Chapter 288

He looked at Chris with gratitude. "Captain Chris, you didn't just take care of Vander Decken IX."

"You also helped us wipe out the New Fish-Man Pirates. After everything you've done for Fish-Man Island, I'd have a hard time refusing you."

"And the Seven Warlords Alliance would bring Fish-Man Island so many benefits. I have no reason not to join!"

Jinbe's eyes shone with resolve and anticipation.

From the moment he first saw Chris, he had somehow known this young man was destined for greatness.

If the Fish-Men could join the Seven Warlords Alliance, this might truly be their chance!

There in the great hall, Chris and Jinbe shook hands and formally sealed their alliance!

The Division Commanders exchanged glances, smiles on every face.

With that, the Seven Warlords Alliance had five Shichibukai!

Only two remained—Dracule Mihawk and Tyrant Kuma!

Everyone knew it was only a matter of time before those two joined the Seven Warlords Alliance as well.

The Chris Pirates' grand ambitions would truly begin to unfold the moment they entered the New World!

King Neptune, a staunch supporter of Chris, burst into hearty laughter.

He waved a hand. "Today, Fish-Man Island has three reasons to celebrate!"

"Vander Decken IX has been captured!"

"Every member of the New Fish-Man Pirates has been thrown in prison!"

"Jinbe has joined the Seven Warlords Alliance!"

At that, King Neptune glanced at Princess Shirahoshi and corrected himself.

"No, make that four!"

He drew Shirahoshi to his side and announced solemnly, "My daughter Shirahoshi has finally escaped her misfortune and taken her first steps toward independence and strength!"

Princess Shirahoshi looked shyly at everyone. A blush crept across her delicate face as she murmured, "Father..."

King Neptune turned to Chris, his face alight with emotion. "And we owe it all to Captain Chris!"
