Chapter 228
"Redhead Shank?"
Rubbed your eyes, Vander Decken IX, you have to erase this terrible illusion
But after wiping it down a few times, Whitebeard and the redhead Shanks are still standing in front of him
Boom!!
Vander Decken IX 's heart seemed to fall into a bottomless abyss.
Isn't the reason why he dared to blackmail the princess of The fish men island so arrogantly because he couldn't be found by the other party based on his whereabouts?
But he never expected that one moment he was still happily choosing weapons, and the next moment he was suddenly slapped in the face by two of Four Emperors...
Most importantly, in the middle of the two quadruples stands Neptune, king of The fish men island.
This made it clear that the other party was here to help Neptune.
Under such circumstances, Vander Decken IX didn't have any thoughts of resistance at all, and just turned around and wanted to sneak away
brush!!
Just as Van der Daken rushed a few meters away, two Swords were crossed on his neck
In the shadows, Vista came out slowly, with a teasing smile on his face: "Who gave you the confidence to run away in front of Pop?"
The sharp blade forcefully forced Vander Decken IX back in front of the crowd.
poof!!
Vander Decken IX 's knee hit the deck hard, and he prostrated himself at Neptune's feet, crying bitterly: "I was wrong, I was wrong!! Please forgive me!!! I Will never do it again"
Boom boom boom!!
Van der Deaken slammed his head on the deck, crying and begging for mercy.
"forgive?"
A contemptuous sneer twitched at the corner of Vista's mouth, "First pretend to be pitiful and beg for sympathy, once you escape, it will get worse!! You see this kind of person a lot..."
It sounded like he was talking to himself, but he was actually reminding Neptune not to soften his heart.
Neptune's face was full of anger: "Hmph! You caused such misery to little Shirahoshi, and you still want to be forgiven?"
Although he is a merciful king, he is not merciful enough to ignore the suffering of his own daughter!!
"Bring me my big sword!!!" Neptune waved his hand, and soon a Fishman guard brought his 18-meter broadsword.
"If I show mercy to you today, tomorrow you will retaliate even more crazily!! Vander Decken IX, I will not spare you!!!"
As he said that, Neptune raised his long sword high, and chose it with one blow!
That night, The fish men island held a celebration on the island, and Neptune gave a big banquet to all that gather!!
The Straw Hat Pirates, Whitebeard Pirates and Red Hair Pirates were entertained with the highest royal banquet.
Logan, as the biggest contributor to this incident, was invited by Neptune to be a minister.
In addition, the three captains Whitebeard, Shanks and Luffy also sat at the main table.
Princess Shirahoshi has now regained her freedom, and finally she no longer needs to be kept in the shell tower. Her seat is next to Logan's. Logan used a small card to make her into a human size. While eating, she pestered Logan to continue giving her outside stories.
"Gurararara!!! Neptune, it seems that your daughter likes Logan very much" Whitebeard and Neptune clinked a glass and said with a smile.
"Yeah, Logan is not only young and promising, but also handsome, the key is little Shirahoshi's savior! If it weren't for me, I would have just had such a daughter, I would have wanted little Shirahoshi to go to sea with Logan~"
Neptune was also cheerful.
On the surface, Logan saved little Shirahoshi.
But in fact..., Neptune knew in his heart that Logan has saved countless people!!!
"By the way, Logan, what wish do you have? As I said before, if anyone can save little Shirahoshi, I will agree to anything!"
Neptune looked at Logan and asked kindly.
good!
Didn't I just wait for you to ask me this?
Immediately, Logan showed a embarrassed expression: "I want to talk about things..., there was nothing wrong at first, but now suddenly there are...."
Neptune waved his hand boldly: "Just ask, as long as I can do it, I will do it!!"
Seeing Neptune like this, Logan also said happily: "Okay, since Your Majesty the King is so generous, then I do have a heartfelt request. Can I buy some Sunlight Tree Eve roots from you?"
wow!!
As soon as these words came out, the audience instantly quite down!!!
