Chapter 170 - Chapter 170: I Want to Meet This Mermaid Princess

Joyboy: "It's truly amazing that I actually had the fortune to hear the contents of this Poneglyph!!"

Sir Crocodile: "If only he had spoken so much when translating the Poneglyph contents in the Alabasta Kingdom before... That would've been great..."

Gecko Moria: "That Skypiea Poneglyph recorded Poseidon's fall. If that one had spoken, it would also be good~~~"

Sakazuki: "What is Joyboy's sole promise to the Mermaid Princess? A promise from 800 years ago..."

Edward Newgate: "Gurararara...!!! Well said! Four hundred years ago, there was a man's romance. Now, there's a cross-era promise from 800 years ago. This video system is truly eye-opening~~~"

Charlotte Linlin: "Well said! I am especially interested in the content of that Poneglyph that talks about the 'secret of the Red Line' and 'that promise'...!!!"

[Lu Fei looked at Nami and Robin, and said: "Joyboy promised the Mermaid Princess 800 years ago that he would take her for a walk in the forest."]

["Huh~?"]

[Nami was slightly stunned. Seeing that Lu Fei seemed to have finished speaking, her small face revealed a bewildered expression, "No... Is that all???"]

[Robin also opened her mouth in disbelief: "This... This is a promise...?]

["Obviously, for them, walking in the forest is a very simple matter..."]

["Can this even be considered a promise?"]

Seeing the content on the screen, the viewers were also completely dumbfounded.

Marco: "That's it?"

Black Maria: "Grumble grumble... But don't underestimate it! He set it up for half a day, and this promise is just a walk?"

Charlotte Smoothie: "Although it's very difficult for a Fish-Man to reach the surface, if it's really about doing 'Nine Nine Eighteen', it's not a difficult task to reach the surface... This, as a promise, is indeed difficult to understand~~~"

Sabo: "Wasn't this the promise that Mr. Lu Fei made two years later in the white frame video?"

Monkey D. Luffy: "Yes, little Sabo! Although it's something I promised in the future in the video, right now, I formally promise you, I will definitely take you for a walk in a real forest!!! You wait obediently for me in Shells Town! After the top war ends, I will go find Vander Decken and send him flying, to give you true freedom!!!"

Sabo: "Mr. Lu Fei~~~ I will definitely wait obediently in Shells Town for you to save me~~~"

Buggy: "For Straw Hat Luffy, he promised to take Princess Shirahoshi for a walk in the forest, which can be done as long as the Straw Hat Pirates temporarily stop sailing~~~ This is not difficult~~~"

Koala: "Yes! Just float up from Fish-Man Island~~~"

["It's simple, right?"]

[Looking at Nami and Robin's confused expressions, Lu Fei spread his hands, "However... this answer is absurd, but if you combine it with the contents of that Poneglyph on Skypiea, it seems you can find the answer~~~"]

["Skypiea?" Nami's brows furrowed slightly.]

[In the field of archaeology, she's like a bad student. She can only listen to Teacher Lu Fei and Teacher Robin's blabbering...]

[Robin paused for a moment, then said: "The Poneglyph of Skypiea mentions that the true identity of the ancient weapon Poseidon is actually a mermaid princess who appears only once every few hundred years, with the ability to communicate with sea kings. She is the king of the sea kings, possessing the ability to talk to and command them."]

[Speaking of this, Robin's eyes suddenly lit up. She exclaimed in surprise: "Could it be that... the Mermaid Princess from 800 years ago mentioned in this Poneglyph is actually the Poseidon of that time!!!"]

["Mhm~" Lu Fei nodded. He believed that.]

[Robin widened her red lips. "Ah.....!!! If that's the case, then everything makes sense!!!"]

[Nami also reacted. She took a deep breath and said: "Yes, Poseidon is the king of the ocean, but if she came to the surface, she would lose all her advantages! At this time, her enemies would definitely try to harm her! And the Mermaid Princess must be a delicate beauty, too easily targeted..."]

[Robin continued: "If the Mermaid Princess Poseidon's identity was already known to the world at that time, then that promise would be very difficult to complete!"]

[Lu Fei shook his head: "No! He completed it!"]

["What???"]

["He completed it, so why did he repent?"]

[Nami and Robin simultaneously opened their mouths in surprise~~~]

[Lu Fei said calmly: "He completed his promise to take the Mermaid Princess for a walk in the forest, but the Mermaid Princess died because of it. That's why Joyboy wrote this letter of repentance..."]

