"Do you know where Vander Decken IX is hiding?" Yi Shuihan asked Shark Star.

"know."

"That's good. You can have someone take him there later."

The matter was settled, and Shark Star led Yi Shuihan into the Dragon Palace City.

Seemingly because of the matter of Vander Decken IX, Shark Star was no longer in the mood to lead the way slowly. He quickened his pace considerably and soon led Yi Shuihan and the others to a hall for receiving guests. Inside the hall, they met King Neptune again.

After exchanging a few polite words, Shark Star told Neptune that Yi Shuihan would help resolve the matter of Vander Decken IX. Neptune was overjoyed and immediately ordered Shark Star to personally lead people and Enel to the location of Vander Decken IX.

"We'd like to see Princess Shirahoshi, is that alright?"

"Okay, please follow me."

Led by Neptune, the group arrived at the location of Shirahoshi, where a huge iron gate was covered with various weapons, looking quite terrifying.

"This is where my daughter is staying. Because of Vander Decken IX, she has been staying inside and has never come out." Neptune's face was full of hatred when he mentioned Vander Decken IX.

The axe we saw earlier was stuck in the door, with only half of it sticking out.

"Shirahoshi! Father has brought people to see you."

Outside the door, Neptune spoke loudly, a kind expression unconsciously appearing on his face, showing how much he liked Shirahoshi.

"Huh? Is it...is it Father?"

His tone was noticeably cautious, yet tinged with a hint of anticipation.

“It’s me, open the door! I’ve brought others with me, and the threat from Vander Decken IX will soon be gone.”

The door slowly opened.

Wearing a fish-shaped hair ornament, with wavy and flowing pink hair, bright blue eyes, a beautiful face, a full bust, and a pink fish tail in varying shades, her body is much larger than that of an ordinary mermaid; this is Shirahoshi.

Wow, it's so big and so beautiful.

Bai Xing was as big as a giant, about 17 or 8 meters tall, and Yi Shuihan and the others could only look up at him.

"Father!" Upon seeing Neptune, Shirahoshi's face lit up with joy, and she called out sweetly.

"Are you the guests Father mentioned?" Bai Xing looked at Yi Shuihan and the others with curiosity, her eyes pure and untainted, as if they could calm people's hearts.

"Indeed, they are distinguished guests from the Navy."

"I am Robin."

"Hancock"

You can call me Succubus Sister.

"Just call me Yanlong."

"I am Sandasonia"

"I am Marigold"

After everyone introduced themselves, Bai Xing greeted them respectfully, "Hello everyone, I am Bai Xing, please guide me."

What a good child! That's the feeling Bai Xing gave Yi Shuihan, and perhaps it's the same feeling everyone else had.

Shirahoshi has a gentle and kind personality, and is very polite to everyone, making it easy for people to like her.

"Lord Yanlong, are you a Marine?"

"Didn't you say you'd call me Yanlong?"

"Um...am I that annoying?"

Tears welled up in Bai Xing's eyes, and she was about to cry when Yi Shuihan quickly said, "No, no, call me whatever you want."

She really cries easily! This timid personality is kind of cute, isn't it? It has a healing effect.

"I am indeed a Marine, and I am an Admiral of the Marine Headquarters!"

"Wow, that's amazing."

"Of course."

"..."

Seeing that her brother seemed very happy, Robin smiled as she looked at Yi Shuihan, who was noticeably different from usual. She already had a good impression of Bai Xing, and now she felt even closer to her.

Not only Robin, but Hancock also took a liking to the pure-hearted Shirahoshi. In just a few words, she decided to recognize her as her younger sister and even said that she would protect Shirahoshi's safety in the future.

As the Empress, Hancock was naturally known to Neptune, who was very supportive of Neptune's decision to adopt Shirahoshi as her sister, and even looked forward to it. Thus, Shirahoshi became Hancock's sister in a daze.

Chatting with Bai Xing is a very relaxing thing, especially when we talk about certain things, Bai Xing's eyes are full of admiration and innocence, which makes people feel happy and more eager to talk.

Time passed by unnoticed, and it wasn't until Enel reappeared in front of everyone that they realized how much time had gone by.

"This is……"

Shirahoshi pointed at the object that Enel was holding, which could barely be identified as a fish-man, her eyes filled with surprise and fear. She unconsciously shrank back and raised her hands to cover her head.

"King Van der Deiken IX has arrived. Please give instructions."

Chapter 193, A Boiling World

"Is this the guy Vander Decken IX, the one who's been bullying Shirahoshi?"

