"This must be it!"
Luffy sniffed and said, "It smells wonderful."
As if he had just thought of something, Luffy couldn't stop drooling.
He then rushed into the corridor of the huge building.
"Why is there no seawater here?" Luffy asked, looking around in confusion.
After thinking for a while and realizing he couldn't figure it out, Luffy decisively gave up trying.
"Never mind, let's go eat some sea monster meat first!" Luffy said, his eyes shining.
As soon as he finished speaking, Luffy prepared to charge towards the distant Hard Shell Tower.
However, before he could make a move, west Yan pulled him back from behind.
"Why do you always sneak away?" Xi Yan grabbed Luffy's face and said with an annoyed look, "What exactly do you want?"
"west Yan!"
Seeing west Yan follow him here, Luffy looked surprised, then grabbed Xi Yan and said, "Hey, Xi Yan, I smell something nice, come with me!"
west Yan:
He didn't come here to watch this jerk act cute.
"Stop talking nonsense and come back with me right now."
"I don't want to!"
Luffy turned his head away from Xiyan and said, "I'm already in the banquet hall, why should I go back to that place and starve?"
west Yan: ? ? ?
Upon hearing Luffy's words, several question marks immediately appeared above west Yan's head.
"What banquet hall?"
"Where is it?"
Even Neptune, that old man, never mentioned where the banquet hall was. How did Luffy, that bastard, find it?
etc.
As if he had just realized something, west Yan's eyes widened.
"Luffy's nose is so sensitive to food... it's like a dog's nose!"
If that's the case... this guy might actually be able to find the banquet hall across the sea.
"It's right there."
Luffy turned and pointed to the hard-shelled tower in the distance, saying, "I can smell food coming from there."
"There..."
Looking at the strange building, a hint of surprise appeared in west Yan's eyes.
Isn't the layout of this banquet hall a bit too unusual?
And what about those weapons embedded in the walls?
Is this really a banquet hall?
west Yan expressed his doubts about this.
Just then, a merman pushed a huge table out of the hard-shell tower, clearly having just gone in to deliver food.
Then, the merman closed the door to the side and turned to walk in another direction.
"That's definitely a banquet hall!" Luffy exclaimed, his eyes shining.
That smell is coming from inside... It smells so good!
Hearing Luffy's words, west Yan frowned and said, "I have a feeling that's not how it is..."
After speaking, west Yan glanced at the structure of the hard-shell tower and the weapons embedded in it, and the more he looked, the more something seemed off.
"Stop nagging and come with me to eat something delicious!" Luffy said.
Without giving west Yan a chance to continue speaking, she grabbed Xi Yan's arm and started running, dragging him around in the air.
west Yan:
After glancing at Luffy, who was running forward with his big teeth bared, west Yan was immediately rendered speechless.
Is this what Zoro and his crew often experienced in the past?
Why do I suddenly feel like punching this guy?
"This must be the place."
After setting Xiyan down, Luffy looked at the enormous gate in front of him and said, "Isn't this gate a bit too big?"
"And it looks quite sturdy..."
"Uncle Neptune is not small to begin with, so it's normal that he repaired a large door," west Yan said.
"Is that so...?"
Thinking back to what that curly-haired uncle looked like, Luffy nodded in understanding; it seemed to make sense.
Given that man's size, he really couldn't fit through a smaller door.
Then, Luffy stretched out his rubber hand, grabbed the doorknob, and said, "Let's go in and eat!"
"Hey, Luffy."
west Yan glanced around, then looked up at the incredibly sturdy door and said, "I have a feeling this isn't a banquet hall."
"Not the banquet hall?" Luffy looked at Xiyan in confusion and said, "But it smelled really good here just now."
"The smell of food does not necessarily mean it is a banquet hall."
"What is that?"
"How so?"
west Yan stroked his chin and said, "I feel like this place is... protecting or imprisoning something."
Could it be a prison?
"Is that really how it is?"
