Pirate: My crew are all emperors?

"Are you a pirate too?" Edward suddenly asked.

"No, I am a pirate hunter who specializes in catching pirates." Rocks shook his finger.

Edward's expression froze, and finally he let out a long sigh. No wonder he was so powerful. Those guys really offended the wrong people.

Looking at the food on the table, Edward felt his stomach making a protesting sound. He slowly reached out to pick up a piece of barbecue, but Rocks took the plate to the other side.

"The doctor said that you are in the recovery period from your injury. You should not eat anything too greasy. You must eat something light."

After speaking, as if by magic, Rocks took out a bag containing bread and a water bottle from under his cloak and handed it to Edward:

"Here's your lunch."

"..."

Edward looked at the bread in front of him and took it silently. He didn't know if it was an illusion, but Rocks always felt that this guy's face was full of grievances.

"Hahaha, you should really see your expression." Rocks couldn't help laughing, and then handed the barbecue over:

"Actually, what the doctor said is that your wound is not deep and you can rest for a few days. Originally, I had already left it alone in the end. If you can still be seriously injured like this, it only means that you are too weak."

Edward was silent, but he knew that Rocks was not exaggerating. If the last knife that struck him was as powerful as the one that slashed the ship before, it might not just leave a scar.

He picked up a piece of barbecue from the plate and took a big bite. Edward felt a lot more relaxed.

Rocks handed over a bottle of red wine:

"Try it, it should be good for you."

"?"

Edward frowned slightly, not because he was worried that Rocks would be bad for him, but because he thought this was a bit strange. What effect could a bottle of wine have, other than quenching his thirst?

However, when he opened the cork of the bottle, a strong aroma of wine hit his nostrils, and he couldn't help but take a few sips. As the red wine flowed into his throat, Edward felt that his internal organs were becoming hot, as if in his stomach. There is a heater inside that is constantly heating up.

"This is?!"

"A friend of mine gave it to me. It took a lot of effort to get these wines. Now it's fine. With your participation, we can go there again in a while and transport a few more barrels for storage. "

Edward was a heavy drinker, and after hearing Rocks' words, his eyes almost gleamed.

But he calmed down quickly. He is now a crew member of Rocks?

"What are you going to do next?"

"Me? I want to take a walk in the East China Sea, and then go to the new world."

"New world..."

The name of the New World was familiar to Edward. It was a dangerous sea area. Neither pirates nor navy dared to set foot in that area easily. I didn't expect that this guy's goal would be such a dangerous place.

But what can I do?Now that they have been defeated by the opponent, they can only resign themselves to fate.

"Well, although I have heard about the dangers of the new world, since you have made your decision, I can only go with you."

"Hey, that's right!"

Locks extended his right hand to Edward:

"My name is Locks, Locks Gibek, and my goal is to subvert the entire world in the future!"

"Disrupting the world? What a crazy idea."

Edward was stunned for a moment, and then he stretched out his hand and shook it with Rocks:

"Edward Newgate, this is my name. Although I don't know why you were able to say it out loud before, I still want to introduce myself."

In fact, Rocks really wanted to shout "Whitebeard", but unfortunately, Edward didn't even have a beard now, so it would always feel weird to shout out.

"Edward, what is your dream?"

"Me? Actually... what I want more is a family. It would be nice to be able to live a stable life at sea."

"It's really a simple thought, family..."

No wonder Whitebeard would recognize others as his sons everywhere. It turned out to be because of this dream.

"Then why don't you find a woman you love to marry and then find a safe place to live?" Rocks asked subconsciously, obviously this method is more convenient.

"I...this...uh..."

Edward's expression changed again and again. Locks noticed that he became like this because of the "beloved woman" he said. Could it be that Edward had experienced some sad past, such as the beloved woman died in a certain disaster? Then in grief, Edward swore not to marry a wife, nor to be close to any woman, so he could only rely on recognizing his son as his family?

No matter what the reason is, for Rocks now, it is not something that he can talk about. After all, the relationship between the two is not that good yet. He does not want his words to make this newly joined crew member Leave the team directly.

"Okay, if it's not convenient for you to say, don't say it. Let's recover from our injuries first, and then we should set off."

……

After a few days of recuperation, Edward's injury has completely recovered. Even with the help of the mysterious red wine, his physical fitness has been slightly improved. Unfortunately, it was difficult to exercise vigorously with the injury before, otherwise the effect of drinking red wine during exercise would be even greater. Good, now you get more rewards.

"Captain, where to go next?"

"Turn here, we are going to enter the junction next. There are many sea kings in this sea area. We are both ability users. Be careful not to fall into the water, otherwise we will die before we leave." It's over." Rocks instructed while observing the chart.

Although he didn't quite understand the meaning of the last sentence, Edward still nodded. There were only two people on the whole ship, and they were all ability users who couldn't touch the sea water. Isn't such a team a little too dangerous?

"By the way, Captain, what is your fruit ability? Last time we fought, I felt like my attack was offset by you. Is it an ability similar to mine?"

Faced with Edward's inquiry, Rocks just smiled mysteriously:

"Hey, guess what."

"..."

Edward rolled his eyes and continued to control the rudder silently. After getting along with each other for the past few days, he discovered that Rocks would use this tone to prevaricate whenever he faced questions he didn't want to answer.

Of course Rocks would not be as naive as Edward before, telling others about his fruit ability before meeting. How would he play if he met an opponent who could restrain him?

Although Locks felt that Edward might not betray him, he had to be careful in everything. After all, he was the future Emperor of the Sea. If one day he was strong enough and punched him and turned him into a paper man, there would be no place for him. Crying.

……

During the voyage, Rocks and Edward were still carrying out their work as pirate hunters. When Edward saw Rocks killing all the pirates in the ship, he couldn't help but said:

"Why do you want to kill them all? Even if you go to the naval base in exchange for reward, you only need to kill the wanted targets. Why do you need to kill those subordinates?"

"Why, do you think I'm too cruel?"

Locks raised his eyebrows and looked at Edward. Although the latter did not answer, his expression showed his thoughts.

Rocks sneered:

"Do you know why I was willing to let go of your fellow pirates before? On the one hand, I wanted to recruit you into my gang, so I didn't plan to do anything too extreme. On the other hand, it was also because those people didn't have any intention of killing me in the first place. "

With that said, Rocks pointed to the pirate corpse floating beside the boat, and then said:

"But these guys want to kill people when they come up. This time they just met me. What if it was a passenger ship or a merchant ship that had no resistance?"

Although Edward still didn't speak, his eyes were flashing slightly, and he seemed to be thinking about Rocks' words.

"I said that my goal is to subvert the entire world, so I will start by cleaning up these pirates now. When the power becomes more and more powerful in the future, I will also form a fleet to go to sea to clean up. When the day when the pirates are almost cleared, that is It’s time to take action on the world government.”

"You want to start a war against the World Government? You're crazy!"
