Chapter 655 Hunting Plan, Fresh Bait! (Two in One)

Since the New Navy took Fishman Island as its own territory, there has never been a large-scale chaos in the core area of ​​Fishman Island.

However, the appearance of the Straw Hat Pirates has set such a precedent for Fishman Island.

In the past, the pirates who landed on Fool's Island only dared to settle in the sparsely populated marginal towns, and did not dare to run wild on Fishman Island at all. After all, no rational person wants to be targeted by a behemoth like the New Navy.

The New Navy can be widely recognized by the public as a "royal" force, not relying on word-of-mouth reputation, but the big pirates who fell into the hands of the New Navy one after another.

The dead big pirates laid the foundation for the reputation of the New Navy, and it is precisely because of the existence of these precedents that Fishman Island can maintain broad stability and develop steadily to this day.

The battle between Luffy, Seraph and Jinpei was very loud, and the several violent explosions in the center of the city had already attracted many people to watch.

The pirates who sneaked onto Fishman Island all liked to be lively. In less than half a day, the information about the Straw Hat Pirates had spread widely.

"Have you heard? The New Navy failed in the pursuit of the Straw Hat Pirates, and the base commander Jinbei here was seriously injured!"

"."

"Have you heard? The big boss of the Straw Hat Pirates destroyed the branch of the New Navy and killed Vice Admiral Jinbei!"

"."

"Have you heard? The Straw Hat Pirates wanted to take Fishman Island for themselves, and now they have entered Ryugu Castle, and Neptune's family has been killed!"

Rumors about the Straw Hat Pirates spread widely on Fishman Island. This rumor not only spread more and more widely, but also became more and more exaggerated, and it has completely lost its authenticity.

The people who heard these rumors had no way to distinguish the truth from the false, but they could sense the seriousness and tension of the New Navy who usually patrolled the streets.

Regardless of whether the rumors are true or not, one thing is certain: there really was a shocking change on Fishman Island. A big pirate fought with the new navy and retreated smoothly.

It is precisely because of this that the new navy imposed martial law and stepped up the inspection of strange travelers and merchants.

A tense mood quietly spread on Fishman Island.

And the pirates who learned of this news were also ready to move.

These pirates are not good guys. The reason why they chose to keep a low profile after landing on Fishman Island is only because of the terrifying strength of the new navy.

Now Jinbei, the most powerful combat force of the Fishman Island Navy Branch, is suspected to be seriously injured. For these pirates, it is a good time to plunder this rich island.

Fishman Island is so big that as long as the pirates can do things cleanly and quickly leave Fishman Island after making a fortune, even the new navy may not be able to find their whereabouts.

In their opinion, the new navy should have been overwhelmed by the Straw Hat Pirates, and now all its attention should be focused on tracking down the Straw Hat Pirates.

This is indeed the case.

After returning to the branch base, Jinbei not only asked for help from the headquarters, but also sent his subordinates to search for the traces of the Straw Hat Pirates.

While he was handling official business, the military doctor on the island also carefully examined his arms and gave a negative result.

"Vice Admiral Jinbei, your arm injury is very serious and you must undergo surgery as soon as possible. Only in this way can you recover."

"If you delay any further, your hands will be completely useless!"

After arranging the tasks for his subordinates, Jinbei even wanted to lead his team to hunt down the Straw Hat Pirates. In his opinion, those "weak" subordinates would face huge risks even if they found the whereabouts of the Straw Hat Pirates.

But he was different. Even if his arms could not be used for fighting, Jinbei's strength was far beyond that of ordinary fish-man navy.

More importantly, only by leading the team in person could Jinbei's heart be a little calmer.

The senior leaders of the new navy trusted him so much that they handed over the safety of Fish-Man Island to him. Jinbei, who was full of responsibility, did not want to disappoint his partners.

He had made up his mind to protect the peace of Fish-Man Island with his own life. In order to prevent the Straw Hat Pirates from entering the New World smoothly and causing greater harm, he would not hesitate to lose his life.

"If it's useless, it's useless!"

"If I can't keep the Straw Hat Pirates on Fish-Man Island, won't I have a greater responsibility?"

