One Piece: Transform into the Eight Great Demons.

Crocodile: "..."

Crocodile: "?"

Crocodile: "Wait?!"

The incident happened suddenly, and Crocodile was a little unresponsive.

When he came to his senses, he realized that the four of them had been handcuffed.

The guards of Dragon Palace City were arranged on the left and right sides, responsible for escorting the four of them.

Crocodile: "..."

He was still a little dazed.

It wasn't until he saw Alvin Lindsay being cuffed but looking excited that he realized that he seemed to be participating in a "big fun" again.

He approached Lindsay and said gloomily: "Do you want to go to Dragon Palace City?"

Lindsay asked: "You don't want to?"

Crocodile: "..."

He has always regarded "pirates" as a "business".

From the perspective of profit alone, it is naturally not a bad idea to go to the mysterious Dragon Palace City to find out.

That is a place that is extremely difficult for humans to set foot in!

But this benefit is not big enough to allow Crocodile to make this trip himself.

But then, they heard the conversation of the guards on the side.

"How many thugs have been arrested recently?"

"There are many, whether they are gangsters from Fishman Street or humans."

"The Fish-Man Island has been very unstable recently, there are too many troublemakers..."

"Mr. [Whitebeard] seems to be troubled by trivial matters."

"..."

After some conversation, Crocodile's eyes narrowed slightly.

The turmoil on the sea was too sudden. It seems that if you go to Dragon Palace City, you will have a chance to find out.

that's enough.

As for the subsequent troubles, of course I'll leave it to the guys at the Mermaid Cafe.

The mermaid fortune teller named Charlie is quite famous on Fish-Man Island.

When the news that they were mistakenly taken away spreads, Xia Li and the others will definitely come back and explain clearly.

No problem!

"Hehehe, that's fine..."

"..."

Several people did not resist, but allowed the guards of Dragon Palace City to take them away.

……

As for those people embedded in the ground——

"Wait a minute, they're not puffer fish people, they're humans?"

"what happened?"

"..."

They were soon taken into custody by Dragon Palace City guards.

Even if he survives by chance, he will definitely be severely sentenced by the Fishman Island, which hates slave traders.

……

A group of four people, escorted by the guards of Dragon Palace City, walked to Dragon Palace City.

Talking and laughing on the road.

This scene really made the guards on the side unhappy.

But just as they were about to teach these guys a lesson, they were intimidated by the aura emanating from the four of them and did not dare to act rashly.

"What on earth are these guys..."

The guards were very puzzled, but the journey was relatively peaceful, so they ignored this small "abnormality".

After some time, everyone arrived at Dragon Palace City successfully.

The guard asked for the names of the four people, and Lindsay reported them truthfully.

Soon, the four people were thrown into the Dragon Palace City Prison, which also contained other prisoners, both fish and humans.

When the guards locked the cell door and left, the prisoners became restless.

"Hey Hey……"

A thin human came forward and said with a smile: "When you were trying to catch fishermen's slaves, did you accidentally fail?"

Crocodile: "..."

He didn't bother to talk to this kind of trash!

He eroded the shackles in his hands into ashes, slowly lit a cigar for himself, and then grabbed the thin man's neck.

"My patience is limited, answer my questions directly."

Crocodile frowned and asked, "Who gave you the courage to run wild on the Whitebeard Pirates' territory?"

"Goo—!"

The thin man struggled, and the other human prisoners were even more shocked.

"A person with natural abilities?!"

"Did he pretend to be arrested?"

"You're smart, this way you can attack Dragon Palace City from the inside!"

"..."

Listening to these noisy words, Crocodile became even more angry and his hands became stronger.

The thin man quickly begged for mercy:

"The navy has been paying close attention recently. The Whitebeard Pirates don't want to have a direct conflict with the navy, so they can't take action. So we're here to try our luck!"

This explanation is consistent with the previous slave traders.

Crocodile didn't bother to dirty his hands, so he threw it aside and fell half dead.

The rest of the people, seeing that they had no way to escape, simply showed weakness.

"Sir...sir, do you want to sneak attack Dragon Palace City?"

"We can help!"

"We are willing to be your little brothers!"

"..."

Crocodile didn't bother to answer.

Uta, on the other hand, sang a big hand on the piano keys and knocked away a slave trader who was approaching.

She covered her ears and said in disgust: "The melody here is so disgusting!"

“But it’s also part of the melody after all, right?”

Lindsay stepped forward and gently rubbed Uta's head.

"We can always hear all kinds of melodies, good or bad, positive or negative, so we can be considered healthy."

"..."

"Ah."

Uta nodded slightly.

Lindsay turned to the side and glanced up at the prisoners on the side.

"Also, I have to teach you something-"

He raised his right hand, pointed in the direction of the dungeon door, and lightly snapped his fingers.

Snapped!

The dungeon door opened immediately, and several guards quickly ran over and opened the cell door.

Lindsay grinned and educated:

"When you go out, make more friends."

"..."

"I am sorry!"