"Yes, that's him."

Enel nodded and threw Vander Decken IX to the ground.

Van der Decken IX was indeed badly injured; he showed no reaction even after being thrown to the ground.

"Sister Bai Xing, let me avenge you."

As Hancock spoke, she walked up to Vander Decken IX, raised her foot, and kicked him in a certain part of his body.

"what!"

Van der Deiken IX screamed, then his whole body began to convulse and he foamed at the mouth.

"How scary!"

Enel felt a tightness in his lower body, which sent chills down his spine. He watched as Hancock, who seemed unsatisfied, continued to patronize Vander Decken IX's private parts. Enel mentally added Hancock to his list of people he absolutely could not offend.

"Alright, stop being so violent. Didn't you see how terrified Shirahoshi is? Enel, you should deal with him."

Even Yi Shuihan couldn't stand it anymore, and Bai Xing covered her ears and closed her eyes in fear.

Hancock's expression changed upon hearing Yi Shuihan's words. She then realized that she was in front of Yi Shuihan and looked at him pitifully, saying nervously, "I am not that kind of violent woman!"

"I know you're doing this for Shirahoshi, it's nothing serious."

Thank goodness, thank goodness. It would be terrible if Brother Yi stopped liking me.

With Vander Decken IX dead, the threat to Shirahoshi was gone, which made Shirahoshi's family very happy, especially Shirahoshi. He was very angry when Enel killed those fishmen before, but now he felt nothing but gratitude towards Enel.

At the banquet specially prepared for Yi Shuihan and his party, Yi Shuihan was in a very good mood, enjoying the special delicacies of Mermaid Island and playing with Bai Xing. Meanwhile, on a certain island in the New World...

"Whitebeard! It's been so many years, you've aged quite a bit!" Rayleigh looked at Whitebeard with a smug expression, subtly touching his own jet-black hair and displaying his strong muscles.

"Are you really Rayleigh?" Whitebeard hesitated for a long time before saying this, his expression filled with disbelief. Rayleigh in front of him was too young, which reminded him of the first time he met Rayleigh. But how could Rayleigh be so young?

"It really is me? How about that, are you stunned! But don't be envious of me, you'll be just like me in a moment."

"What do you mean?"

"You have a good son."

Rayleigh looked at Ace as he spoke, his tone full of emotion. Logically speaking, Ace should have been closer to him, but Ace had joined Whitebeard's crew and had even obtained dragon blood for Whitebeard.

"Dad, this is dragon blood. Drink it and you'll be young again." Ace presented the dragon blood to Whitebeard like a precious treasure.

"Dragon blood? So, Rayleigh drank it too?"

"That's right, that's why I came to find you this time. This is the blood of a thousand-year-old dragon, which can extend a person's lifespan to a thousand years. The bucket in front of you can extend Ace's lifespan by 200 years, but for you, it can only extend your lifespan by about 50 years, because its lifespan extension effect is about the same as the user's size."

"Dad, hurry up and drink it! After you drink it, you can drink and eat meat as much as you want."

Seeing Ace's expectant gaze, Whitebeard remained silent for a long time before finally saying, "You should drink it! My 50 years can't compare to your 200 years, and besides, this is something you obtained."

A hint of emotion flashed in Ace's eyes, and Rayleigh looked at Whitebeard with admiration, deeply respecting him. This Whitebeard truly deserved to be a pirate who once stood alongside Roger.

“If this is all the dragon blood there is, then Ace will drink it. But what if there is more dragon blood?” Rayleigh suddenly said.

Upon hearing this, a glint flashed in the white-bearded man's eyes. "So, you've come here this time..."

“That’s right. This dragon blood belongs to that brat Yanlong. He still has five portions that can extend a person’s life by a thousand years. I need to cooperate with you to obtain more dragon blood.”

"Yanlong!?" Upon hearing this name, the white-bearded man couldn't help but recall his battle with Yi Shuihan years ago, and hesitated. Even if he regained his youth, he wasn't confident he could take anything from Yi Shuihan.

“I’m not asking you to go with me to that brat Yanlong to steal it. I know that even if we team up, the chances are slim. That brat Yanlong will keep the dragon blood as a mission reward in the Temple of Myriad Realms. We can just work together to complete the mission then,” Rayleigh explained.

Whitebeard was relieved and nodded, saying, "In that case, we really have no choice but to cooperate. I never expected that Yanlong and the Temple of Myriad Realms would have a connection. Let's turn this ocean upside down again."