"Yes, so Luffy..."
Before west Yan could finish speaking, Luffy's eyes lit up as he exclaimed, "Sea monster meat that needs to be protected in this way...—how delicious that would be!"
Thinking of this, Luffy increased the force in his hands.
west Yan: ? ? ?
west Yan looked at Luffy with a face full of question marks. Was that how he was supposed to interpret Luffy's words?
"No, you bastard, you must have misunderstood, you..."
"Squeak"
Without giving west Yan a chance to continue speaking, Luffy directly opened the door in front of them, creating a crack large enough for them to enter.
Then, Luffy turned to Xiyan, baring his teeth, and said, "What did you just say?"
west Yan:
Seeing Luffy's complete lack of awareness, west Yan was immediately rendered speechless.
What did he say?
What else could he say?
The door's already open, what can he possibly say, you bastard!
After a moment of silence, west Yan said helplessly, "Fine, the door's already open, let's go in and take a look."
"That's right!"
Hearing west Yan's words, Luffy laughed even more heartily.
He then turned and walked into the house, saying, "I can already smell the food, let's go eat!"
"Kindness"
After shaking his head helplessly, west Yan and Luffy entered the dark, hard-shelled tower together.
"That's so strange."
Luffy looked around and asked, "Why aren't the lights on?"
Isn't this a banquet hall?
If it's not a banquet hall... why does it smell like food?
At this moment, Luffy's eyes were filled with confusion.
"because..
With his Sharingan activated, west Yan looked at the giant mermaid lying on the bed in front of him and said with a twitch of his lips, "We've entered someone else's bedroom..."
If that's the case... then this strange building and sturdy gate must have been there to protect this mermaid.
That's really true—
Upon hearing west Yan's words, Luffy immediately had several question marks appear above his head.
"ha?"
"bedroom?"
Luffy turned to look at Xiyan in surprise and said, "Are you sure this is a bedroom?"
Why is someone else's bedroom in such a strange place?
"I'm sure."
west Yan nodded and said, "Because right in front of us... there is a giant mermaid whose size is no less than that of Uncle Neptune."
As he watched the giant mermaid gradually rise to her feet, an astonishing thought began to surface in west Yan's mind.
That is... could this girl be the legendary mermaid princess?!
Thinking of this, a look of surprise appeared in west Yan's eyes. It's really huge!
"Click"
The next moment, the lights in the room came on, dispelling the unsettling darkness.
Then, the mermaid princess who turned on the lights focused her gaze on Xiyan and Luffy.
"Who...who are you two?"
"Wow... such a big person... no, such a big mermaid!" Luffy exclaimed.
"really..
"You two are here to take my life too..." Bai Xing clenched her fists, looking at west Yan and Luffy with teary eyes, trying her best to put on a fierce expression as she said, "But...but I'm not afraid at all!"
Looking at Bai Xing, who was trying so hard to look fierce, west Yan's eyelids twitched slightly. Why was she acting so cute and fierce?
This doesn't seem to have any deterrent effect at all.
"you.."
"I'm not afraid, I'm really not afraid at all!" Bai Xing suddenly interrupted west Yan loudly, saying, "Really... I'm not afraid at all..."
"Because I'm Neptune's daughter, I'm not afraid!"
"I'm not afraid..."
But as she spoke, Bai Xing's tears began to flow uncontrollably.
Finally, she burst into loud sobs.
"Wow!!!"
"Help! Father! Brother! Help Shirahoshi!"
west Yan:
No, why is this person like this?
They both cried without doing anything, acting like they were the bad guys who were bullying them...:
This is outrageous.
"Hey, don't cry." Luffy looked at Shirahoshi in a daze and said, "We didn't do anything."
Why are you crying?
"You two humans must have come here to take my life," Shirahoshi cried.
"what?"
"No, we're not here to take your life. We're just here to eat." Luffy quickly waved his hand and said, "We're not here to take your life. We're just here to eat."
