This guy is insane!

It's safe to say he truly lives up to his Kaido of the Beasts's disciple.

They actually dared to charge onto the Moby Dick all by themselves!

Mad!

You've gone completely mad!

They didn't take the so-called strongest Pops in the World's Strongest, the Whitebeard Pirates, seriously at all!

Blackbeard looked at Ian, who was standing on the ship's gunwale with a smile on his face, and couldn't help but sigh inwardly.

However, he can understand!

That's how it should be! No, that's the only way!

This is the behavior of a strong person!

If he possessed Ian's level of strength, he would definitely be even more arrogant than this kid!

Unrivaled power naturally possesses unrestrained freedom!

Unlike him, almost all the other members of the Whitebeard Pirates gritted their teeth at this moment.

Almost no one said anything to Ian; at that moment, they only felt shame, an unprecedented shame!

However, the first person to attack Ian was a girl who looked like a teenager and was actually a teenager.

"Ian!!"

She was clearly a cute-looking girl, but the sound coming from her mouth was a hissing sound like a demon roaring from the underworld.

"Go to hell!!"

Izou killed his uncle with his own hands, and drove his mother to suicide!

All that training has been for this moment!

She knew perfectly well that she had no chance of defeating this man with her own strength.

But how can I possibly resist the urge to draw the sword from my waist?

"Hiyori! Don't be impulsive!"

The expressions of the other Whitebeard Pirates changed drastically. In order to stop the little girl, they swarmed towards Ian.

Honestly, none of them listen to anyone.

Ian sighed. "Didn't we already say we meant no harm?"

Could you ask them to quiet down a bit?

"Owner!"

Behind him, Surtur was engulfed in flames, ready to burn everything in sight to ashes at Ian's command!

"Stop!"

However, at that very moment, Whitebeard suddenly roared.

"Pops-- "

Hiyori turned around in horror.

Having been with the Whitebeard Pirates for so many years, she naturally started calling Whitebeard "Old Pops" long ago.

"Come back, Hiyori,"

The Whitebeard senior glanced down at Hiyori, "You're still far from good enough; you're just courting death."

"Oh?"

Ian smiled as if he had just recognized Hiyori, and said, "The last remnants of the Kozuki Family? Then come on, I find the Kozuki surname rather irritating."

"...!"

Hiyori glared angrily at Ian, but ultimately stopped what she was doing.

Whitebeard, carrying a massive naginata, walked past his wary children and stopped a short distance in front of Ian, looking down at Ian with his over six-meter height.

"Kid, what do you mean by Fish-Man Island?"

The newspapers weren't making things up; this kid's aura is terrifyingly strong.

Ian's lips curled into a smile.

That's why I say Whitebeard was a good person.

He certainly couldn't possibly stand idly by and ignore Fish-Man Island.

That island was his territory, and Neptune was his good friend.

Ian smiled and said, "Then let's sit down and have a good talk, Whitebeard- senpai. I'm actually quite hungry, let's eat and chat at the same time."

The Whitebeard's eyes narrowed.

That brat, you've really gone too far.

How dare you be so arrogant in front of me?

"Is this the Red Line?"

Neptune couldn't help but be somewhat surprised.

So high!

The top of this continent is completely obscured by clouds from the sea.

It's as insurmountable as the Wailing Wall in the underworld from mythology.

Is Mary Geoise up here?

Otohime stood beside him, also gazing at the sky with expectant eyes.

Although both are mermaids, Otohime, as a female mermaid, is already over thirty years old, and her fishtail has split into two legs, allowing her to move freely on the shore.

As a male mermaid, Neptune didn't have this advantage; he had to obediently wear a bubble ring around his waist to float on the deck.

"It's right here."

Hina was leaning against the ship's railing protecting them at close range, said calmly, "We'll soon arrive at the base beneath the Red Line. From there, we can take a bubble ship to Mary Geoise, located at the top of the Red Line."

