Pirate: I have a Hollow living inside me!

No wonder Rocks used it to "coerce" this blue fat guy.

Rocks could fool Moria with a laugh, so he could certainly fool Doraemon.

He's about to unleash his verbal skills!

Rocks' tone became solemn: "You should know how many of our crew members are from the East Blue, and you should also know where the Arlong Pirates are headed, right?"

"..."

Upon hearing the words "Arlong Pirates," Nami's eyes revealed undisguised disgust.

However, he did not say anything.

She naturally wouldn't blame Locke for bringing up the old story and reminding her of painful memories.

Rocks was their benefactor and also indulged her greatly.

Now he's even standing up for her. Although Rocks has other ideas, it's true that he's helping her get revenge!

Although the Arlong Pirates were destroyed and killed by Kuina's sword.

But the damage they suffered has not disappeared, and the dead will not be brought back to life.

If she could travel back in time, "Thor" Nami would definitely make the Arlong Pirates suffer a terrible fate.

It will also save Belmeber...

Nami didn't speak, but Jinbe's senses weren't just for show; he clearly saw the disgust and hatred in Nami's eyes and fell silent: "..."

Another person who fell silent was Mrs. Shirley, the dragon's half-sister: "..."

Arlong... Arlong Pirates...

They actually managed to harm the navigator of the Blackwing Demon Pirates?

If this isn't handled properly...

This could be a diplomatic crisis!

It wasn't just a diplomatic crisis; the Arlong Pirates also felt somewhat guilty about the harm they had caused others...

They all have connections to dragons!

Rocks continued, "The Arlong Pirates have caused irreparable damage to my navigator's hometown, family, and friends."

"Although I destroyed the Arlong Pirates, it doesn't mean the matter is over."

"As far as I know, Arlong, the captain of the Arlong Pirates, was once on the same ship as you. Moreover, it was because you became one of the Seven Warlords of the Sea that he was able to escape imprisonment."

"Since you released the other party back into the sea, you bear inescapable responsibility for whatever the other party does."

"Knowing full well that the other party is a vicious villain, why choose to release them and let them wreak havoc on the sea?"

"More importantly, you've left them to their own devices!"

Rocks stared at Jinbe: "So this time I've come to you to seek justice for my navigator lady, what do you think?"

"I……"

Jinbe was rendered speechless.

Although Rocks only mentioned "irreparable damage" in passing, he knew the dragon's nature well and knew it must have killed many people.

Even Nami's family might be involved...

The cause-and-effect relationship is very clear.

Without him, the dragon would not have been released; without the dragon being released, it would not have gone to the East Sea; without it going to the East Sea, none of these things would have happened...

The cause lies with him.

Especially the question, "Why did you release them?"

Jinbe had no way to refute it.

Yes, he knew Arlong and the others' personalities perfectly well, yet he still chose to use his status as one of the Seven Warlords of the Sea to get the Navy to release Arlong...

It wasn't that he didn't want to get involved, but rather that he didn't know the exact location of the Arlong Pirates. However, he couldn't shirk this responsibility!

Jinbe is a kind and righteous person.

A virtuous person will feel guilty and remorseful for the consequences of their mistakes.

Jinbe said in a hoarse voice, "I will take full responsibility for the harm that the Arlong Pirates have caused to Nami. Do with her as you please!"

Since it concerns me, then... I must pay the price!

Jinbe was about to kneel down and apologize to Nami, but Rocks stopped him...

Nami was startled by Jinbe's actions and quickly stepped aside, raising an eyebrow as she said, "I'm leaving this to Xiao Luo. He can do whatever he wants!"

"Let's talk about this later."

Rocks made Jinbe stand properly and said calmly, "I still approve of your attitude. You didn't deny your mistakes. You truly deserve the title of 'Knight of the Sea' Jinbe, known for his benevolence and righteousness..."

Say something.

Jinbe's attitude was indeed somewhat unexpected.

He was ready to kneel down and apologize at the slightest disagreement, even though Rocks was trying to make Jinbe owe them a favor through words.

But it is indeed undignified to make such a high-ranking person kneel down and admit his mistake...

After all, there's a very high chance they'll become companions in the future, which would be rather undignified.

Anyway, Jinbe wasn't the mastermind; he only bore some responsibility. Jinbe's mistake wasn't serious enough to warrant kneeling down and admitting guilt...

