Chapter 491: Incoming and Outgoing! (Two in One)

In the lively port town, as the warship painted with dark blue camouflage sailed into the port, pedestrians on both sides of the street were attracted by the warship and looked sideways. The noisy street suddenly became... One quiet.

"New navy! Ships from all nations!"

"What happened? How come the new navy of all nations came to Fish-Man Island?"

"First it's the Navy Headquarters, and now it's the ships of all nations. What big thing happened?!"

The public's attention was attracted by the warship entering the port. On the shore, Jinbei also led a group of fishmen navy and hurried towards this side.

As the wooden ladder was lowered on the warship, Jinbei also hurriedly boarded the warship deck.

The warship entering the port at this time was the navy of the All Nations Headquarters led by Vergo. When the warship stopped, the navy on board quickly gathered on the deck, waiting for Vergo's next order.

On this ship, the person with the highest military rank was actually Aramu, who was a colonel. However, during this period of sailing, he basically did not give many orders. On this ship, the person who did it was Vergo, who had a lower military rank.

After Jinbe led the people onto the deck of the warship, his eyes swept over the new marines, and then his eyes fell on Aramaki, who was wearing the rank of colonel.

After looking around for a while, Jinbei also recognized Aramaki, a young man who had made such a big name in the new world.

Aramaki is a nature-type ability user. He has participated in several battles since joining the New Navy, and his personal strength was fully displayed in the war with pirates.

His powerful strength made Huang Mu stand out among the recruits back then. Now, even after leaving the Ten Thousand Kingdoms Headquarters, he is still somewhat famous in the new world.

Jinbei knew that Aramaki was the key training target of the headquarters and was being trained as a general.

"Hehehe, welcome, Colonel Aramaki!"

Jinbe's military rank is higher than Aramaki's, but he is still very polite when facing Aramaki. On the one hand, this is Jinbei's "human sophistication", on the other hand, he is also giving face to Aramaki, a colonel. After all, the other party's visit this time does not represent him personally, but the will of the headquarters.

At this time, Aramu was sitting on the round stool under the mast, reading the newspapers of the past few days. He knew his position very clearly, and knew that this time he would follow the ship with Virgo as the main one. Along the way, he My mood is not very happy, I have always been taciturn, and I don't pay much attention to others.

At this moment, he suddenly heard someone greeting him. Aramaki immediately put down the newspaper and turned his head to look in the direction of the sound. When he saw that the person greeting him was actually a fish-man navy wearing a general title, his face immediately became solemn. Put down the newspaper and stand up quickly:

"Captain Jinbei!"

"Hello, first time we meet! I'm Aramaki!"

When Aramaki greeted him, he was serious and polite, but behind this thoughtfulness, there was still a faint feeling of alienation.

"Huh? Is Colonel Aramaki this kind of person?"

"It's a little serious."

Jinbe murmured in his heart, thinking that the state the other party was showing at this time was due to his personality and temper. However, Aramaki actually regarded Jinbei as the subject of the investigation that came to Fish-Man Island this time, and deliberately distanced himself from him. result.

On the way here, Vergo had already explained the purpose of this operation to Aramaki, Smoker and others on the same ship. He knew that this incident was not simple, and that it would only be possible if everyone on the ship worked together.

While Jinbei was communicating with Aramaki, Virgo, Smoker and Peacock came to Jinbei's side one after another. After noticing the movement around him, Jinbei turned his head slightly and turned his gaze away.

After Vergo came to Jinbei's side, he saluted Jinbei and said in a serious tone:

"Hello, Captain Jinbei, I am the captain of this ship, my name is Vergo. This time I come to Fishman Island to perform a mission, and I am fully responsible for it."

"This is our first meeting. Please take good care of me from now on."

Vergo's words made Jinbei's expression condense. He glanced at Aramaki aside calmly. Seeing the calm look on his face, he couldn't help but take a few more glances at Vergo.

Rare

In the military system, lieutenants lead school officers?

The Virgo in front of me has some background.

"Nowhere, don't take care of me."

"Just do things impartially."

"Everyone comes to Fish-Man Island, what are your plans and plans next?"

"I have sent people to monitor the red-haired pirates. They have been peaceful on the island during this period and have not done anything extraordinary."

"What does the headquarters mean? Are you sending you to help me expel the red-haired pirates? Or does the headquarters have other arrangements?"

