Neptune looked confused.

He naturally had a reason for doing such a thankless thing.

To put it bluntly, it is to adopt an attitude of not offending both ends.

After all, in the face of such a behemoth as World Government, not everyone is like Rhine, who dares to step on each other's head and shit.

Neptune is also afraid that if he turns against the World Government, what should he do if the other party sends troops to attack?

After all, The fish men island is completely different from Rhine and his gang.

Although Rhine and the others offended the Celestial Dragons to death, let alone they have the power not to fear the World Government.

You can also sit on the boat and run around.

As long as they run fast, it will not be easy for the World Government to catch them.

Although The fish men island is 10,000 meters under the sea, it stays here permanently.

Once the government sends people to crusade, it is impossible to sail away like ordinary pirates.

Therefore, for this reason, Neptune would rather be taken advantage of and pay a huge sum of money to the World government every year.

He didn't dare to turn his back on the other party.

After listening to Neptune's explanation, Rhine shrugged.

It seems that being a king is not what you imagined.

But that's none of your business.

Seeing that the atmosphere was almost brewing, Rhine gradually got to the point.

"Ahem~King Neptune, I heard that the jewel in your family's life hasn't been very good these years?"

As soon as these words came out, Neptune's expression changed suddenly, "You, how do you know?"

As early as eight years ago, the mermaid princess Shirahoshi was contacted by the target fruit ability Vanderdeken IX.

And the ability of this Devil Fruit is to allow the ability user to shoot things no matter how far apart they are.

can hit the target.

For this reason, Van der Daken IX did not wash his hands for nearly ten years, and used this as a threat to coerce Neptune to betroth Shirahoshi to himself.

And Neptune had nothing to do about it, but let Shirahoshi live alone in the hard shell tower for many years.

Facing Neptune's surprised expression, Rhine smiled lightly.

"It's an open secret in The fish men island, isn't it? Just ask anyone.

Hearing Rhine's answer, the expression on Neptune's face changed from astonishment to sadness.

"I, I'm sorry Shirahoshi, I'm not a good father..."

"Okay, okay, don't be so depressed, King Neptune, I have a way, do you want to try it?"

Rhine grinned treacherously.

"what way!?"

Neptune raised his head suddenly and asked impatiently.

Because he wanted to help his daughter out of the sea of ​​suffering so much, Neptune didn't notice the evil in Rhine's eyes at all.

"Let Shirahoshi join my pirate group and leave The fish men island together."

Rhine's words made Neptune dumbfounded.

This, what is this method?

After being stunned for several minutes, Neptune gradually came back to his senses, and said to Rhine:

"That, that...Mr. Rhine, the target fruit of Van der Dyken IX can hit Shirahoshi no matter how far away it is, even if you bring her to your pirate group, it's useless AB ".?"

Neptune suspects that Rhine is just trying to take away his jewel.

But due to high emotional intelligence, he didn't say it clearly.

The point is that this method is not very reliable.

So what if you take Shirahoshi away?

The effect of the target fruit still exists.

Rhine smiled and explained:

"But it's better than letting Princess Shirahoshi stay in the hard shell tower for the rest of her life? Besides, Vanderdyken IX is just a third-rate guy after all. His attack can be blocked by any pirate with a reward of 50 million.

I can definitely send my subordinates to protect Shirahoshi from her attacks 24 hours a day, so at least Qu Xing's life will be a hundred thousand times better than it is now, right?"

This is a lie.

Van der Daken IX's target fruit ability is certainly troublesome.

Once the target is locked, Kakuzu can continue to track the target even if the target escapes to the Tianya Sea.

Even Jinbei couldn't find a way to deal with this guy after all these years.

However, as a time traveler, Rhine has at least dozens of ways to kill this guy.

One of the easiest ways is to call Hody Jones, the murloc who has a cooperative relationship with Vanderdyken IX.

Then let Lafitte use the Hypnosis technique to control this beast, order him to lead Vanderdeken IX out, and then kill him.

But Rhine chose not to do so.

For killing Van der Daken IX, at most he would be thanked by Neptune.

In all likelihood, Princess Shirahoshi will continue to stay on The fish men island.

There is a der for that!

What Rhine has to do is to find a way to get Neptune to give Shirahoshi TOEFL to himself.

Then wait for yourself to fill up Shirahoshi's favorability, so that she can't leave him at all.

Then kill Van der Dyken IX.

This is the only way.

"this….………"

After listening to Rhine's speech, Neptune fell into a tangle for a moment.

What he had to admit was that what Rhine said had some truth to it.

The only trouble with Van der Daken IX's target fruit ability is the 100% hit that is hard to guard against.

But the power is not worth mentioning at all.

If there are 24-hour personal protection of some powerful pirates, there should be no problem.

It's a pity that Neptune has no such people under his command.

Although Jinbei has this ability, men and women are different after all.

