Taoist priest, who is so popular in One Piece

"I never thought that Lord Luffy would be willing to accept my broken body. How could I refuse?"

Jinbei sat up straight and said to Luffy with a serious face.

"You actually agreed to it like that!!!" Sanji complained again: "Are the Shichibukai also so willful?"

In fact, Jinbei was not being willful, but remembered what Whitebeard said before he left:

[I was unable to allow the people of Fishman Island to live openly on land.]

[But maybe those little ghosts can. ]

[If you have the chance, join the Straw Hat Pirates, Jinpei. Gulala! ]

If it were at the beginning, Jinbe might have considered it.

But after learning more about what the Straw Hat Pirates have done in this period and their connection with Starfire, Jinbe actually had similar ideas.

Just like why he likes to call Whitebeard Dad.

Sometimes, Jinbei is completely willing to join a better force for the sake of Fishman Island and his people.

In addition, Jinbe also directly increased his favorability towards the Straw Hat Pirates who dared to say no to slaves.

In fact, anyone who has ever experienced or understood slavery will be completely defenseless against the Straw Hat Pirates.

It's just that because of what happened to Arlong before, Jinbei has never dared to ask for it.

Now that Luffy, the captain, has spoken, Jinbe naturally expressed his feelings.

Thinking of this, Jinbei first responded to Sanji's complaint:

"Because of what happened to Brother Ace, I am no longer one of the Seven Warlords of the Sea. I may be wanted by the World Government again soon."

Then, Jinbei looked at Luffy and said seriously:

"My name is Jinpei, and I hope to join the Straw Hat Pirates. Although my broken body is not of much use, I believe I am qualified to be the helmsman."

"Just give me some time. Once I have dealt with the follow-up matters of Fishman Island and the Sun Pirates, I will officially become a member of the Straw Hat Pirates."

It has to be said that such "humble" words from one of the Seven Warlords of the Sea still touched everyone present.

And Luffy didn't hesitate at all, he nodded and said: "Yeah, sure."

To him, everything Jinbei said before didn't matter.

He just wanted to get the guy he liked on board.

"So you agreed to it!" Usopp looked at the scene in front of him and spoke helplessly.

Nami on the side said: "But this is Luffy, isn't it?"

Judging from her expression, she didn't seem to have any aversion to Jinbei coming on board.

The next thing was very simple. At Luffy's suggestion, everyone held a party again to welcome their new partner Jinbe.

At the banquet, everyone followed Jinbe's topic and started talking about their plans for the next three months.

Luffy decided to find Rayleigh to learn advanced knowledge about Conqueror's Haki.

Zoro decided to undergo special training again in the Rainbow Mist World.

Franky wants to go to the Mechanical Island to take a look.

Others haven’t made up their minds yet and plan to think about it carefully later.

Just like that, after the banquet ended, Jinbe said goodbye and left first, and everyone decided to go back to the tavern to rest for a day.

-

"Rayleigh! You're here too!"

Luffy walked into the tavern and saw Rayleigh sitting at the bar drinking. He greeted him enthusiastically.

"Oh, you're back. I just happened to have something here that might interest you."

Rayleigh turned to look at everyone and took out a newspaper from his pocket:

"The World Government's latest bounty on you has been announced."

Hearing Rayleigh's words, everyone was instantly excited.

Luffy stretched out his arm and grabbed the newspaper from Rayleigh's hand, and everyone gathered around him.

He looked at the eleven wanted posters sandwiched in the newspaper.

-

In the New World, next to an unnamed island, there is a pirate ship docked.

If a navy saw this ship, he would definitely recognize it at first sight.

This is the Red Force, the vehicle ridden by one of the Four Emperors of the New World, Red Hair Shanks.

On the island, a group of people were having a banquet and laughing loudly.

"Hey, hey, hey, cheers to the captain for being completely tricked by Luffy and his friends this time!!!"

The plump Laki Lu gnawed on ham, raised his glass high, and shouted happily.

"Oh!!! Cheers!!!" XN

"Captain, this time you are really embarrassing yourself, hahaha."

"That's right, he was so handsome at first and led us to maintain the balance, but what happened in the end? Hahaha!"

After everyone drank, they all started complaining.

It's just that they don't look very good now.

Some were even wrapped in bandages.

Come to think of it, the Red Hair Pirates had just fought a battle with two of the Four Emperors pirate groups a few days ago.

Of course, this is also the reason why the crew laughed at the captain.

After all, after they had tried so hard to block Kaido and Big Mam, they found that the sea not only did not restore its previous balance, but became even more out of control.

Especially in the New World, the level of chaos has increased by more than a little in just a few days.

And the culprits who brought shame to their Captain Shanks were none other than the Straw Hat Pirates.

For a moment, the island was filled with a happy atmosphere.

"Really? These guys didn't give me, the captain, any respect at all."

At the center of the banquet, Shanks, who was also drinking and eating meat, complained.

"But I see you seem very happy, Shanks."

Beside him, Ben Beckman spoke calmly while smoking a cigar.

"Oh? Is it so obvious?" Shanks was not at all embarrassed by being exposed.

Ben Beckman looked at the eight teeth that Shanks had been showing since just now and couldn't help rolling his eyes.

You have been laughing since just now and have never stopped.

"Of course I am happy."

Just when Ben Beckman wanted to complain, Shanks suddenly spoke.

At this moment, a little boy seemed to appear again in front of Shanks, the boy to whom he had handed the straw hat personally.

"I thought that before Luffy fully grows up, I will still need to do my best to maintain the balance of the sea, and we will still need your guidance."

Shanks raised his head and looked at Beckman with a relieved smile: "It seems that Luffy and his companions have embarked on a new path now."

“It’s their path.”

...

Just as Shanks was sighing, there was a sudden commotion not far away.

"Hey, hey, hey, come and see!"

A crew member waved a newspaper in his hand and shouted, "The latest bounty for the Straw Hat Pirates has been released."

When the others heard this, they gathered around excitedly.

Even though they were crew members of the Four Emperors' pirate group, they were still curious at this moment.

What kind of bounty will the Straw Hat Pirates have?

And at this moment, similar scenes are happening in every corner of the ocean.
