Pirates: Vice Captain of the Nine Snakes Pirates!

Chapter 236: The World Government's Wooing

After the matter was settled, Jellal quietly came to the beach again. A super-giant sea king was already waiting there. Jellal jumped up and jumped into its mouth. Then, the sea king quickly disappeared under the water.

In the dark, Rayleigh stared blankly at the scene just now: "What's going on... Could it be that the Sea King has awakened?"

Rayleigh recalled the scene in disbelief. The more he thought about it, the more horrified he became. The more he thought about it, the more certain he became that the Sea King had really awakened! And he had even joined the Nine Snakes Pirates!

"Rayleigh, what's wrong with you?" Raleigh returned to the bar. Xia Qi also came back at this time. Seeing Raleigh's absent-minded look, she asked curiously.

"what?"

"Oh... nothing, I was just thinking about Jellal's plan. By the way, is the publicity done?" Rayleigh came back to his senses and continued to show his usual indifferent expression on his face.

Seeing that Rayleigh was unwilling to talk, Xia Qi did not force him, because she knew that Rayleigh would definitely tell her anything he could, and it would be useless to ask if he could not talk.

"Everything has been arranged. Let's see how they perform." After saying that, Xia Qi looked outside with a hint of worry in her eyes.

"Don't worry, there is no problem with Gerard's plan. I also believe that their plan will succeed!" After Rayleigh said this, he poured himself a glass of wine and started drinking.

After listening to this, Xia Qi showed some doubts in her eyes. She just heard that Rayleigh's tone was so certain!

If Rayleigh knew what Xia Qi was thinking, he would definitely say, "Nonsense! The Sea King is in league with them, how could he not have confidence?"

..........

After finishing his work at Fishman Island, Jellal immediately returned to Ryugu Castle.

He was not worried about being exposed here, and no one knew that the Nine Snakes Pirates were here. When they just returned to Fishman Island, Jellal had already killed those spies.

"Brother Jellal, you're back?" The one who came to pick up Jellal was Shirahoshi. When she saw the sea king bringing Jellal back, she immediately came over to greet him.

"Well, you're back, Shirahoshi. Where are your sister Snake Princess and the others?" Jellal stretched out his hand, and Shirahoshi cooperated by lowering her head to let Jellal touch her. She really enjoyed the gentleness of the Nine Snakes Pirates towards her.

Sister Snake and the others are all asleep. They seem to be saying that they will have a big fight tomorrow, so they need to have a good rest." Bai Xing said with a blush on her cheeks.

"Then let's go back too. By the way, Shirahoshi, how big a range can your ability control now?" Jellal held Shirahoshi's hand and walked slowly towards Ryugu Castle.

"Well... according to what Boss Jinbe said, Shirahoshi's current ability is enough to control half of the Sea Kings in the Grand Line!" Shirahoshi said after thinking for a moment, with a little pride on his face.

"Shirahoshi is awesome! Keep it up in the future~"

"Yeah! Shirahoshi knows~" Shirahoshi smiled sweetly. She would be happy as long as she could help everyone.

..........

As soon as the two of them reached the gate of Ryugu Castle, they saw Neptune and Jinbe walking towards them.

"Mr. Gerard, you are finally back!" Seeing Gerard's figure, Neptune's originally frowned brows gradually relaxed.

"King Neptune, Jinbei, what happened?" Looking at the two people in a hurry, Jellal couldn't help but feel curious. Even Shirahoshi beside him was very confused: "What happened to my father and Boss Jinbei?"

“Mr. Jellal, the World Government has arrived.

To be exact, they came to see Master Jinbei. There are still many people in our Fishman Island who are controlled by the World Government, so they hope that Master Jinbei will join the Navy and become one of the Seven Warlords of the Sea.

We did not agree immediately, and Her Majesty the Snake Princess is sleeping at this time, so I would like to ask for your opinion." King Neptune said hurriedly.

"World Government?" Jellal turned his gaze towards Jinbe. He knew what control meant, in plain words, slaves in the hands of the Celestial Dragons. Now Neptune was talking about the World Government's agreement that as long as Jinbe became a Shichibukai, they would release the captured fishmen and mermaids?

"That's right!"

"Jellal is here now, so I want you to help me make a decision." Jinbei said very seriously.

Bai Xing on the side didn't quite understand, but he understood it almost exactly. In short, there was hope of rescuing their captured tribesmen.

There is one thing Neptune didn't say, which is that Princess Otohime is in favor of this matter. Although she is not as saintly as before, she still wants to cooperate with the World Government to rescue those enslaved people.

Hearing this, Jellal frowned and began to think. This matter was indeed a bit tricky. If not handled properly, there might be a rift between them and Fishman Island.

"King Neptune, Jinbe, the World Government's proposal is indeed hard to refuse, but I am sure they will not let you do as you wish.

They will not release all the captured mermaids. Their purpose is probably just to obtain Jinbe's bloodline factor. For this purpose, they can release some of the mermaids, but not all of them.

You should be able to figure this out, right?" Jellal looked at Neptune and Jinbei with a serious expression.

The two nodded. Of course they could think of these things, but as many as possible could be saved. This was the most real thought in their minds now.

Jellal also knew that they didn't want to miss this opportunity to save their people, so he now had an idea.

"Well, King Neptune, Jinbe, in two days our Nine Snakes Pirates will have a big showdown with the Navy at the Sabaody Archipelago. At that time, we can ask Jinbe to fight them in exchange for the release of the fish-man tribesmen.

As long as Jinbei can win this battle, things will be easy, what do you think?" Jellal suggested.

"Big fight?" Jinbei was very confused.

"Yes, in two days. We will leave in two days." Gerard replied.

Then Jellal told the two of them about the plan for the big fight, and successfully convinced the two Fishman Island bosses.

"I understand, Mr. Jellal, don't worry, I will do my best to win this fight!" Jinbei said with a determined look.

After that, Neptune relaxed a lot.

But when they thought that they would be separated from Bai Xing in two days, they suddenly felt a little uncomfortable.

"Shirahoshi, go back and be with your mother tonight. You will have fewer opportunities to get together in the future." Neptune stroked Shirahoshi's head, his face full of reluctance and kindness.

"Ok!"

"Bai Xing understands, father." When Bai Xing thought that she was about to leave, tears suddenly flowed out.

Gerard left quietly, leaving this time to their family.
