Chapter 18 - Chapter 18: Imu’s loneliness and troubles

Imu casually inserted the long sword into the gray ground. 

 

Although he had not sweat on his body, he usually went into the bathroom and took a shower when he returned to the warm and bright wooden house. 

 

He turned on the shower and warm water poured out. Imu raised his face, closed his eyes and enjoyed the comfort of the moment. But when he dried his body, put on a clean bathrobe, and sat down on the soft sofa. As he is looking at the deserted environment, his suddenly felt a little lonely. 

 

At first, I was excited because I suddenly acquired supreme power, wealth comparable to that of a country, and I could even claim to be the leader of this planet. After such a long time, I actually calmed down and even got used to my own power and identity. 

 

But in the final analysis, he is still an ordinary person who has just transmigrated for less than two years and does not have the tenacious mentality of the original Imu. 

 

As a normal person, he actually hopes to have someone to accompany him, to have a few thoughtful words from time to time, and to relieve the stress in his heart. 

 

But he also knew very well that with his current status, he really couldn't be easily contacted by others. 

 

'Between the Moon' might seem like the supreme place, the most mysterious and noble place on the entire planet, but from another perspective it was also considered a spacious cell, although it could leave at any time. 

 

At first, I felt that transmigrating into Imu's body was like the most outrageous beginning one could hope for, compared to transmigrating into a pirate, civilian, or even a slave or prisoner. 

 

If you think about it carefully, those people can at least venture around on the sea, browse the beautiful scenery everywhere, and experience various wonderful events. 

 

If he really wants to go out one day, he has to consider all aspects of the situation, but if he thinks about it carefully, with his current strength, there should be no existence on this planet that can threaten him. 

 

But Imu also knows that the ocean on this planet is much more mysterious and dangerous than the ocean in his previous life. All kinds of supernatural phenomena emerge in an endless stream. No matter how incredible the accident is, it is not surprising. 

 

As for Devil Fruits, to be honest, except for a few Devil Fruits he is interested in, he ignores the others completely. 

 

So, it seems that the only thing left is to find someone to accompany him. 

 

This person, of course, refers to a woman. Logically speaking, given his status, it is easy to find a beautiful woman. Let's just say that the maids who serve him in life are all top-notch beauties. 

 

Before transmigrating, if someone like one of them were his wife, he would hold her in the palm of his hand and pamper her. 

 

But the situation is different now. Imu feels that even if he wants to open a harem, the quality of the women in this harem must be among the best women in the world to match his current status and power. 

 

It's just that this time is a bit awkward. Those future beauties are either not born yet, or they are still too young to be suitable. 

 

At this rate, he would have to wait for the next twelve years if he wanted to get any of the women from the original job. Then he would be forced to have to endure loneliness on top of the world. 

 

While this true king of the world fell into enviable helplessness and anguish. 

 

In the depths of the sea, 10,000 meters below the Red Earth Continent, another thirty-six-year-old king, now exuding pink bubbles of happiness, gazed lovingly at the baby wrapped in the luxurious quilt his wife held in his arms. 

 

"Otohime, give me the baby, I want to hold Fukaboshi too." 

 

The king of Neptune was not even half as majestic as the king of Fishman Island should be right now. He seemed more like a child attracted to toys, looking longingly at his beautiful and delicate queen. 

 

Princess Otohime's face was still obviously tired, but her eyes were particularly bright. After hearing her husband's words, she took a look at his twelve-meter-tall body and huge hands, and then looked down at the little one in her arms. In the end she shook her head firmly. 

 

"No, Fukaboshi was born less than five hours ago. He is too small, and his body is too soft. You should wait a little longer." 

 

"Ah this." 

 

Hearing the rejection, King Neptune was immediately disappointed, but he loved the woman in front of him so much that he couldn't force it. At this moment, a beautiful mermaid maid walked in. 

 

"Your Majesty, the Minister of the Left has come to tell you something important." 

 

"Really? Then let him in!" King Neptune said casually. 

 

Logically speaking, he should go out by himself and talk in the small hall outside, but at this moment he was still immersed in the joy of having a child for the first time, and he really didn't want to leave his wife for a minute. 

 

"Yes, Your Majesty." The mermaid maid naturally had no objection and turned to leave respectfully. 

 

Soon, the Minister of the Left, who was a catfish merman, walked in dressed in a purple robe. At this moment, he barely looked middle-aged. He was not as old as he was when he appeared in the original work and did not have the horned crutch in his hand. 

 

"Long live the King! Long live the Queen!" 

 

Queen Otohime nodded gently, and King Neptune asked crisply, "What's the matter?" 

 

"Yes, the Minister of the Right sent someone to report that a World Government ship has arrived at Fish-Man Island." Minister of the Left said calmly. 

 

'World government?' 

 

King Neptune subconsciously turned his head and looked at Queen Otohime. The latter thought for a moment and said, "Maybe it's for this year's Levely?" 

 

"This should be." 

 

King Neptune felt the same way and then ordered the Minister of the Left: "Inform the Minister of the Right to welcome them and at the same time ask someone to clean the hall and we will meet there!" 

 

"Yes, Your Majesty!" 

 

The Left Minister after hearing this left to deal with these matters. 

 

"Your Majesty, can you let me listen later?" Queen Otohime asked softly. 

 

"This..." 

 

King Neptune was a little hesitant. Of course, he knew what the other party was concerned about. 

 

When he first became king of Fishman Island, he learned that his newly married wife began to fight for the ideal of peaceful coexistence between fishmen and humans. 

 

But to be honest, he doesn't really agree with it in his heart. He thinks it is too unrealistic. He still knows the virtues of the World Government, but he can't stop his wife and can only let her go. 

 

"Your Majesty~" 

 

Queen Otohime's voice became gentler. Such naked coquettishness and pleading made King Neptune instantly break his guard. He scratched the back of his head and said with a silly smile: "Okay!" 

 

Thirty minutes later, the King and Queen, neatly dressed in royal robes, sat on the seats in the banquet hall. One was majestic, the other dignified and virtuous. 

 

This room was extremely luxurious, spacious and tall. Everywhere you looked was filled with the finest corals and pearls, and there was also a huge shell stage in the middle. 

 

Because we were hosting people from the World Government, in order to show seriousness, there were no musicians or dancers on the stage. 

 

Not long after, a gentle young man in a black suit and leather shoes, accompanied by two capable entourages in similar clothes, arrived outside the palace on a huge flounder with bubbles attached.