["Dead!!? How did she die?" Nami's face instantly showed an expression of unbearable pain. Her small hands unconsciously grabbed Lu Fei's arm.]

[Lu Fei shook his head: "I don't know about that. This Poneglyph only says this much..."]

Joyboy: "So... that person who was the King of the Sea 800 years ago, the Mermaid Princess, died unexpectedly?"

Kid: "800 years ago? Is that when the World Government was established?"

Donquixote Doflamingo: "Fufufufu...!!! Someone seems to have discovered an incredible secret~~~"

Jesus Burgess: "Shut up!! You're slandering the World Government. Are you looking for death?"

Kid: "Tch!!! You old man, always talking like a three-year-old! Why are you bothering me?! I'm not bothering you, ghost!!!"

Kid had always been fearless. From the moment he set sail, he had already prepared to die~~~

"Who isn't afraid of death?!"

Killer: "Hehehe!! We already live day by day like there's no tomorrow, so what if we're wanted by the World Government? The Five Elders are all big trash!"

Rocks D. Xebec: "Hahahaha!!! You two little brats, interesting! Too interesting!!! Do you want to join me and create a great undertaking???"

Kid: "Where's the fun in that!"

Edward Newgate: "The World Government was established 800 years ago. Poseidon died 800 years ago... It wouldn't be surprising if there's a conspiracy here~~~ Gurararara...!!!"

...!!!

Kong: "Then why don't you old farts just go die! Everything has to be related to the World Government. You won't speak unless you slander the World Government, is that it??"

Gol D. Roger: "Kong, you're truly a good dog of the Celestial Dragons!!! Let me slander the World Government! I'll tell you what... a basin of dirty water poured on the World Government might make that dirty water even dirtier!"

Shiki: "Ze hahahahaha!!! Roger... You really are a talent!!! Hahaha, well said!"

Kozuki Oden: "No wonder the World Government is so afraid of people investigating the historical truth from 800 years ago. It all seems to make sense now!"

Edward Newgate: "Looking at this, the Ohara incident back then... the water is very deep."

Marcus Mars: "Shh! All of you, shut up!"

["The Mermaid Princess from 800 years ago is truly pitiful..."]

[Nami's eyes turned red, and she said, crying, "This Joyboy is truly despicable; he failed the Mermaid Princess!"]

["No!" Robin grabbed Nami's shoulder and said, "It's clear that Joyboy didn't know about this assassination plot against the Mermaid Princess beforehand. He must have been deceived by someone, which is why he reproached himself so much and wrote this letter of repentance, so that future generations would also know the mistakes he made."]

[Lu Fei nodded: "That's right! The ones who deserve to die the most are those who deceived Joyboy!"]

[After reading this piece of True History, Lu Fei and the others went to Fish-Man Street with heavy hearts~~~]

[The so-called Fish-Man Street is actually a slum area on Fish-Man Island.]

[The houses here are complex and messy, with no aesthetic appeal whatsoever. The streets and alleys are a classic example of chaos~~~]

["It's truly hard to imagine! Similarly on Fish-Man Island, Fish-Man Street and Coral Hill are simply two different worlds..."]

[Looking at the dilapidated buildings around, Nami unconsciously covered her nose, roughly exhaling~~~]

[Lu Fei chuckled: "This is actually normal.... Any island has a gap between rich and poor! No place can let everyone live a rich life. If everyone on an island were rich, would anyone still be willing to do manual labor?"]

[Hearing this, Nami thought seriously.]

[Lu Fei continued: "Of course, if an island relies on exploiting other islands to live, then everyone on this island can also live a comfortable and good life. But... as I just said, if some people live good days without worries about food and clothing, then there will definitely be people living hard lives. This is actually a kind of balance..."]

[Nami seemed to understand, saying: "But their comfortable lives are exchanged for the hard lives of people on other islands, right?"]

["Exactly."]

[Lu Fei smiled slightly. At this moment, he pointed to his side: "We're here! This grilled fish restaurant is the most famous on Fish-Man Island! Although it doesn't look too clean, everyone said its grilled fish tastes very good!"]

[Lu Fei and the two others sat down. He slammed a pile of Berry on the table: "Boss, grill all the delicious grilled fish in this shop and bring them to me!!!"]

["W-wait! Lu Fei, you don't need three portions of everything! You can eat it, we can't!" Nami immediately shouted.]

["It's okay, I actually ordered all these for myself. The menu is here, you guys can see what you want to eat~~~" Lu Fei pushed the menu in front of Nami.]

