Pirates: The first companion is Tom Cat

Fishman B reminded: "Captain, Princess White Star is only 6 years old!"

Vander Deken held his chin: "This seems to be a problem. You can't get married at the age of 6."

But Fishman A thought of something and said: "I heard that there is a secret medicine in Dragon Palace City. As long as you take it, anyone will grow old."

"Is that true? Can even a 6-year-old girl become mature after eating it?" Vander Deken immediately imagined the 6-year-old Bai Xing turning into a mature beauty.

Fishman A confirmed: "Yes, Captain, Princess White Star is so cute, she will definitely be a beauty when she grows up!"

Vander Deken showed a lewd smile: "Hehehehe, then we decided to use that one! The first thing to do is..."

Murloc A and Murloc B rushed to answer: "Steal the secret medicine?"

Vander Deken said to himself: "Write the wedding invitation!"

"Why???"

Ignoring the two shocked men, Vander Deken immediately took out the banknotes and started writing, but when he came to the name of the person he wanted to invite, he suddenly stopped writing and suddenly realized: "Ah, by the way, I have no friends!"

…

In the end, Vander Deken contacted Hody Jones through various channels.

Hody Jones hopes to intensify the conflict between the fishmen and humans, take the opportunity to recruit a large number of men, and then bring terror to humans, but this still requires a certain amount of personal strength.

The evil drug is a good choice. According to the official statement, the evil drug is a steroid. As long as you take one pill, your strength will be doubled, and if you take another pill, your strength will be doubled again. However, the cost of this strength is the gradual loss of life.

Hody Jones was interested in the ES drug's ability to bring strength to people, but Vander Deken, a guy with a strange brain circuit, was interested in the side effects of the ES drug's life-extending effect.

No matter what, the two of them hit it off immediately, and there was only one chance to steal the jade box.

Coincidentally, Princess Otohime came back and brought several humans with her.

Hody Jones immediately recognized this opportunity:

It would be perfect if the theft of the Tamate Box happened to happen after today's banquet and before the humans left the palace.

…

Dragon Palace City, banquet hall.

This is a relatively small banquet hall. The largest banquet hall can accommodate hundreds or thousands of soldiers. This time it was not so grand.

Half of the small banquet hall is underwater and half is above the water, and the tables and chairs are placed on the water part.

The rooms of mermaids are generally like this. There is always a part of the space without water, and beds, tables and chairs are placed on it. Compared to sleeping in the water, they prefer dry, soft, shell-shaped beds.

Anyway, as long as the murlocs put a bubble like a swimming ring on their waists, they can move in mid-air as if they were in water, without feeling inconvenient.

For them, the process of putting on bubbles is probably equivalent to putting on shoes, right?

"Your Majesty, another guest has been invited." The right minister, Haima Mermaid, led a small figure swimming in.

Kemi was a little cautious at first, but after seeing the people sitting in the banquet hall, he forgot to be nervous all of a sudden.

"Huh???" Kemi held her face, her eyes bulged, her tongue curled into wavy lines, and she made an exaggerated expression of shock, "Brother Tatsuya, why are you here?"

"Hi, Kaimi, I haven't seen you for a while, are you still not allowed to go out at home?" Zhang Da also greeted her with a smile.

"Long time no see, Kemi." Rui Mengmeng and Artoria also waved to Kemi.

Because she had mentioned Kemi to Princess Otohime before coming to Fishman Island, Princess Otohime noted it down carefully and asked Minister Zuo to invite Kemi on the way to Ryugu Castle.

It's just that I don't know if Minister Zuo caused a stir in the neighbors when he went.

After all, according to Kami, her family is a very ordinary civilian, and the place where they live is called "Xiahai".

For ordinary people like them, going to Dragon Palace City is something they can't even imagine.

Maybe kings and things like that don't have much real meaning for people like Zhang Daye who grew up under the red flag, but for Kemi, they are people with a very high status and must not be disobeyed.

However, seeing familiar people here made this nervous little girl ignore them all at once.

"Sister Mengmeng, sister Arturia!" Kaimi threw herself into Ruimengmeng's arms and rubbed against her.

Compared to Artoria, she felt that Rui Mengmeng was easier to get close to and more comfortable in her arms.

"Hey, you haven't saluted the king yet," the right minister reminded.

"Huh???" Kemi made an exaggerated panic expression again, "I forgot!"

Looking at the dazed Kemi, Princess Otohime covered her mouth and smiled: "A very energetic child."

"Since you are Mr. Tatsuya's friend, you don't have to salute." Neptune's voice was full of authority, but drool dripped from the corner of his mouth. "Since everyone is here, let's have a banquet!"

He is also a king with a bit of "frankness" in his character, otherwise how could he become friends with Whitebeard.

Neptune gave an order, and several graceful mermaid ladies served various foods on trays.

These mermaids have domineering figures, bold clothes, and unique looks and hairstyles. What they have in common is that they are all beautiful, and they look like they are dancing when serving food.

They seemed to be full of curiosity about the guests invited by the princess, and they always stared at Zhang Daye and the others when they put down their plates and turned around to leave.

Zhang Da also had a little understanding of Sanji's mood in this situation. For many gentlemen, this place is probably their dream.

Zhang Da also looked at Neptune with a look that said, "You king is really good at playing games." Neptune hurriedly waved his hand and explained:

"Mr. Tatsuya, please don't get me wrong. They are the signature maids I specially invited from the Mermaid Cafe to entertain you. I only love Otohime and I will never betray her!"

Zhang Da also believed it. After all, in the original timeline, he had not remarried Princess Otohime for ten years after her death. Although he was almost 70 years old at that time, he could not even use his special move - the sea current to throw him over his shoulder. Flash to the waist.

Tom and Bai Xing have returned under the supervision of Shark Pepper. They seem to have a good relationship. At least Tom has agreed to Bai Xing hugging him. It should not be just because Bai Xing said that he would share his dessert with Tom.

This banquet was more like a king’s family banquet. There were no complicated procedures, just Neptune’s toast:

"Then first cup, welcome everyone to Dragon Palace City!"

"Second cup, thank you all for saving the princess!"

"The third cup, celebrate the new friends in the Dragon Palace Kingdom!"

However, he was the only one who drank three glasses of wine in a row.

The princesses and princes have been giving orders to Zhang Daye and others: "Please try this grilled scallop, this wakame is also great..."

"Although we mermaids don't eat fish, this is a fish specially purchased for you. It is rare to see it on the sea."

"This tastes really good." Zhang Da also admired their attitude of not minding others eating things they didn't want to eat.

Much better than some extreme people.

Artoria quietly enjoyed various delicacies that were completely different from those on the ground. Rui Mengmeng and Kemi were talking and laughing while eating.

Tom puffed out his cheeks and competed with White Star to eat scallops.

Only Neptune hid in a corner and drew circles: "Ignored..."

But Minister Zuo did not ignore him: "Your Majesty, please pay attention to your manners. As the host of the banquet, Balabala..."

In fact, while watching the anime, I found them drinking in the sea water. It was so...

I want to watch Mermaid Lady’s anime around episode 569. Ryugu Castle held a banquet for the Straw Hats, and even earlier, in episode 523, Sanji almost died from a nosebleed.
