280 Big Mom Anger, Return to New World

"Jinbei? I didn't see him when I visited Fishman Island this time. Maybe he has his own things to take care of" 

Whitebeard remarked. He also held some appreciation for Jinbei.

"If Fishman Island is in a dangerous situation. Boss Jinbei wouldn't just ignore it. He might be in trouble. You don't understand, Boss Jinbei has always been kind to us"

Shirahoshi said, her voice tinged with worry.

"If there's a chance, maybe I'll just ask him to join the Whitebeard pirate too" 

Whitebeard jokes to cheer Shirahoshi

"Alright, alright, that sounds great. Boss Jinbei is really great," Shirahoshi exclaimed happily.

......

However, at this time, Jinbei isn't doing so well, and let's rewind to before the crisis at Fishman Island.

When Jinbei heard about Hodie Jones and Van der Decken IX planning a coup, he personally tried to persuade them to resolve everything peacefully.

However, due to the protection of Minister Chocolate from the Big Mom Pirates, it also involved the interest of Big Mom. Jinbei was powerless and couldn't stop them.

So Jinbei personally went to Big Mom's territory, trying to persuade her to intervene in Fishman Island problem

At that time, Big Mom hadn't received the news of Whitebeard's visit to Fishman Island.

She clearly didn't care about Jinbei's words.

"Jinbei, I admire you greatly, but that doesn't mean I have any interest in the affairs of Fishman Island. The internal matters of Fishman Island are beyond my control" 

Big Mom told Jinbei.

Frustrated, Jinbei wanted to leave Big Mom's pirate crew, but Big Mom was clearly reluctant to let go of such a powerful fighter easily.

Therefore, Jinbei becomes a prisoner on Whole Cake Island, locked within a prison book created and controlled by Charlotte Mont-d'Or, Minister of Cheese and eats Paramecia, Book-Book fruit making him book-human. Making Jinbei unable to return to Fishman Island.

While in prison, Jinbei also learned some news. For instance, he heard that Whitebeard had personally intervened in the political dispute on Fishman Island, declaring that Fishman Island is under his protection.

Upon hearing that the crisis on Fishman Island had passed, Jinbei felt relieved. However, Big Mom was furious about it.

"Damn that Newgate! Whitebeard! He killed my Minister of Chocolate!" 

Big Mom cursed angrily after she received the news. For a period of time, she was consumed by anger every day.

Whitebeard's actions, killing her Minister of Chocolate, showed that he didn't care about her reputation and didn't take her seriously at all.

This insult greatly offended Big Mom. How could she not react to such disrespect?

In her anger, Big Mom wants to face Whitebeard in battle. While she refrained from doing so, she began gathering her capable followers.

"I won't let Whitebeard get away with this," Big Mom gritted her teeth.

"I hope we don't start a war too easily," Jinbei said cautiously.

"Huh?" 

Big Mom's attention changes back to Jinbei. At that moment, Jinbei was locked in a cage within the prison book.

"Jinbei, do you still want to leave? I don't have the patience to play games anymore. If you want to go, you can go. I won't force you to stay, but you must leave something behind!"

As Big Mom spoke, she wore a heavy expression, indicating she might be considering giving up on Jinbei.

Jinbei understood exactly what Big Mom was talking about. He knew from the start that leaving the Big Mom pirate wouldn't be easy, and it would surely come with a price.

And the price depended on Big Mom's mood—or, more precisely, it all came down to luck.

In one corner of the room, there's a spinning wheel marked with various patterns, including hands, feet, eyes, ears, and other parts of the human body.

Big Mom often uses this method to punish subordinates who make mistakes. When the wheel spins, wherever the pointer lands when it stops is the price that person has to pay.

Despite the clear indication of what awaited him, Jinbei seemed remarkably calm. As a fishman, he was no stranger to facing challenges and injustice

This price was entirely acceptable to him. At least there was still a chance of leaving the Big Mom Pirates, which was enough for him.

"I accept," Jinbei said calmly.

"Very well, let's see then," Big Mom said, a trace of deadly intent flickering in her eyes as she ordered someone to bring the wheel over.

However, just as Big Mom was about to spin the wheel, the door suddenly swung open.

"Mom, the Four Sweet Commander have been summoned, and all ten ministers are on standby"

Baron Tamago reported as he entered the room.

While she didn't intend to confront Whitebeard directly, the authority of the Four Emperors couldn't be disregarded. Big Mom felt she had to make a strong impression on Whitebeard.

Otherwise, this guy who just defeated some Marines would start feeling invincible.

Big Mom immediately said, "Okay, let's go right away."

"Wait!" Jinbei shouted suddenly, realizing that this was an opportunity.

"Huh? Jinbei, whatever it is, wait until I come back to deal with you" 

Big Mom said, her focus was entirely on dealing with Whitebeard at the moment.

"I want to go with you." Jinbei said immediately.

"Mama-mamaa?" 

Big Mom's expression suddenly changed, and she asked, "Have you changed your mind?"

"You might need manpower now, and I hope I can do something for you"

Jinbei said calmly.

"Let him out," 

Big Mom ordered after a brief moment of silence.

Jinbei was immediately released, and Big Mom brought her huge face closer: "Jinbei, if you're loyal, I'll treat you well. But if you dare to betray me, I won't let you off easily."

In a fleeting moment, Big Mom's face turned unusually cold, but it quickly returned to normal. Jinbei had grown accustomed to this behavior, so he nodded without hesitation.

Since Big Mom didn't intend to engage in direct combat with Whitebeard but only to deter him, she only took one ship, her Quen Mama Chanter.

But the ship was filled with her own main forces; the four Sweet Commander were all there, along with ten other ministers and Jinbei. The combat power on board could be described as very formidable.

When Big Mom left, Whitebeard had already returned to his territory.

...

When Marco and the others saw Whitebeard returning on the massive Noah, they were all stunned but quickly greeted him.

"Oyaji, what a huge ship! What is this?" Marco asked as he approached.

"This is the Noah Ship. In the future, this will be the main ship of our Whitebeard Pirates as we sail the world," Whitebeard explained.

"Awesome!" Marco exclaimed 

"But we need to keep news about Noah as secret as possible. It'll be hidden in the future," 

Whitebeard emphasized deeply in this

"Well, this is incredible, with Sea Kings pulling it in front," Marco exclaimed.

All sixteen commanders of Whitebeard's pirates led their subordinates, neatly lined up to greet him, creating a grand scene.
