Mermaid Bay.
"Boss!!!"
"Boss Jinbe!!!"
"Boss Jinbe is here!!!"
Amidst the exclamations of the Mermaid Girls, the Cute blue fat man arrived at the bay riding a whale shark.
"That guy is Shichibukai—Knight of the Sea, Jinbe!!!"
Robin raised an eyebrow slightly.
"Shichibukai!"
Vivi pursed her small lips, instinctively becoming alert.
"Knight of the Sea, Jinbe, to have the title of Knight of the Sea, his reputation on the sea is indeed good!"
Shakky said.
"Are there still good people among the Shichibukai like my father?"
Bonney asked in surprise.
"Yes, yes, Boss Jinbe and Kuma are both very good people!"
Koala nodded repeatedly.
"Huh? Koala, do you also know that Shichibukai?"
Kuina asked curiously.
"Mm."
Koala nodded heavily.
"When I was little, I was rescued by Boss Jinbe's boss. The Fish-Man Pirates took in homeless me. Boss Jinbe and Old Boss Fisher Tiger's kindness helped me out of despair…"
Koala said as she excitedly trotted forward.
"Boss Jinbe, long time no see!"
"You are… Koala?"
Jinbe was slightly stunned, but quickly recognized Koala.
"Yes! I am Koala!"
Koala nodded excitedly.
"Ten years have passed, and you've grown into an excellent young lady, and to be with Mr. Five Emperors Rolin and his group, it's truly surprising!"
Jinbe was surprised but also happy about Koala's current cheerful transformation.
After some pleasantries, Koala led Jinbe to the rock where Roland was.
Looking at the calm and composed Roland and his group, as well as the legendary great pirate Dark King Rayleigh.
Even a Shichibukai-level Jinbe couldn't help but hold his breath at this moment, feeling a sense of urgency in his heart.
A person's name casts a long shadow.
Now, after the Sabaody Great Incident,
Roland is a world-ceiling-level existence.
No one will underestimate him in the slightest because of his short time in the Grand Line.
This is the name the World Government has established for him with the blood of the God's Knights and the Five Elders, the highest authority.
"Knight of the Sea, Jinbe, do you need something?"
Roland asked indifferently.
"Mr. Five Emperors Rolin, I have two reasons for coming today. One is about the commotion just now, Koala has already told me… and there is a second matter…"
Jinbe sat down cross-legged on the spot.
"I have come to apologize!!!"
Apologize?
Listening to Jinbe's abrupt words,
All the girls present were stunned.
Apologize!
Apologize for what?
It was their first meeting, what sin was there to apologize for.
Unlike the girls' confusion, Roland showed no surprise or confusion upon hearing Jinbe's intention to apologize.
The girls didn't know, but Roland, as a transmigrator, knew perfectly well.
Originally, he also wanted to find an opportunity to help Miss Nami get proper revenge.
He never expected that the other party would actively present himself.
Since that was the case, Roland found it difficult to find an excuse to secretly attack.
"If you want to apologize, you should talk to my navigator!"
Roland looked at Nami.
"Me?"
Nami was first stunned, then quickly reacted.
The suffering of her hometown might be related to the blue fat man in front of her.
"Miss Nami, I was the one who exiled Arlong to the East Blue back then. I originally wanted him to cause less trouble in the Grand Line and reflect honestly in a peaceful sea, but I didn't expect him to escalate things…"
Jinbe revealed everything without concealment.
"So that's it, you were the one who put Arlong in the East Blue!"
Nami lowered her head, whispering softly.
The atmosphere in the area immediately quieted down.
No one spoke, everyone just watched quietly, waiting for Nami's decision.
"The harm that guy Arlong caused to you and your hometown, the root of it all lies with me. Whatever the consequences, I can bear them, without any complaints!"
Jinbe was already prepared to take all responsibility alone.
"Boss Jinbe!"
Koala's small face was filled with worry and conflict.
On one side was her sister Nami, and on the other was her benefactor Jinbe.
At this moment, Koala was the one suffering the most.
After a long while.
"Hoo."
Nami let out a long breath.
"The suffering endured by Cocoyasi Village and the nearby villages cannot be simply dismissed with a'sorry.' However… Arlong's crimes cannot be entirely blamed on you, and I cannot forgive you on behalf of everyone!"
Nami whispered calmly.
"｀However… there does need to be a conclusion between you and me!"
As she spoke, Nami raised her small pink fist and punched Jinbe in the face.
Pop!
The delicate fist landed on Jinbe's head, causing no pain.
"With this, we are even!"
Nami smiled slightly.
"This… is this really okay?"
Jinbe looked up, gazing at Nami in confusion.
Jinbe was very clear about Nami's current strength.
Nami, with the power of the Logia-type Rumble-Rumble Fruit, was no longer a weak woman.
If she got serious, Jinbe was not confident he could defeat Nami.
He had originally thought he would at least end up severely injured today, but he never expected…
"It's all over!"
Nami smiled freely.
"My grudge with Arlong ended with his death, and besides, you are Koala's benefactor…"
"Nami~"
Koala's eyes reddened involuntarily, and she hugged Nami emotionally.
"What a kind girl~"
Shakky exclaimed.
Just then.
"Hoai~~~"
A whale's roar came from the sky, loud and clear.
"That's the King!!!"
"Lord Neptune, the Sea God!! Top!"
"Lord Neptune has come here personally."
"Even the King has come in person!"
Looking at the giant merman riding a whale from the sky, the Mermaid Girls in the bay couldn't help but exclaim in surprise.
Under everyone's watchful eyes, King Neptune, riding a whale, and the royal Phoenix-tailed boat landed in Mermaid Bay.
"Mr. Roland, I am Neptune, the King of Fish-Man Island! Your arrival brings glory to our Fish-Man Island! I have already prepared a humble feast and banquet, and I wonder if I might have the honor of inviting you all to be our guests at Dragon Palace!"
Neptune said sincerely.
