When the Sun Pirates' ship sailed into Fish-Man Island, it still caused a lot of commotion.
Although they have "abandoned" Fish-Man Island recently, after all, they have always been the patron saint of Fish-Man Island without any regrets, and people still remember their good deeds.
The crew members of the Sun Pirates are still famous here, especially "Aquaman" Jinbe and Aladdin.
Mermaids and fishmen passing by cheered, applauded, and whistled to welcome them back.
The crew of the Sun Pirates waved.
However, at the entrance to Fish-Man Island, they still encountered something embarrassing.
"Is there a fee to enter the island? When we left, there was obviously no such rule!"
Aladdin pointed at the mermaid guard's chest and argued with reason.
Of course the mermaid guard recognized Aladdin, and even more so the big man standing behind him - "Seaman" Jinbei, but the mermaid guard could still only raise his hands in embarrassment and laugh sarcastically.
"I'm really sorry. I didn't mean to deliberately embarrass Boss Jinbei and Mr. Aladdin, but this is the new rule of Fish-Man Island. If I disobey it, I will be severely punished..."
Aladdin wanted to say more, but Jinbe pulled his shoulder from behind.
"Aladdin, why did you catch him as a little guard and not let him go? It's not like he can make the decision on these rules. Don't make it difficult for him... Besides, since it is a new rule, we just have to abide by it."
Aladdin and Jinbe looked at each other, frowned, and nodded.
"Okay, I asked my men to pawn the golden crutches they snatched from the human ships a few days ago to get some cash to pay for it."
It's not that the Sun Pirates don't have money, it's just that most of it is treasure and it's more troublesome to cash it out.
Aladdin turned to order his crew.
Jinbei put his hands in his long and wide sleeves, stretched his arms into a line, and stood quietly, observing the bustling entrance.
"Boss Jinbei!"
Suddenly, a shout came from behind.
Jinbe turned around and recognized the other person as General Kaiba beside Neptune. He pressed the hilt of his sword and hurried over.
"General Kaiba, long time no see."
"Long time no see! After 'The War on the Top', we completely lost news from you, and we were extremely anxious. Today we finally saw you, and our hearts fell to the ground."
"Hahaha... I'm sorry for making you worry. I should find someone to report to you."
"It's okay, it's okay. We all understand Boss Jinbei's situation at that time."
Jinbei was silent for a while, then shook his head and sighed.
"Sigh... I feel very guilty about my decision to go to the Navy Headquarters alone. This put Fish-Man Island in an extremely difficult situation."
"Boss Jinbei's words are serious. No one could have expected that this would be the case. You value love and justice, and are compassionate and compassionate. It is indeed human nature to want to prevent that catastrophe."
"Alas...it's a pity that 'Whitebeard' dad still died in the battle..."
"Well, we are quite sad about the passing of 'Whitebeard'... Boss Jinbei, let's not talk about this for now. I will take you to Ryugu Castle. His Majesty the King definitely wants to see you."
Jinbei waved his hand.
"I won't go to Dragon Palace City first... I have heard that Captain Davy Jones protected the precarious Fish-Man Island during this period. I want to thank him in person. Where is he?"
General Kaiba was stunned for a moment, but he still told the truth.
"On weekdays, he is mostly in the 'Waterless Land' and 'City of Fangs' outside of Fish-Man Island, but today he came to Fish-Man Island, on the other side of the Forest of the Sea."
"Umi no Mori? Then I'll go there. Haha, General Kaiba, there's no need to send him off. I know the way to Umi no Mori."
"I'll walk with you for a while."
Jinbe went to Aladdin first and explained his whereabouts, and then walked down the street with General Kaiba.
"General Kaiba, there have been so many changes in Fish-Man Island recently."
"Yes, most of them are the conditions proposed by Captain Davy Jones. We have been trying to implement them recently. It is estimated that it will take about half a year to run in."
Jinbei glanced sideways at the people passing by on the street.
"There seem to be fewer humans on the streets than before."
General Kaiba nodded, confirming Jinbe's thoughts.
"On the one hand, there is the issue of entrance fees, and on the other hand, a large number of human traffickers were hanged on Fishman Street. They accused us of harming their interests by hanging innocent humans."
"Haha. It has indeed harmed their interests. If they are all innocent, let's talk about it differently."
Jinbei sneered. He still has a very deep understanding of human beings' hypocrisy and arrogance.
"It doesn't matter if he is hanged. If we can do what we couldn't do before, now we can let Captain Fisher Tiger rest in peace."
The sturdy blue-skinned fishman thought for a while and then added a few words.
"What's more, the entrance fee is not expensive and is not comparable to the cost of traveling from the 'Red Continent'. They want a lower cost and safer route, and they will think it through after all."
