Chapter 196 Sea Knight Jinbei

Sea Forest

This is an underwater forest located northeast of Fishman Street. Many beautiful corals grow here, and fish and whales also forage here. It is like a dreamlike scene.

Because many sunken ships in the sea are transported here along the flow of the tide, this place is also known as the "Ship Graveyard".

"The historical text you want to read is deep in this coral forest."

Jinbei pointed forward, and Robin vaguely saw a stone tablet in the direction he pointed.

"Then I'll go and take a look."

Robin glanced at Rhodes, and seeing that he had no intention of following, his eyes turned to Jinbei, and then called out to Bonis who was following Rhodes.

"Come with me, Bonis."

"Why?"

Bonis looked at Robin.

"I can neither understand that kind of text nor am I interested in that kind of thing."

"Oh, this is an island 10,000 meters under the sea. What if I encounter any monsters? As a reliable partner, you should protect me like a hero."

Robin covered his mouth and chuckled.

Captain Rod looked like he had something to say to "Sea Knight" Jinbei. At this time, Bonis should not follow him.

"Hero..."

Bonis still had a stern face, but followed Robin without saying a word.

Although he was once a killer and now a pirate, he has always dreamed of becoming a hero!

Although he was defeated by the enemy early in every battle, he would do it without hesitation to protect his companions no matter how many times.

Just like a hero!

Looking at the backs of Robin and Bonis, Rod looked at Jinbei beside him and spoke.

"Mr. Jinbei, you don't have to be so careful. I have no ill will towards Fishman Island."

"Sorry."

Jinbei looked at Rod, his face full of righteousness.

He was not the kind of person who would beat around the bush. No matter what the matter was, he would say it out loud.

"Mr. Rod, you are too strong. If you want to do something to Fishman Island, I'm afraid no one on the island can stop you."

Jinbei looked at Rod seriously.

Although the man in front of him has not been at sea for a long time, his reputation is well-known even in the New World.

Katakuri, the second-in-command of the Four Emperors Big Mom Pirates, is not an easy person to deal with. Even in the Whitebeard Pirates, few people dare to say that they can definitely defeat him.

However, such a person actually lost an arm in Paradise.

And the person who did such a thing is the man in front of him.

As one of the Seven Warlords of the Sea, Tyrant Rod's previous achievements were escaping from the hands of Demon Spider, escaping from the hands of Black Arm Zephyr, and fighting with Aokiji. The most influential record was only defeating Crocodile.

However, Crocodile has been away from the New World for too long and does not have much deterrence in the New World. Even if he was defeated by Rod and re-entered the New World, he has not made any big noise recently.

However, the battle with Katakuri was completely different from the previous one. In a one-on-one battle, he cut off Katakuri's arm cleanly. If he hadn't been rescued by his companions, he might have been left in Paradise.

Such a record made no one in the New World dare to underestimate Tyrant Rod.

However, until this time, everyone realized that they still knew too little about Tyrant Rod. It seemed that it was not very clear what this guy's personality was like and what he was chasing.

So after learning that Tyrant Rod was about to go to Fishman Island from Shabaodi, Jinbei led the Sun Pirates back to Fishman Island as soon as possible.

He became one of the Seven Warlords of the Sea, and with the help of the World Government, he finally had some power to protect Fishman Island, but his deterrent power was not enough to deter people like Tyrant Rod.

And the flag of Whitebeard Daddy may not have much deterrent power on the other party.

After all, the other party was the one who dared to directly attack the subordinates of another Four Emperors Big Mom.

"In this world, there are human auctions and slaves. We fishmen and mermaids have always been the biggest victims of the slave trade. After the Age of Exploration began, more and more pirates flocked to Fishman Island. If it weren't for the protection of the flag of Father Whitebeard, I don't know how many people would be captured."

"Not really."

Rhodes interrupted Jinbei's words.

"Fishmen or mermaids are not the biggest victims of the slave trade."

