Pirate: I have a Hollow living inside me!

Gravity acted on the patrol boat, accelerating its forward speed, propelling it forward in one direction like an arrow released from a bow.

At this speed, a distance of tens of thousands of meters wouldn't take too long.

Rocks then looked at Jinbe: "Jinbe, I've heard that your Fish-Men don't get lost in the deep sea. If you do drift off course, you'll need to correct it."

"Just follow me!"

Jinbe said something.

He stepped off the patrol boat onto the deck.

The phrase "like a fish in water" refers to Jinbe.

There are few people in this world who can defeat him, one of the strongest fish-men, in the ocean.

The sea is the place where the fish-men's talents and strength can be best displayed!

Despite being a blue, chubby guy, Jinbe's speed at this moment was many times faster than it would be on land.

Like a deep-sea torpedo, it advanced despite the resistance of the seawater...

"Such speed! No wonder he is one of the top experts among the fishmen."

Sensing the speed at which Jinbe unleashed his power, Issho was also amazed.

I've already pushed the patrol boat forward with all my might, but I still can't keep up with the other side's speed...

Lox also said, "The water is where the fish-men truly reign supreme; we must recruit such talents onto our ship..."

……

Led by Jinbe, Rocks and the others had already advanced some distance.

"Oh? I've found the location."

Despite the obstruction of seawater, Issho's Observation Haki still had a wider range of perception than Rocks and Kuina.

After traveling some distance, he sensed the location of his target.

He smiled and said, "It's about 50,000 meters away."

"Has the other side noticed anything?" Locke asked.

"Probably not."

"It seems the other party hasn't mastered Observation Haki, so this trip should be foolproof."

Rocks smiled.

Those who possess Observation Haki can sense when others are spying on them.

Nami's previous electromagnetic wave scans could also be detected by Observation Haki.

Since the other party hasn't taken any action yet, it means they haven't noticed the danger.

The other party can't escape!

Kuina admired Issho's mastery of Observation Haki: "Can Observation Haki still spread more than 50,000 meters even when blocked by seawater?"

"Mr. Issho's mastery of Observation Haki is indeed formidable."

"It's just the convenience that comes with ability."

Yixiao smiled modestly and said, "Your Observation Haki is progressing quite well, but you don't need to develop it in terms of range."

"Observation Haki has different applications; you should move towards the direction of 'predicting the future'."

"I am also developing in the direction of 'predicting the future'."

Guina nodded.

Her development of Observation Haki is geared towards "predicting the future".

The ability to sense killing intent and malice is largely based on a swordsman's "intuition".

Kuina glanced at Rocks and said, "If we're talking about the progress of Observation Haki, I estimate it's faster than Rocks's, who was born with Observation Haki."

Locus: "..."

Why would anyone criticize him?

Kuina, you've changed!

Lockes raised an eyebrow and said, "That's not necessarily true. Once I've relearned the Isshin-ryu swordsmanship and honed my mental fortitude, I might grasp the advanced application of it all at once!"

Kuina said, "When are you going to resume practicing Isshin-ryu swordsmanship? And you haven't forgotten your duel with me, have you?"

Rocks pursed his lips: "I'll start practicing Isshin-ryu swordsmanship again tomorrow. We'll spar again in a few days. It's been a long time since I practiced Isshin-ryu. I'm trying to get back into the swing of things these past few days."

"What, are you afraid I'll run away?"

"I'm afraid you'll renege on your promise."

Guina tossed her hair: "It's rare to encounter something I'm confident I can beat you, and I don't want to waste it."

"Me? Cheating?"

Lox pointed to himself, displeased, and said, "When have I ever cheated?"

He felt insulted.

When did he, the mighty "Black Winged Demon" Rocks, ever cheat?

Kuina stared at Rocks and said truthfully, "When we were playing Go with Robin, I don't know who deliberately overturned the board, but after Robin reviewed the game, they wouldn't admit it..."

Rocks's lips twitched: "..."

Yes, that's true.

It was around that time that Rocks learned that Robin also had a photographic memory.

There's no way to deny it!

After a pause, Locke said meaningfully, "I remember you were cultivating back then, right? You were actually paying attention to me while cultivating? Tsk tsk tsk, I never expected that..."

"Well……"

Guina blushed for once, which was rare for her.

She turned her face away, feigning composure: "Back then, Nami was making a big fuss, which is why I paid attention to the past..."

Lox drew out his words: "Is that so?"

"Of course!"

Kuina nodded emphatically, then stood up and said, "Just don't try to renege on your promise!"

"My Observation Haki has also sensed the target. Let's deal with things here first!"

During their casual conversation, they hadn't gone far from their destination...

Chapter 209 Invites Jinbe to Join! One can simultaneously receive the protection of two "Emperors of the Sea"!

The outcome of the battle needs no further explanation.

Jinbe, the blue fat cat, rushed forward and unleashed a flurry of blows, capturing Vander Decken IX alive...

"How...how did you know I was here?"

On the deck of the patrol boat, Vander Deiken IX was still somewhat incredulous at the fact that he had been captured alive.

They even began to question the meaning of life.

This is his stronghold, located in a very secluded spot.

It is quite a distance from Fishman Island.

It's highly unlikely that it will be discovered...

How did "Knight of the Sea" Jinbe suddenly appear? When was he exposed?

"You can only blame your bad luck for running into a Thor with superhuman senses."

Lox chuckled and said, "If you walk by the roadside often enough, you're bound to get your shoes wet. Your fate was inevitable."

If it weren't for Nami, they would have had a real hard time finding this guy.

These cautious people are the most difficult to deal with.

If you run into them, you can only blame your bad luck...

Kuina looked at Vander Deiken IX, whose face was bruised and swollen, and shook her head, saying, "Even weaker than Hody Jones's henchmen. Aren't fishmen supposed to have ten times the strength of humans? I can't see that at all..."

Lox said, "Fishmen are physically stronger than ordinary humans, that's for sure. The reason you think they're weak is because you're too strong right now."

Kuina looked at Lox: "You can handle them without me coming, right?"

"We didn't even make a move..."

"The main purpose is to have you, the one without ability, come and cover for us. Nobody knows if an accident will happen."

Lockes shrugged: "Neither I nor Yixiao can fall into the water. Having more people gives us more confidence. We're not here for you to fight."

Kuina replied with a hint of helplessness, "Oh."

Rocks looked at Vander Decken IX, pulled a fruit that resembled a sea urchin from his pocket, and muttered to himself, "I wonder if the fruits of Fishman Island can become Devil Fruits..."

"If this doesn't work, we'll lose a Devil Fruit on this trip."

One of the reasons Rocks came here was to steal the Devil Fruit from Vander Decken IX.

Because of the tight schedule, Rocks only took the fruits that were a specialty of Fishman Island.

It's unclear whether this fruit could be used as a vessel for a Devil Fruit.

"Um, what is this, sir...?"

Seeing Rocks' actions, Jinbe, who hadn't heard Rocks' words, was somewhat puzzled: "Are you thirsty?"

Why bring out the "Spicy Bone Fruit" at this time?

Locus: "..."

Instead of answering, Rocks asked, "Speaking of which, have any Devil Fruits ever been reborn on your Fish-Man Island?"

Although Jinbe was curious about why Rocks asked that question, he still replied, "Although the chances are small, it has happened before."
