Although the world previously regarded the Straw Hat Pirates as the fifth emperor of the New World, the truly powerful individuals would never acknowledge this status.

But now that the Straw Hat Pirates have the status of the Four Emperors, they no longer need to hide it.

Then came the phone call Luffy just had with Whitebeard demanding Fishman Island back!

Jinbe's attachments are nothing more than three points...

First, the safety of Fishman Island; second, the responsibility of the Sun Pirates; and third, his personal admiration for Whitebeard.

Fortunately, the third point will not affect Jinbe's decision to stay or leave, so as long as Akane and the others resolve the first two points, Jinbe will naturally have no reason to refuse their invitation.

And in this world, who could make Fishman Island safer than the Straw Hat Pirates, or rather, Red?

Even if you select the best of the best from the 500 million mermaids and fishmen on Fishman Island, with the Pokémon templates and moves bestowed by Crimson, you could definitely arm an underwater force that would shock the world in a very short time!

Jinbe, who also benefited from the Pokémon template, understood this better than anyone else.

As for the Sun Pirates' problem, it can also be solved using the methods described above.

"Lord Luffy, Lord Red...you all..." Jinbe murmured softly, then his expression instantly became complicated.

Seeing that Luffy actually took Fishman Island from Whitebeard for his sake...

Although he didn't know exactly how much the Straw Hat Pirates had done for Whitebeard, judging from the conversation just now, the value of this friendship was definitely not small!

But the other party actually used up their friendship with Whitebeard so easily just to invite me onto their ship...

How could Jinbe not be moved by this!?

tread!

The thick wooden clogs suddenly landed on the hard floor.

Suddenly, Jinbe knelt on one knee, striking a chivalrous pose, and then volunteered:

"Thank you all so much for your kindness!"

"I truly do not know why you gentlemen admire me so much, but since things have come to this point, it would be impolite of me to refuse any further!"

"Please rest assured, Lord Luffy and everyone else, I will go and take care of the affairs of Fishman Island and the Sun Pirates first."

"After everything is over, I will definitely return to serve you all with utmost loyalty!"

"You flatter me, Jinpei."

Although she knew this was Jinbe's way of speaking, Red, who appeared at the right time, gently helped him up and then smiled:

"Jinbe, have you ever thought about this...?"

"Luffy can't understand any of the incantations you're using!"

"Huh?!" Jinbe, who had finally managed to get into a fighting stance, suddenly broke out in a cold sweat.

He quickly looked at Luffy beside him and, sure enough, saw him tilting his head with question marks on his forehead, as if pondering the meaning of Jinbe's words.

Red patted Luffy on the shoulder, looked him in the eye, and said:

"Alright, let me translate Jinbe's words."

"In short, to sum it all up, Jinbe has agreed to join our pirate crew!?"

"Huh!?"

Upon hearing this, Luffy's face lit up with joy, and he immediately looked at Jinbe and asked, "Is this true, Jinbe!?"

"Yes!" Jinbe nodded vigorously.

In fact, once Luffy brought Fishman Island under his control, whether or not he joined the Straw Hat Pirates became a meaningless topic.

After all, Jinbe, whose heart is with Fishman Island, is essentially already a member of the Straw Hat Pirates.

Now that he has accepted Luffy's invitation, he has only been promoted from a member of the Straw Hat Pirates to a senior officer.

Not only has his status and position improved, but he has also gained more say. For him, it's a promotion, a great thing!

"This is wonderful, Jinbe!"

"So, to celebrate Jinbe's joining, let's have a—uh uh uh uh..."

Seeing Luffy, who had just finished a banquet, reflexively about to throw another welcome party for his new crewmates, Akame quickly stepped forward, covered Luffy's mouth, and whispered in his ear:

"Didn't you hear Jinbe just say that he has some other things to take care of?"

"Let's wait until Jinbe returns before having a welcome banquet or anything like that!"

"Ah..." Luffy suddenly let out a disappointed sound after receiving this explanation.

Red sighed helplessly, then winked at Jinbe, signaling him to go back to Fishman Island first.

