Before Shirahoshi's people even appeared, the voice reached Lin Yuan's ears. Soon, a tall figure appeared.
Although Lin Yuan is nearly three meters tall, he is a dwarf in front of Princess Shirahoshi. Not to mention him, even the Whitebeard Newgate only reaches Shirahoshi's waist.
"Brother Lin Yuan, you're finally here! I've missed you so much!"
Looking at Shirahoshi's delicate face, Lin Yuan smiled and flew up, keeping eye to eye with Princess Shirahoshi.
"Haha, Little Shirahoshi, long time no see! How have you been here?"
Princess Shirahoshi reached out her soft fingers and gently touched Lin Yuan's face, saying sweetly, "Thank you, Brother Lin Yuan. I'm doing very well here."
"And everyone is grateful to Brother Lin Yuan. Living on the sea is everyone's dream. Seeing the lush green forests and the warm sunshine is like a dream!"
Then, Princess Shirahoshi recounted everything she had seen and heard over this long period of time, while King Neptune and Queen Otohime listened with smiles.
"Yes, yes, since Little Shirahoshi likes it, then you should help your father manage this land well from now on, this is your home!"
"Hehe, okay!"
Seeing Princess Shirahoshi so happy, Lin Yuan then brought up the matter at hand.
" Little Shirahoshi, have you noticed any changes in yourself? Like being able to summon giant sea creatures or something!"
Princess Shirahoshi looked at Lin Yuan with a puzzled expression, then thought about it carefully before speaking.
"Something seems to have changed. In my dream, I seemed to hear many voices saying things like, 'The king has returned, the king has awakened,' and so on!"
"And there are many enormous creatures, but I don't find them scary at all; on the contrary, I feel a sense of closeness to them."
Everyone listened carefully to Princess Shirahoshi's words, somewhat shocked. They hadn't expected Princess Shirahoshi to say such a thing. Although they knew about the Poseidon, they didn't know what his abilities were.
Lin Yuan thought for a moment, then said with a smile.
" Little Shirahoshi, could you try summoning those giant creatures from your dreams? Let's see what they look like together."
Princess Shirahoshi agreed to Lin Yuan's request without hesitation, as she also wanted to see just how powerful the Poseidon really was.
The group boarded the Flame Clouds and were led by Lin Yuan to the deep sea, while Fukaboshi went down to inform his clansmen that no matter what happened, there was no need to panic.
Soon, the group arrived at a desolate sea area, close to the Calm Belt.
"Brother Lin Yuan, let's stay here. I can sense the presence of those enormous creatures."
Lin Yuan stopped and activated his ability to protect King Neptune, Queen Otohime, and Robin. His Observation Haki also detected the anomaly.
When Princess Shirahoshi arrived here, strange things happened on the seabed.
"Okay, Little Shirahoshi, let's begin, be careful."
Princess Shirahoshi nodded, looking very serious. She thought about it carefully for a moment, then leaped into the sea.
Lin Yuan and the others were startled. Falling from such a height, even if Princess Shirahoshi was a mermaid and naturally stronger than humans, she could still die.
Lin Yuan knew that falling from such a height was no different from falling onto the ground; not everyone was a monster Kaido.
Just as Lin Yuan was about to make a move, the sea surface suddenly changed. Shirahoshi gently flicked her finger, and a current shot into the sky, lifting Shirahoshi up.
At this moment, Princess Shirahoshi stood atop the water column, her originally childlike face transforming into one of solemnity, her hair falling freely without any wind.
To Lin Yuan's surprise, a golden trident pattern appeared between Princess Shirahoshi's eyebrows.
"Tsk tsk, it really is Poseidon, even his Sea God's Trident has appeared. Could it have been summoned by Little Shirahoshi?!"
Lin Yuan casually mentioned it, but to his shock, it actually happened. Shirahoshi stretched out his arm, and countless golden lights immediately emerged from the sea, forming a golden Sea God's Trident.
"I..."
Lin Yuan stared speechlessly at this scene. He hadn't expected it to actually exist. This really was the setup of Poseidon!
As Lin Yuan's expression changed, Princess Shirahoshi finally spoke, but Lin Yuan couldn't understand a single word; it sounded more like chanting!
" Neptune, Otohime, can you understand what Little Shirahoshi is singing?"
