One Piece: The World King Who Emerged from the White Town

Because he was worried about his wife and daughter, Neptune didn't bother to find out the details and went straight back with them.

Jinbe ordered his soldiers to arrest those who needed to be arrested and disperse those who needed to be dispersed.

Of course, the person who saved Queen Otohime should also be rewarded, and he had considered all of that.

But when he looked at the person who had saved Queen Otohime at the crucial moment, he was suddenly stunned!

"Who are you……!"

Because of his newfound fame, Abel had disguised himself beforehand using the "Magician's Deceptive Illusion".

He also wanted to find out what happened to the Sun Pirates after he left, so he used the same disguise he had before.

Even his decision not to leave after rescuing Queen Otohime was intentional.

Seeing that Jinbe recognized him, Abel replied, "I remember you. You were standing behind Fisher Tiger when we were escorting that little girl back to her hometown."

Once this is said, there can be no mistake!

Jinbe immediately stepped forward excitedly, "That's right, it was me. I have to thank you for your help back then, otherwise we probably wouldn't have been able to escape."

"Oh right, I forgot to introduce myself. My name is Jinbe. We parted in such a hurry that I didn't even know your name?"

Abel didn't actually need to maintain another persona anymore, so he simply said, "Abel, that's what everyone around me calls me."

Although Jinbe felt the name sounded familiar, there were actually many people with the same name on the high seas, so he didn't connect the two.

Instead, he warmly and sincerely invited Abel to come to the Dragon Palace with him for a chat.

"Alright, I also want to know what happened after I left, and how Tiger was captured by the Navy."

Jinbe's expression stiffened, then he sighed, "It's a bit embarrassing to talk about, but Brother Abel is a benefactor of our Sun Pirates, so naturally we won't hide it from you."

"However, this is a long story. Let's go back first. I'll have someone prepare some local delicacies and drinks so we can eat and chat."

It's clear that Jinbe really wanted to treat Abel well after recognizing his benefactor.

He is an extremely loyal and grateful fellow.

Simply put, it means reliable and trustworthy.

Even Jinbe earned his reputation with the title of "Knight of the Sea".

The fact that Jinbe is described as a chivalrous person gives you an idea of ​​what kind of personality he has.

So Abel readily agreed.

When Jinbe led Abel, Robin, and Baby-5 to the Ryugu Palace, the crowd of onlookers was dispersed.

One of them, a four-legged tiger shark-man, wore a small top hat, had spiky hair and a beard, and wore multiple necklaces. His eyes were gleaming.

It wasn't some legitimate light, but rather greed and an intense possessiveness!

He was Vander Decken IX, a descendant of the first Vander Decken.

Having just witnessed Princess Shirahoshi summon a colossal sea king with her cries, I realized that Princess Shirahoshi is the legendary mermaid princess who can control sea kings, whom our first ancestor has been searching for for many years.

In addition, although she is only 6 years old, it is already clear that Princess Shirahoshi is a beauty in the making, and she will definitely be stunningly beautiful when she grows up!

So, in order to obtain this powerful ability, an evil idea suddenly popped into Vander Decken IX's mind.

"If I could marry Princess Shirahoshi... Hehehe!"

This is real torture!

This plan is absolutely a death sentence.

In addition, among the Neptune's army maintaining order, there was a fishman soldier whose eyes revealed a look of regret and cruelty.

"It's such a pity that the shot didn't kill that troublesome woman, Otohime, on the spot."

"If I hadn't been unable to do it myself, that Celestial Dragon and Otohime... would both be dead!"

"It seems I have to take action myself, but before I do, I need a scapegoat to help me divert public anger and attention."

The fishman named Hody Jones suddenly smiled coldly. Is there anyone more suitable to be a scapegoat than the evil, inferior race—humans?

And Otohime's daughter, if we have the chance, we might as well kill them too.

The appearance of a Celestial Dragon instantly stirred up the waters of Fishman Island, and many ambitious individuals began to take action.

Abel had already followed Jinbe to the Dragon Palace.

The place is also decorated very luxuriously, with a golden and magnificent appearance, and it is also very distinctive.

Because Abel saved both the Sun Pirates and Queen Otohime, Jinbe had an extremely lavish banquet prepared for him.

When King Neptune heard about it, he sent people to express his apologies and gratitude.

