Hard-Shell Tower.
After Shirahoshi turned on the lights in the room, she saw three people she had never seen before. Tears flashed in her eyes, and she asked with some fear, "Who are you? Why are you here? You must have come to this room to take my life."
The more he talked, the more Shirahoshi couldn't control himself.
Although it was shocking, Princess Mermaid was so big... Seeing her, she almost couldn't hold back and cried. Kaku took out his weapon Demon Spirit, and then pointed He picked up the sharp awl that had already penetrated half of the wall and explained, "We have no ill intentions towards you. Although we don't know what happened, the awl should have been aimed at you just now. If we want to kill you, do I still need to open the awl?"
Kaku said this, and Shirahoshi looked at the sharp cone on the wall. It seemed that the human in front of her was not deceiving her, and her mood that was about to cry improved slightly.
"Are you really not here to take my life?" Shirahoshi wiped the tears from the corners of his eyes and asked with some uncertainty, "If you are not here to take my life, then why are you in this room?"
"Uh, this." Kaku touched his Long Nose, glanced at Lin Mo and Enel who didn't know what they were thinking, and then continued, "We were raped by your brother Prince Manboshi Guests invited to the Royal Palace, the reason why we are here is to admire the true face of the legendary Princess Mermaid, that's all, don't worry, as long as you don't do anything that will harm us, we will not take the initiative to harm you."
"Are you actually the guests invited by Brother Wang?" Shirahoshi burst into tears and laughed, "That's great. Since they were invited by Brother Wang, they must be trustworthy good people. Ah, I'm really sorry. I misunderstood you just now."
Kaku smiled and said as if coaxing a child, "It's okay, just the misunderstanding has been resolved."
"Look." Enel said proudly, "I have already said that Princess Mermaid is a big guy, bastard Long Nose, I wonder what else you have to say."
Kaku glanced at Enel and said with a disdainful smile, "What's so proud about this? I didn't make any bets with you. However, although this Mermaid princess is big, she is indeed quite beautiful."
As he spoke, Kaku looked at Lin Mo and asked with a smile, "Captain, how do you like it? Regardless of the body shape, do you like this appearance?"
Before Lin Mo could say anything, Enel directly answered for him, "You still don't believe me when I say you are superficial. Haha, no one knows this guy Lin Mo better than this Thunder God. He likes women with twin ponytails. Princess Mermaid is not his type."
Lin Mo:"..."
Why Enel said that, of course Lin Mo knows.
Isn't it that when he was at Coral Apartments, he casually said, would a beautiful Mermaid with double ponytails be okay?
What is this?
Does this mean that he likes this type of woman?
Before Lin Mo could think about it, a long sword instantly flew in from outside the room, through the gap in the opened giant door, and attacked Shirahoshi straight away.
The moment the long sword flew past Lin Mo, Lin Mo pulled out Third Generation Demon Cutter without hesitation, raised the knife and dropped it, with a 'clang' sound, the long sword was cut into two pieces and fell to the ground.
At the same time, System Notification Sound rang as he expected.
'Didi! Rescue Princess Shirahoshi, check-in progress +30%, Observation Haki level +1, current Observation Haki level is Lv7.'
In an instant, countless voices from around him poured into Lin Mo's mind.
Although it was only for a moment, he once again felt a splitting headache.
Fortunately, he had experienced it several times before, and the feeling was fleeting. He just frowned and passed.
"What's going on?" Kaku looked at the sword on the ground that had been cut in half by Lin Mo, "I seem to know where so many weapons stuck on the door came from. No wonder the door is closed..."
Shirahoshi covered his mouth in fear. After finally calming down, his eyes were covered with a layer of mist. "Thank you, can I know the names of the three adults?"
"Before you talk about this, you'd better close the door first." Kaku pointed to the door that was still open. "Otherwise, there will be mysterious weapons flying in after a while. Although it is not difficult to solve, it will always happen again and again, which is very annoying."
"Thank you, thank you." Shirahoshi said his thanks again politely, his cheeks were red, and he once again wiped away the tears that had not fallen from his eyes.
Enel looked at Shirahoshi and asked curiously, "You are so big, you must be hundreds of years old."
"Huh? How many years old?" Shirahoshi was stunned for a moment, looking extremely shocked, and his eyes were filled with mist again, "I'm only eleven years old, wuwuwu..."
"What? Eleven?" Enel was shocked, "It's a lie!"
"No, Shirahoshi didn't lie." As he said that, Shirahoshi started sobbing again, "I won't lie to you, really."
Enel's mouth twitched wildly, still very suspicious.
Lin Mo said calmly, "She didn't lie."
Lin Mo just said it so casually. Enel didn't believe it at first, but now it seems that it is not impossible.
When Shirahoshi saw Enel looking at her again, especially since Enel was a bit fierce in appearance, she was so frightened that she couldn't help but cry, "Ooooooo, it's so scary."
"Hey, why are you crying!" Enel Huo Daodao said, "Don't think that if you cry, I, Thunder God, will coax you. Shut up, you giant crybaby! Hey, do you hear me? If you cry again, I, Thunder God, will beat you!"
