The most courageous pirate hunter

Damn it.

This tastes incredibly delicious.

The feeling of being unrestrained and doing whatever you want is so intoxicating.

Luckily, I was smart enough to let go of what I had back then, otherwise I wouldn't have achieved what I have today.

"Jinbe, you're on good terms with the Whitebeard Pirates, why don't you talk to Whitebeard about this when you have the chance?"

Neptune was also very decisive.

In fact, he had wanted to use the title of the Emperor Organization for a long time, but he did not want to use the promise made by the Hunter King, so he had been putting it off until now.

Monarchy wasn't so terrifying before; Whitebeard was the strongest in the world back then. But things have changed over time; the King of Hunters has become increasingly terrifying.

They even wiped out the Red-Haired Pirates.

He was also above the Four Emperors.

Good heavens! No matter how you look at it, Monarchy is the best choice. Admittedly, Monarchy has many enemies, but as Hody Jones said, let them try and see how many forces dare to openly attack Fishman Island.

Considering the fate of the Navy and the Red-Haired Pirates, probably not many could withstand it.

Risks and opportunities coexist.

In this era of great rise, Neptune felt he could take a gamble; sticking to the old ways and being afraid of this and that would lead nowhere.

"Your Majesty Neptune."

Jinbe found it hard to believe that the usually composed Neptune would risk associating with Monarch, an organization with enemies everywhere, truly an enemy of the world.

Chapter 303 [I'm getting more and more excited about this new subordinate]

The banquet is over.

Jinbe's feelings were extremely complicated.

But Neptune had already chosen Monarchy, and there was nothing he could do to change it.

"Hody Jones".

They walked out of the Dragon Palace one after the other. Jinbe waited at the entrance for a moment, as he had something to ask Hody Jones.

"Hahaha~"

"what's up."

Hody Jones glanced at Jinbe but didn't pay him much attention. Instead, he was thinking about how to tell the boss that he wanted to protect Fishman Island in his own name only.

But to outsiders, he appears to be backed by the King of Hunters.

It's no different from burying your head in the sand.

At one point, Jinbe used the title of Shichibukai to protect Fishman Island. As a member of the prestigious Great White Shark organization, he certainly had the qualifications.

The Imperial Organization is in no way inferior to the Navy behind the Seven Warlords of the Sea; on the contrary, it is even more intimidating.

I'm sure the boss won't blame him.

After all, the Monarchy organization is quite lenient internally, and the BOSS has never restricted their freedom, giving them a great deal of autonomy. This is why Hody Jones had this idea.

Knowing that man as he does, he probably wouldn't even bother to ask.

That's just how willful I am.

Too troublesome.

"Why hasn't Monarch released Ace yet?"

Jinbe didn't beat around the bush.

"Then you'll have to ask the boss."

Hody Jones shrugged, deciding to give Hermes an explanation and not wanting to continue talking to Jinbe. In the blink of an eye, he disappeared from the spot.

Jinbe was left standing there with a dark expression.

The next day, Jinbe left Fishman Island with a heavy heart, and Hody Jones also left the following day. However, the flag flying over Ryugu Castle was no longer the Whitebeard Pirates' flag.

From that moment on, Fishman Island would be protected by a great white shark with a bounty of 640 million Berries. If Hody Jones's reputation alone were all that great, it wouldn't be anything special.

But everyone knows that the Great White Shark is the subordinate of the King of Hunters.

Even though Monarchy has not openly stated that it will protect Fishman Island, the connection with the Great White Shark makes it impossible for anyone to easily take action against Fishman Island.

"Kula la~"

"Since Neptune has chosen Monarchy, then let's pull down the Whitebeard Pirates' flag!"

Once back on the sea.

Jinbe dialed the Den Den Mushi, and Whitebeard was on the other end.

Whitebeard was not angry after learning about the situation on Fishman Island. In the past, he might have targeted them, but now he just wanted to hold out until Ace and the others grew up and at least be able to protect themselves in the future.

The times are becoming increasingly turbulent, as can be seen from the pirates who have come to challenge the Whitebeard Pirates these days. Damn, everyone has the Six Powers and Haki, and there are quite a few promising new generation members among them.

That's incredibly powerful.

Whitebeard was genuinely worried that Ace, Marco, and the others would be trampled underfoot by the new generation in the future, because the young people nowadays are too crazy. Among the masses, there are geniuses and monsters. They just didn't have good opportunities to get started before, so their potential couldn't be realized.

Previously, one or two geniuses or monsters might appear out of tens of millions of people. Now, it's possible that seven or eight will appear out of hundreds of thousands of people, and there's a high chance they'll make it to the end.

How is this still playing?

The Yangtze River's waves keep pushing forward, with the old waves dying on the beach. There are only so many old waves now, but the new waves keep rising, far from reaching their limit.

This is a terrible era.

Whitebeard had no choice but to change.

"Dad, it seems Monarch doesn't intend to let Ace go so soon."

Jinbe pondered for a moment before continuing.

Since Whitebeard didn't seem to care much about the matter, he didn't press the issue further. It was all Neptune's own choice, and he felt that Whitebeard should be more cautious.

"I see."

unexpected.

Whitebeard remained calm, only slightly frowning.

He didn't seem to be in a hurry, which surprised Jinbe.

"Jinbe, there's no need to rush this matter. For now, we can only deal with things as they come. Whatever the Hunter King's purpose may be, we just need to wait quietly."

"I see."

As the call ended, Whitebeard turned to look at the sea, his inner self not as calm as he appeared. He also didn't understand why the King of Hunters was holding onto Ace.

It doesn't make sense.

Or is the Hunter King plotting something?

For example, should we take action against him?

However, they currently have no grudges against each other; on the contrary, they are cooperating.

It's worth mentioning that Rayleigh and the others also left. Before leaving, they told Whitebeard that regardless of whether the Hunter King released Ace or not, they should be informed.

In short, everyone connected to Ace became somewhat anxious as time went by.

the other side.

Hody Jones also spoke with Hermes about the Fishman Island, but just as Hody Jones had guessed, Hermes didn't even bother to ask.

Since he is already a member of the Monarchy, every member has the right to use the title of the Monarchy, especially since Aquaman is a friend of Hermes.

Guran Tezolo.

It is also known as the Golden City.

It is the world's largest entertainment complex and a paradise for the wealthy.

With enough money, you can experience the kind of pleasure only God could have here. The bright lights and extravagant lifestyle have made some people rich overnight, while others have gone bankrupt.

Women, money, and power can all be obtained here.

The man who rules the Golden City is Gild Tezzolo, who is rumored to own 20% of the world's Pele, has connections in both the legal and illegal worlds, and is also the king of casinos, a top-notch entertainer, and the golden emperor of the underworld.

He was known to outsiders as the Golden Emperor.

It can be said that he could control everything with one hand.

"Is this the City of Gold?"

"No wonder it's the world's most luxurious entertainment city."

this day.

Three figures stepped onto this enormous floating city. Everywhere they looked, there were people coming and going, bright lights and bustling activity, and even the air was filled with the smell of money.

Handsome men and beautiful women, upper-class people, are everywhere.
