Little Camie, An Invitation From The Right Minister

"That's The Fish-Men Island, a world under the sea!" Arias informed Hancock about the Dragon Palace Kingdom.

"Arias, can you go there and have a look?" Despite being eighteen, Hancock, when alone with Arias, exuded a demeanor akin to that of a young daughter.

After some thought, Arias, considering Hancock's desire, decided to explore The Fish-Men Island. He was also quite curious about it.

The boat landed on The Fish-Men Island, and upon disembarking, they noticed another ship nearby. The skull and crossbones flag marked it as a pirate ship.

Seeing Hancock's beauty, the two pirates left behind became instantly captivated. One of them with scars across his face nudged his companion, exclaiming, "Paul, is there such a beautiful woman in this world?"

The other pirate swallowed unconsciously and declared, "Catch her! Let's have some fun before the boss and the others come back!"

"Haha! I'll kill that man first!"

As they spoke, the two pirates leaped down with knives.

"Hey! Woman over there! You are attracted by me! Come here and serve me!"

Arias and Hancock looked at the two people expressionlessly.

There are always people who think life is too long.

After a short while, only two bodies remained on the ground. Arias and Hancock clapped their hands and walked forward.

"Um?"

After taking only two steps, they saw a group of people running toward them. There were probably more than thirty individuals in this group, each vaguely carrying a sack on their backs.

Arias, not wanting to get into trouble, attempted to move out of the way, but a faint voice of "stop" reached his ears. In the distance, numerous murlocs were chasing them.

"Hancock, do it!"

Understanding what these people were doing, Arias urged Hancock to take action. The sacks on their backs likely contained plundered mermaids.

Without hesitation, Hancock touched her lips with her fingers, summoning a huge pink heart-shaped object. She pulled it back like a bow, and a large number of pink arrows emerged from it—a manifestation of Hancock's skill, [Slave Arrow].

How could the flying pirates resist the rain of arrows? Captivated at first sight, the Slave Arrows fell on them, instantly petrifying all thirty pirates.

Arias didn't even have a chance to take action.

The two of them stepped forward and began to untie the sacks one by one. As expected, the sacks were filled with mermaid girls captured by these pirates.

Some of them were accidentally injured by Slave Arrow. Under Arias's instruction, Hancock lifted the petrification of these girls.

"Who are you?" When the girls emerged from the sacks, they were initially frightened. However, the two people in front of them were so incredibly beautiful that they quickly developed fondness.

Arias, possessing innate charm and coupled with his perfect appearance, was extremely attractive to these girls. Hancock, relying on her peerless elegance and the effects of the Love Fruit, exuded a charm that captivated both men and women.

Blushing with embarrassment, the mermaid girls began to imagine intimate encounters with these two humans.

"Brother, are you human? You are so good-looking!" Amidst their infatuation, a cute childish voice captured Arias and Hancock's attention.

Looking down, they saw a young mermaid—only four or five years old—with short light green hair, a pink fish tail swaying on the beach, and a chubby little face that exuded extreme cuteness.

Feeling a sense of pity, Arias knelt down and picked her up, asking gently, "Little sister, what's your name?"

The little mermaid, feeling the big human brother's kindness, was not afraid of strangers and replied crisply, "My name is Camie! Camie went out to play and was caught by those bad guys! Thank you, big brother, for saving Camie!"

Um?

Arias was stunned.

Camie? Isn't this the little confused mermaid? Being caught by pirates at such a young age, this child is really in trouble. Calculating the time, Camie was indeed only five years old at this time.

While the few people were talking, the fishmen and mermaid pursuers from behind had also arrived.

"Let go of these girls! You are already surrounded by the Dragon Palace Guards!"

A seahorse mermaid holding a trident appeared out of the crowd, and the rearguard immediately dispersed, surrounding Arias and Hancock.

Seeing such a confrontation, Hancock snorted and was about to take action, but Camie in Arias's arms was the first to speak: "Big Brother and Sister Humans are good people! They saved Camie!"

As soon as Camie spoke, the mermaid girls on the ground also defended Arias. "Yes, those bad guys have turned into stone, and they are the two good guys who saved us!" "My lord, you are mistaken; they are not bad people!"

Hearing what the mermaid girls said, the seahorse and mermaid looked in shock. Stepping forward, they carefully observed the real images and recognized two of the faces as the human pirates they were chasing.

In this way, these two humans were the saviors of these mermaid girls.

Realizing the misunderstanding, the seahorse mermaid stepped forward and apologized to Arias: "I'm really sorry. I am the right minister of the Dragon Palace, and I was ordered to hunt down these human pirates. Thank you both for your help!"
