Vol. 02 Ch. 27 – Sweet Dream

Previously …

Arthur: "I'll wait another year or two to start sailing. You are still 14 years old, Robin is 13 years old and Baby-5 the youngest is 9 years old. Do you want me to give your sisters the devil fruits that I have?"

Hancock: "Hm, they don't need your help to be strong."

Robin: "Can you guys not flirting in front of us?"

Hancock: "Who is flirt with this damn lizard?"

Arthur: "Why can't you two get along?"

Hancock + Robin: "Ha? Why do you think? "

Arthur: "Eh?" Arthur knew that they were fighting for his first wife's position and he said whoever won 2 times in a row when they both fought would be his first wife.

Sebas: "Young master Arthur. Tonight, the queen of the Ryugu kingdom Fishman island will come to Mary Geoise and tomorrow she will meet the head of the World Nobles' family."

…

Otohime: "Eh? Do you want to help me get approval from other World Noble families? "

Saint Adam: "It's not difficult as long as you want to be present at my grandchild's 17th birthday party."

------------------- ^_^ -------------------

Otohime who has a variant of the Kenbunshoku Haki where she can feel the emotions of her target, seeing the aura of Saint Adam who has no ill intentions made her agree to join Arthur's birthday party at the Amenome family residence. But she remained vigilant even though she did not see the bad intentions of Saint Adam does not mean so did the other Amenome family members. She arrived at the residence of the Amenome family while approaching lunchtime and she had lunch together with Amenome family members.

Otohime: "Nice to meet you all, my name is Otohime, the queen of the Ryugu kingdom of Fishman island." Answering greetings from Otohime everyone also introduced themselves.

Arthur: "Pleasure is mine, my name is Arthur, Amenome Arthur. I am happy because queen Otohime is willing to attend my 17th birthday party. " Arthur introduced himself after all.

Maria: "At Fishman island must have a dress that can't be found here. Did you bring some clothes from your house? " Maria began the conversation, breaking the ice but received a response from the others with a deep sigh.

Otohime who enjoyed lunch together also did not forget to check the aura that everyone had at the dinner table. She saw that everyone had an aura of happiness and suddenly turned to be a little upset and tired when Maria started talking about the fashion style of Fishman Island. For the time being she didn't get bad intentions from the Amenome family, but she was confused when checking Arthur with her Kenbunshoku Haki abilities.

Arthur: "Is something wrong, queen Otohime?" Arthur who found Otohime always stealing glances at him asked with a slight smile.

Otohime: "No, I just heard that today is your 17th birthday and Saint Adam said that you wanted to meet me. And I also feel bad for not bringing something like your birthday present. "

Arthur: "Ah, don't worry. I do not expect gifts because with your arrival at this house it has become something extraordinary, when else can a mermaid queen from the Fishman island be able to attend my birthday party? And I want to meet you because there is something I want to talk about on the Fishman island. "

Otohime: "I am very happy because the Amenome family is willing to help me to get approval from other World Noble families in supporting coexistence between fishmen and humans, so fishmen can also live peacefully on the surface. And if I may know what you want to talk to me about? "

Arthur: "That can wait, let's enjoy this lunch."

Maria: "As Arthur said, it's even better if you stay overnight in our house so you can get news directly from this old man." Maria suggested while pointing at her father.

Otohime: "I don't want to bother." Otohime tried to resist gently.

Saint Adam: "There is no need to hesitate, after this, I will contact other families and tomorrow or at the latest the day after tomorrow then you can finish your petition with the 19 signatures of the World Noble family."

Arthur: "And that way we can talk a lot."

Hancock: "Arthur, it seems like you want to be with the queen of Otohime. Lest you ... " Hancock's emotional aura turned angry and jealous seeing Arthur's attitude towards Otohime and made Otohime laugh softly.

Arthur: "What are you talking about? I just want to know about the conditions on the Fishman island and I'm also interested in the local legend they have. " Otohime could only smile seeing the attitude of the young people in front of him and began to reduce his vigilance.

Otohime: "My children will be happy if they meet you."

Arthur: "Oh ... the princess of the mermaid."

Robin + Hancock: "Arthur ..."

Arthur: "The princess of a mermaid is not yet born but it will be as beautiful as you two."

Robin and Hancock calm because they know that the princess of a mermaid will not be a rival to both of them. But Arthur's words drew attention from Otohime, she did not have a daughter and she and her husband already had the will for the next child. But seeing Arthur's emotional aura, Otohime did not see or feel anything bad.

Finally, Arthur's birthday party began that night, all wearing the clothes Maria had prepared. No one brought a birthday present because Arthur was angry when they competed for the best gift so there were no more gifts on birthdays, just ordinary celebrations like a dinner party. Only this time they had a special guest, the queen of the Ryugu kingdom, the queen of Otohime. The party went smoothly and there was no problem after that Arthur asked for time to talk to Otohime.

Arthur: "Sorry if I disturbed your rest."

Otohime: "Don't worry, I also have something to ask you."

Arthur: "You can ask your question first."

Otohime: "All right, what do you mean by my unborn daughter?"

Arthur: "Ah, those words slipped from my mouth. As Shyarley predicted, next year Poseidon will be born. " Hearing the word Poseidon made Otohime shocked and panicked.

Otohime: "So you mean my daughter is Poseidon, the legendary mermaid who can rule the Sea Kings according to her will. How do you know?" Although Otohime was a little surprised he still checked the truth of Arthur's words

Arthur: "You could say I have the same ability as Shyarley, only that I see is only one future line until 15 years later. So you shouldn't know too much about it so as not to change the lines of the future too much which can make my knowledge useless. "

Otohime: "Alright, so what do you want to talk about?" Otohime for a while believed Arthur's words.

Arthur: "You know that your dreams will be difficult to achieve, right?"

Otohime: "I know, fishmen and humans must be able to open themselves to be able to live in peace. And ... "Otohime's sentence stopped because he was interrupted by Arthur.

Arthur: "So you don't know, what you have to think about are not humans, but World Nobles and Fishmans."

Otohime: "What do you mean? Isn't your grandfather willing to help me? "

Arthur: *sigh* "You know that humans often capture your people, don't you?" Otohime nodded and Arthur continued his explanation.

Arthur: "They were captured and made as slaves by world nobles, mermaids who have attractive looks and unique fishmen appearance. Even just for entertainment, there is Tenryuubito who puts meat-eating fish into a mermaid pond to see her swim in fear and get killed by it. " This time hearing Arthur's words made Otohime understand Arthur's intentions and began to shed tears.

Arthur: "And Fishmans who know that make them hate humans and may reciprocate that action so they don't support your dreams." After crying for a while, Otohime began to calm down and round his determination.

Otohime: "I understand what you mean, but I will not give up. This petition will make the world government recognize the Ryugu Kingdom and give us the same status as the others. For the hatred of fishmen, I will open their eyes to live peacefully together. " After confirming the determination of Otohime, Arthur sighed deeply.

Arthur: "All right, I'll help you. So what will you do after successfully getting recognition from the World Government? "

Otohime: "Eto ..."

Arthur: "Don't say that you don't have a follow-up plan and leave everything to the future."

Otohime: "Hehehe ..."

Arthur immediately made plans with Otohime regarding the future of the Ryugu Kingdom. Especially the security of the kingdom and members of the royal family for the sake of a better system. Education and the economy are also not free from the discussion of the two of them. Not feel the night is getting late and they stop their conversation to be continued tomorrow.
