- Chapter 677 - Retain, Neptune's choice! (Two in one)
The world is big, and there are many people of all kinds in it. Everyone has what they want to do, and everyone has their own dreams.
Even if someone as powerful as Tsukuni Yuichiro is powerful, he still cannot interfere with the choices of everyone around him.
In the bright cabin, Zefa stood by the window, with his hands behind his back, looking out the window without saying a word. On the sofa behind him, Tsukuni Yuichiro sat upright, and in front of him, Jinbei bowed slightly, his face full of seriousness and earnestness.
“Jinbei.”
“Have you thought about it? Have you decided not to continue to be the base chief of the Fishman Island branch?”
After a while, Tsukuni Yuichiro spoke slowly, and his tone was quite serious.
After several days of ideological struggle, Jinbei was ultimately unable to completely get out of this defeat.
The death of his subordinates left a deep shadow in his heart, which was difficult to digest.
“Yes, Mr. Tsukuni Yoichi.”
“I don’t think I’m suitable. I don’t have the ability to protect Fishman Island, I don’t have the ability to fulfill the duties of a vice admiral, and I don’t have the ability to protect my subordinates.”
Jinbei seemed to think of the companions who died in front of him again. His emotions fluctuated violently, his tone was full of self-blame, and even his eyes became moist.
Seeing Jinbei’s painful appearance at this time, Tsukuni Yoichi had been brewing words of persuasion in his heart for a long time, but finally swallowed them all back into his stomach.
“Really. Have you decided?”
Tsukuni Yoichi didn’t know how to respond for a while, his face was a little dark, and after the voice fell, Yoichi also accepted this fact. His body seemed to have no strength, and he slowly leaned back on the sofa chair.
Zeff, standing in front of the window, turned his head slightly and glanced at Jinbei, and then his eyes fell on Tsukuni Yoichi, with a little worry in his eyes.
Compared to Jinbei who gave up the position of base chief, Tsukuni Yoichi’s current state is more worrying for Zefa.
In his impression, Yoriichi Tsugakuni has always been surrounded by partners with the same goals.
Whether it is Mihawk or Ichisho, Yoriichi Tsugakuni’s partners are strong and firm. Even Koshiro and Cyrus in the past are the same. Although these two people have withdrawn from the front line due to family reasons, their hearts are still closely connected with Yoriichi Tsugakuni.
As long as Yoriichi Tsugakuni needs them, they will return to the front line for the new navy.
Nowadays, although the entire organization of the new navy has expanded countless times, there are more and more people around Yoriichi Tsugakuni.
For so many years, there has never been a situation where someone “falls behind”.
Jinbei is not the only general who has suffered a blow, but Jinbei is the first one who feels that he has failed to live up to expectations and is unwilling to continue in this position.
For Jinbei personally, he does this to follow his heart. He feels that he needs to take responsibility for the death of his subordinates, and his way of taking responsibility is to “let the wise man go.”
But this does not mean that Jinbei’s ability is really lacking. He failed simply because the enemy was too strong. Neither Tsukuni Yuichi nor Zephyr thought of asking Jinbei to take responsibility for this.
In their opinion, the best way for Jinbei to take responsibility is not to resign, but to bravely take on the duties of a vice admiral, rebuild the branch of Fishman Island, restore the order of Fishman Island, and restore the prosperity and stability of the past.
However
Once a person with Jinbei’s personality gets stuck in a dead end, even if Tsukuni Yuichi and Zephyr persuade him together, it may not have any effect.
He is a person with a strong opinion and has his own set of values in his heart.
Benevolence
Jinbei regards this as more important than life.
“Sorry.”
“Mr. Tsukuni Yuichi”
Seeing that Tsukuni Yuichi had not spoken for a long time, Jinbei also felt the other party’s embarrassment. He also knew that it would be difficult for the new navy to give up at this time.
However, Jinbei did not fail to consider this point, so he continued:
“Mr. Tsugikoku Yoriichi, I think Brother Tiger is more suitable to be the base commander of Fishman Island than me.”
“He is strong and gentle. If it were him, he would definitely not be like me.”
