Chapter 26 Little Jinbei

"Hmm, strange ceiling?"

Jinbei slowly stood up, his mind in a mess.

Looking around, this is obviously a human building, and it looks like a hospital.

Was he saved by humans? But didn't his companions say that humans were an extremely evil race? Why...

He shook his head, memories of before he fell into coma flooding back into his mind.

He remembered that he and a group of friends accidentally came across a mermaid trafficking incident, and then they split into two groups to prepare for a rescue operation.

Although Fishman Street and Fishman Island are not in harmony, he feels that after all, they are all of the same race, so if they can be saved, it is better not to stand by and watch them die.

So, one team went to Fishman Street to seek help from Boss Tiger, while the other team followed the slave traders and waited for an opportunity, leaving marks along the way.

In the end, the mermaid was indeed rescued, and the pirates were mostly killed, but she was swept away by a huge current, and her head seemed to be hit by a reef on the way.

"hiss---!"

When he thought of this, his head suddenly started to hurt severely. Only then did he want to reach out and touch it, but he ended up touching a thick bandage.

"Click—"

"Wow! You're awake!"

The door was opened, and Alexander, holding a lunch box in his hand, looked at Jinbei, who was sitting on the bed with his hands covering his head, in surprise. Soon, he handed the lunch box over and said in a familiar manner:
"Hello, my name is Nasdaq Alexander, and I saved you. You were covered in wounds and were dying.

This is the first time I see a living murloc. What's your name?"

Jinbei looked at the black-haired girl... emmm, should it be a girl, right?
It was also the first time he saw a human child. Normally, he saw most human children, such as slave traders or pirates who were rampant on Fishman Island.

He could feel the kindness emanating from this human child, and it was indeed the child who saved him. Boss Tiger once said that saving a life is one of the greatest favors in the world! It is also the highest honor for a knight!

After receiving the lunch box, Jinbei didn't open it immediately even though his stomach was growling. Instead, he thanked him:
"Thank you, my name is Jinbei, and I'm from Fishman Island... Please forgive me for not being able to bow and thank you, but I'm very grateful that you saved me!"

Just as he was about to bend down and bow his head to express his gratitude with the highest etiquette, Jinbei suddenly discovered that his sternum was broken and there was something wrong with his spine, so he couldn't bend too much.

He endured the pain without saying a word, and could only look at Alexander with apology.

Even though he is a whale shark, he has had a strong interest in the stories of "knights" told by Boss Tiger since he was a child, otherwise he would not have rushed out immediately after seeing the kidnapping incident.

If it were most of the other fishmen in Fishman Street, the only thing they would think of in that situation would be "It's none of my business, I should blame the incompetent King of Fishman Island!"

Therefore, he felt so disappointed that he could not express his utmost gratitude to his savior.

"It's okay, it's okay, let's eat first! If you want to thank me, can you tell me some stories about Fishman Island later?"

Alexander waved his hand to indicate that he didn't care, and in the end he just wanted to hear some stories about Fishman Island.

It's nothing, he's just very curious about that kind of place! My dad said that it's a super wonder located 10,000 meters below the sea! It's comparable to Sky Island.

For Alexander, who aspires to become a world-class adventurer, this place is definitely one of his goals! Now that there is a ready-made fishman here, it would be good to satisfy his listening craving in advance.

Jinbe didn't expect that the other party would be so interested in Fish-man Island. However, if the other party knew about Fish-man Island, could this be somewhere in the first half of the Grand Line?
After all, there are only a handful of people in the world who know about Fishman Island.

"it is good!"

After agreeing, Jinbei opened the lunch box.

This lunch box is very large, 30 cm long and 6 cm high, and is filled with various blood-replenishing dishes and energy-rich sea king meat.

Ross had specifically ordered all of this considering his situation.

"This! This, this, this!"

Jinbei was very surprised. He could only eat better during festivals in Fishman Street, but it was never as sumptuous as this. There were actually vegetables in this lunch box!
Vegetables are the most expensive basic food ingredients in the sea, usually as expensive as meat, not to mention places like Fishman Island, where only a small number of fishmen and mermaids can eat vegetables.

Most murlocs eat ordinary sea fish and the meat of sea kings.

Jinbei was almost moved to tears at this point. It turns out that there are such kind people among humans?
Just like the murlocs, there are gentle and chivalrous murlocs like Boss Tiger, and there are bad murlocs like gangsters.

"thanks, thanks!"

Jinbei ate his lunch box in big mouthfuls while expressing his gratitude. His shark teeth easily chewed up the meat and vegetables, and the aroma of the rice lingered on his tongue before he slowly swallowed it.

Alexander felt a little embarrassed by Jinbe's appearance. After all, this was what he usually ate. He really couldn't imagine why the other party could eat so much that he almost cried.

While Jinbei was still eating, Alexander suddenly slapped his head and remembered what his father had told him before, and quickly said:

"Oh, Jinbe! My dad asked me to tell you about your physical condition. He said that according to the medical report, it will take at least half a month for you to recover. During this time, you cannot do any strenuous exercise, even swimming, which is something fishmen are naturally good at!"

As he spoke, he took out a folded medical report from his pocket and placed it on the head of Jinbei's bed.

Alexander naturally read the report secretly. To be honest, he didn't know how Jinbei survived!

One fifth of his bones were shattered by the strong impact! His internal organs were damaged in several places, and his head was severely injured. All of these injuries would kill an ordinary person.

But all these deadly things converged on Jinbei, and he was still alive! He could still move!
Should I say that he is worthy of being one of the strongest sharks in the fish-men tribe as my father said? He is about the same age as me, but his physical fitness is so strong.

And I heard from my dad that the arm strength of the murloc is about ten times that of an ordinary human!
There is such a powerful race on the sea! As expected, it is not wrong to aspire to be an adventurer. Only in this way can the vast ocean be revealed before your eyes!

Thinking of this, he suddenly took out a book that he never left behind. It was the "Liar Rolando" which was widely circulated on the sea!
This was a birthday gift his father gave him when he was six years old, and the same was true for his brother and sister.

For example, my brother’s "Pan-Business", "North Sea Finance", "World Government Law" and so on.

and his sister’s “Encyclopedia of Gunpowder” and “History of Bombs”.

At Nasdaq, Ross attaches great importance to reading education. Basically all children have at least one reading material and dictionary. He does not force it, but they cannot be without it, even if it is just to read it occasionally.
