Chapter 168 The reluctant person
"Why should you think about it?"
"If the matter between and is not resolved, she may be angry with Fish-Man Island, and even Meng Xuan and Luffy may be implicated..biquge" Jinbei sighed and said.
"Alele, although our Straw Hat Pirates are short of manpower, we are not weak enough to be frightened by a mere Yonko. Tell him who you are, Luffy."
"I am the man who wants to become the Pirate King!"
"You guys..." Only then did Jinbei realize that the voice was not from Neptune.
"I didn't expect that Jinbei, who carries the name of Sea Hero, would be timid sometimes." The two people behind him are naturally the Monkey brothers.
"You guy..." Jinbei wiped the tears from the corners of his eyes, and then cursed with a smile.
"Jinbei!" Suddenly Luffy glared at Jinbei.
"Huh? What's wrong? Brother Luffy?" Jinbe looked at Luffy who was suddenly angry in confusion.
"If you are afraid of becoming my partner for this reason, then I will not agree!"
"It's not just because of this..." Jinbei was stunned for a moment, then suddenly laughed. However, he was not surprised or angry at Luffy's reaction. This was the man he liked, the man who was always mentioned by Ace and whom Meng Xuan was willing to drive, Monkey D. Luffy! "I do still have some things to do, and there are still some things that I need to discuss with you. But now that you two are here, I don't have to run away anymore."
"What's going on?" Meng Xuan raised his eyebrows. "Let's talk about borrowing money. I'm very poor now."
"You bastard just emptied the palace's treasure trove, you are so poor!" Jinbei almost couldn't swallow his breath! This guy, the heavy atmosphere that was finally established was completely destroyed by this guy in just a few words. If this guy had the same IQ as Luffy, he would be so cute.
"You are really borrowing money?" Meng Xuan screamed and pulled Luffy up to walk out.
"Why would I borrow money from you?" Jinbei grabbed Meng Xuan who was about to leave. This guy really has no rules for doing things, and it's very difficult for people to grasp his standards.
"It's not a loan, I told you earlier!" Someone who was still in a hurry immediately hugged Jinbei's shoulders with a smile on his face. He acts like a good brother, no need to be polite.
"I don't know why. When I see the way you are now, I always have the idea of punching your face with all my strength..." Jinbei slapped away Meng Xuan's big hand on his shoulder in disgust, and then quietly put his hand on his shoulder. The distance between Meng Xuan increased to two meters away. "What I want to discuss with you is, if the peace talks between our Sun Pirates collapse, can you help lend your flag to Fish-Man Island?"
"This matter is very easy to handle." Meng Xuan waved his hand generously. "Just prepare a meal of treasure for us every month."
"Pretend I didn't say anything."
"Have you never heard of someone asking for a high price and then sitting on the ground to pay back the money?"
"No." Jinbei looked like a dead pig not afraid of boiling water.
"Then it's the same now that I heard about it." Meng Xuan walked to Jinbei's side very calmly, and then sat down on the ground. "Jinbei, come on, come on. Let me explain to you what it means to pay back the money on the spot if you ask for a high price. With our relationship, the cost of the explanation is easily negotiable."
"Okay, I have decided not to use your flag anymore."
"Don't worry, this fat uncle hasn't decided yet." Meng Xuan directly bypassed Jinbei and changed the target of his attack. "How about using White Star as collateral?"
"Okay, I have decided not to use it." Neptune, who was still smiling at Meng Xuan's nonsense, immediately changed his expression.
"That's it. So, what if it's this flag?" Suddenly Meng Xuan took out another flag from his arms.
"This is..." Jinbe and Neptune immediately widened their eyes.
"What about this one?" Meng Xuan took out another flag from his arms.
"Why do you even have this?"
"This is actually not bad, and the price is the lowest." Meng Xuan finally took out another flag. A straw hat is very conspicuous on the flag.
"Okay, you can use our flag and these two flags as you like, it's free. That banquet was great. I liked it very much, and this will be regarded as a thank you gift for that banquet, hehe..."
"You prodigal guy!" Meng Xuan grabbed Luffy's neck and threw him out, but Jinbei had already taken away all three flags with quick eyes and hands.
"Give it back to me!" Meng Xuan looked at Jinbei coldly.
"This is given to you by your captain. As a mere vice-captain, you have no right to take it back." Jinbe looked at Meng Xuan proudly, and then he pushed all the flags under his butt.
"Tch, forget it, I'll let you go today." Meng Xuan, who was still aggressive at first, suddenly waved his hand casually and left the main hall of Dragon Palace City.
"Is this... a weird situation?" Neptune, who was already prepared to be slaughtered, looked at the leaving figure in shock.
"Haha... That boy wanted to do this. But he didn't want us to thank him for his kindness. This guy is actually as kind as his two adopted brothers." Jinbei laughed.
"But it's the attitude towards the enemy..." Neptune remembered something. His face became much gloomier.
"Forget it, at least we are his friends..." Jinbe also knew what Neptune was thinking. Meng Xuan got all the cadres from the prison onto the Sonny in one go. Those cadres who were already aging were directly used by Meng Xuan to do whatever they could. reason? The research on dangerous drugs was Meng Xuan's reason, and in addition to these cadres, there were nearly a thousand seriously injured Yumen Street rebels who were also Meng Xuan's experimental props.
"Killing all these people within an hour, is this kind of thing... really okay?" Neptune turned his questioning gaze to Jinbei.
"Meng Xuan showed some restraint this time. At least he captured the most solid ones among the rebels. Even if they were released, it would cause great trouble to the safety of Fish-Man Island. Just think of it..." Jinbe said in a tone that he could barely hear. "Just think of it as a precaution for the safety of Fish-Man Island..."
"At this time... I can only use this method to anesthetize myself..." Neptune sighed. What Meng Xuan did was for the good of Fish-Man Island, although the method was indeed a bit radical...
"Ah...it's finally time to go!" Luffy, who had returned to the Sonny, immediately yelled excitedly. This was an adventure that had been delayed for two years. Now it was finally coming true. How could he not be excited?
"But now...it seems like someone doesn't want to let us go." Nami glared at Meng Xuan, who was pretending to be innocent, and then looked helplessly at someone who was clinging to the side of the ship. (To be continued)
