Otohime, the Powerful Observation Haki

"You've finally arrived."

Not long after they disembarked, a group of people rushed over. The man at the head of the group ran up to Ye Chen and Borsalino, his expression one of unprecedented excitement and joy—a sense of relief and security after surviving a disaster.

Looking at the thin, tearful guy in front of him, Ye Chen frowned and glanced at Borsalino.

"He is Saint Mjosgard." Perhaps sensing Ye Chen's question, Borsalino showed no respect and directly revealed the identity of the man before him.

It's unclear what Saint Mjosgard went through, but he didn't reprimand Borsalino for his rudeness. If it were before, even if he didn't fly into a rage and give a haughty reprimand, he would at least look down on them with disdain. But now, he just looked at Ye Chen and Borsalino with the joy of having grasped a lifeline.

"You must be God and Kizaru sent by the Sengoku! Let's leave here quickly. I will reward you handsomely when we return to the Holy Land."

Impatiently, Saint Mjosgard looked at Ye Chen and Borsalino.

"Explain this to me."

Ye Chen glanced at it briefly, then brushed past and walked towards the back of Saint Mjosgard.

"Our warships need to be recoated; we'll have to wait overnight before we can set sail tomorrow morning."

Borsalino held the back of his head with both hands and offered a brief explanation.

"Can't we hurry up?" Saint Mjosgard didn't want to waste any more time; all he wanted now was to get back to Mary Geoise.

"Sure, if you want to die at sea."

Borsalino's words made Saint Mjosgard's face turn green, and he immediately abandoned the idea. He had been shipwrecked and nearly lost his life, so he had a deep fear of the deep sea.

"Then let's make it clear!"

Ye Chen didn't bother listening to Borsalino and Saint Mjosgard's conversation, because his gaze was fixed on the four people in front of him.

The leader was a Merfolk mermaid who wore a crown, was more robust than the average Merfolk, had thick, fluffy orange-red hair and beard, flame-like tattoos on his arms, and was covered in thick body hair.

Beside him was a beautiful woman with long, wavy blonde hair, blue eyes, orange hair accessories, and a long robe with a fish-scale pattern.

As expected, this should be King Neptune and Queen Otohime of Fish-Man Island.

Beside Neptune, Ye Chen also saw a familiar figure, Fisher Tiger, whom he had met when Calm Belt.

Standing next to Fisher Tiger was a Whale Shark Fish-Man, large in stature with two large teeth in his lower jaw, who looked exactly like the future Shichibukai Jinbe in his youth.

"Greetings, Vice Admiral God of the Navy."

With a bow, King Neptune took the lead in expressing goodwill.

"Hello." One shouldn't hit a smiling face, Ye Chen nodded indifferently.

"Let me introduce you to God, this is my Queen Otohime." Neptune gestured, introducing Otohime who was standing beside him.

"Greetings, Vice Admiral God." With a gentle smile, Queen Otohime extended her hand to Ye Chen.

Looking at the white, grimy fingers, Ye Chen remained expressionless, and he reached out his hand as well, and the two clasped hands.

But the moment she grasped it, Queen Otohime, who had been smiling, suddenly froze, her blue eyes filled with pain and fear.

Despair, wails, and pleas filled Queen Otohime's mind. "Save me, save me! I don't want to be here! I was wrong! It hurts so much! It hurts so much! Mom and Dad, I don't want to leave you! I want to go home!"

The weeping, as if abandoned by the whole world, the endless torment, was heart-wrenching; that desperate, helpless cry brought tears to Queen Otohime's eyes.

But suddenly, that struggling, desperate sound vanished, replaced by destruction, darkness, and madness.

"Hahaha, you all deserve to die! You all deserve to die! Everyone deserves to die!"

Endless resentment, slaughter, and brutality, like a demon, revealing destruction; this voice is devoid of emotion, containing only cold-bloodedness, morbidity, loss of reason, and rampant ferocity.

The immense shock, like a mountain of corpses and a sea of blood, filled Queen Otohime's entire being.

This man was in despair, but a devil resided within him.

The sudden breakup caused Queen Otohime to Backslide two steps, tears streaming down her face, but her eyes were filled with panic.

"Otohime, are you alright?!"

Beside her, Neptune supported Otohime, his expression somewhat worried.

Neptune was well aware of his wife's abilities; the fact that she could make Otohime lose her composure like this meant that the voice in the man's heart was incredibly powerful.

As the queen of Fish-Man Island, Otohime was born with "Observation Haki" and could hear the inner thoughts of others. She could even change a person's thoughts and emotions through her speeches. This kind of talent is rarer than the one Conqueror's Haki user among millions.

This kind of endowment is also a type of Observation Haki, belonging to the deepest level of that ability. Just from this point alone, it can be seen that Queen Otohime's Observation Haki has reached an unimaginable level.

Tiger's gaze was somewhat strange as he looked at the frightened Queen Otohime, because he knew of Queen Otohime abilities and that Queen Otohime had never lost her composure like this before.

"I'm fine." Supporting Neptune's hand, Otohime gave Ye Chen a slightly apologetic look. "Sorry, I lost my composure."

Narrowing his eyes, Ye Chen instantly recalled the wild guesses made by those beasts in the group chat: this woman was not to be underestimated.

"Ahem, Vice Admiral God, let me continue introducing you to this gentleman beside me."

"No need for introductions, I've met him once." Ye Chen glanced at Tiger, who in turn nodded to Neptune.

"And this one?"

"His name is Jinbe, he's easy to recognize." Without waiting for Neptune to introduce him, Ye Chen said Jinbe's name, which made the latter pause for a moment.

"This is our minister from Fish-Man Island."

"No need for introductions, just show me around! I've never been to Fish-Man Island before." Ye Chen interrupted Neptune again, too lazy to meet any of the people.

It was a little awkward, but Neptune covered it up well and gave a word of advice to one of the guards of the Ryugu Palace.

At the same time, Ye Chen looked at Borsalino and said, "I'll leave him to you. I'm just wandering around."

Without waiting for Borsalino's reply, Ye Chen left. The guard from before quickly followed. As for Bai Doudou, well, sorry, she became a missing person as soon as she got off the ship.

"Damn it." Borsalino's face darkened as he watched Ye Chen leave so casually.

Strolling along the streets, the pavilions and towers, so different from human-made architecture, struck Ye Chen as quite novel at first glance.

The streets were filled with all sorts of creatures, from beautiful Merfolk to burly or ferocious Fish-Man.

Ye Chen ignored the male Fish-Man and instead focused his attention on the beautiful and sexy Merfolk.

This world is truly amazing. Putting aside her perfect face, her slender, curvaceous figure alone made Ye Chen's eyes light up. Not to mention, it was this Merfolk allure.

Desire is something every man has, except for a few abnormal men, of course. Ye Chen, however, was able to suppress the restlessness in his heart. If it was just a matter of venting, he wouldn't care, but he wouldn't deliberately seek it out either.

He didn't know when it started, but walking down the street, he was surrounded by intense hostility and disgust. Ye Chen didn't care about these looks. Even if he was ignorant, he knew that Fish-Man Island had no goodwill towards humans.