Jinbei knew that this group of people was the support given to him by the headquarters.

He had fought against the Red-haired Pirates and was very aware of their opponent's strength. Jinbe did not think that these young marines in front of him could help him drive away the Red-haired Pirates.

Although Aramaki has become famous in the new world, in Jinbei's view, Aramaki still has a "hundred million points" to fight against the red-haired pirates.

He didn't think the headquarters would send anyone to die, so he asked this question.

"Expelling the Red-haired Pirates? No, the headquarters does not want to have a direct conflict with the Red-haired Pirates."

"You also reported the cause of the incident to General Yixiao, and he already understands it."

"The first goal is to resolve the conflict between us and the red-haired pirates."

"You don't want to go to war with such strong men on Fishman Island, do you? This will have an immeasurable impact on this country."

"Mr. Tsugokuni Yoshiichi has entrusted me to pass a letter to Red-Haired Shanks."

"For this matter, we just need to trust the higher-ups!"

Vergo's cold face showed a stiff smile, and he explained to Jinbei. His eyes quickly swept over Jinbei's subordinates, and he secretly remembered the appearance of those subordinates in his heart. Vergo continued:

"Just keep an eye on the Red-Haired Pirates."

Vergo's words made Jinbei frown. He didn't expect that after waiting for support, he would get such a result. He Some people couldn't stand it:

"My subordinates were killed by the Red Hair Pirates! Are we going to let this go?!"

"He is from our new navy. He was killed by pirates. Are we going to do nothing?"

"And one of my subordinates has also received death threats from the Red Hair Pirates. If we can't expel those people, how can we guarantee the safety of my subordinates?!"

"I can't accept this treatment!"

"Admiral! I want to see Admiral Yixiao!"

Jinbei is a straightforward person. Although his many years of military career have greatly trained him to deal with people, it is difficult to change his personality.

One is one, and two is two.

Jinbei didn't know what the headquarters was planning. He only knew that his subordinates were killed by pirates and Arlong was even threatened with death.

Jinbei's reaction at this time was more or less surprising to Vergo and others. They didn't expect Jinbei to react like this, and Jinbei's emotional excitement made Vergo frown:

"What are you doing, Jinbei?!"

"Questioning the headquarters' decision?!"

"Or do you think the lives of millions of people on Fishman Island are not as important as the lives of your subordinates?"

"Such a decision is for the sake of those who are still alive."

"Have you ever thought about the consequences of going to war with the Red Hair Pirates on Fishman Island?!"

Vergo still had a cold face, and his tone became a little cold when facing Jinbei, whose rank was much higher than his. On the deck, Aramaki and Smoker had already looked at Jinbei.

Train Problem

When Vergo put such a cruel reality in front of Jinbei, Jinbei immediately fell silent.

As long as you think about it calmly, you will know that Vergo is right.

But in the face of the "big picture", is the life of an individual really so insignificant?

The Tsukuni Yoriichi that Jinbei knew, the Issho that he knew, was never such a person, so why? !

"If Mr. Tsukuni Yoriichi came to Fishman Island in person, even the Red Hair Pirates would not be able to make any waves."

Jinbei murmured in a low mood, his face full of disappointment. Although his words were subtle, everyone present was a master and heard Jinbei's words clearly.

Aramaki, who had always been somewhat silent, slowly stood up and walked to Jinbei's side: "If you act on your own, you need to bear the possible consequences."

"Whether to deal with an opponent of the level of the Seven Warlords of the Sea is not something that a grassroots sergeant can decide."

"Captain Jinbei, I understand your feelings, but the actions of the headquarters will never be controlled by ordinary navy."

"If that's the case, our navy will not have to do anything in the future."

"It would be better to avenge the dead sergeants every day."

Can Aramaki really understand Jinbei's feelings?

How is it possible? He is not an emotional person, and the ones who died were not his subordinates. How could he understand Jinbei's feelings? He said these words simply to protect the people like Tsugikoku Yoriichi who he admired. That's all.

In his opinion, the fish-man navy who acted rashly without knowing the consequences would die.

"Everyone, let's go to the branch base to rest first."

Jinbei didn't want to say anything more about this matter. He turned sideways, made way, and led the way to the stairs and spoke.

Seeing this, Vergo nodded very tactfully: "Okay, thank you for troubling Jinbei, the base commander."