Lockes continued, "Besides this matter, there are other things that require your attention..."

Jinbe: "..."

Is there anything else?

Just then, Jin Pingfang remembered the fishman corpses that had stained the street red outside the coffee shop, and his expression changed drastically: "The new Fishman Pirates!? Could it be that they..."

The New Fishman Pirates have also provoked the Blackwing Demon Pirates?

Jinbe was completely bewildered!

"On your turf, someone threatened to cut off my head. Do you consider that a provocation?"

Lox chuckled, a hint of amusement in his voice: "While that may sound a bit boastful, I am, after all, a big shot, aren't I?"

"It's not that others can't provoke me, but what price do you think they should pay for provoking me?"

"I don't know what kind of crew this 'New Fishman Pirates' is, but I've been provoked on Fishman Island, on your turf. You owe me an explanation, don't you?"

"Who do they represent? If it's not clear, not only that New Fishman Pirates, but your Fishman Island also bears some responsibility..."

This is also a kind of rhetoric.

Rocks knew, of course, that the New Fishman Pirates had little to do with the Fishman Island authorities.

But we can use this as an excuse to make a big deal out of it.

Rocks wasn't the type to stop at nothing to achieve his goals, but he would occasionally resort to tricks.

He was a man who did whatever he wanted!

A two-pronged approach... no, it might even be a three-pronged approach later...

Given various factors, it would be quite unreasonable for the blue fat boy not to join his Blackwing Demon Adventurer Group!

Jinbe: "..."

Scalp tingling!

The worst thing happened.

Some fool has provoked the Blackwing Demon Pirates!

Blackwing Daemon even dared to kill two Celestial Dragons at once; Whitebeard's banner would absolutely not deter him...

If this matter is not handled properly... Fishman Island may face a major crisis!

Jinbe took another deep breath and quickly assured them, "Lord Blackwing Daima, the actions of the New Fishman Pirates are absolutely not the work of the Fishman Island royal family!"

"They are extremists among the fish-men, who hate and are hostile to humans. They are a bunch of stupid and arrogant fools, and such fools cannot represent the entire Fish-Man Island!"

"I see……"

Lockes pretended to understand.

These words relieved Jinbe, but Rocks' next words made Jinbe's scalp tingle...

"Fish-men who hate and are hostile to humans, huh? They certainly sound like extreme individuals, but I'm rather curious..."

Rocks counted on his fingers and said calmly:

"Does the faction within the Fishman Island royal family that advocates 'humans are an inferior race' mean that these extremists are left unchecked?"

Rocks slammed his hat down on him: "Are you planning to start a war between the three races of humans, fish-men, and mermaids someday?"

"Otherwise, I really can't understand why you let these extremists who are hostile and hateful to humanity go unchecked."

"Most of the people coming and going to Fishman Island are humans, right? They bring economic resources, supplies, and information from the outside world..."

"Wouldn't this benefit the development of Fishman Island and strengthen the racial relations between humans, fishmen, and mermaids?"

Rocks spoke eloquently: "I know a little about your Fishman Island."

"Queen Otohime once advocated for peaceful coexistence between humans and fish-men/mermaids. I originally thought that this was Fish-Man Island's attitude towards humans..."

But I found out that wasn't the case!

"There are actually fishmen here who are hostile and hateful towards humans! And the royal family of Fishman Island turns a blind eye to their behavior, allowing them to attack humans..."

Before Jinbe and Mrs. Shirley could speak, Rocks clapped his hands and gave a look of sudden realization: "Oh, I get it!"

"You first spread the message that Fishman Island advocates peaceful coexistence with humans to lower humans' guard against Fishman Island, and then lure humans into Fishman Island to kill them, right?"

"Anyway, Fishman Island is located at a depth of 10,000 meters. Ships without coating cannot escape, making it a sitting duck. The humans you eliminated will naturally be unable to send messages out."

"You use this to plunder the resources and supplies of humans who enter Fishman Island, slowly accumulating strength, and finally one day waging war against humans!"

"Furthermore, with the Whitebeard Pirates' flag flying over Fishman Island, even if some pirates and humans escaped the island's 'hunt,' they would absolutely not dare to utter a single word due to the threat posed by the Whitebeard Pirates..."

"Otherwise, it will invite retaliation from the Whitebeard Pirates!"
