Chapter 251 Heroic Drama
As Jinbei narrated, as everyone learned about the civil unrest, the Merry gradually emerged from the darkness and light began to appear ahead.

Since the giant tree [Sun Tree Eve] growing near Fishman Island can transmit sunlight to the deep sea, Fishman Island located in the deep sea also has changes between day and night.

Everyone stood up and marveled at the magnificent sight of Fishman Island floating in the deep sea, wrapped in a huge bubble.

"It's a double-walled bubble with an air layer in the middle."

Jinbei took the initiative to explain to them, "If they force their way in, the ship's membrane will be peeled off and fused by the bubbles outside, and then fall from the sky. The entrance should be heavily guarded by now."

"Don't we still have to fight our way in?" Zoro said calmly, holding the hilt of the sword and looking towards Fishman Island.

"No, I will go negotiate first."

Jinbei stared into the distance. Several fishmen had already noticed their boat and were swimming towards them on sea beasts. He replied:
"I still have some prestige. Before they confirm the hostile relationship, they dare not attack me."

"Everyone please wait for me here. At least before the battle begins, I hope to have a face-to-face talk with Hodi and the others."

"In that case, then you'd better be careful Jinbei." Luffy nodded at him.

"Ah."

After saying that, Jinbei jumped out of the boat membrane and swam towards the other party with his legs.

Just as Jinbei said, as the guardian of Fish-man Island, both fish-men and mermaids respect him very much.

When Reiner saw him approaching, the fishmen riding on sea beasts nodded respectfully to him, then stopped and started chatting.

He couldn't hear any sound, but he noticed that a leading fishman wearing a black suit jacket and a black top hat would glance at him from time to time, his eyes gloomy and full of hostility.

"It looks like this conversation won't end well." Sanji also noticed it, exhaled smoke, and whispered, "We have to be prepared. Fighting fishmen in the seabed will put us at a disadvantage."

"Take all of these."

Reiner threw a few bubble corals to everyone, blew a life-saving bubble to demonstrate how to use it, and said calmly:

"This way we can fight in the sea. Although we probably won't need it, it's just in case."

Reiner knew that there was little hope for Jinbe's reconciliation, but there was no need to worry too much.

The strength of Hodi's gang
Reiner's evaluation is that if they don't take drugs, they may not be much better than Aaron and his gang.

Battle plan: Invade the island and annihilate the enemy, easy.

"--Oh! Let me try!"

Luffy's voice came from the side, and Reiner and others looked over subconsciously.

He blew a bubble and wrapped himself in it, like a child who got a new toy and couldn't wait to jump out of the Merry to play with it.

"How cool, hahaha!"

"."

"Forget it, let's ignore that idiot for now."

Nami sighed helplessly, then turned to Reiner and Sanji and asked, "Just in case, should we sneak into Fishman Island to check the situation? After all, the other side has hostages."

"As expected of Ms. Nami, you are so thoughtful."

Sanji looked fawning and waving his hands like a seaweed swaying in the wind, "Leave this mission to me."

Reiner thought for a moment and said, "Let's split the troops into two groups. One group will fight head-on to attract attention, and the other group will take the opportunity to sneak in and rescue people."

"I choose to infiltrate." Usopp raised his hand and spoke.

"No." Zoro grabbed his collar and pulled Usopp over, "See if you've been slacking off in the past two years."

After a while, Jinbe seemed to have reached some unpleasant results during the negotiations and swam back with a serious face.

"What do you mean Jinbei?"

"They only wanted me to meet with Huodi and refused you entry."

There was some disappointment in Jinbei's eyes. He didn't expect that Fishman Street had been brainwashed by Hodi to this extent. He paused and said:

"However, they promised me that they would not go to war with you before the negotiation results came out. I decided to go in alone first." "Well, it's okay. We already have a plan."

Reiner said seriously: "As for you, if the negotiations break down, I suggest you don't make any move."

"Why? Are you worried that I can't win?"

Jinbe thought Reiner was worried about him. He had already learned from Kohachi that Hodi had a deadly drug that could enhance his strength.

To be honest, he didn't quite understand the other party's strength, and he was going deep into the enemy camp to fight against many enemies alone.

To be on the safe side, it would be better to come out and reunite with everyone before making plans.

But Reiner shook his head and changed the subject.

"You chose to negotiate in the hope of minimizing bloodshed. More importantly, you also said that the cause of the civil unrest has been accumulating for a long time. It is a racial issue."

Seeing Jinbei nod, Reiner continued, "This might not be a bad opportunity. You can even pretend to be defeated and captured, and create an atmosphere for the people that no one can stop Hodi from going crazy."

"This"

"Why do you do this?" Jinbei became more and more confused as he listened.

"Well, it's the same old drama. The country is in crisis, and then the hero shows up and blah blah." Reiner scratched his head.

"This is a good opportunity to change the way more fishmen view humans. Deep-rooted ideas are difficult to change, but ignorant children will admire heroes."

"Changing people's mindsets is not something that can be accomplished in one or two generations. I'm sure you understand this better than I do."

"."

Jinbei remained silent and just looked at Reiner. He understood what he meant.

The scene of Brother Tiger's death came back to my mind.

"It's ridiculous, isn't it Jinbei?"

The man clutched his chest tightly, his eyes filled with tears as he cried out, "I can no longer love humans."

Tiger did not die because humans refused blood transfusions as rumored by the outside world, but the hatred in his heart made him unable to accept human blood.

A man who spent his entire life working for racial peace ended up dying in the hatred in his heart.

The last words before death.

But they were asked to keep this matter secret and not let his hatred spread to the next generation.

"I understand what you mean." Jinbei closed his eyes, loosened his tightly clenched fists, lowered his head and whispered, "Thank you."

"It doesn't matter whether you thank me or not. Even if it works, what's the point? Can you change everyone in the world?"

Reiner didn't care. Racial peace was something that the thinking of his time could not achieve.

Even if all the fishmen let go of their racial hatred, what about the humans in the outside world?

"This road is too long. Who knows what use our current work will be in the future?" Reiner shook his head.

It is extremely difficult to eliminate racial discrimination in the world.

No, many countries have gone to space hundreds of times, but racial discrimination has not disappeared.

"yes."

“It’s a long road, though.”

Jinbei turned around and slowly walked towards the edge of the ship without looking back: "Princess Otohime said that waiting will not lead to any results. Someone on both sides must take this step."

".Why can't it be us."

I could not see this day coming.

But this day must come.
