One Piece: Starting with the enslavement of Wano Country!

Seeing the other four stars turn their gazes towards him, Saint Pitt explained, "These current 'Seven Warlords of the Sea' have all fought against the 'Four Emperors,' so Jinbe naturally needs to be observed in their performance against them."

Nasujuro Sei seconded, "If he wins, he'll be a new 'Four Emperors.' If he dies, he dies. If he loses, as long as it's still respectable, we'll send him an invitation."

Saint Satan rubbed his chin thoughtfully. "What if he doesn't challenge the 'Four Emperors'?"

Nasujiro scoffed, "He doesn't even dare to challenge anyone; his ambition and strength are just so-so."

"Then let's send CP0 to test his strength. If he's not bad, we can reluctantly recruit him, since there are only three 'Seven Warlords of the Sea' right now."

The other four stars nodded.

......

Raylo's daily routine consists of fighting with Kaido, teaching Bullet a lesson for challenging him, and training the kids.

Not only their own, but also Yamato from the Kaido family, and Loki, the giant prince.

That day, Lei Luo was holding his newborn daughter, Lei Yin, in his arms while talking on the phone with Jin Hei.

On the table, the Den Den Mushi, masquerading as Jinbe, reported to Rayleigh, "First mate, I'm heading to Beehive Island to challenge 'Pending Yonko' Wang Zhi."

Lei Luo nodded slightly, looking tenderly at his daughter in his arms, and said, "Very well, Wang Zhi's strength is not to be underestimated. If you can defeat him, you will become the new 'Four Emperors'."

It's not in the "pending" category yet.

On the other end of the phone, Jinbe clenched his fists and said firmly, "Don't worry, First Mate, I will do my best."

Lei Luo smiled and didn't say anything more.

The Den Den Mushi ended, and Railo lifted his daughter above his head with both hands, chuckling, "Raiyin, Raiyin, do you think Jinbe can beat Wang Zhi?"

The little guy kept giggling.

"Who knows?" Lei Luo muttered to himself.

He has always been a believer in miracles.

Before I transmigrated to my school days, I spent money recklessly at the beginning of the month and only had ten yuan left at the end of the month, while there were still several days before the next month's government allocation.

Most people might think about how to save ten yuan and get through these few days, but he chose to take the ten yuan to buy a scratch-off lottery ticket, believing that a miracle would happen!

And then a miracle really happened... he didn't starve to death!

So, maybe Jinbe really can defeat Wang Zhi?

Chapter 244 If we're going to fight, let's fight together

Unable to sleep no matter what, Jinbe left the cabin, stood by the railing, and gazed out at the sea.

After a while, a mermaid came to Jinbe's side and placed his hands on the railing.

Jinbe tilted his head slightly to look at the newcomer and asked with a smile, "Aladdin, it's so late, why aren't you asleep yet?"

Aladdin retorted, "You weren't asleep either, were you?"

The two looked at each other and smiled.

Aladdin went back to the cabin, and when he returned, he had two more bottles of wine in his hands.

After casually tossing one of the bottles to Jinbe, Aladdin held up the remaining bottle and asked, "Want some?"

Jinbe smiled and nodded.

The two sat casually cross-legged on the deck.

After the two men briefly clinked their bottles together, Aladdin asked, "What's wrong, Jinbe? Are you worried you're no match for Wang Zhi?"

Jinbe took a sip of his drink and replied, "I do have that concern."

Aladdin took a sip and laughed, "Yes, there is? Then what are you worried about?"

“You guys.” Jinbe looked at Aladdin with a serious expression.

Aladdin was taken aback, then feigned anger and said, "Hey, Jinbe, what do you mean?!"

Jinbe did not answer, but looked up at the moon hanging in the sky.

Wang Zhi will be the strongest and most formidable opponent he has encountered since he set sail, and he may even lose his life because of it.

No matter what, Wang Zhi was still the "Emperor of the Sea," even if that title was only pending.

He was not afraid of death.

He had long been prepared to die at any moment.

But what will happen to his brothers if he dies?

Back then, Moria lost all his comrades in the battle against Wang Zhi.

Seeing that Jinbe seemed to be deep in thought, Aladdin did not disturb him and continued drinking his wine.

After a moment, Jinbe sighed and said, "Aladdin, I'll go to Beehive Island myself."

Aladdin was taken aback, then angrily retorted, "Jinbe, you bastard, do you even know what you're talking about?"

"You mean... our entire Fishman Pirates crew will hide, leaving you to challenge the Wang Zhi Pirates alone on Beehive Island, is that right?"

Jinbe seemed oblivious to the anger in Aladdin's words and nodded: "Yes."

Aladdin roared, "Jinbe!"

Fearing he would wake the other fishmen, Shenping quickly whispered, "Keep your voice down, Aladdin."

Aladdin snorted unhappily.

Jinbe explained with a wry smile, "Aladdin, Wang Zhi is no pushover. We have to prepare for the worst."

"You know what happened to Gecko Moria back then. We have to leave some seeds for the Fishman Pirates."

Aladdin was furious and wanted to smash the bottle in his hand, but he was afraid of waking the sleeping fishman. His eyes widened in anger, but he lowered his voice and growled, "Jinbe, what do you take us for?"

"We're brothers who've been through thick and thin together. How can I let you challenge Wang Zhi alone? What will the world think of my Fishman Pirates? What will they think of my Fishman race? What will they think of Fishman Island?!"

