Seat of the Void

Chapter 148 The Banquet and Princess Otohime

In the banquet hall, Lockes and Ruth are tasting various fish-man island specialties.

The other cadres of the Rocks Pirates who were brought by the soldiers were also busy eating various delicacies.

"Hehehe, the special food of Fishman Island is really good! It's the first time in my life to eat such delicious and peculiar food."

Moriah kept admiring while eating, and Sasaki beside him was already so busy that he didn't even have time to talk.

His entire mouth was stuffed full.

Not far away, Barrett was teasing some of Neptune's sons, and from time to time punched the teased Crasher to the ground.

And Eredar and Barbossa have been there to fan the flames of the few princes in boredom.

The whole banquet seemed to be in a happy mood.

After Lux and Ruth had some meals, they sat next to Neptune.

"Okay, if you have anything to say, let's talk about it now, Your Majesty Neptune."

Rocks picked up a glass of red wine and sipped it full, while waiting for Neptune's next words.

Neptune didn't speak, but looked at Princess Otohime beside him.

Princess Otohime took a deep breath, finally spoke, and said what she wanted to express.

Lockes drank the red wine while calmly listening to Princess Otohime's suicide words.

As Princess Otohime spoke more and more, Lockes frowned slightly.

After a long time, when Princess Otohime finished speaking, Lockes also finished the red wine in the glass.

Several people fell into silence for a moment.

The atmosphere was also in this silence, slowly sinking into dullness.

Everyone turned their attention to Lockes and Neptune.

"Hey hey hey, did they break down some negotiation?"

Moria turned to Lockes, looked at his frowning brows, and asked Sasaki beside him with a grin.

After Sasaki swallowed all the food in his mouth in one breath, he grinned and showed his fangs.

The long knife at his waist was also slightly pulled out of its sheath by him.

"Kahaha, never mind. We just need to wait for the signal from Boss Lockes. At that time, Neptune's head will be handed over to me."

The surrounding soldiers and ministers tensed up when they heard Sasaki's words.

"Hehehe, Sasaki, don't scare these guys."

Moria glanced at the guarded soldiers around him.

"We are invited guests, when the time comes, be gentle!"

Moria's words made the surrounding soldiers and ministers tremble with fear.

Lafitte turned the sword in his hand and stood in a corner, looking at the dull banquet hall and those companions who were about to move.

"Hoho, I'm really looking forward to what will happen next. Is everything safe and sound, or does the Fishman Island completely change hands?"

"Yo Ho Ho, conquering Murloc Island seems like a good choice."

Brook, who was on Lafitte's side, seemed to think of something when he heard Lafitte's words, with a wretched smile on his face.

Lockes ignored the thoughts of his companions.

He frowned at this time, not because of the breakdown of any negotiations with Neptune or Princess Otohime.

He was just weighing the pros and cons of the conditions offered by Princess Otohime.

It has to be said that the bargaining chip offered by Princess Otohime is really too tempting.

So tempting, even Lockes had to think about it for a while.

After a long time, Rocks finally made up his mind.

"Princess Otohime, I have to say that you are an admirable woman."

"The Fishman Island is extremely lucky to have a princess like you."

"I accept your terms."

"call"

After hearing Lockes' words, Neptune and Princess Otohime let out a sigh of relief.

Princess Otohime, with a very happy smile on her face, got up and bowed slightly to Lockes.

"That's really thanks to Captain Rocks. I look forward to a very good cooperation between us."

"Ah, I'm looking forward to it too."

Lockes raised the red wine in his hand, ordered it to Princess Otohime, and then drank it in one gulp.

The entire banquet hall returned from dullness to joy after the cooperation between Rocks and Princess Otohime.

And because of Princess Otohime's gesture and Rocks' words, it became even more heated.

No one knows what kind of cooperation between Rocks and Princess Otohime has been reached, but it does not affect the excitement between them.

After all, the cooperation between a super pirate group like Rocks and Murloc Island represents a steady stream of wealth and strong physical deterrence.

With the Murloc Island where the Rocks Pirates rely, they no longer have to be afraid of the harassment of those messy pirates.

In this sea, few lunatics would actively provoke the Lockes Pirates.

Those who dared to take the initiative to provoke were almost all killed.

The happy banquet was going on cheerfully amid Brook's music and Quinn's singing.

Lockes has also let go of his thoughts and enjoyed a joyous banquet.

"By the way, I was on the road and met Fisher Tiger. He told me that he has a younger brother named Jinbei. I wonder if His Majesty Neptune recognizes him?"

Hearing Tiger, Neptune froze for a moment, and then laughed heartily.

"Tiger! That guy, can he become friends with a big pirate like you! It really surprised me."

"And his younger brother Jinbe, I have indeed heard of it. I heard from a minister under him that he seems to be the current boss of Murloc Street."

After receiving Neptune's answer, Lockes nodded.

"Then please His Majesty Neptune send someone to take me to Murloc Street now. I have something to do with him."

"Huo Huo, there's no problem. But, why are you looking for him in such a hurry? I can send someone to tell him he's found him. How about you staying in this lively banquet?"

Neptune asked cautiously.

He was really afraid that Jinbe might offend Lockes inadvertently.

After all, there are only two powerful fighters on Murloc Island, Tiger and Jinbe, to be honest.

If Jinbei accidentally offended Lockes and was killed by Lockes, Neptune would still be a little bit reluctant.

"Hehe, don't worry, Your Majesty Neptune, because Tiger is used to being free by himself, he rejected my invitation at that time. But he introduced his younger brother to me, so I really want to see it. It's just what kind of person Jinbe, who is stronger and more potential than him, is."

Lockes saw a hint of worry in Neptune's expression, and immediately took the initiative to explain.

After listening to Lockes' explanation, Neptune heaved a sigh of relief, and at the same time secretly became happy.

After all, if Shipin joins the Rocks Pirates, with Jinping's character, the future cooperation between the Rocks Pirates and the Fishman Island will be more secure.

For this result, it is completely a win-win situation.

"Hey, that's it. Then I will arrange for someone to call him over now."

Neptune got up to call the guards and asked them to call Jinbe.

However, Rocks did not leave a bad impression on his future partner Jinbe, and directly rejected Neptune.

"No need, I feel a little bored now, so I just happened to go to Murloc Street. So, let someone take me directly to Murloc Street."

When Neptune heard Lockes say this, he couldn't say anything more, and personally ordered the guards to bring Lockes to Murloc Street safely.

"Ah, then I'll go first. My friends also ask His Majesty Neptune to take care of you then."

After finishing speaking, Lockes left Dragon Palace City directly with the guards leading the way.

"What a fascinating man."
