In the banquet hall, Rocks and Rose were tasting various specialties of Fishman Island.
Other leaders of the Rocks Pirates who were brought by the soldiers were also busy eating various delicacies.
"Hehehe, the special food of Fishman Island is really good! This is the first time in my life that I have eaten such delicious and unique food."
Moriah kept praising the food while he ate, while Sasaki beside him was so busy that he didn't even have time to talk.
His entire mouth was filled.
Not far away, Barrett was teasing Neptune's sons, and from time to time he would knock the anxious Rolling Star to the ground with a punch.
Erida and Barbossa were bored and kept fanning the flames of the princes.
The whole banquet looked like a joyful occasion.
After Rocks and Ruth ate some food, they sat next to Neptune.
"Well, if you have anything to say, please speak now, Your Majesty Neptune."
Rocks picked up a glass of red wine and tasted it fully, while waiting for Neptune's next words.
Neptune did not speak, but looked at Princess Otohime beside him.
Princess Otohime took a deep breath and finally spoke, saying what she wanted to say.
Rocks drank red wine and listened attentively to Princess Otohime's suicidal words.
As Princess Otohime spoke more and more, Rocks' brows furrowed slightly.
After a long while, when Princess Otohime finished speaking, Rocks finished the red wine in the glass.
Several people fell into silence for a moment.
The atmosphere slowly fell into dullness in this silence.
Everyone turned their eyes to Rocks and Neptune.
"Hehehe, did their negotiations break down?"
Moria glanced at Rocks, looked at his frown, and asked Sasaki beside him with a grin.
After Sasaki swallowed all the food in his mouth in one breath, he grinned, revealing a mouth full of fangs.
He also gently pulled the long sword at his waist out of its scabbard.
“Hahaha, never mind. We just need to wait for the signal from Boss Rocks. Then, Neptune’s head will be left to me.”
When the soldiers and ministers around heard Sasaki's words, they suddenly tensed up.
"Hehehe, Sasaki, don't scare these guys."
Moria glanced at the alert soldiers around him.
"We are invited guests, so please be gentle when the time comes!"
Moria's words made the surrounding soldiers and ministers tremble with fear even more.
Lafitte twirled the sword in his hand, standing in a corner, looking at the banquet hall which had fallen into dullness and his companions who were ready to make a move.
"Haha, I'm really looking forward to what will happen next. Will everything be safe and sound, or will Fishman Island completely change its owner?"
"Yohoho, conquering Fishman Island? It seems like a good choice."
Brooke, who was standing next to Lafitte, seemed to have thought of something after hearing what Lafitte said, and had a lewd smile on his face.
Rocks ignored the thoughts of his companions.
He frowned at this moment, not because of the breakdown of negotiations with Neptune or Princess Otohime.
He was just weighing the pros and cons of the conditions proposed by Princess Otohime.
I have to say that the chips offered by Princess Otohime are really too tempting.
It was so tempting that even Rocks had to think carefully for a while.
After a long time, Rocks finally made up his mind.
"Princess Otohime, I have to say that you are an admirable woman."
"Fishman Island is extremely lucky to have a princess like you."
"I accept your terms."
“Huh… ….”
After hearing Rocks' words, Neptune and Princess Otohime both breathed a sigh of relief.
Princess Otohime stood up with an extremely happy smile on her face and bowed slightly to Rocks.
"Thank you very much, Captain Rocks. I hope we can have a very wonderful cooperation."
"Oh, I'm looking forward to it too."
Rocks raised the red wine in his hand, nodded it to Princess Otohime, and then drank it in one gulp.
The entire banquet hall returned from dullness to joy after Rocks and Princess Otohime reached a cooperation.
And because of Princess Otohime's gesture and Rocks' words, the battle became even more heated.
No one knows what kind of cooperation Rocks and Princess Otohime have reached, but it does not affect their excitement.
After all, cooperation between a super pirate group like Rocks and Fishman Island means an endless supply of wealth and powerful physical deterrence.
With the Rocks Pirates as their support, Fishman Island no longer has to worry about being harassed by those messy pirates.
In this sea, there are few lunatics who would take the initiative to provoke the Rocks Pirates.
Almost all those who dared to provoke were killed.
The joyful banquet proceeded happily with Brooke's music and Quinn's singing.
Rocks had also put aside his thoughts and was enjoying the joyful banquet.
"By the way, I met Fisher Tiger on the road. He told me that he has a younger brother named Jinbei. I wonder if Your Majesty Neptune knows him?"
Hearing Tiger, Neptune was stunned for a moment, then burst into laughter.
"Tiger! That guy actually became friends with a great pirate like you! I am really surprised."
"And I have heard of his younger brother Jinbe. One of his ministers said that he seems to be the current boss of Fishman Street."
After getting Neptune's answer, Rocks nodded.
"Then please, Your Majesty Neptune, send someone to take me to Fishman Street now. I have something to discuss with him."
"Huo Huo, no problem. But why are you so anxious to find him? I can send someone to find him, and you can continue to stay in this lively party, how about that?"
Neptune asked cautiously.
He was really afraid that Jinbe would accidentally offend Rocks.
After all, to be honest, the only powerful fighters on Fishman Island are Tiger and Jinbe.
Neptune would still feel reluctant if Jinbe was killed by Rocks because he accidentally offended Rocks.
"Haha, don't worry, Your Majesty Neptune. Tiger was used to being alone and free, so he rejected my invitation. But he introduced his brother to me, so I really want to see what kind of person Jinbei is, who was praised by Tiger as being stronger and more potential than him."
Rocks noticed a hint of worry in Neptune's expression and immediately took the initiative to explain.
After listening to Rocks' explanation, Neptune breathed a sigh of relief and was secretly happy.
After all, if Jinbe joined the Rocks Pirates, then given Jinbe's character, the cooperation between the Rocks Pirates and Fishman Island would be more stable in the future.
For this result, it is a complete win-win situation.
"Oh, I see. Then I'll arrange for someone to call him over now."
Neptune stood up and prepared to call the guards to go and get Jinbei.
However, Rocks did not want to leave a bad impression on his future partner Jinbe, and directly rejected Neptune.
"No, I feel a little bored now, so I'd like to go to Fishman Street. So, let someone take me directly to Fishman Street."
When Neptune heard Rocks say this, he didn't say anything more and personally ordered the guards to bring Rocks safely to Fishman Street.
"Ah, then I will be leaving first. Your Majesty Neptune, please take good care of my companions when the time comes."
After saying that, Rocks and the guards who led the way left Ryugu Castle directly.
"What a fascinating man."