"If I let them enter the New World smoothly and let them make a fuss in the New World, wouldn't that mean my failure?!"

Jinbei was a stubborn person. Even the persuasion of the military doctor was useless.

The military doctor naturally understood that he had no way to persuade Jinbei, but fortunately, in the new navy, the management system of military doctors was different from that of ordinary new navy, and they had their own leaders.

Realizing that his persuasion could not bring Jinbei back, the military doctor also adopted a roundabout strategy and chose to report the situation here to his superiors.

Since his words could not persuade Jinbei, then let someone who could persuade him come.

Not long after Jinbei led the team to leave the base, Zefa, who was far away in Wano, had already learned the news and called Jinbei directly.

Jinbei, who had just found a trace of the Straw Hat Pirates, was about to follow the intelligence and lead his men to the direction of the Fishman Forest. Before he could leave the town, the contact phone in his arms rang. Shark Star, who was traveling with him, took out a Den Den Mushi from Jinbei's arms and handed it to his ear. Zephyr's roar rang out from the receiver:

"Jinbei! Do you know what you are doing, you bastard?"

"What impact will delaying treatment have on your future? Don't you care at all?!"

"Now! Immediately! Get back to the base for surgery!"

Zeffer's voice was full of energy. In addition to Zeeffer's roar, Jinbei could also hear the sound of waves.

Zeffer, who called him, seemed to be at sea, and the wind and waves were not small.

After a brief hesitation, Jinbei's expression became extremely firm:

"I know what it means, it's nothing more than losing both arms."

"But. I will never let that group of people enter the new world smoothly."

"Mr. Zephyr, the group of people in the Straw Hat Pirates are really very powerful. Captain Straw Hat Luffy is suspected to be an awakened animal-type devil fruit ability user. I am not his opponent at all. I was defeated in just one encounter."

"Conservatively speaking, even the admiral of the headquarters may not be able to defeat the opponent."

"If such a person appears in the new world, it will have a very big impact on our new navy's plan."

Jinbei is rational. He will naturally not go to the Straw Hat Pirates recklessly, because he knows very well that his strength is simply not enough to compete with that Straw Hat Pirates.

But under this ten thousand meter deep sea, Jinbei as a fishman also has an advantage. Even if he loses both arms, Jinbei is confident that he can keep the Straw Hat Pirates on Fishman Island and make them unable to leave.

Hearing this, Zefa obviously understood what Jinbei meant. Speaking of Luffy, he was a little speechless for a while.

In a way, Luffy can be said to be brought up by him. Now seeing Luffy on the opposite side of the new navy, Zefa's mood is also very complicated.

The child he raised seriously injured the loyal Jinbei and killed the new navy stationed on Fishman Island. No matter how deep the relationship between Zefa and Luffy is, it is not easy for him to protect Luffy at this time.

And Zefa himself has no intention of protecting Luffy. When talking with Jinbei, Zefa's heart is full of guilt.

He feels that it is because he did not educate Luffy well that Jinbei was seriously injured.

At the same time, in Zefa's heart, he is also a little proud, that is, because Luffy's growth rate is far beyond his expectations. He did not expect that the young Luffy can easily defeat the powerful new navy like Jinbei.

But the joy and pride will eventually be overwhelmed by the bitterness in his heart.

"You"

Due to his inner guilt, Zefa really couldn't go against Jinbei's wishes at this time. To some extent, Zefa and Jinbei are the same kind of people, and he can understand what Jinbei is thinking now.

"Jinbei."

"You guys, you overestimate the enemy and underestimate our new navy."

"It's just a young man, how could it affect the plan of our new navy?"

At this time, a familiar voice came from the other end of the phone.

Jinbei was stunned when he heard this voice, and his face showed confusion.

He was very familiar with this voice, but he hadn't heard it for many, many years.

And didn't the owner of this voice die long ago? !

"This voice."

"You you are"

Jinbei's mouth moved, his face full of disbelief.

"What? Can't you even recognize my voice? Jinbei"

At this time, Tsugikoku Yoriichi was standing on the bow deck with Zefa, the sea breeze was howling, but his voice could be clearly transmitted into the microphone of Den Den Mushi.

