Pirates on Rocks' Ship 996

"What? Jinbe?" Marco was taken aback, looked at Reyna, and said, "If Jinbe loses his life because of this, Old Man will definitely not stand idly by!"

“I know even if you don’t tell me!” Reina rolled his eyes and said, “That’s why I stopped by Dressrosa on my way back!”

Señor gave a wry smile and said, "I see, that's why Mr. Reina called me over! It seems he has some bad news to tell me!"

Reina nodded and said, "That's right. Your young master, Donquixote Doflamingo, was originally a Celestial Dragon, and he also possesses some secrets about the Celestial Dragons. Therefore, he has enough leverage to make deals with the World Government. So I thought of having him rescue Jinbe!"

"This... Young Master won't agree, will he?" Señor hesitated for a moment before asking.

“Yes! I was afraid he wouldn’t agree, so I took down all your officers and even kidnapped a little girl that Torrepol was protecting! Torrepol’s status is already very high in your family, right?! He was still protecting a little girl, so I kidnapped her!” Reina said with a smile.

However, upon hearing Reina's words, Senio was speechless. He knew that Reina had taken Sugar, and he also knew what Sugar meant to the Don Quixote family.

"Then, after Doflamingo returned, I started making a deal with him, and he agreed to my request... However... that little girl was a bit annoying. Originally, I planned to throw her into the sea to punish her after Jinbe came out, but for your sake, I didn't bother with her. Unexpectedly, she insisted that you betrayed them!"

Reina shrugged and said, "You know, I can't explain this kind of thing. The more I explain, the less they believe me!"

Señor sighed but said nothing. After all, Reina had just caught Sugar and threatened to throw her into the sea. If it were him, he probably would have thought someone had betrayed him and leaked Sugar's information.

However, he was certain that he had never told Reina any information about the Don Quixote family; it was simply a misunderstanding.

"So... I still don't know if they consider you a traitor or not!" Reina looked at Señor and said apologetically, "How about... I go with you when you return to Dressrosa?"

"No...no need, I believe the young master will definitely believe me!" Señor quickly waved his hand and said.

If Reina really goes with him, then he really won't be able to explain himself.

Moreover, Lucián's condition is getting better and better, and Señor doesn't want to leave Lucián now. He wants to wait until Lucián has fully recovered before discussing this matter.

Seeing that Señor had his own plans, Reina nodded and said nothing more.

"So Jinbe has been released now?" Marco asked, still somewhat worried about Jinbe.

"He should have already returned to Fishman Island! But his status as one of the Seven Warlords of the Sea has been stripped, and I wonder where the Navy and the World Government will find someone to replace him." Reina nodded and replied.

Chapter 458 Reina's Opposition

Under the bright moonlight, Xuan Yue Island was extremely quiet at night. Except for the lookouts on the watchtowers around the island who were still vigilantly observing their surroundings, everyone else had already fallen asleep.

At the edge of the Sky Island Forest, Binz and Ein were sitting there looking at the distant sea.

"What? You've decided to go to Marineford after all?" Reina appeared behind the two of them without them noticing, startling them.

“Mr. Reina!” Ein and Binz quickly stood up, but Reina saw confusion in their eyes.

"You want to avenge your teacher, but you also know in your hearts that you can't do anything but die if you go there, right?" Reina walked over to the two of them, sat down, and asked.

Both of them remained silent and did not speak.

"So what do you want to do now?" Reina asked, looking at the distant sea.

“If you don’t know… I have a suggestion for you… want to hear it?” Seeing that the two didn’t answer, Reina chuckled and said, “When my wife died in the Deep Sea Prison, all I wanted was revenge! So I just went and killed them, and you know how that ended!”

"Later I learned to wait for an opportunity... I became a venomous snake, always watching them. As soon as they showed a weakness, I would bite them. Maybe I couldn't kill them in one or two bites, but one day, I would bite them to death! What do you think?"

The two looked at Reina with some surprise; they hadn't expected him to say something like that.

"I understand!" Ayn was silent for a moment, then suddenly said, "We will wait for the opportunity to make sure that the murderers who killed our teacher are punished!"

“Ain…” Binz looked at his companion in surprise. In his opinion, Ain shouldn’t give in so easily.

“Mr. Reina is right. It’s a small matter if the two of us die, but the revenge for our teacher… cannot go unavenged!” Ain said firmly.

