The Unexpected Trouble the Straw Hat Pirates Brought

"As expected, with Luffy and the others around, there's bound to be something unexpected!" Haku thought to herself.

Haku looked at Luffy and Jinbe with a strange expression and said, "Luffy, how did you get here? And Jinbe, what are you doing here too? Don't you need to handle things at the Royal Palace?"

Luffy scratched his head and said, "Ah! The proprietress at that Mermaid Cafe said I was destined to destroy Fish-Man Island. As a result, when I was being chased by them, I ran into Jinbe on the way, and we came here together."

Haku nodded, then turned his gaze to Jinbe.

Jinbe said, "Although I have resigned from my position Shichibukai, due to certain special reasons, I cannot stay at the Royal Palace for too long! Moreover, King Neptune asked me to help look after Princess Shirahoshi, so I came here!"

Haku stroked her chin and said, "Well, there's nothing we can do about it. It's fate! Neptune's just unlucky!"

Jinbe looked completely bewildered, while Shirahoshi was surprised to hear that her father was going to be in trouble.

She asked, "Lady Haku, is something wrong with my father?"

Haku thought for a moment and then said without hiding anything, "Nothing much happened, except that King Neptune was seriously injured and captured by the people from Fish-Man District!"

"Huh?! What's going on? With King Neptune's abilities and the Royal Palace soldiers around, nothing should happen in Fish-Man District, right?" Jinbe said, his eyes wide.

Haku shook her head helplessly and said, "There's nothing you can do. No matter how much you scheme, you didn't take Luffy and the others into account."

"Huh? What does what Haku is saying have to do with us?" Luffy immediately became serious when he heard that this matter was somewhat related to him.

Haku said helplessly, "Nami, Zoro, and the others are currently in the Ryugu Palace. Because of that Shyarly prophecy, and the fact that a little Nezumi is secretly capturing the Mermaid, you've all been implicated."

"Right now, Nami, Zoro, and the others have clashed with Neptune inside the Ryugu Palace. Neptune's forces have been completely wiped out and are all tied up," Haku said, shrugging.

"I shouldn't have left the Royal Palace!" Jinbe said, speechless.

He hadn't expected that something would happen to the Ryugu Palace so soon after he left.

He suddenly realized something and said, "If the King Neptune was captured by Luffy's crew, then why did you just say that King Neptune was severely injured and kidnapped by the Fish-Man District people?"

Haku shrugged and said, "Well, as long as the entrances and exits to the Ryugu Palace aren't open, those people from Fish-Man District won't be able to get inside."

Jinbe stared at Haku, waiting for her answer! His intuition told him that Haku must have done something too!

Haku then explained what had just happened in the Sea Forest, and Haku didn't hide the fact that she had thrown all the human Pirates into the Ryugu Palace!

Jinbe staggered back a step, he hadn't expected there to be so many twists and turns involved.

Moreover, everything happens so coincidentally.

After hearing that her father had been injured and captured, Shirahoshi first began to sob, and then burst into tears.

She pleaded urgently, "Lady Haku, please save my father! I beg you!"

Jinbe knew things had gone off track, and he said, "I'll go rescue King Neptune right now!"

"Jinbe, I'll go with you!" Luffy said, wanting to help.

Jinbe said, "You can't interfere in this matter, and neither can Haku! This is a matter for Fish-Man Island. We'll handle it ourselves; we can't let you get involved. Besides, because of your human identities, if you get involved, it might cause conflict between Fish-Man and humans!"

"I'm afraid this matter will no longer allow you to have your way, Jinbe!" Haku said, as he sensed a signal coming from her.

He focused his gaze on a screen in the Sea Forest, where Hody Jones's image was displayed.

The other side also mentioned that Neptune would Execution at Ghillie Court Square, and that Zoro and the other two who had been captured would be drowned in the Ryugu Palace!

"Everyone! Something's happened!" Nami, led by Kemi, also arrived at the Sea Forest.

Meanwhile, Sanji Chopper, who were originally staying at Coral Hill, also arrived here with the heavily injured Hachi!

Hachi, who was already quite badly injured, was so frightened by Haku that he froze in place.

It's important to know that Arlong was present when he was killed.

He was extremely lucky to escape back into the sea; otherwise, he doesn't know what would have happened to him!

Seeing Hachi's state, Haku felt a mischievous urge to play with him!

He said, "Isn't this the one who slipped through the net back then? Are you afraid I won't remember you?"

Haku's image continued to demonize in Hachi's eyes, and he said in fear, "Don't kill me, I don't want to die!"

Haku pursed her lips and turned her head away, looking bored.

Seeing Hachi's reaction, Nami asked, "Hachi, do you know Haku?"

Hachi glanced at Haku cautiously and said, "Arlong died two years ago. He killed him!"

After saying that, Hachi shut his mouth, not daring to speak again and attract Haku's attention.

"What? Arlong is dead?" Nami exclaimed, her eyes wide.

Jinbe, who also had some deep ties with Arlong, showed little reaction.

After all, when he heard about Arlong from Haku in Impel Down, he knew that Arlong definitely wouldn't survive Haku's attack!

Haku pointed at Nami and said, "I think you've already found out everything that guy did in the East Blue over the past two years!"

"Nami was one of the people who suffered persecution from Arlong!"

Nami's face darkened as she thought of some unpleasant things.

Jinbe looked at Nami with remorse and said, "I apologize for what happened back then. If I hadn't exiled Arlong to the East Blue, none of you would have..."

Nami had already let go of the past. She shook her head, interrupting Jinbe, and said, "You don't need to apologize for this. Arlong's matter has nothing to do with you, and I've already moved on from those painful memories and have a completely new life."

Jinbe into Nami's determined eyes, Jinbe felt a little less guilty. He nodded and said, "If there's anything I can do, please give me a chance to atone for my sins!"

Nami neither agreed nor disagreed.

Haku suddenly looked up at the sky and said with great interest, "Someone who's traveled a thousand miles to deliver their head to someone has arrived!"
