Chapter 202: Let us go!
Still staring at Nami, who had grown depressed, Shinra decided to comfort her. "At least, look positively at the Seven Warlords of the Seas."
"...is there anything positive about pirates?" Nami asked speechlessly.
Shinra rolled his eyes at Nami's question and asked, "Aren't you a pirate?"
"..." Nami.
Shinra wasn't wrong, but instead of being a pirate, Nami felt like she was an adventurer, and she was sure that if she said that, Luffy would get angry, as they had labeled themselves as a pirate, and she also had chosen to become one.
At the same time, Nami also couldn't get angry at Shinra since she knew that he had just made his decision based on the choices that were presented to him.
After all, Shinra's choices were only two!
If Shinra were a noble, would he have to do this?
This was the tragedy of the peasant, Nami sighed.
"..." Shinra, Robin, and Carina.
"Wait, you are about to make a family? What do you mean?" Nami quickly realized something.
"I am pregnant," Carina said.
"Me too," Robin added.
"..." Nami.
Shinra was calm, as calm as the Calm Belt, the unmoving ocean, yet deep under the calm surface, a scene of carnage existed.
Still, for the strong, it was possible to do anything, and because of that, even if one thought that it was impossible, legal pirates existed.
"So, why did you say that those Seven Warlords of the Sea were positive?" Nami asked with doubt and decided to ignore the parts that Shinra had made Robin and Carina pregnant.
"Well, Crocodile and Doflamingo aside, those two are either killed or caught on the Impel Down—"
"Ah, that's right! Who was that bastard who conspired and put all the blame on the Arabasta Kingdom on us?!"
"...." Shinra was silent under the stare of Robin and Carina.
Still, when Nami thought of how they were blamed for the wrongs that they had never done, of course, she was angry.
"At least, your captain's bounty is high. I am sure he is happy."
Shinra had always been positive, and he looked at everything from a good perspective that everyone ignored.
"....." Nami.
Well, Shinra wasn't wrong since Luffy was happy, which made Nami feel helpless.
Still, Shinra didn't need to tell the tales of Crocodile and Doflamingo since Nami was familiar and up-to-date with the news, so she knew those two, who were killed and caught in Impel Down.
"What about the other five?"
"The other five?"
"Now that you mention it, can you tell us about those five other Seven Warlords of the Seas?" Robin was also curious.
"Okay." Shinra didn't mind and told each of them. "Let's start with Kuma."
"Kuma?"
"The Tyrant, Kuma. It was said that he destroyed a kingdom, the king, nobles, and most of the population before becoming the tyrant of that kingdom somewhere in the South Blue."
"....." Everyone.
"What about the rest?"
"Let's see..." Shinra thought for a moment and said, "Oh, the strongest swordman, Dracule Mihawk."
"Ah, I have seen this one before!" Nami quickly said.
"Really?"
"Yup." Nami nodded. "Zoro, I mean our swordsman, if you are not unfamiliar..." Yet, she couldn't help but sigh since even if Zoro was one of the strongest among the Straw Hat Pirates, in front of Shinra?
Hehehe.
"He was slashed with a small knife and defeated."
"....."
"R-Really? Zoro was?" Chopper was dumbfounded.
"Yes."
Nami nodded, and Shinra said, "That's not surprising. Mihawk is the strongest among the Seven Warlords of the Seas, and his might is comparable to that of the Four Emperors and admirals."
"..." Everyone.
"What did he do that he became a criminal?"
What kind of crimes did someone as strong as Mihawk commit?
"Slaying many Marines to hone his swordsmanship."
"..." Everyone.
"Now, he has become the strongest, and all he wishes is to live a peaceful life. Thus, he became one of the legal pirates of the World Government."
"...." Everyone.
"...next one?"
"The next one is the Knight of the Sea, Jinbe. Why did he become a pirate? It was because of saving the crews from his previous pirate ship, which was led by Fisher Tiger."
Now, they understood why Jinbe was called a knight since, like a knight, despite being a pirate, he was righteous.
"Who is this Fisher Tiger?"
Still, they didn't know who Fisher Tiger was and how this man made such a powerful fish-man submit.
"He was the one who released all the slaves of the Celestial Dragons and burnt the Mary Geoise in the past."
"..." Everyone.
Now, they understood why Jinbe followed Fisher Tiger.
"How is Fisher Tiger now?"
"Died." Shinra's answer was simple. "What did you expect? Do you think Fisher Tiger lived well? That guy doesn't have the Marine Hero as the grandpa."
"..." Everyone.
Was this sarcasm?
Yes, this was sarcasm, yet it was because of Luffy's background that he was okay.
What if it were someone else?
Dying by peeling their skin slowly definitely wasn't enough, as they would be tormented further before being displayed to the public after what they had done to the Celestial Dragon.
"Let's go to the next one!"
"The next one is Gecko Moria. Still, you don't have to think too much about him."
"Why?"
"Because he is a shut-in."
"...." Everyone.
Unlike the rest of the pirates that were mobile, moving from one place to hunt before returning to their base, Moria only stayed in a place, rooting, without moving, like a shut-in.
So, as long as one didn't visit Moria's base, which was located on the Florian Triangle, they wouldn't move Moria at all, so there was no need to think too much about him.
"So, let's move on to the last one."
"Oh, I know this one." Carina stared at Shinra deeply. "The most beautiful woman in the world, Boa Hancock, right?"
Yes, it was correct, Shinra thought, yet why did they have to stare at him like that?
What did he do?
"It was said that Boa Hancock lived on the Amazon Lily." Robin smiled charmingly. "The island of the maiden, where all of the inhabitants are women. Isn't that place interesting, Shinra?"
Taking a deep breath, Shinra embraced Robin and Carina as he whispered to them softly. "No matter how beautiful Boa Hancock is, in my mind, you two are more beautiful."
"Oh..." 2x
"....." Nami.
"Baby 5, you are also more beautiful than Boa Hancock!"
"...." Nami.
Then again, Nami was curious about one thing. "Why did the World Government have to invite all of those strong pirates here?"
"It's because they want their power to help them in the upcoming war."
"Upcoming war?"
"You might not hear it, but the World Government had caught the second division captain of the Whitebeard Pirates, Portgas D. Ace, and they plan to publicly execute him—"
"To increase the prestige of the Marines and the World Government, right?" Nami snorted, knowing what the World Government and the Marines planned. "You are really good at playing with the media!" Still, she also understood that by doing this, it would mean that the pirates would fear the Marines more, and by then, hopefully, it would reduce the spark that had happened due to Gold Roger's declaration that had made the world into a chaotic, hellish place.
"But... was he worth it? I mean... he is just the second division captain of the Whitebeard Pirates, right? Isn't it better to catch Whitebeard himself and publicly execute him like that King of Pirates, Gold Roger?" Nami asked.
"Oh, he is."
"Really? Was this Ace guy worth so much that there was a need for this stun? Moreover, would the Whitebeard Pirates come to help this guy? After all, the comradeship of the pirates... You know it, right?" It was already amazing if the pirates didn't kill each other.
"Yup." Shinra nodded. "After all, he is the only son of the King of Pirates, Gold Roger."
"..." Everyone.
"Oh, by the way, he is also the brother of your captain, Luffy."
"..." Everyone.
"WHAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAATTTT?!"
Without a doubt, this news dumbfounded Nami and Chopper, yet on Impel Down, Luffy knew nothing about Ace and looked at his grandfather, Garp, as he shouted, "GRANDPA, LET US GO FROM THIS PLACE!"
"...."
As Luffy's shout echoed, Garp could feel all the eyes in this prison were on him.
