Chapter 71 Invitation

"Do you want to come to my boat?" White Beard reached out and patted Jin An on the shoulder, staring at Jin An.

Whitebeard's words silenced everyone present. They were all shocked by Whitebeard's words.

"Dad, we don't even know who that guy is..."

"Isn't it a bit unreliable to let him join us?"

After a moment of silence, the pirates whispered to each other, clearly not interested in the man in front of them.

They are the Whitebeard Pirates who dominate the Grand Line. Not everyone can join them. If your identity is not clear, even if you defeat Linlin, it will not work.

Didn’t you see that Oden, that great villain, had to go through many tests before he was slowly accepted by them?

Jin An looked at the hand on his shoulder and took a step back without leaving a trace.

The clothes he wore were all taken from pirates, otherwise Whitebeard probably wouldn't have asked him to join the pirate group after seeing his military uniform.

"No need, I feel quite comfortable in the navy." Jin An looked straight at White Beard, not panicking at all.

"navy?"

"He said he was a Marine...?!"

The pirates stopped smiling, drew their swords from their waists and pointed them at Jin An, with bloodthirsty gleams in their eyes.

"Oh?"

Whitebeard raised his eyebrows slightly. He didn't expect the other party to dare to tell the truth directly.

Of course he knew Jin An's identity. This guy had been on the news headlines for some time, so it was hard not to know him.

However, he really admired the other person and wanted him to join his big family.

Whitebeard smiled and said, "You, a navy man, came to our pirate territory alone. Are you looking for some excitement?"

Jin An knew that it was futile to say anything at this time. Whether he could leave here safely today depended entirely on the other party's mood. (Mainly because he was not alone)

But he still explained: "No, I came here by accident..."

However, the pirates did not believe what Jin An said, and the hostility in their eyes increased instead of decreasing.

"Dad, there's no need to talk to him, let's go kill him!"

"If the navy dares to come here, be prepared to die at any time!"

"You don't have to say more, I have my own considerations." White Beard stepped on the ground, and at the same time, invisible momentum poured from him to Jin An.

Suddenly, Jin An felt a huge pressure coming towards him, and he knew that Whitebeard was testing him.

He was not afraid at all. He thought he could get through this little bit of pressure by gritting his teeth.

Looking at Jin An who had no reaction, White Beard showed a satisfied expression. He was not mistaken about the person.

The other party is indeed worthy of his olive branch.

"Guhahahaha!" Whitebeard's momentum dissipated, "You're a pretty good guy, don't you really want to consider joining us?"

Jin An took a breath and said slowly: "Although the navy may not be as free as you, but..."

"There is a stable place to live and a steady salary there."

“I’m very happy with this life.”

It seemed that there was nothing to talk about. Whitebeard withdrew his gaze. Since the other party had made the decision, he would not force it.

He, Whitebeard, would not force others to do things they don't want to do.

Turning his head to look in another direction, Whitebeard asked:

"Oden, are you still going to go to sea with me?"

"Of course!" Oden answered happily without hesitation.

"The next adventure is beyond your imagination!" Whitebeard looked at him and asked, "Are you ready? Brother."

"Needless to say, Bai Xiaoji!!!" Oden opened his mouth wide and laughed.

The pirates no longer paid attention to Jinan and the others, they all ran towards Oden and lifted him up high.

They sincerely identify with this like-minded man, and how can they not be happy that he can join their big family.

"Dad has treated you badly, hasn't he?!"

"After enduring so much hardship, now you have finally joined us. Congratulations!"

Looking at his crew members who were arranging their movements, Whitebeard didn't know whether to laugh or cry.

“You guys!!”

"..."

After being let go by everyone, Oden met his two old friends: "Inuarashi, Nekomaru, why are you here?"

The pirates were all surprised: "Someone is sneaking across the border!"

Cat Viper smiled and said, "We knew that Lord Oden would be able to board the ship, so we hid on the ship."

Whitebeard looked at Izo who was indignant at him, then turned to Jinan and the others and asked.

"You guys want to go to Wano Country...right?"

Tian Yueshi nodded frantically when he heard this, "Yes, you promised to take us there?"

Whitebeard shook his head with a look of resistance. He didn't want to go to Wano Country again.

"I won't go, but I can arrange for these stowaways to go back with you."

Yi Zang and Cat Viper instantly felt unhappy.

"Why? We are all Lord Oden's retainers. Wherever he goes, we go!"

Cat Viper glanced at Jin An and the others and said, "We don't know them. Even if they want to go to Wano Country, it's none of our business."

Toki looked at Oden and the others in disbelief. She had never expected that her colleagues from Wano Country would be like this when they met them 800 years later. They were not even willing to give way.

"We...we just want you to show us the way..."

As long as they are not allowed to leave Oden, Izo and the others will become much friendlier.

The cat viper's chest made a 'pop' sound when it puffed.

"I see. There's no problem with the road at all. Leave it to me!"

"..."

To be honest, Tianyue Shi is no longer that excited about Wano Country.

However, if she didn't go there, all her hard work would be in vain.

"Oden, are you the daimyo of this generation of the Kozuki family?" Jinan asked curiously.

He heard from Cat Viper and the others that they considered themselves as Oden's retainers. As far as he knew, the only family at the top of Wano Country was the Kozuki family.

Oden raised his head proudly and said arrogantly: "Yes, my name is Kozuki Oden."

Tian Yue Shi's beautiful eyes flashed, "As the daimyo of Wano Country, shouldn't you stay there and learn how to govern the country?"

"My father is here to govern the country. The sea is a man's romance. I hope I can sail freely on the sea in the future!" Oden opened his arms and embraced the sea in front of him.

"But...you are the heir, and the future of the country rests on your shoulders." Tian Yueshi could not agree with the other party's idea.

She could not agree that someone would abandon the future of an entire country and its people for the sake of his own dreams.

Oden didn't care at all and laughed, "Given my father's physical condition, he will have no problem living another thirty or forty years."

"Taking over the country and all that is too far away from me."

Jinan looked at Yuden as if he was looking at a mentally retarded person. The things he did seemed quite outrageous to him.

Although he likes to slack off, he never misses anything he is supposed to do. He feels guilty when he does nothing and is totally unable to be as free and easy as the other person.

"..."

Whitebeard waved at Jinan and led his family towards the Moby Dick.

"Well, kid, we'll see you next time..."