["What..." Nami's lips twitched.]

[And at this moment, Robin stroked her red lips, chuckled softly: "Lu Fei, your earthy behavior seems to have brought us trouble~~~"]

["I did it on purpose!"]

[Lu Fei glanced at the surrounding Fish-Men who were glaring at him, then directly released a Conqueror's Haki~~~]

[All those guys who were holding grudges instantly collapsed to the ground, unconscious~~~]

["Rather than eating while being stared at, it's better to just flush them out and then deal with them cleanly."]

["This way, not only can we eat comfortably, but we can also intimidate the grilled fish shop owner, making him dare not cut corners~~~"]

["Indeed, just as Lu Fei expected!]

[The grilled fish shop owner's face turned pale with fright. He quickly shouted loudly: "Guests, please wait a moment, the delicious food you ordered will be right there!"]

["It didn't take long, and the fragrant grilled fish was served~~~"]

[Lu Fei was finally overjoyed~~~]

[... a hearty meal!]

["The taste is really good!!!"]

[Lu Fei was in a great mood. He tipped 100 Berry and then walked towards the end of Fish-Man Street with Nami and Robin.]

[When they arrived in front of Noah, Nami's mouth dropped open in surprise, and she exclaimed: "Oh my God... this... this this... This is at least half the size of Fish-Man Island!!!"]

Spandam: "Beneath ten thousand meters of sea, there's actually such a huge ship!!! This is simply an island, isn't it?!!"

Buggy: "Indeed... The world is truly vast!!! If it weren't for the viewing system, how could we see so many strange things!!!"

Kuzan: "Such a large ship, just the materials alone are extremely costly. What's even harder is the manufacturing technology!!! This ship has been sleeping here, what is it used for??? Is it related to that promise mentioned before?"

Kurozumi Orochi: "Using this ship to transport all the Fish-Men to the surface, and then live under the true sunlight......?? It wouldn't be that absurd, would it!!"

Perospero: "Perhaps the truth is just that absurd..."

["Lu Fei! You guys came too?"]

[At this moment, Franky came out from one of Noah's windows.]

[Hack and Morley followed behind him.]

["Yeah! We found some things, so we came to check out this ship. Did you find anything???"]

[Lu Fei and the two others went up to him.]

["Yes!!! The craftsmen who built this ship must be top-notch shipwrights!!! The shipbuilding craftsmanship is no less than my master's skill!!! Moreover, I asked the nearby Fish-Men, and they said this ship has existed for hundreds of years. It's truly unimaginable. What was such a large ship without a power system, built by people hundreds of years ago, used for~~~"]

["No power system???" Nami was surprised.]

[Franky nodded: "Yes! So deep underwater, and without a power system, and it's even filled with seawater. This ship clearly can never see the light of day!!!"]

["This ship has a power system!!!"]

[At this moment, Lu Fei suddenly spoke.]

["What???" Franky looked at Lu Fei in astonishment. "Why didn't I notice?"]

[Lu Fei stretched out his hand and pointed around Noah: "Look!!! Those incredibly giant chains all around this ship, they are this ship's unique power system! Named... Sea King Power System......"]

["Huh??"]

[Franky was completely dumbfounded!!!]

[Then, he exclaimed in surprise: "Hey hey hey!!! You mean... to drag this ship with Sea Kings??? Such an absurd idea, you actually thought of it!"]

[At this moment, Nami's eyes revealed a look of sudden realization.]

[She opened her mouth and said: "I understand!!! This ship is actually a custom-made ship for the Mermaid Princess!!!"]

[Lu Fei said: "That's right! This ship can only be activated by the Mermaid Princess!!! As for its purpose... it should be used to fulfill that promise of letting the Fish-Men live under the sunlight!"]

["Hey hey hey!!! You guys seem to know some things I don't??? What's going on?"]

[Upon hearing Lu Fei and the two others speaking so clearly, Franky hastily leaned closer.]

[Nami recounted to Franky what Lu Fei had said when they were in the Sea Forest before....]

[After hearing this, Franky was utterly shocked!!!]

[Lu Fei turned to his companions and suggested: "Let's go to Ryugu Palace!"]

["Ryugu Palace is the imperial palace of Fish-Man Island. Outsiders are generally not allowed in there. What are we going there for?" Nami asked.]

[Lu Fei rubbed his chin, pondering for a moment, then said: "I want to meet the current Mermaid Princess......"]
