The Ancient Weapon Poseidon! The Relationship Between the Mermaid Princess and the Sea Kings | Executors of the Will of the Great Sea?

One of the three Ancient Weapons, Poseidon, has been revealed to be Princess Shirahoshi, but the relationship between the Mermaid Princess and the Sea Kings is still not entirely clear…
Let’s explore this topic today!

About the Ancient Weapon Poseidon

The true identity of the Ancient Weapon Poseidon is Princess Shirahoshi, who is the “Mermaid Princess,” the ruler of the Sea Kings, born once every several centuries. The Sea Kings act according to the commands of their ruler, which is Shirahoshi.
In other words, the Mermaid Princess alone does not constitute an Ancient Weapon; it is only with the Sea Kings that Poseidon becomes a fully realized Ancient Weapon.
The Sea Kings themselves say, “Our king is born as a mermaid… why is that?” indicating that even they do not fully understand why they recognize and follow the Mermaid Princess as their king.
Shirahoshi also seems to have the understanding that she has the ability to communicate with the Sea Kings and that they listen to and help her.
Since the Mermaid Princess and the Sea Kings are entirely different species, it feels strange that the Mermaid Princess is their ruler, making the nature of their relationship intriguing. Moreover, it’s evident to anyone that Poseidon is fundamentally different from Uranus and Pluton, the other Ancient Weapons.If we consider the Sea Kings as a weapon, they are biological weapons with free will. If they were to act destructively as a group, it’s easy to imagine the world being thrown into chaos, making it clear that they need to be controlled. But why is the ruler of the Sea Kings not born among the Sea Kings themselves, and instead, the ruler is the Mermaid Princess, a different species?
Additionally, why is it that the Mermaid Princess, who is born only once every several hundred years, is necessary for this weapon to function? This system of only being operational for about 100 years out of every several hundred years seems quite uncertain for something called a “weapon.”
The answer likely lies in the concept of the “Two Kings.”
