Ancient Zoan Artificial Devil Fruit

At first.

Maud felt that inviting Jinbe to join the pirate crew should not be difficult.

But he had not expected it to go so smoothly.

Maud smiled.

Tesoro and Jinbe were both rare powerhouses in the New World.

With them joining, the crew's overall combat strength would rise by a large margin.

Moreover, there was still the Empress Hancock outside, whom he could reach out and pluck whenever he wanted.

Thinking about it, expanding his influence and growing the crew...

It seemed that carrying out such a thing was not as difficult as he had imagined.

Perhaps this was the benefit of fame.

Maud was in a good mood and finally turned his full attention to the delicacies on the table.

Jinbe, on the other hand, had no appetite for the meal.

His eyes lowered as he seriously considered what benefits joining the Maud Pirates could bring to Fish-Man Island.

Just now, he had accepted Maud's offer without hesitation.

But he felt that this decision was the right one.

As long as his strength could bring value to the Maud Pirates,

it would be equivalent to bringing value to Fish-Man Island.

The man who had been considering where to go suddenly felt his heart settle.

He thought that it was truly fortunate Maud had traveled such a great distance to Fish-Man Island to invite him to join the pirate crew.

"I will certainly not disappoint you..."

Jinbe firmly vowed to himself.

The banquet ended.

Jinbe and Hachi left Ryugu Palace and headed for Fish-Man District.

Before leaving Fish-Man Island with Maud, Jinbe had to inform his companions temporarily living in Fish-Man District about this matter.

After that, a new journey awaited him.

After Jinbe and Hachi left, Neptune prepared rooms for Maud and the others.

It was still early.
