Capítulo 221: Solemn Ryugu palace!
At the same time, a voice with high discernibility came from outside the hall.
"Is this how the Ryugu Palace City treats its guests? No wonder the Four Seas King, who once had a reputation throughout the world, can't even protect Fishman Island."
"Who!?"
Upon hearing that voice, Neptune's gaze sharpened. He didn't expect to get much feedback from the Right Minister, who was clearly frightened and unable to articulate properly.
Tap tap tap!
The person outside didn't answer, but step by step, walked into the hall.
Neptune and the Left Minister stared.
The newcomer wore a blue suit, with sharp facial features and a heroic aura between his eyebrows. What was even more outrageous was the cape behind him, bearing the word "justice". It seemed that it belonged to at least a Rear Admiral in rank. Although there was a gentle smile on his face, the powerful aura emanated from him was undeniable.
Following him were several individuals who clearly weren't minor characters.
"You are..."
With just one glance, Neptune recognized the newcomer's identity, his face suddenly changing drastically as he exclaimed, "Nicholas!!!"
"Why is this man here?! Why didn't the perimeter alert of Fishman Island or the soldiers outside the Ryugu Palace City warn us?!"
Seeing Nicholas appear in the Ryugu Palace City without warning, the Left Minister standing in front of Neptune couldn't help but feel on the verge of madness.
Nicholas being able to appear here without any hindrance implied that if he wanted to eliminate the Mermaid Royal Family, it would be a simple task. Before the conjectures could even form, considering some information Neptune and he received, the entire situation made him tremble uncontrollably.
"Oh, Neptune, how could you forget to notify the godfather of your daughter? I, as her future godfather, feel greatly aggrieved by such a major incident happening in her family."
Hearing Nicholas' words, Neptune and the Left Minister's eyes narrowed.
But what followed from the Right Minister's mouth made both of them feel their blood pressure skyrocket, to the point where if Neptune were a pufferfish merman, he'd probably have exploded by now.
"Your Majesty Neptune, the guards of the Ryugu Palace City have been killed by these people!"
The Right Minister shouted in a mix of grief and indignation. He had intended to carry out Neptune's orders, but just after leaving the hall, he witnessed the arrival of the Royal Edict from the sky. Before he could react, he saw all the guards of the Ryugu Palace City falling down.
"Nicholas, how dare you do such a thing!!!"
Obviously, the deaths of the Ryugu Palace City guards had provoked Neptune's wrath.
Driven by anger, Neptune disregarded the disparity in their strengths and lunged towards Nicholas with his trident in hand.
Nicholas first glanced at the Right Minister, whose strength was comparable to that of a weakling, then calmly looked at Neptune charging towards him. He shook his head slightly.
"The person in charge of the military force of the Ryugu Palace City can't even tell 'life' from 'death'... That's why I said, the Fishman Island these days is really declining."
With these words, invisible ripples spread rapidly through the hall, enveloping Neptune and others in an instant, rendering them seemingly trapped in a monochrome world.
The Right Minister, responsible for the military might of the Ryugu Palace City, had his eyes roll back and collapsed to the ground unconscious in the face of the unseen impact.
Shortly after, the Left Minister, with virtually unlimited negative fighting strength, almost simultaneously followed suit, falling unconscious beside the Right Minister.
Neptune trembled and abruptly stopped, his expression extremely grave as he stared at Vista standing beside Nicholas, his voice heavy as he said, "Haki... Conqueror's Haki?!"
"Exactly."
Nicholas, with his hands in his pockets, casually replied, "So rest assured, those outside are just knocked out. Also, I'm curious about one thing. It seems you harbor great animosity toward my appearance here. Can you tell me what's going on, Neptune?"
Nicholas came to stand in front of Neptune and asked.
He wasn't a fool. Upon arriving at the Ryugu Palace City, he had sensed something was off. The attitudes of Neptune and the Left and Right Ministers further confirmed this.
"You..."
Just as Neptune was about to say something, Nicholas glanced at the scene outside the hall.
"Here come two familiar faces..."
Sensing the scene outside, with two auras rapidly approaching the palace, clearly startled by the commotion from earlier.
"What are you here for, Nicholas?!"
With a headscarf, thick curly hair, a broad mouth, a slight stubble on the upper lip, and a few whiskers on his chin, Fisher Tiger, staring at the somewhat embarrassed whale shark henchman, then stared coldly at Nicholas, seemingly waiting for his answer.
As an explorer among the Fishmen, Tiger naturally knew Nicholas, but even though he was well aware of Nicholas' reputation and strength, he couldn't afford to back down in terms of aura and stance.
He knew that once he backed down, he would lose the initiative.
"I already told you, I came to Fishman Island for the sake of my future goddaughter. I will help you deal with all the pirates on the island, but before that, I want an answer."
"What do you want to do?!!!"
Neptune realized something, and veins popped out at the corners of his eyes.
"It's nothing much, just curious about what information you've got, Neptune, that makes you so hostile toward me!"
"!!!"
Listening to Nicholas and Neptune's conversation, Fisher Tiger's expression became solemn, and the still spirited whale shark Fishman, after casting a glance at the leader, also put on a serious expression.
