Lafayette smiled slightly and controlled the coated Hades to sink to the bottom of the sea.
Another few hours passed.
The Hades successfully blocked the entrance to Fishman Island.
The fishman soldiers stationed at the entrance, after seeing the flag of the Mord Pirates on the mast of the Hades, hurriedly sent people to the Dragon Palace to inform His Majesty Neptune.
at the same time.
Without even checking the process, they just opened the entrance and let the Hades pass through.
Such hasty release made Maud quite speechless.
It’s no wonder that Fish-Man Island was so easily attacked by pirates due to its advantageous location.
It's not surprising that Maud would think so.
But he underestimated the intimidating power of the pirate group's flag in the eyes of others.
In the eyes of this group of fishmen soldiers, no one dared to steal the flag of the Mord Pirates, so they simply let them go.
The Hades passed through the ocean current channel at the entrance and arrived at the port bay.
"There are quite a few ships."
Mod stood at the bow of the ship and glanced at the many pirate ships anchored in the bay.
Ever since Neptune asked for the protection of his flag, fewer and fewer people dared to cause trouble on Fish-Man Island.
As the unrest subsided, the economy gradually recovered.
And it is these pirate ships anchored in the bay that bring the most economy to Fish-Man Island.
As long as the pirates who got off the pirate ship went to the street of the Mermaid Cafe, all the money in their pockets would be taken away by the beautiful mermaids of the Mermaid Cafe.
And he's the kind of person who's willing to be ripped off.
Maud slowly looked away.
He really couldn't move these pirates.
If it moves, it will most likely affect the economy of Fishman Island.
"You two use rock-paper-scissors to decide who stays to watch the ship."
Before Maude disembarked, the task of who would stay to watch the ship was directly left to Lafayette and the others.
Lafayette and the others looked at Maud's back and looked at each other.
It was a rare trip to Fish-Man Island, and none of them wanted to stay and watch the ship.
"Let me see the boat."
Hawkins randomly pulled out a divination card.
This card tells him that he will decide later who will stay to watch the ship's rock-paper-scissors, and he will be the loser.
Originally, he heard that there was a powerful fortune teller on Fish-Man Island and wanted to go there and pay him a visit.
But now that he had seen the results through divination, he gave up the idea.
At the same time, taking the initiative to take on this task can win the good impression of your companions.
"Hoho, thank you for your hard work."
Lafayette patted Hawkins on the shoulder before disembarking.
"Thanks for your hard work."
When Arthur passed by, he also patted Hawkins on the shoulder.
Luo just nodded towards Hawkins, looking rather cold.
Perona floated over holding a small flower umbrella and gave Hawkins a thumbs up.
Hawkins watched silently as his companions walked happily toward the Fish-Man Island town.
He suddenly felt that sometimes it was better to wait for the results to come out instead of divining the results in advance.
Maude took the lead, followed closely by Lafayette and the others.
As soon as everyone walked a certain distance, they saw a group of people approaching in front of them.
The leader is none other than King Neptune of Fish-Man Island.
Maud stopped and looked at Neptune, who was coming in a hurry. When he turned his eyes, he saw Jinbei coming with him.
If you look closely, you can see that even Xiaoba is in the team.
Neptune came to Maude and when he opened his mouth to speak, Maude interrupted him.
"Forget the polite words and go directly to the Dragon Palace."
"Well."
Neptune was stunned for a moment, then smiled helplessly, nodded and said, "Okay, Mr. Maude."
He wanted to call Maud "Sir" before, but Maud felt that he was the head of a country and it was not suitable to call others "Sir" in front of others, so he asked him to call him "Sir" instead.
"Please come with me."
Neptune had just arrived to greet Maud. Within two or three seconds, he turned around and led the way.
In front of Maude, he completely put down his airs as a king and even lowered his posture.
Neptune's attitude towards Maude was seen by the surrounding princes, civil servants and military attachés, soldiers and generals, as well as Jinbe and Hachi.
But they didn't think it was a big deal.
After all, Mod is the great benefactor of the Fishman Island, and he also carries the dream of the Fishmen to go to land and live under the sun.
Everyone quickly arrived at the Dragon Palace.
Neptune hosted a banquet for Maud and the others.
