One Piece: Starting with the enslavement of Wano Country!

Aladdin asked, puzzled, "Why?"

Jinbe did not answer the question.

Seeing that Jinbe remained silent, Aladdin did not pursue the question further, but instead asked, "So what do we do next?"

Jinbe's expression was serious as he said, enunciating each word clearly, "We're going to form a pirate crew!"

Hearing Jinbe's words, Aladdin frowned and said in a deep voice:

"Jinbe, although we have a good relationship, neither I nor the other brothers came here this time to form some kind of pirate crew with you."

"We've come to join the Beasts Pirates to repay their kindness in protecting Fishman Island!"

Jinbe, sensing his companion's dissatisfaction, wasn't annoyed. He grinned and said, "This is the Beasts Pirates' order!"

"Huh? Really?" Aladdin asked.

Jinbe smiled and nodded: "Of course, Aladdin, you've known me for a while now. Do you think I would lie to you?"

Aladdin's expression softened slightly, and he continued, "Since it's an order from the Beasts Pirates, then we'll obey."

After a pause, Aladdin asked, "Have you decided what to name our pirate crew?"

Jinbe's gaze returned to the sea: "I've decided! We'll call it the 'Fishman Pirates'!"

Aladdin laughed and said, "So direct?"

Jinbe nodded: "That's how it should be, so that people can immediately tell from the name that it's a pirate crew made up of fishmen!"

Aladdin had no objection. "Alright, I'll gather them together, and you can make the announcement."

Jinbe waved his hand and said with a smile, "Go ahead."

Soon, the fish-men gathered on the deck, and Jinbe once again recounted his plan to form a pirate crew.

After speaking, Jinbe's expression suddenly turned serious, and he said in a low voice:

"Listen up, everyone. We're not joining the Beasts Pirates now; we're going to explore the New World on our own."

"I think you know how dangerous the new world is, and no one will protect us."

"Whether you stay or leave is up to you."

"If you want to follow me and join the Beast Pirates, you must be prepared to die at any time."

After Jinbe finished speaking, he ignored the fishman's reaction and closed his eyes to rest.

Although these people had joined the Beasts Pirates with him, Jinbe felt he needed to make things clear.

Joining the world's strongest pirate crew and adventuring on your own are completely different things and cannot be compared.

This is different from what he told them on Fishman Island, so whether he stays or leaves, Jinbe won't say anything more.

The fish-men looked at each other in bewilderment.

Jinbe originally thought that some people would choose to leave and return to Fishman Island.

But to everyone's surprise, after only a brief moment of doubt, none of the fish-men chose to leave; one after another, they expressed their stance:

"Of course I'm staying! What do you take me for, Jinbe? A coward who's afraid of death?"

"That's right, that's right. If we were afraid of dying, we wouldn't have followed you to the New World in the first place."

"Yes, we decided to join the Beasts Pirates to repay their kindness, not to seek their protection."

"Whether I follow the Beasts Pirates or venture out on my own, I have no objection since it is their order."

......

Birds of a feather flock together.

Jinbe's title in the original work is "Knight of the Sea," and his benevolence and righteousness need no further explanation.

Most of the people he knew were kind and generous, except for Ah Long.

Jinbe opened his eyes again, a knowing smile on his face, and said, "Since you've all chosen to stay, then from now on we're all part of the same pirate crew."

"Ah, Jinbe, no, he's the captain now," a fishman said with a laugh.

The other fish-men joined in the laughter, saying, "Captain Jinbe."

Jinbe waved his hand somewhat embarrassedly: "It doesn't matter what you call me, it's just a name."

"Ha ha ha ha......"

Jinbe's embarrassment caused the other fish-men to burst into laughter.

Aladdin crossed his arms and thought about it seriously:

"Now that we have formed a pirate crew, we naturally need a pirate flag. It is the soul and symbol of a pirate crew, representing our beliefs and will."

The other merfolk chimed in, "Yes, yes."

Jinbe agreed, and asked, "Who can draw? Raise your hand."

"Me, me, me!" A merman raised his hand.

Jinbe nodded: "Okay, you're the one. Let's each think about what the pirate flag should look like, then you draw it, and finally we'll choose one from among them."

......

The fishmen quickly finalized their design, and after the drawing was completed, the pirate flag was slowly raised to the top of the mast.

Looking at the pirate flag fluttering in the wind, Jinbe announced loudly, "The Fishman Pirates are officially established today!"

......

The fishmen cheered.

Jinbe then loudly announced, "To celebrate the founding of the Fishman Pirates, let's have a banquet!"

"Oh, long live Jinbe!"

"Long live the captain!"

"Long live the Fishman Pirates!"

......

Fine wine and delicious food were soon served.

On the deck, the fish-men sat together, eating meat and drinking wine with gusto, enjoying themselves immensely.

