Seeing Jinbe's expression, Nami fell silent.
She could tell that the other person was serious, and that they could die at any time if she wanted to!
But that's precisely why she couldn't say those words.
"You really dare to say that," Sanji said through gritted teeth, glaring at Jinbe. "Then atone with your death!"
"While this won't vent my anger, at least it will calm Nami down a bit!"
"you..
"Stop, Sanji!"
Seeing Nami interrupt him, Sanji paused for a moment, then said, "But Miss Nami, when you think about what those bastards did to you..."
"That's not the same thing."
Nami interrupted Sanji again, saying, "After hearing his story, I knew this person meant no harm at all."
While the other party does bear some responsibility, ultimately, he shouldn't be the one at fault.
"I'm willing to accept any punishment," Jinbe said, bowing his head again. "If it can make you feel better, I'm willing to die..."
"Stop talking!"
"Stop talking..."
"Um?"
Jinbe was stunned when he glanced at Nami, who had stopped him.
She said, "I hate Arlong, not the fish-men." Nami shook her head and said, "So I won't hold a grudge against you for that."
After saying that, Nami sighed, then seemed to breathe a sigh of relief and said, "Anyway... it's so good that you're not the mastermind behind Arlong's gang."
"You're Luffy and Xiyan's friend. If you really are the mastermind behind this, I don't know what to do."
Jinbe fell silent. So this girl was thinking about other people's feelings just now?
Just how kind is she?
Thinking of this, Jinbe's body began to tremble slightly.
Nami ignored Jinbe's reaction and turned to look at the Thousand Sunny beside her, saying softly, "Arlong and his crew did make me suffer a lot, but in this tragic fate, I also met many companions who could share life and death with me."
After saying that, Nami paused for a moment, then continued, "I won't resent you just because you're a fish-man, so don't make a fuss about my life."
I am very happy now.
Jinbe's eyes widened immediately when he saw the girl smiling at him.
At that moment, he actually saw the shadows of Queen Otohime and Brother Tiger in this kind girl!
"this.."
At this moment, this elder brother, who was in such a difficult position, completely broke down, and tears streamed down his face.
"What a magnanimous spirit..."
Then, the older man bowed his head heavily, weeping, and said, "Thank you..."
At this moment, Jinbe was truly grateful to Nami.
"So this is how painful it is..."
Seeing Jinbe unable to stop crying, Nami felt completely relieved.
Nami...
Xiaoba also started sobbing, tears streaming down her face, and her body began to tremble.
Seeing this, west Yan sighed, but this time he didn't say anything. Instead, he treated Xiao Ba even more carefully.
Then, west Yan turned to look at Jinbe and Nami, and relaxed completely.
If it really comes to that, he...—
Forget it, I don't want to think about it anymore. Anyway, it hasn't come to that point, has it?
Thinking of this, west Yan was about to look away, but before he could do anything, he saw Nami give him a warm smile.
west Yan was taken aback for a moment upon seeing this, and then he also laughed.
Nami... can really warm people's hearts sometimes.
Just then, Franky suddenly started wailing and crying.
"Wow!"
"I understand Jinbe's difficult situation."
"You're a real man, Jinbe!"
"Whether it's Tiger or Queen Otohime, I love you both the most!"
"Wow!"
After glancing at Franky and Jinbe, who were weeping bitterly, Merry also began to wipe away her tears.
At this moment, she also felt the same way as Franky.
Just then, Luffy, who was sitting on the ground, collapsed to the ground with a thud.
This scene stunned everyone present.
"Hey, Luffy?!" Merry immediately looked anxious and said, "What happened to you? Were you ambushed?"
"A sneak attack?"
Chopper paused for a moment, then exclaimed excitedly, "Doctor!"
"doctor!"
"Ah... I'm a doctor!"
Chopper, realizing what was happening, immediately ran towards Luffy, but he realized something was wrong halfway there because... he heard a snoring sound coming from Luffy.
Everyone:
Was she asleep?