All the Fishmans and mermaids all focused their eyes on Logan's face.
Their eyes were shocked with vigilance!
Even Neptune's complexion turned bad all of a sudden
"Gurararara!!!" Whitebeard's laughter interrupted the Ice atmosphere in time, and he smoothed things over, "Logan probably doesn't know the importance of Sunlight Tree Eve to The fish men island, so he opened his mouth like this."
Then, Whitebeard looked at Logan again: "Let me tell you, Logan, The fish men island should have been in total darkness in the deep sea of 10,000 meters. But Sunlight Tree Eve absorbs sunlight through its branches and leaves, and then Then spread to the root system, thereby illuminating the "sky" of The fish men island. So..., the importance of the root system of the Sunlight Tree Eve to The fish men island, I think you should be able to understand..."
Thanks to Whitebeard's peacemaking behavior, the faces of the Fishmans and merfolk present eased up.
te...
Those who don't know are innocent!
Neptune pondered for a moment, then frowned and asked, "Logan, why do you need the root of Sunlight Tree Eve?"
Neptune can still understand if branches are needed.
After all, sticks can be used to build ships.
The ship built from the branches of the sun tree Eve must be extremely strong, no less than the ship built from the branches of the precious tree Adam.
But the problem is... the branches of Sunlight Tree Eve are completely hidden inside the Red Line, which makes it almost impossible to obtain the branches of Sunlight Tree Eve.
But the root... can't be used in shipbuilding at all.
Logan smiled: "My condition sounds a bit inexplicable, right?"
Dude, so you know...?
Please, come to our The fish men island to ask for the root system of Sunlight Tree Eve. …
That's not inexplicable, that's simply unreasonable!!!!
"Why....…"
Logan sighed
To his left is Princess Shirahoshi, and to his right is little Merry.
Merry immediately sat on Logan's lap with understanding.
"Your Majesty Neptune, I would like to introduce to you, this is my daughter Merry "
Logan gently patted Merry 's little hand, and introduced it to everyone at the same table.
"Pfft! You already have a daughter!!?" Neptune almost spit out a mouthful of old wine.
"Ahem, he adopted it." Whitebeard, as an insider, [explained immediately.
Then he added: "Although she was adopted, Logan paid her more sincerely than her own daughter."
"Wow! You are so cute" Princess Shirahoshi couldn't help but came over and touched Merry little face
"Your Majesty Neptune, do you know why I was so active in trying to help you before?"
Logan looked at Neptune and asked softly.
Neptune pondered for a moment, then said: "I was a little confused before, but now I think I should understand. Everyone has a daughter, and you can definitely feel the pain I have suffered over the years."
Logan nodded: "Yes. It is because of this empathy that I am determined to help little Shirahoshi get out of the sea of suffering."
Wow!!
Neptune stood up suddenly, and bowed deeply in Logan's direction: "Thank you very much!!"
Standing up, Neptune looked at Logan seriously: "You want the root system of Tree Eve, is it also for your daughter?"
"yes...…...."
Logan sighed, hugged Merry into his arms, and said with a heavy face: "My daughter is not an ordinary human. She has a very special constitution. She not only needs to eat, but also needs to eat wood."
"Eat wood?"
Whitebeard was astonished, and suddenly remembered something, and said, "The old man finally understands! No wonder your daughter's food expenses are so expensive!"
"It's not just about eating wood. When she becomes addicted, ordinary wood can't satisfy her appetite. Rare and rare wood must be used to appease this appetite. Otherwise, she will starve to death soon."
Logan went on to say.
The red-haired eyebrow raised slightly: "The situation you mentioned is a bit similar to a craving disorder."
"I remembered!" At this moment, Luffy patted his forehead, "Last time, Merry kept shouting that she was hungry, and she had no strength. Later, she returned to normal after eating the Adam tree"
Logan spread her hands: "Yes, now she's hungry again..."
Luffy became anxious immediately: "That's not good!! We have to find something to eat for her quickly!!"
