At a depth of 10,000 meters beneath the sea, on Fishman Island.
In the Royal Palace, King Neptune marveled at the large bag of Senzu Beans before him.
"The people on the surface are truly ingenious!"
"To create such a groundbreaking medicine!"
"This is far superior to anything my royal physicians have ever produced!" King Neptune exclaimed with admiration.
"Jinbe, where did you get these?" King Neptune asked curiously.
"These were given to us by Whitebeard!"
"Although there are many sold on the black market, their quality is often subpar!"
"But this batch is of the finest quality Senzu Beans!" Jinbei, sitting cross-legged in the grand hall, replied with a hearty laugh.
"Ah, I truly wish I could meet this Pryce someday!" King Neptune said to Jinbei.
"You don't even need to say it—I'll definitely express my gratitude to Pryce!"
"You have no idea how many of my crew members his Senzu Beans have saved!" Jinbei laughed heartily.
Meanwhile, Crown Prince Fukaboshi examined the Senzu Beans with great interest.
"Jinbei, is this thing really that miraculous?" Fukaboshi found it hard to believe, especially since the medicines produced by their royal physicians had been refined and developed over centuries, earning praise even from the Marines and the World Government!
Jinbei chuckled at Fukaboshi skepticism.
"Whether it's real or not, you'll know once you try it," Jinbei joked.
Fukaboshi, being a straightforward man, took out his small knife and slashed his arm, causing blood to gush out.
"Your Highness, was that really necessary?" Jinbei sighed helplessly.
King Neptune, well aware of his son personality, showed no concern but instead grew even more curious about the capabilities of the Senzu Beans.
"Jinbei, it's always better to test things for oneself!" Fukaboshi said with a smile.
As a warrior, such a minor injury was nothing to him.
Fukaboshi picked up a Senzu Bean and, under the watchful eyes of everyone, popped it into his mouth. In the next moment, a green glow appeared, and the wound on Fukaboshi arm stopped bleeding at a visible rate, healing completely without even leaving a scar!
King Neptune eyes widened in astonishment.
"Incredible!"
"Absolutely incredible!" Fukaboshi couldn't help but murmur in awe.
"Of course, and it also restores stamina—it's incredibly useful!" Jinbei added with a grin.
At that moment, a purple light began to emanate in the palace hall.
"What's going on?" Fukaboshi frowned, turning to Jinbe.
Jinbe also looked puzzled. Immediately, everyone grabbed their weapons, cautiously preparing for the strange light.
In the next instant, Admiral Akainu appeared in the hall.
"Akainu?" King Neptune frowned.
"What business does the Marine have on my Fishman Island?" King Neptune demanded.
His soldiers and the three princes stood ready, weapons in hand, wary of the sudden arrival of Akainu. After all, although Fishman Island lies directly beneath the Sabaody Archipelago, it is located 10,000 meters underwater and has long been under the protection of Whitebeard Edward Newgate!
Countless human traffickers and pirates who had been eyeing the mermaids abandoned their plans to invade Fish-Man Island out of fear of Whitebeard retaliation! Thus, it can be said that Fish-Man Island's relationship with the World Government and the Navy isn't particularly good.
"This has nothing to do with your Fish-Man Island!" Admiral Akainu didn't even glance at King Neptune as he waved his hand dismissively.
"Jinbei, the Knight of the Sea, as expected, you're here!" After scanning the area, Admiral Akainu spotted Jinbei.
"What does the Navy want with me?" Jinbei also glared at Akainu with a hostile expression.
"Do you remember your identity?"
"You are one of the Seven Warlords of the Sea, recognized by the World Government!"
"With this title, you've gained countless benefits!" After lighting his cigar, Akainu spoke with a calm yet imposing tone.
"Of course, I remember. There's no need for you to remind me!"
"I've been faithfully paying my monthly tribute!" Jinbei replied with equal composure.
"This is your emergency summoning order!"
"Return with me to Marineford immediately!" Akainu sneered, pulling out a piece of paper from his pocket and tossing it in front of Jinbei.
Jinbei glanced down and saw the official seal of the World Government.
"Emergency summoning?"
"What's the matter?" Jinbei frowned as he asked.
After all, in all his years as a Warlord, he had never been urgently summoned like this. This was a first!
"You'll find out when we return!"
"There's no need for you to ask so many questions!" Akainu waved his hand dismissively, speaking casually.
"If you don't tell me what's going on, I won't be returning with you!" Jinbei wasn't about to let Akainu boss him around and spoke directly.
"No wonder I think you pirates deserve to die!" Akainu responded coldly to Jinbei words.
"Fire Fist Ace has been captured, and we now need the strength of the Seven Warlords!" Ignoring Jinbei anger, Akainu spoke indifferently.
"Fire Fist Ace?"
"The commander of the Whitebeard Pirates' Second Division, Fire Fist Ace?" Jinbei was taken aback by Akainu words and asked with some uncertainty.
Akainu nodded impatiently.
"Let's go, I've already informed you!"
"Enough with the nonsense!" As he spoke, Akainu was about to pull out a teleportation talisman to transport himself and Jinbei back to Marineford.
"I refuse!" Jinbei pushed away Akainu outstretched hand and spoke firmly.
"Say that again?" Akainu finally lost his patience, flames beginning to ignite around his body as he glared at Jinbei. The surrounding temperature even began to rise rapidly!
"I refuse!" Jinbei, naturally unfazed, repeated his words with determination.
"Fine!"
"Fine!"
"Fine!"
"You're something else, Jinbei!" Akainu laughed instead of getting angry.
"Whitebeard has been good to me. If the Navy is publicly executing Fire Fist Ace, that means declaring war on the Whitebeard Pirates!"
"To have me, Jinbei the Knight of the Sea, go against Whitebeard—that's something I cannot do!" Jinbei declared, glaring at Akainu before sitting down cross-legged.
"Let me confirm once again, if you refuse to respond to the summons, it means you voluntarily relinquish your position as one of the Seven Warlords of the Sea, and I have the authority to arrest you directly!" Akainu spoke with utmost seriousness.
"I refuse, don't ask again!" Jinbei shook his head.
