4 Chapter 4

Castiel bound the pirates together, concluding their initial skirmish without the first mate having to lift a finger.

"What's the plan, captain?" Castle inquired, addressing his unreliable captain seated lazily in a wooden chair,

"Ask them where we are," Kyle responded, harboring a lingering curiosity about their whereabouts.

Consequently, the duo questioned the pirates, emphasizing compliance with the threat of physical retribution for any disobedience. The pirates, keen to avoid trouble, willingly divulged the information.

"In East Blue, close to Cocoyasi Village," one of the pirates revealed, prompting Kyle to rise suddenly. His eyes, concealed by unruly bangs, widened in astonishment.

East Blue, Cocoyasi Village – familiar territories for Kyle, an ardent One Piece enthusiast.

Cocoyasi Village held significance as the hometown of Nami, a member of the Strawhat Pirates.

"Could this be One Piece?" Kyle pondered, a sense of disbelief creeping in.

Observing his captain's surprised expression, Castiel paused, anticipating Kyle's command before proceeding.

It took a brief interlude for Kyle to compose himself, during which he inquired further of the pirates to confirm his guess.

'I'm in One Piece!' Kyle exclaimed internally, finding alignment between the pirates' responses and the story written by Eiichiro Oda in his mind.

Excitedly, Kyle, now boarding the pirate ship he plundered, freed some of the pirates who showed obedience and instructed them to set sail,

The destination is Cocoyasi Village.

Act as a beginner writer and rephrase this:

Standing on the mast, Kyle looked down on Denzi who was kneeling below him.

"what do you want?" Asked by the excited young man, who can't wait to arrive at their destination.

Pleading from the floor, the pirate captain with a ten million bounty begged, "Take me under your wing!"

Contemplating, Kyle stroked his chin, debating whether to invest his valuable resources in Denzi, whom he considered, much like his crew, a bit of a waste.

Observing Kyle's concerned expression, Denzi persisted in showcasing his skills.

"I've got plenty of experience at sea!"

"I know my way around navigating and steering a ship!"

"I can hold my own in a fight too!"

Denzi paused, as he saw Kyle shake his head in disapproval, he lowered his head and begged.

"Please! Let me join your group!!!"

"No...you're not good enough." Kyle bluntly replied, without a care for the poor captain's feelings.

Albeit adding the reward earlier, he now had two spare materials, Denzi isn't a good vessel and would be a waste of materials.

Kyle doesn't want a mediocre member in his team, a small but strong team is enough, emphasizing each member's strength.

No longer paying attention to the dejected Denzi, Kyle stood atop the wooden bowstrip, overlooking the massive blue ocean.

Meanwhile, on the other part of the calm East Blue, another pirate group is causing a ruckus in a prestigious ship restaurant, Baratie.

"What's this?!

"You all stuff yourselves with great food while I'm not around?!"

"That hurts!"

Exclaimed the straw hat boy, to his crewmates who were having a feast while he was busy being a chore boy.

"Not really, chore boy"

"HAHAHHAHAHHAHAH"

"HAHAHAHAHHAHAHA"

The group loudly makes fun of their captain, disturbing the peace in the quiet restaurant.

Soon they are joined by a curly brow gentleman, trying to woe the orange-haired lady.

This is the soon-to-be Strawhat Pirate, who will later be known as one of the new Emperors of the Sea!

But right now, they are merely fledglings, at the beginning of their glorious adventure.

The four are having a good time, without knowing that the future stored for them has started to shift, with or without the interference of a certain individual.

Back to Kyle and the others, they have arrived at the Cocoyasi Village.

Unfortunately, luck doesn't seem to be on their side, before being able to dock their ship, they were spotted by a fisherman, who later called for backup.

As the group entered the island, they were stopped by a group of fishermen, led by a six-handed octopus and a fisherman with spikes in his forearms.

Kyle knows the two being Arlong's executives with the other even having a great relationship with the Dark King himself.

"This is Arlong's territory, leave in an instant!" Hacchan the octopus fisherman warned.

But contrary to what he said, the fishermen behind him don't seem to have a plan to let them go easily, including Kuroobi.

"Hey," Kyle called to the pirate captain standing beside him.

"Yes sir?"

"You want to join me right? Change my mind and prove your worth."

Kyle pointed to the fishermen, as Denzi immediately understood his intention.

'Can I do it?' The pirate captain asked himself, hesitating to fight.

As a veteran East Blue pirate, he had heard of the cruelty of the fishermen and had developed a slight fear of them.

Still, this was a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity that he wasn't willing to let go of!

Denzi rallied his men against the fishermen, knowing that fighting them all alone was a suicide.

Kyle didn't stop him, having no expectations of Denzi ever winning against the Kuroobi and Hacchan, who were both stronger than him.

The two sides' numbers don't differ much, but Denzi's group falls at a disadvantage,

The physicalities of the fishermen just were better compared to theirs.

As for Denzi, he is getting a body bag from Kuroobi and Hacchan, as the two work together making the poor captain helpless.

"Sigh~"

Kyle was disappointed but wasn't surprised at the result, he was about to step in when he felt a hand hold him in the shoulder.

"Let me do it." Castiel, who had remained by Kyle's side, chose to take action in his captain's stead.

Seeing the determined look on his companion, Kyle agreed and let him have the fun.

"Make it quick."

"Yes, captain."
