If I don't intervene, given the amount of blood he's lost, most people probably wouldn't be able to save him!
"Rein-san, Rein-san, please wait!! Please wait!" At this moment, an anxious voice came from outside.
This was accompanied by commotion on the streets outside.
"King Neptune has arrived at the Third Street of the Fishmen!"
"What happened!?"
"I heard that Boss Jinbe is seriously injured! Look at all that blood in the street, it's all from Boss Jinbe!"
"What?! Who injured Boss Jinbe?!"
"He wasn't injured by someone. I heard that Arlong and his gang from Fishman Island went to the mainland and killed humans, so they came looking for him. Boss Jinbe did this to protect Fishman Island!"
"Is the newcomer that powerful? Even Jinbe..."
"But humans have killed our fish-men before!"
……
"Hmph, what a useless guy! He thinks he's worthy of being the boss of Fishman Street?! So what if he killed a human? If he dares to come to Fishman Island, we'll kill him! This is our territory!" Hody Jones, dressed as a soldier, couldn't help but say coldly after learning about the situation from his friends in Fishman Street.
But now he's just a lowly soldier responsible for the royal family's external security.
King Neptune has gone to negotiate with the humans!
"I really hope they fight!" Hody Jones said with a morbid longing!
King Neptune arrived at the door in haste with only two soldiers.
However, Ace and Sabo stopped them, and Reinson didn't say they could come in.
Even the ruler of a country cannot enter without Renn's permission.
“Let him in. It’s been a long time, Neptune…” Ryan said calmly.
“Lord Raine, I just learned about Arlong’s gang. I am deeply sorry for the trouble and disaster he has caused you. But Jinbe is innocent. I believe that if Jinbe knew that Arlong would do all sorts of evil things after leaving, he would not have exchanged him from Impel Down. Please, for Newgate’s sake, be lenient with him,” Neptune pleaded hastily.
Because he could already see that Jinbe's condition was very bad.
"Hmph, Whitebeard really doesn't know how to keep his distance. I'm a Marine Inspector, after all. It's one thing for Jinbe to know about our little relationship, but even you know about it... and you even used his name to ask me for help."
“No, no, Newgate really likes Reinson, that’s why he shows off to us friends. He definitely doesn’t mean to cause you any trouble,” King Neptune quickly said.
[Golden Lion #1: Oh~]
[Kaido #1: I see.]
[Red-Haired Shanks #1: I never expected Whitebeard to brag about his relationship with Renne in front of his other friends!]
[Whitebeard #1: I didn't, don't talk nonsense!!]
[Rocks #2: Those who know, know; no further explanation needed!]
[Kaido #2: That's right!]
[Whitebeard #2: You're all from different worlds, what are you meddling in? You don't know anything!]
At this time, of course Whitebeard would defend Whitebeard!
"No, Lord Neptune, Arlong and the others were once my men. Someone should bear the consequences of their mistakes!" But Jinbe didn't think so. He believed that it was already a good deal if only he died in this matter.
If none of them die, what if he turns around and targets Fishman Island again?
Jinbe can't forget what Whitebeard once said!
You can offend anyone, but you absolutely cannot offend a monster named Raine, or you might not even know how you died!
It even mentioned the fall of the legendary pirate Rocks during the God Valley War!
It is also inextricably linked to him!
"Jinbe, shut up!! Lord Rein... we've been on quite good terms, is there really no room for negotiation on this matter? The Arlong gang, who committed the crimes, are already dead. Jinbe is now a vital force protecting Fishman Island. If he dies, many innocent fishmen will be harmed!"
"Although Newgate's reputation provides protection, the sins committed in the shadows have never truly disappeared."
King Neptune continued to plead for him.
"Alright, alright. I know what kind of person Jinbe is. He's just here to get an attitude. Since the attitude is acceptable, let's just let this matter go," Rein said, waving his hand.
The real issues involving interests always happen after everything else has passed.
That's the best way to explain things; if you explain it too clearly, you won't be able to grasp their psychology!
After this incident, and to reiterate briefly at the end, it was not only Jinbe who had to protect his business!
Even Neptune's royal army could be mobilized to some extent!
After all, pleading for leniency sometimes comes at a price!
Upon hearing this, both Jinbe and King Neptune were stunned!
