It started from eating the Houkai Fruit in the Pirate World

When Creek's gaze swept over them, the two immediately clapped their hands. Although their acting skills were not very good, Creek did not find fault with them when he thought that they would still be useful on the Grand Line in the future.

"Alright, you will be official members of the Crick Pirates from now on. If you do well, I will also promote you to officers such as captains. Ajin, take these two to familiarize themselves with the Crick Pirates."

"Yes, Admiral Creek."

When Akin took the two of them to get familiar with the Creek Pirates, Louis and Bud had only one question in their minds: Do the Creek Pirates really have a chance to board the Grand Line?

…………

"How did you end up on my ship?"

"I was looking for a man, and your ship took me inside."

On Kiana's ship, Zoro was tied up with chains and tied in front of Kiana.

"So you are lost?" Sanji looked at Zoro and frowned slightly.

"No, you are lost."

What does it mean to be lost? As a lone ranger, Zoro said that he had no idea what it meant to be lost. Only his two stupid brothers often got lost, and now they are so lost that they can't find anyone.

He was originally looking for Hawkeye, but now he has to look for his two younger brothers. I wonder how those two guys who often get lost are doing now?

"Huh? Our ship is parked right here, and you told me we were lost. This is our ship!"

Sanji looked at Zoro and wanted to kick his algae-like head.

"Maybe your ship took the wrong route."

"You!"

"Calm down Sanji, why bother arguing with someone who is directionally challenged?" Nami stopped Sanji. At that time, they were not very familiar with each other, so Nami did not punch Sanji directly to tell him to be quiet.

"You are the pirate hunter, Roronoa Zoro, right?"

"Pirate Hunter? Some people do call me that."

"It's you, listen to me. Kiana didn't do anything bad. He's not a pirate. She was wronged."

Nami explained to Zoro that Kiana's bounty was 250 million, and Zoro happened to be calling a pirate hunter, so Nami subconsciously thought Zoro was coming for Kiana, but...

"What are you talking about? I just need some money for a meal now and then. I'm looking for a man, not a woman. And, your ship is lost."

"Alright Nami, leave this to me."

After recalling how Luffy recruited Zoro, Kiana waved Nami to leave, then looked at Zoro.

"Pirate Hunter, Roronoa Zoro, right? Choose between following me or dying here."

Sauron: "..."

28 Recruiting Sauron

Kiana is not a pirate, nor a bad person, she was wronged.

So Kiana, who is supposed to be a good person, tied me up after taking the wrong path, and then asked me whether I would follow her or die. Are you sure she is a good person?

Zoro looked at Nami and said nothing but it seemed like he had said everything.

"Um...Kiana, is there any misunderstanding here?"

"No, there is no misunderstanding."

Luffy was taking advantage of Zoro for free at that time. Kiana didn't remember the details very clearly, but one thing is certain, Zoro didn't want to die in obscurity before fulfilling his agreement with Kuina.

"You suddenly caught me after I took the wrong road, and then asked me if I wanted to hang out with you. Are you a devil?"

"Hey, you green algae-headed bastard, don't insult Miss Kiana!"

"Ha, who are you calling the green algae-haired one? You have curly eyebrows."

As if it was fate, these two people met much earlier, and they started to dislike each other much earlier.

"Okay, don't argue at this time."

Kiana took out two three-star thermal blades. "Roronoa Zoro, if you come with me, I'll give you both of these blades, or I'll use them to send you off."

"Is this a threat?"

"I guess so, but let me remind you that you won't be able to find the person you're looking for on your own."

"Do you know who I'm looking for?"

"I know, Hawkeye Mihawk, one of the Seven Warlords of the Sea. However, you are still too weak now. If you can survive by following me, you will naturally become stronger."

"If you can survive by following me? It looks like you've offended someone serious."

"Well, a vice admiral from the Navy Headquarters dared to wrongly accuse me. I will kill him sooner or later."

"A Vice Admiral of the Marine Headquarters? Interesting. I'll follow you then. But let me make it clear first, I have my own goals. If I can't meet a decent opponent or that man while following you, I will leave."

"Don't worry, it won't be long before all you have to worry about is whether you can survive."

