Faced with Neptune who was eager to save his father, Dimon fulfilled his wish.
He touched the heads of the little mermaids beside him and said with a smile:
"Come again next time, your coffee and cakes are delicious."
"You must come next time, Lord Dimon~"
A group of little mermaids are reluctant to leave.
After saying goodbye to Otohime, Dimon followed Neptune to the Dragon Palace.
Dragon Palace is located at the top of Fishman Island. You need to ride a giant flounder to get there. This traffic fish has large bubbles on its back. Passengers can breathe in the bubbles without worrying about drowning in the sea water.
Through the entrance at the top of Fishman Island, the group quickly arrived in front of the Dragon Palace.
This underwater castle is mainly made of large corals, shells and other materials. There is a dragon statue entrenched above the palace, which looks magnificent and majestic.
Arriving at the Dragon Palace, Neptune took out two short coral branches and handed them to the two of them. This was a prop that looked pink and was about one palm long.
"This is called 'Coral Bubble'. Press the top of it to spray bubbles around you."
The two took the props and did as they were told. Two bubbles immediately emerged from the coral, gradually getting larger as they were pressed, and finally completely enveloping Dimon and Roger.
With it, you can move around in the sea.
"A convenient prop, why didn't you give me one last time?" Roger played with Coral Bubble in his hand.
Dimon should enter the sea first. At the gate of the Dragon Palace, there is also a layer of bubbles blocking the sea water.
After passing through the bubble curtain, the two bubbles collide and merge with each other. When you actually step into the Dragon Palace, it is a waterless space where humans can move around at will.
Neptune ignored Roger and said anxiously, "Mr. Dimon, please come here, I will take you to see my father!"
After that, he said to a minister who came to greet him, "Go to the treasure house and get the Devil Fruit that we found some time ago."
"Yes, Your Highness Neptune."
The minister immediately took the order and left.
It is no secret that the old king's life is approaching. After His Highness learned about the existence of Elixir of Immortality, he has been thinking of ways to extend the old king's life.
Dimon chuckled, "Neptune, think about it, Elixir of Immortality will make people immortal. Once your father drinks it, you don't know how long it will take to become the king."
Neptune shook his head, "I hope that my father will survive. As for the position of the king, my father's abilities are above mine. It is everyone's expectation that he can always manage Fishman Island!"
Dutiful son.
A filial son in a positive sense.
Dimon thought to himself that in front of the throne, many people cannot do this. They wish that their biological father would die soon so that they could succeed to the throne.
So, he smiled and said:
"Then you can rest assured. As long as he is still breathing, the moment he drinks the wine, your father will not be able to die even if he wants to."
Soon, the group arrived at the king's palace.
King Saturn looks like a giant grouper Fish-Man, but his son Neptune is actually a coelacanth Fish-Man.
This is not because his wife cuckolded him, but because the genetic pattern of Merfolk is special.
What kind of mermaid the child will be depends on the "distant ancestral genes" shared by both parents.
For example, the future children of Neptune and Otohime, the eldest son is Sharkman, the second son is Oarfishman, the third son is Sunfishman, and the daughter Shiraboshi is Giant Oarfishman.
Dimon was quite curious about this point before traveling through time, and I went out of my way to learn about it at that time, so it is still fresh in my memory.
Observing the old king at this time, Saturn did not seem to be too old to walk, but Observation Haki's aura was very weak, as if he had been seriously injured.
"Neptune..."
On the bed, the old king Saturn said in a hoarse voice, "Are there any guests?"
"Yes, father, this is winemaker Dimon. You can drink Elixir of Immortality soon. I won't let you die!"
Neptune spoke solemnly, and then explained to Dimon:
"My father actually had a few more years to live, but pirates were rampant not long ago. My father stepped in to stop the pirates from wreaking havoc on the island, and he was severely injured, which is why he became like this now."
When the old king heard Elixir of Immortality, he was not very excited. Instead, he persuaded his son:
"I am already old, there is no point in drinking, but you are still young, Neptune, it is time for you to drink the wine, and you will lead Fishman Island to continue on the road."
"Father!"
Neptune is anxious.
Dimon smiled, "One Devil Fruit and a glass of wine, can you just prepare a few more fruits?"
Neptune nodded and said, "Mr. Dimon is right, I am still young and will have many opportunities in the future, but your situation is already very dangerous!"
The old king said nothing more.
After a while, the minister fetched a treasure box, and Neptune handed the treasure box to Dimon.
After opening it, there was indeed a Devil Fruit inside, which was another fruit that was not recorded in the illustrated book.
After Dimon accepted it, he presented a bottle of Elixir of Immortality on the spot, poured out a cup and handed it to Neptune.
"Here you go, along with this..."
With that said, he took out another piece of paper and handed it to Neptune, "This is my contact information. When you want to make the next transaction, you can contact this number."
"Thank you very much!"
Neptune excitedly took the wine and walked to the bedside to feed his old father in person.
After taking the first sip of wine, only a few seconds passed, and the old king's complexion recovered visibly, and the original weak breath disappeared, and he lived his second life like Withered Tree in spring.
"This... what a magical wine!" Old King Saturn slowly stood up from the bed with a shocked look on his face.
Dimon A reminder: "It just makes you immortal. You are already older, it will not make you younger."
After saying that, he turned around and left. "The transaction is over, withdrawn, Roger."
"Wait a minute," Saturn shouted quickly, "You are my savior, Mr. Dimon, please stay and let me entertain you well, Neptune, hurry up and prepare the highest-level banquet."
"No need."
Dimon waved his hand and left without looking back.
Not being a good-looking mermaid, he had no interest in dining with an old man.
Roger laughed and said, "We should be on this island these days. Goodbye, Neptune."
With that said, he left with Dimon.
Seeing this, the old king couldn't help but sigh, "He is indeed a legendary winemaker, Neptune. Please entertain them both well during this time."
"I will, father!"
Neptune had a smile on his face. Seeing that his old father could survive and continue to live, he felt happy from the bottom of his heart.
For him, this kind of kindness cannot be offset by a mere Devil Fruit.
For the next week, Dimon spent time wandering around Fishman Island, eating, drinking and having fun.
Neptune is like a follower. No matter where he goes, he must follow him. He is also responsible for introducing local attractions and paying for all expenses.
With such enthusiasm, Dimon can't drive him away, so some special projects cannot be experienced.
It's a pity, it's a pity, you know, there is no reproductive isolation between Merfolk and humans.
I wanted to take Roger to experience it, but I couldn't do it this time.
This is all for Roger!
On this day, Mermaid Cafe of Otohime.
"Why do you look so disappointed?" Roger couldn't help but ask.
Dimon glanced at him and calmly took a sip of the strong coffee, "If you want to blame it, blame it on Neptune."
Roger:"???"
