Vander Decken's Failed Proposal

"Ugh... no, it's nothing."

Shirahoshi shook her head, feeling a little dizzy, and answered.

Although she wasn't seriously injured, falling unexpectedly into the shark's mouth still left Shirahoshi feeling a little dizzy.

Shirahoshi didn't seem to be acting strangely.

Lin Yan then nodded.

"Well... it seems there's no way to explain it now. Anyway, let's go back first. I'll handle Neptune's situation."

Looking helplessly at the Fish-Men around her who, despite being some distance away, continued to stare in her direction, Lin Yan shook her head.

After all, she is the princess of Fish-Man Island.

It's only natural to receive attention.

And even if she isn't a princess.

The sheer size of Shirahoshi is truly a spectacle.

"Uh-huh,"

Shirahoshi responded, clearly feeling uncomfortable with the current situation, and immediately agreed upon hearing Lin Yan's words.

However, just as Shirahoshi was about to set off with Lin Yan...

A sudden commotion arose not far from the square.

"Um?"

Lin Yan's senses were incredibly sharp; almost the instant the commotion began, she looked in the direction of the sound source.

Immediately, an amused expression appeared on his face.

"I see... so they acted ahead of schedule?"

As soon as Lin Yan finished speaking, the Fish-Men roared in panic all around.

"Humans?! Why are there humans here?!"

"Quickly! Guard the city gate!"

"Damn humans, how did you even get in?!"

"..."

Everyone's expression changed drastically.

Have humans infiltrated Fish-Man Island?

Realizing this, all the Fish-Men couldn't help but tremble.

Even Shirahoshi's expression changed drastically, and she wanted to rush towards the palace regardless of everything, but Lin Yan grabbed her arm.

"Calm down, Shirahoshi. They're just small fry."

Lin Yan looked at Shirahoshi's anxious expression with a sense of helplessness.

The current situation is beyond doubt.

I guess it's because of the time I threw the axe back.

This made two people feel threatened and they couldn't hold back any longer.

In other words, it seems that the Fish-Man Island storyline from the original work has officially begun.

But it doesn't really matter...

As mentioned before.

Fish-Man Island is the territory of the Whitebeard Pirates.

How can we allow small fish and shrimp to jump around here?

Besides dealing with the Sea King, Lin Yan also intended to resolve the issue of these two menaces during her visit to Fish-Man Island.

Seeing this scene at that moment.

Lin Yan stated that she is in stable condition.

"But..."

Shirahoshi seemed to want to say something, but before the girl could speak, a pretentious voice suddenly came from not far away.

"Shirahoshi, it's been a long time."

"..."

Even Lin Yan showed a look of disgust.

The guy not far away was dressed in a very typical pirate outfit, wearing a small top hat and sporting a mustache, looking every bit the gentleman.

But his eyes were utterly disgusting.

Upon seeing this person, Shirahoshi immediately showed a look of terror on her face.

"You... who are you?!"

"That's right, that's right, my dear Princess Shirahoshi Vander Decken IX. I apologize for disturbing you, but actually I've come to propose... Pfft?!"

Seeing that Shirahoshi recognized him, Vander Decken wore a smug expression.

Then he immediately prepared to propose to Shirahoshi, whom he had been pursuing for ten years.

Before he could finish speaking...

Suddenly, I saw a foot growing bigger and bigger in front of me...

Boom----!

There was absolutely no ability to resist, accompanied by a roar and Vander Decken's miserable howl.

Lin Yan kicked the guy squarely in the face.

Climb!

Poor Vander Decken instantly turned into a shooting star in the sky.

I don't know if that's how he died.

After doing all this, Lin Yan even rubbed her shoes on the ground with a hint of disgust, as if Vander Decken's face was something dirty.

Fish-Man Island crew:...

Shirahoshi:...

No, is Lady Lin Yan really this irritable?

It looks painful!

The surrounding Fish-Men swallowed hard, instinctively putting distance between themselves and Lin Yan.

After all, everyone had seen how Vander Decken had been sent flying, so no one would dare to provoke Lin Yan now.

After a brief moment of stunned silence, Shirahoshi...

He subconsciously and quietly tugged at Lin Yan's sleeve.

"Haa..."

Shirahoshi didn't know what was wrong with her. She had only tugged at Lin Yan's sleeve, but she immediately felt an immense sense of security and couldn't help but let out a soft breath.

In Shirahoshi's eyes.

Lin Yan kicked Vander Decken away.

It's already my own guardian angel.

Even the panic that had gripped them earlier due to the appearance of humans had inexplicably subsided.

Lin Yan didn't notice Shirahoshi's unusual behavior.

Feeling a tug on her sleeve, Lin Yan turned around and saw that Shirahoshi had calmed down, so she couldn't help but smile softly.

"You've calmed down a bit more?"

"Hmm... but what do we do next?"

Shirahoshi nodded heavily first, then looked at Lin Yan with some worry and asked.

Upon hearing Shirahoshi's question.

Lin Yan stroked her chin and pondered for a moment before slowly speaking.

"Back to the Hard-Shell Tower!"

This is undoubtedly a rather counterintuitive decision.

Logically speaking, it is the Fish-Man Island's royal city that is in crisis now, and it seems that those humans are about to open the royal city gates, but Lin Yan pulled Shirahoshi to the Hard-Shell Tower instead.

Generally speaking, shouldn't we prioritize rescuing the royal city at this point?

If it were a typical girl, she would have argued back at this point.

However, Shirahoshi completely trusts Lin Yan.

So after hearing Lin Yan's suggestion, Shirahoshi nodded without hesitation, then took Lin Yan in his arms and swam quickly towards his home.

There was absolutely no doubt.

Seeing this, Lin Yan nodded in satisfaction.

The journey was uneventful, and soon Lin Yan and Shirahoshi arrived at the Hard-Shell Tower.

"Lin Yan, you really are here!"

No sooner had the two arrived than Neptune, accompanied by Fisher Tiger, Jinbe, and a group of elite Fish-Men, arrived to Shirahoshi's somewhat surprised gaze.

It seems that being lucky is worse than being early.

Upon seeing Lin Yan and Shirahoshi standing at the door, Neptune's expression immediately lit up with joy.

Without hesitation, he waved and called out to Lin Yan.

When Shirahoshi noticed that Neptune Xing was holding Lin Yan, his expression immediately became extremely strange.

"Shirahoshi... why are you out here?"
