Pirates: The first companion is Tom Cat

After finally explaining to Bai Xing that those candies were hung up for decoration later, Ryugu Castle was already in sight.

The so-called Dragon Palace City is the royal palace of the Dragon Palace Kingdom, built on the highest point of Fishman Island.

On Fish-Man Island, the higher you live, the closer you are to the sun, which also means the higher your status.

Ryugu City is like a miniature fish-man island, wrapped in a double layer of bubble wrap, and then suspended in mid-air using unknown principles.

The entrance is located directly below, and the channel descends from the city - it is a water column wrapped in bubble wrap. After entering the bubble, you swim up the waterway and enter the interior of Ryugu City.

Since the exterior of the Ryugujo Castle cabin is completely coated, there is no need to worry about water getting inside.

The Ryugu Castle passed through the long and dark waterway, emerged from the ground, and arrived in front of the gate of Ryugu Castle.

What catches everyone's eyes is a magnificent and dreamlike palace, decorated with various corals and huge shells, and a lifelike golden dragon carved above the palace.

There are also various fish, turtles, shrimps and crabs swimming around, making the palace look not deserted.

"Is this the Dragon Palace of the East China Sea?" Rui Mengmeng came to a world with stories about Journey to the West. No wonder she thought of the Crystal Palace.

Tom's swimming soul was about to move, but because it was held down by Zhang Daye, it was just stupid.

Arturia admired the rare sight with novelty. As a person who had just learned to swim, it was a wonderful feeling to have the opportunity to visit the small island and palace ten thousand meters under the sea.

"Because most of the space in Dragon Palace City is filled with sea water, please use this next." Minister Zuo, a catfish mermaid wearing a monocle, took out a few pink coral branches and distributed them to Zhang Daye and the others:

"This is bubble coral. When you pinch it, bubbles will pop out. You can move around in the water with this."

"It seems to be quite fun." Zhang Da also pinched the small coral branch in his hand, and a bubble grew from small to large to envelop him, and when he let go of his hand, the bubble stopped expanding—another unscientific prop.

Zhang Da also made a bubble for Tom to let him play while not trying to murder him.

Artoria and Rui Mengmeng each made a bubble, but Shark Chili refused: "I can move underwater without bubbles."

Everyone followed the Neptune family out of the cabin, and it felt weird to swim in a bubble, because the bubble has a certain degree of toughness, so the hands and feet can still be protected by the bubble when they stretch out a little, but it doesn't feel right. flexible.

Perhaps considering their inconvenience in moving at the bottom of the sea, Minister Zuo found a means of transportation for them: "Please sit on the Halibut."

A large flounder swam over and let everyone sit on its back, which felt like riding on a magic carpet.

Zhang Daye immediately changed the tongue twister: "Zhang Daye came from the sea, and there was a Tama sitting under his butt."

Rui Mengmeng probably knew this part and complained: "Boss, your tongue twisters are really bad, they don't rhyme at all."

Zhang Da was also unconvinced and said: "If you change the language, it will rhyme."

Rui Mengmeng asked: "Which one should I change?"

Zhang Da also imitated Tom and spread his hands: "I didn't know, if you ask Tom, he knows a lot and he can always find one."

"Huh? Where is Teacher Tom?" Rui Mengmeng realized that Tom was missing when he mentioned Tom.

At this time, Minister Zuo also panicked and said: "Oh no, Princess Bai Xing is missing!"

Zhang Da's heart skipped a beat, didn't Tom kidnap the person?

It's not a big deal to take him out to play, as I'm afraid he'll take someone out to cook him. After all, he's the kind of cat that can even cook himself if he gets ruthless.

At this time, Shark Star, who looked the most stable, pointed to the top of his head and said, "Don't worry, my sister is there, I'm always paying attention."

Tom followed a small fish, and when the little fish swung, he swung with it, while White Star followed Tom, and when Tom swung, she also swung her tail.

Not long after, Tom changed his target to a seahorse, followed its example, straightened out his belly, curled his tail forward, and swam upright.

