Chapter 485: The News That Shocked Even Kabuto
Fishman Island, Ryugu Palace.
Neptune drank a big gla.s.s of wine in satisfaction and sighed softly, “Because Kisame likes to drink juice, we can’t drink.”
“Oh? Like to drink juice?”
Jinbe’s eyes were slightly surprised. He couldn’t help but think of Sasuke, who liked to drink juice in the Whitebeard Pirates.
That black-haired young man not only drank juice himself but also forced Ace to drink juice. Even Whitebeard gradually began to drink juice because his body couldn’t drink wine.
It was said that the vice-captain of the Red-Haired Pirates, Benn Beckman, was also drinking juice recently. He even forced his captain, Shanks, to drink juice too…
Moreover…
Everyone only drank orange juice.
This juice…
Where did it come from? Was there a problem?
Jinbe looked at King Neptune with an apologetic expression. He sighed, “Recently, I have been drinking juice with Pops in the Whitebeard Pirates… Give me a gla.s.s of orange juice too!”
“…”
King Neptune’s expression gradually became silent.
Wasn’t it good for everyone to drink wine? Why do you want to drink juice? Even his daughter, Princess Shirahoshi, who had just left the tower, had her drinks changed from milk to juice…
This was also because she was scared of Kisame at that time.
Fortunately, Jinbe’s character was not as dark as Kisame’s.
Jinbe sighed and said, “I came back this time to ask Kisame to apologize to Pops Whitebeard and solve the misunderstanding of Kisame pulling out the flag of the Whitebeard Pirates before… But now it seems that there is no hope.”
“Kisame is very stubborn.”
King Neptune also sighed and shook his head, “If you want him to lower his head, there is no such possibility…”
“No, maybe he is forced to.”
Jinbe faintly understood Kisame’s thoughts.
Because there was another person behind Kisame, he didn’t dare to contact the Whitebeard Pirates. Perhaps he had never been able to control himself!
Jinbe suddenly began to explain for Kisame. This matter made Neptune’s expression a bit strange. The two of you just had a fight!
But after Jinbe mentioned it, he didn’t mention it again and changed the topic, “When I return to the Whitebeard Pirates, I want to see if I can persuade Pops…”
“Please.”
Neptune nodded and continued, “Why don’t I go with you? This way, maybe I can explain it clearly…”
“No, the target of the Whitebeard Pirates is only Kisame.”
Jinbe shook his head and fell back into thought.
In this battle against the Shichibukai Kisame, in addition to punishing Kisame for pulling the flag of the Whitebeard Pirate, it was also to retaliate for the World Government ambushing Sasuke and the 2nd Division…
It could also be that he wanted to test the person behind Kisame?
Perhaps this would also make sense; even with Sasuke’s persuasion, Whitebeard didn’t shake his determination. He even brought his group and personally moved out!
A mere Shichibukai…
It was indeed not worth it for Whitebeard to personally move out.
After thinking about this, a trace of regret appeared on Jinbe’s face, “For the Fishman Island, I didn’t expect Kisame to walk the same path as me?”
For the sake of Fishman Island, Jinbe took the Shichibukai position, and on the other hand, he has been working hard to maintain relations with various powerful pirate groups in the world.
Fortunately, Whitebeard, who Jinbe and Fishman Island had taken refuge before, was good to Fishman Island and never exploited Fishman Island.
Hoshigaki Kisame…
Did he find a stronger person to rely on for Fishman Island?
Jinbe was still a little uncomfortable. He did not think that there was someone more suitable to protect Fishman Island than Whitebeard.
“Huh?”
Neptune looked at Jinbe in surprise. He did not quite understand what Jinbe meant. He just poured a gla.s.s of wine and said, “In fact, it is also thanks to Mr. Kisame that Fishman Island can maintain peace during this period of time. Recently, the island has become more and more stable…”
Speaking of this, Neptune added, “Yesterday he solved the Flying Pirates, and in the future, Shirahoshi can leave the tower and play…”
“Princess Shirahoshi can finally come out?”
A smile appeared on Jinbe’s face.
Jinbe thought of Kisame’s style and words again, and his smile slowly disappeared. He sighed and said, “That guy is actually a good person with a cold face and a warm heart… Now I don’t know if his path is right or not…”
He insisted on choosing Whitebeard…
Kisame insisted on choosing the person behind him…
Perhaps they would have to wait until the person behind Kisame appeared and end this war before they knew who made the right choice.
However, due to his understanding and respect for Whitebeard, Jinbe still didn’t change his mind because Whitebeard protected them during their most difficult time…
Even if they had chosen to submit to someone else, they couldn’t refute their benefactor, Whitebeard, right?
“Don’t worry, King Neptune.”
Jinbe drank the juice in his gla.s.s and said in a deep voice, “This war is not as simple as we think. Kisame is just a chess piece in this whirlpool… It seems that we can only wait for the outcome!”
In the sea.
The news of Whitebeard personally taking the Moby d.i.c.k to Fishman Island spread throughout the sea in a blink of an eye.
It was said that this was to punish the Shichibukai’s rudeness and retaliation for Kisame’s previous attack on Whitebeard Pirates!
Marineford.
In the office of the Marine Fleet Admiral
During this period of time, Admiral Kizaru finally recovered from his injuries. He rushed back to Marineford from the Holy Land Mary Geoise and began his life of fishing at work.
