Chapter 347 In the Dragon Palace

Xia Le is 3.3 meters tall, and Neptune is 12.2 meters tall.

The two stood face to face, with a huge difference in body size, but at this moment, others felt that Xia Le was extremely majestic.

"Your Majesty Neptune."

With a slight smile, Xia Le shouted.

"Since we last met at the World Conference, you and I haven't seen each other for more than ten years."

The sudden words stunned Neptune.

Immediately afterwards, a unique and strange emotion emerged in his heart.

"It turns out that Marshal Xia Le also saw me last time!"

Naturally, he couldn't forget how terrifying this man's aura and weight were at that world conference.

That was a terrifying figure that silenced all the nobles of the world, and was feared by even the legendary Knights of God and the CP organization.

"I didn't expect that Marshal Xia Le would still remember me."

Neptune sighed.

Then, he reacted and moved forward.

"Please follow me to the Dragon Palace."

Hearing this, Xia Le nodded and looked at Fisher Tiger who was following Neptune. The latter saw his gaze and nodded heavily.

Suddenly, a smile appeared on Xia Le's face.

"Then, I will disturb His Majesty Neptune and everyone in the Dragon Palace Kingdom!"

Neptune was a little flattered: "You are so kind!"

Everyone immediately set off towards the Dragon Palace Kingdom.

Along the way, everyone in Neptune was a little surprised by Xia Le's talkativeness. What surprised them even more was the gentle attitude of the young naval marshal.

This is a kind of kindness that is rarely felt from human beings. In the subtle language, they feel the word respect.

Neptune's originally tense mood also relaxed slightly.

When passing by the center of the island and seeing the white-bearded flag hanging high, Xia Le paused slightly, then pointed to the flag with a smile.

"Letting pirates protect everyone's safety is a dereliction of duty as a navy!"

"I apologize to Neptune and everyone on Fishman Island for the navy's previous negligence!"

Neptune's heart trembled. He instinctively thought that there was something in the other person's words, but after that, there were no other words.

Only then did he realize that Xia Le just said it casually, but the apology in his words was sincere.

Half a quarter of an hour later, everyone arrived at the Dragon Palace Kingdom.

The spacious hall is filled with various fruit plates, drinks, and food, exuding a strong aroma.

Neptune sat on the main seat with an apology on his face: "Because of the hasty preparation, the Dragon Palace Kingdom was rude!"

Xia Le looked nonchalant: "Compared with these external appearances, what the Navy cares more about is His Majesty Neptune's attitude!"

"So, on my behalf, Lieutenant General Tiger, what is your opinion on the matters discussed with His Majesty, Lieutenant General Tiger?"

Neptune was startled.

He didn't expect that the navy marshal would be so anxious and get to the point neatly.

After pondering for a moment, Neptune did not hesitate any longer.

"I am extremely grateful to Marshal Xia Le for taking care of Fish-Man Island."

"So, facing your proposal, I have no reason to refuse!"

After a pause, Neptune took another deep breath.

"For the peace of the compatriots on Fish-Man Island and friendship with humans."

"On behalf of Dragon Palace Kingdom and Fishman Island, I am willing to cooperate with the navy!"

Xia Le smiled, the smile on his face getting bigger and bigger.

"Hahahahaha!"

"This banquet will be very happy, Your Majesty Neptune!"

"Humans and fishmen will coexist peacefully!"

Neptune nodded heavily.

He saw Xia Le raise the cup and a smile appeared on his face.

Once, he and Whitebeard drank a glass of wine because of the problem of Fish-Man Island, and asked the other party to divide Fish-Man Island into his territory.

This solved the problem of pirates and part of the navy constantly entering Fish-Man Island to cause trouble, but the root cause was not solved.

Now, he is sitting here, in front of a group of top brass in the navy.

Young, powerful, and known as the invincible naval marshal, the two generals of the headquarters: Kizaru, Rosinandi, and Baki, as well as Lieutenant General Fisher Tiger, who also belongs to the fish-man clan.

It can be seen that almost all the people here are from the Xia Le faction.

In other words, Fisher Tiger, a fish-man, actually got mixed up with the most powerful marshal group in the navy, which holds the most power.

And this means that the fishmen will get rid of the difficult situation in the past in the future.

Neptune's heart was ups and downs, excited and uplifted. He even wanted to howl to the sky and cry loudly.

Glasses of wine were being raised, and as they drank, he seemed to be in a trance, and a blurry figure walked towards him with a smile.

"Otohime!!!"

"Did you see it?"

"Your dream will come true on this day!"

"Fish-Man Island, from now on, there will be a future!!"

Neptune howled, he seemed a little drunk.

This scene made the originally lively banquet suddenly become quiet.

The eldest prince of Shark Star immediately looked at Xia Le who was sitting there, and Fisher Tiger showed a hint of worry on his face.