"Hey, you, get up right now!" Sanji walked over and kicked Luffy in the face, saying, "What are you doing sleeping at a time like this?!"
"Um?"
Luffy, who had been kicked awake by Sanji, looked around in a daze, then instinctively grabbed his hat and said, "I slept so well..."
"Honestly, I thought you were the type to listen to others properly, which is rare for you," Sanji said with a disgruntled look. "Turns out you were asleep."
He really overestimated this idiot.
Xi Yan also complained, "It's amazing you can sleep like that."
"I was so sleepy that I fell asleep," Luffy said.
After saying that, he glanced at Jinbe, who was wailing and crying loudly, and asked in confusion, "Jinbe, why are you crying?"
Jinbe: !!!
Reminded by Luffy, Jinbe immediately held back his tears, then wiped them from his face and said, "What nonsense are you talking about? How could I possibly cry?"
But you...
"You're so long-winded. I already told you I didn't cry."
"That was just sand in my eye."
"Is that so?"
Luffy tilted his head and thought for a moment, then shook his head and ignored it.
"Oh, right, Jinbe," Luffy said, putting his hat back on, "what happened to that cowardly mother after she caught the bad guy?"
Sanji: ? ? ?
"Isn't that what we said at the beginning?!" Sanji roared, opening his shark-like mouth. "You weren't sleeping the whole time, were you?!"
"It seems so..."
west Yan glanced at Luffy, who was completely oblivious, and his lips twitched. It seemed that Luffy was not the type to listen to stories attentively.
"Since Nami has forgiven you, I won't say anything more." Perona looked at Jinbe and said, "But blue fatso, remember this: if you ever dare to bully Nami again, I will absolutely not let you off!"
As she spoke, several negative ghosts appeared around Perona, swirling around her with an intimidating aura.
"How could I possibly do such a thing?" Jinbe shook his head and said, "I'm more than grateful to everyone."
"That would be best."
Perona nodded, then said nothing more, and put her ghost away.
Nami, who had taken in both of their reactions, felt a warm feeling in her heart. Then she looked up at Shirahoshi, who was secretly wiping away tears, and said, "Your name is Shirahoshi, right?"
"Hey, Nami!"
Cammy immediately jumped over anxiously, grabbing Nami's arm and saying, "She's a princess, you can't just call her by her first name..."
What if Her Highness is concerned about this kind of thing?
"It's alright," Bai Xing shook her head and said, "Just call me Bai Xing."
She doesn't mind people calling her by her first name; in fact, she likes it.
Kemi was taken aback. "Is that so?"
Nami laughed and said, "Why are you crying again, Shirahoshi?"
"Because I thought of my mother, the tears..."
"Queen Otohime..."
Recalling the person Jinbe had just mentioned, Nami's face showed a hint of emotion as she said, "She was indeed a great person."
"yes!"
Upon hearing this compliment, Shirahoshi's face immediately lit up with a happy smile.
Then she laughed and said, "You call Nami 'dear,' right?"
"Your Highness, Nami, 'kiss' is a term of endearment..." Cammy anxiously reminded her, "Your real name doesn't include 'kiss'."
"That must be Nami."
"Yes."
Nami smiled and nodded, saying, "My name is Nami, you can just call me by my name."
"Um!"
Bai Xing nodded vigorously, then, as if she had thought of something, she smiled gently and said, "Although this is our first meeting, for some reason, I feel like we've known each other since childhood."
"It really makes me feel at ease~"
Although she didn't know why, she definitely had that feeling.
"yes."
A complex look flashed in Nami's eyes before she smiled and said, "Perhaps it's because our experiences are somewhat similar."
"Maybe."
"Similar experiences...."
Looking at the two of them laughing at each other, a complex look appeared in west Yan's eyes.
In a sense, that's really the case.
"Nami, you wouldn't happen to have mermaid blood, would you?" Luffy said, glancing at Nami.
Nami:? ? ?
Upon hearing Luffy's words, several question marks immediately appeared above Nami's head.
How did she end up with mermaid blood?
Xi Yan looked at Luffy speechlessly and said, "What kind of strange idea is that?"
