Chapter 275: The Eve of the Final Battle at the Top: Jinbei Surrenders

“Ugh! Ugh!!” A shout came from the kitchen.

Arthur looked behind Xia Qi and asked, "Who's in there, Xia Qi?"

"Sea Knight Jinbei." Xia Qi responded to Arthur, and entered the room and brought Jinbei out.

When Jinbei saw Arthur's face, he quickly curled up and crawled towards Arthur.

Seeing this, Arthur tore off the tape on his mouth.

Jinbei, who was able to speak again, looked at Arthur with cold sweat on his face and immediately advised: "This war cannot be fought, Lord Lone Dragon!"

"What did you say?" Arthur's face suddenly turned cold when he heard this.

Yana, who was in his arms, felt a cold chill from Arthur's chest, and the warmth instantly disappeared on his soft face.

Everyone in the room noticed Arthur's gaze and watched quietly.

Jinbei was stunned when he felt such coldness.

Judging from his aura alone, this legendary figure in front of him seemed difficult to talk to, and was absolutely different from the cadres and others under his command.

"If this war breaks out, what will happen to the fate of our fish-men?" Jinbei went straight to the core of his interests and said to Arthur:

“I joined the Shichibukai to ensure that Fishman Island would not be invaded by the government.

I befriended Whitebeard to protect Fishman Island with his name, and this war will put me in a dilemma."

Arthur touched Yana's head, then walked to the sofa in the corner where Stussy was lying, checked her injuries, and asked Jinbei:

"You have a profit transaction with the government and Whitebeard, so why are you trying to persuade me?"

"Because I have determined that you are the only one who can stop this war. The Navy has made up its mind to go to war with the Whitebeard Pirates and has issued an emergency call to the Seven Warlords of the Sea! It is impossible for Whitebeard to sit by and watch Ace die. This war is already on the verge of breaking out!"

For Jinbei, the safety of Fishman Island is enough for him to give everything to protect it.

War means that a large number of our compatriots will be hunted by humans and then sold to human nobles.

Now, once the war breaks out, he will either abandon his humanity and righteousness and become an enemy of Whitebeard.

Either give up your status as a Shichibukai or lose the core deal of the government.

Arthur saw that Stussy's condition had stabilized, so he didn't worry too much and just fell into a deep sleep.

After bringing Arthur to Gion, she simply told him, "Stay with your mother and don't wander around."

"Yes." Yana agreed obediently. Having inherited the genes of Arthur and Gion, she was not inferior in swordsmanship.

Arthur walked up to Jinbei and answered his question:

"You are so selfish that you are unwilling to give up your reputation based on benevolence and righteousness, and you are also unwilling to give up the umbrella of protection given by the World Government."

"Sir, this is my last resort." Jinbei said again, "Please, even though the hope is slim, please resolve this war!"

As soon as these words were spoken, everyone in Xia Qi's bar, except Rayleigh and Xia Qi, burst into laughter.

The Ice Blades who surrendered to Arthur all laughed so hard that tears came out of their eyes.

"Ridiculous." The drunken Yibao naval commander suddenly cursed: "What a ridiculous statement. You want us to return our entire army just because of your words?"

"What benefits can you bring to us?" said the Erbao navy commander.

"It is said that even if you, Sea Knight Jinbei, joined the Seven Warlords of the Sea, the Celestial Dragons are still capturing fishermen and mermaids and auctioning them in the archipelago we occupied." The commander of the Eight Treasures Navy said:

"What's the use of your loyalty to the government?"

The Liubao Navy Commander asked again: "That's right, what benefits do you have to persuade us to withdraw? With just one sentence, you are just making trouble!"

The commanders of the Babao navy all stood up to criticize Jinbe's antics.

Too childish behavior, treating war as a joke.

Faced with the words of eight old men with gray beards, Jinbei had difficulty thinking of how to defend himself.

It seemed that he came here alone and did not bring any benefits to them.

"Sir...I..." Jinbei stared at Arthur in front of him, unable to say any words of defense.

The merfolk are a tribe that Arthur cannot afford to offend.

On this sea, he needs the power of the merfolk and cannot kill them at will.

Arthur was very sensible about this.

"Jinbei." Arthur spoke coldly, "Don't come out to cause trouble in the war. Your kindness will make everyone here cut you into pieces."

"Can…!"

"Look around you. Apart from the young and beautiful woman next to me, who doesn't have some white hair? Who has the time to listen to your ridiculous remarks?"

Gion, Stussy, Hancock, and Toritoma didn't care about this.

They are all women of high status, and their appearance, figure, strength, and wisdom are worthy of his status.

They just thought that there were many women around a man like Arthur.

It is normal to have three wives and four concubines.

If only one person has it all to himself, it would be too selfish.

"I promise you that when I overthrow the World Government, the Fishmen will become a noble race in the new world and will never perish!" Arthur no longer looked down on Jinpei, but instead reached out to him to recruit him:

"I sincerely invite you to join me and fight against the World Government together! Believe me, my words are worth more than gold."

"Is this war to overthrow the World Government?" Jinbei stared at Arthur blankly, impressed by the confidence and courage he exuded.

It was as if I saw a future new king of the world, exuding a majestic and domineering aura.

"What else do you think it is?" Arthur continued, "Can you bear to stop me from launching this war and let everything go back to the way it was? Your own race will be trampled upon by the world again, and be treated as a slave by the celestial dragons who don't keep their promises, and be abused forever?"

After listening to what Arthur said, Jinbei seemed to suddenly understand.

I thought to myself, "That's right. For hundreds of years, no one has dared to challenge the authority of the World Government. Not only is this man not afraid, he has also made so many monsters and legends in the sea submit to him and help him overthrow the World Government. And I stand up and want to stop him?

What the hell am I doing? What an idiot!

He suddenly realized that everything he had done here was to ruin a golden opportunity that would only come once in a thousand years.

Bang! Feeling ashamed, Jinbei suddenly fell to his knees, smashing his head against the floor.

He placed his hands on the ground and bowed to Arthur.

Seeing this, everyone in Xia Qi's bar smiled faintly.

"As expected of the Sea Knight, you have a smart mind for the sake of the overall situation." Redfield smiled at Jinbei.

Shiki, who was sitting next to him, yelled at him with a dissatisfied look on his face:

"Why can't you figure it out after I've said so much to you, you bastard shark! How can Arthur give you an epiphany with just a few words?"

Jinbei ignored everyone's gaze, knelt in front of Arthur and said with tears of gratitude:

"Mr. Lone Dragon, please forgive my stupid and foolish behavior. I have wronged you. I, the Undersea Knight Jinbei, am willing to risk everything for you."
