Soldier: "My mermaid princess, Shirahoshi. With this red rose and letter, I want to convey how much I love you. I want to make you my wife. I will continue to send a sign of my love until you answer me. Your true love, Vander Decken IX. " At King Neptune's orders, a soldier read the letter aloud so that all could hear.

Poseidon is the name of a legendary mermaid who has the power to communicate and control the Sea King. It was considered a powerful weapon because of the Sea King's destructive potential to sink islands with ease, and controlling such power was considered one of the most terrifying abilities in the entire world. That is why Poseidon became one of the three Ancient Weapons, along with Pluton and Uranus, where at this time, Shirahoshi has inherited Poseidon's power and name.

Princess Shirahoshi had unknowingly demonstrated the ability to summon a Sea King when her mother was in danger of being shot by World Noble Mjosgard. Her scream calls out a group of Sea Kings, allowing her mother and Vander Decken IX to find out about her abilities. At this point, Decken concludes that Shirahoshi is the legend of the Mermaid Princess that his family has been looking for and decides to marry her to gain access to her terrifying abilities leading him to send a marriage proposal.

Robin: "I think I've heard this sentence from my mother's story, but maybe I remember the wrong one." The comment from Robin after hearing the contents of the letter from Decken made Arthur frown.

Neptune: "But how could he deliver this letter and flowers straight to Shirahoshi who stand betwen us?" Neptune began to think about what had happened.

Arthur: "Maybe he has a Devil Fruit that can make objects fly from afar towards its target, but if this ability can choose its target at will then this Devil Fruit is very strong. So I think there must be a condition for choosing the target. " Arthur pretended to think and make a guess even though he already knew very well the power of Vander Decken IX.

Soldier: "Ah… I remember someone approaching Princess Shirahoshi in the chaos during Queen Otohime's shooting!" A soldier who was close to Shirahoshi from the start remembers that someone who might be Vender Decken touched Shirahoshi.

Prime Minister: "Go find and arrest that man! If the next thing he throws isn't flowers and letters but weapons then Princess Shirahoshi's life is in danger as long as he is out there! " The prime minister thought about the worst that could happen.

Neptune: "Immediately deploy all the soldiers!" Realizing this, King Neptune, who did not depressed about his wife's death, could immediately take action.

Arthur: "I thought it was just plain flowers and paper flying in the wind so I didn't act, but if there's another thing that comes close then I'll take care of it. So Shirahoshi will be safe for the time being while we're here. " Arthur offers to help Neptune.

Neptune: "I don't know how many times to say this to you Arthur, but I thank you for all your help –Jamon." Neptune knows that there won't be any problems in the meantime so he can entertain his guest.

Fukaboshi: "I have to become stronger like father and Arthur-Sama." Fukaboshi made a promise while looking at Shirahoshi who was still being entertained by Manboshi and Ryuboshi.

Neptune: "Hoh Hoh Hoh Hoh ... Immediately prepare a banquet and entertainment for our guest —Jamon." Finally, the Ryugu Royal family's goal of inviting Arthur to Ryugu Palace was fulfilled.

Although King Neptune was a little worried about his wife, Queen Otohime, he knew that Queen Otohime was fine but was weak and needed rest. King Neptune made his children entertain Arthur and his crew members with a welcome party so they not worrying about Queen Otohime's health. They eat local Fishman island dishes, listen to the melodious songs of Fishman island's famous singers, and the beautiful mermaids serve food and drink to Arthur and the others.

On the other side of Fishman Island, Vender Decken IX, who is excited after sending his love letter, thinks about what he will do next. Decken went straight to the photo studio to have his photos printed so that he could send them to Shirahoshi in his next letter. But he did not know that this photo would be displayed all over Fishman Island with the title "WANTED". Luckily for him, the Ryugu Kingdom soldiers couldn't find him while they were looking him.

Neptune: "Hoh Hoh Hoh Hoh ... Arthur, how long are you going to stay on the Fishman Island -Jamon?" In the middle of the party, King Neptune asked Arthur.