Unfortunately, these words had no effect on Shirahoshi, because she simply did not believe that anyone would come here for such a reason.
Seeing that Shirahoshi was still crying without any change in her expression, Luffy looked at Xiyan behind him with a headache and said, "Xiyan, do you have any ideas?"
"What can I do?" west Yan said helplessly.
He's quite good at coaxing Mary, but the problem is... Mary is just a little girl who's only a few years old!
But the woman in front of him was a mermaid princess who had lived for countless years; how could he possibly know how to coax her?
To Xi Yan's surprise, Bai Xing miraculously stopped crying after he said those words.
Then, looking down at Xi Yan with a surprised expression, she said, "You...you are Lord west Yan?"
"Ah, yes, it's me."
west Yan glared at Luffy first, then looked up at Shirahoshi and said, "I am the blood-eyed ninja who caused chaos in Mary Geoise two years ago, west Yan."
"So... could you please stop crying?"
As he spoke, west Yan took off his sunglasses and showed Bai Xing his Sharingan.
"So it really was you!"
Bai Xing was so surprised that she covered her mouth and immediately held back her tears.
"She's actually stopped crying..." Luffy looked at Shirahoshi in surprise, then turned to Xiyan and said, "I didn't expect your name to have this effect."
"That's amazing!"
west Yan: —
No, isn't there something a little off about what you're exclaiming about, you jerk!
They make it sound like he's some kind of terrifying being who can stop a baby from crying.
"you..."
"Um?"
Before west Yan could finish speaking, he noticed a huge axe flying towards him from behind.
And this axe... was aimed straight at Shirahoshi's heart!
"Where did these weapons come from?" west Yan asked, frowning.
As he spoke, he activated Susanoo and grabbed the enormous plum blossom axe with tremendous kinetic energy!
Then, with a burst of force, it shattered completely!
"Where did you get this axe?"
Looking at the fragments of the plum blossom axe that west Yan had casually tossed on the ground, Luffy asked in surprise, "Why did they fly here?"
"I don't know," west Yan said, frowning.
He also couldn't determine from where the axe came from by looking at it.
Just then, footsteps sounded outside, along with the anxious voice of the Right Minister.
"Your Highness, are you alright?" the Right Minister asked anxiously.
"Someone's coming," Luffy said.
west Yan, who was also looking outside, slowly narrowed his eyes and said, "Yes, I heard you."
I wonder what will happen if they find me here...
After thinking for a moment, west Yan reached out and grabbed Luffy, then jumped onto the wall and quickly reached the roof, finally hanging upside down and looking down at Shirahoshi.
Luffy was grabbed by Xiyan and his mouth was covered to prevent him from making a sound and causing trouble.
After finishing this task, west Yan said to Bai Xing, "It's not appropriate for me to reveal my identity right now, so... I'm counting on you, Mermaid Princess."
Bai Xing, who was staring at west Yan in surprise, paused for a moment upon hearing this, then nodded and said, "I...I understand."
Although she didn't quite understand why Lord Xiyan wanted to do this, since this hero who had been kind to Fishman Island had said so, she agreed without hesitation.
Seeing this, west Yan chuckled, then turned and glared at Luffy, saying, "Stop stabbing me, you idiot! We'll talk about it later!"
If this bastard struggles recklessly at a time like this, the other party might notice something amiss, so he had to warn the guy beforehand.
"oh.
Luffy, who was glared at by west Yan, suddenly looked a little aggrieved, but he stopped struggling and obediently stayed in west Yan's hands.
After all... west Yan had already unleashed his fist, which was brimming with domineering power.
Seeing this, west Yan nodded in satisfaction. Indeed, a domineering fist was more convincing.
A moment later, the Right Minister, looking anxious, rushed in, weapon in hand, and asked, "Princess Shirahoshi, are you alright?!"
"no."
"That's good..."