White Star followed Tom, trying to curl her tail forward and having fun, with a clothed shark following her.

Three different creatures, arranged according to size, "sliding" in the water in the same posture, look very happy.

Today Zhang Da also understood two truths: The first is that the rhetoric of the girl's silver bell-like laughter is really apt. The second one is...sound can really travel in water.

Minister Zuo said anxiously: "How can this be done? How can the princess..."

"It's okay." Shark Star interrupted him, "Bai Xing hasn't been this happy for a long time. We should be grateful to Mr. Tom."

Huang Xing and Kuai Xing also supported: "That's right, let my sister have fun."

Minister Zuo stopped talking. During the time when Princess Otohime left, he had seen what the princess was worried about. At this time, it is better not to mention etiquette.

Zhang Da also called out to Shark Chili very uneasily: "Shark Chili, you follow me and keep an eye on Tom. Don't run into any danger."

Shark Star thought that Zhang Da was also worried about Tom's safety: "Please rest assured, Mr. Tatsuya, there are no dangerous creatures in Dragon Palace City. That shark is called Mekaro, and it is Bai Xing's pet."

Zhang Daye said insincerely: "Ah, I'm afraid Tom will be ignorant and bite Princess Bai Xing or something."

You are so naive. The most dangerous creature in the world has just entered your Dragon Palace City.

Entering the palace gate, two rows of soldiers stood neatly on both sides of the corridor, shouting in unison: "Welcome back, His Majesty the King, Your Highness the Princess!"

The momentum is good, but it feels quite weak?

There was a soldier among them who looked a bit ferocious, but his appearance was unremarkable. Zhang Daye didn't pay attention for a moment and just silently followed Nipton to the banquet hall.

…

This soldier's name is Hody Jones, who is now a captain-level figure in Neptune's army. He is one of the few people on Fishman Island who does not want the princess to return safely.

He grew up in Fishman Street, and the people he admired most were Tiger and Aaron.

Tiger is the hero of the fish people, and Aaron's cruel attitude towards humans is very suitable for Hody Jones. He believes that humans who cannot breathe in water are inferior races, and the fish people should use terror to rule humans and make humans afraid. The fishmen didn't dare to resist.

But he didn't know that Aaron didn't dare to mess around on the Grand Line since he was beaten by Kizaru. Recently, he was quietly forming a fish-man pirate group to prepare to go to Four Waves.

So Hody Jones belongs to the kind of fish-man who has never seen much of the world and thinks he is invincible.

Someone recently contacted him to cooperate in stealing the Jade Box, the national treasure of the Ryugu Kingdom, because it contains medicines and formulas that can give people strength.

The person who contacted him was called Vander Deken IX. This man was extraordinary. He had "Ninth" in his name. He had a family inheritance.

There is a legend passed down from generation to generation in their family, that is, the mermaid princess has the power to control the sea king.

In the past, Vander Deken IX always thought it was just a rumor, but until that day, the ship of the Celestial Dragon Musgarud crashed, and Princess Otohime kindly came to save him.

But Musgard took the opportunity to kidnap Princess Otohime. Shirahoshi was so frightened that he lost control of his emotions and cried. At this time, a group of giant sea kings appeared around the fish-man island, scaring the Celestial Dragons.

Most people thought it was a coincidence or didn't notice White Star at all, but Vander Deken realized that what had been passed down in his family was true.

Vanderdeken excitedly shared this incident with his two subordinates, Murloc A and Murloc B.

Fishman A said excitedly: "Captain, if we can get the mermaid princess, can we do whatever we want?"

"That's right!" Murloc B agreed: "If all the giant sea kings act together, they can even destroy the world!"

"Of course, we must get the mermaid princess!" Vander Deken immediately thought of a clever plan, "First, I want to become her husband!"

Fishman A and Fishman B: "Huh???"

It’s not that I’m too lazy to name Fish-Man A and Fish-Man B, but when they appeared on the stage, one had A printed on their clothes and the other had B printed on them…

Then Vanderdyken...he has this magical brain circuit, he wrote a love letter to 6-year-old Shirahoshi and proposed...
