One Piece: The Straw Hat Pirates' Max-Level Swordsman

Neptune warmly invited Ling Tian to sit down, his face filled with a sincere smile and his eyes full of warm hospitality to the guests.

He personally walked to the wine jug, picked it up gracefully, and slowly poured a glass of wine for Ling Tian. The wine swayed in the glass, creating slight ripples, as if telling the story of this fine wine.

“Come, Lingtian, try the fine wine from our Fishman Island. It’s brewed from special underwater fruits and has a very unique taste.” Neptune said with a smile, with a hint of pride in his voice, as if he was showing Lingtian the precious treasures of Fishman Island.

Ling Tian took the wine glass, raised it gently, and observed the color of the wine carefully under the light. The transparent wine seemed to contain the depth and mystery of the sea.

He took a sip, letting the wine spread in his mouth and feeling the unique taste.

The mellow taste of the wine dances on the tip of the tongue like silky satin, and the aroma overflows and permeates the entire mouth, with a hint of fruit and ocean flavor.

Ling Tian couldn't help but nodded and praised: "Well, it is indeed a good wine, with a mellow taste and overflowing fragrance." A satisfied expression appeared on his face, and his love for this fine wine was beyond words.

During the drinking, the originally relaxed and happy atmosphere gradually changed. Neptune's face gradually showed a trace of worry, and that worry slowly enveloped his face like a dark cloud.

He slowly put down the wine glass, and it collided lightly with the table, making a crisp sound, as if it was also sighing for his worries.

He frowned slightly, his eyes full of worry and helplessness, and complained to Ling Tian: "Ling Tian, ​​you don't know, I'm in big trouble now." His voice was low and heavy, with deep distress.

"My daughter, Shirahoshi, has been targeted by a pirate. That guy is simply a madman. He will do anything to get Shirahoshi." Neptune said, with a flash of anger and anxiety in his eyes.

His hands clenched unconsciously, as if he was imagining the threat that the hateful pirate would posed to his daughter. "Now Shirahoshi can only hide. I'm really worried about her."

Neptune's eyes were full of worry and helplessness. He sighed deeply, and that sigh was filled with a father's deep concern for his daughter and the pain of helplessness.

When Ling Tian heard Neptune's words, for a moment, his thoughts seemed to be pulled back to the plots about the pirate VanderDeiken IX that he had read in the original work.

Images flashed quickly through his mind, including Vander Decken's hideous face, strange behavior, and his relentless pursuit of Shirahoshi.

He frowned slightly, and his originally relaxed expression instantly became serious, and his eyes gradually became somewhat solemn, as if shrouded in a layer of haze.

"So it was that guy." Ling Tian muttered to himself, his voice low and cold. He clenched his teeth unconsciously, and every word seemed to be squeezed out from between his teeth.

"He determined that Bai Xing was the destined one because he had met him before and because of the inexplicable curse of his family. It's really ridiculous." Ling Tian's tone was full of disdain and anger. He could not understand such illogical and unreasonable behavior.

The image of Shirahoshi, who was weak and kind, kept appearing in his mind. When he thought about how she was in fear and trouble because of this unreasonable pirate, his anger grew stronger.

Ling Tian clenched his fist unconsciously, his knuckles turning white from the force. His arms trembled slightly, the power surged from his anger.

He was extremely angry at this unreasonable pirate and wanted to bring him to justice immediately. His eyes flashed with anger, as if he wanted to burn Vanderdecken IX to ashes.

"This kind of person is simply the scum of the sea. For his own selfish desires, he will do anything to hurt others." Ling Tian cursed secretly in his heart.

He was well aware of Shirahoshi's special identity. As the Princess of Ryugu, she not only represented the future and hope of Fishman Island, but also shouldered great responsibilities.

Moreover, Shirahoshi could be the ancient weapon Poseidon, the king of the sea. Her existence is of vital importance to the balance of the entire world. How could such a special and important person agree to the pursuit of someone like Vanderdecken?

Ling Tian shook his head helplessly, his eyes revealing deep pity and injustice. He felt deeply saddened by what happened to Bai Xing, an innocent and kind girl.

Shirahoshi should have lived happily in this beautiful Fishman Island, but because of VanderDeiken IX's unreasonable entanglement, she fell into endless fear and distress.

"This Vander Decken IX, when he couldn't catch up with Shirahoshi, he kept throwing things to scare her." Ling Tian said angrily, with an expression of extreme disgust on his face.

His brows were furrowed and the corners of his mouth were slightly turned down, and every expression expressed his contempt for VanderDeken's behavior.

"He is simply a shameless person." He gritted his teeth and squeezed out these words. His hands unconsciously clenched into fists, as if the abominable Vanderdecken was in front of him, and he wanted to rush up and punch him immediately.

His mind kept recalling Vanderdecken's strange ability of the Target Fruit, the terrifying power that could make anything thrown (including one's own body) hit the target accurately like a dart.

This puts Shirahoshi in extremely dangerous situations all the time, and her life is shrouded in the shadow of fear.

Ling Tian could imagine Bai Xing's fear and helplessness every time she faced the sudden attack, her weak body trembling under the endless threat. Thinking of this, Ling Tian's heart was filled with anger and hatred towards Vander Decken.

Thinking of this, Ling Tian stood up with a swift movement. His movements were swift and decisive, as if the anger and determination in his heart had transformed into a powerful force that pushed him to take action immediately.

His body stood straight, like a tall pine tree, exuding a firm aura. He looked at Neptune firmly, his eyes full of determination and unquestionable strength.

"Neptune, where is Vanderdecken now? I'll go and solve this matter for you." Ling Tian's voice was not loud, but it seemed to contain endless power and confidence. Every word was like a heavy artillery shell, full of impact.

When Neptune heard Ling Tian's words, his eyes, which originally held a hint of expectation, instantly dimmed and he slowly shook his head.

There was a hint of helplessness on his face, the kind of helplessness that a tired father would show when faced with an unsolvable problem.

"I don't know exactly where Vander Decken is now." He sighed, his voice full of fatigue and helplessness. Every word was like a heavy stone, weighing heavily in the air.

"That guy is so elusive, always appearing suddenly and then disappearing again." Neptune continued, frowning and revealing deep worry in his eyes.