The captain who had arrested the four people earlier had beads of sweat on his forehead and bowed quickly: "We didn't know you were a guest of Princess Otohime. I'm so sorry!"

While talking, the guards unlocked the shackles of Lindsay and others.

One by one, the four of them waved goodbye to the inmates in the cell.

Crocodile walked at the end and shook off a sandstorm, allowing the rats to enjoy freely.

For a moment, there were screams in the cell.

……

The short prison life of the four was over.

Under the guidance of the guard captain, we soon arrived at the inner city of Dragon Palace City, walked up the main steps and went straight to the main hall of Dragon Palace City.

Several guards opened the door of the hall, and more guards greeted him inside, which was extremely grand.

Crocodile was slightly surprised by this.

Even if this is a misunderstanding, the pomp and circumstance that can be used to apologize is too big.

However, Lindsay is very calm about this.

Walking straight ahead, the largest welcome ceremony in the Dragon Palace Kingdom was waiting for the four of them.

……

The two ministers on the left and right of the Dragon Palace Kingdom are located on both sides.

Minister Zuo is a catfish fishman wearing a top hat and a monocle on his left eye;

The minister on the right carries a saber and is a rather tough-looking seahorse murloc;

Sitting on the throne among them is a huge male mermaid, who is none other than the King of the Dragon Palace Kingdom - Neptune, nicknamed the "Great Knight of the Sea"!

And the person next to him - the petite goldfish and mermaid - is none other than the Princess of Ryugu King, Otohime, who has been mentioned several times before!

The royal family has been waiting for a long time.

When she saw the four people walking leisurely and admiring the decoration of Ryugu Castle, Princess Otohime had a smile on her face.

"They are indeed a good group of humans. They are not angry because of what happened before."

"Ah."

Neptune nodded, and a deep voice came from his orange beard.

"But judging from their aura, they are undoubtedly the strongest among humans."

"Oh?"

Princess Otohime was slightly surprised, clapped her hands and said, "The two children too?"

Neptune nodded, "Indeed."

Princess Otohime nodded slightly.

She possesses a very special domineering power of seeing and hearing, and can even feel the other person's thoughts, good and evil.

"But in my opinion, they are all very good children!"

"..."

While the two were talking, Lindsay and others had already arrived in front of the throne.

Before Neptune could speak, Lindsay suddenly raised her hand and said, "Long time no see!"

"Ah, long time no see!"

Another voice came to mind.

Princess Otohime understood and turned her body slightly.

A video call was being connected, and a familiar red fish-man figure appeared on the screen.

It is none other than [Demon] Evan Lindsay’s old friend, [Mlocculent Hero] Fisher Tiger!

"Haha, I haven't contacted you in a long time!"

At this time, Tiger had formed his own Sun Pirates.

He was sitting on the deck, maintaining communication with Ryugu City.

Although from a political point of view, he and Princess Otohime are not on the same path, the two of them often maintain communication for the "destiny of the fish people".

"Tiger told me about you, but I didn't expect you to come to Fish-Man Island."

Facing humans whose hard power far exceeds that of the Ryugu Kingdom, Princess Otohime still behaves generously and appropriately.

"On behalf of the royal family of Fishman Island and Dragon Palace Kingdom, I welcome all human friends."

"..."

It will naturally be lively when old and new friends gather together.

Crocodile was also happy about this. After all, if he had the support of the royal family, his rest on Fish-Man Island would be much smoother.

As he was thinking about it, Crocodile suddenly looked away from his peripheral vision, and a huge black shadow appeared behind Lindsay.

The other party raised his hand, as if about to launch a sneak attack.

"?!"

Crocodile was about to take action when he looked up and saw something that puzzled him...

thing?

No, that's too rude.

It should be said to be "mermaid".

It was a huge mermaid with pink hair and a red and pink tail.

But it would be wrong to say that she is a "female".

She was obviously still a child.

Biuta and even little Kemi are much younger, probably only two or three years old.

"what!"

The giant pink mermaid girl, with a smile on her face, patted Lindsay's head gently.

Lindsay spread her wings, then flapped her wings, and the strong wind swept her up.

"Wow!"

The little mermaid girl opened her hands and smiled happily.

Seeing this scene, Neptune and Princess Otohime both laughed and introduced:

"She is our little daughter Bai Xing. She usually likes to cry. Unexpectedly, she is very happy today!"

"Yeah, it looks like she's having a good time with Mr. Lindsay."

"Ha ha!"

Even Tiger couldn't help but relax when he saw this scene.

Crocodile was not interested in this, so he looked away.

"..."

With this glance, an abnormal scene was discovered:

I saw another little girl - "Uta", the person with the song fruit ability, staring at Bai Xing who was playing with Lindsay with her eyes wide open.

"Totemjika is making a noise."

Uta's eyes were dull, as if he had seen something particularly terrifying, and he murmured:

"He's scared."

"Afraid of Mr. Lindsay."

"At the same time, I am also afraid of the mermaid princess."

"..."

Crocodile was silent for a moment and rubbed his chin.

"Ok?"