Is this all over? Is it really that simple?
“Rain-san, you… why don’t you make a request? As long as it’s not too outrageous, I’d even take your life.” Neptune was somewhat uneasy when he saw that Rain had readily agreed to his plea.
Are we going to settle the score later?
It's better to end it now, so as to avoid living in anxiety in the final days.
“Neptune, what do you mean? I didn’t agree, so you pleaded desperately. I agreed, but you’re still uneasy. I’m not some prehistoric beast. In the end, the dragon didn’t cause me any real damage; it just scared my little friends a bit… Otherwise, this matter wouldn’t have been so easily resolved!”
"He actually attacked a child!! That bastard Arlong!!!" Jinbe was even more incredulous upon hearing this!
"Alright, alright, let's just let this matter rest. Don't make me say it a third time. If you really care, just help keep an eye on the safety of the Irons Merchant Guild on Fishman Island."
"Absolutely! Thank you for your magnanimity, Lord Renn!" Neptune thanked him repeatedly, seeing that Renn truly had no intention of pursuing the matter further.
"Thank you for your magnanimity, Lord Rein!" Jinbe hadn't expected Rein to spare his life!
It seems he doesn't intend to take his anger out on Fishman Island, and Whitebeard never said he was a cruel person!
However... we need to impose more restrictions on fish people in the future.
Regardless of how others treat them, the most important thing for those on our side is to do their own job well!
We must never again kill innocent people indiscriminately!
"Tonight I'm hosting a banquet for you all in the Dragon Palace. Please allow us to express our apologies!" Neptune invited, his eyes fixed intently on Renn.
If Renn doesn't agree, they'll probably continue to be anxious!
"Just have someone pick you up when it's time... But you blue fatso, you're still not careful enough. When you came over looking like that, didn't you think that if you really died here, the conflict between fishmen and humans would escalate again?"
Rein looked at Jinbe helplessly!
But there was also admiration in his eyes; knowing what kind of person he was was one thing.
But seeing what someone like him does is another matter entirely.
"I...I didn't think that much just now!" Rein's reminder made Jinbe break out in a cold sweat!
My actions could very well cause other fish-men to develop fear and distrust of humans!
Even the autograph that Princess Otohime has finally managed to obtain over the years might fail again!
In that case, I might become the biggest sinner.
"You seem to have underestimated your standing among the fish-men. Perhaps you've always treated them as equals, but to most fish-men, you've already been deified! Watch your words and actions from now on." Raine stepped forward, pulled the longsword from Jinbe's body, and caused a massive amount of blood to flow instantly!
"Reinhardt!!" King Neptune was startled upon seeing this, as Jinbe's situation was already quite dire.
Without a doctor to treat the injury, with such a large amount of bleeding, Jinbe will die!
"Don't worry, he won't die." Rein raised his hand, and a emerald green light shone down, causing Jinbe's wounds to heal rapidly at a visible speed!
His complexion then returned to normal!
“Thank you, Your Excellency Raine!” Neptune said quickly.
"I am unworthy of this!" Jinbe felt somewhat ashamed. Arlong and the others had caused so much trouble for them, and now not only had they not punished him, they had even healed his injuries.
This magnanimity is no less than, and no less than, that of Whitebeard!
No wonder he's a man even his father admires!
"We await His Excellency Raine's arrival in the Dragon Palace!" King Neptune said respectfully.
Then he left with Jinbe.
"Is that all?" Sabo asked, somewhat confused.
“When communicating with smart people, just mention it briefly; there’s no need to be too direct. They know what to do. But then again, if the conflict between humans and fish-men escalates, it will indeed have a significant impact on our business…” Renn planned to intervene in what was about to happen.
"I understand."
Night fell quickly, and the Dragon Palace was brightly lit, with a lavish banquet and graceful dancing...
Ace, Luffy, and Sabo are all at an age where they are growing and have huge appetites. The three of them devoured the banquet!
Aside from Sabo being a little more reserved, Luffy and Ace were completely oblivious to their image and feasted heartily!
Queen Otohime, six-year-old Princess Shirahoshi, and all the princes were also present at the banquet!
Six-year-old Princess Shirahoshi curiously looked at Raine!
Looking down at Renn, although she was only 6 years old, she was already quite big!