After bidding farewell to the Straw Hat crew, Jinbe headed straight for the nearest shore.

Left behind, Akane and Luffy, who were covering Luffy's mouth, stared at each other blankly.

"Luffy, this kind of banquet is not good. It's too much of a waste of money and resources!"

"This is not something a good lord should do. You don't want to become an annoying old lady, do you?"

Just then, Nami suddenly walked over, holding a ballpoint pen and scribbling in a notebook, and said to Luffy.

"I don't want to become like her!"

Upon hearing this, Luffy, who had initially been disappointed, suddenly became serious and retorted.

At the same time, his idea of ​​continuing the banquet vanished instantly.

Upon seeing this, even Akane couldn't help but raise an eyebrow and give Nami a "it has to be you" look, which earned him a proud, slight smile from Nami.

"Everyone~"

Just then, Red suddenly clapped his hands, drawing the attention of everyone in the Straw Hat Pirates.

"Although we have successfully occupied the World of Nations Sea and obtained one of the red historical text coordinates, this does not mean that we can relax."

"I think you should be very clear about this..."

"The one who truly wants us annihilated isn't some Yonko pirate crew, but the World Government!!!"

"They must know our location by now, and they might be mobilizing their troops to come this way!"

"What happens next will be the real test for us."

"Wait, Crimson!"

Just then, Sanji suddenly raised his hand and said:

"If they were just powerful figures from the World Government, we wouldn't have had to flee in such a sorry state as last time..."

"But if the World Government really deploys a large fleet to attack other islands in the World of Warcraft, our current manpower simply won't be able to resist, will it!"

Sanji quickly discovered the problem.

Although the Avengers members are already quite strong, there is still a significant gap between them and the World Government's true elite soldiers, not to mention the disparity in troop strength.

If they don't attack Whole Cake Island, but instead disperse their forces to attack other islands, it will still cause considerable losses to the Straw Hat Pirates.

Upon hearing Sanji's confusion, Akane suddenly grinned, raised his head, and said with a gleam in his eyes:

"Don't worry, I thought of that a long time ago..."

"That's why I urged the Whitebeard Pirates to arrive as quickly as possible!!!"

"With our current strength, plus Whitebeard and all the officers of his pirate crew..."

"I'm afraid even if the World Government mobilized its entire military, it might not be able to cause any damage to the World Ocean."

"I see."

Upon hearing this, everyone except Luffy suddenly realized what was going on.

It turns out that what Red gave Luffy as the "bottom line for trading Fishman Island" was also bait to lure the Whitebeard Pirates!

If the World Government's forces were to actually reach the Whole Cake Island area, how could the Whitebeard Pirates, who are also located in the Whole Cake Island area and have a grudge against the World Government, not fight back?

black!

That's incredibly cunning!

As expected of crimson!

Only you could come up with such an idea!

In an instant, the Straw Hat crew all had the same thought, but they kept it to themselves and none of them said it aloud.

Peng! ! !

The Holy Land, Mary Geoise.

Inside the large conference room of the Five Elders, Saint Satan slammed his hand on the table, his face showing extreme anger.

"Damn it, the Straw Hat Pirates have grown to this level!?"

"We must send troops immediately! We absolutely cannot allow these guys who challenged the authority of the World Government to continue to live!"

"That's right!"

The five bald elders immediately nodded in agreement.

Recalling Lord Im's horrific reaction when he learned of the attack on Mary Geoise a few months ago, a chill ran down his spine.

Don't be fooled by their high positions and power; they can manipulate the entire world with a flick of their fingers.

But in Im's presence, they were nothing more than worms whose lives were being arbitrarily controlled.

In some ways, they are even different from others.

At least others still have the idea and actions to rebel against them.

They, however, dared not even entertain the slightest thought that might be detrimental to Im.

"This matter is no longer up for discussion! Immediately mobilize all forces and assemble them in the Wan Guo Hai area!"

"This time, we must wipe out the Straw Hat Pirates and their remnants!"

The blonde Five Elders set the final tone:
