On the Eve (2)
Read the best completed novels on [Completed Novel Website]:
People came and went, and following Reiju's command, people from all directions of the country began to head towards the Divine City.
Each time Grand Assembly is held, the country becomes more lively than ever before. For example, right now, the country is already overflowing with people just beyond the three Divine City, bustling with noise as if it were a festival.
Places like Gran Tesoro, Lovers' Street, Mermaid Street, Rogue Rabbit Amusement Park, and the Sea Airship were almost all packed to capacity.
After all, many ministers bring their families or subordinates when they come to the country, and some come simply for tourism. You know, the scenery of this country is not called a fairyland on earth for nothing. Just the pavilions and towers floating in mid-air, the mountains and rivers are breathtaking.
The intricate train tracks stop every minute, with ministers arriving every second. Those who are nearby arrive quickly, while those who are far away are still on their way.
Walking along the official road, some ministers arrived in the Divine City via an automatic elevator, and were then led to their residences by special personnel.
Before the Grand Assembly was held, these ministers who arrived early were free, along with many clan chiefs who were away from the capital.
At the edge of the special coastline, a massive pirate crew suddenly emerged from the sea.
"Princess."
The soldiers guarding the coastline knelt on one knee as they looked at the girl in the blue princess dress at the head of the group.
"Don't make such a big fuss, everyone get up!"
Seeing the gazes directed at her from all around, Ying Qing's face remained cold.
"Yes."
"King Neptune, there are still a few days until the Grand Assembly. You can take Shirahoshi and the others on a tour of the country."
Surrounded by blue flames, Sakura slowly rose into the air.
"Thank you, Princess Sakura."
Not daring to be negligent in the slightest, Neptune bowed respectfully.
"Shirahoshi, I'll stay with you a little longer. See you tonight."
"Knew."
With a wave of her hand, Sakura transformed into a blue light and vanished into thin air.
Rob Lucci had nothing around him; he tore open space with his hands and stepped inside.
"King Neptune, I'll return to the God's Island first. Someone will be there to receive you."
Jinbe couldn't stay either; he knew what was important and what wasn't.
"Go! Don't worry about us."
Neptune was not worried about the country's security at all, and planned to take a stroll before heading to Mermaid Street, which was their Merfolk territory.
After saying goodbye, Jinbe took to the air and flew towards the God's Island.
"Brother, let's go out and play!"
Impatient, Shirahoshi, along with Manboshi and Ryuboshi, prepared to leave the port.
"Father."
Ryuboshi and Manboshi looked at Neptune with helpless expressions.
"Let's go. Sharkstar and Shirahoshi have both been here before." He sighed. In the past two years, Sharkstar had come to the country once on behalf of Fish-Man Island. As for Shirahoshi, she had been saved by Ye Chen, for which Neptune had lost a favor, which had pained him for a long time.
Leaving the coastline, a vibrant and bustling scene unfolds before everyone.
The squad of generals following Neptune and his men was automatically ignored, as there was a Sculpture Soldiers at regular intervals on both sides of the street.
"Hey! Isn't this Merfolk? Look at this hair clip, it suits you perfectly. I also have many other pieces of jewelry here, honest and fair."
At this moment, a Longarm Tribe looked at Shirahoshi and the others, and his eyes instantly lit up. He had found a business opportunity. After all, the Merfolk were known for their generosity, and all kinds of rare treasures were very valuable.
Of course, Merfolk are more valuable in themselves, but no one in the country dares to challenge the law.
"Oh, the Merfolk is here! Come and see my dresses, they're made of silk, all handmade."
Walking down the street, Shirahoshi and his companions immediately became popular, with business owners from various races coming out to promote their products.
Neptune was a little nervous at first, but then he breathed a sigh of relief; there was indeed no discrimination here.
"Brother, look! Those are candied hawthorns! Sakura brought me a few skewers last time, they were so delicious! They're only available in the country!"
Shirahoshi pulled Manboshi away from the crowd, staring at the strangely shaped red fruit in front of her, swallowing hard.
Because of her Shirahoshi blocked the sunlight when she stood in front of the boss, which startled him.
"Merfolk, which flavor do you want? Sour or sweet? Or something both sweet and sour? Apple? Or strawberry?"
Seeing customers coming in, the owner immediately perked up.
"I bought them all."
With an expectant look on her face, Shirahoshi's eyes sparkled.
"Alright!" With a beaming smile, the shopkeeper quickly began wrapping them up.
The person next to him Manboshi, sighed and pulled out a bright pearl, about the size of a fist.
"Dear Merfolk Bosses, this is too valuable. Could you exchange it for Beli?"
Looking at the large pearl that the Manboshi had pulled out, the shop owner felt envious, but not greedy. He knew that doing business in this country must be fair. Unless the customer willingly tipped, if a shop owner deliberately bullied a tourist, after a complaint and investigation, the consequences ranged from a fine to death.
"This is the least valuable thing I own."
Seeing the Manboshi's unconscious attempt to show off, the boss's face turned green. It's true what they say, comparison is the thief of joy.
"Wait, save me three skewers."
Just then, a figure jumped down from the roof beam in the distance.
"Lord Leo"
Upon seeing the person standing on his shop, the shop owner immediately recognized him, as this person was a frequent customer.
"The boss's usual order: apple, strawberry, sour, and sweet."
With a long needle slung across his back, Leo addressed the boss and then looked at Shirahoshi and the others.
"Merfolk? Are they here to attend the Grand Assembly?"
Leo recognized Manboshi and Shirahoshi immediately by their appearances.
Do you know Mansherry?
Looking at Leo, Shirahoshi felt she had seen him somewhere before, but couldn't quite place where.
"Mansherry? You're Shirahoshi of Fish-Man Island?"
Leo glanced at the Shirahoshi from head to toe and Satori going on.
"Kindness."
"I'm buying it for Mansherry right now. Mansherry mentioned you; you're her good friend."
"I haven't seen Mansherry in a long time either. She didn't even go to Fish-Man Island with Sakura to visit me this time." Pouting, Shirahoshi was a little angry.
"Boss, I can't carry that Beli on me. Come to my shop and get them. I'll take all of these candied hawthorns."
After speaking to the boss, Leo looked at Shirahoshi and said, "Mansherry is in Mermaid Street now. I'll take you there."
"Hurrah."
Shirahoshi happily accepted the candied hawthorn from the shopkeeper, stuck out her tongue and licked it, looking completely infatuated.
Finally, the Manboshi carried the candied hawthorns and followed helplessly behind.
Watching Shirahoshi and the others leave, the candied hawthorn vendor shook his head, then beckoned to a boy who was probably heading to Leo's shop.
Human Race now have plenty of free time besides cultivating Artificial Devil Fruit, so many have started businesses. For example, Leo opened a tailor shop, and his business is booming.
"Father, should we follow them?"
Standing at a distance, Ryuboshi watched Shirahoshi and Manboshi leave with Leo and asked Neptune a question.
"No need, you go and have fun by yourself, experience the country."
Neptune shook his head, seemingly lost in thought.
"Then I'm leaving, Father."
He couldn't wait any longer, and Ryuboshi disappeared into the crowd in a flash.