"You always limit your vision to race. Seeing that humans captured fishmen and mermaids and used your companions as slaves, you easily came to the conclusion that [humans are enemies and humans enslaved fishmen]."

"But in this world, those who are captured as slaves are not just fishmen or mermaids. Those who are captured as slaves and enslaved by humans are more humans themselves."

Jinbei's eyes flashed with a trace of shock, looking at the red-haired man in front of him.

In front of him, the man's green eyes were extremely sharp, and his eyes seemed to pierce his eyes.

"What divides friends and enemies is never race or blood, but class!"

As Rod finished speaking, Jinbei only felt a strong spirit emanating from the other party. In a trance, he seemed to see another red-haired man.

The same domineering aura!

Behind a stone behind Rod, an ear suddenly trembled.

In front of the historical text in the distance, Robin's eyes flashed with a trace of surprise, and his lips pursed slightly.

Captain Rod said that he only wanted to achieve his hegemony, but he had a deep understanding of many issues.

However, no matter what the captain's purpose is, as a crew member, I just need to follow closely and devote all my strength.

Thinking of this, Robin reached out and touched the historical text in front of him.

It records Joy Boy's apology to the mermaid princess, and the historical text on Sky Island before records information about the ancient weapon [Sea King]. The legendary [Sea King] is the mermaid princess!

What I can do is probably to interpret these important information and provide corresponding help to Captain Rod at the critical moment.

I have already told Rhode about the information about [Sea King], so he must have made some arrangements.

Robin looked at the historical text in front of him. It has been submerged in this sea for who knows how long. From the historical texts he touched, Robin felt the heavy weight of history.

With Captain Rhode here, I believe that the things they are going to do now and in the future will also become history and be remembered by future generations.

"You..."

Jinbei looked at Rhode and felt that the man in front of him exuded a special spirit, which made him feel swayed.

No one has ever proposed such an idea.

Whether it is Brother Tiger or Princess Otohime, the two of them, one rescued the slaves of Mary Geoise, and the other has been committed to promoting the peaceful coexistence of fishmen and humans.

However, their vision has always been limited to race.

Brother Tiger was still obsessed with the issue of race until the last moment of his life.

However, Brother Tiger rescued not only his fellow fishmen from the holy land of Marijoa, but also a large number of humans and other races.

As Rhode said, they were too obsessed with race and ignored the real contradiction.

What really divided them into enemies and friends was never race, but class!

Human nobles would enslave fishmen and their fellow human tribesmen; and even among the same fishmen, there were distinct classes in the fishmen street, with people who oppressed others and people who were oppressed.

"Do you know a fishman named Along?"

Without giving Jinbei more time to think, Rhode continued to speak.

"Along?"

Jinbei was attracted by the name that Rhode said.

Along was his companion on Brother Tiger's ship, but Jinbei and him did not have a good relationship. That guy was too extreme.

After Brother Tiger's death, Along was also captured by the navy and sent to the Undersea Prison. It was not until Jinbei became one of the Seven Warlords of the Sea that the navy released them from the Undersea Prison.

After that, Jinbei never received any news about him.

"It seems you know him."

Rhodes told Jinbei the story of Arlong.

"He ruled dozens of villages in the East China Sea and enslaved the humans there in an extremely cruel way."

Rhodes looked at Jinbei.

"You see, not only are there humans enslaving fishmen, but there are also fishmen enslaving humans."

"Arlong! How dare he!"

Jinbei's eyes burned with anger.

He had clearly warned him at the beginning!

"I tell you this just to tell you, Jinbei, you fishmen or mermaids don't need to divide yourself from people of other races so clearly. In my opinion, there is not much difference between different races. What is more important than race is thought!"

"Fishman Island has completely isolated itself from the world. You should embrace the world and integrate into the world!"

Rhodes reached out and patted Jinbei's body. With his height, he could only reach his back.

"I can take Fishman Island and integrate into the world."

Having said so much, Rhodes' map of Yan State finally came to an end.

