Jinbe's Attitude! [Request for Full Subscription]

When Jinbe emerged from the pirate ship, the entire atmosphere froze.

The former Warlord of the Sea, the whale shark fish-man Jinbe, was recognized across the world as the strongest being in the sea. His fat, towering body carried a suffocating sense of intimidation. Just looking at Jinbe's two terrifying fangs was enough to make the people on the merchant ship go weak in the knees.

Uchiha Hiko remained unmoved. Aside from his gaze no longer being as cold as before, no one could see any reaction from him to Jinbe's appearance.

"Jinbe! Take him down!" Pekoms shouted in exasperation. "Rescue Baron Tam Tam! That bastard must be a Devil Fruit user!"

Abilities involving Genjutsu manipulation and mental control were uncommon in the Pirate World—extremely rare, even. So when Uchiha Hiko used mental control to restrain Baron Tam Tam, Pekoms mistook him for a Devil Fruit user.

Jinbe did not respond to Pekoms. With an open and sincere look in his eyes, he slowly stepped off the pirate ship and onto the merchant vessel. Then, under everyone's watchful eyes, he walked up to Hiko.

Hiko's build had been considered fairly outstanding back in Konoha, but in the Pirate World, he looked like a little dwarf. Anyone could easily be one or two meters taller than him. The proportions of the creatures in this world were truly incomprehensible.

Yet even when Jinbe faced Hiko with a body 933 times more massive than his, he could not exert any psychological pressure on Hiko... and Jinbe did not release any oppressive aura either.

Then, Jinbe gave him a deep bow.

Everyone was stunned.

No one present understood why Jinbe had not attacked Uchiha Hiko, but instead made such an abnormal gesture. As a seasoned Pirate, why would he bow respectfully to a newcomer
