Looking at the face that was even younger than Ace's, Jinbe's understanding was clearly subverted.
However, Jinbe quickly noticed his gaffe, coughed, and hurriedly changed the subject.
"There isn't much time left before Brother Marco arrives. I'll finish the deal with you first and explain Fish-Man Combat to you."
Kai didn't refuse this suggestion. Having one more skill to protect himself was always a good thing.
Moreover, possessing Fish-Man Combat in this vast sea was clearly more advantageous.
As Jinbe explained, Kai's brows also furrowed. He combined these key points with the Fish-Man Combat he had seen just now.
It could be said that Kai, who had stayed in two worlds, was no longer an ignorant youth.
As Jinbe explained, various moves that matched the explanation already appeared in his mind.
By the time he reacted, a series of ethereal system prompts had already rung out in his mind.
"Ding-dong, congratulations to the host for learning Fish-Man Karate. Do you want to immediately one-key max level?"
"Ding-dong, congratulations to the host for learning Tile True Fist. Do you want to immediately one-key max level?"
"Ding-dong, congratulations to the host for learning..."
The series of system prompts sounded like a symphony in Kai's mind.
Not caring about how many moves he had learned, Kai moved his thoughts and directly issued the order.
"All of them, immediately one-key max level!"
"Ding-dong, congratulations to the host for successfully one-key max leveling Fish-Man Karate."
"Ding-dong, congratulations to the host for successfully one-key max leveling Tile True Punch."
"Ding-dong, congratulations to the host..."
The series of prompts rang out again, but this time, they were clearly mixed with a large amount of information, giving Kai a feeling of dizziness.
At the same time, a dozen nautical miles away from the deserted island.
A huge pirate ship was rapidly approaching, riding the waves.
If people saw the pirate flag that was fluttering in the wind, they would definitely gasp.
This was the Whitebeard Pirates, who were known as the strongest among the Four Emperors, actually appearing in the first half of the Grand Line.
"Pops, it seems like we'll be arriving at the deserted island where Jinbe is soon. Do you think Ace will join us?" Marco glanced at the Vivre Card fragment in his hand, which was reacting more and more violently, and couldn't help but turn his head and ask.
"Marco, are you questioning Pops' confidence? Be careful or we'll tie you up and throw you into the sea!"
Thatch, the commander of the 4th division, who had a pompadour hairstyle and was wearing a sailor suit, took the lead in teasing.
"Thatch is right. Marco is underestimating Pops' prestige. How could a mere rookie not submit?"
"Don't forget, Pops is the strongest existence on this sea. That kid must have had his eyes blinded by lard to dare to challenge Pops!"
The scene suddenly became lively.
It could be said that in their eyes, as long as they weren't idiots, they would never do something crazy like challenging a Four Emperor.
"Alright, you've each said a sentence. Does Pops still have the right to speak? I heard that Impel Down was destroyed a few days ago, and even the prisoners in the sixth level, Infinite Hell, escaped." Marco rolled his eyes at them and changed the topic.
"Mm!" Whitebeard tilted his head back and drank a mouthful of alcohol, saying, "I've also heard about this."
"However, I'm determined to get Ace. Even if I have to tie him onto the ship, it's a must."
"Pops is right. If he's unwilling, we'll just tie him onto the ship. If he still dares to be disrespectful to Pops, we'll definitely educate him on how to behave. Of course, this education requires fists!" Vista said jokingly, his handlebar mustache twitching.
As these words fell, they immediately caused everyone to agree.
Marco helplessly rolled his eyes at them and said, "Alright, stop making a fuss. That kid is also considered outstanding among the rookies."
"If it was when you were the same age, who would have a bounty of 400 million? And that's still in the first half of the Grand Line."
A bounty of 400 million might not be too outstanding in the New World.
But if you factored in the age and the time they had been at sea, it was enough to show how excellent they were.
"By the way, have you guys noticed recently? Among those escapees, there seems to be an unknown person, called something like Skeletal Demon. I haven't heard of him on the sea." Jozu suddenly looked at Whitebeard and said.
"Pops, is that someone from your era? Being able to lead such a jailbreak, being defined as the mastermind of the jailbreak by the Marine Headquarters and even the World Government, that's not simple, right?"
"I heard that his bounty is now 350 million!"
As these words fell, everyone's gazes all locked onto Whitebeard.
After all, many people were interested in a stranger who had suddenly risen to prominence from an unknown origin.
"Skeletal Demon?" Whitebeard frowned, casually took a sip of sake, and still shook his head, saying, "No, there's no such person in my memory."
"None?" Vista spoke first, saying, "Since even Pops said there isn't, I think the Marine Headquarters or the World Government must be worried that Impel Down was destroyed, causing a large number of escapees, so they specifically pushed someone out as a scapegoat."
"If I'm not mistaken, this guy will soon be captured by the World Government, and then they'll boast about their great achievements, even the mastermind of the jailbreak has been captured, and a conspiracy has been thwarted."
As these words fell, they immediately caused many people in the room to nod in agreement.
They had dealt with the Marines a lot and were very clear about what tricks and methods they had.
"Alright, stop discussing it here." Whitebeard waved his hand and said, "Anyway, my goal this time is just that kid Ace. Marco, go see how much time is left before we arrive."
Faced with the son of his old rival, thinking that he could make him call him Pops, that feeling was unusually satisfying.
"Pops, I'll go take a look now. With Jinbe here, it'll be easy to capture a rookie." Marco left these words and turned to look towards the ship's cabin.
What first entered his eyes was the gradually clearer outline of the island.
Looking at the deserted entrance to the sea, his eyes couldn't help but narrow.
"Pops, I see Jinbe, and Ace is unconscious to the side. It seems that Jinbe was more ruthless than expected."
"However, there's also a young man with Jinbe. That age looks about the same as Ace's. There doesn't seem to be anyone like that in the information."
"There's a stranger?" Jozu raised his eyebrows and said, "Could it be a new recruit that the Spade Pirates just took in, or someone from Jinbe's crew?"
"Jozu, you must have drunk too much. How could there be a human on Jinbe's ship? I think this young man must admire Pops' prestige and is planning to take the opportunity to join us!"
