Belial, Tregear, new members of the Straw Hat Pirates

Upon learning the man's true identity, everyone froze in place. Belial, in particular, was utterly shocked. He had thought he would never encounter anyone from his original world again, but this guy had delivered a devastating blow.

"Wait, Tregear?" Belial listened to Tregear's words and suddenly remembered that when he was establishing the Galactic Empire, he had checked the information of every Ultra Warrior.

While searching for information about Taro, he discovered the name Tregear, but it was reported that he was missing.

"You're Tregear, Taro's friend?"

Upon hearing Taro's name, Toregia was clearly upset, but he still looked up and said, "I'll talk about my business later. Let's deal with the immediate problem first."

As he spoke, Tregear transformed back into his human form, dressed in white on the left and black on the right, with disheveled hair and a nonchalant expression.

Tregear walked up to Jinbe and said, "Mr. Jinbe, I have a question. You're preventing Luffy and the others from going because they're human, so why don't you go yourself?"

"I, I just..." Jinbe stammered.

"You just want to stop Luffy and his crew? But if you keep stopping them, that Fishman King will lose his life." Tregear said as he walked. "As a powerful figure on Fishman Island, you must know the weight of that king, right?"

"Going to great lengths to stop Luffy and his crew, only to have the king die, is hardly a worthwhile deal."

"But you're stopping Luffy and the others while doing nothing yourself. What exactly is your purpose?" Tregear stared at Jinbe and said.

Tregear's questions bombarded Jinbe like a machine gun, and his words brought everyone to their senses.

Nami was the first to ask, "Yeah, Jinbe. What exactly do you mean? You're stopping Luffy but not doing anything yourself, what are you trying to do?"

"Yeah, Jinbe, what exactly do you mean?" Luffy questioned Jinbe as well.

Faced with the questioning of the crowd, Jinbe broke out in a cold sweat.

Belial looked at Tregear with admiration, thinking, "Not bad, kid. You got straight to the point. Are all the Blue Clan guys this smart?"

Seeing everyone's gaze, Jinbe closed his eyes, took a deep breath, and then suddenly bowed to Luffy and the others, shouting, "Luffy, I really need your help!"

"Then why did you try to stop us?" Luffy asked.

"Because I want you to appear as heroes."

"Hero?" Luffy hesitated for a few seconds, then suddenly shouted, "What hero? I don't want one!"

"What did you say? Why?" Jinbe asked, puzzled by Luffy's words.

Just then, Belial walked over and said, "Me too. I don't want to be some so-called hero."

"Why? Isn't being a hero good?"

Beria gave a mocking laugh and said, "A hero? Someone who risks their life to protect others who have nothing to do with them, only to end up battered and bruised. What's so good about that foolish hope?"

“Exactly, exactly,” Luffy chimed in. “I don’t want to be a hero.”

Seeing Belial and Luffy's reactions, they were both shocked and confused.

Just then, Torregia stepped forward and said, "I think he doesn't want you to be some kind of hero; he must have some other purpose."

"Uh, what do you mean?"

“I just heard him talk about the relationship between fish-men and humans, and about that Queen Otohime,” Torregia said.

Then, Torregia looked at Hody on the screen and said, "That guy is probably the most extreme example of the prejudice that fishmen have against humans."

"However, other fishmen may harbor some degree of prejudice against humans. If you insist on fighting, it could make things worse. The prejudices in the fishmen's hearts could be amplified, making it difficult for you, or other humans, to move an inch on Fishman Island."

Then, Tregear looked at Jinbe and said, "So you probably want to eliminate the barrier between humans and fish-men by having Luffy and his crew become heroes, right?"

"This way, not only Luffy and his crew, but all other humans can live normally on Fish-Man Island. This will make Queen Otohime's wish come true."

“Am I right, Mr. Jinbe?”

Upon hearing Tregear's words, Jinbe froze on the spot.

“Yes.” Jinbe took a deep breath and said to everyone.

"I see." Everyone understood Jinbe's purpose.

But Luffy was still somewhat reluctant and said, "I still don't want to be..." Before he could finish speaking, Tregear reached out and interrupted him.

He said to Jinbe, "Alright, Mr. Jinbe, we should discuss the plan now."

"Huh? What?!" Jinbe was startled by Tregear's sudden shout.

“I mean, a plan. You’ve already thought this far ahead, don’t you have a plan yet?” Torregia said, looking at him.

At this moment, Jinbe felt as if the man in front of him could see right through him, as if his every thought was under the man's control, and he was walking in a trap set by the man.

"Okay, let's get started."

……

After discussing it, Shirahoshi rode away on Mekaro and Jinbe. The others set off on the Thousand Sunny.
