Matters of the Future, Meeting Shachi / An Invitation to Dragon Palace!

The little guy in front of us is usually unassuming, and the outside world knows almost nothing about him except what's said in the newspapers.

Such a person is incredibly low-key. If he hadn't learned the truth through divination, he might not have known that a Shichibukai possessed the strength to sweep across the entire sea.

Faced with this enigmatic man, Shyarly Li suddenly had a strange thought.

"He will definitely be able to change the course of the future!"

"Why is he here if he's not in the New World?"

Dongze thought for a moment, but still couldn't figure out why that old man was here at this time, so he muttered to himself.

At this moment Robin and Xiaoyu finished their conversation and, seeing Shyarly and Dongze sitting there, they couldn't help but walk over.

"Madam~"

Xiaoyu laughed awkwardly. As a waitress here, chatting with guests during work hours might seem like just exchanging information about the Fish-Man Island, but in reality, it could be considered shirking her duties.

"Dongze?"

Seeing that Dongze's expression was a bit off, Robin asked him curiously.

"It's alright! You two girls go and play by yourselves first! He and I still have something to discuss!"

Dongze also came to her senses at this moment. She nodded slightly to Robin to indicate that she was alright.

"Alright! I promise you! I will never make a move on Fish-Man Island unless absolutely necessary!"

Thank you~

Chapter 124 Future Events, Meeting Fukaboshi

Time flew by, and Dongze left the Mermaid Cafe with Robin.

Robin's face still showed shock as he recalled Madame Shyarly's appearance.

It's hard to imagine that a simple divination session could almost cost her her life.

The crystal ball eventually shattered, and the mermaid Shyarly suffered a backlash. Fortunately, Dongze intervened in time, sealing the house with his Sword Intent; otherwise, she might not have been saved.

A simple fortune-telling session almost turned into a murder.

Shyarly didn't tell them what happened next, but explained it to Dongze alone.

After speaking with Shyarly, Dongze remained silent the entire way and did not utter a single word.

"What did you say? That old man with the Whitebeard actually left his territory?"

"Reporting to Big Mom, according to the information we received, Whitebeard has indeed left the territory, and his destination should be Fish-Man Island!"

"What's that old guy doing there?"

"This~"

"Forget it! Let that old man go wherever he wants! By the way, is my cake ready?"

"It's ready! Baron Tamago will be here soon!!"

"Okay~ Hahaha..."

"Shanks! That old man Whitebeard is making a move!!"

On Red-Haired Shanks' territory, Beck slowly exhaled a puff of smoke and calmly spoke to Shanks beside him.

Where did you go?

"It looks like Fish-Man Island!"

"Really! Did you go to catch up with old friends? The servants are having a feast!!"

"Oh..."

"Boss, that old Whitebeard has made a move!"

"Where did that old geezer go again?"

"It looks like Fish-Man Island!!"

"That old bastard, I'll kill him sooner or later!!"

"Boss, should we make a move?"

"When that old bastard comes back, you're going to block his punch?"

Hehe~

Whitebeard's move immediately caused a huge uproar in the New World. The Navy had been paying close attention to the movements of the Four Emperors' crews, so upon receiving news of Whitebeard, they couldn't help but become tense.

"Garp! Go to Fish-Man Island! Where is that old guy going at this hour? He might have ill intentions!"

"Tch! Sengoku, look how scared you are! That old man Whitebeard won't make a move right now! Fish-Man Island is already under his protection, don't make such a fuss about him going there!"

"Garp ..."

"Okay, I got it~"

"Dongze, where are we going?"

Seeing that Dongze remained silent, Robin couldn't help but ask a question.

"Let's go to the Ryugu Palace! Since we're here, we have to see the Sea Emperor — Poseidon!"

After saying this, Dongze's eyes began to flicker again. He had learned some things from Shyarly, which made his previously relaxed nerves tense up once more.

Furthermore, based on his deduction, the Old Whitebeard's movements would surely attract the attention of those people on the sea, and he didn't have much time left.

If he were to run into that guy Whitebeard, there might be an epic battle, although he's no longer afraid of the Whitebeard Pirates.

However, according to Shyarly's prophecy, if she were to engage in a major battle with the Whitebeard Pirates at this time, she would definitely attract the attention of the World Government.

That incident was unavoidable in the future.

For the sake of long-term planning, he had to complete the trip to Fish-Man Island as quickly as possible, before that old Whitebeard arrived.

Thinking of this, Dongze quickly swept out with his Observation Haki, and the range rapidly expanded from a kilometer at the beginning to tens of kilometers now.

With that one glance, he didn't find the person he was looking for, but he clearly saw all the Monsters hiding in the shadows.

No wonder that happened!

He was shocked when he saw it. This small island, located more than Three Thousand meters below the seabed, was home to all sorts of monsters and demons.

The group had spies from the Four Emperors' crews, the World Government, the Navy, and the Revolutionary Army —all sorts of people were involved. Seeing this situation made Dongze grit his Delia in frustration.

