Jinbe was startled for a moment, realizing he was being tracked by the Marines. He looked around but then became confused again; there was no one there.
"Don't underestimate the Marines' intelligence capabilities. Besides, the Marines probably wanted you to test us a long time ago."
Luna said with a confident smile.
"That's right. Not long after you arrived in the New World, the Marines gave us such an order, and they gave it again recently," Jinbe said, nodding. He looked serious and troubled, because he and some other Warlord of the Sea could clearly see that the Marines just wanted to use them as cannon fodder.
"I appeared in the New World, and you are the only Warlord of the Sea who came to find me. The Marines will naturally pay close attention to you. I estimate that in places we can't see, but not too close, if you show any friendly behavior towards us now, Jinbe, the Marines won't let you off. You understand, right?"
Luna once again revealed a triumphant expression and said.
"Then what should we do?" Realizing the seriousness of the situation, Jinbe could only turn to Luna for help, because he believed Luna would definitely have a way to break this deadlock. Moreover, who didn't know that Luna was a clever young fifth emperor?
"You and I will put on a show, Jinbe. This is my new crewmate, Flower Fairy Beast. She is our Pirate Crew's lookout and a main crewmate. Her strength is at the level of a Reserve Admiral, similar to yours. You two fight now, and curse each other fiercely."
"Then you'll be defeated, and then cooperate with us in a show to make it look like we're forcing you to lead us to Fish-Man Island. Once we're underwater, I estimate those Marine spies won't be able to keep up."
Luna quickly explained the next course of action.
But in fact, it was also because she had a new mission, and a long-term one at that, which the system had just assigned to her.
"Detecting special circumstances, assigning the following mission to the Host."
"Engage the current Warlord of the Sea, including Blackbeard, a total of eight people. The Host or team members must defeat or cause the opponent to lose. Currently, 1/7 has been completed; Hawkeye has been completed. Reward: one arbitrary martial arts secret manual, one arbitrary weapon."
Subsequently, after some inquiry, Luna learned that not long ago, on that Deserted Island, Kuina and Tatsumaki had, to some extent, collaborated and successfully repelled Hawkeye.
If even the toughest nut could be cracked, then the others wouldn't be a concern for her. However, except for Blackbeard, the rest could be handled by The Girls themselves.
This guy was extremely troublesome, not only insidious and cunning, but his Dark-Dark Fruit ability also affected the system Devil Fruit The Girls had already consumed. In terms of experience and worldly wisdom, The Girls were no match for him and would certainly suffer in this regard, just like Ace once did, or like Ace now.
Even if the others hadn't eaten a Devil Fruit, they would probably find it difficult to defeat Blackbeard, not to mention the considerable overall strength of the Blackbeard Pirates.
Therefore, this guy could only be dealt with by her personally. As for the others, The Girls could completely handle them themselves, especially since many Warlord of the Sea were now actively heading to the Deserted Island.
She would personally deal with Blackbeard in the upcoming war.
However, besides him, she also needed to deal with Kuma. The reason was just two words:'salvation.' She wanted to save this excellent yet pitiful father, and also wanted to befriend Bonney.
After all, this guy is also a special Devil Fruit user; the power of the Age-Age Fruit is indeed formidable. Moreover, she is also very curious why, in the One Piece World, these special Devil Fruit are always eaten by women.
Perona beside her was like this, Staff Officer Tsuru and Ain of the Marines were also like this, and there was Bonney, and it seemed there was also Baccarat who ate the Lucky-Lucky Fruit, and Sugar; she would pay special attention to all these guys.
But perhaps this was just Oda, that old guy's, twisted sense of humor.
Anyway, no matter what, whether it was the resurrection or the Warlord of the Sea matter, she had to resolve it to complete the mission. Now was a good time to let Flower Fairy Beast show off her strength in front of the hidden Marine spies.
At the same time, it was also a good opportunity to defeat Jinbe, completing another 1/7 of the mission, reaching 2/7.
"I have no problem at all." Flower Fairy Beast's face shone with eagerness, like a bird about to spread its wings and fly, not only because this was her first battle, but also because she was eager to deeply understand the combat of this world.
"I also have no problem. Currently, I don't want to fall out with the Marines." Jinbe smiled, as if a spring breeze was blowing across his face. However, in an instant, his expression became serious, like a warrior about to go to war, and he assumed the starting stance of Fish-Man Karate.
"Hmph, get off our Pirate Crew, you hateful invader!" Flower Fairy Beast cursed, her voice like thunder, though it was just an act. She immediately flapped the wings on her back, like an arrow released from a bow, and charged towards Jinbe.
Flower Fairy Beast suddenly delivered a kick, her left leg descending like a battle-axe, with a faint dark glow on her boot, clearly indicating the use of the Armament Haki she had just acquired.
"Since that's the case, I won't hold back either, Plum Blossom Skin!" Jinbe immediately revealed a fierce look. He crossed his hands, like two sharp swords, and at the same time, his hands instantly turned as black as ink. In terms of Armament Haki, Flower Fairy Beast was utterly outmatched by Jinbe at this moment. Moreover, although Jinbe was considered a technical martial artist, his strength was naturally not to be underestimated, as he was to become the helmsman of the Straw Hat Pirates.
"Boom..." Jinbe easily blocked Flower Fairy Beast's kick.
"Your kick is too soft and weak." Jinbe showed a hint of contempt on his face, then swung hard, and Flower Fairy Beast was sent flying back like a kite with a broken string.
"But I haven't asked yet, what race are you exactly? I've never seen anything like it?" Jinbe's curiosity was instantly ignited, and he eagerly asked. In fact, he had wanted to ask this question for a long time, but there had never been a suitable opportunity, and now was the perfect moment.
"I am a spirit born from flowers, a member of the flower fairy clan. For Luna, I left the secret realm and officially became the lookout for the Pink Hat Pirates. Take this, Flower Fairy Cannon!" Flower Fairy Beast said with a playful smile. Immediately after, she brought her arms together, and her hands instantly transformed into a flower cannon muzzle. With a loud 'bang,' a green energy cannonball shot out from the muzzle like a meteor, speeding towards Jinbe with lightning-fast velocity.
