Five hundred and seventy-four, agree with the words of the pirates
In the original plot, Zoro and the others tied up almost all the guards in Dragon Palace City, so although most of the pirates who entered Dragon Palace City were half killed on the hard shell tower, they still helped Hody Jones open the gate of Dragon Palace City.
But now only some of the Dragon Palace guards were stunned or trapped, and the three Dragon Palace princes did not take anyone out to search for the Straw Hats, and they also brought some of the Dragon Palace guards they led back to Dragon Palace City.
Therefore, there are at least more than five hundred guards in Dragon Palace City.
Of course, this is only the regular army of the Dragon Palace Kingdom, and if something really happens to Fish-Man Island, many Fishmen can also be recruited as warriors.
It's just that many of the fishmen on Fish-Man Island are now being co-opted by Hody Jones, and his subordinates have recruited at least 70,000 poor fish-people on Fish-Man Street.
Of course, if King Neptune comes forward, he will naturally be able to make more fishmen on Fish-Man Island support him, he is the king of the Dragon Palace Kingdom after all, but now the situation on Fish-Man Island is a little chaotic, if it is just an internal matter of Fish-Man Island, then it is okay to say.
But when it comes to fish people and humans, it's different.
This is also the reason why Jinping doesn't want Luffy and Hody Jones to fight, and Jinping is worried that Hody Jones can take the opportunity to pull up more fishmen to support him and oppose the peaceful coexistence of fishmen and humans.
In the original plot, Hody Jones also captured Dragon Palace City, captured King Neptune and the three Dragon Palace princes, and defeated the Neptune Legion before he dared to expose his ambitions and say that he was the real murderer of Princess Otohime, and he wanted to replace Neptune as the new king.
Even so, there are still many fishmen on Fish-Man Island who support King Neptune, but there is only one less leader.
They would even rather the Straw Hats destroy such a fish-man island.
Anyway, the Dragon Palace guards in Dragon Palace City are now considered the elite of the regular troops of the Dragon Palace Kingdom, and the number of guarding the palace is about the same.
At this time, although because Luffy took away Shirahoshi, the left and right ministers recruited dozens of Dragon Palace guards to prepare to arrest the remaining Straw Hat team members, but most of the Dragon Palace guards still guarded many important places in Dragon Palace City.
Hard-shell towers. Naturally, there are many Dragon Palace guards guarding here.
Before, Luffy asked Megalo to hide the mermaid princess Shirahoshi in his stomach, and then left Ryugu City directly from the air with the help of Megalo, but there were many Ryugu guards who didn't realize what was happening.
It wasn't until I saw the door of the hard shell tower open in the back and saw that there was no one in it, and I knew that the mermaid princess Shirahoshi had disappeared, and then I thought of Luffy who left with the shark Megalo before. Then I went to the hall of Ryugu Castle to report.
Now those pirates sent by Van der Heiken were naturally discovered by these Dragon Palace guards guarding the hard-shell tower, but there were too many pirates sent in, and the Dragon Palace guards couldn't resist it at all.
In the original plot, Hoddy Jones's new Fish-Man Pirates group enveloped 100,000 people, although more than 70,000 belonged to the fish-men of Fish-Man Island, but more than 30,000 were pirate slaves captured by Hody Jones.
Later, he was directly shocked by Luffy's overlord domineering in the square, which is the so-called battle plot of 100,000 VS ten people.
Therefore, there are also thousands of pirate slaves sent to Dragon Palace City through Van der Heiken this time, and in fact, there are more than 20,000 people who can be sent in an endless stream.
Although many of them died directly on the hard shell tower, the remaining immortals also showed that they had good strength. In this way, for the Dragon Palace guards in Dragon Palace City, it is a little unstoppable.
Hearing the shouts outside, Zhu Linglu frowned, and looked at Neptune again, "King Neptune, it seems that the matter of looking for the princess will be put aside for the time being, so let's ask the three princes to organize an army to stop Hody Jones and Van der Heekken from attacking Dragon Palace City!" ”
And the Shark Star, the Imperial Star, and the Rollover Star are the three princes of the Dragon Palace. He looked at King Neptune, waiting for his command.
"No, I can't. Or the matter of Shirahoshi is more important! Shark Star, you still go to the Sea Forest to find White Star, and bring people to protect White Star, as for Hody Jones, Van der Heiken, Right Minister, you have brought people to suppress it! ”
Neptune, however, insisted on going his own way. Of course, he knew better in his heart the identity of Bai Xing's ancient weapon, if something happened to Bai Xing, it would be a big deal.
Besides, he still has some disdain for Hody Jones and Van der Heiken, in his opinion, Hody Jones is just a bunch of gangsters in Fishman Street, and he didn't care about them before. Just let them mess around over there.
As for Van der Heiken, although it is a headache, the ability to target the fruit of the target comes to harass Bai Xing every day, but it is also because he is hiding outside Fish-Man Island, if he dares to appear on Fish-Man Island, then the Dragon Palace Kingdom would have arrested him a long time ago.
So Neptune still didn't pay much attention to this incident.
The three Dragon Palace princes, Shark Star, Emperor Star, and Rollover Star, looked at Neptune with some surprise, and they were still a little worried about the safety of Dragon Palace City.
Zhu Linglu knew that Hody Jones and Van der Heiken were really bad at coming this time, but seeing Neptune's attitude, he had no choice but to speak again and persuade, "King Neptune, if you believe in our Straw Hat Pirates, then we can help you fight against Hody Jones and Van der Heiken, the three princes should stay, and the left minister and the right minister can follow our companions to find the mermaid princess." Time is running out, so please decide quickly! ”
Zhu Ling said at the intersection, stretched out his hand and pulled at the left and right ministers of the catfish people and seahorse fish people, and easily pulled them up from under the ground of the hall.
"Your Majesty, I really can't stand it, this time I also agree with the words of the pirates, how bold are Hody Jones and Van der Heiken, they actually dare to attack Dragon Palace City! However, then again, now that His Majesty the King is injured, it is really not possible to stop them by relying only on the Right Minister and me! It's better to let the three princes stay with the army, and the right minister and I will go to find the princess! ”
Minister Zuo was more worried about the current situation than Neptune, so he also followed Zhu Linglu's words to persuade Neptune.
At the same time, he was more worried about a question, why did these Straw Hat Pirates come to Dragon Palace City at such a coincidental time now, and whether the Straw Hat Pirates would be an internal response.
So leaving the three Dragon Palace princes behind, he felt safer.
There is no way, this Minister Zuo's judgment has always been unstable, and in the original plot, it was his misjudgment that would allow the Dragon Palace Kingdom to make a move against the Straw Hat Pirates.
In addition, after the right minister got up from the ground, he took the long knife of the moon that Zhu Linglu handed back to him, although he was still a little unwilling in his heart, but he also knew that he was not Zhu Linglu's opponent.
"Father, let's stay and guard Ryugu Castle! Let's go out with me and see how it's going! ”
The eldest prince Shark Star didn't wait for Neptune to make any decision, and listened to the movement outside becoming more and more chaotic, so he simply took his two younger brothers and walked out of the hall directly.
Seeing such a situation, Neptune could only sigh helplessly, who made him unable to move now...... (To be continued......)