"It's good to have a purpose! If a person doesn't have a purpose in life, they will become very decadent. Since you have a purpose, keep moving towards it, even if you only move forward a little bit every day, one day you will achieve your purpose!" Seeing this, Reina stood up and said to the two of them with a smile.

"Thank you very much, Mr. Reiner!" Ein and Binz bowed to Reiner.

"No need to thank me, the doctor sent me. He was a little worried about the two of you!" Reina waved his hand and left with a smile.

The next morning, just as Reina was preparing to set sail to rendezvous with the Moby Dick, Crescent Island received a call from Jinbe requesting that the entire Sun Pirates join the Whitebeard Pirates, officially becoming the fiftieth pirate crew under the Whitebeard Pirates.

But this surprised Reina.

According to the storyline, this should have been during the Marineford War, after the Whitebeard Pirates were destroyed, and Jinbe should have joined the Big Mom Pirates with the Sun Pirates.

This led to Jinbe's famous line when facing Big Mom: "I'm a member of the future Pirate King's crew, how could I be afraid of a mere Yonko?"

But now that Jinbe has chosen to join the Whitebeard Pirates with the Sun Pirates, does that mean Jinbe will have to say something like that to Whitebeard in the future?

In that case... Reina believes that Luffy will probably really be one less crew member.

Furthermore, given Jinbe's respect for Whitebeard, he shouldn't have done such a thing. If he wanted to leave, the Whitebeard Pirates wouldn't have prevented him from doing so.

However, as pirates, rules must still be followed. If Jinbe drinks the adoption sake and becomes Whitebeard's adopted son, then when he leaves in the future, he will likely face many hardships and will not be able to leave peacefully.

So after having the liaison contact the Moby Dick, Reina also chose to stay and wait for Jinbe's arrival.

A few days later, Jinbe arrived at Crescent Moon Island with his Sun Pirates, but Reina did not go to greet him; Marco went instead.

"Captain Marco!" Jinbe greeted Marco warmly upon seeing him, but noticed that Marco's gaze was somewhat strange.

"What's wrong?" Jinbe, feeling a little uncomfortable under Marco's gaze, asked with some surprise.

After hesitating for a moment, Marco whispered to Jinbe, "Did you offend that guy Reina?"

"Huh? No! How could I possibly offend him?" Jinbe was taken aback, then shook his head and replied.

"That's good. You know he's a petty guy. If you offend him, just say so early. You can easily fool him with some treasure later! Otherwise, that guy will hold a grudge forever!" Marco nodded and said.

"But... I really didn't offend him!" Jinbe replied with a wry smile.

"Then why does Reina seem to disagree with you joining us?" Marco asked, looking at Jinbe.

"Huh?" Jinbe was genuinely surprised this time, and asked incredulously, "The vice-captain doesn't agree to our Sun Pirates joining the Whitebeard Pirates? Why?"

"I'm asking you, why are you asking me?" Marco replied, somewhat speechless.

Jinbe frowned and thought carefully for a moment, then tentatively asked, "I heard that Mr. Reina rescued me this time. Did he pay a considerable price? Is that why he's a little unhappy?"

“That shouldn’t be the case. It was Doflamingo who rescued you this time. He only kidnapped Doflamingo’s subordinates and forced him to go to the World Government! So he shouldn’t have paid a high price!” Marco shook his head and replied.

"Why is that?" Jinbe and Marco both felt a little confused.

To be fair, Reina doesn't usually like Jinbe, so rejecting them is understandable. But everyone can see that Reina actually likes Jinbe quite a bit, otherwise he wouldn't have given him the nickname "Blue Fatty".

So Reina's refusal to let the Sun Pirates join them has left them somewhat puzzled.

"Never mind, I'll just go ask him directly! If Mr. Reina has any complaints about me, I'll fix it!" Jinbe said with a smile.

The group chatted and laughed as they arrived at the conference room, where Reina was already waiting for them.

"Blue Fatty, I heard you want to join our Whitebeard Pirates?" Jinbe heard Reina's question as soon as he entered the room.

“That’s right! Back then, Boss Tiger wanted to bring the Sun Pirates to join the Whitebeard Pirates! But later, because of the Seven Warlords of the Sea, it couldn’t be done! Now that I no longer have the title of Seven Warlords of the Sea, I’ve come here specifically to join!” Jinbe nodded and said seriously.

Reina nodded and said, "Okay! Even though my brother isn't here right now, I can still agree to it! But... you can't!"