The Right Minister breathed a sigh of relief and then said, "We heard your unusual crying just now, and we thought something terrible had happened."
"Nothing happened to me, I just had a nightmare."
"It was just a nightmare, that's good..." The Minister of the Right breathed a sigh of relief.
As long as you're not attacked by someone else, it's fine.
Then, the Right Minister glanced at the opened steel gate and said, "Princess Shirahoshi, could you tell me why this gate was opened?"
"Did the soldiers who came to deliver food forget to close the door?"
At this point, his expression became extremely serious.
If that bastard really neglected his duty... he'll definitely twist his head off!
Seeing the Right Minister's increasingly dangerous gaze, Shirahoshi was startled and immediately said, "No, it's not like that."
I secretly opened a crack myself; it has nothing to do with anyone else.
Clearly, the kind-hearted Shirahoshi doesn't want anyone to get hurt because of her.
"It wasn't done by intruders?"
"What intruder?"
Shirahoshi blinked her innocent big eyes, trying her best to look like she knew nothing, which made the Right Minister frown.
"Princess Shirahoshi, you seem a little off today." The Minister of the Right frowned and glanced around. "Has someone threatened you?"
Upon hearing this, the fishman soldiers inside the room immediately sharpened their eyes.
If anyone dares to threaten their mermaid princess... they will risk their lives to kill them!
No.
Bai Xing shook her head and said, "He didn't threaten me."
Those two men hadn't laid a hand on her or been mean to her since they came in; at most, they'd just asked her for a favor.
So... she wasn't exactly threatened.
"Is that so? That's good then," said the Right Minister, Shen Yi.
As long as Her Highness is not threatened, it means there is no danger.
Just then, Mecaro swam in from outside, making a low "shark-shark" sound.
"Intruders, huh!"
"puff!"
"shark!"
When the men stabbed him with harpoons, Mecaro jumped up in pain and howled around the house.
"It's not an intruder, it's Mecaro!" Shirahoshi immediately said.
"So it's Mecaro..."
Upon seeing that it was Mecaro, the Right Minister's face showed a hint of embarrassment, but seeing that Mecaro was alright, he was relieved.
"By the way, Princess Shirahoshi, there's something I'd like to tell you."
Shirahoshi, who had reached out to touch the fire and Mecaro's head, looked curiously at Minister Yoshiichi and asked, "What is it?"
"It's about the Straw Hat crew trying to put out the fire in Mecaro."
"The Straw Hat Pirates?"
Upon hearing that it involved the Straw Hat crew, Shirahoshi stopped what she was doing to appease Mekkalo, then turned to the Minister of the Right and asked, "What are they doing?"
Xi Yan and Luffy frowned at this moment, clearly not expecting the other party to say such a thing.
Could it be that something has happened on the other side?
"Not long ago, a number of young female fish went missing here," the Right Minister said. "There are suspicions that they were responsible."
"Furthermore, according to Sharif's prediction, they are dangerous elements who could destroy Fish Island!"
"So...we've decided to temporarily detain the Straw Hat crew and thoroughly investigate these matters before deciding on their fate."
"Is there really such a thing?" Shirahoshi exclaimed in surprise.
"Yes." The Right Minister nodded and said, "So... to avoid any unforeseen events, we had our soldiers capture the Trembling Blade Swordsman and the Ghost Girl who arrived earlier."
"And those few who just arrived should have already finished capturing Yi."
After speaking, the Right Minister paused for a moment, then continued, "However... for some reason, Luffy, the Straw Hat Boy, who came here with us, and another unidentified man in sunglasses are nowhere to be seen."
"We suspect they may have sensed the fire and that's why they slipped away beforehand."
"These two are probably hiding somewhere in the city now, so... please be careful!"
Seeing that Bai Xing seemed a little stunned, the Right Minister assumed that the princess was frightened, so he comforted her, "Don't worry, Princess Bai Xing."
We will arrest those two as soon as possible.
