Ryugu Palace was the royal city of Fish-Man Island, and therefore its most luxurious place. Following Queen Otohime, the group hurried all the way to Ryugu Palace. When so many pirates appeared within the palace, King Neptune was genuinely startled. However, after hearing Otohime's explanation, Neptune finally calmed down. He had thought a pirate army was trying to seize Fish-Man Island. Hearing that Mirai would become Fish-Man Island's protector in the future, Neptune merely smiled and said nothing more. After ordering his subordinates to prepare a great quantity of food and wine, the banquet began as scheduled!
"Otohime, you were too impulsive. You brought so many pirates into Ryugu Palace without any precautions. What if they harbored ill intentions? It's not like you don't know what pirates are like!"
After eating and drinking with Mirai and the others for a while, Neptune called Otohime to another part of the palace and began reprimanding her. Peaceful coexistence with humans had been an unrealistic dream that had been shattered countless times since centuries ago. Still, Otohime insisted on it, and Neptune could not say much. But this time, Otohime had openly brought so many pirates into Ryugu Palace, and that truly worried him.
"Neptune, you don't understand what happened then. Those two may be pirates, but they are not the greedy sort. I once promised to give Mirai Uchiha a portion of our treasure, but he refused. He only asked us to build them a large ship. Do you think a pirate who does not care about treasure would capture us fish-men for money? Besides, he is incredibly powerful. With ease, he created a gigantic stone sphere a thousand meters in diameter and imprisoned all twenty thousand humans inside it. After the banquet, I hope you will personally go to Coral Hill