"Why?" As expected, Jinbe asked, somewhat puzzled, after hearing Reina say that he couldn't do it.

When Marco first mentioned this to him, he thought Reina was joking, but now that they were officially discussing it in the conference room, it was impossible for Reina to be joking.

If he said that, it can only prove one thing: that Reina really opposes him joining the Whitebeard Pirates.

Aladdin and the others from the Sun Pirates looked at each other in bewilderment. If Jinbe couldn't join, then they certainly wouldn't join either!

If this incident were to cause a rift in their relationship with the Whitebeard Pirates, or even affect Fishman Island, then it would truly be a case of losing more than they gain.

“You’re too stupid, kid. What if you get scammed later… I’m afraid you won’t be able to explain it to us!” Reina said, pursing his lips.

Everyone was puzzled by Reina's explanation.

"I...I'm too stupid?" Jinbe was even more confused and asked, "Mr. Reina, what do you mean by 'I was tricked'?"

"Let me ask you... if you join another pirate group in the future... how will you conduct yourself?" Reina looked at Jinbe and asked with a smile.

"Me? Join another pirate crew? How is that possible?" Jinbe shook his head and said.

Throughout the world, very few fish-men join other pirate crews. For any fish-man who wants to become a pirate, the Sun Pirates are their first choice, as are Arlong's fish-man pirate crew.

However, they all split off from the Sun Pirates, which also represents two different attitudes of fish-men towards humans.

As the captain of the Sun Pirates, the possibility of Jinbe joining another pirate crew is extremely slim, especially now that he has joined the Whitebeard Pirates, it is even less likely that he will join another pirate crew.

"What? You don't trust me?" Reina said with a light laugh, "If you're so sure, then I have no problem with that, but if you want to back out later... I won't agree!"

Upon hearing what Reina said, Jinbe and the Sun Pirates hesitated.

They knew that Reina had the ability to see the future, so now that he was saying this, he must have seen something, which made them hesitate.

"Hahaha... How about it? Blue Fatty... I told you! You're not suitable for our Whitebeard Pirates! Now I'm giving you a chance to have Aladdin represent the Sun Pirates and join our Whitebeard Pirates! As for you... just go back to Fishman Island and wait!" Reina laughed as he saw Jinbe's hesitant expression.

Jinbe and Aladdin exchanged a glance; they were also unsure of what to do.

"Um... Mr. Reina, let's discuss this first!" Jinbe said, scratching the back of his head somewhat embarrassedly.

“Alright, find your own place to stay. This isn’t your first time on Xuan Yue Island. But the Moby Dick is on its way back. You have to give me a definite answer before Big Brother comes back!” Reina said seriously, his smile fading.

“Okay!” Jinbe nodded and said, “We will make a decision as soon as possible!”

After Jinbe and the others left, Marco asked Reina, "Who exactly was it that managed to snatch Jinbe away from us?"

He had no doubt about Reina's words, but he was puzzled.

Jinbe and the others have known each other for a long time. If you were to ask who in the world has the best relationship with Fishman Island, it would definitely be the Whitebeard Pirates.

Chapter 459 Jinbe's Abdication

"Take it away? Well, it's not really taking it away! He didn't want to, and no one could force him! But... this is the trend of the times! I don't know if he'll still be the way I see him after he joins our Whitebeard Pirates!" Reina shook his head and said, "In order to ensure that the future I see isn't changed, I try my best not to alter these things, so that we can protect our own people from harm!"

“Hehe… Just like Dad said, knowing everything isn’t a good thing! Life should be full of unknowns and adventures!” Marco said with a light laugh.

They already knew that Reyna could see the future. Whitebeard had even warned Reyna many times not to worry too much about the future. If you can't even live well today, what's the point of talking about tomorrow? So even if you know what the future holds, you still have to make a choice when the time comes.

Reina gave a wry smile and said, "So! I've given the power of choice to Jinbe this time. If he insists on joining, then of course I won't disagree! But... if he really does join, then according to the rules, I won't hold back either!"

"Hahaha... That's how it should be. Now that things have been cleared up, I should go back. Nojiko is waiting for me to come back for dinner!" Marco waved his hand and said.

“Okay! Let’s go together!” Reina nodded and replied.

"Huh? Together?" Marco was taken aback. Although they lived not far from each other, they didn't need to live together, right?

"Didn't Nojiko tell you? She invited me to dinner tonight!" Reina replied with a smile.

Marco's lips twitched, and he said, "Let's go then!"
