章 31: Ancient Weapon Poseidon
Ethan grinned and typed in the chat group, "Do you guys know about the mermaid princess?"
Whitebeard responded, "Gurararara! Mermaid princess? I know all about her! Neptune, the king of Fishmen Island, is my good friend. His daughter, Shirahoshi, is said to have the most beautiful face in the world."
Golden Lion Shiki retorted, "What?! You saved Fishmen Island for a woman? What a costly mistake! Not to mention that she's a mermaid, do you realize that there's a tail under the mermaid?"
Whitebeard: "..."
Fisher Tiger interjected, "Uh…actually, mermaids can have legs after they turn 30. It's impossible for Princess Shirahoshi's body to match Whitebeard's."
Pirate King Roger added, "Besides, her size matches Whitebeard's. She's too big for ordinary humans."
Whitebeard: "..."
Ethan chuckled, "You guys are so naive. Roger, tell them!"
Pirate King Roger asked, "What do you mean?"
Ethan replied, "Don't act dumb! You've read the historical text of Sky Island. Don't you know about the Ancient Weapons?"
Golden Lion Shiki inquired, "What are you talking about?"
Ethan explained, "Since Roger doesn't want to talk about it, I'll do it. The Ancient Weapons are…"
Golden Lion Shiki exclaimed, "Of course! It's rumored that there are three Ancient Weapons in the world that can bring about the destruction of the world, and I was searching for them back then. I even asked Roger for help, but that bastard rejected me! Wait…"
As he recalled what Ethan had said earlier, Golden Lion Shiki suddenly realized something.
Golden Lion Shiki mused, "Since Roger has read the historical text on Sky Island, he knows a secret about Fishmen Island. Could it be related to the Ancient Weapons?"
Ethan confirmed, "Exactly! The Mermaid Princess, Poseidon, is one of the three ancient weapons and has the power to command all Sea Kings."
Golden Lion Shiki exclaimed, "Nani?! Damn it! I should have known this earlier when I was looking for it on Fishmen Island. The Mermaid Princess is the Ancient Weapon? This news is insane!"
Whitebeard countered, "That doesn't make sense! If the Mermaid Princess is the Ancient Weapon, how could Fishmen Island have been so miserable all these years? The island has been around for 800 years. I can't imagine how many Mermaid Princesses have lived there…"
Pirate King Roger clarified, "It's not what you think! Poseidon is a power, a power that can control the Sea Kings. This power will appear in the current Mermaid Princess, but not every Mermaid Princess can have Poseidon."
Ethan added, "That's right! Princess Shirahoshi is the current Poseidon. The last Poseidon existed eight hundred years ago. There is almost no regularity in the appearance of Poseidon."
Golden Lion Shiki expressed his skepticism, "Uh… how do you say it? This weapon is too unpredictable! By the way, Ethan, what do you plan to do?"
Ethan replied, "I don't have much ambition for Poseidon. Controlling Sea Kings to fight is not what I want. However, I have to ensure that she won't fall into the hands of others."
Golden Lion Shiki agreed, "Exactly! Such a dangerous weapon can't be known by anyone, even if you don't plan on using it yourself."
After conversing with the undead, Ethan's coated boat arrived at The Fish Men Island.
Jinbei and King Neptune were informed beforehand and gave Ethan a grand reception.
"There's a guy named Fisher Tiger who asked me to transport The Fish Men Island to the outside world. You can prepare for it, or of course, you can refuse."
During the banquet held for Ethan, he clearly expressed his intention.
"Transport The Fish Men Island to the outside world?"
Neptune readily agreed as The Fish Men Island had been waiting for hundreds of years to leave the icy seabed. However, humans outside were hostile to murlocs and mermen and treated them as slaves.
"With the Whitebeard Pirates and you, The Fish Men Island won't be bullied!"
Neptune was cautious in his statement as Ethan's attitude was crucial.
"Fisher Tiger... Have you seen Brother Fisher Tiger?" Jinbei couldn't help but speak after Ethan and Neptune finished discussing The Fish Men Island.
"That's right! He asked me to tell you that you did a great job!" Ethan looked at the blue fat man in front of him and conveyed Fisher Tiger's message with a smile.
Jinbei, with a shame-filled face, said, "I'm ashamed! Not only did I fail to protect The Fish Men Island, but I also allowed that kid Arlong to do something wrong..."
Jinbei briefly recounted the events of the past few years, and everyone in the chat group shared their thoughts.
Golden Lion Shiki exclaimed, "Jehahaha! Who is this Arlong? It sounds interesting, but building an empire where Marines rule the world is a ridiculous idea. He should know better after seeing the world."
Pirate King Roger said, "It's not scary to have an idea, what's scary is that he actually does it."