Jinbei has a blind admiration for Tiger, perhaps because of the so-called childhood filter. He grew up in Fishman Street. In the eyes of the children of their generation, Tiger, the first to leave Fishman Island and travel around the world, is the idol of all of them.
This kind of childhood filter has never disappeared until now.
Hearing this, Tsugikoku Yoriichi still did not speak. What Jinbei said, he and Zefa had actually considered it a long time ago.
These days, the two of them have been observing Jinbei. Looking at Jinbei’s state, they actually have a plan in their hearts. As Jinbei said, if Jinbei does not become the base commander of Fishman Island, Tiger is the best candidate.
There is no doubt about this. After all, the geographical location of Fishman Island is special. The vice general guarding here must be a fishman or a mermaid. Tiger has a high prestige among the mermaids. Jiguo Yuanyi saved his life. Tiger himself is a man who values friendship and loyalty.
Except for a little lack of strength, everything else is very suitable.
And this “lack of strength” is only relative. Although he is far from the general-level combat power, he is more than enough to serve as a vice general. What’s more, in the geographical environment of Fishman Island, Tiger is still at home.
Regarding the selection of the new generals of Fish-Man Island, neither Enichi Tsukuni nor Zefa felt embarrassed or entangled. The embarrassment and entanglement they felt was actually Jinbe himself.
They don’t want to see such an outstanding guy sink like this.
Especially Zefa, he is someone who has had similar experiences and can empathize with the current Jinbei. It is precisely because of this that Zefa understands that the period of retreating behind the scenes is actually not easy.
In his spare time, Zefa would always think of his wife and children involuntarily, imagining that if he could be more decisive back then, if he could kill all the pirates and make everyone deeply afraid of him, would those pirates be afraid of him? They would not dare to take it out on their family members because they were afraid of death.
If it weren’t for the fact that he was bound by his title of “No Killing General”, wouldn’t those pirates dare to deal with his family so arrogantly?
It took Zefa most of his life to get over that kind of pain.
Taking advantage of the “fall” of Jiguo Enichi, he said goodbye to his past self. Today, he feels extremely fulfilled. Although he often misses his family, seeing disciples like Kuzan and Jiguo Enichi facing each other has made him happy. As he moved towards his goal, his empty heart was filled.
And Jinbei is afraid that he will continue to encounter everything that Zefa once encountered.
Whenever night falls, Jinbei will be enveloped in feelings of self-blame and regret.
These were all foreseeable by Jiguo Yuanyi and Zefa.
“Jinbei, I will seriously consider your suggestion.”
“If there are no problems with Tiger, the burden of rebuilding the Marine Branch on Fish-Man Island will be left to him.”
“but.”
“What we are most worried about is actually you. If you continue to be immersed in such pain, it will be troublesome.”
“Jinbei, since you don’t want to be the base commander, what do you think about letting you assist Tiger in rebuilding the Fisherman Island Naval Branch?”
“Your rank of lieutenant general will still be retained for you, but the position will be assigned to Tiger. What do you think?”
What Enichi Tsukuni is thinking about now is actually how to place Jinbei. He is an excellent guy, and it is really unjustifiable to let him resign.
Even in the Navy Headquarters, which was not so impersonal, when Zefa wanted to resign, the then Marshal Cyborg Kong still tried his best to retain him.
The new Navy will not do worse than the Navy Headquarters in this regard.
As Ji Guoyuan spoke, he couldn’t help but turn his head slightly and look at Zefa behind him. Zefa, who was standing in front of the window, nodded slightly and expressed his approval.
Zefa was more experienced in this kind of thing. After Kunei Enichi’s idea was approved by Zefa, he also turned back to look at Jinbei. Noticing the somewhat troubled expression on Jinbei’s face, Enichi continued to persuade:
“After the turmoil on Fish-Man Island, the people’s sentiments have changed.”
“These days, King Neptune held the funeral of his wife, Princess Otohime, and his two children in Ryugu Castle.”
“You didn’t go, so you didn’t see King Neptune’s current state.”

“Neptune, who lost his family, behaved very decadently. I heard that Princess White Star has returned to Dragon Palace City, and Shark Star has been by King Neptune’s side since he was released from prison.”
“Neptune cherishes the time he spends with his family so much that he even ordered Shark to quit the new navy. He is afraid that his last son will also suffer misfortune.”
