He said affirmatively, "It definitely will, but to be honest, I don't really want them to come. Now that everyone has just defeated the Blackbeard Pirates, and Akira is also injured, the pirate crew is at a weak point. If we were to confront the Big Mom Pirates for our sake, the consequences..."
Although Jinbe didn't continue, Neptune understood. However, he was a little unhappy in his heart, because Jinbe's attitude made him dissatisfied. Now that it had reached the critical moment of Fish-Man Island's life and death, Jinbe's first consideration was not how to preserve Fish-Man Island, but the safety of the Whitebeard Pirates.
However, this emotion was only fleeting. As a king, he still had this amount of tolerance. More importantly, Fish-Man Island could only rely on Jinbe to get through the difficulties now. Without Jinbe, and with his little friendship with the Whitebeard Pirates, Akira would definitely not help him.
"Let's go, let's see what Big Mom Pirates' purpose is. I only hope that it's not the worst possibility we think."
Faced with the behemoth of the Big Mom Pirates, neither Neptune nor Jinbe had thought of resisting, because this was simply courting death. They just wanted to see the purpose of the Big Mom Pirates, and then discuss according to the purpose, and see if they could exchange the greatest benefit with the smallest price.
Under Jinbe's leadership, the entire Sun Pirates and the soldiers under Neptune had gathered at the pier of Fish-Man Island, because the ships of the Big Mom Pirates were about to dock here.
"They're here!"
Not long after Jinbe and the others arrived, they saw a huge, fancy pirate ship rapidly approaching from a distance.
After the pirate ship approached, everyone saw the specific appearance of the pirate ship. The decorations on the pirate ship were very strange. It looked like pieces of biscuits were pasted on it, which was completely different from ordinary ships.
"As expected, it's the Big Mom Pirates."
Seeing the pirate flag fluttering in the wind, Neptune's face was extremely ugly, because this Big Mom Pirates looked like they were coming with ill intentions. Fish-Man Island was already very chaotic. If the Big Mom Pirates were to intervene, then Fish-Man Island would be even more precarious.
"Da da da da..."
After the pirate ship docked, Jinbe and the others saw a large group of fierce-looking pirates gathered on the pirate ship. Although they didn't have as many people as them, they were all very imposing. At a glance, they knew that they were elite soldiers who had experienced hundreds of battles.
What made Jinbe's face even more tense was the heavy footsteps that came. These footsteps were extremely heavy, like the sound made by stomping on the ground with great force, causing the hearts of those fish-men with slightly weaker strength to tremble.
Originally, Jinbe was prepared to speak when the ship docked, but these footsteps made him hold back. His eyes were fixed on that pirate ship. He knew that the footsteps were made by the person with the highest status and position on the ship.
And Neptune, as the king, was leaning in the back, because his identity was, after all, the king, and he couldn't stand on the front line. But his tension was no less than Jinbe's. Compared to Jinbe, he had to think more.
Finally, the footsteps stopped, and then a tall figure appeared in front of Jinbe and the others. This tall figure stood on the pirate ship. Although there was a distance between them, his gaze was very amazing. It fell on Jinbe and the others, making them feel very uncomfortable.
"Knight of the Sea, Jinbe?"
In the end, that gaze stopped on Jinbe. Jinbe used to be a Shichibukai, and his exposure rate was not low. The Big Mom Pirates naturally had some understanding of him. It could be said that the person who needed the most attention in Fish-Man Island was Jinbe.
The other party recognized Jinbe, and Jinbe naturally recognized the other party as well. He opened his mouth and said, "One of the Sweet Commanders of the Big Mom Pirates, Biscuit Minister, Charlotte Cracker!"
A great pirate with a bounty of more than 800 million, there were not many in the entire New World. Jinbe could naturally recognize him. He didn't expect that the Big Mom Pirates would actually send Charlotte Cracker. He was a well-known combat personnel in the Big Mom Pirates. Sending him here meant that Big Mom had bad intentions.
Charlotte Cracker smiled when he saw Jinbe recognize him. He was extremely tall, wearing a helmet with a vertical mane crest, and a biscuit-decorated base horn on both sides of the helmet. He wore biscuit-like armor with black and white intermingling, and a belt with the letters BIS on it. He had a pointed and long beard, carried a huge greatsword, and wore a cloak. On his back was a large biscuit shield. He looked like a general.
"It's best that you can recognize me."
Charlotte Cracker carried the greatsword, and walked down from the pirate ship. Following him were a group of pirates. They walked to Jinbe and the others. Charlotte Cracker's gaze was only fixed on Jinbe from beginning to end. He didn't put Neptune in the back in his eyes at all. Although Neptune's status was higher, Jinbe was the most important person in his eyes.
