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

Neptune fell into deep thought after hearing Ling Tian's words. He frowned slightly, and his eyes revealed complex emotions. On the one hand, he was extremely worried about Bai Xing's safety. As a father and king, he had the responsibility to protect Bai Xing.

On the other hand, he also understood that Ling Tian's words made sense. He knew Ling Tian's strength and judgment very well. Since Ling Tian was so sure that Shirahoshi and Luffy were safe together, then perhaps he should trust the judgment of this young man.

Neptune stood there quietly, weighing the pros and cons in his mind. Time seemed to stand still at this moment, and the air around him became particularly heavy.

After a while, he nodded slowly. This decision was not easy, but he knew it was the best choice at the moment.

He knew that what Ling Tian said made sense, since Shirahoshi was with Luffy and the others, she should be safe.

Neptune recalled the performance of Luffy and others on Fishman Island. Although their behavior was a bit reckless, their bravery and justice also left a deep impression on him.

Moreover, he did not want to cause unnecessary trouble due to the pursuit of soldiers. Fishman Island had just experienced the threat of Vanderdecken, and what it needed now was stability and peace.

If a conflict arises with Luffy and the others because of the pursuit of Shirahoshi, it will bring more trouble to Fishman Island.

"Okay, I'll listen to you." Neptune said, his voice full of trust. He looked at Ling Tian firmly, as if telling him that he believed in his judgment.

Although Neptune's tone was calm, it revealed the majesty and decisiveness of a king. He knew that as a king, his decision would affect the fate of the entire Fishman Island.

Then he gave the order: "Stop the pursuit and let Princess Shirahoshi and her friends move freely." Neptune's voice echoed in the palace, full of majesty and determination.

His orders were like imperial decrees and were quickly conveyed to every soldier.

The soldiers stopped in their tracks when they heard Neptune's order. Their hurried pace stopped instantly, as if a pause button had been pressed.

There were expressions of surprise and confusion on their faces, and they were obviously surprised by the order. Although they were a little confused, they still obeyed the king's order.

Ling Tian looked at Neptune and gave him the order, then took Neptune to look for Luffy. Ling Tian's steps were firm and steady, and his eyes revealed a sense of mission.

He knew that although Shirahoshi was safe for the time being, Neptune's concern as a father was understandable. He had to find Luffy and the others as soon as possible so that Neptune could see Shirahoshi's situation with his own eyes to ease his anxiety.

After all, Shirahoshi is someone else's daughter, and Neptune is always worried about letting Luffy take her away like this. Neptune followed Ling Tian closely, his heart full of worry.

His brows were furrowed, and the deep wrinkles seemed to be traces of worry carved by the years. His eyes revealed a hint of uneasiness, and that uneasiness was like a dark cloud hanging over his heart.

He kept looking around, as if looking for Shirahoshi.

He knew very well that the world of pirates was full of dangers and uncertainties. Although Ling Tian was a trustworthy person, he did not know much about Luffy and others.

In Neptune's mind, pirates are often lawless, they pursue freedom and wealth by any means necessary. He doesn't know what Luffy's real purpose is, nor does he know what they will do to Shirahoshi.

This uncertainty made him extremely anxious.

Shirahoshi was his most beloved daughter, and he couldn't let her fall into any danger. Neptune's heart was filled with fatherly love, and Shirahoshi's smiling face kept appearing in his mind.

He thought of Shirahoshi's gentleness and kindness, and her importance to Fishman Island. He knew that he had to protect Shirahoshi, no matter what the cost. He clenched his fists tightly, and swore in his heart that he must ensure Shirahoshi's safety.

"Lingtian, even though you said Shirahoshi is with your captain, I'm still a little worried. After all, we don't know much about them, and you are pirates." Neptune said in a heavy tone, his eyes full of worry.

Neptune stared at Ling Tian closely, as if seeking an answer that would reassure him. His voice was low and slow, and every word was filled with deep concern.

His hands were shaking slightly, showing his inner uneasiness. As the king of Fishman Island and Shirahoshi's father, he could not tolerate any situation that might cause harm to Shirahoshi.

Ling Tian understood Neptune's concerns. He nodded slightly and said, "King Neptune, I understand your concerns. Although Luffy and his friends are pirates, they are also a group of people with a sense of justice. I believe they will not harm Shirahoshi."

Ling Tian's voice was steady and powerful, like a magic needle that stabilized the sea, trying to ease Neptune's worries. His eyes were firm and sincere, making people believe his words involuntarily.

Ling Tian knows Neptune's concerns, but he also believes in Luffy and his friends. Although Luffy and his friends act recklessly, their hearts are full of justice and kindness. They will not hurt Shirahoshi, but will protect her instead.

Soon, Lingtian and Neptune found Luffy and Shirahoshi in a tavern.

The pub was filled with a lively atmosphere, with people's laughter and the clinking of glasses intertwined. The lively scene seemed like a vivid picture scroll, making people feel the beauty and vitality of life.

The lights in the pub were dim and warm, illuminating everyone's smiling faces. The air was filled with the aroma of wine and food, making people salivate.

When Ling Tian and Neptune found them, Luffy was performing the chopsticks-in-the-nose trick for Shirahoshi.

Luffy's face was filled with a bright smile, which was like the brightest sunshine in summer, warm and full of vitality.

The corners of his mouth were raised high, revealing a row of white teeth. That smile seemed contagious, making people feel happy involuntarily.

His eyes sparkled like bright stars, full of innocence and vitality. There was no worry or trouble in his eyes, only love for life and curiosity about the unknown.

He exudes a carefree aura, as if the world is a huge playground in his eyes, full of endless fun and surprises.

He held two chopsticks in his hands, which seemed to have become magical props. He carefully inserted them into his nose, and every movement seemed so serious and focused.

His brows were slightly furrowed, and his eyes revealed a hint of nervousness, as if he was conducting an important experiment. When the chopsticks were successfully inserted into his nose, a smug look immediately appeared on his face, as if he had accomplished a great feat.
