Pirates: From Vice Captain to Lord of the Dead

"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 start a war with you before the negotiation results came out. I decided to go in alone first."

"Yeah, 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.

Chapter 252 Negotiation

After a while, when Jinbei passed those fish-men and swam straight into the Fish-Man Island, the leading fish-man in a suit took out a Den Den Mushi wrapped in bubbles from his arms.

While staring at Reiner and the others, he communicated with the other side for a few words, then smiled jokingly, waved his hand and called on two of his men to come over riding on sea beasts.

"Hey, you guys."

Hammond, the sea eel fishman with a long neck, sharp mouth and teeth, stood on the head of the giraffe sea monster and looked down, then threw down the Den Den Mushi in his hand.

"Our boss Huodi has something to tell you."

Ding—ding!

Den Den Mushi fell on the deck. Seeing no one was picking it up, it stood up by itself, imitated the expression on the other end, and spoke with a gloomy face:

"Straw Hat Pirates, I'm Hodi, the captain of the new Fishman Pirates. Arlong was defeated by you, right?"

"What do you mean?" Sanji said calmly, "Didn't Jinbei say that we won't start a war until the negotiation is concluded?"

"Negotiation? Haha, what the hell kind of negotiation!"

Den Den Mushi laughed arrogantly for a while, then said with a stern face, "I've heard from Hammond that the traitor actually wanted to lead us down the same path as Princess Otohime."

"The result of the negotiation has already been announced! Either he joins the new Fishman Pirates, or he dies with King Neptune! There is no other possibility!"

"As for you."

Click!

"Dori dori."

Without waiting for Hodi to finish speaking, Zoro hung up the Den Den Mushi, drew a knife from his waist, and looked coldly at Hammond and the other fishmen.

"We asked just to confirm that we can do it."

"You're going to die!"

Hammond's face was filled with anger. "Brother Hodi wanted to spare your lives and surrender to the New Fishman Pirates as slaves. You are a lowly race that doesn't know what's good for you!"

"on!"

Hammond shouted, whipped out his long whip and drove the sea beast under his crotch to attack, "Crush their ship!"

"Roar!"

The three sea beasts roared and slapped over with their tails, causing a turbulent current that made the boat unstable and began to shake.

Reiner didn't move, but someone else couldn't hold back and rushed forward.

Zoro was as fast as a rabbit and dived through the ship's membrane without even using the life-saving bubble.

He floated in front of the boat with three knives held out, tiny bubbles gushing out of the corners of his mouth. He smiled coldly, twisted his body and swung the knives!

"Three sword styles, sea tornado!"

An even more violent ocean current swirled up, and a momentary vacuum vortex was even swept up around Zoro, which bounced off the huge fish tail that was hitting him.

"Come out of the ship's membrane, idiot."

"Don't you know that the world in the water belongs to fishmen?"

Hammond and the other fishmen jeered, grabbed their weapons, and swooped down at an extremely fast speed!

"You are an inferior race that can only adapt to the ground! Let me show you the difference between us!"

Hammond brought two murlocs and attacked Sauron from three directions!

"That idiot." Sanji sneered at Zoro, bent his legs slightly and kicked out of the ship's membrane with the bubble coral.

When fighting in water, breathing is their biggest limitation compared to overcoming the resistance of sea water.

Sanji blew out bubbles to wrap himself, and at the same time, he stomped his feet on the sea water. His body was like a dragon, and his speed was no slower than that of the fish-man.

"then!"

After throwing the bubble coral at Zoro, Sanji flew right past him and quickly rushed towards the three sea beasts.

No matter how restricted the green algae head is, it is impossible for it to be helpless in the face of such small fish.

Sure enough, the next moment.

Sauron swung his sword slowly and three sharp green rays broke through the heavy sea water and flew out!

"Hundred and Eight Troubled Phoenix!"

Poof! Poof! Poof!

The three fishmen were startled, and before they could turn around to avoid it, the sound of flesh being broken reached their ears!

"How. How is it possible!"

As Hammond stared in disbelief, dark blood oozed from his chest in intense pain, dyeing the sea in front of him red.

A human being easily defeats a mermaid in the water! ?

How can the gap in strength be so big?

Hammond's eyes rolled back and he gradually lost consciousness.

"Sorry, I don't have a move weaker than this." Zoro sneered and slowly sheathed his sword.

"Zoron!!"

Looking at his back, Chopper's eyes shone with golden light, and then he took a step forward, imitating Zoro's posture of sheathing his sword, and said in a deep voice:

"Sorry, I don't have any weaker moves."

"So handsome!"

Chopper covered his blushing face with his hands and twisted his body in excitement.

the other side.