“It is foreseeable that the responsibilities that the new navy will bear will become greater and greater in the future.”
“The responsibilities that Dragon Palace City cannot shoulder must be shouldered by our new navy.”
“Tiger’s ability is undoubtedly beyond doubt, but he also needs helpers.”
Enichi Tsukuni’s words also made Jinbei realize the difficulties of the current situation. In fact, even Enichi Tsukuni can think of these things himself, as long as his mind is still on this.
The reason why Jinbei lacks sensitivity in this area is because he has been immersed in the pain of losing his subordinates these days.
Enichi noticed a slight change in the expression on Jinbei’s face, and immediately had no intention of continuing to persuade, and changed the subject:
“Jinbei, please go back and think about this matter carefully.”
“I agree that you will no longer serve as the base director of Fish-Man Island.”
“But whether Tiger is willing to come to Fish-Man Island to take over as the base director, I still need to seek his opinion.”
“After he is sure, you can tell me your answer.”
“I’m afraid you’ve been exhausted mentally and physically these past few days. Now that you’ve recovered a bit, let’s go out for a walk.”
“You don’t know that during the time you didn’t show up, the people on Fishman Island thought you were dead, and blamed Neptune for your death.”
Hearing Tsukuni Enichi’s words, Jinbei also had a look of doubt on his face.
Zefa also sat back on the sofa at this time, taking the place of Tsukuni Enichi and telling Jinbei about the rumors on Fish-Man Island during this period.
“King Neptune colluded with the World Government to assassinate Princess Otohime and the New Navy?! In order to seize power?!”
After hearing these messages about King Neptune, Jinbei could no longer stay still. Whether it was the deceased Princess Otohime or the living King Neptune, these two people were both people whom Jinbei respected.
Realizing that this rumor might harm King Neptune, Jinbei hurriedly said goodbye to Yoriichi and Zefa and left the warship, heading towards Ryugu Castle.
He wanted to clarify these things quickly, not wanting King Neptune to be suspected by the people again after experiencing the pain of losing his wife and son.
However, no matter how fast Jinbei rushed at this time, the impact on King Neptune had already appeared.
During the period of holding the funeral for his wife and son, the rumors from the outside world were finally heard by King Neptune through the mouths of the guards of Ryugu Castle.
After experiencing such a thing, King Neptune was actually suspected by the people, and his heart was completely broken.
He only felt that his efforts in the first half of his life were really ridiculous. Although he did not come forward to rebuke those people who spread rumors, King Neptune’s heart was dead at this time.
He had made up his mind that he would cherish the time he spent with his family, and would never live for others in the rest of his life, but would live his own life well.
So what will happen to Fishman Island in the future?
At this time, King Neptune no longer cares about it. Who cares? !
It is said that there are hundreds of different races living together in the Ten Thousand Kingdoms under the management of the New Navy. There are not only giants, but also fishmen and humans.
There will be no irreconcilable conflicts between residents because of race.
And isn’t this the world that Princess Otohime hoped for before her death?
King Neptune thinks that if he and his family can live in Ten Thousand Kingdoms, it will be a good choice.
And that is the headquarters of the New Navy, with the world’s top strongmen. Shirahoshi and Shark Star should be able to live safely for the rest of their lives.
Isn’t this what he, the old father, hopes for in his heart?
After Jinbei left, the cabin fell into a brief silence.
After a long time, Zefa asked: “Yuichi, is it really good to do this?”
Hearing this, Yuichi Tsugikoku slowly stood up and walked to the window, looking at the scenery outside the window, without answering.
After a long while, Yoriichi Tsugikuni asked:
“Are you talking about Jinbe? Or about the rumor about Fishman Island?”
The rumor about Fishman Island was not spread by the New Navy, but the New Navy knew about it as soon as it appeared.
The New Navy obviously has the ability to stop the spread of this rumor, but they did not do so. This was instructed by Yoriichi Tsugikuni.
The reason why this rumor spread so widely is also because the New Navy let it go.
As for why.
Isn’t the transformation of King Neptune now a good explanation?
“I don’t know.”
“After all, it is the choice of the people of Fishman Island and King Neptune himself.”