This means that he is currently with his injured wife and frightened daughter and is unable to come in person for the time being.

This is human nature.

If Neptune had abandoned his family at this point, Abel would have inwardly despised him, thinking he wasn't even a man.

After a few barrels of sake, Jinbe gradually opened up and recounted in detail what had happened after Abel left.

"...At that time, Brother Tai ordered his men to go back and stop the evil dragon, but it was too late. The evil dragon and his companions went on a killing spree in the village, which is why the navy reinforcements arrived just in time."

"The one leading the team is still one of the current Admirals, Kizaru!"

"The dragon didn't even have a chance to escape; it was caught just like that."

"Brother Tai knew he was no match for the naval reinforcements, and his act of walking into a trap meant that we not only failed to rescue anyone, but also risked losing everyone."

Chapter 646 I will certainly help!

At this point, Jinbe took a deep breath and gulped down a large mouthful of sake.

"Finally, Brother Tai smiled and said goodbye to us, then took the initiative to negotiate. He hoped to exchange himself for his captured companion and to let the others go."

"Kizaru initially rejected the proposal, but Tai knew what the other party wanted, so he used the promise of disbanding the Sun Pirates as leverage to persuade the Navy to release him."

"And just like that, Brother Tai was captured, and the Sun Pirates disbanded."

"Even without this, the Sun Pirates would have fallen apart without Brother Tai."

"Many people, including myself, believe that it was the evil dragon's selfishness and willfulness that harmed Brother Tai."

"I beat him up badly until he passed out, but what's done is done and there's no going back."

"But the evil dragon showed no remorse. Knowing I wouldn't kill him, he took some members away under the pretext of rescuing Brother Tai in his own way."

"The remaining members returned to Fishman Island with me, since after the Sun Pirates disbanded, everyone had nowhere to go."

"Then, on the condition that I spared Brother Tai's death sentence, I accepted the Navy's conscription and became one of the Seven Warlords of the Sea..."

Perhaps he had been holding back some things in his heart for a long time, and Jinpei felt compelled to speak them out, so he took advantage of the alcohol to say them all.

This was also because he felt Abel was trustworthy.

Abel silently drank and ate meat, and after listening to Jinbe's story, he only felt that the dragon was stupid, and Tiger was even more hopelessly stupid.

The dragon's stupidity lies in its inability to see the situation clearly and recognize its own strength.

If this guy were even slightly smarter, he wouldn't have turned back when he knew that naval reinforcements might be on their way.

That's just asking to get arrested!

Even if you want revenge, you can always wait until things calm down before going.

The navy can't stay there forever, and even if the villagers wanted to move, they couldn't. Where could they escape to?

Why not act immediately?

It's not that it's absolutely impossible, but this involves another key point: strength!

Even if you don't have the strength to defeat a Marine Admiral, you'd be fine as long as you can escape from someone's presence.

Right? At least we can get out unscathed and not implicate others.

So this is the dragon's stupidity.

But no dragon is as stupid as Tiger.

After realizing the danger, how could he still lead everyone back?

Furthermore, since even the evil dragon cannot be saved, we should decisively give up and everyone should jump into the sea to escape.

Damn it, a whole ship full of fishmen!

Even the most powerful naval warships can't dive to chase them.

Even if Kizaru is incredibly powerful, can he still go underwater?

Even if they can't all escape, escaping most of them shouldn't be a problem at all!

However, Tiger, perhaps used to being a hero, chose the most heroic approach, sacrificing himself to ensure everyone's safe departure.

Of course, this is what Abel thought was 'stupid' about Tiger.

In reality, this guy was probably just 'tired' and wanted to end things this way.

But no matter what, it's a pity.

Abel had considered recruiting this guy, but gave up due to racial and hatred issues.

What seemed like a change in the guy's fate turned out to be only half-changed.

It really feels like fate is playing tricks on us.

After drinking for a while longer, Abel simply removed his disguise and showed his true face.

"This is actually who I am."

"I should have guessed it. What a coincidence that two such powerful guys are both named Abel."

Upon seeing this, Jinbe couldn't help but give a wry smile, but nothing else changed.

In his view, as long as the 'person' is not mistaken, identity is not important.

"The main reason for the disguise was to avoid causing trouble here."

"I understand. May I ask what the purpose of Abel's visit to Fishman Island is?"
