Familiar faces, familiar smiles, familiar voices.
At this moment, Jinbei was stunned by the sudden visitor, his eyes and face filled with incredible and huge surprise.
"Brother Tiger!?"
"You are still alive!!"
Jinbe shouted in shock and excitement.
This acquaintance in Malinfando is undoubtedly the fishman Fisher Tiger. He followed Charles beside him and became a vice-admiral as a matter of course.
Among the latest batch of people to become Navy, Fisher Tiger is undoubtedly the most low-key, which is completely contrary to the huge reputation he once made famous.
But this is not surprising. Following Xia Le, he has long known how to hide himself and achieve his dreams and goals.
"Jinbei!"
Fisher Tiger exclaimed with emotion.
He stepped outside the prison where Shi Jinping was and looked inside through the iron fence.
"Great, you're still alive, that's great!"
Jinbei's eyes turned red with excitement, and tears welled up in his eyes.
No one in the Sun Pirates back then disrespected Fisher Tiger. In a way, Tiger, who has made a name for himself in the world, is even more famous on Fish-Man Island than King Neptune of the Dragon Palace.
However, the other party had an accident after that day and disappeared from sight.
"I have always been alive. That day after I was sent to Impel Down City, I met General Xia Le."
"He is also the man I admire most in my life and want to follow him for the rest of my life!"
Fisher Tiger sighed softly.
"Did General Xia Le save you?"
Jinbei said in a daze, and then he also let out a long sigh.
"After you disappeared, big brother, Fish-Man Island has been in chaos for a long time, and humans often attack our compatriots."
"In the end, under all odds, Whitebeard took action. It was he who frightened countless ambitious pirates who were ready to take action."
"After that, Fish-Man Island gained a moment of peace."
"Whitebeard, he is the benefactor of Fish-Man Island!"
Fisher Tiger listened quietly until the other party finished speaking, then nodded with a smile: "I am also very grateful to the Whitebeard Pirates for their help to Fish-Man Island!"
"but."
At this point, he shook his head and sighed.
"Unfortunately, he was unable to bring true peace and eternal tranquility to Fish-Man Island."
"Only General Xia Le can do this."
Jinbei was stunned. Through the cold fence, he saw the old big brother in front of him, with determination on his face and faith in his eyes.
"If anyone in this world can truly change the world and allow all races to coexist peacefully, gain their own rights, and live equally."
"Then, only he can do it!"
Fisher Tiger said with emotion.
"But, Brother Tiger, he is going to take action against Whitebeard!"
Jinbei said in a daze.
"Jinbei!"
"Admiral Xia Le represents the navy, while Whitebeard represents the pirates!"
"In the eyes of countless civilians or various ethnic groups living in the world, Whitebeard is probably the one who destroys the tranquility and peace of the world!"
"Is it wrong for the navy to attack pirates?"
Fisher Tiger said in a deep voice.
One sentence made Jinbei and Ace next door look stunned, and then they became ugly. That's true, but it does make it a little hard for them to accept.
"But the Navy."
Jinbei gritted his teeth, he had to refute his elder brother.
"I know what you want to say!"
However, Tiger took the initiative to interrupt him, with a smile on his face.
"You want to say that the Navy is just an accomplice of the World Government, and it is also doing countless dark, corrupt, and oppressive things to civilians, right?"
Jinbei nodded.
"But there's another thing you might want to find out!"
Speaking of this, Fisher Tiger's eyes suddenly became sharp.
"That is, the navy led by General Xia Le is probably a completely different concept from the navy you are familiar with!"
"They will implement true equality and justice and safeguard the interests and safety of the majority of the bottom class in the world!"
"And the future of the navy belongs to General Xia Le!"
With a long sigh, Tiger looked at the two people separated by a column with a smile.
"Brother, you really trust him completely!"
Jinbei sighed.
"He has a reason for me to trust him, Jinbe!"
"Okay, let's not talk about this anymore. We haven't seen each other for many years, and we can finally have a good chat today!"
Tiger said with a smile.
"Hahahaha, yes, I just didn't expect that the meeting between me and my eldest brother would be like this."
"Jinbei is ashamed!"
Jinbei sighed.
"Don't worry, when I met General Xia Le again, we were also advancing into the city."
"My situation at that time was no different from yours!"
Tiger laughed.
This sentence made Jinbei and Ace curious, and they both looked at him.
"Are you curious?"
"Then let me tell you slowly."