Is Fish-Man Island really such a coveted spot that everyone wants a piece of it?

Or is the smuggling business on Fish-Man Island really that booming, making these major powers envious?

However, he no longer cared why these people had come here.

His primary target now is the mermaid princess in the Ryugu Palace, so his search targets are those people in the Ryugu Palace. It's not impossible to enter by force, but that would offend the current mermaid royal family.

"Found it!!"

Just when he thought the search was fruitless, a figure appeared within the range of his Observation Haki —it was none other than the eldest prince of the Ryugu Palace, Fukaboshi.

Upon seeing this person, Dongze couldn't help but show a hint of joy on his face.

However, this person is 35 kilometers away, which is neither too far nor too close. At their current speed, it would be impossible for them to catch up with him.

Don't be fooled by the fact that the Fish-Man isn't fast on land; he has a mount, so he moves incredibly fast.

"Robin!"

"Hurry up!"

As soon as she finished speaking, Robin felt her feet sink and her body become light. Then she felt herself being held in place by two strong arms, one passing under her armpit and the other through the back of her knee.

"Ah~~"

Then she realized that the scene in front of her was rushing backward, and felt the strong wind rushing past her. She belatedly realized that she was being carried by Dongze. Smelling the familiar scent on Dongze, she quickly buried her head in Dongze's chest.

"Shave!"

"Geppo!"

With Dongze's current physique, the speed of his Six Powers of Body Techniques is as fast as thunder and as swift as Inazuma.

In the blink of an eye, only a blur remained in mid-air as the two vanished from their spot.

This surprised the undercover agents and spies who had been monitoring Dongze; such speed...

"Uh~~"

At the same time, these people all realized that the person in front of them was not simple and that they should report to their boss.

Unfortunately, before their ideas could be put into practice, five streaks of Flowing Light ripped through the sky, and all the spies and undercover agents were pierced through the chest by a single sword.

These were the Five Flying Swords that Dongze had placed in the Profound Heaven Sword Case. Now that he had discovered those spies and undercover agents, how could he let them go? He didn't want the people from the World Government to know his true identity yet.

In a short while, Dongze arrived above Fukaboshi. Looking at the Fukaboshi patrolling in front of him, Dongze flashed and directly landed on Fukaboshi's mount.

She stood behind him.

Hello! Prince Manboshi!

Upon hearing the loud noise beside his ear, Fukaboshi was first stunned, and then a cold sweat suddenly covered his forehead.

The person appeared behind him silently and boarded his mount.

What does this tell us?

If the opponent were willing, I could be killed in an instant.

Fukaboshi slowly turned his somewhat stiff body and looked at the two people who appeared behind him, a man and a woman. The man was very ordinary, but the woman was extremely outstanding.

Fukaboshi asked with utmost caution, "Who are you?"

Chapter 125 Invitation to the Ryugu Palace!

"Nice to Meet You! My name is Dongze! This is my deputy, Xiao Yi!"

Dongze didn't beat around the bush and went straight to the point.

"What do you need me for?"

Fukaboshi thought for a moment. He didn't remember either of them. Dongze another story, but Robin's appearance was outstanding. If he had seen her before, he would definitely remember her.

"What do you want from me?"

Dongze chuckled, "It's nothing much! It's just that I heard you were looking for me!!"

Upon hearing Dongze's words, Fukaboshi's pupils constricted sharply, and he looked at Dongze as if he had seen a ghost.

After Neptune finished arranging things, he left the Ryugu Palace. He was also very interested in the person that Hody Jones and the others were looking for.

He had also heard about Dongze's situation, and looking at the person in front of him, his face slowly began to overlap with that of the boy he had seen in the newspaper before.

Looking at the smiling Dongze, Fukaboshi's heart began to pound uncontrollably. At the same time, he cursed inwardly, "Damn it! No wonder he seemed a bit awkward before; it was actually him!!"

Perhaps it was the arduous journey, or perhaps it was the training that had propelled Dongze to great heights. He was originally quite ordinary-looking, with no distinguishing features.

At first glance, it is indeed hard to imagine that the other party is the newly appointed Shichibukai.

"The Shichibukai - Dongze!!"

Fukaboshi spoke each word carefully, his eyes filled with vigilance. He would never underestimate any enemy, especially one of the Shichibukai.

Oh! You know me?

Dongze was quite moved by Fukaboshi's reaction; he hadn't expected that the other party would actually recognize him, an unknown Shichibukai.

"How could I not recognize them? Each of the Shichibukai is a figure whose name resounds throughout the seas. You are far too modest!"

Since learning Dongze's identity, Fukaboshi has adopted a very humble attitude. Unlike those hotheads who look down on others when facing someone stronger than himself, he doesn't act arrogantly.

"What do you want from me?"

Dongze smiled slightly, then said softly.

"It's nothing. My father heard you were here and wanted to get to know you. If possible, I'd like to invite you to our Ryugu Palace!"