Does having a familiar feeling mean you share the same bloodline?
That argument is untenable.
"Is that so?" Luffy tilted his head and thought for a moment, then said, "But I remember Nami is a pretty good swimmer."
These words immediately silenced everyone.
Is that all there is to it?
Nami, however, wore a thoughtful expression.
"Thinking about it carefully, my swimming skills are indeed ridiculously good," Nami muttered to herself.
Could it be that she really does?
No, no, Luffy has misled us. She doesn't have any fish-man characteristics at all, so how could she have mermaid blood?
Thinking about this, Nami calmed down.
Just then, Jinbe, who had been sitting on the ground, stood up, coughed lightly, and said, "It's time to deal with Hody and the others."
Upon hearing this, Hachi immediately said, "Boss Jinbe, Deiken has also teamed up with Hody."
"He caused my injury."
"That guy..."
Listening to Hachi's words, Jinbe fell into deep thought.
If that's the case, he'll have a chance to take down that bastard Vander Deiken!
"What are you planning to do?" Sanji asked.
"Ryugu Castle has special defenses, so Hody and his men shouldn't be able to break through," Jinbe said after thinking for a moment. "So all we need to do is take down Hody and his men."
With his strength, defeating Hody and his group wouldn't be difficult at all.
"The special defenses of Ryugu Castle?" Melly asked curiously. "Are they like the double-layered bubbles we encountered before?"
"More or less," Jinbe nodded and said.
Because of the special nature of those bubbles, even if someone wanted to fly up using the bubbles, they couldn't, so there's no need to worry about being hacked.
"Then Zoro and the others should be safe now."
"It's definitely safe," Perona said. "Zoro may be terrible with directions, but his strength is undeniable."
As someone who spent two years living and working alongside Zoro, I know very well just how strong that man is.
It's fair to say that if he wanted to, he could simply cleave the Dragon Palace City in two!
"I don't know if Zoro and the others are safe, but Ryugu Palace... might not be safe."
Upon hearing this, everyone immediately looked puzzled. Why would west Yan suddenly say something like that?
"What do you mean?"
"When Luffy and I left Hardshell Tower with Shirahoshi, there were some humans lying at the entrance," Xi Yan recalled. "But those people weren't there when we first went to Hardshell Tower!"
"so....
"So you think these people were thrown over there by Vander Deikun, who was working with Hody?" Xiao Ba asked in shock.
If you think about it carefully, it's not impossible.
After all, the last time he went to see Hody, he saw a large number of humans and Vander Deikun there!
"That's possible," west Yan said, stroking his chin. "The New Fishman Pirates might be capturing humans for this purpose as well."
Use Vander Deikun's ability to throw people into the Dragon Palace, then have them figure out how to open the connecting corridor, so you can storm into the Dragon Palace!
"Damn it, so that's how it is." Jinbe said with a grim expression, "Then we really miscalculated."
"Don't be so pessimistic," Perona said. "With Zoro around, those people shouldn't be able to cause any trouble."
With Zoro's strength, killing those people would definitely not be a problem.
Unfortunately, these words meant nothing to Jinbe.
Since he hadn't seen what was going on inside with his own eyes, he was still very worried.
Thinking of this, Jinbe decided to say something more.
But before he could even speak, he saw west Yan's expression suddenly change.
"What's wrong?"
"Things have really taken us by surprise," west Yan said, frowning.
"What do you mean?"
Jinpei looked at Xiyan with a puzzled expression, not understanding why the other party would suddenly say such a thing.
"Before we came here, I sent out several shadow clones to gather intelligence," west Yan said. "Just now, I received the memories transmitted back by these shadow clones."
"Based on the information gathered by the shadow clones..."
"That guy named Hody has already led his men to invade Ryugu Castle."
Upon hearing this, everyone's expression immediately changed.
"That's really a terrible situation," Jinbe said with a grim expression.
Although he didn't know how strong Zoro was, fighting fishmen in a place like Ryugu Castle would be a huge disadvantage!
