Chat Group For The Dead : Start From One Piece

Lucas looked at Shirahoshi with a sigh and remarked, "What a waste! Poseidon, the legendary Sea King, reduced to nothing more than a fragile princess hidden away. At this rate, she's only good for display."

King Neptune's face twitched with embarrassment, while Shirahoshi gazed at Lucas curiously, unsure whether to feel insulted or curious.

"Don't be afraid," Lucas reassured her with a smile. "I'm not a bad guy. I came here to fulfill a promise. Soon, I'll take you and Fishman Island away from the depths of the sea."

Shirahoshi blinked, her large eyes widening. "Fulfill the promise?"

As the words left her lips, her pale cheeks turned bright red.

According to ancient Fishman Island legends, the one who fulfilled a promise with the mermaid princess was destined to be her future husband. The realization sent her heart into a flurry.

Just then, Sea Knight Jinbei returned, his expression grim. "Lord Lucas, King Neptune! We've successfully captured Hody Jones and his gang. After interrogation, it's confirmed—Hody was the mastermind behind Princess Otohime's murder."

Neptune's body stiffened, his hands clenching into fists.

Jinbei's voice was laced with anger. "These bastards not only assassinated our queen, but they also mass-produced Tamatebako to overthrow Fishman Island. If it weren't for Lord Lucas' warning, I don't know how much devastation they would have caused."

King Neptune took a deep breath. "Where are they now?"

Jinbei replied, "They've been imprisoned. Additionally, Marco and his team uncovered another threat on Fishman Island—Vander Decken . They've gone to capture him as well."

Inside the Chat Group

Golden Lion Shiki: " Vander Decken That name sounds familiar."

Whitebeard: "It's an old legend, nothing more. The protagonist was called Vander Decken ."

Fisher Tiger: "It's not just a story. The real Vander Decken exists, though not as exaggerated as the myth."

Fire Fist Ace: "So, is he some wanted criminal on Fishman Island?"

Lucas: "Exactly. He also discovered Shirahoshi's identity as Poseidon and has been harassing her for years. That's why she's been confined to the Hard-Shell Tower."

Golden Lion Shiki: "Wait a second—are you telling me a single criminal managed to lock up the mermaid princess all this time? That doesn't add up! Could he even break into the palace?"

Lucas: "Not quite. Vander Decken ate the Paramecia Target-Target Fruit. It allows him to lock onto anyone he's touched, and anything he throws will automatically home in on them—forever."

Lucas: "When Shirahoshi was a child, Vander Decken touched her with his hand. Ever since, he's been using his ability to send love letters her way. When she didn't respond, he escalated to throwing weapons—axes, swords, you name it."

Pirate King Roger: "A long-range, auto-tracking ability? That's actually a pretty good Devil Fruit."

Golden Lion Shiki: "Eh, it's decent, but not against real fighters. It's just a glorified harassment tool."

Whitebeard: "Gurarara~ True masters wouldn't even flinch against such attacks. Even if I were asleep, I could block those projectiles without waking up."

Fire Fist Ace: "Agreed!"

Ace chuckled as he recalled his own experience. Before the truly joined Whitebeard's crew, he had relentlessly tried to assassinate Whitebeard in his sleep, attempting to claim his head. But no matter when or how he attacked, Whitebeard always blocked him—often knocking him away in the process.

Whitebeard didn't even need to wake up.

Whitebeard: "Five newcomers… but only one might be an old acquaintance. Woonan, is that really you? It's me—Edward Newgate, Whitebeard!"

Golden Thief Woonan: "Roger? Golden Lion? Whitebeard?! What's going on here?!"

Pirate King Roger: "Long story short, for certain reasons, the dead have gathered in this chat group."

Golden Lion Shiki: "Hahaha! Imagine that—even after death, I can chat with my old rivals. It's the only real benefit!"

Lucas: "Who said that was the only benefit? This chat group is more than just a gathering place for the dead. If any of you have unfulfilled dreams, I can help you accomplish them. Of course… I expect some compensation in return."