Neptune didn't speak, he just stared blankly.

Did Fisher Tiger free so many slaves by climbing this Red Line with his bare hands?

Only now have I truly realized how amazing Fisher Tiger is.

Soon, the escorting warships arrived at the base naval port beneath the Red Line.

Kuzan and his two companions escorted the couple off the ship.

Naturally, Neptune and Otohime's arrival caused a huge sensation.

"Are those the King and Queen of Fish-Man Island?"

"You're lying, she's just an ordinary woman."

"Idiot, female mermaids can develop legs by the age of thirty!"

"Are there still male mermaids? My mermaid dream is shattered!"

Even the naval soldiers stationed here couldn't help but discuss it amongst themselves.

Mermaids are extremely rare on the sea; Fish-Man can be seen occasionally, but mermaids are truly exceptionally rare.

"Yo ho!"

Neptune kept a straight face in the face of the onlookers, but Queen Otohime happily waved and greeted the soldiers.

Seemingly inspired by Otohime's enthusiasm, many soldiers also saluted her.

"Oh my, how enthusiastic!"

Vice Admiral Kuzan sighed.

"Queen Otohime is indeed a very warm-hearted person."

Smoker agreed, saying that although they hadn't known each other for very long, Smoker didn't dislike the mermaid queen.

Enthusiastic and full of energy.

"This might be a good start."

Hina said, "Eliminate human discrimination against Fish-Man and mermaids, alleviate the hatred of humans on Fish-Man Island, and allow the two groups to coexist peacefully."

"Is that so?"

Kuzan adjusted his small sunglasses, his tone enigmatic, "Will this really be a good start?"

Follow the road along the base to its end, and you'll find the base's airport.

From here you can take a bubble boat directly to Mary Geoise.

When Neptune and his wife arrived, several Kings were already waiting there.

"You've come at the perfect time, King Neptune, Queen Otohime."

The airport staff were already prepared and were quite familiar with the Neptune. They stepped forward and said, "A bubble boat is ready; you can ride with the other King."

Neptune nodded slowly.

The King of mankind?

The meeting is finally about to take place.

I'm a little nervous.

The biggest hope for this Reverie is to forge friendships with many human King, thereby slightly bridging the gap between Fish-Man Island and the human world.

We can't just leave the whole "Fish-Man Island embracing the Blue Sea" thing to Ian, can we?

That would be incredibly embarrassing.

Neptune mustered his courage and prepared to speak with the human King.

Otohime was already all smiles, ready to go up.

But.

"Tell them to get lost! I can smell the fish from this far away!!"

The shrill scream instantly chilled Neptune's blood.

Even Queen Otohime's smile faded slightly.

Several impeccably dressed King gathered together, their eyes filled with disdain as they looked at the couple. "What was the government thinking? Inviting two fish to a Reverie!"

"Yes, they only deserve to stay in the fish tanks of my palace!"

That's what they said.

Neptune's eyes widened in fury.

The muscles in his face were trembling.

If it weren't for the fact that these guys were all King of Affiliated Nation, he would have already shown them what the power of a Great Knight of the Sea was like.

But soon, Neptune became somewhat disheartened.

Was this decision to come really the right one?

Neptune suddenly felt the warmth of the hand.

He lowered his head, and his beloved wife looked up at him, her smile undiminished. She said, "It's just not them."

Neptune was slightly taken aback.

"Navy, what are you all standing there for?"

The King were still shouting, "Get them out of here! Do you want the smell of fish to taint the noses of your noble King?"

Smoker, who was known for his fiery temper, had a vein throbbing on his forehead.

However, before he could do anything, a voice came from behind him, "To insult someone you've just met for no reason, to arrogantly disrespect a King —I've never heard of such arrogance."

Neptune was slightly taken aback. Was this someone speaking up for them?

He turned around involuntarily.

A man approached quickly, escorted by naval personnel.

"Tsk!"