Except for Lafayette, everyone else wanted to go shopping on the streets of Fish-Man Island, so with Maud's permission, they left the table and went to the block.
There was not a single soldier in the huge main hall.
Because it's not needed.
Civil servants, military officers, and even the princes also exited the hall under Neptune's order.
In the entire hall, only Maude, Lafayette, Neptune, Jinbei, and Hachi were left.
This is what Maud meant too.
"Jinbei, I came to Fish-Man Island specifically for you."
Maude sat at the dining table, turning a blind eye to the rich dishes on the table, and turned her head to look at Jinbei.
Jinbei was startled when he heard this and looked at Maud in surprise, not knowing what he meant.
Originally, he thought it was strange to ask the princes, civil servants and military officers to step down and ask him to stay.
But he didn’t expect that Maud came to Fish-Man Island this time because of him
On top of the main seat.
Neptune had a strange look in his eyes, vaguely guessing something.
I was just a fan of the Jinbei authorities, so I couldn't immediately understand Mod's intention.
"I would like to invite you to join my pirate team, Jinbe."
Maude did not hesitate and went straight to the point and extended an invitation to Jinbei.
Next to him, Lafayette was slowly cutting into the fish fillet with sauce, but he was paying attention to Jinbe's reaction from the corner of his eye.
He definitely supports Jinbei's joining.
After all, Jinbei is a powerful warrior who is no less powerful than the Golden Emperor. The most important thing is that his loyalty is no problem at all.
Hachi, who was a little embarrassed, looked blankly at Mod who extended an invitation to Boss Jinbei.
In fact, until now, he is still a little confused.
With his status, he shouldn't stay in the hall, let alone sit at the dining table.
Jinbei looked at Maude who sincerely invited him to join, and a look of surprise slowly appeared on his face.
To be honest, from the moment he lost his position in the Shichibukai and returned to Fishman Island, his mind became extremely conflicted, or in other words, he was in a dilemma.
He wants to stay on Fish-Man Island and become a part of protecting Fish-Man Island.
On the other hand, he was worried that his identity as a pirate would bring trouble to Fish-Man Island.
Where to go, he still has no conclusion.
Then Maude, the great benefactor of Fishman Island, came and offered him an olive branch.
Jinbei was surprised, but he also had an inexplicable feeling that the future was suddenly clear.
"It is my honor to be a member of the Mord Pirates."
After coming back to his senses, Jinbe took the olive branch offered by Maud.
Maude smiled when she saw this.
Outside the hall.
The princes and Princess Bai Xing were lying in front of the window, secretly listening to the conversation in the hall.
Maud, Jinbe, and Lafayette, who are skilled in observation and seduction, had long noticed Shirahoshi and the others who were eavesdropping outside the hall, but they didn't pay much attention.
"Boss Jinbei wants to join the Mod Pirates..."
After hearing the movement inside, Princess Bai Xing and the princes looked at each other with shocked expressions.
The princes actually didn't want to see Jinbei, a reliable fighting force, leave Fish-Man Island.
But they also felt that Jinbei joining the Mod Pirates would be a good thing for Fish-Man Island.
Bai Xing didn't think so much.
Perhaps on a whim, she also wanted to board Maud's ship.

at first.
Mod felt that it shouldn't be difficult to invite Jinbe to join the pirate group.
But I didn't expect it to go so smoothly.
Maud smiled.
Tezoro and Jinbe are both rare strong men in the new world.
With their addition, the team's overall combat strength will be greatly improved.
And there's an Empress Hancock out there that he can reach out and pick at any time.
If you think about it this way, expand your power and increase your team size...
Implementing this kind of thing is not as difficult as imagined.
Maybe that's the benefit of fame.
Maude was in a good mood and finally looked at the delicacies on the table.
On the contrary, Jinbei was not in the mood to eat.
His eyes were lowered, thinking seriously about what benefits he could bring to Fish-Man Island after joining the Mod Pirates.
Just now, he agreed to the olive branch offered by Maud without thinking.
But he felt the decision was the right one.
As long as his power can bring value to the Mod Pirates.
It is equivalent to bringing value to Fishman Island.
He was still considering where to go, but his heart suddenly calmed down.
He thought that it was really great that Mod could come all the way to Fish-Man Island and invite him to join the pirate group.
"I will definitely not let you down..."