"When you get to know General Xia Le, you will also understand why I always firmly believe that he must be the one who can change this world!"
Fisher Tiger said with a laugh.
The two looked at each other and sat there in silence, listening.
"The story will start from that day when we push into the city and tell the stories about the monsters that were spread."
——
Time passes day by day, and the atmosphere in the Marine Headquarters Marinefando becomes more solemn almost every day.
The sky was obviously clear, but it seemed to be covered by a layer of dense clouds, making everyone feel heavy breathing.
On the training ground.
"The atmosphere is even weirder."
"Something bad must have happened!"
"That man has not appeared for more than ten days."
The green-haired Zoro's eyes flickered, and he was keenly aware of the different atmosphere that filled the air these days.
Thinking in his mind, his eyes looked at the tall figure standing there silently.
"And this guy, since he came back last time, his aura has become even more distant from strangers, and he seems more withdrawn."
Finally, he couldn't bear it any longer and asked aloud.
"Hey, Bear, what's going to happen?"
"Whether it's you or that Moria, since you participated in some Wu Hai meeting, your state is obviously not right!"
Hearing this, Xiong slowly raised his head and looked forward, standing in the sunset, holding a long knife and waving it again and again, sweating like raindrops at Moonlight Moria.
After the meeting, the other party obviously worked harder.
"And the navy here, all of them look solemn, as if a war is coming. What's going on?"
Zoro said loudly.
He was suffocated to death.
I have to say that this is indeed a good place to practice and become stronger. Under Kuina's care, there is no restriction on freedom, and there are continuous actual battles.
The speed of understanding that sword technique has been inexplicably accelerated in recent days. It is conceivable that if a period of time passes, I may be able to truly master this sword move called Divine Avoidance.
But the only thing is that in recent days, everyone has shown a sense of urgency, as if war is coming and the world is about to end.
Whether it's Rob Lucci, Kerby, Belumeb and others, they are all practicing crazily, with a completely life-threatening posture.
"War is indeed coming!"
Xiong said slowly, his voice was deep.
"What?"
"Are you kidding me? This is Malinfando, the navy is most proud of and claims to be the most heavily defended and number one fortress in the world."
"What enemy can attack here?"
Zoro's pupils shrank and he asked loudly in shock.
"The Navy Headquarters recently captured Fire Fist Ace, the captain of the second division of the Whitebeard Pirates, and announced to the world that he will be publicly executed in Marine Fando in the near future in front of the whole world!"
Xiong said slowly.
The information revealed made Zoro's whole body shake, and a look of disbelief appeared on his face.
"Fire Fist Ace? Then, isn't he Luffy's brother?"
he said in surprise.
"I asked your companion Nami, Straw Hat Luffy does have an older brother named Ace!"
The bear nodded.
"Damn it, Luffy's brother is going to be executed?!"
Zoro still couldn't believe it.
How do you feel that something big happened in the world out of nowhere?
"But what does Fire Fist Ace's execution have to do with the war?"
Xiong sighed softly, fully realizing that the junior he admired didn't pay any attention to outside information.
You know, this matter has been circulating around the world for a long time.
The other party actually looked like he knew nothing about it, which was rare in the world.
"Fire Fist Ace is the captain of the second division of the Whitebeard Pirates."
"The navy's execution of him will inevitably cause a huge reaction from the Whitebeard Pirates and the rest."
"Next, there will be an unprecedented battle in Marinefando!"
Xiong said in a deep voice.
"Unprecedented war!!!"
Zoro looked shocked, sweat dripping down his face.
"Ace was executed, but what about Luffy?"
"If he hears the news, he will definitely appear here!"
Then, he suddenly thought again, and his eyes were fixed on the tall man in front of him.
"You slapped me here in the first place."
"What about Luffy? Where is he?"
But the bear was silent for a long time, then sighed and shook his head.
"I have no idea."
"you do not know?!"
Zoro's eyes widened.
"I can only control the general direction and send them to places where they can improve their strength based on their respective characteristics."
"But where exactly it went, I can't be sure."
"and!"
Having said this, Xiong's eyes showed a hint of helplessness.
"It was not my wish for you to be photographed at the Navy Headquarters."
Zoro's pupils shrank again and he stared at the other person: "What did you say?"
"Although I don't know how he did it, there is no doubt that you fell into Malinfando due to the influence of General Xia Le."
"In other words, he deliberately left you here!"
The bear spoke out.
Zoro was sluggish and his whole body was numb.
