Chapter 972 – Since You See The Future, Why Don’T You Worship

As soon as he heard someone calling him, Jinbe was stunned and looked over.

What he saw was incredible.

A naked upper body with injuries all over his body was biting a cigar.

And an acquaintance drinking tea next to him.

“Golden Lion?! Kizaru?!”

Jinbe immediately got into a fighting posture and said with his eyes wide open, “You, why are you here!”

Why would a general and a reserve general appear in such an ordinary town?

Chasing Luffy?

No, that’s not right.

Is he going back to the New World?

But he did not see any traces of a Battleship…

“It’s just a meal, there’s no need to be so nervous, but…”

Kuro exhaled a mouthful of smoke and said, “Your self-proclaim is really interesting. The helmsman of the Straw Hat Pirates? You joined the Straw Hat Pirates? Shichibukai is not suitable to join a newly debuted pirate group? You are getting worse and worse.”

During the War of the Best, Jinbe protested to the Marine and World Government because of Ace and was imprisoned in Impel Down.

At that time, Marshal Sengoku wanted Jinbe to calm down. If he agreed, it would be best. If he didn’t agree to be locked up in Impel Down, he would not rebel.

In the end, this person escaped from prison.

From then on, he was naturally removed from Shichibukai and later escaped to the Fishman Island.

It is said that he belongs to Big Mom, but now it seems…

Helm?

The dignified Shichibukai went to be the helmsman of a newly debuted ship.

“He didn’t just debut!”

Jinbe said seriously, “Luffy, Luffy… will definitely become the Pirate King. I will be the helmsman of the Pirate King!”

“Ha, let him come out of the Country of Peace first.” Kuro smiled disdainfully. “Besides, what’s so great about Pirate King? He doesn’t care about methods. When he reaches the finish line, he will be Pirate King. What’s the point of that kind of Pirate King?”

Roger also secretly copied the Poneglyph from Big Mom back then. Essentially, he and Big Mom had little confrontation.

Although Roger can tie with Whitebeard in his prime, Big Mom may not be bad. If they really fight, it will not be so easy to get his Pirate King.

As for Straw Hat…

It’s still early!

With that level of power, Kaido would probably play with him again.

His aptitude may be good, but to face Yonkō (Four Emperors) head-on, or two…

Even gods can’t do it.

“Kingdom of Peace…”

Jinbe heard the hidden meaning in Kuro’s words and said, “What happened to Luffy in the Country of Peace?”

“Wouldn’t you know if you go and see for yourself?”

Kuro shrugged and pointed to the chair next to him. “However, we haven’t seen each other for a long time. Come and sit down. I have something to ask you.”

Kuro still gave face to the veteran Shichibukai.

These people have survived in the sea for so many years and maintain a name, so they are naturally not weak.

Well, the new one does not count.

Moreover, he had no ill feelings towards Jinbe. This guy could be considered a good man.

Jinbe pursed his lips and strode closer. “What do you want to do?! We are enemies!”

With two powerful people here, Jinbe may not be able to run away, especially Kuro, whose ability to sweep the sea water is useless.

“Enemy? Wait until your Captain runs out of the Country of Peace. You are not qualified now, Jinbe.”

Kuro waved his hand and said, “The intelligence said that you once sided with Charlotte Lingling. If you come with that identity, I will look at you seriously.”

With that, he paused and watched Jinbe sit down before saying, “I am now in charge of Shichibukai.”

Jinbe nodded. “Sand Crocodile entered your new Shichibukai. This matter has spread widely.”

Kuro smiled and said, “I am different from the World Government. I don’t care about the past, Jinbe. Although you betrayed your responsibility at the top and escaped from prison, you didn’t cause any casualties. If you are willing to come back, I can leave the position for you. Now that the Dragon Palace has gone to the World Government meeting, if you continue to be a bridge, you can let you mermen and merpeople go to the world faster.”

“Re-invite me?”

Jin Ping was stunned for a moment and shook his head. “Thank you for inviting me, but I have already made an oath with Luffy and am the helmsman of the Straw Hat Gang! My current goal is to help Luffy ascend to the throne of the Pirate King! Golden Lion! Kizaru! Even if I fight the two of you here, I will not yield! I am the helmsman of the future Pirate King!”

“What are you saying…”

Kuro chewed on his cigar and leaned back. “You want to say this, you want to be my helmsman?”

“Huh?” Jinbe was a little puzzled. “Please don’t laugh at me!”

Kuro shook his head and smiled without explaining much.

As for the Pirate King, he could become one if he wanted to.

He was sure that Luffy could defeat Kaido and Big Mom.

However, Kuro was not sure if he could become a Pirate King or not.

This is because the definition of the Pirate King is very strange in the current world. It is not that he is strong, nor is it that he has many pirate subordinates, but the main point is that he is a Pirate King.

But in this case, he, Kuro, is also the Pirate King.

Because he has Raftel’s Permanent Pointer!

Do you think the person closest to the Pirate King’s throne must be a pirate?

No, it’s Marine!

The person closest to the Pirate King’s throne is not Yonkō (Four Emperors), nor Shichibukai, nor the silver medalists on the sea!

No, it’s him, Kuro!!

Speaking of the Future Pirate King, he, who holds the permanent pointer of Raftel, should be the closest. It can even be said that he can sit on it as long as he is willing.

You’re the helmsman of the ‘Future’ Pirate King? Isn’t that the same as being my helmsman?

Since you see the future, why not bow?

“Forget it, you can do whatever you want, Blue Fatty.” Kuro leaned back in his chair, his face full of indifference.

Jinbe was stunned. “Aren’t you going to catch me? I am ready to fight you.”

“I’m in a period of recuperation now and there are no orders from above, why should I catch you properly? Of course, if you really want to be caught, old man, you move and help him sneak into Impel Down.” Kuro rolled his eyes.

He was too injured to move.

“Oh, so scary. Do you want to fight with ‘Sea Warrior’ Jinbe?” Kizaru said and raised a finger.

Jinbe gritted his teeth and suddenly pushed upwards, breaking through the roof and turning it into a hole. Inside the hole, a bag of gold coins was thrown down.

“Consider it my compensation!”

The voice got farther and farther away and gradually disappeared.

“Moo…”

Kuro glanced at the outside world and shook his head.

“Kuro, are you letting him go just like that?” Kizaru said with a smile.

“Didn’t you also not make a move? You are a general, you have orders, how can I not go?” Kuro said.

Why did they capture him? Couldn’t they let him go to the Country of Peace and cause trouble for Kaido and Lingling?

This person’s combat power can do this.
