In One Piece As A Pirate

Chapter: 14

In the forest. Rood is standing with seven people. On the other side, Duke is standing with five people.

"Did you kidnap those little guys?" Rood asks while looking at five 16-year-old boys who are standing behind Duke.

"They belong to the same group." Duke told the truth.

"Oh, tell me in detail. Room also wanted to know.

After hearing what Duke said, Rood understood what had happened. It turns out that five boys have wanted to be pirates since they were 8 years old. They formed a group of five people and fought with other children. They are just like Rood and Duke, who have to fight for food in their slum.

"Why do you guys want to be pirates?" Rood asks with a serious look.

"Because it feels good to be a pirate. You can do whatever you want." One boy answered the question.

"What about the four of you? Why do you want to be a pirate?" Rood asks again.

"For the same reason." The other four boys replied.

"Okay. Then it's time for selection. We only want one person among the five of you. So you guys come to the middle. Then five of you'll fight each other. The last one standing will be recruited by us." Rood explained the selection process.

The moment Rood ended his speech. One of the five boys separated himself from the group and started to beat the other four people. It can be said that he is the strongest. The other four people's faces can be seen as shocks. Maybe this is the first time they have been betrayed by their friend.

After getting beaten by 1 minute, the four came to a decision. After fighting again, they couldn't win against that boy. They knew very well that they couldn't win against their friend, who had already betrayed them.

"Why did you betray us?" One of the beaten guys asked in a low voice.

"Hah, do you think you can be a pirate with this low level of thinking? Don't you remember that a pirate can do whatever he wants? This is freedom. Hah hah hah." After beating the four people, he laughed.

The four boys got even more angry, and they started to fight again. Their only thought is to defeat this guy. Although they couldn't beat the enemy, they still punched the guy for a while. Just like that, the four of them were beaten. And they lost every bit of strength they had.

"Okay, it was a good fight. Duke, stay with everyone here. I am going to ask everyone to come here to take a look." Rood took his leave. Half an hour later, all the members gather here. The other four people are already sitting behind each other and looking at the boy who betrayed them.

Rood told everyone what happened here after they surrounded the five boys. The moment they heard the story. All of them look at the boy who betrayed his friend. Some gunners already held their guns in hand, pointing at the boy.

Rood looked at all of them and nodded his head.

'Ah, it feels good that my partner's thinking is the same as mine." Rood thought in his heart.

Rood stood up to the boy who betrayed the four of them.

"What you said is true. Pirates can do whatever they want. And this is their freedom. But one thing you may not know is that without strength, you have to fear the consequences of your every action." Rood gave his opinion and went to the four beaten people.

"You four people are selected. You will be our new partner on this chaotic sea." Rood finally selected the four of them.

Although Rood wants to give a speech about friends, loyalty, etc., he doesn't want to get entangled in the past. The moment the four boys heard what Rood said. They were dumbfounded.

'What the hell? Are you insulting us?' The four of them thought the same thing and looked at Rood with various expressions. After losing a competition, they will select the losers. This is impossible.

'Wait, what are you doing? I am the one who beat those four people.' The boy who betrayed his friends thought about it and looked in the direction where Rood was standing.

"The four of you, from now on, follow Duke." Without the four of them saying anything. "Do you guys want to kill him, or we will do it?" Rood asked the four boys.

"No, please. Don't kill him." The four people came to Rood and explained their decision.

"Krob, we will join the pirate group. From now on, we are enemies." The four boys said this to Krob at the same time.

"But we can't let him go like that. He must stay with us as a prisoner. If we let him go, he will go to the Navy and sell out information." Rood looked at Krob and explained his purpose.

Krob is that guy who betrayed the four boys. After they imprisoned Krob, Duke took the four people to base camp.

Rood and Mokume look at the other seven people that Rood brought from the streets of the kingdom.

"These seven people. The tallest two are for you to choose. You test them. See if they are in line with your thoughts." Rood told Mokume about the two.

Rood took the other five to K.Kish.

"They are our new helmsmen, "Rood told the position those new five guys will get.

"Don't they need any selection process. "K.Kish asks Rood if he tested those new guys.

"Well. The five of them used to be thieves. They were fighting for territory. I went to them and asked if they wanted to be pirates. They also wanted to be pirates." Rood explained to K. Kish what happened there.

"Did you just ask them to join you or beat them?" While questioning Rood, K. Kish looked at the five thieves.

"They were thieves. It's nothing but the same profession as ours. I am just promoting their level. Hah hah hah." Rood gave his opinion to K. Kish.

After they went to their base camp, as usual, Duke called the four boys and the other five thieves alone for some chit-chat.

On the other side, on a tree, Krob was hanging there. Rood tied him with a rope.

"I don't know why you were so excited to join our pirate group." Rood, look at the boy in front of him and ask.

Krob didn't say anything. Maybe this is his question too. He wanted to be a pirate since he could remember. That's why he gathers this bear child with him and creates a group to fight other children.

Maybe he disdains them because of their weakness. Or maybe he is stronger and has started to be proud of himself. So, he got blind and didn't see the Rood trick. But one thing is certain: from today onward, his only goal is to slaughter this pirate group.

Krob's mind started to run fast. What can I do? I don't even have the strength to kill one of the guys in this pirate group.

Until he was about to get unconscious, he got his answer.

"If I somehow become a navy, I can capture them. Just like that navy captured Gol D. Roger."
