Jinbe didn't stand on ceremony and started gnawing on a grilled fish.
Ace, seeing Jinbe eating with his mouth full of oil, couldn't help but ask,
"Huh? Fish-Man can eat fish too?"
Jinbe paused, wiped his mouth, and mumbled,
"Of course you can eat it. Mermaids don't eat fish."
Ace was quite interested in Fish-Man Island, and he and Jinbe chatted back and forth. The two got along very well, and after dinner, they even started calling each other brothers.
Senga snapped his fingers, and the trash on the ground vanished instantly. Everyone patted their slightly bloated stomachs and then left one after another.
On the morning of Shirahoshi's birthday, Senga's personal warship, Six Paths Reincarnation, was already docked at the harbor.
The Six Paths Reincarnation is more like a mobile luxury palace than a warship; its exterior alone is breathtakingly magnificent.
Once Senga and the other naval leaders boarded the ship, it immediately set sail.
Although the ship looks very bulky, it moves surprisingly fast. As Senga's personal warship, it naturally has to be the best in every way, inside and out.
No one would say it's a waste, because everyone knows that the ship belongs to Senga.
Before noon, the Six Paths Reincarnation had already arrived at Fish-Man Island. Sengoku stood on the deck, looking at the Fish-Man Island floating on the sea, and sighed.
"It's unbelievable. I never imagined that Fish-Man Island, which was once 10,000 meters underwater, would one day appear on the surface of the sea."
Ace and the others, who were unfamiliar with the history of Fish-Man Island, couldn't help but ask about it. When they learned that Fish-Man Island was brought up by Senga, they were immediately amazed.
While they were still stunned, deafening cheers erupted from below.
Upon closer inspection, everyone discovered that the shore was already packed with a dense crowd of Fish-Man Island residents, and some royal soldiers were struggling to maintain order.
Neptune led the princes to stand at the front of the crowd, while Shirahoshi stood alone at the very front, her hands clasped in front of her chest, her eyes filled with anticipation as she looked up at the Six Paths Reincarnation.
Under the watchful eyes of the crowd, a large number of headquarters naval personnel poured out of the ships, quickly forming a human tunnel.
When Senga appeared at the end of the passage, the atmosphere exploded once again. Countless Mermaid race girls screamed wildly, while the soldiers responsible for maintaining order were covered in sweat.
They also wanted to turn back and admire the king's splendor, but the enthusiasm of the crowd was simply too high. If they were to inadvertently create a loophole, the whole situation would immediately descend into chaos.
Luffy, who was following behind, was still talking stupidly.
"What a grand scene! Is it to welcome us?"
Sabo, standing to the side, shook his head and said in a low voice,
"This has nothing to do with us; they are welcoming the king."
As they were talking, Neptune and the others arrived in front of Senga. Although he was the king of Fish-Man Island Senga, he immediately prostrated himself before Senga, the true king, and bowed deeply to him in front of all his subjects.
Shirahoshi stared blankly at her father and brother's actions, her pink fishtail curving slightly, as if she wanted to learn to bow as well.
Senga suddenly waved his hand, and a strong gust of wind swept by, lifting Neptune and the others off the ground.
He smiled and looked at Shirahoshi, and said,
"Today is Shirahoshi's birthday, so there's no need for these formalities. We're just here as guests."
Neptune mentally prepared his words, about to speak, when Shirahoshi rushed towards Senga.
"Lord Senga!"
Shirahoshi is now nearly twelve meters tall, making even Senga, who is three meters tall, look like a dwarf in his presence.
She suddenly thrust Senga into the softness of her breasts, a scene that made the eyebrows of the navy men behind her twitch wildly.
Aokiji pushed up the eye patch on his forehead and said with envy,
"Oh my, are all the ladies on Fish-Man Island this enthusiastic?"
Akainu crossed his arms and mumbled,
"Don't overthink it, their enthusiasm is only directed at Fleet Admiral Purple Kirin!"
Kizaru craned his neck and said with a look of surprise,
"Oh~ Can Fleet Admiral Purple Kirin still breathe? He looks like he's in a lot of pain!"
Zephyr rolled his eyes and whispered,
"You don't know anything! You'll understand once you find a female monkey!"
Senga enjoyed the facial cleanser treatment, then broke free from Shirahoshi's embrace and said with a smile,
"Shirahoshi has grown taller and even more beautiful."
Shirahoshi is now an adult, and since she's no longer confined to the tower, she's naturally more mature than in the original timeline.
Hearing Senga's praise, her face flushed slightly, and she said shyly,
"Really? But I've always been bothered by my height. I'm a bit too tall, and it's inconvenient for me in many situations..."
There's nothing that can be done about it; you're bound to inherit at least one trait from your father: looks or height.
Shirahoshi should be thankful that she didn't inherit either of these traits; if she had taken after Neptune in appearance... well, you can look at her brothers for an example.
However, height is nothing to Senga, whose other identity is the Dragon God, and there is almost no wish in this world that he cannot fulfill.
Upon hearing this, Senga reached out and placed her hand on Shirahoshi's smooth, pink fishtail. A golden light appeared, and to everyone's astonishment, Shirahoshi's size gradually shrank until she was about the same size as Senga.
Shirahoshi stared blankly at the buildings around her that had grown much larger, until she realized she had shrunk. She gasped in surprise and threw herself into Senga's arms.
"Lord Senga, this is amazing! I really have shrunk!"
Shirahoshi tilted her head back. Because of her smaller size, her already stunningly beautiful face became even more exquisite. In her large, light blue eyes, two contradictory feelings, innocence and allure, intertwined, exuding a captivating charm.
Fortunately, Senga had enough composure. He gently pushed Shirahoshi away and whispered,
"You're not a child anymore. You need to learn to be more reserved, especially around the opposite sex!"
Shirahoshi nodded obediently and said,
"Don't worry, Lord Senga. I've learned a lot from Sister Shyarly and know how to protect myself. But if it's you, Lord Senga, I don't think you need to worry about these things!"
As she spoke, Shirahoshi lowered her head slightly, as if she didn't dare to meet Senga's gaze.
Senga didn't think too much about it. A smile appeared on his face as he said,
"That's good. Oh, by the way, I've prepared a birthday present for you, but you have to promise me you won't cry later!"