He is about to enter the new world and officially start the struggle for hegemony.

However, the forces under his command were still too weak.

The card of Tesoro could not be revealed for the time being. Rhode needed him to mediate between himself and the World Government. Although Sky Island had been occupied, it was still more of a logistics reserve base, and there were too few people on Sky Island. It might not play a big role in the short term.

However, Fishman Island was different.

Fishman Island had a population of 5 million, which was not a small number. The most important thing was that whether it was fishmen or mermaids, they were born with stronger combat capabilities than humans. In this world where the ocean occupied most of the area, a force that could fight underwater was of great significance.

Moreover, as a must-go place to enter the New World, Fishman Island had important strategic significance and was a force that could not be easily let go.

Not to mention, the princess of Fishman Island was the legendary ancient weapon [Sea King]. Rhode would never let go of such a force.

"Rhode!"

Jinbei looked at Rhode with emotion.

As someone who had been active on the sea for many years, he knew better than anyone the difficulty of what Rhode was talking about.

Even Whitebeard didn't integrate Fishman Island into the world. At most, he used his influence to protect Fishman Island from being disturbed too much.

It was because he knew the difficulty of this matter that Jinbei quickly calmed down after hearing what Rhode said.

"But our Fishman Island is now protected by Whitebeard's flag."

"Of course I know."

Rhode nodded.

"But Whitebeard is old!"

"Even if he is known as the strongest man in the world, he is about 70 years old now. At his age, how long can he protect Fishman Island? After he gets old, where should Fishman Island go and look for the protection of another Four Emperors again?"

"Jinbei, I told you so much, not to let you stand on my side now. After all, I am only a Shichibukai now. I am afraid that I can't protect Fishman Island with my flag alone."

"But, I think that day will not be too long."

Rhode looked forward, Robin and Bonis were slowly walking back.

"I just hope that when that day comes, you can recall what we said today again."

"When that day comes, I hope to see you standing by my side."

Robin approached, and Rhode ended his conversation with Jinbei.

"Have you finished your chat? I'm curious about what you were talking about."

Robin blinked at Rhode, pretending to know nothing.

"It seems that you have seen the historical text as you wished."

Rhode smiled and looked at Robin, his eyes swept across the stone, the two looked at each other, and smiled at the same time.

Bonis looked at his boss, then looked at Robin who suddenly laughed, and a question mark flashed in his mind.

He seemed to have missed something.

"Next, let me take you around Fishman Island."

Jinbei picked up his mood and took Rhode and his party to travel around the island.

"King Neptune has also arranged a dinner. After you have played around, let's go to Ryugu Castle to attend the dinner together."

"The king arranged a dinner?"

Robin looked at Ryugu Castle floating in the sky.

"Then I have to look forward to it. I have heard that the snacks in Fishman Island are very delicious."

"I won't let you down!"

When talking about the snacks in Fishman Island, Jinbei's eyes also flashed a gleam.

···

"So delicious!"

On the west side of Fishman Island, Marin Shopping Center.

Minina held a box of snacks in her hand, her eyes narrowed slightly, and she looked satisfied.

Perhaps because of the unique environment, the snacks in Fishman Island are completely different from those she tasted before, with a unique taste and flavor that made Minina instantly intoxicated.

"Is it so delicious?"

Nia picked up a piece of snack doubtfully.

"Try it, try it, it's really delicious!!"

Minina looked at Nia with anticipation.

Recommending her favorite food to her friends is the happiest thing for her, second only to making delicious food for her friends and eating delicious food.

"Very good!"

When the snacks entered her mouth, Nia's eyes lit up.

She actually tasted the flavor of fish in the snacks, but it was different from the dried fish she had eaten before, a flavor she had never tasted before.

"You two."

Bakara glanced at the two people who were sharing the food.

"We said we were going to kill everyone."

They were now in a shopping mall, and food was just an embellishment. What was more important was fashion and shopping!
