Chapter 71: Love At First Sight.....

" Well, we are almost there! " Queen Otohime said looking at the entrance to the palace, the outside of a giant, dark bubble right on the edge of the Main Kingdom Bubble, The entirety of the Ryugu Kingdom consisted of the mainland, Fishman island, surrounded by two bubbles.

Soon they reached a round entrance and Otohime ringed a bell.

" Yes? " A neutral voice sounded from the speaker.

" It's me! " Otohime declared, the man from the speaker immediately recognized that heavenly voice.

" Q-Queen Otohime, ma'am! We will put down the corridor at once! " Inside the two bubbles a corridor of high-speed water was formed and connected to the entrance.

Luffy who was beside Otohime looked at her, she smiled as she started fondling her boobs for an unexplainable reason that Luffy could not decipher. She silently moaned as she continued, Luffy who was the only one paying attention.

She enjoyed giving him a show as she showed a peek into her rosy nipples, however it was soon hidden by her purple petal bikini, her pink full lips lustfully chuckled as she drew a pink sponge from her plump breasts.

The fact that she was fourteen feet tall made her curves even more pronounced, she, given her size was actually O cup if it ever existed being a Bust of 72' a waist of 35' and yet she was incredibly lean and Hips reaching 58'. While these incredible proportions would not occur in a normal woman, the fact was that her body was perfectly proportionate to her size making her one hell of a curvy woman.

Otohime then gave Luffy the pink sponge she retrieved from her chest so it meant her whole moaning show was just her searching for the thing.

' Honestly what was with busty women and hiding their possessions on their breasts? ' Luffy's thought as he remembered Nami doing similar things.

" This Sponge is able to produce a bubble just squeeze it! " Otohime pointed out.

Luffy did just that and soon a bubble the size of a bus was formed on top of the Giant Shark, they entered the water tunnel.

" So Luffy-san, are you a Dragon? " asked Otohime suddenly. Luffy was surprised, so he asked, " Why do you think so? "

Otohime smiled, " Actually the moment you appeared in front of me, i felt a strong bloodline supression from you. Only a powerful Dragon bloodline can supress us, that's why. " Luffy was dumbfounded by the sudden twist of plot and asked, " Yes, i am a Dragon. But does that mean real Dragon exists in this world???!! "

Otohime nodded, " Yes, our ancestor was also a powerful Golden Dragon, who had control over the entire ocean. You can see his statue when we reach the palace. " Luffy nodded and didn't ask further.

After a few moments they arrived in the entrance of the Ryugu Palace.

" We are here! " Otohime smirked at their stunned expressions.

A red giant staircase in front that made megalo look small led to a giant green gate with twin dragons circling each other the gate had a huge hole in the middle. The walls of the castle were green and they could see several towers with a wine colored roof.

The palace was supported by huge pillars and on the top floors were open archways leading to various rooms, all of it was submerged in water. Around it was the most beautiful flora and fauna they ever saw under the sea, and encircling all of the palace was a Golden Dragon statue.

The face was roaring on top of the central tower, to finish it off they had the symbol of the Dragon written on the center of the palace.

" The Queen is back! Open the gates! " A guard said after scouting the gate.

" Queen Otohime has arrived! "

" I wonder where she went! "

" Now opening the gate! " A voice said from within as the gate creaked open.

Then Otohime gave a order and the water was immediately evacuated. Luffy and the rest jumped into the now dry palace, Camie just floated with her bubble ring, and when Otohime jumped, after a flash of gold she landed on her feet.

" Wait, your tail...where did it..." Nami said as she looked at Otohime. She now had feet, thighs, legs and all, she looked human, well that is if you ignore the golden scales adorning parts of it.

Her navel was covered by her pearl waist collar with silk cloth down her navel and posterior, however it did nothing to hide her ass and her side hips. Luffy was mesmerized by the view.

The others were shocked however after a bit of time they understood. Mermaids had complex body structures that were earlier explained by Camie.

Just then two distinct merman walked up to Queen Otohime, they tried to scold her however she was not even listening to them. Luffy then started walking to the corridors to visit the Palace without asking for permission as it was against his personality.

Luffy was subtly watched by Otohime's baby blue eyes but she didn't stop him.

After Luffy left, the noise continued from the two, until Otohime hit her Trident on the ground.