"Is that so..." Hearing this, Neptune also understood.
But he is really difficult
With a sigh, Neptune said: "Logan, you are the great benefactor of me and little Shirahoshi I should meet your request. But this matter is too much for The fish men island!!"
"It doesn't matter. I'm just asking for your opinion. I'm not buying or selling by force. When we enter the New World, we'll go to the underground black market to see if there are other branches of the treasure Adam Tree for resale."
Logan showed a smile on his face, signaling Neptune not to care too much.
The fact that Merry was greedy was true, and Logan did not lie.
But when Logan left the Sabaody Archipelago, he stored a large amount of mangroves.
Although these mangrove trees are far inferior to the treasure Adam Tree and Sunlight Tree Eve, and they can't completely eliminate Merry 's appetite, but they can have a suppressive effect, and can relieve Merry 's appetite a lot.
The stock of mangroves is still sufficient for the time being.
If there is no substance that can replace the treasure Adam Tree and the Sunlight Tree Eve in the New World, then Logan can only come back and steal...
Oh no, 'borrow' the root of Sunlight Tree Eve
`"Father, can't we help a bunch of little Merry?" At this time, Princess Shirahoshi said pitifully.
"This matter..."
Neptune's tangled old face turned into a rag, so he sighed, "Well, after the banquet is over, I will go to Mrs. Shyarly for a fortune-telling on this matter. If the fortune-telling shows no bad omen, I will give you two root."
"That…..Thank you so much!!" Logan got up and performed a pirate's etiquette to Neptune.
After drinking and eating, Neptune and his party came to Mrs. Shyarly's coffee shop.
When she suddenly saw such a big person coming, Mrs. Shyarly was really taken aback!!
When Neptune told the purpose of their coming, Mrs. Shyarly was shocked again
"What!? Sunlight tree Eve's root ???"
Looking at Neptune with an unbelievable look, Mrs. Shyarly almost cursed~
She forcefully calmed down her anger, and said slowly:
"Do you still need to think about this kind of thing?"
"As the lord of a country, you still want to ask me to take over this matter?"
"Isn't this nonsense?"
Neptune blushed when he was told, but when he thought of the happiness that Logan brought to Shirahoshi, he said with an old face: "Anyway, please! Just do a divination"
Seeing Neptune's insistence, Mrs. Shyarly also understood that today's occupation must be taken.
"Your Majesty, let's say I didn't remind you! Divinating this kind of thing, and the result of the divination will definitely make you accept it!!!"
Saying that, Mrs. Shyarly ordered a Fishman to move out the crystal ball.
As she began to chant some ancient spell, the crystal ball glowed white
Mrs. Shyarly's eyes also turned white.
Logan rubbed his chin, also very interested in the result of this divination.
He knows Mrs. Sharley's character design, and her divination is 100% correct!
So..., this result is very curious
In this kind of commentary, within a few seconds of the divination, Mrs. Shyarly face suddenly became extremely shocked!!!
"..." Neptune sighed and covered his old face, knowing that he was too willful this time.
After a few seconds, the horror on Mrs. Shyarly's face became even stronger!!
After a few seconds, Mrs. Shyarly 's mouth opened, and she was completely stunned!!
Hula!!
The white light of the crystal ball suddenly disappeared, and Mrs. Shyarly seemed to be suffocated in the water for a while, breathing heavily.
"How about it?" Although Neptune knew that the result would not be too good, he still asked.
"Step aside!"
Mrs. Shyarly put aside the king of The fish men island, and rushed to Logan.
Caught off guard, Neptune fell down on the chair next to him, and he shouted loudly: "Don't be impulsive, he is Shirahoshi's savior no matter what! Don't hurt or kill him!"
Then the next moment, before he could say anything, he saw Mrs. Shyarly kneel down in front of Logan, hugged Logan's leg, and burst into tears: "Thank you!"
THANK YOU..., THANK YOU...???!!!"
At this moment, everyone was dumbfounded!!!
what's the situation???