Arthur: "Maybe I'll continue my trip next week." Arthur answered while drinking his sake which was poured by a beautiful mermaid.

Shirahoshi: "Eh ... Arthur-Sama is leaving?" Princess Shirahoshi started to get close and like Arthur after partying and hearing the story from him was immediately sad with Arthur's words.

Arthur: "Don't be sad Shirahoshi… If your mother's dream comes true and the Fishman can live freely on the surface then you can visit me however you want, so as long as you have to help your mother and obey your brother's words." Arthur calmed Shirahoshi by rubbing her head and making her smile.

Shirahoshi: "Can I see the green forest and blue sky? Can I also go to interesting places in your story? " Shirahoshi asked excitedly.

Arthur: "Of course, so you have to be a good girl before you can do that."

Shirahoshi: "Um ... I will be a good girl." This smile of Shirahoshi soothed the hearts of all who saw it.

Fukaboshi: "Arthur-Sama, if Arthur-Sama and your friends want to have a look at Fishman Island then we can show you around." Fukaboshi's idea of ​​repaying Arthur's kindness even only a little.

Neptune: "Hoh Hoh Hoh Hoh … That's a great idea -Jamon. Arthur, where do you guys want to go -Jamon? "

Robin: "If you guys have Poneglyphs I want to see them. If not, then I'd like to see a heritage site. " Of course all that Robin wishes.

Monet: "I want to see the clothes on Fishman Island." Monet changes straight into her shopping mode.

Hancock: "I'll come with you because there's nothing in particular that I want. And Baby-5, I'll leave Arthur to you, make sure he doesn't act weird and nothing weird gets close to him."

Baby-5: "Don't worry, Hancock. I definitely won't let Arthur out of my sight while on this island. "

Ikaros: "I want to see the libraries and books on Fish-Man Island." Ikaros still wants to add information to her database by reading books.

Nymph: "I will accompany Ikaros so it can be faster." Nymph continued Ikaros' words while continuing to eat the Fish-Man Island confectioneries.

Koala: "If possible I want to see the Gyojin Karate Dojo." Koala who started training from Arthur would want to see Gyojin Karate directly from Fishman.

Kuina: "That's a good idea, maybe there is a Kendo Dojo here too." Kuina was also interested in sword fighting techniques that Fishman might have.

Law: "I want to know medical techniques on this island." As a doctor, Law wants to know a lot about medical knowledge that exists in the world.

Sugar: "I'll go shopping with my sister then." Sugar, who has no particular that she wants in Fishman Island, decides to join her sister shopping.

Sabo: "Is there really a legendary mermaid café here? I want to see it in person. Maybe I can buy some souvenirs for Ace and Luffy too. " Sabo wants to have an adventure on one of the legendary islands in the world.

Bepo: "Are there any pretty bears too?" This most unique Bepo request made everyone turn to him.

Neptune: "Hoh Hoh Hoh Hoh … Very interesting –Jamon. All your friends are very interesting, Arthur. Especially this young girl, not many people know about Poneglyph and especially can read it —Jamon. And don't worry, I will order someone to accompany you to all of your destination –Jamon. But except for you, little bear, sorry, we don't have any bears at our island -Jamon. Maybe there a Sea Bear if you want to meet." Hearing Neptune's last sentence made the others laugh.

Bepo: "Sorry." Bepo immediately depressed seeing the others.

Neptune: "Arthur, you haven't told about yourself, where is your destination while on vacation here –Jamon?" Arthur immediately stopped laughing and looked seriously at King Neptune.

Arthur: "Not where, but what. My purpose here is besides fulfilling my promise to Queen Otohime to visit Fish-Man Island. I want a Devil Fruit that you have, or maybe it's a Devil Fruit that the king of the Ryugu Kingdom has been guarding for a long time. " Arthur answered King Neptune's question while pointing at him, more precisely at his beard.

Neptune: "How do you know?" King Neptune's happy face and the smile vanished into a very serious face at Arthur's words.