"Jinbei, Zephyr and I will handle this matter, you should recover first."

"The Fishman Island Navy Branch still needs you to take charge of the overall situation, and there are still many battles waiting for us."

"The new navy cannot do without you, Jinbei."

Tsukuni Yoshiichi spoke gently, and Jinbei felt a strong sense of familiarity when he heard this. He finally confirmed who the owner of this voice was.

"You are not dead!!"

Jinbei's eyes even became a little moist when he said this in his excitement.

"Okay, I'll go back right away!"

Although he didn't get a reply from the Den Den Mushi, Jinbei changed his mind at this moment and nodded repeatedly.

If it was Tsukuni Yoshiichi who returned, then he really didn't need such great pressure.

Tsukuni Yoshiichi, who was able to survive the world-destroying attack that destroyed the Kingdom of Alabasta, was simply the synonym of invincibility in Jinbei's mind.

Even a strong pirate like Straw Hat Luffy would probably find it difficult to make a wave in front of Tsukuni Yoshiichi.

"Take care of yourself, we will be at Fishman Island soon."

After saying this, Ji Kuni hung up the phone. Zefa also heard from the phone that Jinbei had changed his mind, and he couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief. His originally tense expression finally revealed a little smile:

"You still said it's useful!"

Zefar sighed, secretly feeling lucky.

At least Jinbei didn't lose his arms because of Luffy, which is a good thing.

"Yuichi, if you run into the Straw Hat Pirates, how do you plan to deal with those young people?"

Zeff, who was just worried about Jinbei's safety, soon became worried about Luffy. Although he didn't mean to protect Luffy and others, out of emotional considerations, Zephyr didn't want to see Luffy die in the hands of Yoriichi Tsugakukoku.

That was the bloodline of his old friend Garp left in this world.

If possible, he didn't want Luffy to die in the hands of Yoriichi Tsugakukoku.

"How to deal with them?!"

"Since they have already done it, they should have made up their minds."

As if he noticed Zephyr's expression, Tsukuni Yoshiichi finished speaking, thought for a moment, and added:

"If those children have irreplaceable value for our new navy's next plan, I will think about how to deal with them again."

"Our new navy can accommodate Mihawk, Abel, who was a pirate before, and others!"

In just a few minutes, Tsukuni Yoshiichi had already imagined a series of plans around Luffy.

Under Zephyr's slightly puzzled gaze, Tsukuni Yoshiichi smiled slightly.

One day later.

The news about the crew of the Straw Hat Pirates making trouble on Fishman Island began to be delivered to the public around the world through the propaganda machine of Morgans.

At the same time, a long-range photo of Luffy's Nika form also appeared on the front page of the newspaper.

Captain of the Straw Hat Pirates, Straw Hat Luffy, bounty of 1 billion Baileys.

The new navy has completely updated the bounty order of the Straw Hat Pirates. With the help of the propaganda machine, Luffy's name soon resounded throughout the first half of the Grand Line.

Holy Land.

In a dim bunker, a candlelight suddenly lit up.

In the dim house, a newspaper was brought close to the candlelight, and the pale yellow flame illuminated the words on the newspaper.

After a long time, a slightly deep female voice sounded in the darkness:

"Nika has appeared!"

"Put aside the matter of tracking down the attackers first, and solve this matter first!"

As soon as the voice fell, a response sounded in the dim room, and after a while, footsteps sounded, and it was getting farther and farther away.

The appearance of Nika Luffy did not just affect the nerves of the new navy.

Some people attach much more importance to the existence of Nika Luffy than the new navy.

Navy Headquarters.

Sengoku, who had not contacted the Holy Land for a long time, actually received an order from the Holy Land on this day.

This is a "simple" escort mission, ordering the Navy Headquarters to send an admiral to escort a ship.

Similar missions have been carried out countless times in the history of the Navy Headquarters.

But Sengoku understands that this mission is different from the previous ones.

Because the destination is the territory of the New Navy - Fishman Island!

"Nikka."

"I didn't expect it to be Luffy."

"This is a big trouble."

After hanging up the phone, Sengoku muttered to himself, then grabbed the Den Den Mushi and found the admiral who was going to carry out this mission - Magellan.
