In the spacious hall of Ryugu Palace, a banquet was underway, held specifically for Luo Han and his group to resolve the crisis on Fish-Man Island.
As soon as the banquet began, the six of them sat together with the Ryugu King's family of four, along with Otohime, who was merely a maid. This alone showed how extraordinary Otohime was, as well as how highly the Ryugu King regarded her.

"Yes!"
"Yes!"
Soldiers inside and outside the hall responded as huge plates were carried in and out.

Everyone fell silent. They had truly learned that the world was full of wonders.
Seeing that Cole had no intention of stopping anytime soon, the Ryugu King could no longer wait to say what he wanted
