"The king finally appears again!"
"We won't fail this time!"
···
Several voices reached Princess Shirahoshi's ears, making her a little scared.
"Basire-sama, I just seemed to hear someone talking in the deep sea."
Shirahoshi shrunk and looked into the dark deep sea. She seemed to see several huge shadows, which made her lean back in fear.
"Shirahoshi, don't be afraid, I'm going to tell you something important that I think you should know."
"You are actually the mermaid princess who only appears once in hundreds of years in Fish-Man Island. You have the power of Poseidon who can communicate with the giant Sea Kings."
"The voices you just heard may be the Sea Kings trying to communicate with you."
"In the future, you have to slowly learn to make friends with them and let them help you."
"Then you can become the one who protects Fish-Man Island and bring your people to the surface so that they can live safely under the sun."
Basire jumped on Shirahoshi's shoulder and gently comforted the timid mermaid. If she could learn to control her power as Poseidon, no one would be able to bully the people of Fish-Man Island.
"Really? I remember seeing giant Sea Kings when I was little."
Shirahoshi cried loudly when she remembered the death of her mother, and also saw the huge Sea Kings gathering outside Fish-Man Island. It turned out that she had called them over without her knowledge.
At that time, Vander Decken IX also noticed this scene, so he became obsessed with Princess Shirahoshi and wanted to marry her to have control of such a powerful weapon.
"You will become very powerful in the future, so don't be afraid."
Basire continued to encourage Shirahoshi, and he also looked out at the deep sea, wondering if he would ever get the power to listen to the voices of all things, which could be a great boon.
···
Hearing Basire's comfort and encouragement, Shirahoshi also understood the heavy responsibility she had.
It turns out that her power is needed to allow humans and the people of Fish-Man Island to coexist peacefully.
"Well, Basire-sama, I hope that one day I can be as powerful as you and build a peaceful and stable country."
Shirahoshi said seriously, already having a goal in her mind.
During the conversation between the two, those giant Sea Kings did not show up and the Ark Maxim left the deep sea and returned to the surface without problem.
"Take off, take off fast, I don't want to return there ever again!"
Nami, who's now a devil fruit user, also has a fear of the deep sea. When they went to Fish-Man Island from Sabaody Archipelago, they did not encounter the giant Sea Kings, but now when they left they happened to see those giant shadows that almost scared her to death.
Later, she decided that there was no need for her to return to Fish-Man Island. The Ark Maxim could pass over the Red Line anyway.
Under the power of lightning, the Ark Maxim quickly took off from the sea and flew into the sky.
They looked towards the sea one by one, and actually saw several huge shadows in the sea. It turned out that these big guys had been following them.
"Stop following me! Just go back!"
Shirahoshi shouted to the sea, and then looked at the blue sea with a smile. It turned out that there was so much vastness on the sea and the sun was so warm.
This is much warmer and comfortable than the sunlight they get through the roots of the Sun Tree Eve in Fish-Man Island.
Those huge shadows seemed to have heard Shirahoshi's words and disappeared completely into the sea in a moment.
"Shirahoshi, you are awesome, those Sea Kings really listen to you!"
Nami also flashed onto Shirahoshi's shoulder and said appreciatively with a little envy in her tone.
And Nico Robin looked at Basire, sure enough, this guy knew all these secrets.
That's probably why he went to Fish-Man Island specifically to abduct Shirahoshi, who turned out to have the power of Poseidon.
"Sister Nami, you are also great, you can turn into lightning."
Shirahoshi also looked at the powerful Nami with envy. The power of lightning was too terrifying, and it was also very good at restraining fish-men and even sea kings.
"This is what the sea looks like from the sky!"
Shyarly was smoking a pipe and fell into remembrance. When she was a child, she and Arlong secretly went out of Fish-Man Island to take a peek at the bustling Sabaody Archipelago.
But later on, Arlong became more and more cruel as his hate for humans increased, so the pair of brother and sister started living separately.
She went to the Mermaid District and opened a cafe, while Arlong was still working as a gangster in the Mermaid District, and later joined Fisher Tiger's Sun Pirates to roam the sea.
After Fisher Tiger's death, the remaining Sun Pirates had huge differences. Arlong went to take revenge on humans and was captured by Vice Admiral Kizaru. It was Jinbe who helped release him after he became a Shichibukai.
But instead of being thankful, Arlong recruited some like minded people from Fish-Man District and went to East Blue to do evil.
Even if Shyarly didn't predict Arlong's death, she could have guessed it. Such a cruel person who is not very strong can't live long.
"Do you like it? If you like it, just stay on my crew and follow our adventures and life. It will be infinitely more exciting than staying on Fish-Man Island."
Basire smiled and said to the mermaid princess. Then he started to use his dragon cloud to speed up the Ark Maxim. He wanted to return quickly to see how much changes had taken place on Hachinosu during this time.
And he still had a lot to deal with.
While the strength of the Marines is severely weakened, Basire needs to carefully plan how to get in contact with Vegapunk on Egghead Island. He wonders if Stussy, the Queen of the Pleasure District, is ready for his offensive.
Since the World Government dared to leave Vegapunk in Egghead Island in the second half of New World, then don't blame Basire for being greedy and unable to resist taking action.
The huge benefits makes him want to act even if he risks being attacked by the Five Elders.
