Few days after the fight with Hody Jones. The Fish-Man District has filled been with debris. But the people of Fish-Man Island were thankful that the place was destroyed because due to the New Fish-Man Pirates terrorizing the island due to their brutality causing fear around the Fish-Man Island.

While Cero was unconscious a piece of news shocked the world. The war between the Whitebeard Pirates and Marines ended. With the result that Edward Whitebeard has died along with Portgas D. Ace in Marineford, but Whitebeard's last words trigger a new era of pirates saying."One Piece does exist!"

In the royal infirmary. Cero woke up covered with bandages all over his body. While he was scanning the surrounding a person came.

"So you are awake huh... Hows your body... " Prince Fukaboshi asked. Cero then replied. "My body still hurts but it takes a few days for my body to stop hurting.

"I'm glad that your injuries are not serious, you just fainted due to exhaustion." Prince Fukaboshi said then hesitantly asked. " May I ask your name?"

Cero just said."My name is Cero, pleased to meet you, Prince Fukaboshi, and thanks for saving my life" he then deeply bowed to him. Prince Fukaboshi just nods. And a large figure entered the infirmary.

"Cero boy, are you one that caused the Fish-Man Island to shake and why are there?" King Neptune asked Cero, I just replied."Indeed I am the that did that. And the reason that I was there was because I was only want to destroy the New Fish-Man Pirates." Of course, I can't say I destroyed the New Fish-Man Pirates just because of the System and did it for the reward. Both King Neptune and Prince Fukaboshi were surprised as they heard that I destroyed that pirate crew, was more surprised that I did it alone.

King Neptune clasps my hands and said to me."You, Cero are now an esteemed guest of the Ryugu Kingdom. I, King Neptune personally thank you for destroying the New Fish-Man Pirates as there as spreading their infamy in the Fish-Man Island." surprised by the sudden developments. The system rang.

"Hidden Task Completed: Become an esteemed guest of the Ryugu Kingdom. Reward: Get 1 item from the Store. and Also Task Completed: Destroy the New Fish-Man Pirates Reward: Daiguren Hyōrinmaru."

Bewildered by the system that I completed a task, but what's done is done. King Neptune arranged a banquet for their new esteemed quest when he will be in good shape. People in the palace are curious about the esteemed quest as he is a human and young. While I laying on the bed checking my condition. My Observation can now sense further than last time. My Zanpakuto is still the same. I really want to see Bankai form but I am still currently recuperating, so I'll know it in the future. My Sharingan. I was surprised that my two tomoe Sharingan became three for some reason I guess it was due to the fight. As I opened the Store and saw that I can now get Mangekyou Sharingan. As he chooses what design of the Mangekyou Sharingan, he chooses Madara's Mangekyou. He then activated Sharingan tried to Susanoo only to fail. Unsatisfied, he deactivated his Sharingan then laid back to rest.

A week has passed. My body is now mostly healed. Currently, the palace is now lively and busy as they are preparing for the banquet of the esteemed guest. Now I am wearing formal clothes for the event. Satisfied, I told King Neptune that I am ready for the event. King Neptune led me to the banquet. As I entered people turned their eyes to me. Surprised that their esteemed guest was handsome and as we started to eat, they were startled by table manners and etiquette at the banquet. I conversed with the people, became acquainted with both the Minister of Right and Left as I listened to them talking behind to their King for his lack of responsibility.

Cero asked for King Neptune if I can look around at the Palace, after thinking it for a moment he then agreed. he then ventured around the palace. Praising its surroundings and views. As I walked, I stumbled upon a tower. "So this where Princess Shirahoshi living quarters huh..." I go towards it and saw the door was filled with hanging axes, spear, and swords. The door became like this because of Vander Decken IX's obsessive love towards Shirahoshi.

I opened the door, went in, and saw Princess Shirahoshi reading a book with Megalo. Megalo who noticed me charged at me thinking I was an assassin. I quickly said. "Please do not be hostile to me. I am Cero, an esteemed guest here. I just want to greet Princess Shirahoshi." Shirahoshi then cutely stops Megalo. She cutely replied."Please to meet you to Cero-sama." then added."Can Cero-sama tell me about the world." Oh right, Shirahoshi didn't have any contact outside due to being locked inside for years, then I tell her about the outside world. After answering the questions she asked. I asked her."Why are you don't you go outside Shirahoshi" I called her without honorifics as she told me to drop it. She sadly said."It is because my Father prohibits me from going outside and some want to kill me when I go outside." she then started to teared up.

I asked her."Shirahoshi is there a place you want to go to." Shirahoshi holds back her tears then said." I want to go to my mother's grave"

Cero said to Shirahoshi."Someday will visit your mother's grave, so just wait because someone will bring you there." that someone is Luffy, you just wait for 2 years. "Really! thank you, Cero-sama!" Shirahoshi happily said. I then told Shirahoshi that I will be leaving, Shirahoshi became sad. I told her I will be visiting her if I have time. She then pulled her pinky and said."Promise." I pulled my pinky as a response.

I went back to the Palace. King Neptune asked me where have I been. I truthfully answered that I talked to Princess Shirahoshi. Suprised, King Neptune asked me."Does Shirahoshi like your company?" I just nod, then King Neptune went to Shirahoshi to confirm. When he came back, he asked me. To accompany Shirahoshi for a while if I am free. I gladly agreed then left the palace to go back to the Mermaid Cove. While I was on the way. I saw Big Mom Pirates Flag on a building. As I guessed that Big Mom claimed Fish-Man Island as her territory. Big Mom Pirates provides protection in exchange for large tributes of candy every month. I didn't do anything as I do not want any trouble from them as they could kill me easily.

When I arrived at Mermaid Cove. Camie and other mermaid start to bombard me a question like where have you been. I just tell them that went somewhere for a private matter. I just went straight to my room then slept.

At the Fish-Man District. A bloody figure is sitting on a chair, heavily panting he coldly said."You puny human just wait for my revenge." the figure slowly fades away.