If the enemy destroys the outer structure and allows seawater to enter the Ryugu Castle, Zoro and his companions, being human, will definitely be captured by the fish-men!
And by then... King Neptune and the others, who have been tied up by Sauron and his crew, will definitely be captured by Hody.
Thinking about this, Jinbe felt a headache coming on.
"I hope Zoro and the others won't suffer a loss," Mary said with some concern.
"Probably not," Perona said, shaking her head.
She remained steadfast in her beliefs.
Zoro is very strong!
After thinking for a moment, Nami looked up at Xiyan and asked, "Besides that, what else did you find out?"
"Those guys from Fishman Town are demanding that the residents of Fishman Island trample on Queen Otohime's portrait to prove that they hate humans."
"What?!"
Upon hearing west Yan's words, Jin Ping immediately became furious.
"How dare these bastards?!"
Queen Otohime dedicated her entire life to Fishman Island, never giving up on her dream until her death, and yet these bastards... they deserve to die!
Upon hearing Xi Yan's words, Bai Xing covered her eyes and began to cry.
"Mother."
"White Star".
Seeing Shirahoshi burst into tears, Nami didn't know how to comfort this sentimental girl.
"This is Hody's plan," Hachi said with a pained expression. "To use this method to identify which fish-men are friendly with humans, and then... kill them!"
"What?"
"That guy actually plans to kill even the fish-men?" Chopper exclaimed in surprise. "Isn't he supposed to hate humans? Why is he even targeting the fish-men...?"
"Because he's different from Brother Ah Long."
Hachi closed his eyes and said, "Hody is like someone who grew up feeding on the hatred and anger of Fishman Island, even more insane than Brother Arlong!"
"Although Brother Alon hates humans, he will not harm his fellow fish-men."
"But Hody is different; he wants to kill the merfolk who are on friendly terms with humans as well!"
Listening to Xiao Ba's words, everyone finally understood what kind of person this guy named Hody was.
"So this guy has gone this crazy?" Jinbe said, frowning.
She was perfectly normal in front of him, but now she's acting like this.
Could it be that this person has been faking it all along?
Thinking of this, Jinbe fell into deep thought.
"Yes, he's that crazy."
Xiao Ba nodded, then, as if he had thought of something, continued, "This year is the year when the World Conference is held only once every four years, right?"
Upon hearing this, Jinbe's expression immediately changed.
"Could it be... that Hody is targeting Ryugu Castle because of this, and that's why he's planning to attack at this time?" Jinbe said with a grim expression. "He wants to stop all of this?"
If you think about it carefully, His Majesty King Neptune and his entourage must have collected quite a few signatures by now.
If this suggestion is raised at the World Conference, the Murlocs can finally live in the real sunlight.
But someone like Hody obviously doesn't want to see that, so...
"It's not just about stopping him," Hachi said, shaking his head. "What he wants to do is become the new king of Fishman Island!"
If Hody succeeds, then this guy might use this opportunity to kill the human king.
When that time comes, Fishman Island will definitely not be blessed with light!
The others were stunned for a moment after hearing Xiao Ba's words.
If that's the case, then the meaning is completely different.
"A rebellion?" west Yan frowned.
They've really encountered something extraordinary this time.
Well... this isn't the first time the Straw Hat Pirates have encountered something like this, is it?
Thinking of this, west Yan fell into deep thought.
At that moment, west Yan received several more messages from his shadow clone.
After carefully reviewing all these memories, west Yan said, "It seems the situation on this island is more serious than I imagined."
"What did you see this time?"
"The new Fishman Pirates have more members than we imagined," west Yan said, glancing at the group. "Besides the original Fishman race, there are also quite a few humans they've captured."
Although the exact number wasn't clear, the massive figures must have numbered at least tens of thousands.
"I see, I understand now," Sanji said. "It seems that all the pirates who came to this island before were captured by these guys and used as fighting force."
"That's quite a subtle way of putting it," west Yan shook his head and said, "In reality, those people were just Hody's slaves."