Obviously, as the king of the Dragon Palace Kingdom, Neptune had lost his temper. In a formal occasion like today, such a rude behavior will undoubtedly have an impact on the cooperation between the two parties. Once Xia Le is angered, the consequences will be disastrous.

"Sir Xia Le."

Fisher Tiger couldn't help but shouted worriedly, wanting to explain.

Neptune was still sitting there, looking in a trance, crying bitterly, completely forgetting that there was anyone else beside him.

"Otohime, did you see it?"

He muttered.

Everyone looked at Xia Le one after another. When they noticed the other person's expression, they all showed worried and nervous expressions on their faces.

Because at this moment, the smile on Xia Le's face had disappeared, replaced by a serious and gloomy expression.

A long time, a long time.

There was silence during the banquet, except for the sound of Neptune crying and gibbering.

"boom!"

The wine glass was placed heavily on the table.

Everyone's heart skipped a beat.

Shark Star's expression changed drastically, and there was a hint of despair in his eyes.

"It's over, Marshal Xia Le is completely pissed off!"

But at this moment, Xia Le slowly raised his head and looked at the drunk Neptune.

"Neptune!"

A loud shout.

Neptune seemed to be waking up from a dream, and stood there in a daze, looking a little dazed.

"Here, on behalf of the Navy, I assure you!"

"The fish people will coexist peacefully with humans, seek common ground while reserving differences, and live together as equals!"

"As long as I, Xia Le, am alive for one day, this covenant between you and me will be unswervingly implemented!"

Xia Le shouted in a deep voice, solemn and loud.

Neptune's body was shaken. Under his drunkenness, all kinds of complicated emotions burst out at this moment. Two tears flowed down his cheeks and dropped to the sea.

The sonorous and powerful words were a rock-solid promise in the eyes of all the fishmen present.

This promise made all the fishmen burst into tears and cry silently.

Xia Le's personal arrival is undoubtedly the greatest guarantee for the doubts and hesitations of Fish-Man Island, Neptune and others.

After the banquet, the Dragon Palace Kingdom fell into a festive stage.

Xia Le temporarily lives here. After all, it was only confirmed verbally during the banquet. Many specific matters still need to be signed in a large number of documents to ensure the integrity of the mutual covenant.

For example, the amount of money provided by the Dragon Palace Kingdom to the navy, the navy sending elites to establish bases, recruiting fishmen to form a navy, etc.

Of course, these things will naturally be completed by his subordinates, and Xia Le does not need to worry about it.

At night, he sat quietly in the room arranged by Neptune himself. He felt very interesting looking at the decoration that was obviously different from the mainland style.

The overall style is based on seashells and conches in the ocean, and the ceiling is made up of some strange beads that emit bright light.

Furthermore, unlike buildings on land, the rooms here are very large.

After admiring it, Xia Le sat there and fell into deep thought.

"Finance is still a problem for the Navy today."

"Due to financial and logistical supply problems, it is impossible to recruit troops on a large scale."

"If we cannot recruit troops on a large scale, subsequent plans cannot be carried out."

"Here in the Dragon Palace Kingdom, as long as we sign an agreement, part of the pressure can be resolved."

"Also, it's Brother Kobra's place."

"Alabasta will also be a strong support behind me!"

Many years ago, a large number of soldiers were secretly trained in Alabasta, and Barrett was even involved in this matter.

In Arabistan, this large group of soldiers is extremely reliable.

“It’s time to lay out the new world!”

"Recruiting troops can be done step by step and slowly increase the scale and scope."

Xia Le murmured.

Although the position of marshal is high and powerful, it is not easy to fill. Because he needs to worry about everything.

After all, if you want to inherit the crown, you must bear its weight.

Xia Le believes that he can bear this weight and enjoys this feeling.

Suddenly, his eyes turned and looked at the door.

"Now that you're here, don't hide outside the door!"

As soon as he finished speaking, a sweet cry came from outside the door.

Then, the person outside the door seemed to have experienced a fierce ideological struggle before he carefully opened the door.

Through the crack in the door, Xia Le saw a delicate, beautiful, but very large female face.

He was stunned for a moment, then laughed.

"You are His Majesty Neptune's daughter, Princess White Star, right?"

After finishing his words, Xia Le waved his hand and the door opened.

Bai Xing's full appearance was also revealed in front of him. He was huge, with his upper body being a human body and his lower body being a fish body.

The real legendary mermaid princess!

"You, you, are you Marshal Xia Le?"

Bai Xing blinked his big eyes, looking a little dazed, but very cute.

"Come in and talk, Princess Shirahoshi."

"I think that since you came here specifically, you should have a lot of questions, right?"

Xia Le said with a slight smile.

A blush appeared on Bai Xing's face, he looked at Xia Le curiously, and then walked in cautiously.

They looked at each other in silence, and after a long silence, she spoke in a low voice.

"You're scary, they say!"

"But, I think you are very handsome and young, and you look so gentle."