"Isn't there a rule in Fishman Island to search all ships? We will cooperate with you in this matter."

Vergo knows the rules very well and doesn't want to make things too awkward with Jinbei over these details.

"Yeah!"

Jinbei obviously didn't care about these things at this moment. He nodded and got off the boat first. Vergo and others followed Jinbei's footsteps. After getting off the boat, they talked with Jinbei while touring the streets of Fishman Island.

Aramaki, Vergo and others noticed the warship from Marinford docked at the port, but they all tacitly did not ask.

After digesting his emotions, Jinbei realized that his behavior was a bit out of control. After quickly adjusting himself, he noticed the sight of Aramaki, Vergo and others and took the initiative to explain:

"That was the ship of Zefa, the former general of Marinford. They went to the island to investigate the murder case."

"The headquarters knows about the situation. It was the upper authorities who let them go to the island."

Jinbei's words made Vergo and others worried. Smoker was not the kind of person who could hide things. His expression was condensed and he immediately asked: "Murder case?"

"What murder case?"

Faced with Smoker's question, Jinbei also told them the news he knew on the way to the base.

Fishman Street.

In the dim and enclosed space, a candle suddenly lit up.

The dim candlelight dispelled the surrounding darkness.

This was a prison of fifteen or sixteen square meters. As the candlelight lit up, the sound of chains knocking against each other was heard in the quiet prison.

Under the illumination of the weak candlelight, the scene in the prison was also revealed in front of people.

In the small space of more than ten square meters, there were more than a dozen young mermaid girls imprisoned. The heavy chains bound the hands and necks of the mermaids. Seeing the weak candlelight lit up, the mermaids showed fear, tried to shrink their bodies, and lowered their heads.

"Brother, there are sixteen pieces of goods."

"It hasn't been sold yet."

"Originally, they were supposed to be delivered in the next few days, but the appearance of the Red Hair Pirates has made those lackeys on the island nervous."

"Can we sell them out?"

"These goods have been locked up for a long time. If they are locked up any longer, it will be difficult to maintain their quality and the price will drop."

Subtle footsteps sounded in the prison. Vander Decken IX walked into the prison under the guidance of his younger brother. After looking around, a trace of impatience appeared on his face:

"What's going on!"

"Have you contacted them?"

"How did they reply to us?"

Vander Decken IX frowned, grabbed his younger brother by the collar, and asked angrily.

"I have contacted him! I have contacted him! But..."

"No reply!"

"That guy has been hiding in his shell and has never come out. I don't know what's going on."

"Boss, do you think that guy wants to 'jump ship'?"

Hearing the younger brother's reply, Vander Decken IX's eyes flashed with coldness, and he pushed the younger brother away. After thinking for a while, a grim smile appeared on his face:

"Hehe, no."

"This is a big business, how can he let it go?"

"Jump ship? I don't agree, what qualifications does he have to jump ship?"

"He took my money and still doesn't want to work? Are you kidding?"

"It seems that he needs to be reminded!"

As he said, Vander Decken IX slowly took off the glove on his left hand, spread his hands, and gestured to the younger brother beside him.

Seeing this, the latter showed a flattering smile on his face, took out a finger-long dagger from his arms, and handed it to Vander Decken IX's hand.

As soon as he got the small dagger, Vander Decken IX threw it into the passage behind him. Although he didn't use much strength, the thrown dagger disappeared into the passage in an instant.

After doing all this, Vander Decken IX swept his eyes over a mermaid in the prison and said lightly:

"After my reminder, that guy should know what to do. He should be able to ship out the goods in the next two days."

"Wash these goods before shipping."

"By the way, take advantage of the next two days to get some more goods and ship them out together."

"I received news that a ship from the Ten Thousand Nations has come to Fishman Island. We have to keep a low profile for the next period of time."

"After this job, take a break first."

Vander Decken IX said, and handed the oil lamp in his hand to his younger brother. Hearing his boss's words, the fishman glanced at the mermaids in the prison, and a hint of reluctance appeared in his eyes:

"Yes! I understand, don't worry."

"I will quickly get a batch of good goods, and then sell them together at a good price."

"Hehe, boss, I'll give it to you"

Before the younger brother finished speaking, Vander Decken IX shook his head, slowly raised his right hand and clenched it into a fist, and smiled:

"I don't want these rubbish!"