Although it's unclear whether the sunglasses guy's true strength is good or not, the Straw Hat Boy's true strength is definitely not weak.
Therefore...: We must capture them as soon as possible to prevent Her Highness from being in danger.
Bai Xing hesitated for a moment upon hearing this, then said, "But aren't they Mecaro's saviors, and also partners of the Western Flame Great? Why would they..."
"We know this might be unfair to the Straw Hat crew, but for the sake of Uozumi Island, we have no choice but to do it," the Minister of the Right said helplessly. "But don't worry, we won't harm their lives."
"As long as they cooperate with our investigation honestly, we will not make things difficult for them."
"Once their innocence is confirmed... we will release them and apologize."
Normally, they should have treated the Straw Hat crew with half the usual hospitality, after all... they not only saved Mekaro, but were also comrades of the Blood-Eyed Ninja!
Unfortunately, the current situation isn't particularly special, so... we can only ask them to compromise for now.
"I see...."
"Yes."
The Right Minister nodded, then said somewhat helplessly, "Princess Shirahoshi, we know you are kind, but at times like this, you absolutely must cooperate with us..."
They had to do this for the sake of Yuqi Island.
"I know.."
"Um."
The Right Minister nodded, then looked at the untouched food on the beggar's table and said, "Why aren't you eating? Do you have no appetite?"
"Or is it that the food doesn't suit your taste?"
"No, I just didn't have time to eat," Shirahoshi said, shaking her head.
"I see, then..."
"Minister of the Right, it's time for the fire to start."
A fisherman soldier approached the Right Minister with a clock and said, "Five minutes have passed."
In order to protect Princess Shirahoshi's safety, Neptune has stipulated that other beings can only stay here for five minutes, so he must remind this great being.
"Ah, sorry, sorry, I just get a bit nagging as I get older." The Minister of the Right smiled helplessly, then looked at Shirahoshi and said, "Well then... Princess Shirahoshi, we'll take our leave now."
"it is good"
After watching the other person leave, Bai Xing breathed a long sigh of relief.
However, she did not speak immediately. Instead, she waited until the Right Minister and the others had left Yi for a while before looking up at Xi Yan Liang Yong and saying, "west Yan Da Nian, you can send people down now."
Mecaro: ? ? ?
Mecca looked up at the sky with a question mark on her face, and then she was dumbfounded.
"shark?"
"Shark!!!"
No, why are these two monsters here?
They are not.
Eh?
wrong.
What did Princess Shirahoshi call that guy just now?
west Yan?
"shark?!!!"
Seeing the sunglasses-wearing man jump down from the sky, Mecaro was so shocked that his eyes bulged out.
"shark!!!"
"shark!!!"
"Um?"
Looking at the gesticulating Mecaro, west Yan asked in confusion, "What's wrong with this guy?"
Why are you so excited?
"He's surprised that you are actually the Great Monk of Xiyan," Bai Xing translated.
"shark!"
"Shark!!!"
Mecaro nodded affirmatively, as if to say: That's exactly what I mean.
Seeing this, west Yan laughed. What an interesting shark!
Then, west Yan said, "Your name is Bai Xing, right?"
"Yes, Xiyan Daren!"
west Yan was somewhat helpless upon hearing this. Why did this person have to include "adult" in their name?
After shaking his head, west Yan said, "Anyway... Bai Xing, remember to keep this a secret for me, okay?"
Upon hearing this, Bai Xing tilted her head slightly and looked at west Yan, saying, "Are you referring to the fact that you're still alive?"
"Yes."
Upon hearing this, Bai Xing lowered her head, seemingly wanting to vent her anger, then looked up and asked, "Then how should I address you in front of others?"
"What should I call you?"
west Yan stroked his chin, wanting to provoke Bai Xing, then gave her a thumbs-up and said, "Just call me Big Brother!"
Several question marks immediately appeared above Bai Xing's head. What a strange name!
However... since this is what Xiyan Daren requested, let's call it that.
