See You Again, Garp

"Thank you, Lord Marco!"

Shirahoshi saw Gu Sheng wave to her, seemingly signaling for her to come closer. The mermaid princess had always trusted her benefactor, so she swished her tail over to Gu Sheng and thanked him.

"Shirahoshi, there are good people in this world, but there are also many bad ones."

Gu Sheng reached out his hand. Shirahoshi lowered her head and let his palm stroke her forehead. "Remember this: Queen Otohime's ideas weren't wrong. What's wrong is that this world has too many villains.

"You possess tremendous power. I know you used to be too timid to use it. But since you've chosen to walk beneath the sun, you must have the power to protect yourself and your friends.

"You're such a kind person. I believe you can use your power well, using it to protect your friends. When facing villains, you should deal with them like a violent wind sweeping away fallen leaves, so they can't continue doing evil and cause more tragedies."

"Lord Marco!"

Shirahoshi's large eyes were filled with admiration. Gu Sheng's words seemed to have unlocked some of the knots in her heart. A girl would always feel immense goodwill toward the person who had saved her, and Gu Sheng's words also seemed to point her toward the path she should take in life.

"You're being far too reckless! Do you know the consequences of offending the Celestial Dragons?"

CP0 Stussy pointed at Gu Sheng and roared, "Do you know what your actions will bring?"

"What will they bring? The deployment of a Marine Admiral? Heh..."

Unconcealed mockery appeared on Gu Sheng's face. He laughed so hard that his body trembled. "Do you think I'll be afraid of a Marine Admiral? That's truly hilarious!"

"How dare you... insult the gods—"