"At least that's what the merfolk said."
The merfolk made no attempt to conceal this matter, so his clone easily obtained this information.
"Slave, huh..."
Upon hearing west Yan's words, Nami immediately showed a look of disgust and said, "What a bunch of nasty guys."
They actually use humans as slaves... How are they any different from those despicable Celestial Dragons?
Jinbe's expression was also unpleasant, after all, what Hody had done was indeed a bit too much.
"By the way, Xiyan, have you found the culprit who kidnapped the mermaid?" Luffy asked.
west Yan looked at Luffy with some surprise upon hearing this. How could this guy still remember this?
Then, west Yan said, "I didn't find it. My clone didn't find the real culprit who kidnapped the mermaid."
"However... I found this year's Supernova, Caribou's pirate ship."
This group is considered a prime suspect by west Yan.
Kemi's eyes lit up immediately after hearing west Yan's words.
"Did you find the kidnapped mermaid on that ship?" Cammy asked quickly.
No, not at all.
west Yan shook his head and said, "I searched the ship, but I didn't find any trace of mermaids on board."
"However... to prevent them from hiding the mermaids elsewhere, I used my Sharingan to control the people on that ship, intending to get some information out of them."
"But unfortunately... they have no idea that the mermaids have been kidnapped, and they also don't know where their captain, Caribou, is."
"Doesn't that mean this has nothing to do with them?" Chopper said.
"No, that's not accurate."
Sanji shook his head and said, "At least Xiyan hasn't found their captain, so that doesn't mean they aren't suspects."
That guy named Caribou is, after all, a supernova of this generation, so he has the ability to capture the mermaid on his own.
"Even you can't find this guy?" Nami asked Xiyan in surprise.
She knew how capable west Yan was at gathering intelligence, yet west Yan still couldn't find that guy?
"Yes, we didn't find it." west Yan nodded and said, "So I suspect that guy might be a special Devil Fruit user."
"Of course, it's also possible that this guy found a place to hide after entering Fishman Island."
"But as long as we don't find this guy named Caribou, we can't rule out their suspicion, so..."
"so?"
Seeing the flickering light in west Yan's eyes, Chopper exclaimed in surprise, "You killed them all?"
"Do I look like some kind of weird serial killer?" west Yan rolled his eyes at Chopper and said.
Honestly, I actually think about him that much.
"So what did you do?"
"I only damaged their pirate ship; it will take a few days to repair it," west Yan said. "That way, they won't be able to leave Fishman Island for the time being, and we'll have time to deal with other things."
As for the pirates on the pirate ship?
west Yan ignored them and let them fend for themselves.
"You're really decisive," Sanji remarked.
They actually made a move right away... Well done!
"They're suspects, so naturally I have to take action," west Yan said with a shrug.
He couldn't just do nothing when he knew the other party was a suspect; that wasn't in his nature. So he decisively took action and destroyed the other party's ship.
As for whether the other party will cause him trouble afterward...
Stop joking, okay?!
We're all pirates, and the fact that he didn't kill anyone outright shows he's already quite good-natured.
If the other party really dares to cause him trouble because of this, he wouldn't mind sending them down.
"That's indeed a better approach," Jinbe nodded and said, "After I've dealt with Hody's matter..."
Go find that guy named Carib.
"If he really did this, I will demand that His Majesty King Neptune clear your name."
west Yan and Luffy are his friends, so... he doesn't want them to be wrongly accused for no reason.
As for whether or not to let the Straw Hat Pirates go with him to take down the New Fishman Pirates?
Although they are friends, the Straw Hat Pirates have no obligation to help him. Besides, he doesn't want the other person to get involved in such a strange incident, so Jinbe doesn't plan to ask.
Just then, a strange, giant Den Den Mushi emerged from the nearby forest and slowly moved towards west Yan and his group.
"What a huge Den Den Mushi!" Mary exclaimed in surprise. "What is that?"
"This is a video Den Den Mushi."
Dan first offered an explanation, then looked puzzled and asked, "Why are there video Den Den Mushi here?"
