Luffy, how can you become the Pirate King if you don't work hard!

"Very well, I'll go right away..."

He was halfway through his sentence when he suddenly frowned and abruptly turned to look at the water behind him.

Bai Xing asked, "What's wrong?"

“Someone followed us, and I didn’t even notice it at first.”

Jinbe turned around and looked back.

Following his gaze, Bai Xing saw several dark figures rapidly approaching in the murky waters.

Those dark figures were enormous and moved swiftly, nimbly in the water like a group of sharks.

Is he also a fishman?

Jinbe's pupils suddenly contracted. "Kaido and Big Mom's subordinates have fish-man blood?"

He even saw some familiar faces.

"The New Fishman Pirates?"

The New Fishman Pirates are an organization under Hody Jones, advocating fishman supremacy and harboring extreme hatred for humans.

They previously staged a coup on Fishman Island, which was defeated by Luffy and his crew, but many remnants still managed to escape.

Murlocs are quite rare, and many factions actually have them.

"Princess Shirahoshi, please hide behind this old man,"

Jinbe quickly got a good look at the group of dark figures.

They were dozens of tall fishmen, their bodies covered with various battle scars, their eyes flashing with a ferocious light.

The leader was exceptionally tall, wearing a helmet shaped like a shark's head, and a ferocious grin spread across his face.

"Hey, isn't this Jinbe, the Knight of the Sea?"

The man's voice came through the seawater, carrying a malicious mockery, "And Princess Shirahoshi of Ryugu Palace, what an unexpected windfall!"

They came specifically for Shirahoshi!

They had seen Shirahoshi underwater before. After their defeat, these fish-men knew they would be arrested if they stayed, so they simply went to join the Four Emperors of the New World.

I didn't expect the Straw Hat Pirates to be so resilient, actually fighting against two Yonko pirate crews at the same time.

During the war, the Heavenly King fell and almost thought he was going to die.

Two of them at once, how could the fishmen possibly survive? So they tried to use the fishmen's characteristics to escape with the help of the ocean, and then they saw Jinbe and Shirahoshi.

Princess Shirahoshi the fish-man is here too!

There must be some secret involved, so I followed them.

Jinbe narrowed his eyes. "Are you remnants of Hody Jones?"

"The remnants?"

The guy laughed heartily, "We are the elite force of the New Fishman Pirates! Although Boss Hody has suffered a temporary setback, our ideals will not be extinguished!"

Not to mention, they also saw that huge warship!

A fish-man possessed an exceptionally sensitive ear, allowing him to hear the conversation between two people from afar.

That's... Hades!

"Jinbe, hand over Hades and Princess Shirahoshi."

As he spoke, the other fishmen had already surrounded Jinbe and his companions in a fan shape, their tridents gleaming coldly in the deep blue seawater.

One of the mermen licked his lips. "This is an event that could change the course of the battle."

"With me here, you won't succeed." Jinbe snorted coldly and took a fighting stance without hesitation.

"Hmph! Jinbe, you betrayed the Fish-Men and joined human pirates, and now you want to play the hero here?"

The leader of the mermen grinned maliciously and raised his trident. "Brothers, charge!"

Several dark figures moved at the same time!

Jinbe, unhurried, stomped his right foot on the seawater, and shot out of the bubbles like an arrow, crashing into the nearest dark figure.

"Fishman Karate - Karakusa Tile Punch!"

A punch was thrown!

A shockwave carrying immense water pressure exploded in front of his fist, forcefully sending the oncoming merman flying.

However, the other dark figures wisely bypassed Jinbe and headed straight for Shirahoshi.

Their goal is quite clear.

Jinbe is definitely no match for him; all we need to do is capture Shirahoshi.

Do you really think I'm such a fool?

As they were speaking, the fishmen saw a flash before their eyes, and Jinbe appeared in front of them with a face full of anger.

"I am a member of the future Pirate King's crew!"

pat!

The fishman tried to retreat in terror, but Jinbe had already closed in, his right fist, imbued with intense Armament Haki, slamming into the fishman's abdomen.

Boom!

The fish's eyes rolled back instantly, its entire body floated up limply, and it lost consciousness.

"Jinbe! Do you really have to oppose us? Fishman Island needs change!"

The fish people over there were still shouting loudly.

Jinbe snorted coldly, and three streams of water burst open in front of him at the same time!

"Fishman Karate - Thousand-Wall Straight Fist!"

"Fishman Karate - 700-Wall Spinning Kick!"

"Fishman Karate..."

Jinbe's figure moved through the ocean like a ghost.

He weaved between the three mermen, each strike landing precisely on their vitals, and before they could even scream, they lost consciousness one after another.

"Is there one more... already there?"

Jinbe suddenly looked up and said, "You're underestimating me too much."

As it turns out, all clever tricks are useless in the face of true strength.

However, just as Jinbe was about to make a move, Shirahoshi, who was not far away, also noticed the fishman rushing towards him.

"Lord Jinbe, let me do it!"

Jinbe's face showed a rather frightened expression.

Wait, what do you mean by "let her come"?

In his eyes, Princess Shirahoshi had always been someone who had little power and needed protection.

Those fishmen weren't strong in his eyes, but compared to Shirahoshi...

"please!"

As Bai Xing spoke, a colossal creature suddenly appeared in the deep darkness behind her.

When the merman realized it, he saw eyes that were many times larger than his own.

then,

Swallow it whole!

Jinbe belatedly realized what was happening as he stared at the enormous sea king that had appeared out of nowhere.

Is this... the power of Aquaman?

Shirahoshi happily thanked and said goodbye to the sea kings.

Then he turned his head and said seriously, "Mr. Jinbe, I am also a future Pirate King's partner, and I can't let you protect me forever."

Mr. Jinbe's words reminded Shirahoshi.

She's also a future partner of the Pirate King!

"Let me join the battles from now on. Don't let my appearance fool you, I've learned a lot from Merry."

Bai Xing was excited.

After experiencing the joy of combat, I seem to like it even more.

"Haha, I can teach you authentic Fishman Karate then."

Jinbe also sensed Shirahoshi's determination.

He turned to look at the huge ship floating in the cavity. "Now we need to figure out how to get this thing up there."

The two slowly swam toward the hollow cavity.

The closer you get to Hades, the stronger the sense of oppression becomes.

Bai Xing said, "It's clearly just a ship."

Jinbe nodded. "I wonder if this guy will listen to us properly."

He joked, "Maybe there's some connection between ancient weapons, like ship spirits that choose their own masters."

Shirahoshi paused for a moment, then closed her eyes to sense it. "Mr. Jinbe... it seems like I can really sense it."

Jinbe: "..."

I was just joking.

The energy grew stronger and stronger, and the air was filled with the remnants of Conqueror's Haki. The three Sea Emperors, belonging to three different factions, gazed at the sky.

This is the third time.

They were tired too.

"If there's a fourth time..."