Marine Fleet Admiral Sengoku, Marine Admiral Kizaru, Marine Admiral Aokoji, the Great Staff Officer Vice Admiral Tsuru, and the new Staff Officer Kabuto were all sitting here.
Except for Admiral Akainu, who was guarding the G1 branch, and Vice Admiral Garp, who slipped out again, the entire marine higher-ups were all here.
They were all here for the news of the war between Whitebeard Pirate and the Shichibukai Kisame. They were discussing how the marine will deal with it.
No matter what…
The war between the Whitebeard, the strongest Yonko(Four Emperors), and Kisame, the Shichibukai, was inevitable for the marine.
If they watch from the sidelines…
The marine would lose credibility!
“It’s really scary…”
Kizaru leisurely held a cup of tea and glanced at the information sent by the CP department from time to time. He then revealed a strange smile on his face, “The Sasuke who defeated me twice actually join Whitebeard?”
When Kizaru talked about Sasuke, there was no fear on his face, and there was even no unwillingness. It was as if those two failures were nothing to him at all…
Indeed, it was nothing.
The two encounters between Kizaru and Sasuke were purely because of his bad luck and each time he played a defensive role. Otherwise, with Pika Pika no Mi(Glint-Glint Fruit) ability, he would definitely be able to deal with Sasuke.
Moreover, the two defeats of Kizaru were also considered n.o.ble sacrifices.
The first time, when Kizaru blocked Sasuke, all the civilians on the island were evacuated, three of them were Celestial Dragons. The second time, when Kizaru blocked Sasuke, the marine of the G1 Branch was also spared.
Speaking of…
Whether in the eyes of the World Government or the Marine Headquarters, Kizaru’s two failures were more merits than demerits.
And this guy who had always been fishing…
At the critical moment, he was unexpectedly reliable!
After hearing Kizaru’s words, Fleet Admiral Sengoku coughed a few times and comforted his subordinates, “Borsalino, don’t take that kind of thing to heart. That little fellow Sasuke is just lucky…”
“No, no, no, it’s not that his luck is good…”
Kizaru shook his head slowly and continued with a smile, “The strength of that little fellow is indeed very strong… He is not any weaker than Whitebeard when he was young…”
“…”
Everyone could not help but glance at Kizaru.
Although they all knew that what Kizaru said might be the truth, it always made them feel that Kizaru was bragging about the strength of the enemy to flatter himself.
After all, even Sengoku couldn’t do anything about Whitebeard when he was young…
“That’s right.”
Vice Admiral Tsuru closed her palm and sighed softly, “The Whitebeard Pirates that Sasuke joined are undoubtedly the strongest pirate group in the world. In this world, no one can stop them except the marines…”
“Yes, that is indeed the case.”
Kabuto also nodded. He flipped through the information in his hands and calmly said, “No, or it does seem… that they are not unstoppable.”
Kabuto took out a wanted poster and handed it to Vice Admiral Tsuru, “I wonder if Tsuru-senpai still remembers the information we got from Captain Naraku?”
“En? That ?tsutsuki Kaguya of Wano Country?”
Vice Admiral Tsuru took the wanted poster from Kabuto in surprise. He looked at a young man with yellow hair on the wanted poster and frowned slightly.
Because the person on the wanted poster did not seem to be strange.
It seemed that this yellow-haired youth even had a silly smile on his face.
The chief inspector/vice-captain of the Beast Pirates, Uzumaki Naruto, Reward: 520 Million Beli.
The first bounty reached 520 million. Although Uzumaki Naruto was a rookie pirate; he only defeated a pirate group and didn’t do much evil…
But his ident.i.ty…
It was indeed amazing!
This was the chief inspector of the Beast Pirates and was only second to the Beast Pirates Captain, Kaido, and even above the three All-Stars!
“This is the rookie pirate from the Beast Pirates?”
Vice Admiral Tsuru turned to look at Kabuto and couldn’t help but ask, “What does this have to do with what we are going to say? Could it be that this person is the one who can turn the situation around…”
“I don’t know.”
Kabuto slowly stretched out his palm and said in a deep voice, “Not long ago, a team of CP agents was sacrificed in Wano Country. Before they died, they sent the information they obtained to Captain Naraku. He urgently sent the information out…”
Kabuto pointed to the yellow-haired youth on the wanted poster and whispered, “This guy named Uzumaki Naruto s the descendant of Kaguya who occupied Wano Country…
And if you think about it carefully, the Beast Pirates are a Yonko(Four Emperors)’s pirate group, and they can definitely be called as strong as a forest. It is impossible for anyone to become a chief inspector of a large fleet of pirates. “
“Yes.”
The eyes of Vice Admiral Tsuru also faintly changed and whispered, “At first, we had similar guesses, but we couldn’t find anything at all…”
“Now we found it.”
Kabuto closed his palm and calmly said his guess, “Their alliance should be stronger than we imagined. When the Whitebeard Pirates had one more monster, the Beast Pirates might also have one more monster!”
At this point, Kabuto continued to add, “There is also a rumor that cannot be confirmed. It is said that Uchiha Sasuke was once a member of those who occupied Wano Country, but he later turned his back on them for unknown reasons…”
Kabuto slowly pushed up his gla.s.ses and looked at everyone present. His voice gradually became a little heavy, or rather, he himself was shocked by what he said next.
“Before Uchiha Sasuke betrayed the invaders in Wano Country and entered the sea, his teammate at the time… was this Uzumaki Naruto!”
