Chapter 206: Dragon Palace Dinner, Bad Results
However, what they don't know is that only Vice Admiral Luke has this kind of deterrent power. Among the other Vice Admirals, except Garp, no one can achieve this effect, not even the admirals of the Marine Headquarters may have it.
However, almost no navy has ever been to Fishman Island, because the navy does not need to take the risk of going to the bottom of the sea to travel from the Grand Line to the New World, so this time can be regarded as an eye-opener for them.
"See? This is what humans are. These cowardly and inferior races are all cowards." On Fishman Street in Fishman Island, a Sawtooth Shark Man said with disdain after learning that humans were scared and ran away.
"Brother A'long, who is Lu Kai they are talking about?" a young fishman asked curiously.
“I heard from those humans who escaped that he is the strongest human on the earth. But no matter how strong he is, these inferior races have a huge disadvantage, which is that they can’t breathe in the sea.” Aaron said with a fierce look in his eyes.
"If I can kill that so-called Lukai in the sea, it will further prove that humans are nothing more than an inferior race, because even the strongest among them are nothing more than trash in the sea."
Many fishmen had stars in their eyes when they saw Aaron and thought that Aaron was their hero.
On the other side, Lucai has been invited to the Dragon Palace by Neptune, the king of Fishman Island. Following Lucai are Xiaolong, Fuya, Suluo, and the fishman child Caesar.
As for Luquet's other subordinates, they continued their unfinished vacation in the Sabaody Archipelago and went sightseeing in various places on Fishman Island.
Lu Kai was not worried that his subordinates would do something discriminatory against mermaids or mermen and cause everyone to be unhappy. Those who had such ridiculous ideas would not be able to join the Iron Army at all.
After all, Xiaolong is not a human being, but if anyone dares to discriminate against Xiaolong for this reason, Lu Kai will never let him go.
On the way to Ryugu Palace, Lu Kai saw a familiar figure, Jinbei, one of the future Seven Warlords of the Sea, who was currently serving as a guard at Ryugu Palace.
After entering the Dragon Palace, Neptune arranged a dinner. The dinner was not large and only seven people attended.
They were Luke and his group of five, as well as Neptune and his wife, Princess Otohime.
The guards, led by Jinbe, lined up in two rows, ready for battle.
As soon as the banquet started, Xiaolong showed his strong fighting ability. He ate like a starving ghost, and everyone was stunned.
In order to show his demeanor, Lu Kai suppressed his desire to show off and ate slowly, chewing his food in great pain.
"It's really surprising. I didn't expect a vice admiral would come to our Fishman Island." Neptune still didn't know the reason why Lukai came here.
However, his knowledge is not comparable to that of ordinary people on Fishman Island, and he naturally knows what the title of Vice Admiral means.
The Garp that Roger mentioned to him when they were on Fishman Island was the vice admiral of the navy, the most powerful man in the navy.
"I've heard that Fishman Island is a tourist attraction. How can anyone not come here in their lifetime?" Lu Kai said with a smile while eating. "But this time, I'm not here for sightseeing, but for other things."
Lu Kai touched the head of Caesar, who was sitting next to him, looking extremely reserved and frightened, and said, “Actually, the main task this time is to send this child back.
"His name is Caesar. About a month ago, he and his mother were kidnapped by the fishmen in Fishman Street and then sold to the Sabaody Archipelago, where they almost became slaves. During this period, they were also subjected to inhuman abuse.
"Because they knew that there would be an auction the next day and they would all be sold as slaves, Caesar's mother was unwilling to let her child be enslaved for the rest of his life, so she broke free from her chains and ran away to protect him, but was shot to death.
"Caesar himself was seriously injured during his escape, and he triggered the slave collar and was nearly blown to death. He was saved by me by chance.
“The incident happened yesterday at noon, and Caesar has not yet recovered from the severe shock he received.
"So now he will relax a little except when he is with a few of us. He will be uncontrollably scared when he sees anyone else."
Lu Kai looked at Caesar distressedly, and then continued: "I wanted him to follow me, but he said he wanted to go back to his father, so we sent him back."
"You made a special trip just to send this child back?" Neptune didn't dare to believe Luke's words.
"Thank you, Mr. Lu Kai!" Princess Otohime, who was standing by, was already in tears. She said, "I can feel your sincerity."
"It's just a piece of cake actually. I'm going to the New World anyway." Lu Kai shook his head and said indifferently.
"You don't know the father of this child?" Neptune asked.
"It is said that the father of this child is a criminal. He was arrested five years ago for donating blood to humans and was sentenced to life imprisonment." Luke explained while looking at Neptune with hope. "So, please do me a favor, Mr. Neptune. Can you release the father of this child?"
After hearing Luke's words, both Neptune and Princess Otohime fell silent.
"Sir Neptune, I know you are in a difficult situation. After all, this is against the laws of your country." Lu Kai explained quickly.
"So in exchange, I will give your country a huge amount of wealth as compensation, and you can also make any request of me that I can fulfill."
"Sir Luquet, I'm really sorry, I can't do it." Neptune lowered his head and said with great guilt.
"How could that be? You are the king and you have the power to pardon criminals. Besides, there is no difference between humans and mermen. It's just a blood donation. It shouldn't be such a serious crime, right?
"Now the child has no one to rely on except his father." Lu Kai said quickly, "Or do you have any difficulties? Please tell me the truth."
Under normal circumstances, Neptune and the others would definitely be happy to hear Luke say that there is no difference between humans and mermen, but at this moment they were not happy at all.
"Sir Luquet, the child's father..." Neptune hesitated for a long time and finally spoke, "The child's father, after learning about the mother and son's experience... not long ago, he died of illness in prison..."
After Neptune finished speaking, the scene immediately fell into a terrible silence.
Caesar, who had been trembling in fear, finally stopped trembling at this moment. His body suddenly became stiff and his eyes became dull.
Then tears continued to flow from his eyes, and soon Caesar's body began to tremble again.
But this time it was not because of fear, but because of extreme sadness.
"Sister, take him out first and comfort him." Lu Kai said to Fu Ya hurriedly.
Caesar looked like he was about to collapse. It was really inappropriate for him to continue staying in this place that frightened him. Upon hearing this, Fu Ya immediately stood up and pulled Caesar out.
"How could this happen?" Su Luo on the side found it hard to accept this result.
Not only Lu Kai, Fu Ya and Xiao Long, Su Luo also cares about Caesar.
Even though he didn't have the ability to use Observation Haki, Su Luo could still feel the grief in Caesar's heart, but he didn't expect this would be the result.