Listening to Shirahoshi's chant, King Neptune and Queen Otohime wore expressions of reverence. Neptune spoke solemnly.
"This is the Little Mermaid's song, it has a summoning power. If it weren't for her father, I would feel drawn to it and submit to it."
Lin Yuan activated his Observation Haki and listened carefully to the song, discovering that there was indeed a soul-stirring power spreading outwards.
"Boom boom boom..."
"Boom boom boom..."
At that moment, the sea within a hundred miles suddenly began to boil, with countless bubbles rising, and then one after another, huge, pitch-black heads appeared on the surface of the sea.
The smallest of them are over ten meters long, while the largest is nearly a hundred meters long, and that's just the size of their heads.
To prevent any accidents, Lin Yuan controlled the Flame Clouds to rise rapidly into the air, and he flew to Princess Shirahoshi's side.
Lin Yuan sensed the enormous head appearing below; it was the overlord of the sea, a giant Sea Kings, the smallest of which was over a hundred meters long.
As for Shirahoshi, her eyes were radiating a seven-colored light. When she saw Lin Yuan, she simply nodded, her expression seemingly unchanged.
Lin Yuan frowned slightly, but did not disturb Shirahoshi. As Princess Shirahoshi continued to chant, the Sea Kings remained silent, seemingly listening devoutly.
Finally, Princess Shirahoshi finished chanting, then looked down at the Sea Kings, emitting sound waves as if communicating with Sea Kings.
Suddenly, Lin Yuan noticed that Shirahoshi's face had turned pale, her fair face was covered in sweat, and her once flowing hair had slowly fallen down, casually draped over her waist.
The eyes that had been radiating seven colors returned to their original state, and the body collapsed to the side as if exhausted.
Lin Yuan moved swiftly, transforming into Half-Dragon God Form, his body rising to almost the same height as Shirahoshi, and caught Princess Shirahoshi in his arms.
However, this was like stirring up a hornet's nest; the Sea Kings below seemed to riot, leaping out of the water and revealing their enormous forms.
Lin Yuan's eyes instantly turned Crimson Eyes and Golden Pupils, and the aura of a dragon god was released.
The Sea Kings below were all forced into the sea by Lin Yuan's aura, but many colossal Sea Kings still roared at Lin Yuan.
According to Lin Yuan's estimation, these Sea Kings were several thousand meters long and their strength was comparable to that of Admiral.
"Hmph, they're really courting death!"
"Roar..."
Lin Yuan's gaze grew even colder. He placed Princess Shirahoshi on his back and then transformed into a ten-thousand-meter-long dragon god, in the Zhu Jiuyin Form.
Countless Flame Clouds rose beneath his feet, their domineering aura spreading for hundreds of miles around.
All the Sea Kings were stunned, their eyes filled with a human-like horror. Many of the giant Sea Kings were so frightened that they fainted and sank to the bottom of the sea.
"Dragon God! Please stop! We meant no offense!"
Just then, a voice appeared directly in Lin Yuan's ears. Although it sounded like a huge roar to Robin and the others, Lin Yuan actually understood it.
"Roar!"
Lin Yuan roared to the sky again, his enormous head emerging from the clouds, his body constantly shifting between wind, fire, lightning, and frost, making him look incredibly majestic.
He then discovered that several terrifyingly large creatures, each about five thousand meters long, had appeared below, with even a single whisker measuring several hundred meters.
"Your Excellency, we have no intention of offending you; we are merely concerned for our king, and harbor no hostility!"
"Hmph, Shirahoshi is my friend. Since you are your king, then don't adopt an aggressive stance, or I won't hesitate to annihilate you all."
The several colossal Sea Kings below watched Lin Yuan warily, not daring to make the slightest move. They sensed a deadly aura emanating from this human.
"Brother Lin Yuan, I'm alright now, please don't hurt them!"
Just as the two sides were locked in a stalemate, Shirahoshi's voice suddenly came from above Lin Yuan's head. Although she was tiny in front of Lin Yuan, both of them heard her.
" Little Shirahoshi, are you alright?!"
"Brother Lin Yuan, I'm alright. Is this your Awakening form?"
Before Lin Yuan could answer, several voices suddenly rang out.
"My king, I've finally seen you again!"