Thinking of this, Bai Xing nodded and said, "Yes, I know, Big Brother!"
west Yan:
There's no need to include the words "Da-Qian".
"No, that won't work."
Bai Xing shook her head, clearly having her own little stubbornness.
"Whatever you want."
Seeing that west Yan did not ask her to change her form of address, Bai Xing smiled.
Then she said, "Yes, Big Brother!"
west Yan didn't say anything more about this, he just laughed helplessly.
"And who are you?" Shirahoshi asked Luffy curiously.
"My name is Luffy, and I'm going to become the ultimate man!"
Luffy...
Shirahoshi blinked at the beggar, then said in surprise, "You must be the captain of the Western Flame Great Pirates, Straw Hat Luffy-sama?" "Yes, that's me."
"I never expected you to be Luffy Daibu..." Shirahoshi said with some emotion, "You're not quite what I imagined."
After speaking, she paused for a moment, then glanced cautiously at west Yan and said, "You are the same..."
west Yan: ? ? ?
What does it mean when it's not quite what you expected?
Could it be that in Bai Xing's imagination, the two of them are some terrifying beings with blue faces and fangs?
After shaking his head to dismiss the strange thought, west Yan said, "Haven't you seen the Straw Hat Crew's bounty posters?"
Although his bounty was lifted because he was "killed" by the World Government.
But... Luffy has a bounty on his head!
Have you never seen Shirahoshi before?
"no."
Bai Xing shook his head and said, "I've only heard about you two from Mecaro or others, but I haven't seen any bounty posters."
She hadn't left this hard-shelled tower for ten years, so she could only hear about the outside world from Mecaro or others.
"You don't actually live here all by yourself, do you?" west Yan asked in surprise.
"Yes."
Upon hearing this, he immediately sent a double attack to west Yan.
Isn't this merman princess a little too pitiful?
The mermaid princess inside the hard-shell tower?
this.
"Oh, aren't you two worried?" Shirahoshi asked anxiously, as if remembering something. "Just now, the Right Minister said that Yoshi was going to capture your companions."
These two should have heard about this, so why aren't they worried at all?
Hearing Bai Xing's words, west Yan and Luffy exchanged a glance, then burst into laughter together.
He looked as if he had just heard a funny joke.
Shirahoshi: ? ? ?
"What do you two mean by this?" Bai Xing asked, puzzled. "Why are you laughing?"
How can you still laugh when your companions are about to be caught?
This isn't right...
"You guys have no chance of catching them," Luffy sneered at Zhou.
He had a lot of confidence in his partner, Shi Yong.
"Is that so?"
"Yes," west Yan nodded, "Our companions are all very loyal!"
"But didn't the Right Minister just say that two of your companions have already been arrested?" Shirahoshi said.
As she spoke, Shirahoshi recalled what the Right Minister had said.
The other party did indeed say that they had captured a trembling swordsman and a ghost girl.
"Zoro and Perona."
west Yan stroked his chin and said, "Although I don't know what happened, I think they probably gave up resisting on their own."
Perona, who ate the Fire-Fire Fruit, is incredibly cute!
Without mastering an unparalleled level of domineering aura, it's impossible to remain calm in front of this girl.
Will such a creature be caught by those guys from Fish Island?
Don't be ridiculous, okay?
What's more, there's also Zoro, the incredibly powerful swordsman!
So... if they hadn't given up resistance, those seemingly insignificant fish soldiers would never have been able to capture them.
"Speaking of which, those two guys probably just want to find a place to sleep and wake up," west Yan muttered to himself. "And they're waiting for us to come along..."
While Perona might not necessarily do that, Zoro will most likely do it twice.
Thinking of this, west Yan fell into deep thought.
After hearing west Yan's words, Luffy nodded firmly and said, "That's right!"
"Those two are really something!"
"Huh?"
"Are you really that confident in their ability to achieve their goals?"
"certainly."
