NOVEL NEXT Chapter 031
Chapter 31 Is the Shichibukai nothing?
Even though decades had passed and his gray hair had turned pure white, Jinbei could still recognize this face immediately.
Looking at the familiar smile on that face, the scene from decades ago came to mind again, and Jinbei’s expression became a little stiff.
If there was anyone in the world that he least wanted to see, Ron was definitely one of them.
Jinbei?
Ron, who was peeling an orange in his hand, didn’t expect to meet an”old acquaintance” here, and his face looked a little surprised.
And Luffy, who had been gearing up beside him for a long time, saw Aaron and the others who came out first, and immediately rushed over with a loud shout.
“Are you the dragon? I’m going to beat you away!”
But before Luffy could rush out, Ron’s cigarette rod stretched out in front of Luffy and stopped his movement.
Then under Luffy’s suspicious eyes, Ron smiled and said hello to Jinbe.
“Jinbei boy, what a coincidence.”
Ron’s voice sounded very gentle, but when it fell into Jinbei’s ears, it completely changed its tone.
Memories that he had hidden away for decades flashed in his mind like a slideshow at this moment.
At this moment, he seemed to see his young and frivolous self again, the powerlessness he felt when he faced Ron for the first time, and his miserable failure after overestimating his own capabilities.
Jinbe knew very well.
If Ron hadn’t deliberately betrayed him and spared his life, how could there be any Kaixia Jinbei in this world?
“What a coincidence… Lieutenant General Ron……”
Facing Ron’s greeting, Jinbe forced a smile and replied somewhat sarcastically.
As one of the King’s Seven Martial Arts, his tone at this moment was actually a little trembling?
Even Aaron and other fishmen couldn’t help but turn around and look at Jinbei strangely.
Something’s wrong……
Although, after Jinbei accepted the title of King Shichibukai, his reputation in the minds of low-level fish people like them was completely reduced.
But no matter what, that guy is also the next captain of the Sun Pirates appointed by Boss Tiger.
Apart from the shortcomings of compromising to humans and being their lackeys, in the hearts of these fishmen, Jinbei is still a real man who is not afraid of anything just like Boss Tiger.
Even when he was in the East China Sea, Aaron would occasionally hear from his fish-men brothers that when Jinbe went to the New World, he would not show any timidity even when facing a sea emperor like Whitebeard Kaido.
But now, when greeting the old human man, Jinbei had this reaction.
Peeling off a fresh and juicy orange and putting it into his mouth, Ron chuckled:”I can’t believe that decades have passed and you can still remember me, an old guy who has one foot in the coffin.””
Ron remembered that when he met Jinbe, he was about to retire.
At that time, Jinbei was just a young boy, full of youthfulness, and not at all as stable as he is now.
Not to mention the strength.
At that time, Jinbei, who was born in the Fishman Street, naturally had a strong hatred for humans like most of the fishmen, and challenged the strongest human beings everywhere.
However, Jinbei didn’t wait long for his arrogance on the sea before he met Ron, who was still the lieutenant general of the headquarters at the time.
As a Marine who carries justice, how could Ron allow this kid to act recklessly on the sea?
So, Ron simply beat up the fat blue guy.
Jinbei, who was just starting out, was no match for Ron Ichigo, who was still at the peak of his strength.
When facing Ron, Jinbe was completely helpless, not to mention fighting back vigorously.
Because Jinbe had not yet been put on a bounty at that time, and there was no bounty on him, and Ron, who was familiar with the plot of the original work, still had a good impression of the fat blue man.
So after giving Jinbei a severe lesson, he educated the kid and kicked him back into the sea.
After that, Ron also saw the news in the newspaper that Jinbe and Fisher Tiger formed the Sun Pirates.
The numbers behind the bounty increased, and in the end, he was even taken seriously by the World Government and recruited as one of the Seven Seas of Martial Arts under the King.
Of course, Ron didn’t care much about what happened next.
Because at that time, Ron was already a retired cadre and was retiring in Windmill Village.
loadAdv(7,3);
Unexpectedly, he had just left Windmill Village and was ready to rejuvenate, when he met Jinbe here.
Is it possible that there are new changes in the world line?
In Ron’s memory, Jinbei should still be in the honeymoon period with the Whitebeard Pirates at this time.
He still remembered that Jinbei was very close to his unfilial great-grandson Ace.
“Ron…Sir, why are you here?”
Jinbei took a deep breath, calmed down the throbbing in his heart, and asked.
In fact, the moment he saw Ron, Jinbei felt something was wrong.
But the little bit of luck in his heart still made him unable to help himself. He asked bravely.
Looking at the people greeting each other, Luffy was suddenly confused.
“Grandpa, do you know this fat blue guy?”
Luffy was full of doubts.
His great-grandfather had told him before when he was floating on the sea. The reason why they came to Cocoa West Village to eat was secondary. The main purpose was to help Cocoa West Village and the twenty nearby islands. The villagers solved the scourge of the Dragon Pirates.
The blue pupils of Nokiko who followed were also full of doubts.
Mr. Ron, how come you are so familiar with the fish-man?
You didn’t bother with Luffy and Nokiko, Ron En glanced at Aaron and the others beside Jinbei, and said with a faint smile:”Although I have retired for a long time, after all, I was once a navy. Why do you think I came here?
You can’t be here for tourism, right?”
Having said this, Ron looked at Jinbei again, with a playful expression on his face:”You appear here, do you want to use the identity of the King Shichibukai given to you by the World Government to stop me?”
The Shichibukai.
A treaty signed between the World Government and the seven great pirates entrenched in the Grand Line. A very important point in the treaty is that the navy cannot attack pirates with the identity of the Shichibukai without permission.
It’s just that……
What does the treaty signed by the World Government have to do with Ron?
“ah? Is this fat blue man the Shichibukai?”
Luffy was a little surprised.
Even though he has never been to the sea officially at this age, he can still see the words”King Shichibukai” in the newspaper. He also knows that on the sea, the Shichibukai are considered very powerful seamen. Thief.
However, when he mentioned the Shichibukai, Luffy thought of Ace. He couldn’t help but patted Ron on the shoulder and said with some disdain:”Grandpa, we don’t need to be afraid. It’s just the Shichibukai. This title is Brother Ace.” They are all too lazy to ask for it”
“You boy……”
Looking at Luffy’s vow, Ron felt a little bit dumbfounded.
What is his identity?
He was the founder of the modern navy. How could the Shichibukai be nothing in front of him?
Moreover, the Jinbei in front of him was once defeated by him.
Why should he be afraid?
“Mr. Ace?”
Hearing Luffy’s words, Jinbei frowned.
Only then did he observe Luffy next to Ron.
However, when he saw the unusually familiar straw hat hanging around Luffy’s neck, he felt like Yilin
