The soft sound, at this moment, seemed to be infused with a demonic chant, echoing on the dock and lingering for a long time.
Whether it was Fukaboshi, the other two princes, or even the guards present, their expressions changed slightly.
Shirahoshi has always been the apple of the eye in the Fish-Man Palace, cherished and protected as if she might melt away.
In particular, the thought that their beloved Princess Shirahoshi was being targeted by criminals was especially striking.
My heart ached even more.
King Neptune tried many methods to free Princess Shirahoshi.
Even the three princes were tasked with personally pursuing and capturing him.
Unfortunately, as time went on, not only were the perpetrators not caught, but the harassment only intensified.
Even King Neptune was powerless to help.
The only option was to keep Shirahoshi hidden inside the Hard-Shell Tower for protection.
Now, Bai Yu speaks up and says he can rescue Shirahoshi.
This really touched a nerve with them.
Neptune's stride came to an abrupt halt.
A hint of struggle flashed across his slightly aged face. He gripped the trident tightly, clenching and unclenching it several times before finally gritting his teeth and speaking.
"I'm sorry, Admiral Bai Yu, I appreciate your kindness, but this is a matter for Fish-Man Island and has nothing to do with you."
"If you have nothing else to do, I'll have Fukaboshi escort you away."
After saying this, a look of exhaustion flashed across King Neptune's face, as if all the strength in his body had been drained away.
Fukaboshi, standing to the side, also had a complicated expression on his face, but faced with King Neptune's order, he still gritted his teeth and stepped forward, intending to forcibly carry out the order.
Seeing this, Bai Yu smiled bloodthirstyly, took a swig of wine, and said.
"It seems that besides Princess Shirahoshi's problem, there are other things troubling King Neptune."
"However, let me guess, I think you're letting me go because you're worried I'll bring destruction to Fish-Man Island, right?"
The expressions of the guards present, even the three princes and the Fish-Man King Neptune, all changed.
Looking back at Bai Yu, her face was filled with disbelief and disbelief.
Even Yamakaji, who was standing to the side, looked shocked and said.
" Admiral Bai Yu, what did you say? Our landing on the island will destroy Fish-Man Island? Are you kidding me? We mean no harm. Is there something wrong with us?"
Bai Yu was not surprised by these questions about the Yamakaji.
Seeing the changes in the expressions of the Fish-Man Island people and those from three days ago, Bai Yu had already guessed what was going on.
After testing Shirahoshi's situation, Bai Yu was even more certain.
In the eyes of King Neptune and his companions, there was only one thing more important than Shirahoshi's life.
The safety of Fish-Man Island.
The only person in the original story who could utter words that King Neptune and others could believe was Madame Shyarly, the owner of the Mermaid Café.
This seems to be a prophecy of the end times.
" Admiral Bai Yu, it seems you are no ordinary person, having guessed this."
A clear, crisp female voice rang out from the crowd, and soon Madame Shyarly, wearing a purple coat, emerged from the throng.
Looking at the woman holding the crystal ball before him, Bai Yu was sure...
She and the Fish-Man Arlong are half-siblings, sharing the same father but different mothers.
However, compared to the Arlong's wretched appearance, Shyarly was clearly a woman exuding mature charm.
" Shyarly, I didn't expect you to come in person. But didn't I already say that I could handle this matter?"
Neptune looked at Shyarly beside him and sighed with a hint of helplessness.
Shyarly held the crystal ball, shook her head, and said, "Your Majesty King Neptune, you are too soft-hearted. I'm worried that in the end, you'll still be unable to resist your soft heart and refuse people to ensure the safety of Fish-Man Island!"
" Admiral Bai Yu, I am a diviner from Fish-Man Island. The things I divine may not be 100% accurate, but in order to save Fish-Man Island from the crisis of destruction, the only thing I can do is to dissuade you from setting foot on Fish-Man Island."
"I believe that if Admiral Bai Yu wants Fish-Man Island to maintain good relations with the World Government, he will agree to my suggestion."
Compared to Neptune, Shyarly's statement was clearly more direct and straightforward.
Yamakaji, standing to the side, froze.
He never imagined things would escalate to this point.
If, as Shyarly said, their arrival on Fish-Man Island Fish-Man Island bring about a devastating crisis.
So, they can still be persuaded with kind words.
This is probably the greatest magnanimity one can show.
If we continue to linger, we might actually incur the wrath of Fish-Man Island.
This is something Yamakaji absolutely does not want to see.
No, I refuse your request.
Bai Yu gave a bloodthirsty smile, casually downed a swig of wine, and then said...
"I'm more interested in knowing who has the ability to destroy Fish-Man Island right in front of me, rather than the Fish-Man Island being destroyed."
"If I insist on staying, will you use force?"
The guards present immediately changed their expressions.
Even the three princes were no exception, let alone Neptune.
None of them expected that Bai Yu would still insist on staying after Shyarly personally pointed out the truth.
Is this an attempt to coerce them into using force?
He is the Marine Fourth Admiral, representing both the Marine Headquarters and the World Government.
If we take action against Bai Yu, wouldn't that be interpreted as breaking ties with the Marine Headquarters and even the World Government?
Shyarly's expression also darkened instantly, and she gripped the crystal ball in her hand tightly. She said, " Admiral Bai Yu, you're being far too domineering. We've already tried to reason with you and explain things clearly, but you're still clinging to this. If word gets out, it will probably alienate all the Affiliated Nation."
"Or do you think my divination skills are ineffective?"
All eyes immediately turned to Bai Yu.
Even Neptune sighed helplessly.
Compared to his daughter's freedom and safety, Neptune chose the future of Fish-Man Island.
Even with Bai Yu's strong stance, he is still given the choice.
Neptune would also choose to protect the safety of Fish-Man Island.
If Bai Yu insists on forcing the issue, he'll have no choice but to comply.
Feeling the eager gazes from all around, Bai Yu took a swig of strong liquor and said, "Hehe, Madame Shyarly, you flatter me. I don't mean to belittle your divination skills."
"But I want to tell you something: my divination is more accurate."
"If I told you that only I can save Fish-Man Island, would you believe me?"
The soft sound, at this moment, seemed to be infused with a demonic chant, echoing between heaven and earth, lingering for a long time.
Everyone present was instantly stunned.
