Chapter 30

Ragna knew that the Neptune Army would not find Vander Decken.

If he joined them, would be much higher their odds of finding him. But why would Ragna do that?

It was not the time to help them yet. Ragna would help them when they realized that Vander Decken was far more dangerous. That way, they would be even more grateful to Ragna.

"Ragna-sama? Why did you come?" Shirahoshi asked curiously.

"We're going to have a little duel with your brother." Ragna said.

"Woaw! Can I watch too?" Shirahoshi asked with her sparkly eyes.

Frankly, it was impossible to refuse this cute little monster. Fukaboshi said because he couldn't refuse her, "Okay, you can watch. But you have to watch from a safe place, away from us, okay?"

Shirahoshi quickly nodded her head as she smiled.

Later, they went towards the garden of the palace while Neptune remained there. There was a large round area in the garden, the floor of which was made of stone. It was probably the place where the duel was to take place.

"And who wants to fight first with me?" Fukaboshi asked with secret excitement.

Ragna directly pushed Law towards the stage without answering Fukaboshi. It was clear he didn't want to go out first.

"Captain, you are so unfair." Law reproachfully said.

"Think of its like training." Ragna said with a smile, and then he went to a corner to watch them with Shirahoshi.

"Law-san, if you're ready, I'll start." Fukaboshi said while holding his trident menacingly.

"Let's begin. Room." Law said with a smile and then he released the devil fruit power he had accumulated in his hand.

At that time, Otohime had come to the mermaid cafe.

When seeing her enter, the waiters said in surprise, "Queen Otohime? Why are you here? Ahem* Welcome!"

"I came here to see Madam Shyarly." Otohime said while ignoring her demeanor.

Later, one of the mermaids took him to Madam Shyarly.

Madame Shyarly was the owner of the mermaid cafe. She had short black hair that covered half of her face. Also, she was very tall.

After entering, Otohime said, "Shyarly, did you see something important?"

"Yes, I think I have seen a very important scene that will happen in the future." Shyarly said.

Shyarly had a talent for seeing the future. And this talent of her was quite popular on Fishman Island.

Otohime began to stare at her with a serious expression. Because if she saw something, it must have been pretty important.

"I saw Noah and it was filled with the people of Fishman Island. Noah was going up." Shyarly said.

"What? But how can this be?" Otohime said in surprise.

"There was a big monster pulling it. He looked so strong and scary." Shyarly said. Her body began to tremble slightly as he remembered that monster again.

"A monster pulling it? Something like a sea king? And why were people inside Noah?" Otohime said in surprise.

"It didn't look like sea kings at all. And you know that I can only see the future. I have no idea why we're in Noah." Shyarly said.

Otohime thought, 'Accordingly, we're heading somewhere up ahead with Noah. Shirahoshi may have called the sea kings. But why would such a thing happen? Just to get to the surface?'

"Thanks for telling me this. If you see anything again, don't forget to let me know." Otohime said to her and then left.

A few days passed.

Ragna and Law sometimes went to the mermaid cafe and hung out with the mermaids there, and sometimes they went to the Ryuga palace and fight with Fukaboshi.

After their first fight, Fukaboshi directly said that he wanted to fight them more. That's why he called them every chance he got. Ragna did not reject this. After all, he did chat with Shirahoshi in this way.

Vander Decken was sending more and more objects every day. The first day he was sending only a piece of paper, now he was sending packages. Ragna knew that after some more time, Vander Decken would only get worse.

When that time came, Ragna would help them, so that he could become much more close to them.

Anyway, Ragna was with Ishilly right now. He became close with her because he often went to the mermaid cafe. Also, when Ragna went there, Ishilly was always taking care of him for some reason.

Today, Ishilly had offered to show him around Fishman Island. Of course, Ragna accepted this offer. After all, hanging out with a beautiful mermaid was much better than the others. The idea of having fun with a sexy mermaid was better than spending the day with those three guys.

"Ragna-kun, thank you for accepting my offer." Ishilly said with a smile.

"It doesn't matter, besides, I couldn't refuse an offer from a beauty." Ragna said.

When hearing Ragna's compliment, Ishilly smiled even more. After all, all girls love to be complimented.

"So where will you take me today?" Ragna asked.

"First, I will take you to the popular places on the island. Then I will show you unknown but beautiful places. Then we'll go swimming at Mermaid Cove. The last thing we're going to do..." Ishilly said and then added with a wink, "It is a surprise."

Ishilly had a slight flushed on her cheek at that moment.

"Nice plan. Then my whole day is yours." Ragna said.