Jinbe held his wine bowl, sipping his wine, and quietly watched his compatriots, arms around each other, laughing and joking.

Let's indulge ourselves one last time!

Next, they will face not only the harsh climate of the New World, but also the powerful and renowned pirates who are famous throughout the seas.

He will definitely make the name of the Fishman Pirates resound throughout the entire sea.

He wanted to deter others from attacking Fishman Island and his fellow countrymen because of the Fishman Pirates' reputation.

He wanted all the inhabitants of Fishman Island to not humbly beg humans, but to follow him and live on land with dignity.

He knew he might die.

But he is not afraid.

Jinbe's eyes burned with intense fighting spirit, an unstoppable force.

He is ready to fight for the future of his country and his compatriots!

Chapter 243 1497 years

After a night's rest, the Fishman Pirates, having recharged their energy, officially set sail.

The pirate ship cut through the waves, and Jinbe stood at the bow, holding a stack of the latest bounty posters in his right hand, gazing at the sea with high spirits.

Having served as a soldier in the Fishman Island royal army for so many years, this is the first time he's become a pirate.

Although he was a pirate, Jinbe did not intend to burn, kill, and plunder like other pirates.

What he wants is to become famous in the world and to become stronger in battle, and the bounty posters in his hand are his challenge list.

Just then, on the lookout tower, a fish-man suddenly shouted, "Captain, a pirate ship has been spotted ahead! Judging by the flag, it's the XX Pirate Crew!"

Jinbe's eyes narrowed, and he ordered, "Move the ship closer and prepare for boarding action!"

As before, Jinbe would directly order the enemy's pirate ship to be scuttled and sunk into the sea.

But right now, what they need is a fight!!!

"Yes, Captain!" the merman replied, and everyone took their positions, ready for battle.

Jinbe didn't use any cheat codes, so both sides had the same field of vision. They spotted each other's pirate crews, and the other side spotted them in return.

Seeing that the pirate crew was not only not retreating, but was instead moving closer to them, the pirate captain immediately asked his first mate, "What kind of pirate crew are they? I've never seen that pirate flag before."

The second-in-command shook his head: "I've never seen it before either. It must be a newly formed pirate crew."

The pirate captain nodded in approval.

In the New World, the most important thing is to recognize which pirate crew the skull and crossbones flag represents.

If neither of them recognized it, then this pirate crew must have just been formed.

The pirate captain coldly raised the corners of his mouth and sneered, "Since they're courting death, then we'll grant their wish."

Although pirate ships are equipped with cannons, they are not usually used.

If they sink the enemy pirate ship, what will they steal?

Those are all spoils of war!

The two ships quickly approached each other, and the two captains looked at each other across the water, both wearing the same contemptuous sneers.

The other party looked down on this pirate crew they had never even heard of, and even more so on Jinbe and his fish-men.

Jinbe also looked down on the other party; he was now a member of the Pirate King's crew!

The two captains gave the order almost simultaneously: "Kill them!"

After saying that, Jinbe leaped high into the air and jumped onto the enemy's pirate crew, charging directly at their captain.

The fishmen, weapons in hand, followed closely behind.

The pirate captain sneered, drew his broadsword from his waist, and grinned as he charged forward.

The pirates under his command also shouted and charged forward.

The battle is about to begin...

Jinbe's overwhelming strength quickly overwhelmed the enemy captain, and the other fishmen fought bravely, driving the enemy into a retreat.

The enemy pirate crew was quickly defeated.

On the enemy ship's deck, the fish-man pirates held another banquet to celebrate their victory in their first battle.

This scene was captured by a news bird.

Although he wasn't a powerful pirate, there are no weak pirates in the New World.

Despite having completely abandoned the New World, the Navy still offered bounties to Jinbe and his first mate, Aladdin.

After the banquet, the Fishman Pirates didn't linger; their pirate ship continued sailing forward...

Time flies, and a year has passed in the blink of an eye. The year is now 1497 in the Haiyuan calendar.

In that year, the Fishman Pirates, with their burning passion, strength ten times that of humans, and the home advantage of the sea, completely carved out a name that resounded throughout the New World.

People with absolute conviction grow very quickly, and Jinbe is a prime example.

His bounty has been rising steadily, from a rookie pirate to a bounty of 1.1 billion Berries.

Holy Land, Marie Gioia.

The Five Elders have also set their sights on this rising pirate supernova in the New World.

Satan looked at Jinbe's bounty and laughed, "I really didn't expect that a mere fishman would have such abilities."

Sacred Vochuri nodded in agreement: "Yes, it's only been a year since we set sail, and this fish-man named Jinbe has grown too fast."

Masaki chimed in, "Should we send him an invitation to join the Seven Warlords of the Sea?"

Pittor thought for a moment and said, "I think we should wait and see if he will challenge the Four Emperors next."
