Pirate: I'm cracked, but my mutation talent is incredibly strong.

Shiki the Golden Lion and Fierce the Silver Axe were sent by Rocks to test the strength of the landing pirates.

Anyone who wants to become a member of the Rocks Pirates must possess considerable fighting strength.

The bounty starts at 2 million Berries.

Only pirates with formidable strength, powerful Devil Fruit abilities, or limitless potential are qualified to join the Rocks Pirates' main crew.

The user of the teleportation fruit that Fang Huo had been searching for had not yet appeared.

Even the Kurozumi siblings, Higurashi and Shiki, have not been able to contact them.

This left Fang Huo speechless!

Is it really that difficult for me to obtain a fourth Devil Fruit power?

Or perhaps even the god of fate disapproved of Fang Huo obtaining the life-saving abilities of teleportation and barrier.

Now, Fang Huo can only continue to develop the Blood Shadow Movement technique, a vampire ability, to achieve a pseudo-teleportation effect!

In the training ground where Rocks brutally beat Fang Huo.

"Hey! Rocks, a smuggling pirate named Ganzi is looking for you. He says he wants to become a supplier for Paradise Island."

Deep-sea Titan Babel, accompanied by a small giant clad in golden armor, ascended the skull of Planetary Devastation.

If Babel hadn't heard from Locke and Fang Huo that Ganzi was such a guy, he definitely wouldn't have brought him to the base camp.

At the very least, we need to make Ganzi fight against the Golden Lion Shiki and the Silver Axe Fierce.

"Who?"

"Ganzi?"

"Hahaha! Fang Huo, someone actually came to us willingly!"

"This is much more convenient than searching for them one by one!"

Rocks laughed heartily. He had wasted a lot of their time going to find Shiki and Charlotte Linlin, those two flying creatures.

Charlotte Linlin, in particular, has been hiding from the Rocks Pirates thanks to the interference of the long bread.

This caused the Rocks Pirates to search for several months.

This almost made Rocks furious.

Finally, a cadre has taken the initiative to come to our door!

"I hope you succeed in winning him over!"

Fang Huo, panting heavily, finished his intense training session with Locke and didn't bother to care how Locke had subdued Ganzi.

As he devoured so many powerful individuals and their blood, his body underwent cellular transformation several years ahead of schedule.

What? All the cells in your body will be renewed every 7 years.

Under the special rules and abundant energy of this world, coupled with the powerful Devil Fruit ability, Fang Huo almost completed his transformation in just three years since he transmigrated to the present.

Even the bones and internal organs received incredible enhancements.

He has already sensed that he possesses the talent to awaken Armament Haki and Observation Haki.

He likely possesses the kingly aptitude to awaken Conqueror's Haki, which is also quite remarkable.

···

"You helped out with Sambell, Newgate, and Lingling."

"But I still prefer to beat up Babel, Shiki, and Xiong like that, and forcefully subdue them."

Lockes flashed his white teeth, temporarily letting go of Fang Huo, this little bastard who dared to offer a bounty higher than his own.

"Hey, hey, hey, Rocks, I'm still here!"

When Babel heard Lox boasting about his glorious feat of defeating him, he immediately shouted.

Doesn't he have any pride?!

Ganzi's pupils contracted; he was there to do business with Rocks, not to join the Rocks Pirates.

"Ganzi, what business are we talking about? What supplier are we talking about? Just join the Rocks Pirates!"

"I'll take you straight to rob it!"

"However, before you join, I still need to test your abilities."

Rocks didn't give Ganzi a chance to speak at all. His berserk Conqueror's Haki erupted, and he drew the Gybeck sword and slashed at her.

This is his usual greeting gift to new members!

"Captain Rocks! I'm a smuggling pirate, here to discuss business..."

Ganzi didn't expect that Rocks really didn't follow the unspoken rules of the pirate world, such as not being allowed to take action against smuggling pirates and news birds.

Lockes' terrifying attack forced Ganzi to fight back with all his might.

But he was still instantly blasted against the wall, coughing up a mouthful of blood.

"I know there are rules in the world of One Piece, but right now, my rules are the rules!"

"Tell me, will you join the Rocks Pirates or not!"

Locke, carrying his long sword, walked step by step toward the ruins, one foot landing on the rubble, looking down at the heavily injured Ganzi, and grinning.

He doesn't have time to talk about rules and feelings like Fang Huo does.

He prefers to let his abilities speak for themselves!

"you..."

"..."

"I give up..."

Ganzi wanted to curse Locke, that unruly bastard, but when she saw Locke's murderous eyes...

He chose to join from the bottom of his heart.

He didn't want to be killed by that madman, Rocks.

"Hahaha! Welcome to the Rocks Pirates!"

Lockes pulled Ganzi up, as a gesture of respect for the new member.

"Fang Huo, look how simple and efficient that is!"

Locke looked at Fang Huo smugly, as if showing off his method, which was the best and fastest way.

"I'm sorry, Ganzi, please forgive this reckless captain!"

"However, joining the Rocks Pirates is the best deal you've ever made in your life."

"I'll be hosting a banquet for you tonight, so you can experience what it's like to be a member of the world's strongest pirate crew."

Fang Huo flew to Ganzi's side, flicked his finger, and sent all the rubble flying up and back onto the wall.

"I hope so."

Ganzi chuckled, suppressing his anger and displeasure, and revealed a smile.

Although that bastard Rocks doesn't follow the rules, Fang Huo, the vice-captain, seems quite easy to talk to.

Looking at Fang Huo's stunning looks and elegant demeanor, Gan Zi couldn't help but sigh in his heart, "No wonder she is the supreme succubus with a bounty of 40 billion Berries on her head by the female Celestial Dragon!"

However, when Ganzi thought about how Fang Huo had personally killed Wang Zhi, the founder of the pirate cult, she knew that this handsome and strange man was not simple at all.

"Rocks was ruthless to his enemies, but quite good to his own people."

The torches floated up in Ganzi and carried them towards the treatment area.

Speaking of which, the Rocks Pirates don't even have a ship's doctor right now.

All injuries must heal on their own.

However, the members of the Rocks Pirates are all monsters; as long as they are not killed on the spot, they can basically recover.

"Yeah..."

Ganzi stole a glance at Lockes; that bastard had come up with a domineering slash that almost killed him on the spot.

What kind of test is this?

If you can't withstand a single blow from Rocks, you'll just die and won't even be qualified to join the Rocks Pirates.

"From now on, you'll be in charge of the business on Paradise Island, as well as the procurement for all the senior officials. You can earn even more."

"You can also get the protection of the Rocks Pirates."

Fang Huo continued to counsel this notorious smuggler, lest he harbor resentment towards Rocks.

As the chief strategist and first mate, I was truly doing my best to clean up the mess left by that reckless captain, Rocks.

However, the two of them, Locke and Fang Huo, one playing the bad cop and the other the good cop, were indeed very efficient.

These unruly pirates will be completely defeated by Rocks's unparalleled fighting prowess.

Only then will they listen to Fang Huo obediently.

···

The explosion and shockwave from the skull on Chibaku Tensei's head caused another round of discussion among the pirates below.

"The person who just went up with Lord Babel, was it Ganzi?"

"Hehe, I wonder if Ganzi was killed, or if he was subdued by Lord Lox?"

The pirates were grinning wickedly, while Baggin Ghom Stussy's expression was somewhat serious.

If I join voluntarily, won't I also get slashed by Rocks?

With that exaggerated noise and destructive power, she definitely couldn't withstand it; she'd die!
