The soft sound, at that moment, echoed across the deck like a bolt from the blue, lingering for a long time.
Looking at the many faces on the ship, he instantly became stiff and cold.
Jinbe was already mentally prepared, but he still sighed softly, his face full of helplessness.
"Brother Jinbe, are you kidding me? Bai Yu sent you to persuade Pops to surrender? That's impossible! Bai Yu would never do such a thing."
Ace was the first to come to his senses and shouted urgently.
If he hadn't been an old acquaintance of Jinbe and knew that Jinbe was a chivalrous and unparalleled person, he probably would have already thrown a Fire Fist.
" Ace, don't be too hasty. Let Jinbe explain himself."
Marco, who was standing nearby, quickly reached out and stopped Ace.
Just as Ace knew Jinbe well, he knew even more clearly that Jinbe would never joke about something like this.
This sudden announcement is probably not entirely unfounded.
As soon as he finished speaking, everyone's gaze, sharp as knives, fixed on Jinbe.
The initially pleasant atmosphere suddenly turned tense.
It seems that past friendships are no longer relevant; Jinbe clearly understands that he will be killed by the mob.
However, faced with Bai Yu's order, Jinbe could only sigh and say, " Pops, this is indeed a message Bai Yu sent me to deliver."
"He also said that he guessed you were planning to attack the Big Mom Pirates, and that he sent me here as soon as possible to prevent you from walking into the lion's den and committing suicide!"
Facing Whitebeard, who is known as the leader of the Four Emperors, there are probably very few people on the sea who can say such things in front of him. Jinbe, due to his chivalrous heart, clearly qualifies for this position.
However, the gasps and roars that erupted on the deck instantly caused the deck to explode.
" Jinbe, you've gone too far! We, the Whitebeard Pirates Whitebeard Pirates, treat you like a brother, and you dare to say such derogatory things about us? You're practically asking for death."
" Pops, let us take action and give Jinbe a good beating, so he'll know that our Whitebeard Pirates are the strongest force on the seas."
"That Bai Yu, he did indeed save our Whitebeard Pirates Whitebeard Pirates, but to speak of us like that, and to keep talking about persuading us to surrender, I, Jozu, am the first to object."
"Yes, Bai Yu is indeed known as the Pirate Emperor, but if we're really talking about the strength and foundation of our pirate crews, our Whitebeard Pirates would definitely win. As for the Big Mom Pirates, would our Whitebeard Pirates lose? That's just wishful thinking."
A jumble of voices rose up one after another on the deck.
Seeing the surging emotions among the crowd, Jinbe had indeed anticipated it, but he still sighed helplessly.
Jinbe was equally surprised when he first heard Bai Yu's request and was unwilling to carry out the message.
However, I knew Bai Yu wouldn't make things up without reason.
Furthermore, considering Whitebeard's past affection for Fish-Man Island, Jinbe did not want Bai Yu's words to come true, and could only reluctantly agree.
However, seeing the doubts all around him, his momentum deflated, and he was about to say something.
A pirate standing on the watchtower was the first to peek out.
" Pops, there's a pirate ship flying a blood-red flag rapidly approaching in the distance. If I'm not mistaken, it should be War Demon Bai Yu's Blood Flag Pirates."
"But, but this pirate ship is way too big!"
A stammering exclamation broke the one-sided situation.
Feeling the gaze, sharp as a knife, instantly move away from him, Jinbe breathed a sigh of relief, a bitter look on his face, and followed the gaze.
Actually, he joined Bai Yu's team three days ago.
Upon joining, the first task assigned to me was the epic mission of persuading someone to surrender.
They knew a little about Bai Yu's Blood Flag Pirates, both in terms of their members and their background.
Faced with that slightly panicked statement, Jinbe wanted to see just how big this so-called giant pirate ship really was.
However, upon first glance, the scene that caught Jinbe caused even his pupils to contract sharply.
In his eyes, the Whitebeard Moby Dick was already a colossal behemoth.
However, what they saw before them now, the pirate ship belonging exclusively to the Blood Flag Pirates, completely overturned their understanding.
This is practically an island!
The vast deck fell into a deathly silence.
Watching the massive, island-like Groseade, tearing through the sea at a speed completely contrary to its cumbersome size, approaching them.
Everyone's nerves were instantly on edge.
"Where exactly did this War Demon Bai Yu find this behemoth?"
Jozu's face darkened, and he clenched his fist tightly.
"However, whether it's a ship or an island, that brat dared to say he wanted to persuade the Whitebeard Pirates to surrender. I, Jozu, will absolutely not swallow this insult."
"As Pops's sons, we must show that guy the true strength of the Whitebeard Pirates. Everyone, stand at attention!"
Upon hearing this, the members of the Whitebeard Pirates, who had been scattered like a pile of loose sand, quickly came to their senses and clamored to step forward and form a line.
Seeing the hot-headed crowd, Marco's face Kotetsu. As he looked into the distance and saw the figures on the Groseade, his pupils contracted slightly, revealing disbelief on his face.
" Pops, something seems wrong. That guy seems to have gathered a bunch of monsters under his command!"
" Jozu, don't forget how Haki that guy was when he boarded the ship last time. Quickly tell the weaker ones to step down and stop embarrassing yourselves. This time, in this battle of strength, even our Whitebeard Pirates might be overwhelmed!"
Jozu's face froze instantly.
Unfortunately, before they could react...
A bone-chilling cold swept out like a hurricane.
With a languid expression and an eye patch on his forehead, Aokiji squatted on the edge of the boat, pressing his right hand towards the sea.
Ice Age!
Boom!
A vast expanse of frigid air swept out like Dotō tidal wave, instantly freezing the entire sea in its path.
The Groseade, which was originally tearing through the sea at high speed, crashed directly into the thick ice with tremendous force.
The newly frozen sea surface cracked open like a spider web under the impact of this massive force.
The next moment, a large swathe of thick ice was smashed and torn open, creating a gash that stretched towards the deserted island.
Originally, the Groseade, which was speeding along like an island piercing through the sea, finally slowed down thanks to the obstruction of the ice.
Ultimately, they were only a hundred meters away from the Moby Dick.
