Chapter 4

Rocks D Xebec, the loner who managed with his own strength to claim the title of strongest in the world by killing an admiral protecting a Tenryuubito. An out and out lunatic and a monster among monsters. Frankly if she could she really wanted nothing to do with this pervert but if she doesn't contact him like he wanted, if he found her one day, her ending could be guessed. 

She dial her den den mushi and soon the den den mushi changed its face to a very arrogant and evil looking expression. 

"Hello?" 

"This voice, you should be Charlotte Linlin," his voice boomed across the airwaves, carrying an unmistakable aura of authority and power. "I have heard tales of your prowess and ability. and the owner of the Soul Soul Fruit. I am Rocks D. Xebec, and I have a proposition for you."

"Oh? What proposition could you possibly offer that would pique my interest?" Linlin's voice was laced with curiosity.

Rocks D. Xebec chuckled, a deep, rumbling sound that echoed through the Den Den Mushi. "I am assembling a crew of the most formidable individuals the world has ever known and I am solemnly inviting you to join me and be a part of this amazing crew. I believe you won't refuse me right?" 

"If I do join, what can I get?" 

"Hahahaha I heard that you seem to want to build a kingdom so how about this, you join my pirate crew as a cadre and in return you can claim a few islands as your territory and use my flag as protection. I believe those navy fools wouldn't dare to touch your territory after I announce the birth of my pirate group, no its our pirate group."

Linlin secretly rolled her eyes but Rocks's offer wasn't bad. They further discussed the details before ending the call, both had what they wanted so everyone was happy, well probably except the navy and the world government right? 

Ten long years have passed since she last sailed on the sea. She had a hint of excitement that even she did not notice. 

"Little ones pack your things! We are leaving! Back to the nostalgic new world." 

A month later…

New world Hachinosu

As the sun began its descent, casting long shadows across the craggy terrain, the pirate ships converged upon Hachinosu, their flags bearing the symbols of fearsome crews known for their ruthlessness and brutality. The air crackled with anticipation as the pirates disembarked, their eyes gleaming with the promise of power and conquest.

Amongst them was a young Navy spy, disguised as a common pirate, his heart pounding with a mixture of fear and excitement. He had been sent to infiltrate the sudden large gathering of pirates and would later report back to his superiors, but as he witnessed the sheer amount of assembled pirates especially the large number of notorious pirates, he realized that he had stumbled upon something far more dangerous than he had ever imagined.

Rocks, emerging from the shadows of a towering cliff, surveyed his potential comrades with a piercing gaze. Him just standing there instilled fear and respect in even the most hardened hearts. With a voice that echoed across the cove, he addressed the crowd, his words resonating with a raw power that shook the very foundations of the island.

"Pirates," he declared, his voice booming like thunder, "I have gathered you here today, to forge a new era, an era of unprecedented dominance and power."

His words struck a chord within the pirates' souls. They had spent their lives navigating the treacherous waters of the Grand Line, battling rival crews, fighting against the nosy navy and defying the authority of the World Government but now…. 

As Rocks continued to speak, outlining his vision of a pirate crew that would conquer the seas, gain the richest of riches and instil fear to the world, the pirates erupted into a thunderous cheer. Their voices echoed across the cove, their voices cheering Rocks almost like cheering on the victorious hero.

The Navy spy watched in awe and terror as the Rocks Pirates were born, a formidable alliance of the world's most powerful and ruthless pirates. He knew that he had to report this because this matter was really too big! But soon a few words frightened him to his very core.

"But I don't need waste for subordinates." From his coat Rocks took out ten gold coins that were engraved and threw them towards the rowdy crowd.

"Ten coins represent ten cadre seats. Whoever holds a coin at the break of dawn becomes a cadre." 

As Rocks D. Xebec's ten gold coins arced through the air, the rowdy crowd erupted in a frenzy. Pirates lunged, clawed, and fought their way through the throng, desperate to secure one of the coveted coins and a place among the Rocks Pirates' cadre.

Chaos reigned as the pirates clashed in a desperate struggle for survival. The air crackled with energy as Devil Fruit abilities clashed, swords met in deadly duels, and haki-infused attacks unleashed their devastating power.

Amidst the pandemonium, several figures emerged as frontrunners, their strength and skill setting them apart from the rabble. Kaido, the future Beast Pirate Emperor, swung his massive mace with devastating force, crushing any who dared to challenge his path. Edward Newgate, the future Whitebeard Pirate Emperor, unleashed shockwaves with his gura gura no mi, shaking the very foundations of Hachinosu.

"Gulalalala, come on! Who else wants a piece of me!?" 

Charlotte Linlin, wielded her soul-manipulating powers, snatching the life force from her opponents and adding it to her own. Shiki, the future Golden Lion Pirate King, slashed and diced with his master swordsmanship, his attacks as precise as a surgeon's scalpel.

"Jiehahaha! This is so fun! But don't you ants think you should not waste any more of my time?" 

The battle raged on, the night sky ablaze with the clash of haki and the roar of Devil Fruit powers. The once pristine cove was transformed into a battleground, littered with fallen bodies and stained with the blood of the fallen.

As dawn approached, only the elite pirates remained standing, their bodies battered and bruised but their spirits unbroken. One by one, they stepped forward, clutching their hard-earned coins, their eyes fixed on Rocks D. Xebec, the man who had gathered the horde of monsters.

That very day was the birth of the Rocks pirates!
