Pirates: I become stronger by checking in on the plot island

“Delicious, delicious, so delicious!!”

Luffy said as he stuffed a snack into his mouth, a look of satisfaction on his face.

This situation did not only happen to Luffy. Xia Chen, Usopp and others beside him were also wolfing down the snacks in front of them.

It must be said that the snacks of Fishman Island are well-known and they are really delicious.

No wonder Big Mom in the original work loves the snacks from Fishman Island so much!

After a while, everyone lay on the ground, touching their stomachs.

"Hiccup~"

"Thank you, King! You are really a good mermaid!" Luffy said with a smile while looking at Neptune.

"Hahaha... I'm glad you're full!" Neptune said with a smile, but a drop of sweat couldn't help but flow down his forehead.

Tons of snacks! Just like that! To be honest, it was a little unbelievable for him.

Maybe... this is the appetite of the strong? Ordinary mermaids like them can hardly understand it!

"Everyone, you can have fun on the island. If necessary, I can send someone to act as your tour guide. I guarantee that you will have an unforgettable few days on our Fishman Island!"

"Really? King! Luffy is right, you really are a good mermaid!" Usopp said in surprise.

Unexpectedly, Nami looked at Neptune and asked calmly, "King, is there anything you want us to help you with?"

"Otherwise, logically, you don't have to be so nice to us. Even if we are Jinbei's friends, it doesn't make sense for a king like you to treat us like this, right?"

After saying that, Nami stared straight at Neptune, wanting to see what he would say.

Hearing this, Neptune was silent for a while, then said: "That's right! I do have a favor that I would like to ask you for. Of course, it's not a big deal for you!"

"I just want to use your pirate group's name to protect this island!"

"Hmm? What do you mean?" Nami was a little curious.

"That is to plant the flag of your pirate group on this island, to tell the world that Fishman Island is under your protection!"

"Originally, our Fishman Island was protected by a pirate group, but the captain of that pirate group passed away not long ago, so..."

After a pause, Neptune continued, "As you know, Fishman Island is a must-go place for almost every pirate group heading to the New World, and there are many extremely vicious pirates among them!"

"If there is no strong military deterrence, the order of Fishman Island will be destroyed, which will be a big trouble for us!"

"There's nothing we can do. Compared to those powerful pirates, we are still a little weak, so we have to resort to this method!"

"Is the deceased pirate captain you are talking about Whitebeard?" At this time, Robin on the side looked at Neptune and asked curiously.

"That's right! It's Father Whitebeard!"

Neptune did not answer, but Jinbei at the side spoke up.

"Since the death of Whitebeard some time ago, the deterrent power of the pirate group has declined a lot. During this period, the Four Emperors Big Mom and Kaido took the opportunity to annex many territories that originally belonged to the Whitebeard Pirates!"

"Fishman Island has also been affected by this. In recent times, I can clearly feel that the pirates passing by here are not very well behaved. It is because I have been on the island during this period that nothing uncontrollable has happened!"

"But my name can't scare those pirates. If something goes wrong when I'm not around, it will be troublesome!"

"and many more!"

Luffy suddenly spoke up, interrupting everyone's conversation, and then looked at Jinbe.

"Whitebeard? Is he the uncle from the war? Ace's dad? When did he die?"

Then he turned his gaze to Robin and asked:

"Why do you know this, Robin?"

"It's not just Robin who knows, we all know!" Zoro said in a calm voice.

"When I was reading the newspaper, you were fishing so enthusiastically that I didn't tell you!"

"Souga!" Luffy clapped his hands. Then he looked at Neptune and said with a smile:

"Well, that's a small problem! Feel free to use it. Is one flag enough? If not, take a few more! Consider it your reward for the snacks you give us!"

Upon hearing this, Neptune immediately showed an excited expression on his face, looked at Luffy and said gratefully:

"Thank you so much, this will solve a problem I've been worried about recently!"

After exchanging pleasantries with Neptune for a while, everyone prepared to leave the palace and stroll around the island, and by the way, look for the lecherous chef who had been missing for quite some time!

But Neptune asked Xia Chen at this time: "Mr. Xia Chen, can I talk to you alone?"

Hearing this, Xia Chen did not show any surprise. He had noticed before that Neptune needed a favor from him. The key point was that he alone needed a favor from him!

If they just want their pirate group to protect Fishman Island, there is no need to ask him for help. Just talk to Luffy. After all, Luffy is the captain!

Seeing Neptune's situation, I was going to talk to him alone...

Thinking of this, Xia Chen nodded slightly, and did not go out with everyone, but stayed where he was.

Soon, Neptune, the mermaid, and Xia Chen were the only ones left in the entire palace.

Xia Chen didn't beat around the bush and went straight to the point and asked Neptune, "King, is there anything you want me to help you with?"

"That's right, it seems that Lord Xia Chen has already seen through my thoughts!" Neptune nodded.

"Tell me! What's going on so mysteriously that you need to send so many people away to talk to me alone?"

"..."

Neptune was silent for a while, then asked, "Master Xia Chen, have you ever heard of the term 'blank hundred years'?"

"Ok?"

Xia Chen raised his eyebrows, then said calmly: "Know a little bit! Why, do you want to tell me about this?"

"Strictly speaking, yes, but I'm not telling you about the history of that time. I'm telling you about a human being who existed at that time!"

Hearing Neptune's words, Xia Chen instantly thought of a person's name. He looked at Neptune and asked curiously:

"Joyboy?"

"Yes, it's Joyboy!" Neptune nodded subconsciously, but immediately reacted, his eyes widened, and he asked in horror: "How do you know Joyboy?"

"What? You are allowed to know, but I am not allowed to know?" Xia Chen asked back.

(⊙o⊙)...

"That's not what I meant!" Neptune said hastily.

"Then I would like to ask you again, how much do you know about Joy Boy?"

"I don't know much about him. I just know a few things about him, such as the promise he made with the mermaid princess of that generation eight hundred years ago, and the fact that you are guarding Noah to wait for the person who will fulfill the promise to appear!"

"Hmm? I didn't expect you knew all these things. Then let me tell you something you don't know..." Neptune showed a confident smile on his face.

Hearing this, Xia Chen's face showed a hint of interest.

He really didn't know much about Joey Boy, and it was only mentioned occasionally in the original book. Although a lot of things were revealed, Xia Chen really didn't know some specific details.

So Xia Chen still had some ideas about what Neptune said that he definitely didn't know.

It always feels more and more interesting~
