Jinbe vs. Ace

Impel Down, the Chief Warden's Room.

Shiryu stood in front of a vertical mirror, but strangely, the mirror did not reflect his image. If this were Roy's previous life, it would definitely be the beginning of a horror movie.

"Nightmare Roy, I've heard so much about you!" Shiryu said while wiping Muramasa. "Using your Devil Fruit Ability, you infiltrated Impel Down by residing your consciousness in that Fish-Man's eyes. The so-called impenetrable walls were broken through by you. That's truly terrifying. Now it seems that the fact that those incompetent Marines were able to capture that Revolutionary Army might also be partly due to your behind-the-scenes efforts."

"Hehe, as an ally of the Navy, helping them capture these bandits from the Revolutionary Army is my duty," Roy said, shrugging in the mirror.

"The Navy's allies would not use such methods to appear in Impel Down. As Shichibukai, you have every right to apply to enter Impel Down voluntarily."

"I'm not stupid enough to let someone put me in Sea Stone Handcuffs. This method is more suitable for me."

"Aren't you afraid I'll expose this? Then you won't be able to remain Shichibukai."

"For me now, the title of Shichibukai is not that important anymore. The more crucial question is, would you do that?"

"Idiot, I am the Chief Warden of Impel Down. It is my duty to put a great pirate like you in prison."

"There's no need to deceive yourself like this. You, the prison guard, are also a prisoner, only your prison is a little bigger than others." Roy sneered with disdain, "You have extremely powerful swordsmanship, yet you can only stay in this sunless prison day after day, using these defenseless prisoners to test your sword. It's a disgrace to a swordsman!"

Laugh!

The mirror Shiryu front of Shiryu shattered into dust instantly. Roy's words had clearly struck a nerve with Shiryu. He wasn't a shut-in like Magellan; he was a swordsman, a swordsman who aspired to the pinnacle of swordsmanship. He longed to sail the high seas and compete with Great Sword Master from all walks of life. But the reality was that he could only stay in this dark and cramped prison, bored and listless, keeping company with the weak and insignificant.

Yes, he's had enough of this kind of life!

"Looks like I accidentally guessed what you were thinking." The scattered fragments instantly returned to their original state, and Roy's smug smile reappeared in Shiryu's eyes.

"So, what exactly is your purpose?"

"I'll pack you up and take you and some pirates I fancy with me."

"If you really do that, you'll be at odds with the World Government' forever!"

"So I am waiting for an opportunity, an opportunity to plunge the World Government' into the abyss, to make the seas turbulent, and to allow me to ascend the throne."

"That sounds quite interesting." A bloodthirsty smile crept across Shiryu's lips. "If you can really do it, what's wrong with submitting to you!"

"Big guy, I want to see Whitebeard." Ace's tone was calm, but his heart was not. "He is Shichibukai like Nightmare Roy, but the pressure he gives me is far less than that man's. Is it because my strength has increased, or is Nightmare's strength far beyond that of an ordinary Shichibukai?"

"I won't let a dangerous brat like you, who's as sharp as a knife, go to see Old Man." Jinbe struck Fish-Man Karate stance. "Although I'm not a member of the Whitebeard Pirates, out of friendship... I'll deal with you myself!"

Moby Dick.

"It's been five days and five nights already. Those two really are monsters!"

"It's Jinbe to have such strength, but I didn't expect that newcomer could actually match him!"

"Fire Fist Ace, the Supernovas with the highest bounty? I heard that these Supernovas suffered a devastating blow on Sabaody Archipelago, and I thought they were nothing special."

"Your statement is biased. They did suffer a crushing defeat on Sabaody Archipelago, but do you consider the terrifying monsters they faced? They were the great pirates who could even defeat Kaido!"

"Even now, I can't believe that a newcomer who has only been at sea for three years has actually defeated Kaido, one of the Four Emperors."

Seeing that his underlings' conversation was gradually going off-topic, Marco twitched his lips, his arms transformed into Phoenix wings, and with dead fish eyes, he flew towards Jinbe, saying, "Stop it, or you two will both die."

Seeing the two people who were so exhausted that they collapsed on the ground and didn't even have the strength to stand up, Marco awkwardly scratched his head. "Looks like we're talking too late."

Marco, the Ship Doctor, quickly treated Jinbe, and even treated Ace, their enemy. After all, in his opinion, only those at the level of the Four Emperors could be considered enemies of the Whitebeard Pirates. Even though Ace had the fighting power to rival Jinbe, a Shichibukai, Marco still saw no threat and considered him at most an interesting brat.

On the Moby Dick, the Whitebeard Pirates were having a banquet, partly to welcome the arrival of their old friend Jinbe, and partly to celebrate the addition of Fire Fist Ace.

That's right. After witnessing Whitebeard's terrifying power, in order to protect his crew, Ace was "forced" to join the Whitebeard Pirates and become Whitebeard's son.

However, Ace did not join in the banquet at this moment. Instead, he stood aside with his arms crossed, sulking. The other Whitebeard Pirates members did not care. In their eyes, no one could resist the captain's charisma, Ace would eventually become one of them.

"Kurarara, Jinbe, I think I heard that something happened on your Fish-Man Island. Was it the work of that brat Nightmare?"

"Nightmare Roy?" Ace secretly pricked up his ears, clearly very interested in news about Roy, who had crushed him twice before.

"Old Man, you've misunderstood." Jinbe, worried that there might be a misunderstanding between the two sides, quickly explained, "Captain Roy not only didn't make things difficult for Fish-Man Island, but he also averted a devastating disaster for Fish-Man Island. He is our benefactor."

Ace's expression was strange, and he thought to himself, "Is this big guy lying through his teeth? When did Nightmare Roy switch to being a savior?"

"Haha..." The other crew members chuckled dryly, "It seems his character is quite different from what's been said."

"Kurarara, what an interesting brat! No wonder Kaido was defeated by him," Whitebeard said with a loud laugh.

"Yeah... wait a minute." Jinbe to chime in when he suddenly realized something was wrong. Ace and Ace, who was equally shocked, asked in unison, "Kaido?"

Marco, still looking perpetually sleepy, yawned and said, "Right, it's normal that you two didn't know this information after fighting for five days and five nights. Just recently, Nightmare Roy and Kaido fought fiercely in Wano Country for ten days and ten nights, which ended with the Beasts Pirates withdrawing from Wano Country."

Ace and Jinbe were instantly petrified.
