Neptune's Perfect Logic Loop
Confuse!
Shock!
Incredible!
Bristle!
A murderous intent was palpable!
In just a few seconds, Neptune's expression changed like a dye vat, making people marvel at how expressive a Fish-Men could be.
The face-changing skill is so exquisite.
Then the next second...
"Who! Who is it?! Which bastard dares to deceive my daughter, Neptune's daughter?! I will not let that scoundrel get away with this today!"
Neptune was furious.
This is absolutely outrageous!
How could you do that?!
Looking at the shy Shirahoshi in front of him, Neptune felt his sanity was about to evaporate, and he wished he could drag out the guy who tricked Shirahoshi and beat him up right away.
Die, die!
Government Affairs?
With things like this, what's the point of managing government affairs?!
I'm going to chop him up right now!
Neptune's face was flushed red, and he looked like a volcano about to erupt, which showed just how furious he was.
But in front of his most beloved daughter, Neptune still managed to lower his voice and asked in a soft voice.
"Shirahoshi, what exactly happened? Which scoundrel... cough, which young talent came to your place to propose marriage?"
Neptune almost let it slip, and quickly corrected himself.
But I still unconsciously emphasized the phrase "young talent".
Good!
That's great!
That's impressive! I really like it!
Fortunately, Shirahoshi, who was feeling shy, didn't realize that her father's tone was quite strange. Instead, she shrank back a little in embarrassment.
This further enraged Neptune.
He's not a proper son!
Suppressing the rage that threatened to consume his reason, Neptune barely managed to calm himself, preparing to wait for Shirahoshi to reveal that guy's name.
Then go to his house and kill him right away!
The kind of thing even the King of Uranus couldn't stop!
Most people would probably have realized something was wrong by now, right?
However, Shirahoshi was too naive and was still in a shy state, so she failed to notice the fury in her father's tone.
Instead, when Neptune questioned him, he innocently added fuel to the fire.
"Father, my dear father, after careful consideration, I am willing..."
Boom-----!
You scoundrel, die!!!
Neptune instantly exploded, his forced composure completely crumbling, and he almost gritted his teeth as he questioned Shirahoshi.
"Who... is it?!"
"Eh? That, that's Lin Yan... Lin Yan just proposed to me."
Seeing Neptune's contorted expression, even Shirahoshi sensed something was amiss, but the girl still honestly told the truth.
"..."
Neptune was instantly stunned.
How could it possibly be Lin Yan?!
Neptune instinctively wanted to shake his head. After all, he had seen Lin Yan's character and strength firsthand; she shouldn't be the kind of person who would do such a thing, right?
However, as everyone knows...
Neptune carefully recalled all of Lin Yan's actions after entering Fish-Man Island, and then, as if realizing something, he suddenly slapped his thigh.
"So that's it! This is your real purpose!"
"I misjudged! I misjudged!"
Neptune was heartbroken.
I knew something was off!
No wonder that he, as the fifth emperor of the sea, a figure who almost ruled the world, cared so much about Fish-Man Island, and even saved Fish-Man Island from danger twice.
So, his real intention wasn't what he seemed to be after!
The claim that Fish-Man Island is Whitebeard Pirates territory is a complete fabrication!
The real purpose was to seduce Shirahoshi!
I see, that makes perfect sense now.
Neptune's logic forms an impeccable closed loop.
But even so.
Unforgivable!
Let's put this aside for now. It's true that Lin Yan is a hero of Fish-Man Island, but how could he rush to propose after only knowing Shirahoshi for such a short time?
This is absolutely unacceptable!
You two should spend at least some more time together!
Pshaw! I kept the lights off!
Thinking this, Neptune abruptly stood up, his expression slightly somber, making it impossible to discern his true feelings.
Neptune stared at Shirahoshi with Shirahoshi.
"Come on, let's go see Lin Yan."
The tone left no room for argument.
Shirahoshi had no idea what had happened, but seeing that her father seemed very angry, she could only obediently nod.
It's just unknown whether Neptune realized this.
His mood has now shifted from rage to simple anger.
The implication here is...
ummmmm
It's hard to say.
Neptune immediately abandoned his unfinished work and left the palace with Shirahoshi.
Meanwhile, on the other side...
Lin Yan was enjoying her hotpot and singing, carefree and relaxed, completely unaware that a huge black pot was about to fall from the sky.
I was sitting at home when trouble came down on me.
That's roughly what happened.
"Call..."
At this moment, Lin Yan was lying comfortably in a rocking chair, with no one around her, looking completely relaxed.
Evening breeze, beer, and crayfish—that's life!
Although there are no crayfish or beer now, and no evening breeze whatsoever, all I have is a cold drink, a specialty of Fish-Man Island.
But it's not a big problem!
Lin Yan, lying in the rocking chair, appeared unusually relaxed.
However, this leisurely period was destined not to last long.
"Um?"
At a certain moment, Lin Yan suddenly frowned without warning, and then her figure flashed, instantly leaving the chair.
Boom----!
The next second, the chair he had just been lying on was shattered into pieces by the iron fist.
"..."
Lin Yan frowned slightly as she looked at the two people who had barged in.
What are you doing?
Lin Yan looked at Neptune and asked.
After all, to be honest, I have no grudge against you, right?
And what's with that angry look on your face?
Lin Yan was completely baffled, her mind filled with questions.
Seeing Lin Yan's puzzled expression, Neptune couldn't help but laugh in exasperation.
"You're asking me what I'm doing!"
"That's not what you said when you confessed your feelings and proposed to Shirahoshi!"
Neptune glared angrily at Lin Yan.
"Couldn't you have waited a little longer?! You've only known each other for a day! How could you do this?!"
"..."
Lin Yan:??????