"Gecko Moria failed because his crew was incompetent, but... Jinbe, trust us, we will absolutely not hold you back!"

"But......"

Just as Jinbe was about to say something more, Aladdin rudely interrupted him: "Stop spouting this nonsense that I don't want to hear. If we're going to fight, we'll fight together; if not, we'll go back to Fishman Island together!"

"What's the point of you going alone?"

"If you win, will our Fishman Pirates share in your glory? If you die, will we just live on shamelessly and cowardly?"

Jinbe looked at the excited Aladdin and felt a little helpless. He should have known that he couldn't persuade his brother.

After a moment of silence, Jinbe slowly said, "I'm sorry, I didn't think it through. Let's go to Beehive Island together and fight Wang Zhi to the death!"

Aladdin grinned, clinking his bottle against Jinbe's: "That's more like it, Jinbe! We're a pirate crew, so we should stick together when something happens!"

"Oh, got it."

The two tilted their heads back and drank the wine in one gulp. The moonlight shone on them, illuminating their resolute figures.

......

The Fishman Pirates' ship slowly approached the shore.

The people on the island discovered it very quickly.

Since becoming the "Emperor of the Sea," he has been constantly challenged by pirates.

Wang Zhi naturally couldn't possibly personally come out and deal with every random challenger.

It's not only a waste of time, but also beneath you.

What's the point of keeping so many crew members?

The crew members would immediately identify the pirate crew by its flag, and then judge whether they could handle the situation and whether they needed to report to Captain Wang Zhi based on the bounty on the wanted poster.

Bounty notices are relatively authoritative, and the amount of the bounty can usually be used to directly determine who is stronger and who is weaker.

This is true in most cases, but not in absolutes.

Some pirates, though they haven't made a name for themselves yet, are terrifyingly strong.

However, the Fishman Pirates have already made a name for themselves, so this situation does not exist for them.

"The Fishman Pirates?!"

"Ah, the captain is Jinbe, with a bounty of 1.1 billion Berries. He's not someone we can handle. Quickly inform the captain!"

One of the officers immediately called Wang Zhi for help, while the rest of the pirates, armed with weapons, stood ready for battle.

"Captain, the Fishman Pirates..."

"alright, I got it."

The situation was urgent, so there was no need for further words; the call was ended in a few sentences.

Immediately, the officer put away the Den Den Mushi, pushed aside the pirate in front of him, walked forward, looked at Jinbe at the bow of the ship, and said:

"Fishman Pirates, do you know where you are? Are you trying to challenge the authority of Lord Wang Zhi?"

Jinbe glanced coldly at the pirates from Beehive Island and said indifferently, "Aladdin, they're yours to handle."

This... is his reply.

"Ah, got it." Aladdin replied, then bent his fishtail, leaped onto land, and shouted, "Fishman Pirates, follow me!"

"Defeat them!"

......

The fishmen followed closely behind Aladdin, leaping onto land one by one, weapons in hand, shouting as they charged toward the pirates of Beehive Island.

The blatant disregard caused the face of Wang Zhi's subordinate to darken instantly. He snorted coldly, "Since you're courting death, then I'll grant your wish!"

"Charge! Kill all these murlocs!"

The pirates of Beehive Island were also seasoned veterans and were not afraid. Holding their weapons, they shouted to fight.

"You mere merman, don't be so presumptuous!"

......

Chapter 245 Sorry, I'm too weak

The battle broke out instantly.

The pirates from the Hive and the Fishman pirates immediately clashed, their shouts of battle deafening.

Although Wang Zhi's pirate crew were all seasoned veterans and incredibly brave, the Fishman Pirates did not fall into a disadvantageous position.

They had indeed only been at sea for a year, but the fish-men were born with ten times the arm strength of humans.

In addition, Fishman Island has a unique martial art called Fishman Karate.

It's worth noting that even the Revolutionary Army established by Dragon in the original work used Fish-Man Karate to train its soldiers, which shows just how high the bar is for this martial art.

The fish-men, with their immense strength and Fish-Man Karate, clashed fiercely with the pirates from Beehive Island.

Aladdin, carrying a harpoon on his back and with water droplets hanging from his palms, hurled it heavily at the pirates in front of him.

The tiny droplets of water possessed the power of cannons, blasting the pirates away one after another.

Wang Zhi's cadre's eyes narrowed, and carrying his weapon, he strode forward and slammed it heavily into Aladdin's head.

They are pirates; as long as they can defeat their opponents, they don't care about being despicable, especially since others have come to their doorstep.

Aladdin was able to become Lingling's son-in-law, which means he must have some skills.

Aladdin swiftly drew the harpoon from his back, turned around quickly, and held the harpoon horizontally behind him to defend himself.

The two weapons clashed violently, sparks flying everywhere.

Wang Zhi's subordinate grinned maliciously and said, "Aladdin, the vice-captain of the Fishman Pirates, is quite strong."

Aladdin curled his lips into a smirk and said mockingly, "He's not weak, he's even stronger than you."

Having said that, Aladdin used the strength of his fishman arms to forcefully knock the weapon out of the officer's hand.

He then raised the harpoon and stabbed it fiercely at the cadre.

The cadre wasn't one to be trifled with either; he dodged to the side and simultaneously threw a punch at Aladdin's stomach...