Could it be that someone is using a video den Den Mushi to do a live stream, so the video den Den Mushi automatically searches for people nearby?
Thinking about this, Dan fell into deep thought.
"This is what they call a video Den Den Mushi," Perona said, curiously examining the video Den Den Mushi on the screen. "This is the first time I've ever seen one like this."
"The Battle of Marineford was broadcast through this device," west Yan said.
This is also why Uncle Rayleigh and his crew were able to see the live broadcast in the Sabaody Archipelago.
"Then why did it come looking for us?"
"I don't know..."
west Yan shook his head and said, "Perhaps someone wants us to see something."
After saying that, Xi Yan withdrew his hand, glanced at Xiao Ba, and said, "Alright, your injuries are basically fine, but you're still a bit weak due to excessive blood loss."
"So take good care of your injury during this time."
After checking his own condition, Hachi looked up at Xiyan and said, "I...I want to fight alongside Jinbe."
Looking into Xiao Ba's extremely serious eyes, west Yan paused for a moment, then turned his head and said, "If you're not afraid of death, then do as you please."
If Hachi really wants to participate in the battle, he won't forcibly stop him, after all... it's Hachi's will.
"Okay, then I..."
"Hachi, you should just stay here and recover from your injuries," Jinbe said. "Leave the fighting to me."
Ultimately, Xiao Ba's strength is still too weak, and coupled with his recent recovery... he is not suitable to participate in this battle.
Let him handle the Fishman Island matter.
"Boss Jinbe, it's me..."
"Don't you even listen to me anymore?" Jinbe glared at him.
Xiao Ba fell silent upon hearing this, and then he didn't say anything more, but instead closed his eyes and sighed silently.
Ultimately, his strength is still too weak.
"Captain Hody, we've truly won a resounding victory this time!" a merman exclaimed excitedly, looking at Hody. "Not only did we capture Neptune, but we also found so many traitors' signatures!!"
"With these things, you can achieve your dreams!"
Kill King Neptune, wipe out all the merfolk who are on good terms with humans, and establish a merfolk kingdom that is completely hostile to humans!
This is their Captain Hody's dream!
"Shrimp hahahaha"
Upon hearing his subordinate's compliment, Hody immediately grinned widely.
He then said, "Speaking of which, we should thank those human pirates. Otherwise, we really wouldn't have been able to capture this great knight of the sea so easily."
After saying that, Hody turned to look at Neptune, who was trapped, and his eyes immediately showed a lot of mockery.
"Neptune, you probably never imagined you'd be captured by humans," Hody said mockingly, looking at Neptune. "Choosing to befriend humans, only to be captured in the end... What a mockery!"
"Shrimp hahahaha"
Ignoring Hody's attitude, Neptune said anxiously, "You can kill me if you want, but can you please release my children and those innocent civilians?"
"They are all..."
"Neptune!"
Hody interrupted Neptune coldly, saying, "Aren't you being a little too naive?"
"I said I would kill all the fish-men who are on friendly terms with humans!"
"This naturally includes them!"
Tell him to release those guys?
How is that possible!
In his new merman kingdom, there will be no traitors who have any intention of turning their backs on humanity!
Seeing Hody's expression gradually turn crazed, Neptune fell silent, eventually closing his eyes slowly. He didn't say anything more, and could only pray that Shark Star and the others could defeat these guys together with Jinbe.
"Hmph, how boring."
Hody snorted, then turned to his subordinates and asked, "How are the preparations for the live stream going?"
"It's all set up and ready to go live anytime."
Hody nodded in satisfaction, then continued, "Were those three humans locked up?"
"Yes, it's already locked up," the underling nodded obediently.
Hody pondered for a moment upon hearing this, then asked, "Where is that swordsman's sword?"
This person is very strong; if he had weapons, the cage might not be able to hold him.
"Don't worry," the younger brother grinned, "it's already been taken."
"very good."
Hody smashed the table in front of him, sneering, "Then let's put on a grand show!"
"Hahaha!"
"profound!!!"