"So, Boss Jinbei approves of Captain Davy Jones's move?"
"As long as the measures are beneficial to Fish-Man Island, I agree... Well, the Forest of the Sea is coming soon, so there is no need to send any more."
"Okay, after you meet Captain Davy Jones, remember to come to Dragon Palace City. His Majesty the King will definitely want to meet you."
Jinbei agreed, and General Kaiba stood there, watching him leave.
"Hai Xia" walked through the streets and alleys, and soon entered the forest of the sea. Unexpectedly, he discovered that the originally deserted ship cemetery was now filled with many people.
Some of the strong mermaids and fishmen were carrying wooden boards, some were holding hammers and nails, and some were holding paints, and they were busy working around a huge keel.
Jinbei saw Shipbuilder Dan, the mermaid not far away directing everyone, and then looked down at the unfolded drawings from time to time.
They are building ships, and there are more than one, and their owner is probably Captain Davy Jones... Jinbei thought to himself.
He suddenly frowned.
With his domineering knowledge and knowledge, he managed to reach this far before catching the aura of Captain Davy Jones. This shows that this "King of Hell" has even mastered the method of concealing his aura.
Finally, Jinbei found Captain Davy Jones, whom he had met in the "War on the Top", among a row of tall undersea trees and beautiful corals.
The captain, wearing a three-cornered hat and a black robe, was standing in front of the gravesite of Princess Otohime and her two children, with his back turned to him.
Jinbe knew very well that Davy Jones must have noticed his approach, but he still dared to show his back to him. This was a kind of absolute confidence, which could also be said to be arrogance.
Soon, Davy Jones's steady voice came.
"You must be 'Sea Hero' Jinbe, right? In 'War on Top', I remembered your aura."
Jinbei shuddered slightly, he could use the color of sight to remember the aura of the people he met. Davy Jones had refined it to an extremely high level in terms of sensing the enemy's situation.
"Captain Davy Jones, I would like to express my sincere gratitude for your assistance in the 'War on Top' and for your protection of Fish-Man Island."
Davy Jones turned around slowly. His wriggling tentacles looked terrifying to outsiders, but to Jinbe, who was a fishman, they were ordinary.
Among mermaids and fishmen, there are even more crooked ones.
What Jinbei was even more wary of was the condensed aura on Davy Jones, which was as unpredictable as the ocean.
"Jinbei, can you drink?"
Davy Jones' sudden question made Jinbei startled.
"I can drink quite well..."
"Then come and pour me a drink."
He walked towards the depths of the Forest of the Sea, and Jinbei followed without hesitation.
Jinbe was not worried about an ambush. On the one hand, he did not perceive danger due to his knowledge, and on the other hand, Davy Jones had no need to do such a thing.
Jinbei had vaguely felt the gap in strength between them...
You must know that this great pirate only rose to power eight or nine months ago, and his strength today has reached this point. It is really hard to imagine what he will become in another one or two years.
Soon, they came to an open space with a stone table in the middle and stone benches on both sides of the stone table.
Davy Jones sat down on one of the stone benches and motioned for Jinbei to sit down as well.
Not long after the two sat across from each other, a mermaid swam over, holding a wine flask and a wine glass on the tray.
Jinbei took a look at the mermaid and remembered that she was one of the clerks at Mrs. Charlie's mermaid cafe... Unexpectedly, Mrs. Charlie also worked for Davy Jones.
He took the initiative to take the wine bottle and wine glass, and then the mermaid waitress stepped back.
The mermaid waitress glanced at Davy Jones cautiously, and saw that the "King of Hell" had no other signal, and then slowly left.
Jinbe obeyed and poured wine for Davy Jones, and the aroma of wine overflowed for a while.
"Jinbei, tell me some new things at sea. There haven't been many humans coming recently, so some information may have been missed."
"Haixia" was stunned and thought for a while.
"Captain Davy Jones, I don't know if this is new news to you. A few days ago, Morgans published a very controversial photo in the newspaper, which led to yesterday's big event."
Davy Jones picked up the wine glass and drank it in one gulp without interrupting.
Jinbei poured another drink for him, then took out a roll of newspaper from his arms and spread it out on the stone table.
The photo on the front page of this newspaper was quite shocking.
On the left side of the newspaper photo is Davy Jones.
In the photo, Davy Jones stands on the bow of the ship, looking disdainfully down to the right side of the photo.
There was another ship there, and kneeling on the side of the ship was a young navy man crying bitterly, seemingly begging Davy Jones for mercy.
This scene was exactly what was captured before they left Crescent Bay, when Kerby asked Davy Jones for help.
The title is "Why the Navy Headquarters suffered a disastrous defeat in the War on the Top".
No third update, hehehe