Chapter 341 Fish-Man Island: Forced buying and selling
Enel's words not only didn't make Shirahoshi stop crying, but made her cry even louder, "You are so cruel, wow, wow, wow, no one has ever been so cruel to me, it's terrible, wow, wow..."
"Hey, stop crying!" Enel hates others crying the most, and now he is even thinking of killing the fish.
Kaku was about to close the door. Hearing the conversation between Enel and Shirahoshi, he couldn't help but stop and glance back. Seeing Enel's fierce look, he had a headache and said, "She is only an eleven-year-old child. The more fierce you are, the harder she will cry. Can't you be gentler to her?"
"Gentle? Haha, why should I, Thunder God, be gentle to a strange fish I met for the first time?" Enel said unhappily.
When he said this, Kaku got excited. "Have you ever been gentle to anyone? You usually get into trouble with me at every turn, and you are always stubborn enough to provoke Captain. Do you, an idiot, know what gentleness is?"
"Asshole Long Nose, why don't I understand?" As soon as he finished speaking, Enel couldn't help but be stunned, and soon realized a big problem, "Damn it, you dare to call me an idiot? I see that you are becoming more and more lawless. Today, this Thunder God will let you know what the consequences are for disobeying God!"
"Two adults, I'm sorry." Shirahoshi sobbed and wiped his tears and said aggrievedly, "I know I was wrong. I won't cry anymore. Please stop arguing."
Enel replied impatiently, "Shut up!"
Shirahoshi was so frightened that she couldn't help but burst into tears again.
"It's so annoying!" Enel said impatiently, "If you keep crying and crying, you just know how to cry! I'll kill you first!"
As he spoke, many tiny electric currents filled his body.
Lin Mo just completed a system task silently and is in a pretty good mood.
Although he also hates people crying all the time, Shirahoshi is a key figure in Fish-Man Island, and maybe the next mission has something to do with her. If Enel really kills her, she will be resented by the entire Fish-Man Island residents and hunted down by Neptune. If she can't complete the mission, it will be a loss.
To sum up.
He will not let Shirahoshi die now.
Thinking of this, Lin Mo stood directly in front of Shirahoshi, faced Enel, and said calmly, "She can't die yet."
"How come you have such a brain?" Kaku added in coordination, "Have you forgotten where we are now? We are now 10,000 meters under the sea! This girl is a princess. If you kill her, do you still want to return to the sea smoothly? Captain is indeed far-sighted. You guys should learn more!"
Enel: "..."
Shirahoshi blinked her big eyes with tears in them, looked at Lin Mo and the other three, and whispered in fear, "Sir Thunder God, don't be angry, I won't cry anymore, I really won't cry anymore, really!"
Although she still looked like she might cry at any time.
Enel Seeing that she had been holding back and not crying anymore, she snorted coldly, "You're lucky, I Thunder God won't kill you today."
"Thank you, Mr. Thunder God." Shirahoshi burst into laughter again, his cheeks flushed, as if nothing had happened just now. He suddenly thought of something and asked quickly, "Three adults, do you want to eat something? I have a lot of snacks here, let's all eat together~"
"No, we just ate." Lin Mo said directly, "Did my Crew Member scare you just now?"
Enel and Kaku looked at each other strangely.
Based on his understanding of Lin Mo, Lin Mo would not ask such a question out of nowhere to a guy he just met a short time ago.
Therefore, both of them are a little bit unclear about the intention of Lin Mo's question.
But Shirahoshi met Lin Mo for the first time, and she didn't know what kind of person Lin Mo was. Therefore, the two things that Lin Mo had just thrown at Vander Decken IX for her and stood up to help her out were enough for her to conclude that Lin Mo was a good person with a very good heart.
"Actually, I was only a little bit scared." Shirahoshi said with a smile, "It doesn't matter. It was me crying that made Mr. Thunder God so angry. It's okay now. Let's just forget about it. I really I'm very happy. It's been a long time since I've talked to anyone other than Brother Wang for so long. Hehe, if possible, can you stay here for a little longer? I have a lot to say and a lot of questions to ask. Can you tell me what the world on the sea is like? I'm really curious."
However, after Shirahoshi said so many words, Lin Mo didn't want to answer her questions at all, and directly said what he wanted to say, "As compensation for my Crew Member scaring you, I can grant you a wish."
"Huh?" Shirahoshi was stunned, and quickly waved his hand and said, "No, I don't need you to fulfill any wishes for me. I'm already very happy if the three adults can stay here and chat with me for a while."
"No, I said I want to grant you a wish, you can't refuse it." Lin Mo didn't give her any room for negotiation, and asked indicatively, "How long have you been locked up here?"
Shirahoshi has never met someone who is so tough and says that one is one. Although it was very difficult, he still answered Lin Mo's question honestly, "It's been almost five years. My father said that you can only protect me by staying here."
"Okay." Lin Mo said without hesitation, "Then I will take you out. You can go anywhere you want."
"Oh? Wait, I can't go out." Shirahoshi said anxiously, "If I go out, my father and brothers will be worried. Although I also want to go out, I can't let my father and the others worry. No, no, I can't go out. I appreciate your kindness, Shirahoshi, thank you."
