"That's great."
After a while.
Shirahoshi called out again, "Lord Ron..."
"Ok?"
Ron, who was drinking and using his Observation Haki to search for Vander Decken, snapped out of his daze: "What is it now?"
Bai Xing whispered to him, "Thank you..."
Ron smiled and said, "There's no need to say thank you so many times. I don't like hearing it."
"Is that so..."
"Ah."
Bai Xing looked at Ron, who had his back to her, her eyes crinkling into crescents, and a happy smile appeared on her face, which was already beginning to resemble a stunning beauty.
It's so great to have met Lord Ron...
As Mecaro carried the two of them over the bustling Fishman Street, countless mermaids, fishmen, and human pirates saw them.
"That's... Her Highness the Mermaid Princess?!"
"Princess Shirahoshi has actually left the Dragon Palace?!"
"That human is...?!"
"Could it be... that human kidnapped the mermaid princess?"
"Are you an idiot? Does Princess Shirahoshi look like she's been kidnapped?!"
"Indeed, Princess Shirahoshi seems...very happy."
"In the end what happened?"
Just as they were puzzled, a huge spiked club suddenly flew from the sky, whistling as it flew toward the white star on Mecaro's back.
Princess Shirahoshi!
"Danger!"
The mermaids and fishmen below were instantly thrown into a panic.
As Bai Xing turned her head, a huge spiked club rapidly enlarged in her vision, causing her pupils to shrink.
The next moment!
A figure appeared in mid-air and kicked out.
Amidst the shocked gazes of countless mermaids and fishmen below, the massive spiked mace covered in cold barbs was kicked to pieces.
Coming to her senses, Bai Xing stared at his retreating figure, her face filled with shock, and murmured:
"Lord Ron... is so powerful."
With the Endless Wine Jar in his left hand, Ron stood in mid-air with his eyes closed, smiling in one direction: "Found it."
He raised his right hand and, to Bai Xing's astonishment, pulled a silver revolver from the void in front of him.
Then aim in one direction and pull the trigger.
boom!
A silver bullet, imbued with an aura of dominance, shot out from the muzzle like a streak of silver light, heading towards a certain spot in Fishman Street.
Inside a secluded, dark building in Fishman Street.
The Paramecia-type Target-Target Fruit user, Vander Decken, who was in the middle of making weapons, hadn't even realized what was happening when the roof above his head was instantly pierced through. A silver light, in his rapidly shrinking, horrified eyes, struck his brow, leaving a trail of blood and a small hole of unknown depth in the ground.
"How, how could..."
Van der Deiken never knew who killed him until his death.
How were you able to find him so accurately?
Above Fishman Street, amidst the stunned and shocked gazes of countless fishmen and mermaids below, Ron sheathed his smoldering silver revolver, turned to Shirahoshi who was equally unaware of what had happened, and smiled, "It's resolved. Let's go back to Ryugu Castle."
"Huh?" Shirahoshi was taken aback. "Lord Ron, what... is it resolved?"
"That's the Vander Decken who was harassing and threatening you. I've already taken care of him. From now on, you don't have to stay in the Hard Shell Tower anymore. You can go wherever you want to go."
Ron's words made Bai Xing's eyes widen slightly, filled with shock, surprise, excitement, and disbelief.
Something that left his father and brother helpless.
Lord Ron solved it so easily?
"Really? I really won't have to stay in the hard-shell tower alone anymore?"
"of course."
After the two humans and the shark returned to the Dragon Palace.
Soon, Shark Star led the Neptune Army there and found the dead Vander Decken. After confirming this news, Princess White Star no longer had to stay in the Hard Shell Tower.
King Neptune was overjoyed and hosted another banquet, leading his three princes and Princess Whitestar to entertain Ron and his companions.
At the banquet, Kuina and her friends became very good friends with the innocent and lovely Princess Shirahoshi.
Ron and his companions stayed in the Dragon Palace for a while, spending a memorable and enjoyable time with the mermaid princess, Shirahoshi.
This eventful year has finally come to an end.
In the year 1517, Ron created a series of events that shook the North Blue, the Drum Island incident, and the massive attack on Mary Geoise and Marineford in a single day. These three major events that shocked the seas within a year made his reputation as a traveler resound throughout the ocean, making him a new legend whose popularity rivaled that of the Four Emperors.
Early 1518 of the Haiyuan Calendar.
Ron is 18 years old, and Shirahoshi is 12 years old.
"Lord Ron, and Sister Kuina, Sister Robin, Sister Conis, Sister Bonney, and Little Seven, you absolutely have to come to Fishman Island to play with me again!"
Bai Xing said goodbye to the group while tears streamed down her face.
"Okay, we'll come again if we have the chance."
"Really?"
"real."
"Lord Ron and I made a pinky promise."
Under the smiling gazes of Robin and the others, as well as Neptune, Shark Star and the others, Ron reluctantly reached out and touched her fingers.
Bai Xing immediately stopped crying and smiled at him with an extremely happy expression.
It's a bit of a shame that Ron can't see it.
After bidding farewell to Shirahoshi, with whom they shared a deep affection, Ron and his companions sailed away from Fishman Island in the Voyager and headed for the New World.
……
[P.S.: The Fishman Island part was a bit difficult to write; there wasn't much plot, so it was rather bland. I hope you won't think I'm padding it out; I really wasn't.]
[Next, we're heading into a new world, which should gradually become more exciting and intense. At the beginning of the month, I'd like to ask for monthly tickets and subscriptions. If you think it's good, please remember to vote and leave a review. Thank you!]
148, A Lively New World
At the beginning of the year 1518 in the Haiyuan calendar.
A message was sent from Fishman Island to the New World.
"That traveler Ron has appeared on Fishman Island, and it seems he's about to enter the New World!"
"The other members of the Sky Calamity Brigade are still alive. The news that they were killed by Bartholomew Kuma is a rumor. Whether it's the female swordswoman named Kuina or the Iron Witch, Nico Robin is still by the side of that traveler Ron!!"
……
This news caused quite a stir in the New World, drawing the attention of the World Government's intelligence agencies, the Navy, various news outlets, and pirate factions to this most powerful sea area.
News came quickly.
Someone witnessed a ship rising from the sea and floating into the sky in a sea area of the New World, and took a picture, confirming that the ship was indeed a vessel of the Sky Calamity Brigade.
This news directly confirms that the traveler Ron has indeed arrived in the New World!
"That kid has already arrived in the New World...?"
Upon hearing the news, Zephyr immediately led Einbinz and the others towards the area where the rumor had been circulating.
In the New World, most islands are under the control of the Four Emperors. Pirates who venture into this strongest sea area either challenge the Four Emperors or are recruited by them.
The navy stationed in this area consists of elite forces, which are incomparable to those of the Four Seas.
The three Marine Admirals, Akainu, Kizaru, and Aokiji, take turns commanding the Marines in this area to guard against any possible actions by the Four Emperors.
During this period, the naval commander in charge of this sea area was Aokiji, Kuzan.
"Oh my, so that kid who's been causing all these big incidents has arrived in the new world... He's quite the troublemaker."
Aokiji felt a headache after hearing the news.
"It's rare that I'm enjoying some peace and quiet, but it looks like I'll be busy soon..."
as predicted.
