Jinbe stood in his wooden sandals with his arms folded before him and smiled faintly. "I didn't expect Bartholomew Kuma to come too."
"I always thought nothing interested him except carrying out the World Government's orders."
"Especially with relations between Chris and the World Government so tense."
Jinbe and the others knew little about Bartholomew Kuma.