"Then let's go to Sea Forest." Lin Mo didn't take Shirahoshi's words to heart at all, and directly stated the destination that he had already set.
In his Memory, this place called Sea Forest is a place that Shirahoshi has always wanted to go to.
Maybe if her wish is fulfilled, a progress mission will be triggered.
This wave of strong buying and selling operations by Lin Mo dumbfounded both Kaku and Enel.
Kaku asked in surprise, "Big Fool, I read it right, heard it right? Captain When did he become so 'warm-hearted'?"
Enel's mouth twitched slightly, and he said in confusion, "Weird, so strange. Lin Mo is not such a kind person. What on earth does he want to do?"
Kaku shook his head and said, "I don't know, Captain's thoughts are too difficult to guess. Could it be that he wants to kidnap Princess Mermaid and sell her? But Captain is not a person who values money... I really can't figure out what Captain's intention is."
"This Thunder God knows!" Enel suddenly became excited.
Chapter 342 Fish-Man Island: Leaving the Palace
Although, Kaku didn't expect anything from Enel. He felt it was unreliable even before they said it, but he still asked, "What do you know?"
Enel looked like I had seen through it all, and chuckled, "If you don't want to sell this princess, then you must want to take over this male Master ship!"
Kaku glanced at him as if he were an idiot. "You idiot, have you forgotten what the female fortune teller Mermaid said? She said that the next Crew Member to board our ship will not come until two years later. Besides, even if Captain really wants to take in this Mermaid princess. We Flying Ship's Ship Cabin can't fit her in. Is it possible to keep her on Deck?"
Enel: "..."
"Okay." Enel waved his hand, "I don't know about Thunder God either."
As for Shirahoshi, after Lin Mo said Sea Forest, his face was full of surprise. "Sir, what you just said was Sea Forest?"
Lin Mo nodded lightly.
Sea Forest is a place where many beautiful corals grow, although there are shipwrecks everywhere.
These are nothing. The reason why Shirahoshi wants to go to Sea Forest is because her mother Queen Otohime is buried there.
"Sir, have you been to Sea Forest?" Shirahoshi asked with rosy cheeks. She seemed to be fine, but there was a slight tremor in her tone of voice.
"No." Lin Mo said nonchalantly, "As long as you know the way."
As soon as Lin Mo finished speaking, Enel couldn't help but complain, "Captain, are you going to laugh me to death? You forced yourself to take this giant crybaby out, and then you asked this giant crybaby to lead you the way? I can't understand what you are doing."
Lin Mo glanced at him and said, "If you dare to say one more word, try it."
Enel understood instantly and immediately raised a hand to cover his mouth...
Shirahoshi Although she really wanted to go to Sea Forest, considering many factors, she still backed down. "Thank you for your kindness, I, I'd better not go. After all, it is still too dangerous for me outside. I don't want to worry my father and brothers."
"What are you afraid of?" Lin Mo stared at Shirahoshi's evasive gaze and said expressionlessly, "As long as I am here, no one can hurt you. Even if Vander Decken himself comes, it will be easy to kill him."
"But, but..."
Lin Mo was too lazy to talk nonsense to her. "Get ready and leave now."
"Huh? Wait," Shirahoshi was startled, "Sir, I..."
"What am I?" Enel said dissatisfied, "Who do you think we are? Since I, Captain, have said that he will protect you, then no one in this world can hurt a hair of yours under his nose."
Kaku nodded and said, "Although Big Fool spoke a bit too hastily, we Captain do have the strength to fulfill his promise. Your Highness, please believe us."
Shirahoshi tightened her fists, struggling and hesitating in her heart. She wanted to go out, she really wanted to.
The most important thing is that Lin Mo and the others were invited by her brother to be guests of the Royal Palace, and they just saved her twice.
This gave her confidence that maybe they could actually do it.
After hesitating for a moment, Shirahoshi asked in a low voice, "Can I come back before dinner?"
Lin Mo said without hesitation, "Yes."
"Then, I'll go!" Shirahoshi encouraged Courage and said excitedly and fearfully, "You three adults, I'll leave it to you."
As soon as he finished speaking, Shirahoshi realized a serious problem. "Ah, how do I get out? If I just go out like this, I will be discovered by my father before I leave Royal Palace."
"Simple." Lin Mo has already thought of a countermeasure, "Do you have a pet?"
Shirahoshi was stunned, and nodded weakly. "Sir, you are talking about Megalo, right? It should go out to play now, what's wrong?"
Megalo is a shark.
It is also a key 'prop' thought up by future Luffy to take Shirahoshi out.
Shirahoshi Just finished speaking, a large shark squeezed in from outside the door of this room.
When it saw three strangers in the room, it thought they were enemies and bared its teeth ferociously.
When Shirahoshi saw Megalo coming back, he immediately waved to it with a smile, "Megalo, you are back. These three adults are not bad people. Don't hurt them."
As soon as Megalo heard that he was not an enemy, he immediately returned to his original silly look and came to Shirahoshi's side to stay obediently.