After taking over the two thermal cutting blades from Kiana, Zoro officially joined.

Compared to Luffy, Kiana didn't have to block bullets for Zoro, and she paid the price of drawing two initial three-star weapons, so it can't be said to be a free ride.

Fortunately, Sanji got it for free, so it's fair.

"So where are we going next, Captain?"

Kiana pointed out the mistake in Zoro's words. "First of all, I'm not a pirate, so don't call me Captain. As for the title, Kiana or Captain are both fine, whatever you like."

"As for where to go? To find the Creek Pirates."

"The Creek Pirates? I think I've been near them before, and I remember some of the roads. How about this, you two follow me..."

"No need." Kiana interrupted Zoro before he could finish. "I know your intentions are good, but please don't leave yet."

If I let Zoro, who has a poor sense of direction, lead the way, I'm afraid I will end up at the Marine Headquarters.

Well, the possibility of Raftelue cannot be ruled out.

The problem is that Kiana doesn't want to be the Pirate King. She doesn't even want to be a pirate, so don't let Zoro mess around.

"Nami will be in charge of the route, Sanji will be in charge of fighting and cooking, and you will be in charge of lookout and fighting. Let Nami lead the way."

"it is good."

Although he didn't understand why Kiana seemed to have no confidence in his ability to lead the way, since he had already joined Kiana's side, Zoro naturally would not oppose Kiana over a trivial matter.

So, Kiana's group of four continued to inquire about the information of the Creek Pirates. Finally, their efforts paid off. Not long after Zoro joined, they found out the possible location of the Creek Pirates and began to head there.

When Kiana was heading towards the Creek Pirates, the person who sold Kiana the information about the Creek Pirates sent the Den Den Mushi to the navy.

"Colonel Tina, Kiana, who has a bounty of 25 million berries, has followed your instructions and obtained information about the Creek Pirates. He has now headed to the area where the Creek Pirates are located."

"Well done, Tina got it."

Originally, Tina came here specifically to capture Kiana, but when she arrived at the East China Sea and was about to capture Kiana, a naval branch sent a distress signal to the surrounding naval branches.

Facing the Creek Pirates, even ordinary naval branches with several warships would inevitably be wary. Fortunately, Tina happened to arrive in the East China Sea at this time.

Hei Lan Tina is a well-known colonel even in the Grand Line, so several naval branches asked Tina to save the naval branches that were originally rats.

At that time, Tina had just arrived in the East China Sea and had no news of Kiana, so she agreed to the requests of many navy officers to go to the rescue.

However, Tina's warship was still a step slow. When she arrived, the people and warships of the Navy branch had been deserted. It was not that there was nothing left, but there was indeed nothing that could be used.

The mission to save the Marine branch failed because the Marines under Mouse fell too quickly, so Tina continued the mission of capturing Kiana.

Because they had asked Tina for help before, the naval branches in the East China Sea owed her a favor. In addition, the arrest of Kiana was an order from their superiors, so the naval branches contributed their intelligence network.

From the Navy's intelligence network, Tina quickly learned that Kiana was looking for the Creek Pirates.

So, the plan to annihilate Kiana and the Creek Pirates together appeared in Tina's mind.

"Ms. Tina, is this really okay for us? If they join forces, or if Kiana is eliminated by the Creek Pirates, I'm afraid we won't be able to explain ourselves."

Because Kiana's bounty is only 25 million berries, not 225 million, and the Creek Pirates are said to have 5,000 people, so no one thinks Kiana can kill Creek.

After all, being able to kill a pirate group of 5000 people, even on the Grand Line, means that their strength is definitely not weak. With that level of combat power, the bounty would need to be at least million.

"It would be best if they could both be defeated. Kiana could be beaten to death and their body could be taken away, or Kiana could behead Creek. As for the two of them joining forces..."

"Tina also wants to see what the two pirates in the East China Sea with a combined bounty of less than 50 million can do."

Although the army Tina brought with her was not large, these were the soldiers who followed her on the Grand Line and were not comparable to the army in the East China Sea.

With absolute confidence in the soldiers and warships, combined with her own strength, Tina can be sure that the advantage is definitely on her side.