After drinking the dragon's blood, Whitebeard's aged body was restored to its peak, and he even made a slight breakthrough, completely stepping into the Black Iron 9-star level. This was stronger than his peak combat power. You should know that when he fought Yi Shuihan, he could only rely on the power of the fruit to launch Black Iron 9-star attacks, while he was still at the Black Iron 8-star level.

After spending almost a month on Mermaid Island, Yi Shuihan finally embarked on his return journey, heading back to the New World, Tasnia Island.

Two months later,

A piece of news that the Temple of All Worlds possesses dragon blood, which can extend human lifespan to a thousand years, ignited the entire One Piece world, causing a global uproar. The news generated far more buzz than when the Pirate King died and revealed the location of the treasure.

Especially after news spread that someone had personally witnessed Whitebeard regaining his youth and being with a similarly young Rayleigh, everyone no longer doubted the power of the dragon blood and went into a frenzy.

Countless people who heard the news searched for the location of the Temple of Myriad Realms, wanting to join, while those who joined were thinking about how to complete the mission and obtain dragon blood.

If the treasure of One Piece is merely a feast for pirates, then the allure of Dragon Blood is something that even the Navy, the World Government, and various nations cannot resist.

Everyone sprang into action, searching for the Temple of Myriad Realms. The Temple of Myriad Realms instantly became the most popular term in the world, known to everyone from 80-year-old seniors to 3-year-old children.

Chapter 194, Dragon Blood Exposed

East China Sea, Gunkanjima (Battleship Island)

Originally just an obscure little island with hardly anyone visiting, Gunkanjima became famous after the Dragon Blood incident.

Many people come here specifically to see this legendary dragon's lair. As a result, pirates worth tens of millions are a common sight on Gunkanjima Island, and occasionally even those worth over a hundred million can be seen.

The once dominant pirate crews in the East Blue have all kept a low profile. There's no way around it; anyone from Gunkanjima could wipe them out. They're not afraid!

"These people are really persistent! I've seen dozens of groups of people search this place." A local from Gunkanjima said with a sneer as he looked at a group of pirates with gleaming eyes searching a cave not far away.

Beside him, another local said dismissively, "Don't say there isn't any. Even if there were, someone would have found it long ago. Dragon blood! No wonder that person was frantically drawing blood back then; it actually had such a great effect."

"Who is this person you're talking about back then?" A sinister voice suddenly rang out from behind the two locals. When they turned around, they saw a middle-aged man with triangular eyes who looked like a bad guy.

"puff"

The two locals were stunned by the middle-aged man with triangular eyes. Before they could react, the man waved his hand at the first local, and a vine quickly grew from the ground and pierced his body.

The first local man's body shrank rapidly, eventually turning into a shriveled corpse that looked incredibly horrifying.

The second local man had never seen anything like it before. He was a different kind of person. Faced with someone killing someone over a mere disagreement, and in such a horrific way, he felt weak all over. Especially when he saw his companion's gruesome death, he felt nauseous and was about to vomit up the food he had eaten that morning.

"You'd better finish speaking before you vomit, or he'll be your role model." The triangular-eyed man's sinister voice rang out again, especially as the vine that had sucked blood turned blood red and waved in the air, pointing directly at the second local, making him tremble with fear.

He didn't actually know Yi Shuihan's identity. He had only seen him from afar and couldn't even remember what he looked like, let alone his name.

Nono opened her mouth to explain, but after several attempts, she didn't know what to say.

"Another piece of trash, well then, it'll become my food."

"do not want!"

A moment later, the man with the triangular eyes left, leaving only two emaciated corpses in the spot.

Yi Shuihan did not hide his appearance at the time, so some people remembered him, especially Robin and the succubus, who were so beautiful that they were even more memorable.

When these pirates, underworld bosses, and various forces were determined to find out Yi Shuihan's identity, his identity was eventually exposed.

"Admiral Yanlong of the Navy Headquarters, the one who obtained the Dragon Blood is him?"

"It was him! I never expected it. But how does the Temple of Myriad Realms possess dragon blood?"

"It is said that Yanlong is also one of the 12 guardians of the Temple of Myriad Realms, and his code name is actually his guardian title."

"Hiss, so that's how it is."

"..."

The truth will out. When Yi Shuihan learned that everyone knew he possessed dragon blood, he could only smile bitterly, realizing that he had been somewhat presumptuous.

"Gululu, guluulu"
