"Cough, cough, cough." But suddenly, Luna, standing beside them, couldn't bear it anymore and quickly pretended to cough twice.
She wanted those two men to know that there were still three young, beautiful, and slightly cute Young Ladys present.
You two great Fish-Men, stop acting out this reunion drama here.
And honestly, one of them was as fat as a ball and the other was as thin as a bamboo pole, yet both were actually quite sturdy. The problem was that one was blue like seawater, and the other was red like fire—they could be described as one azure and one crimson.
This truly reminded her of that pair, the feuding monster brothers in ultraman who would fight each other, like the one of ice and the one of fire.
But regardless, seeing these two hugging and weeping bitterly while sighing with emotion on the side was truly unbearable for her.
She was even worried that if she didn't step in to stop them soon, she might vomit until she passed out.
At the same time, Lillymon and Perona shared the same thought.
This made Tiger and Jinbe extremely awkward.
The two men immediately let go of each other.
However, Tiger now understood the current situation, so he quickly expressed his gratitude to Luna.
"Thank you, Miss Luna, for bringing me back to life. You should know I still have many unfulfilled regrets."
"Now that you are back, perhaps you can fulfill your wishes. Unlike others, I will not interfere with your actions, but I hope you can abandon an old subordinate, because, to some extent, he has offended me."
Luna spoke with a malicious expression, as if she were about to swallow a fish whole.
"Well, may I ask who that is?" Tiger felt Luna's surging killing intent, so he spoke awkwardly and cautiously.
At the same time, he was very curious as to which bastard subordinate it was.
But upon hearing this, although Jinbe was also somewhat afraid, he knew exactly who had offended Luna.
He secretly cursed that fellow Arlong in his heart. He shouldn't have indulged that guy to go to the East Blue back then.
Among the people he had harmed, Luna's crew members were included.
At the same time, Jinbe immediately pulled Tiger over and explained the situation.
After hearing this, Tiger was stunned, and then immediately almost burst out cursing.
Arlong, how did he not realize what a bastard this guy was back then? He seemed to have emphasized it several times: do not harm innocent humans. He almost brought catastrophe and total annihilation upon the entire Fish-Man Tribe.
Because she could resurrect him, Tiger was also very clear about how powerful Luna was.
Don't be fooled by her smiling face and apparent kindness; she is definitely a female tyrant. Killing their Fish-Man Tribe would be as simple as crushing a cockroach.
However, hearing that Arlong had already received his due punishment, and considering that this person possessed the power of resurrection, she probably wouldn't go too far.
He immediately breathed a sigh of relief, but he still quickly walked up to Luna and said respectfully.
"Please rest assured, Miss Luna, I will no longer concern myself with Arlong. He deserves to be locked up in prison for the rest of his life."
Clearly, Tiger meant it when he said he was giving up on Arlong, because he understood that this was Arlong's just retribution for his own actions. Furthermore, to protect the Fish-Man Tribe, he had no choice but to do this. He absolutely could not let the Fish-Man Tribe offend Luna because of one Arlong.
"That's for the best. But don't worry, he'll only spend about 20 years in prison at most. At least he is having a miserable time in Impel Down right now."
Since she possessed the power of resurrection, Luna decided to let the matter rest. After all, she had already promised Nojiko, who had specifically come to find her, that she would resurrect her and Nami's adoptive mother, Belle-Mère, once they returned to the East Blue.
"Then let me talk about this matter. Jinbe, think carefully about what I said. Perhaps you will soon be exposed to his charm. Also, since Tiger is back, are you still the captain of the Sun Pirates?" Luna continued, wearing a sweet smile.
She did not intend to change the fact that Jinbe would be imprisoned in Impel Down, because only then could he interact with Luffy, from Impel Down all the way to the Summit War.
"I will consider it, and now that Tiger is back, I think I'll just be the first mate."
Jinbe said, scratching his head.
After discussing a few more things with them, Luna ended the conversation. Luna and her crew waited quietly for their imminent arrival at the Sabaody Archipelago... Meanwhile, on the distant other side, the Marineford stood towering like an impregnable fortress.
The Marine spies, acting like human loudspeakers, quickly informed Sengoku of everything that had happened in detail, and were currently giving their report.
"That's the situation, Fleet Admiral Sengoku. Jinbe made a move, but Luna didn't need to act personally. Luna's new crew member, a mysterious Lillymon, easily dealt with Jinbe. Also, she seems to have gained another crew member whose appearance closely resembles Perona, one of Moria's three captains."
After listening, Sengoku fell silent. Luna hadn't even needed to make a move. But upon reflection, it made sense; Jinbe's strength was perhaps only slightly superior to a Vice Admiral, and both Momousagi and Tokikake had the potential to defeat him.
As for Luna, heh, to put it bluntly, even if the entire Marine force mobilized, they probably wouldn't be Luna's match. After all, the ability to nullify attacks through the void was simply too abnormal.
What was worse was that he had received another piece of information earlier: many of the assassins and infiltrators sent in by the CP Organization on the World Government's side had been eliminated, without even the ability to inflict minor injuries on the Pink Hat Pirates.
It was said that the Pink Hat Pirates possessed an exceptionally strong anti-espionage and anti-infiltration awareness, and their countermeasures were extremely powerful. Those who managed to escape were either dead, injured, or permanently disabled; those who couldn't escape were certainly killed.
In other words, whether it was the Marines' current preparations and intelligence gathering, or the assassinations and infiltration attempts by the CP Organization from the World Government, facing the Pink Hat Pirates seemed destined to fail completely.
It was like a quail egg hitting a diamond, or punching cotton—they would just be bounced back.
However, he was also getting a headache over the fact that the Pink Hat Pirates had gained two more new crew members.
After all, they knew that Luna possessed many valuable things and had deep reserves. In her hands, the motto was simple: if you are weak, I will cultivate you into a strong person; if you are strong, I will cultivate you into an even stronger person.
This was another point that gave the Marines a headache, and they were also very envious that Luna possessed such reserves.
At the same time, they were frustrated: why couldn't they gather so many good things?
Could this be the advantage of operating an elite crew?