Seeing Luffy nod without hesitation, Shirahoshi blinked, realizing that she didn't need to worry about his crew.
"However, something is definitely not right about this," west Yan said, squinting. "I suspect someone is framing us."
"Trying to frame us?"
Luffy paused for a moment, then gave a displeased look and asked, "Who is it?"
"I'm going to beat him to a pulp!"
How dare they frame the Straw Hat Pirates... They really deserve a beating!
"I don't know," west Yan shook his head and said, "Let's investigate when we get down there."
At least it will make Neptune realize that they didn't do it, so that Fish Island won't hold a grudge against Kemi and the others.
This time, Luffy didn't say anything, but nodded to indicate that he understood.
Then, looking at the axe fragments on the ground, he said, "By the way... what was that axe all about?"
"Where did it fly from?"
If west Yan hadn't intervened in time, this weapon would have struck the big guy squarely in the chest.
Judging by the power of that weapon... it could definitely kill her!
Bai Xing paused for a moment upon hearing this, then said with a somewhat frightened expression, "It was thrown by someone named Vander Deiken."
"Vander Deikun?!"
Upon hearing this name, west Yan was stunned for a moment. Wasn't this the owner of that ghost ship?
Oh... he knew all along that this guy named Vander Deiken wasn't just sending lover's gifts, he was actually throwing axes at people!
This must be why Uncle Neptune wanted Vander Deacon to be wanted by the Kingdom of Tanuki.
"That's right, it's Vander Deacon," Bai Xing said, her head bowed. "I rejected his marriage proposal, so he still holds a grudge against me."
"So... he would throw all sorts of things at me every day."
"That guy really is a jerk," Luffy said, giving a look of disgust.
Xi Yan frowned and said, "Could he be some kind of Devil Fruit user capable of destroying everything?"
If we can't catch this guy, it means he's not in Ryugu Castle... no, he's probably not on Uojima Island!
To be able to accurately throw a weapon right in front of Shirahoshi under such circumstances... that's definitely not normal!
"Yes, he's an Eternal Being who ate the Target-Target Fruit," Shirahoshi said. "So... no matter when, he can use this Eternal Power to attack me with weapons."
"Is this why you're in this tower?" west Yan asked.
Now he understood what those strange weapons outside were all about; they were thrown by that guy named Vander Deiken!
This guy is such a scumbag...
"Yes."
Bai Xing said, "It's dangerous outside, so I have to live in this hard-shell tower for the rest of my life, and I can't go out even once."
For the sake of her own safety, and to avoid worrying her father and brother, she... could only live here.
"You really can stay there..."
"It's alright, I'm used to fire," Bai Xing said, shaking her head.
She was already very content to be alive and not to cause trouble for her family, so she didn't ask for anything more.
Just then, Luffy's stomach growled, clearly indicating that he was extremely hungry.
"Is Luffy hungry?" Shirahoshi's smile returned, and she said, "Then let's just eat what's on the table."
"west Yan Daren is also included."
"Really?!" Luffy exclaimed, drooling.
"Isn't this your lunch?" west Yan looked up at Bai Xing and said, "What will happen to you if we eat it?"
"It's okay, I'm not hungry right now," Bai Xing said, shaking her head. "Besides... even if I were hungry, I could ask my father to give me extra food."
Finally, this somewhat timid little pufferfish wagged its tail slightly, looking incredibly cute.
Seeing this, west Yan smiled and then said, "Then we won't stand on ceremony."
"Use it steadily and slowly"
"profound!"
west Yan nodded, then turned to look at the dining table.
"Um?"
Upon looking at the first thing over there, west Yan noticed something was wrong. How could Luffy, that bastard, have already eaten so much?
Are you a complete idiot, you bastard!
"Hey Luffy, you bastard, leave me some!"
"Hahaha, west Yan, let's have a contest to see who can eat the most!"
"Who wants to compare themselves to a good-for-nothing like you!"
"Hahaha."
