Chapter 465: Otohime and Shirahoshi

"It really is a beautiful place."

Robin whispered in awe, gazing at the beautiful island, as if it had stepped straight out of the pages of some fairy tale.

This place was in no way inferior in beauty to Heaven Island.

Yeruashi said regretfully, looking at the beautiful Gyojin Island, "It's a pity that it's not possible to appreciate the beauty of the Mermaid Princess during his first visit to Gyojin Island, because she should be about ten years old now..."

Hancock pouted when she heard Yeruashi's words, "Can any fish compare to me?"

She was sure that there was no woman in the whole world who surpassed her in beauty.

"Of course it's impossible."

Yeruashi smiled, gently stroking Hancock's cheek.

Shirahoshi, as a mermaid, should have a unique and inimitable charm, very different from human, but Yeruashi didn't think she could surpass Hancock in terms of beauty.

Hancock's beauty, which has the Mero Mero no Mi, should be unsurpassed in the whole One Piece world, but it's likely that everything would be different if the Mero Mero no Mi was in Shirahoshi.

"Hmm, but this generation's Mermaid Princess is pretty special... After all, if I'm not mistaken, she should be one of the three ancient weapons, Poseidon."

Robin said thoughtfully. Looking at Yeruashi.

"You're fine."

Yeruashi nodded, "Let's go take a look inside."

...

Before long.

At Ryugu Palace, located at the top of Gyojin Island.

Neptune, the king of Gyojin Island, came out of Ryugu Palace, greeting the three guests brought by the guards, "I apologize for the late greeting, I didn't expect that Mr. Yeruashi decided to visit Gyojin Island..."

Neptune's voice and eyes betrayed a strong tension.

Although the Fishmen Island is at the bottom of the deep ocean, the loudest news still arrives here regularly, so Neptune is aware of the general situation in the vastness of the sea and realizes how terrible and dangerous Yeruashi is.

Just the word and flag of Whitebeard was enough for no one else to dare to insult the Island of Fish Men, and the Traveler, no doubt, was on the absolute top of the sea, just like Whitebeard.

No...

The Traveler is even much more dangerous than Whitebeard.

This was clearly indicated by the fact that he ravaged Marijoa and destroyed many Celestial Dragons, apparently somehow insulting him.

Due to the fact that Gyojin Island lies directly below the Holy Land of Marijoa, King Neptune was well aware of how terrible the Celestial Dragons are, even Whitebeard tried not to come into conflict with them, because this is tantamount to declaring war on the World Government.

But even the Celestial Dragons were afraid of the Traveler!

"No need for that."

Yeruashi smiled, "I decided to look here because I had heard about the beautiful scenery of Gyojin Island."

Neptune breathed a sigh of relief and smiled when he heard that Yeruashi appeared on Fish-Men Island simply as a tourist: "It is a great honor for Fish-Men Island to receive such an evaluation from you, we really have quite a few beautiful landscapes that Mr. Yeruashi should definitely take a look at."

Yeruashi was nicknamed the traveler.

Judging from the known information, he really has a passion for traveling, but Neptune still did not dare to relax, because a terrible disaster might fall on the Fish-Men Island if Yeruashi is not satisfied with the local attractions.

Queen Otohime, who was following Neptune, bowed politely to Yeruashi, "My name is Otohime, I can give you a tour if you are not familiar with Gyojin Island."

Yeruashi nodded with a smile, "Thank you for your concern."

In the normal course of events, Otohime should be dead by now, but Yeruashi was not at all surprised to find her alive, for the destruction of the Holy Land of Marijoa had an impact on the entire world, including the Island of the Fish Men.

The Heavenly Dragon did not suffer a shipwreck on the Island of Fish Men and there were no accidents during the collection of signatures for peaceful coexistence with people, and Shirahoshi did not reveal the power of Poseidon, did not become the target of Vander Dekken IX and was not imprisoned in a Tower.

Yeruashi had already looked into the past and knew that events had unfolded completely differently.

This piqued his interest.

Otohime smiled at Yeruashi's reply, "Then follow me, we'll just have time to finish our walk through the Ryugu Palace for dinner."

Neptune breathed a sigh of relief as he watched Otohime lead Yeruashi to the Ryugu Palace garden.

At this moment, he could finally relax completely, because he knew Otohime's skills well and he was sure that she could give Yeruashi the best tour.

"Dinner must be made with the best ingredients!"

Neptune turned to the nearest guard with the utmost seriousness.

"Yes!"

The guard nodded and immediately went to deliver the king's order.

...

The Ryugu Palace's garden was like a fairytale underwater forest.

It was dotted with a variety of coral reefs of different colors, where fabulous plants and exquisite shells could be seen.

"Ah, it's really a fabulous sight, by the way.... Don't you have a poneglyph?"

Robin, who was admiring the beautiful garden, suddenly thought of something and turned to Otohime.

Although these views are really beautiful, Robin, as an archaeologist, was more interested in history. Each message written on a single poneglyph was valuable in its own way, despite the knowledge of the events of the Void century.

After all, in addition to information about the events of the Void century, many poneglyphs contain the ancient history of the places where they were placed.

Otohime looked at Robin, "You're right, we have a poneglyph, but it's located in the sea forest, do you want to go there right now?"

Robin looked at Yeruashi, who was admiring the scenery of Ryugu Palace, and shook her head negatively, "No need, let's see there tomorrow."

"Well... the sea forest also has beautiful scenery."

Otohime nodded with a smile.

Otohime's gentle nature blended perfectly with Robin's calm nature, so they managed to establish a common language very quickly.

As Yeruashi and the others were leisurely strolling around Ryugu Palace, a figure suddenly appeared in front of them, moving in their direction.

It was a very cute and cuddly little mermaid, but it would not be entirely correct to call her small, for although she really looked like a child, in fact, her height was more than twice Yeruashi's height.

She was Shirahoshi, the nine-year-old mermaid princess.

"Mom!"

Shirahoshi exclaimed with joy when she saw Otohime, and only then turned her attention to the guests.

The Mermaid Princess looked at the strangers with undisguised curiosity, showing no wariness, for unlike the original plot, she did not go through a long imprisonment in a Tower, besides, Yeruashi and the others were accompanied by her mother.

"Mom, they are..."

"Be polite to the guests, Shirahoshi, this is Mr. Yeruashi."

Otohime looked sternly at Shirahoshi and introduced Yeruashi, then turned her head, "This is my daughter Shirahoshi, don't consider her rude, she is very young and not yet familiar with etiquette."

After receiving a rare reprimand from her mother, Shirahoshi immediately became very shy and cautiously looked at Yeruashi: "Sir.... Mr. Yeruashi."

"Don't worry about etiquette."

Yeruashi smiled gently at Shirahoshi.

At this moment, he usually did not emit any aura and naturally merged with the surrounding world, thanks to the body of the six paths.

Shirahoshi, who is an ancient weapon Poseidon, instinctively felt close to Yeruashi, who was in harmony with nature, so he did not feel any wariness, but on the contrary looked at him curiously, blinking with her large and beautiful eyes.

"Hmm, so big... Somehow, I really can never compare to her."

Hancock whispered thoughtfully, looking at Shirahoshi.

He couldn't have imagined that the Mermaid Princess would be so great.

At that moment, he put aside the concern for the beauty of the Mermaid Princess that Yeruashi had mentioned earlier.

Shirahoshi not only belonged to a different race, but also differed so much in size that it simply didn't make sense to compare, not to mention that she now looked less than ten years old.
