After she died, her descendants who possessed the same ability to speak with Sea Kings were granted her name as a Title, known colloquially as the "Mermaid Princess" (Ningyo Hime?). Currently, Shirahoshi has inherited Poseidon's power and her name. Poseidon has the power to communicate with and control Sea Kings, an ability that not even the most powerful merfolk possess. This is considered to be a powerful weapon because of the Sea Kings' destructive potential to sink islands with ease, and to control such a force is regarded as one of the most fearsome abilities in the entire world. While guided by the power of love, it can save thousands of lives, but with evil intentions, it can sink everything into the ocean.
The Sea Kings refer to the Mermaid Princess as their queen. When the current Mermaid Princess Shirahoshi's powers first awoke at age six, she demonstrated no control over her own abilities and would inadvertently summon Sea Kings when she cried out loud, something which put her kingdom at risk. Ten years later, during the battle against the New Fishman Pirates, she fully awakened her ability and seemingly gained control of it. Poseidon lived during the Void Century and made a pact with Joy Boy. She would use her powers to command the Sea Kings to bring Noah to the surface and activate its intended mission, for which the details would be revealed when raised. However, Joy Boy failed in his commitment to Poseidon due to unknown reasons.
