The awakened Sanji patted Jinbe's arm, lit a cigarette, and said, "That's how our captain is. You'll see in the future, Jinbe, keep talking."
"Uh, alright..."
Jinbe scratched his head, his voice suddenly deepening, "There's another pirate, named Norton Sage."
Upon hearing this, everyone present changed their expressions.
"Sage? Who's that?" Luffy rubbed his chin, racking his brain, "Hmm... sounds familiar."
"Hey, Luffy, that's a big shot!" Nami's eyes sparkled with dollar signs, but quickly dimmed.
"Speaking of which, we still owe him two hundred million Belly, and that guy is now already..."
She didn't finish her sentence, and those who knew just remained silent.
"The white-haired guy."
Usopp didn't know, but he knew how to describe him, "Robin's brother."
"Oh! The white-haired guy!"
Luffy smacked his fist into his palm, suddenly realizing, "So it's him, what's up with him..."
Jinbe said, "He and Teach have always collaborated. The two of them annexed the old man's territory together. Compared to Blackbeard, his reputation is even bigger. He rules the sea with strong dominance and, along with Red Hair, Kaido, and Big Mom, is now counted among the Four Emperors."
"That's really impressive."
Luffy grinned, showing a mouthful of white teeth, not showing any discomfort, but rather quite pleased.
It's unclear whether he's genuinely happy or doesn't understand what the Four Emperors means...
"Speaking of which..."
Luffy, after finishing his meat-on-bone, picked up a bunch of grapes and stuffed them in his mouth, suddenly looked up, a hint of redness in his eyes, "Are there any dangerous beasts or the like here?"
Didn't see any beasts, but they indeed found a mud monster, and after a good beating, they rescued Shirahoshi and learned that Caribou had acquired quite a bit of treasure. If they found it, it would all belong to them.
As for the flying Caribou...
Inside the Dragon Palace City, two figures approached the fallen Caribou, eyeing the pile of treasure in front of him, one figure smiled:
"Lucky us, ready-made treasure."
The other figure said, "Then let's find a sack, pack it up, and take it away."
"Hey, what are you doing, that's our treasure!"
Just as they found a sack and were about to pack up the gold, silver, and precious coral in front of them, Nami and the others happened to come over and saw this scene and clearly saw those two figures.
Upon seeing clearly, she was stunned on the spot.
A mighty lion with a long mane and a leopard with long bangs...
"Tch!"
The lion snorted coldly, ready to step forward.
"Ignore them, our target is robbery." The leopard called out, turning to leave with the bag on his back.
The lion glanced at them and quickly followed suit to retreat.
"That's my treasure! Sanji! Zoro! Luffy! Go after them!"
Seeing them about to disappear, Nami's hair was almost set on fire, and she hurriedly directed the others to follow.
Meanwhile, in a square, an old fishman was pleading with a group of fishmen facing a man in a pink suit:
"The snack factory got destroyed by a group of rebellious fishmen. Can you give us a bit more time?"
"Your internal strife has nothing to do with us..."
The figure in the pink suit spoke in a rough voice: "You deliver snacks every month. Mama lends you the flag. That's our deal. If you break the deal, what awaits you is..."
He pushed his sunglasses up, revealing tiny eyes like mung beans, trying wide-eyedly: "Destruction!"
The figure in the pink suit resembled a small lion-type species, exhibiting ferociousness, yet with the mung bean-sized eyes, appeared somewhat cute.
"But we..."
The Fishman Elder wanted to argue but suddenly heard an angry shout.
"You damn thief, give back my treasure!"
A group of people was fiercely pursuing from behind, with the familiar figure in front wearing a straw hat.
"Ah! It's Lord Luffy! Has the banquet ended?" A female mermaid in the crowd said admiringly.
They had defeated the rebellious Hody Jones and were now beloved by Fishman Island.
"Ah... I'm so full, and the meat was delicious!"
Running, Luffy saw people and quickly smiled, "But the snacks on Fishman Island are the best!"
"What?!"
Pekoms exclaimed: "What snacks? Weren't there no snacks?"
He took out a stack of what looked like records, repeatedly checking, confirming nothing, "Four hundred million bounty Straw Hat boy? Has he reappeared after two years?"
As he spoke, he grabbed the fishman elder, who looked like a catfish, "Hey! Didn't you say the snacks were destroyed? What's with that Straw Hat boy? Deceiving Mama is a huge crime!"
"Ve-very sorry." The fishman elder raised his hand, "But, but..."
"Alright, Pekoms, pushing them won't bring out snacks."
A figure sitting nearby, with very long legs like bamboo poles, but an upper body resembling an egg, put down a teacup and slowly stood up, saying:
"Report to Mama, just destruction will do." Baron Egg took off his hat, slightly bowing to Luffy, casually speaking.
"What do you mean!"
Luffy's expression changed, "Why destruction over just snacks? I just ate them!"
"To you, they are snacks, but to Mama, they are important..."
Baron Egg pointed to a pirate flag hanging atop a building in the square, "Our Mama, one of today's Four Emperors, Big Mom, gave this island peace, in return requiring this island to pay a price, and since that's spoiled, rule-breakers need to be destroyed, otherwise Mama's rules are broken."
"Important, huh... I'm sorry, I didn't know it was that important!"
Luffy's expression turned solemn, giving a deep bow to Baron Egg before continuing, "I ate it, so if there's a problem, come to me!"
"I'm afraid not." Baron Egg sneered, "A make-believe pirate like you can't replace Fishman Island, nor underestimate us. Even if we lose the fight, you can't escape Mama's attack. The Four Emperors are beings that rule the seas, and this island's destruction is inevitable."
"Th-then we'll compensate with treasure! Use the treasure to buy your compensation, in that case, let Big Mom come find me!"
Luffy shouted loudly, "Even though we don't have the treasure yet, we're in pursuit, and as long as we find it..."
"Even if found, it won't be given to you."
Before he finished speaking, an unexpected voice rang out from the building above, widening the eyes of both Pekoms and Baron Egg.
Though the former could never widen his eyes much.
The two uniformly looked up to see the lion-human and leopard-human Nami saw earlier, suddenly appearing.
Their appearance bore a certain resemblance to Pekoms, covered with a lot of fur.
"Pedro..."
Baron Egg squinted his right eye beneath the sunglasses, which this fellow had injured in the past!
"Pe-Pedro Bro and Shishilian?!" Pekoms exclaimed loudly, "Why are you..."
Pedro and Shishilian, both carrying large sacks, jumped down from above, landing steadily, and smiled at him: "Long time no see, Pekoms."
"Been a while, Pedro Bro. Strange, why are you here? Have you set sail again?"
Pekoms puzzled, "But Pedro Bro, your body..."
"They're the ones who stole our treasure!"
Before he could finish, Nami pointed at them exclaiming.
"Hey, human girl, first come, first serve. The things we found are naturally ours."
Shishilian said a bit dissatisfiedly, "Don't act like we're the thieves, plus, we're pirates, thriving on robbing. We've heard there's a lot of treasure in Fishman Island's Dragon Palace City, so we came specifically."
"Pekoms, just like you."
This is when Pedro finally spoke: "You joined Big Mom, while we're bearing the flag of natural disasters."
At this, Baron Egg frowned and angrily retorted, "You came to Fishman Island? To fight us? This place is Mama's protection. You coming to rob is breaking the rules!"
Pedro turned to Baron Egg, "We don't care about that."
The two stared at each other, the atmosphere heating up, and then...
They simultaneously pulled out Radio Snails!
