Pirates: Starting from the Demon King of Uta - #241 - Chapter 241 Confrontation
Not long after Crocodile left, Olvia and Robin also finished eating.
Looking at each other, Olvia stood up and said to everyone: “Robin and I are going to the Forest of the Sea. Are any of you interested in joining us? Gureva?”
After playing and shopping with Robin for so many days, the two of them have almost visited Fish-Man Island. Only the Forest of the Sea has not been to the entire Fish-Man Island. Today, they plan to go to see if there is any archaeological value there.
Guleva laughed helplessly when she heard Olvia’s name, and said: “Spare me, I don’t want to go out with you and suffer.”
For someone who climbs mountains and wades in rivers, Gulewa might as well drink a few more bottles of wine if she has that time.
“Sea no Mori?”
Enelu, who was doing his meal, raised his head and said to Olvia: “If you go there, you should be able to see Link and Uta. They are in the Forest of the Sea now.”
“They were in the Forest of the Sea? When did they go there?”
Robin asked in surprise, but Olvia beside him turned around and left thoughtfully.
“It was late last night. I don’t know why I went there. I wouldn’t be bored listening to them talk.”
After Enel explained, he took another big sip of soup. After eating and drinking enough, he squinted his eyes and leaned back on the chair, patting his belly comfortably.
Olvia, who had left, also came back. She took a lunch box in her hand and began to pack the food on the table.
There are a lot of lunch boxes, and Olvia plans to bring some food to Link and Uta. They still won’t have breakfast last night.
Robin saw this and started getting busy along with Olvia.
“Tsk, Olvia is just too spoiled to them.”
Guleva chuckled, and Olvia also smiled gently when she heard this, and said softly: “Then we can’t let them go hungry.”
With Robin joining them, the two quickly packed the food for two people, but this was for Link and Uta. Link had a big appetite, so there was a lot of food.
“Let Daz accompany you. He can protect you and help carry your things at the same time.”
Looking at the lunch boxes stacked into a small mountain, Gureva shook her head helplessly. After hearing this, Daz nodded and stood up directly.
“No, Robin and I can still carry these, and we can also take the fish cart when we go out, so we don’t have to hold them all the time.”
Olvia declined Gureva’s proposal, smiled at Daz, and continued: “Daz should stay here to help Enelu. Didn’t he say that there will be a general attack of the fishmen in a while? You stay here It’s more useful here than following us.”
“It’s okay, just a bunch of miscellaneous fish, easy to deal with.”
Enelu said lazily, not caring about those fishmen at all, but in the end, Olvia and Robin left without letting Daz follow to protect them.
“It’s okay. It only takes half an hour for them to take the fish cart to the Forest of the Sea. When they reach the Deep of the Sea, Link will be there. There is no need to worry about danger.”
Gulewa said casually, stood up with the bottle in hand, and walked out of the restaurant. After breakfast, she wanted to find a place to enjoy the breeze.
Enelu sat by the window with a chair, basking in the sun comfortably and closing his eyes to fall asleep.
During this time, Crocodile also found Neptune, but Neptune was still dining at this time.
Not in a hurry, Crocodile sat on the sofa nearby, lit a cigar, and slowly waited for Neptune to finish eating.
Seeing his appearance, Neptune thought it was nothing urgent, so he nodded to Crocodile and continued eating unhurriedly.
Neptune also finished his breakfast when Cronkdal was halfway through smoking his second cigar. After the servants removed all the plates, he asked Cronkdal about his purpose.
“It’s not a big deal.”
Crocodile said calmly at first, and then slowly said: “Most of our pirate group are ability users, so we want to recruit a mermaid on Fish-Man Island to facilitate timely rescue when he falls into the water.”
Neptune nodded after hearing this. Crocodile’s suggestion was not surprising, so he said: “Okay, this is not a problem at all. I can introduce you to a mermaid who can swim very well.”
Although both mermaids and fishmen are darlings of the sea and are naturally good swimmers, there are still some who stand out.
Just when Neptune was still thinking about who to introduce to the Star Pirates, he heard Crocodile’s rejection.
“No introduction is needed, we already have our favorite candidate.”
Crocodile smiled lightly, making Neptune a little curious, and asked: “Then why don’t you just invite him directly? There is no need to go to me specifically, right?”
“No, I still want to talk to you. After all, Bai Xing is your daughter.”
Crocodile said this, always paying attention to Neptune’s expression. He could clearly see that astonishment, disbelief and panic flashed across Neptune’s face. In the end, he barely controlled his expression and pretended to be calm. Crocodile’s calm look made Crocodile admire his rapid change of expression.
“It’s inappropriate. Bai Xing is too young. She is only eleven years old. She has been living in a hard-shell tower and has never swum. Her water skills are very poor…”
Neptune racked his brains to find excuses, and his words were full of rejection.
Crocodile just looked at it with cold eyes and said abruptly: “It’s okay, she can command Neptunes.”
Neptune was still thinking of excuses, and when he heard Crocodile’s words, he subconsciously said: “Even if she can command the Neptunes, she…”
Before he finished speaking, Neptune’s voice stopped abruptly and he looked at Crocodile in fear. He had just spilled the beans. When he realized what he said, his mind went blank and he fell into a brief sluggish state.
“Oh, so you know that Shirahoshi is Poseidon, the King of the Sea.”
After testing for a long time, Crocodile finally got the answer he wanted to know, and his eyes when he looked at Neptune were full of indifference.
“How should I put it? Your acting skills are really good. If I hadn’t gotten the information from other places, I might never have suspected Bai Xing.”
Crocodile felt a little funny thinking that Neptune had even taken the initiative to talk about White Star, and even asked them to deal with Vanderdyken IX who threatened White Star.
Neptune was extremely confident in himself, thinking that he could hide it from them, and even help him deal with Vanderdyken.
But when the lie was exposed, all Neptune’s calculations disappeared, but he still forced a smile at this time, trying to deny the fact that Shirahoshi was Neptune.
“Are you mistaken? Shirahoshi is only eleven years old, and Neptune existed eight hundred years ago. No matter how you think about it, it can’t be Shirahoshi, right?”
What Neptune said was reasonable, but Crocodile no longer trusted his words.
