"What did you say?"

"Aaron was released by you?"

……

As soon as these words came out, it was like a pebble thrown into the water, which caused an uproar in the banquet hall, and the crew members were so angry that they gathered around him, and surrounded the ashamed Jinping in the middle, waiting for him to give a convincing explanation.

"That's right, it was released by the old man."

Jinping sighed and calmly admitted again, "Originally, for the sake of him growing up with the old man in Fishman Street, I wanted to give him a way to live, and I also warned him in advance at that time, if he continued not to follow the right path and be the evil side, the old man would arrive as quickly as possible to send him back into the city even if he was far away in the New World." ”

"Then why didn't you do it?" As one of the victims, Rose was trembling with anger, stared at him and asked sharply, "That guy has been in the slave trade for four years!" Do you know how many innocent people died at his hands? ”

“…… It was the old man who was derelict in his duties. ”

Jinping was silent for a while, and said ashamedly, "The old man asked a rear admiral who had just returned from that sea area more than three years ago, and the reply he got was that Ah Long was honestly doing business with a business family, so he believed it and mistakenly thought that Ah Long had not done anything evil that hurt the heavens and reason......

"Can you believe the Navy's words?"

Several of the younger crew members couldn't help but cry out angrily, and Rose even more unceremoniously accused: "Aaron's territory can be expanded, and it is indispensable to have local naval officers to escort him, and those people usually take no less bribes, and expect them to tell you the truth?" ”

"There are a lot of scum in the navy, and the old man knows this." Jinping sighed, "But the rear admiral asked by the old man has always been known for his ruthlessness, and his reputation has always been good, I thought he would not be like the moths of those branches, but I didn't expect it to be ......."

"What's that rear admiral's name?" Now it was Xia Nuo's turn to feel that something was wrong, frowned, and interjected.

"Virgo." Jinping replied, "I heard that he is now a vice admiral in the headquarters, and he is highly respected by the top brass of the Navy. ”

Sure enough, it's this guy...... Xia Nuo sneered in his heart, Aaron is doing things for Doflamingo, providing a large number of slaves for the Don Quixote family, and this guy Virgo is an undercover agent, as long as there is no danger of revealing his identity, it is naturally not surprising that this kind of help will be helped.

"Since this is the case, it is not the fault of the boss of Jinping, if you want to blame it, you can only blame the non-person, who was deceived by Aaron, and most of the responsibility lies on the vice admiral."

After pondering for a while, Xia Nuo felt that it was better to enlighten him face to face, and the fat-headed fish uncle who valued the most love and righteousness in the province fell into extreme guilt and couldn't get out, "I believe that if Jinping hadn't been deceived, then Ah Long would have been solved by you yourself, and it would definitely not be my turn to rescue the people in the dungeon." ”

The rest of the crew gradually calmed down at this time, and after thinking about it carefully, they also thought that this matter could not be blamed entirely on Jinping, so they did not continue to ask, but followed their own captain to comfort them.

"Ladies and gentlemen......"

Jinping was so moved that his eyes were red, and his lips moved for a long time without being able to say a word, he looked around at the crowd, first bowed deeply and bowed, and then smiled bitterly at Xia Nuo and said:

"Don't hide it from Brother Xia Nuo, the old man was worried that you would hate our fish-people because of your enmity with Ah Long, and even when you first entered Dragon Palace City, the old man suspected that you were taking the opportunity to get close to His Majesty Neptune, and secretly had other plans."

"Jinping." Neptune on the side suddenly looked a little embarrassed, isn't this something that the two of us secretly discussed before, why did you just break it in front of you?

"It's okay to say it now, Your Majesty." Jinping shook his head at him slightly, "Before, the old man lived the belly of a gentleman with the heart of a villain, and His Excellency Xia Nuo is a broad-minded person, so we should also be honest with each other." ”

Saying that, Jinping turned his head to look at Xia Nuo again, and said sincerely: "Brother Xia Nuo, although you are willing to forgive the old man, but the old man can't let himself go so easily, so let's do it, in the future, the old man, and even the entire fish-man pirate group will owe you a great favor, if there is anything that can help in the future, the old man will definitely arrive as soon as possible, go to the soup and go to the fire, and do not hesitate!" ”

After saying this, he took out a life card from his arms, tore off a part and solemnly handed it to Xia Nuo's hand.

Jinping's chivalrous spirit is too heavy, Xia Nuo looked at the life card that was forced into his hand, sighed secretly in his heart, and could only nod silently to accept it, although such a person is the best object to make friends, but it is really easy to be deceived and used.

Fortunately, it's himself who is standing here today, and he has no malice towards the fish-man clan, if he is replaced by a few people with ulterior motives, as long as he plans a little, it is estimated that he can turn the group of Jinping and Neptune, and he is the kind who is sold and helps count the money.

However, if this is not the case, can Jinping still be called Jinping?

Remembering that in the original comic line in his previous life, Jinping fought with Ace in order to protect Whitebeard, and later preferred to give up the position of the Seven Martial Seas and be imprisoned in the Advance City rather than accept the Navy Headquarters' recruitment to deal with Whitebeard, Xia Nuo felt a little fortunate while admiring it.

Although he was a bit lucky, he somehow brushed up the prestige of Fish-Man Island, but anyway, with Jinping's character, he could be regarded as a reliable ally for the first time in the future, right?

The old grievances that were brought up were revealed, and everyone returned to their seats to continue this grand thanksgiving banquet.

Seeing that the atmosphere was a little colder than before, Neptune mentioned a few things related to him, which made everyone laugh, and soon restored the banquet hall to its previous lively appearance.

And when the banquet was over, Neptune even asked his chamberlains to prepare a large number of luxurious rooms for the members of the entire Wind Pirates, each of whom was an independent room, occupying almost half of the main hall of the Dragon Palace City.

Jinping didn't leave immediately, but stayed in Xia Nuo's room, the two talked about it late at night, and the conversation was all-encompassing, from the old things of the fish-people in the past, to the current situation in the new world, they benefited from each other, and they were quite happy, and the friendship they had just established was suddenly consolidated a lot, and even faintly had a bit of a taste of confidants and old friends.