29 Creek's Death in Three Steps, Step One

"Since you two have joined the Creek Pirates, you must focus on assisting Admiral Creek from now on. If I find out that you two are still entangled with the navy and are planning to assassinate Captain Creek..."

Ajin casually smashed to death a civilian captured by the Creek Pirates. The blood splattered on his face, making him lick the corner of his mouth.

"What happened to this man will be your future fate."

"Yes, yes, Captain, rest assured. The two of us will focus on assisting Captain Creek and will absolutely not contact the Navy."

"That's right, Captain, please rest assured. We promise to inform Captain Creek of everything we see on the Grand Line. We will ensure that Captain Creek has an unimpeded journey on the Grand Line and becomes the Pirate King as soon as possible."

Louis and Bud expressed their loyalty one after another, as if they were willing to devote their lives to the Creek Pirates until their death.

"Well, that's good, but it's not enough. If you want to become someone Admiral Creek truly trusts and ensure that you won't exchange what you have with the navy, you must do one thing first."

"Don't worry, Captain, we'll definitely kill them all. Who do you want us to kill?"

After all, the two had been pirates, and they knew that when a navy wanted to become a pirate and join another pirate group, they needed to kill a few innocent civilians to prove their break with the navy.

Only by killing innocent people indiscriminately can they be prevented from returning to the navy system and become true pirates.

"You guys are quite knowledgeable about the rules, but we, the Creek Pirates, are a little different."

Ajin licked his lips. The cold-blooded ghost's temperament made the two feel that things were not as simple as they imagined.

"Captain, you want to..."

"Heh, speaking of which, it's time to go hunting. Perfect, you two should come with me. I'll take you to see the power of the Creek Pirates."

The two of them followed Ajin silently and boarded the Creek Pirates' warship. With the artillery seized from the navy, it would be easier for the Creek Pirates to attack the village this time.

However, the way they attacked Chunzhuang reminded Lu Yi and Bud of the Violent Bear Pirates not long ago. Less than two months ago, the Violent Bear Pirates were still one of the most powerful pirate groups on the Grand Line.

But because of the two of them...

Ah, no, because the Violent Bear Pirates were unlucky and encountered a powerful pirate hunter, the entire Violent Bear Pirates were wiped out. Now they saw a similar scene again, and they couldn't help but feel as if they were in another world.

"Why, do you still have the sense of responsibility you had as a marine?"

"No, no, no, no, don't get me wrong. We brothers are just a little familiar with this scene. We don't want to save these civilians or anything."

"My eldest brother is right. We are sincerely joining the Creek Pirates. Captain, just give us your orders. We will not show mercy to anyone, regardless of age or gender. We understand all these rules."

"You don't have to do the killing. You have other tasks."

Ajin waved his hand. "Bring the things up."

A group of pirates came over, dragging some children under the age of 10, holding some vases and dog skins in their hands.

"Captain, this is..."

"Our Creek Pirates are a large pirate group with 5,000 people, but we don't have a warship that can accommodate 5,000 people, so we are short of money."

As Ajin was speaking, he picked out a pretty little girl, forcibly broke her hands and feet, and stuffed her into a vase. Meanwhile, a pirate who had been following the Creek Pirates for a long time was laughing wildly.

"The captain is worthy of being called a cold-blooded ghost. Although we are also pirates, we are still somewhat reluctant to do this. But the captain is different. No matter whether it is an old man or a child, no matter how pitiful that person is, the captain will not show the slightest mercy."

"That's right, because our captain is known as a cold-blooded ghost, that's why he likes to do such cruel things!"

"Shut up! I have no interest in this kind of thing. It's just that this kind of thing is indeed more profitable, and the Creek Pirates need enough money to buy warships."

"For Admiral Creek's dream, these are all necessary sacrifices. It's just that certain nobles love these things and make them so valuable."

As he beat a child all over his body, stuck animal fur on his wounds, and let blood splash on his face, Ajin's eyes seemed to flash with excitement and cold-bloodedness.

"Okay, it's your turn. For Admiral Creek's dream, use these little brats to prove your loyalty."

Louis: "..."

Bard: “…”

After a long time, Akin ordered all the old men to be drowned, leaving only the young and strong laborers, who were beaten and forcibly taken to the factory of the Creek Pirates.