Ethan replied, "Stop being funny! This so-called Arlong Pirates is just a joke to entertain himself. Do you know what he's been doing in East Blue for more than ten years?"
Golden Lion Shiki asked, "What?"
Ethan continued, "He occupied dozens of villages, and his main business is to collect protection fees. It's been going on for more than ten years, and he is not even a rogue leader."
Fisher Tiger was silent, not wanting to speak about his former little brother.
Ethan then said, "I have some information to share. Hody Jones, who once served in the palace, stole the secret medicine from the palace and is currently planning a riot to control The fish men island. Also, he planned and killed Princess Otohime."
King Neptune was stunned. Wasn't his wife Ottohime killed by humans?
Ethan clarified, "Hody Jones captured a human and used him to kill Princess Otohime. Otherwise, how could he find the murderer so easily? He found it quietly."
With this new information, Ethan decided to clean up the seabed before taking The fish men island away. King Neptune agreed and promised to help.
After hearing this, King Neptune's expression immediately brightened. Looking back on the strangeness at the time, he found that it was indeed the case.
"I'm going to catch him!"
Jinbei, with a gloomy face, stood up and said that he would take care of it himself.
"Be careful! They are numerous and powerful, and they also have powerful medicines. Even you, if you are not careful, could suffer."
Ethan looked at Jinbei and waved for Marco to accompany him.
"medicine?"
"It's a prohibited drug handed down from the ancestors of The fish men island. It is said that it can greatly increase a person's strength."
King Neptune thought for a while and persuaded Jinbei to accept the help of Margaux.
Jinbei and Marco went to deal with Hoddy Jones and clean up the interior of The fish men island, while Ethan asked King Neptune to take him to see Princess Shirahoshi.
"Meet Shirahoshi?"
Upon hearing this, King Neptune looked at Ethan with a strange look and couldn't help but ask, "How did you know about Shirahoshi?"
Shirahoshi had lived in a hard-shell tower since she was very young and hasn't come out since, so not many people know her.
Ethan said indifferently, "I heard that she has the most beautiful appearance in the world, and I want to meet her."
King Neptune's expression froze. He thought, "Is this kid after my daughter's body?"
He glanced at Ethan and soon calmed down. He doesn't match Shirahoshi's body shape, but it's not a big problem. It should be the kind of love that sees no boundaries.
So he sighed, shook his head, and said, "I can take you to see her! However, you have to be mentally prepared."
They arrived at the hard shell tower, where Ethan met Shirahoshi, who was huge and could swallow him in one bite. Several members of the group also chatted with emotion, admiring Shirahoshi's appearance and body shape.
Golden Lion Shiki said, "I have to say, this is the most beautiful creature I've ever seen. If I hadn't died, maybe I'd be tempted too."
Ethan replied, "Old man, are you talking about teenage madness? Save it! You can only appreciate it and not play with it."
Golden Lion Shiki countered, "Cut! Aren't you the same?"
Ethan retorted, "That's not necessarily the case. Maybe at some point, I will have the ability to solve the problem of body shape."
Pirate King Roger interjected, "Is your focus wrong? This is the Poseidon, one of the three Ancient Weapons. It is known as the weapon that can destroy the world!"
Fire Fist Ace asked, "If the fish men island has such a powerful force, why is the master mermaid princess with the power of Poseidon locked in a hard shell tower?"
Ethan replied, "Because this timid mermaid princess will cry at the slightest problem. How can they expect her to command the Sea Kings to fight? It's just not feasible."
Golden Lion Shiki exclaimed, "What a waste! Don't they know the power of Poseidon?"
Ethan nodded, "Yes, Shirahoshi discovered her power when she was very young. But instead of educating the people on how to use this power, they tried to cover it up."
Golden Lion Shiki called them "stupid" for doing so, to which Ethan agreed, "It's really stupid! Shirahoshi was influenced by his mother Ottohime, and her mind is full of naive and kind thoughts. It's only natural that she has become so useless in the end."
Fisher Tiger stepped in to defend Princess Eki, "Princess Shirahoshi is a very kind person, she is not stupid."
Ethan countered, "Kindness without strength will only make people feel weak and deceived. Isn't that stupid? She pinned the hope of returning the fish men island to the sea on the kindness and understanding of the World Government... Does she really not understand the true nature of the World Government's Celestial Dragons?"
Fisher Tiger had nothing to say in response.
Ethan: "If The Fish-Men Island had made good use of Shirahoshi's power and combined kindness with the Ancient Weapon, The Fish-Men Island would have had a normal status long ago."
Fisher Tiger: "Is that so? Then what about now?"
Ethan: "It's too late!"
Ethan glanced at Shirahoshi with her timid expression in front of him and said
