One Piece: Capture the Goddess and Become Stronger

Chapter 64: Neptune's Surrender

Neptune considered himself a qualified king. This was the first time he was accused of poor governance in public. He immediately retorted with a red face:

"My governance is poor? What's wrong with it? Don't make random comments!"

"I'm too lazy to talk about the details, so let's just talk about the biggest hidden danger, Fishman Street! Haha, it used to be a large place to take in orphans, but what is it now? Do I need to remind you?"

"Xia Li once lived there. She has the most say. Why don't you listen to her thoughts?"

Neptune's expression froze. Fishman Street... It was indeed his fault that this place became what it is now.

Xia Li sighed and said expressionlessly, "After more than a decade of free-range development, Yuren Street has now become an area where illegal groups gather."

“There’s more!”

Qin Yun took over the conversation, "The powerful fighters of Fishman Island are all in Fishman Street, and there are more than 100,000 minions, which are enough to overthrow your rule."

"You have made so many capable members of Fishman Island stand against you, the rulers. You were able to create such a situation. Do you think you have strong governance abilities?"

"This... Alas! I didn't kill everyone there just for Captain Jinbei's sake." Neptune was speechless and could only give an excuse with an embarrassed look.

"Haha! You're telling me that you're letting the rule of a country develop because you want to have a private relationship? This is why I want to remove the power from your hands!"

"Alas..." Neptune could no longer utter any words to refute.

"Okay, if you really care about the future of Fishman Island, just accept my arrangements."

"After that, I will let some mermaids or fishmen learn how to manage the country. You can also nominate yourself or your descendants, and the best among them will work for me."

"Finally, I will teach Shirahoshi how to govern the Ryugu Kingdom. She will serve as my divine consort, become the queen of Fishman Island, and govern Fishman Island for me."

"Shirahoshi..." Hearing the voice of his beloved daughter, Neptune could no longer sit still, "She is..."

Before he finished speaking, he remembered Charlie's prediction and knew that no matter what he said or did, he could not change the future outcome.

He suddenly became dejected and sat in his chair, at a loss.

Seeing him like this, Qin Yun did not urge him.

After a long silence, Neptune thought of his beloved wife, Princess Otohime. After her murder, he began to think about the future of Fishman Island.

He vowed to fulfill his wife's ideal of peaceful coexistence with humans and work hard to enable the fish-men and mermen to migrate to land in the future...

Besides, things have developed to this point, and he is no longer able to control them. I am afraid that if he does not agree, it will not change the predetermined outcome...

Neptune's eyes gradually regained their determination. If the future of Fishman Island required him to make sacrifices, he was willing to give everything for it... He just hoped that his precious daughter Shirahoshi could live a good life.

"If you can really do all this and achieve the future that Xia Li foresaw... I can agree to your request!"

"But...you swear to protect Shirahoshi, love her, and never let her cry easily again..."

Qin Yun was stunned. Neptune was indeed a daughter slave. Now, he was actually seeking the welfare of Shirahoshi.

From this perspective, he may not be a qualified king, but he is a qualified father.

"Don't worry. Although I have never seen Shirahoshi since I came to Fishman Island, Xia Li has told me everything about her kindness and loveliness. After she becomes my consort, I will naturally give her endless love and care."

"You don't have to worry about the future of Fishman Island. The humans on the ground will discriminate against the mermaids and fishmen, but the humans in the sky will not."

"The people of the Kingdom of God under my rule will angrily destroy foreign invaders, but will remain on the sidelines and be curious about those who coexist peacefully."

"Is that so... I feel relieved then." Neptune breathed a sigh of relief. Things should be able to develop smoothly, right?

He hesitated for a moment and decided to tell Qin Yun Bai Xing's identity. As Bai Xing's future husband, he was qualified to know it all.

"Mr. Qin Yun, in fact, the Sea King Poseidon is a mermaid princess who only appears once every 800 years, and Shirahoshi just meets this requirement and has used her ability before, but she has not yet been able to truly awaken and use it proficiently."

"I know all this, Neptune. It's recorded in the history of the Kingdom of God. I didn't expect you to tell the truth only now. It seems that you have accepted reality."

"This..." Neptune laughed awkwardly. There was nothing wrong with what he did, right?

"Now that the matter has been agreed upon, the next step is to implement it. Issue an order this afternoon and have all mermaids and fishmen go to Gironcord Square tomorrow to learn about the future of Fishman Island."

"I'm going to Fishman Street to stretch my muscles and eliminate all unstable factors!"

"Oh, right, the secret treasure of the Dragon Palace Kingdom, the Jade Box, was secretly disposed of. The Jade Box was replaced by Hody Jones a few years ago. Now there is only a powerful bomb left inside."

"What!?"

Neptune's eyes widened, but Qin Yun couldn't lie to him, so he could only mutter in disbelief: "I've long felt that something was wrong with Hodie Jones, but I didn't expect him to be so bold."

Qin Yun thought about it, and when he felt that there was nothing missing, he stood up and prepared to leave. "Wait until they wake up, and you can explain it yourself. Xia Li and I are leaving first."

Neptune suddenly thought of something and said quickly:

"Wait, Mr. Qin Yun, my daughter Shirahoshi is being attacked and harassed by Vander Decken, who is the user of the Parahuman Target Target Fruit. I wonder if you can kill him as well."

Vander Decken?

Of course Qin Yun knew about this. Speaking of which, such a huge Dragon Palace Kingdom couldn't even find or kill Vander Decken, who had low combat effectiveness.

I really don't know what Neptune and his sons, and Jinbe and his Sun Pirates are doing.

At this point, he was too lazy to criticize Neptune here, and said calmly:

"Don't worry, I'll take care of him when I come back to play with Shirahoshi later."

After hearing this, Neptune felt relieved. This matter had troubled him for a long time, and he could finally solve it today.

Seeing Qin Yun looking impatient and wanting to leave, he quickly stopped him: "Wait!"

Neptune stood up and swam to the side of the throne in the hall. He took out something from behind the throne, then swam to Qin Yun and murmured with a complicated expression:

"This is a gift left for Shirahoshi by her mother, Otohime. I wanted to give it to her when she got married..."

"Well, take it. With this, Shirahoshi will surely be able to accept your sudden identity."
