Jinbe, standing nearby, was taken aback when he heard Hiko's arrangements. "Is there a mission? Do you need the Bald Sea God to serve as combat power at sea? Should I come along too?"
Jinbe was quick-witted and soon understood what Uchiha Hiko meant. He immediately volunteered to take on the mission.
"There's a little trouble. Some of the partnerships we agreed on back at Fishman Island still haven't sent a single client representative, so I've sent Luo and Urouge to investigate," Hiko said. "You don't need to go, Jinbe. I have another arrangement for you."
"Oh?" Jinbe asked curiously. "What arrangement?"
Hiko glanced at the distant kingdom of Dressrosa and said, "Dressrosa is currently being rebuilt. This is a great opportunity for Fishman Island to integrate into human society, but the Fishman Island people have hated humans for so many years that it'll be difficult to change their mindset overnight. I've only just accepted Fishman Island's submission, so my prestige there may not even compare to yours. Stay here and represent the fish-men, helping with Dressrosa's reconstruction while improving relations between the two races. This mission is of utmost importance!"
After hearing Hiko's words, Jinbe felt even more grateful toward him.
Taking advantage of Dressrosa's reconstruction, Hiko was helping Fishman Island enter the human world and seek a bright future of peaceful coexistence. To Jinbe, this was an immense favor to Fishman Island.
Jinbe was a man with a strong sense of chivalry, and Hiko's actions earned his wholehearted approval.
"I understand!" Jinbe nodded. "I'll handle matters concerning the fish-men and merfolk. I'll also have King Neptune carry out proper education on Fishman Island beneath the sea and promote diplomatic ties with Dressrosa. As long as we can take the first step, Fishman Island's situation will definitely improve greatly
