

Prime Minister: "Breathing… Queen Otohime is still alive…! Quickly get the stretcher and immediately bring Queen Otohime to Ryugu Palace. Continue to protect the Queen and the rest of the Royal Family! " Seeing Queen Otohime still breathing with his own two eyes prompted the Prime Minister to act quickly.

Fish-Man: "The Queen is still breathing! Queen Otohime is still alive! " Shouted the Fishman who was not far from the center of the plaza and made everyone immediately cheered.

Fukaboshi: "Arthur-Sama, please come with us to Ryugu Palace. And of course, Arthur-Sama's friends can come too. " Prince Fukaboshi's emotions calmed down and he acted as usual as a prince of the Ryugu Kingdom.

Soldier: "But prince ... they are human ..." The soldiers had not lowered their weapons because they were still afraid and did not believe in Arthur.

Fukaboshi: "Put down your weapons and immediately carry out my orders. Arthur-Sama and his friends are guests of the Ryuggu Kingdom. " Other ART Pirate members also appeared and walked over to Arthur while confused over what had happened.

It didn't take long, the stretcher Prince Fukaboshi asked for came and they were able to bring Queen Otohime back to Ryugu Palace to rest. Seeing their queen still alive made the inhabitants of the Ryugu Kingdom cheer with joy, except for one Fishman. The resident's signature paper had been burned up because no one cared about it when their Queen's life is in danger. The fire was successfully extinguished because there was nothing left to burn so the soldiers could clear the plaza area. The human corpses who were said to be the perpetrators of the shooting also did not forget to bring them to Ryugu Palace dungeon to be examined.

Even though the soldiers were still wary of Arthur and the others, but they could only obey Prince Fukaboshi's orders to lower their weapons. Arthur and the others follow Fukaboshi to go to Ryugu Palace. The rest of the royal family also went together and they didn't forget to thank Arthur for saving their mother's life. It was at this time that Arthur first met Princess Shirahoshi who would become famous as a most beautiful mermaid. The little girl who had a large body looked embarrassed when she first faced and spoke to Arthur. No need a long time, they arrived at Ryugu Palace and were greeted by a giant coelacanth merman who is the king of the Ryugu Kingdom on Fish-Man Island, King of Neptune.

Neptune: "Thank you for saving my wife -Jamon." The king of Ryugu Kingdom first said when he met Arthur.

Arthur: "We are just doing what we could and the best we can, King Neptune." Arthur nodded in acceptance to the king of Neptune's thanks.

Neptune: "I don't know what I would do if my wife died and the culprit was a human." After hearing all the stories that took place in the plaza, King Neptune's feeling was immediately chaotic, but it was all helped because of Arthur.

Arthur: "Everything is past and the most important thing is that Queen Otohime can be saved. And please don't judge humans by the one bad human you meet, because not all humans are like that. Likewise, Fishmen are not always kind and friendly like you, King Neptune. " Arthur didn't want King Neptune to his soul be tormented like the original One Piece story because his anger collided with Queen Otohime's dream.

Prime Minister: "King Neptune, don't let our guests stand at the entrance." King Neptune immediately apologized and invited Arthur and the others to enter Ryugu Palace.

* Swosh ~ *

As everyone walked into Ryugu Palace, there was a letter and a red rose flying towards Shirahoshi. Arthur can already feel the arrival of the letter with his Kenbunshoku Haki but let it be, as well as Hancock, Robin, and Baby-5. Even though the three of them felt it but seeing Arthur not acting made them also silent. Of course, Arthur also knew who the letter came from and how it had flown to Shirahoshi.

The rose which was full of thorns hurt Shirahoshi when it touched her skin. The blood immediately flowed and made the little girl cry. King Neptune and everyone else was in shock, except for Arthur. With Baby-5's power, the wound healed quickly and Shirahoshi stopped crying with the help of her siblings.

Prime Minister: "Immediately protect the royal family! How could this happen?" The prime minister was still scared because they had just finished experiencing the attempted assassination of their queen.

Soldier: "How can a rose fly so far and injure Princess Shirahoshi?" The soldier who saw the rose fly and hurt Shirahoshi of course was confused and astonished.

Neptune: "Thanks again, Arthur." King Neptune was calm because Shirahoshi was not badly injured and was able to recover soon.

Arthur: "It doesn't matter, King Neptune. I just wonder what is in the letter and who does this letter with the rose come from? " Hearing the word letter from Arthur made everyone look at the letter on the floor near Shirahoshi.

Neptune: "Quickly open and read it!" King Neptune thought that he would find out who did this from the letter.

Soldier: "My mermaid princess, Shirahoshi. With this red rose and letter, I want to convey how much I love you. I want to make you my wife. I will continue to send a sign of my love until you answer me. Your true love, Vander Decken IX. " At King Neptune's orders, a soldier read the letter aloud so that all could hear.
