The blackening of the heavens begins with Hokage

Li Yaoxiang nodded.

Acknowledging the meaning of Princess Otohime's words.

"I have something to do and need to leave for a while. I hope you can help me take good care of this child during my absence."

Say it.

Li Yaoxiang slightly raised the Luffy in his hand.

At this time, Luffy stopped running.

But her eyes still remained shining, staring at Princess Otohime motionlessly.

Staring at Princess Otohime's fish tail.

Princess Otohime, who was nicknamed "The Loving One", didn't mind Luffy's rude look. She asked with a smile: "This child is..."

Li Yaoxiang: "He is my nephew. You just need to help me take good care of him before I come back."

obviously.

Li Yaoxiang didn't want to continue this topic.

Princess Otohime saw this and asked no more questions.

Princess Otohime: "Don't worry, you are the benefactor of our Fish-Man Island. Since you asked us to help you take care of him, I will definitely treat him as my own child.

It just so happens that my daughter is only 3 years old this year, so she can be his companion."

Li Yaoxiang: "Well, I'll leave it to you."

Say it.

Li Yaoxiang put down Luffy.

With a thought, an air door appeared behind him.

He turned around and left.

Luffy, on the other hand, didn't pay attention to the conversation between them from beginning to end.

He didn't care that Li Yaoxiang left just now.

Her eyes were still shining brightly at Princess Otohime.

Princess Otohime stepped forward and picked up Luffy: "Hey, can you tell me what your name is?"

Luffy: "My name is Luffy! Auntie, why are your legs different from mine?"

"How brave——!" Hearing Luffy call Princess Otohime Auntie, the guard beside him immediately shouted.

But he was quickly suppressed by Princess Otohime.

Princess Otohime hugged Luffy kindly and said, "Auntie, I am a mermaid and you are a human. Of course our legs are different. Luffy, right? How old are you this year? Where are your parents?"

Luffy: "Oh, I am 4 years old today. I have no parents. By the way, Auntie, does the mermaid need to poop?"

"You——!" When the guard on the side heard Luffy's question, he became furious.

I wish I could give Luffy, a human child who talks nonsense and is rude, a lesson.

But Princess Otohime is different.

I heard Luffy say that he has no parents.

Princess Otohime felt a surge of sympathy and motherly love on the spot.

She glared hard at the angry guard and told him not to argue with the child. Then she looked at Luffy with tender eyes and said, "Since Luffy you don't have a father or a mother, then you can take care of your aunt from now on."

Just think of it as a mother. Auntie will definitely love you as much as she loves her own children."

The words just fell.

The guards were shocked.

Princess Otohime is the queen of their Ryugu Kingdom, and she must be responsible for her people in every move she makes.

How could you recognize a son so casually?

What's more, the son is still a human being?

All the guards looked anxious and wanted to dissuade Princess Otohime, but Princess Otohime didn't listen to their words. It's not that she didn't understand the reason. But her character was like this, otherwise she wouldn't be called "Otohime".

He is called a 'loving person'.

Of course, part of the reason is because I want to repay Li Yaoxiang's kindness.

Part of the reason is that he wants his children to get along with humans more.

Let them realize for themselves that humans, mermaids, and murlocs can really coexist peacefully.

While all the guards were trying to dissuade him, Luffy remained in a daze.

He is four years old this year.

A bit silly.

Seems like he doesn't care about anything.

But that doesn't mean he doesn't understand what 'mom and dad' mean.

It doesn't mean that he really has no curiosity at all about his 'mom and dad'.

After being stunned for a long time, he didn't think too much and just followed the most direct wish in his heart. He immediately narrowed his eyes and said with a bright smile: "Okay!"

The words "Okay" made all the guards despair.

But no matter what, they couldn't change Princess Otohime's feelings at the moment.

I can only hope that after returning to the palace, the king can persuade Empress Otohime more and let Empress Otohime take back her life.

…

After a while.

In the palace of Dragon Palace Kingdom.

The left minister, the catfish mermaid, and the right minister, the seahorse mermaid, were in love in the palace. They kept advising King Neptune that they must prevent Queen Otohime from accepting Luffy as her godson.

The noise gave Neptune a splitting headache.

Neptune raised his forehead and shook his head, and peeked helplessly at Queen Otohime. She was even more speechless when she saw that Queen Otohime ignored the ministers in the palace and continued to play with Luffy.

During this period, Neptune actually didn't pay much attention to the concept of "peaceful coexistence between mermaids and humans".

He was deeply in love with Princess Otohime, so he allowed Princess Otohime to tinker with him.

In the original work, it was not until the death of Princess Otohime that he made up his mind to inherit Princess Otohime's last wish and became the biggest supporter of the policy of "peaceful coexistence of mermaids and humans".

He was so annoyed by the silver carp mermaid and the seahorse mermaid that he could only say out loud: "My dear concubine, what they say is not unreasonable. How about..."

Princess Otohime straightened her face and insisted: "No! I have already promised Mr. Li that I will help him take good care of Luffy. Mr. Li is the benefactor of our Fish-Man Island, how can we break our promise?!

"

Neptune spread his hands helplessly: "But... but... you don't have to accept him as your godson to take care of him? The left and right ministers are right. If you accept a human as your godson, the impact this will have on our Dragon Palace Kingdom is really great.

It’s too big.”

Others tried again and again in front of Luffy to dissuade him from accepting Luffy as his godson.

gradually.

Princess Otohime also developed a protective mentality.

"I don't care!"

"Luffy is so cute, he likes to get along with me so much, and he has no discrimination against the mermaid clan. I will accept him as my godson!"

"As for the trouble, let's think of a way to solve this problem together."

Say it.

Princess Otohime took Luffy's little hand, stuffed a piece of 'chicken drumstick' into Luffy's mouth, and said softly: "Luffy, let's leave them alone. Mom will take you to meet your brothers and sisters and introduce them to them."

you know.

They will be very happy to know that you have an extra brother."

Luffy didn't care that much.

There is something delicious.

Someone loves me again.

This was a treatment he had never received from his grandfather.

Just like this, while eating chicken legs, he nodded ignorantly and followed Princess Otohime out of the hall in a daze.

Leaving behind a heartbroken Neptune, as well as the two ministers on the left and right...
