Pirate: I have a Hollow living inside me!

Taking a deep breath, Jinbe solemnly said, "I am one of the Seven Warlords of the Sea. Although I have relative freedom, I am still under the jurisdiction of the World Government..."

"I need to take that into account..."

Jinbe was very tempted by this, but he wouldn't make a decision on a whim.

There are still some concerns.

His identity is quite special; he is one of the Seven Warlords of the Sea under the World Government.

They have also made deals with world governments.

If I were to "break the agreement" or "choose to betray" the World Government, would it provoke the World Government's anger?

And what impact will this have on Fishman Island?

One of the reasons he became one of the Seven Warlords of the Sea was to make a deal with the World Government on behalf of Fish-Man Island, also in order to promote peace between races...

His every word and action represents the entire Fishman Island.

He has never represented himself alone.

There are many things to worry about...

“I understand your concerns, but you need to consider one thing.”

To this question, Rocks smiled and said leisurely, "If you join us, Fishman Island will be under the protection of me and Whitebeard, the two 'Emperors of the Sea'..."

Lockes also saw the latest issue of the newspaper.

Previously, he was only suspected of being the "fifth emperor of the sea," but now his position as the "fifth emperor of the sea" is almost confirmed.

Their Blackwing Demon Pirates are powerful enough to challenge the rule of the four "Sea Emperors".

In any case, no one in this world dares to underestimate them!

"hiss!"

Upon hearing this, Jinbe took a deep breath, his pupils dilating involuntarily.

It wasn't because of fear or terror.

It's not because he completely overlooked this aspect, but because his statement is incredibly valuable!

Yup!

If one chooses to join the Blackwing Daima Pirates on behalf of Fishman Island, then that means one is a member of the Blackwing Daima Pirates.

The powerful backer behind them is "Blackwing Demon" Locus!

With this identity, Fishman Island would naturally develop an inseparable connection with the Blackwing Daima Pirates.

Fishman Island was already under the protection of the Whitebeard Pirates' flag, and its relationship with the Blackwing Daima Pirates...

Fishman Island can be said to have been protected by both the Whitebeard Pirates and the Blackwing Daima Pirates, two "Emperors of the Sea"!

The Whitebeard Pirates alone deterred many pirates from causing trouble on Fishman Island; the Blackwing Daima Pirates would surely add to that...

Who else would dare to cause trouble on Fishman Island?

Even world governments would have to think twice before coming.

The World Government needs to think carefully about waging war against two "Sea Emperors" at the same time.

Jinbe, one of the Seven Warlords of the Sea, knew this.

The World Government remains vigilant and cautious towards the "Emperors of the Sea" and will not rashly take action against them.

He also ordered the Marine Headquarters and the Seven Warlords of the Sea not to provoke the "Emperor of the Sea" at will.

To take action against the "Sea Emperors," the World Government's approval is required...

This is the deterrent power of the "Sea Emperor"!

Chapter 210 Rocks' swordsmanship is really hard to evaluate!

"I will discuss this matter in detail with King Neptune..."

Jinbe suppressed his turbulent emotions and solemnly addressed Rocks:

"Please give me some time to consider. I represent not just one person, but the entire Fishman Island..."

"understand."

Rocks expressed his understanding: "We'll be on Fishman Island for a few days, and you can get back to me then."

Jinbe is different from Momo.

Although they are both among the Seven Warlords of the Sea, they bear different responsibilities.

Old Mo is just a pirate otaku wandering the seas, representing only himself.

Jinbe, on the other hand, has a sense of responsibility towards his hometown and considers the well-being of Fishman Island.

Old Mo can agree to join them directly, but Jinbe needs to discuss it with the Fishman Island royal family.

Anyway, Rocks and his group decided to stay on Fishman Island for a while and weren't in a hurry.

Let Jinbe think about it carefully...

However, Rocks could tell that Jinbe was interested.

Jinbe already owed them a lot of favors, so the probability of him joining their Blackwing Demon Adventurer's Party was extremely high.

In addition, he just offered benefits, promising to protect Fishman Island as the "Emperor of the Sea".

With all these factors combined, Jinbe is 90% certain he will choose to join them!

Not joining...

We'll talk about it later.

Since the other party owes them a favor, they can ask them for help again if they run into trouble in the future...

Jinbe said solemnly, "Thank you for your understanding!"

Lox waved his hand, indicating that he didn't care.

After dealing with matters here, and after a period of sailing, Rocks and his crew returned to Fishman Island.

Enter through the main entrance...

Jinbe values ​​rules and doesn't want to break them, saying that others will follow suit...

Lox simply let it go.

'We need to develop the "opening-up" mechanism. A few meters of opening isn't big enough; ideally, we should be able to create an opening large enough for ships to pass through...'

Traveling to Ryugu Castle once again in a special vehicle, Rocks thought to himself, 'I also need to enhance the range of my Observation Haki...'

"Void Release" is an ability gained by consuming the Door-Door Fruit; all abilities can be developed.

The abilities like phantoms and clashes are the same.

Locus felt that the ability to "open up space" had great potential, and that it was not enough to only be able to open up spatial rifts a few meters in size.

Further development in this area is needed.

Ideally, a gap should be created that allows the Black Demon to pass through.

Furthermore, the movement range of "Jie Kong" is linked to Locus's perception range.

How far one can move is also related to the range of perception of Observation Haki.

Like Robin's Flower Flower Fruit, his ability is limited by his sensory range.

Rocks' Observation Haki is quite unique and has multiple applications.

However, they are no match for masters of Observation Haki who are proficient in a particular aspect.

In terms of scope, Rocks is not even comparable to Nami or Issho, let alone Kuina.

It also requires training in the range of perception of Observation Haki...

Not long after.

Rocks and his companions returned to Ryugu Palace.

A number of things happened on the very day the Blackwing Demon Adventurer Group arrived at Fishman Island.

It was getting late.

Thanks to the existence of the Sun Tree Eve, Fishman Island also has day and night.

It only applies to the distinction between day and night.

It is very likely that the Sun Tree Eve is rooted near the equator, so Fishman Island does not have a winter.

Because it is located 10,000 meters deep in the ocean, the climate of Fishman Island is not hot.

In a sense, Fishman Island is a "spring island".

The climate remains unchanged year-round, with temperatures that are very comfortable.

Rocks then had a question—if someone cut down the Sun Tree Eve, wouldn't Fishman Island be doomed?

King Neptune explained that the reason their Fishman Island royal family wanted to relocate Fishman Island to the mainland was precisely because of this consideration; only in this way could the future of Fishman Island be guaranteed…

Upon hearing this explanation, Lockes indicated that he understood.

It is indeed unwise to gamble one's future on the "good or evil" of others.

It's perfectly normal for Fishman Island to have such thoughts.

This inevitably reminded Rocks of the promise Joy Boy made with the mermaid princess...

"I am very grateful for everyone's help. Not only did you resolve a huge hidden danger on Fishman Island, but you also found the real culprit behind Otohime's murder and freed my daughter from her predicament..."

Neptune, in his capacity as the royal family of Fishman Island, once again expressed his gratitude to Rocks and the others:

"I will always remember these kindnesses..."

Then Neptune added sincerely, "It's getting late. The lunch banquet was poorly prepared due to lack of time, so I've already ordered a dinner to be arranged..."

Neptune was very enthusiastic.

Not only was an even more lavish dinner prepared, but guest rooms were also ready for Lockes and his companions to rest.
