It took Shirahoshi almost two hours of swimming in the sea before she reluctantly came ashore, with Andy watching her from a coral.
He wasn't tired; it was just that seawater was salty, and since he wasn't a Fishman, he felt uncomfortable all over after soaking for too long.
"Thank you, Big Brother Andy, today is the happiest day Shirahoshi has had in two years." Shirahoshi joyfully swam to the shore and looked at Andy, who was sitting on the coral, a brilliant smile on her face, her eyes curved into crescent moons.
"It's good that you're happy. From now on, if you want to swim, you can come here." Andy reached out his hand and gently stroked Shirahoshi's hair, his eyes full of doting affection.
Shirahoshi's heart filled with joy upon hearing this, but then her eyes dimmed, and she said dejectedly, "But... Father King said I can't leave Dragon Palace City casually. He said there are too many bad people outside."
"Hmm..." Andy slowly withdrew his hand, gently pinching his chin with his index finger and thumb, falling into thought. "That is a problem, after all, our Shirahoshi is so cute, and those bad people with ill intentions love to snatch cute children."
"Then... Big Brother Andy, what should we do?" Shirahoshi immediately became nervous upon hearing this, unconsciously tugging at her fingers.
Andy did not answer immediately.
He stood up, and a pair of wings grew from his back, slowly lifting him into the air.
He circled in the air, overlooking the entire Mermaid Cove, which was like a dreamlike wonderland. The light of Eve shone on him, outlining a golden silhouette.
Watching Andy flying in the air, Shirahoshi was so surprised her mouth hung open, and her eyes sparkled with admiration: "Sugoi! Big Brother Andy can fly, he's so amazing!"
Not long after, Andy steadily returned to Shirahoshi's front.
"I have a way." Andy said to Shirahoshi with a smile on his face, "I will build a park here at Mermaid Cove, a dream park that belongs only to you, Shirahoshi. My unique mark will be hung at the park entrance, so others won't dare to make any unfavorable moves towards Shirahoshi."
"A park? Really?" Shirahoshi's eyes instantly lit up.
Dragon Palace City also had parks where one could swim, but they were far from matching the beauty and wonder of Mermaid Cove, which is why Shirahoshi had a special fondness for this place.
"Of course." Andy gently stroked Shirahoshi's hair again, responding with a smile, "At that time, I will also leave something magical inside your body. As soon as you encounter danger, it will immediately activate and protect you."
"That's wonderful, thank you, Big Brother Andy." Shirahoshi was overjoyed; finally, she could come here to play.
"Hahaha~ Let's go, that's enough for today. You can continue to come find me to play tomorrow." Andy bent down, picked up Shirahoshi's huge body, and with a few leaps, returned to the shore.
At this time, Jinbe was still waiting for Shirahoshi on the shore.
"Red Hawk-sama, you've truly gone to a lot of trouble today." Jinbe immediately came over to apologize to Andy. He always felt a bit apprehensive having such a figure accompany the princess of Fish-Man Island.
"You're welcome, I really like Shirahoshi's innocence and cuteness." Andy said indifferently, "By the way, tell your King Neptune that I want to fence off the entire Mermaid Cove and build it into a park. This park will be my territory from now on, but anyone can enter to play, however, fighting is forbidden in this park."
Jinbe was shocked upon hearing this. Red Hawk would go to such lengths for Princess Shirahoshi?
Shirahoshi was very touched.
She truly liked Big Brother Andy too much.
Carifa was a little surprised. Three days ago, after seeing Shirahoshi's appearance, she knew Andy liked this Mermaid Princess.
She just didn't expect Andy to go to such an extent.
Is this Mermaid Princess so special?
"Carifa, I'll leave this matter to you. Shirahoshi, see you tomorrow, I'm leaving now." Andy finished speaking and, without waiting for a response, walked towards the Coral Hotel.
"See you tomorrow, Big Brother Andy~" Shirahoshi happily waved at Andy.
Jinbe slowly suppressed the shock in his heart, his tone returning to steady as he said, "Princess, let's go, we should return to Dragon Palace City first. We still need to discuss the park matter with His Majesty Neptune."
He also felt in his heart that he had to tell Whitebeard, because Fish-Man Island was currently under the protection of the Whitebeard Pirates, which meant Red Hawk was going to carve out an area within the Whitebeard Pirates' territory.
"Okay, Boss Jinbe, let's go." Shirahoshi responded obediently.
Immediately after.
Shirahoshi returned to Dragon Palace City under the protection of a team of guards and Jinbe.
Over the next week, with the help of a large amount of Berries, Mermaid Cove was quickly enclosed and built into a huge park, including a playground.
The park entrance was built from sturdy underwater rocks, and above the entrance stood a massive statue of Garuda.
Now everyone in the sea knew that this was Andy's Devil Fruit image.
With Andy's terrifying reputation in the sea now, unless someone wanted to die, they would absolutely not dare to cause trouble in this park.
On the day the park was completed, Shirahoshi was very happy; now she could finally come here to swim.
Moreover.
This park was named White Star Park by Andy!
This touched Shirahoshi greatly.
Andy sealed three strands of Conqueror's Haki within Shirahoshi's body. With Andy's current Conqueror's Haki, he was confident that even a Marine Vice Admiral would be unable to withstand his pressure and would be directly knocked unconscious.
Finally, he also gave Shirahoshi a Den Den Mushi, telling her to contact him immediately if she encountered danger.
King Neptune and the others were very grateful.
No wonder Shirahoshi said Red Hawk's inner voice sounded pleasant; he had been in Fish-Man Island for so long and hadn't done anything scary.
He was a genuinely good person!
"Red Hawk-sama, thank you for everything you've done for Fish-Man Island. If you ever need anything in the future, this old man will do his utmost!" Jinbe came before Andy and pledged solemnly.
"Really? You can do anything I ask?" Andy looked at Jinbe with interest.
"Uh..." Jinbe's face stiffened. He felt like he had pledged too early, and there was a bad feeling, but since the words had been spoken, he wouldn't go back on them. "Of course! Anything!"
"Ya hahaha~ Don't worry, I won't ask you to do anything difficult, just to deliver some things to East Blue." Andy said with a laugh, then took out a pile of books from his space.
These books were all related to climate.
Of course, there were also some training methods, such as Navy Six Styles.
So it was just for delivering things, Jinbe instantly breathed a sigh of relief. He said confidently, "Red Hawk-sama, leave this matter to this old man. I will definitely deliver all these books in the shortest possible time! It's just, who are they to be delivered to?"
Andy responded with a meaningful expression on his face: "On Conomi Island in East Blue, there's a Cocoyasi Village. Just deliver these books to a little girl named Nami in the village."
"Nami? This old man understands!" Jinbe said seriously.
"Wait, I haven't finished speaking yet." Andy continued to add,
"Tell this little girl a few words: tell her that I'm waiting for her in the place with the most Berries in the New World. As long as she can find me, I'll give her endless Berries.
Also, after you arrive at Cocoyasi Village, if you find her being bullied, kill all those who are bullying her.
Any problem?"
"No problem!" Jinbe quickly assured him; he felt the bloody killing intent from Andy. "This old man will handle this matter. Anyone who can bully a little girl proves they are an evil person!"
"That's good. Make sure to handle it properly, or I'll get angry." Andy gave Jinbe a deep look.
"Please rest assured, Red Hawk-sama." Jinbe pledged solemnly.