The King gathered together changed their expressions upon seeing the newcomer, their tone slightly wary, "Cobra!"

King Cobra of the Alabasta Kingdom walked up to the couple and nodded to them in a friendly manner. "If you don't mind, come and wait with me for the next bubble ship. It just so happens that I'm really curious about Fish-Man Island."

Neptune looked at Cobra.

Does it really exist?

A human King harbors no ill will towards them and is willing to communicate with them on an equal footing.

"Of course, no problem!"

Queen Otohime's smile was so radiant it was almost unbelievable.

The King, who had huddled together, couldn't help but sneer, "How depraved you've become, Cobra, to associate with two fish!"

"Would you like to experience the power of the fish you speak of?"

Neptune finally broke his silence, his massive tail suddenly lashing the ground, causing it to tremble violently and even cracking open in the earth.

The King turned pale instantly, and dared not linger any longer. They muttered under their breath as they entered the bubble boat and quickly closed the cabin door.

Cobra looked at Neptune with some surprise, then chuckled, "Am I being nosy?"

How could that be?

Neptune said sincerely, "I will never forget this kindness."

"This hardly qualifies as a favor."

Cobra laughed heartily, "If you really want to repay me, then give me a proper introduction to Fish-Man Island, shall we?"

"Sure."

The couple spoke in unison.

Kuzan a slight sigh of relief, thinking that a fight was about to break out as soon as he arrived.

The Neptune soon boarded the next bubble ship, and together with King Cobra from Alabasta, they sailed upwards.

After a brief conversation, Neptune confirmed that Cobra was indeed a gentle and kind King who held no prejudice against their Fish-Man Island -Fish-Man Island and was genuinely just curious about it.

He also enthusiastically introduced the Neptune to the couple about various matters during the Reverie, which gave the two country bumpkins a sudden sense of enlightenment.

Cobra even said he would introduce them to the other King.

"Don't worry,"

Cobra said, "My friends are all very enlightened King, and they are all like me, with absolutely no prejudice against Fish-Man Island."

The couple couldn't help but exchange a glance.

This trip seems like it was really worth it.

After passing through the sea of clouds and going upwards, you will finally be able to see the end of the Red Line.

Mary Geoise, we've arrived.

Is this Mary Geoise?

After exiting the airport, the group boarded Mary Geoise's automated road. They remained stationary, but the road beneath their feet carried them forward.

Otohime couldn't help but exclaim, "How amazing!"

"Right? You can't find this anywhere else!"

Cobra chuckled and said, "I was quite taken aback when I first came to Mary Geoise."

What exactly is the principle behind this?

Neptune, with a spirit of seeking truth, carefully examined the automated road.

"There must be huge machinery installed underneath, right?"

"That's what Cobra guessed," he said.

Lieutenant Vice Admiral Kuzan, who had escorted them all the way to Mary Geoise, pursed his lips.

He certainly knew what was propelling this automated road from below.

Ultimately, given the World Government's technological capabilities, developing truly automated roads would be a very simple matter.

Following the automated road forward, the huge white building soon came into view.

Pangu City, which is also the venue for this Reverie.

Not far away is the gathering place of the Celestial Dragons.

"Kuzan, you've done a great job!"

As they approached, someone greeted Vice Admiral Kuzan.

"Teacher Zephyr!"

Kuzan, Smoker, Hina simultaneously greeted the approaching man.

"Um."

Former Navy Admiral Black Arm Zeff nodded. "Go and rest. Garp, Sengoku, and Borsalino are all here."

The Reverie is the government's top priority held every four years, and the navy naturally has to send its main force to protect it.

"However, Fish-Man Island,"

Zephyr glanced at the Neptune, who were being guided by government staff to Pangu City with Cobra. His gaze was somewhat enigmatic. "Is this meeting ultimately a good thing for them, or—"

Wow! What a huge mermaid!

A somewhat simple, honest voice rang out.