" Even if you two are the Ministers of Right and Left that does not give any reason to reprimand myself in any form, I am still the ruler of this country! If you dislike my whims then you can see yourself out! " Her hard Queenly persona came out.

" B—But! You went out of this castle when, in a time like this! " The minister of the Right said.

" But nothing minister, you can't even believe in the strength of your ruler! " Her eyes turned cold as a gust of wind emanated from her, knocking all the guards in the vicinity, even the ministers were lightheaded. The Devil Dragons behind were all shocked.

" Haoshoku Haki, she has it. As I suspected this lovely mermaid is really strong. " Nami murmured.

" Now look, these people saved Megalo when he was attacked by the Kraken, we must provide a feast of welcoming, where is my precious daughter minister? "

" About that your Majesty, we just heard that…" The minister of Left continued whispering, his body was still sweaty from the exposure of Haki.

"..." Otohime listened to him, her eyes showed no emotion.

" So she retired to her room of course without me here she cannot defend herself from that man's attacks… " Otohime clicked her tongue in annoyance as she gripped her spear harder.

.....

Luffy soon found a door with a bunch of weapons stuck on it. His lips started twitching when he saw the numbers of weapons. He sighed and pushed open the door and immediately the view of a giant mermaid greeted his sight.

The moment she saw him, she screamed, " Ahhhh....who are you? Are you here to make an attempt on my life as well!? " She continued, " W-Well I'm not scared of you at all! " She was obviously lying, as...oh no...tears were building up in her eyes. " I am the daughter of Queen Otohime! W-Why should I...be...WAAAAAAAAAAH! SOMEBODYYYYY! MOTHERRRR! BROTHEEEEEEER! " She burst into tears!

" Nani!? I haven't even done anything! " Luffy shouted, " Oi! Calm down! No, I'm not here to kill you. " Luffy looked at her, looking at this mermaid he couldn't help but feel stunned, this was perhaps one of the most beautiful creatures he had ever seen.

She started wiping her tears with the forearms as she softly clutched the man with her hand.

" U—Um, who are you? M—My name is S—Shirahoshi. " Shirahoshi said with a soft whisper, she was painfully shy. She continued wiping her tears and finally had a proper look at the man she was holding.

" My name is Luffy, Monkey D. Luffy, the Captain of Devil Dragon Pirates. " Luffy said with a smile. Shirahoshi saw the man's appearance, He was a bit stunning. Shirahoshi who only had her brothers to compare to, found the man to be frankly gorgeous beyond belief.

Just then Luffy turned around and glared in the doors direction, a sword coming right for them, or more specifically Shirahoshi. It was still far away, but Shirahoshi also sensed it.

It was heading straight to Shirahoshi's heart. Luffy stood in the air in front of her left breast and stopped the sword with one hand . But the axe did not relent and started grinding on Luffy's hand, so Luffy shattered it and the pieces fell on the floor.

While this was happening Shirahoshi saw how dangerously close the sword was to her heart. Her hair was flowing by the wind caused by the man blocking the fatal attack.

She looked on to the muscular back of the one called Monkey D. Luffy, her heart thumped as an unfamiliar feeling came over her, her dreary eyes came back to life for the first time in many years.

Yes, that feeling is something many thought as the most precious feelings, love at first sight. Those were Shirahoshi's feeling at the moment.

Well it was not her fault because she was just an innocent girl.

she brought him closed to her face as her hot breath came over him. She smiled a bit and he turned around. His deep red eyes met with her and were so pretty to look at.

" That was a close one wasn't it Shirahoshi? " He smirked.

" H—Hai, Luffy-sama..." Shirahoshi, the Mermaid Princess, said suddenly self-conscious.

" Awawa..." Shirahoshi started getting dizzy, her eyes became swirls as she wobbled a bit.

Shirahoshi's tail was cutely bashing the bed, well it would be cute if it wasn't for the incredible force she had. Honestly Luffy could see some whirlwinds forming in the massive sheets of her bed as she stomped.

Looking around Luffy could see the room was very lavish in appearance. It had lots of furniture with golden decorations, mostly it was white pink and gold in appearance. It was fit for a giant, now looking well at her he could surmise she was at least sixty feet tall.

' Wow, she is an enemy of all women. She was naturally born cute, her appearance is very stunning. Sure, Boa can still give her a run for her money though. No, this girl's personality is what is the problem. She is far better than i thought. Is she going to kill the world with cuteness? ' Luffy thought.