Moreover, with Jinbei's ability, it would be too overqualified for him to be a bodyguard.

"Think about it, King Neptune, if you entrust Shirahoshi to me, I can let the female pirates of the Nine Snake Pirates protect her, and then Shirahoshi can live freely like an ordinary girl, isn't it? Is it not good?"

Noticing the hesitant look on Neptune's face, Rhine hit the rails while it was hot.

"Uh…..………"

Neptune stroked his beard tangled, and after hesitating for a long time, he said to Rhine:

"Mr. Rhine... give me a day to think about it?"

"Of course it's okay, I didn't mean to force you, I just feel that Princess Shirahoshi is too pitiful.

Rhine knew the truth of playing hard to get, and didn't push Neptune too hard. After a friendly smile, she got up and left the palace.

Not long after, Rhine returned to the residence that Neptune had prepared for them, and hugged Nami who was sitting in front of the shell-shaped dresser and putting on makeup from behind.

"What are you doing? Scared me to death!"

Nami exclaimed.

Well, no struggle to get used to it.

"You're already so pretty, what makeup are you wearing? Give other women a chance."

Rhine picked up Nami and walked towards the battlefield.

"Is that one of the most beautiful Pirate Empresses?"

Nami sneered in response.

"You are much prettier than her."

The first rule of picking up girls: When you are with a woman, you must devalue other women.

"Open your eyes and talk nonsense."

Nami rolled his eyes.

Soon, feeling the push from the lower part, Nami exclaimed:

"Wait! You bastard! Put something on for me!"

She doesn't want to go back to the Straw Hat Pirates with a big belly.

Just die straight away, okay?

the other side.

After Rhine left, Neptune immediately summoned Jinbei and his ministers.

Discuss what Rhine said just now.

"What do you guys think of this man's proposal?"

Neptune asked after repeating Rhine's words to everyone.

"This... Your Majesty, the other party is a pirate. Would it be too dangerous to entrust Princess Shirahoshi to them?"

"But Her Royal Highness has lived alone in the Hard Shell Tower for eight years. Do you want her to die of old age there all her life?"

Many murloc ministers held their own opinions.

Some thought Rhine and his gang were brutal and untrustworthy.

Others feel that this is the only way to restore Princess Shirahoshi's freedom.

After all, Shirahoshi has lived alone in the Shell Tower for eight years.

If there is no way to solve it, the princess is afraid that she will really die of old age in it for the rest of her life.

The two sides were at odds for a while, and Neptune could only ask Jinbei for help and asked:

""|| Jinbei, what do you think?"

Jinbei frowned tightly, and replied:

"Your Majesty, I have met the Rhine Pirates in the Summit War before. Their behavior is too vicious. To be honest, I think it is too dangerous for Princess Shirahoshi to entrust them."

"Then you mean to refuse?"

Neptune frowned.

Jinbei shook his head, "No, Her Royal Highness has lived alone in the Hard Shell Tower for eight years, and it is really not an option to continue like this."

"The old man thinks it's not as good as this... The old man will follow. If Rhine wants to do something bad to the princess, the old man will stop him even if he risk his life!"

The meaning of Jinbei is very simple and clear.

Try entrusting Shirahoshi to Rhine for a while.

If he made any bad moves, Jinbei would strike.

Although Jinbei also feels that relying on his own strength may not be able to achieve much effect.

But at least it can play a monitoring role.

If there is a conflict between the two parties afterwards, risking your own life can also buy time for the princess to escape.

"Will this trouble you too much? Jinbei."

Neptune said guiltily (of good money).

According to Jinbei's statement, isn't it just letting him be a bodyguard?

Jinbei laughed and said:

"Your Majesty, you don't need to worry, the old man is no longer Shichibukai, and I have nothing to do in a short time, if I can help Princess Shirahoshi, I would also like to ask for it.

Early the next morning.

The knock on the door knocked Rhine, who was holding Nami and dreaming sweetly, from her sleep.

"Who is it? You want to die early in the morning, don't you?"

At this time, Rhine has already woken up.

It's a pity that the rowdy last night was a bit fierce... It was too much for a while.

"No, I'm very sorry, Mr. Rhine, yes, His Majesty the King invited you to Dragon Palace City, saying that he wanted to give you an answer."

The murloc waiter outside the door trembled in fright.

Rhine's drowsiness disappeared in an instant, and she replied:

"Okay, I see, thank you for your hard work."

"What, what's the matter?"

Nami rubbed his sleepy eyes with hazy eyesight, tried to stand up and asked.

"You'll find out later, do you want to go together?"

Rhine lowered his head and tapped the piano on her forehead.

...the bottom hurts. "

"

"Uh... Then you can rest for a while."

PS: Don’t worry, everyone, I didn’t intend to include Sister Zhou in this book, I was just complaining to you before.

What's more, my body hasn't recovered yet, and the medicine I bought online has not been shipped. It hurts, it hurts so much, I want to die.....