Zephyr and Kuzan's expressions changed simultaneously.

Neptune looked at the approaching group with surprise.

A muscular man crawled on the ground, his face blank and his eyes vacant, as if he were just an empty shell.

On his back sat a man in a white robe with an oddly styled topknot, who was looking at him with shining eyes and waving at him incessantly.

However, this was certainly not a greeting.

"Quick! Grab him! I'm going to put him in my fish tank!!"

Before he could finish speaking, a group of men guarding him rushed forward, pointed their guns at the Neptune, and shouted at them not to move.

Another group of people had already skillfully pulled out shackles and ropes and were approaching Neptune.

Neptune was taken aback.

What's wrong?

His doubts did not prevent him from preparing to defend himself.

The strength of the Fish-Man Race is ten times that of humans, and among the Fish-Man, Neptune is considered a formidable fighter. He immediately clenched his fist.

But.

"No! Neptune! We can't disobey him!!"

Cobra screamed, "He's Celestial Dragons!"

Celestial Dragons!!

Neptune suddenly felt all the heat in his body vanish.

Even he knew that the Celestial Dragons were gods of this world, beings who were absolutely not to be offended!

If Celestial Dragons is offended, then Marine Admiral will be dispatched!

He could only watch helplessly as these people approached.

At that moment, Cobra took a deep breath and stepped forward to block Neptune's path.

The King of Alabasta was indeed a righteous man, and he proclaimed, "You Celestial Dragons! King Neptune was subjected to—"

He had only spoken half a sentence when a fierce guard struck him down with the butt of his rifle.

"..."

Kuzan's lips drooped.

Zephyr's eyes twitched.

Hina's chest heaved violently, and she was having difficulty breathing.

Smoker gritted his teeth and took a heavy step forward.

However, he didn't have time to do anything before the CP0 members in white robes guarding the Celestial Dragons looked over.

He simply said, "Mind your place, Navy."

Mr. Zephyr's trembling right hand grabbed Smoker's shoulder, his voice sounding like it was being squeezed out between clenched teeth.

"Do nothing, Smoker."

"But, Teacher Zephyr!"

Smoker was grinding his teeth to powder.

Neptune looked around blankly.

Cobra, who was willing to help them, has now been knocked to the ground.

The surrounding King avoided it as if it were a plague.

The navy also remained stationary.

What should we do now?

If they dare to resist, wouldn't the entire Fish-Man Island be affected?

Otohime held Neptune's hand, her body trembling slightly.

Indeed, they shouldn't have come in the first place.

However, it was at this time...

"Go back."

A cold voice suddenly came from behind the Celestial Dragons.

"Huh? Which bastard dares to talk to me like that?"

The Celestial Dragons turned around angrily, drawing his pistol as he did so, intending to blow that arrogant bastard's head off the moment he saw him.

But.

"Forehead!!"

The moment he truly saw the figure clearly, the Celestial Dragons froze, "You, you are--"

The Gorosei said, "Go back."

The man said indifferently.

"Hateful!"

To Neptune's astonishment, the supreme Celestial Dragons cursed angrily and immediately ordered his slave to run away in a flash.

Huh?

What's going on?

Neptune looked at the man with a somewhat bewildered expression.

The man merely gave Neptune a deep look, then turned and left without a backward glance.

All Neptune could see was the fluttering white hem of her dress.

"No way?"

Kuzan was somewhat incredulous. "That's—"

"The leader of CP0!"

Zephyr's expression turned grave. "The Gorosei's personal guards!"

Brub brub brub.

Just then, the Den Den Mushi (Den Den Mushi) rang.

Neptune instinctively pulled out Den Den Mushi.

"It's all taken care of."

A relaxed voice came from the other end of the phone, "Enjoy your Mary Geoise trip now, Neptune, and make lots of friends."

"..."

Neptune was taken aback. "Ian?"

I forgot to mention, Chapter 214 has been revised.
