Lillymon extended her hands, releasing six purple, venomous vines from her palms. It seemed the previous cactus spines had struck Jinbe's pressure points, coupled with the large amount of stamina stolen by the pollen.
Jinbe was surprisingly instantly caught by all the vines, bound up like a rice dumpling.
Lillymon forcefully flung him backward. Just like fishing, Jinbe was directly pulled out of the water by an immense force. Before his horrified eyes, he himself was ruthlessly slammed into his pirate ship in a perfect parabola, shattering two decks.
"Jinbe, that's enough, choose to surrender." Luna felt it was time, so she immediately transmitted a message to Jinbe. At the same time, she instantly released her Conqueror's Haki, knocking out the Fish-Men who were about to recover from their negative emotions.
"I surrender, stop fighting." Although Jinbe was slightly astonished—what exactly was this ability of Luna's?
He understood, however, that this staged performance needed to conclude, so he immediately shouted anxiously, feigning fear.
His acting, along with The Girls', was quite good, ensuring that the Navy spies hiding in the dark could not find any fault.
They all believed Jinbe had done his best and fulfilled his duty as their Navy cannon fodder.
It was likely that Jinbe would not temporarily arouse Sengoku's suspicion.
As for the later event where Jinbe did not accept the Navy's summons to participate in that war as one of the Warlord of the Sea, and was instead directly captured by the Navy, thrown into Impel Down, and stripped of his Warlord of the Sea title...
Heh heh, wasn't she here now?
Jinbe was immediately released by Lillymon, who then conveniently released a wreath to heal Jinbe, astonishing him once again and prompting him to ask.
Was Lillymon's position in the Pink Hat Pirates truly not that of a doctor?
Luna immediately stated that it was not, and besides, Kaya's medical skill level was not low now. After all, professional skills could also be practiced inside the time training house.
Therefore, The Girls' strength had been increasing these past few days, and their abilities were improving as well.
For instance, Kuina was more like an assassin, and Shiro, who previously only specialized in mechanics, was now also dabbling in other scientific fields with the help of training in the time training house.
The other girls were the same; except for Tatsumaki, who was a pure combatant, the professional abilities of the other girls were all being enhanced.
Whether it was Kaya's medical skills, Nojiko's Navigator abilities, Carmen's cooking, Dia's Shipwright craftsmanship, Shana's intelligence gathering skills, or Asada Shino's sniper ability, they were all being enhanced.
Therefore, truthfully speaking, although Lillymon possessed several healing skills, especially those that could demonstrate great power on a chaotic battlefield, the role of the doctor on her pirate ship would always belong to Kaya, and Lillymon merely needed to fulfill her duty as a lookout.
Not long after, although two large holes had been broken open on the deck, Jinbe's pirate ship was still able to sail normally. Luna once again abandoned the small boat she had just bought, and Jinbe immediately led them.
They plunged into the sea, quickly leaving the area and heading toward Fish-Man Island, while the surrounding Navy spies immediately reported the situation to Marineford.
Just then, on Jinbe's pirate ship, which had already submerged and was rapidly approaching Fish-Man Island.
"Miss Luna, are you heading to Fish-Man Island?"
"No need, Jinbe, we are heading straight to the Sabaody Archipelago. I heard there seems to be some turmoil within Fish-Man Island. It might not be appropriate for an outsider of my fifth emperor level to intrude rashly, right? Let's wait until Fish-Man Island returns to peace." Luna said, shaking her head gently. She knew there were some internal issues on Fish-Man Island, such as Hody Jones and that Target-Target Fruit user. In her eyes, these were merely insignificant small fry that she could easily resolve with a snap of her fingers or a stomp of her foot.
But the key was, she had already stolen Luffy's Moria arc; a short arc like Fish-Man Island, which didn't even seem to last 100 episodes, should be left for Luffy.
Moreover, don't forget that Fish-Man Island is still Whitebeard's territory. What kind of business would it be for one Yonko to manage affairs on another Yonko' territory?
"Understood, Miss Luna. Then, Big Brother Fisher Tiger's matter..." Jinbe said respectfully, a look of earnest pleading instantly appearing on his face.
Luna smiled and snapped her fingers. Dark energy appeared before Jinbe, and the Red Snapper Fish-Man Tiger thus appeared, currently with his eyes closed.
Tiger, full name Tiger, was tall, half a body taller than Jinbe. He wore a headscarf, had thick curly hair, a wide mouth, full sideburns, and a slight stubble on his upper lip. The Sun Pirates symbol was located right in the center of his chest.
Adventurer, founder and first captain of the Sun Pirates. Tiger, in order to rescue his Fish-Man compatriots who had been bought as slaves by the Celestial Dragons from Human Traffickers, climbed the World Government headquarters, the Holy Land Mary Geoise, bare-handed and caused a massive disturbance, freeing thousands of imprisoned slaves of different races. He later formed the Sun Pirates and sailed across the seas.
"Am I back? Have I been resurrected?" Tiger, finally opening his eyes, spoke dazedly, as if still immersed in a dream, unable to believe everything before him. He had returned from the world of death, back to this vast ocean.
The water was still shallow, and faint sunlight shone on him, warm and bright. The ocean current gently slapped against the ship's hull, making a crisp sound. Tiger slowly got up and looked around, his eyes filled with doubt and confusion. He tried to recall his past experiences, but the memories in his mind were blurred, as if shrouded in a thick fog.
Just then, a familiar voice entered his ears: "Big Brother Fisher Tiger!"
Tiger turned his head and saw Jinbe walking toward him, weeping profusely. Tears streamed down Jinbe's face, and snot even ran out of his nose. He was so excited he could barely control his emotions, walking step by step toward Tiger, finally hugging him tightly.
"This is wonderful, Big Brother Fisher Tiger, you're finally back!" Jinbe sobbed, his voice filled with endless joy and emotion.
Tiger felt Jinbe's genuine emotion, and a warm current surged in his heart. He gently patted Jinbe's back and comforted him, "I'm fine, don't cry."
However, Jinbe did not stop crying and continued, "Big Brother Fisher Tiger, do you know? We have missed you all these years and hoped you could return again. You are our hero, our hope!"
Tiger smiled slightly, a hint of emotion flashing in his eyes. He knew that he had made tremendous contributions to freeing the slaves and had become an idol in the hearts of many. Even as time passed, people's reverence for him remained undiminished.
"Thank you, Jinbe," Tiger said softly, "I am very happy to see you all again."
The two embraced, savoring this moment of reunion. Sunlight shone upon them, reflecting a heartwarming scene. The sea surged beneath their feet, as if celebrating this great moment as well.