"Our purpose for coming here today is very simple. We are under Mama's orders. From today onwards, Fish-Man Island is Mama's territory. With Mama's protection, no one will dare to mess around on Fish-Man Island again. But correspondingly, you must have a grateful heart for Mama's kindness. Mama is very interested in the desserts of your Fish-Man Island. Therefore, you must regularly hand over desserts to Mama."
Cracker was a combat faction, so he didn't talk nonsense like others, and directly stated his purpose.
However, when Jinbe and the others heard his words, their faces all became solemn. They understood that Big Mom had taken a fancy to the desserts of their Fish-Man Island. Charlotte Linlin's addicted to food was not a secret in the New World. It could be seen from his territory that everything was commanded by desserts and other things to eat. Even buildings and other things were related to desserts.
It was just that Jinbe didn't expect that the Big Mom Pirates would actually move so quickly, and directly came to their door without even saying hello in advance, catching them off guard.
"Big Mom wants our Fish-Man Island to submit?" Jinbe asked.
A cold light flashed in Charlotte Cracker's eyes, and he said coldly, "Jinbe, from today onwards, you must address Mama with respect. We all call her Mama, and you are no exception."
Cracker's words made Jinbe angry in his heart. He was also a well-known great pirate. Although his personality was relatively calm, he had his own pride after all. Being treated so impolitely by Cracker naturally made him angry.
"I'm sorry, our Fish-Man Island is still the territory of the Whitebeard Pirates."
Cracker said coldly, "I said, from today onwards, Fish-Man Island is Mama's territory."
Jinbe said firmly, "I also said, Fish-Man Island is the territory of the Whitebeard Pirates. Unless the captain of the Whitebeard Pirates takes the initiative to give up, we will not obey and be affiliated with other pirate crews."
"Are you trying to be enemies with our Big Mom Pirates? Knight of the Sea, Jinbe," Cracker threatened.
Jinbe said, "We have always had reverence for Big Mom, so how dare we be enemies with you? However, this place is indeed the territory of the Whitebeard Pirates. I think your Excellency wants to take this place, the captain of the Whitebeard Pirates should not know about it, right?"
Cracker shouted, "It's not up to the Whitebeard Pirates to approve of what we do. He's just a rising star. What does he count for in Mama's eyes?"
"Is that so? I also want to know, what do I count for in Big Mom's eyes?"
Suddenly, a cold voice came from the air. At the moment when this voice appeared, everyone present had a drastic change in expression, but only Jinbe revealed a look of ecstasy.
"Akira!"
The person who came was naturally Akira. Originally, with the speed of him taking a ship, it was impossible for him to get to Fish-Man Island so quickly. However, according to the information from Marco, he knew that the Big Mom Pirates were about to arrive at Fish-Man Island, so he directly used the flying Nikushōkyū, and flew towards Fish-Man Island at a straight line speed.
There were only two people on Nikushōkyū, one was Akira, and the other was Ace. At this time, Nikushōkyū slowly landed, and Akira and Ace also landed on the ground. During this process, their movements were not fast, but no one attacked them. Instead, their eyes were fixed on them, and there was no movement at all.
"Akira, Ace, why did you come in person?"
Seeing Akira and Ace, Jinbe was very excited, and also somewhat shocked. He had asked Marco for help, but he didn't expect that the people who came would actually be Akira and Ace.
Akira glanced at Charlotte Cracker, and then shifted his gaze to Jinbe, and said with a smile, "Old friends are in trouble, so we naturally can't sit idly by. Fortunately, it doesn't seem to be too late, otherwise, we might have to meet each other on the battlefield in the future. It's really lucky."
Akira's words were not alarmist, but if he had really come one step late, with Fish-Man Island's situation, they definitely wouldn't be able to resist the power of the Big Mom Pirates. At that time, they would definitely join the Big Mom Pirates, and in the end, they would definitely be opposed to each other for various reasons. Even if they didn't want to, it would be unavoidable.
Jinbe said excitedly, "Akira, this time, we're really troubling you. As long as you can help our Fish-Man Island get through this difficult time, even if we are shattered to pieces, we will repay you."
Akira could hear the excitement in Jinbe's heart. He patted Jinbe, and said, "Do you still need to be so polite with me? Besides, you are a member of our Whitebeard Pirates. How can we not help when our brothers are in trouble, right, Ace?"
Ace immediately nodded in response, "That's right, what the Captain said is right, Jinbe, you don't need to care too much."
