Oath of loyalty and the meeting.
A week has passed since Ragnar met Kashi and the week went with both of them cleaning the ship and loading it with Ragnar's Items and food.
Ragnar sighed as he sat on the deck of the ship watching Kashi punch a bag of pebbles hanging on a tree, it was one way to unlock one's armament haki, to strengthen their skin and bone.
When someone strains their bones and skin to the point of being unable to move their arms but still keeping on punching with sheer will causes their mind to form a layer of haki to coat the arms, When one is used to this feeling then they can use haki at will.
Ragnar is also training, he is training his armament by trying to project it outside of his fists, like Ryuo, Ryuo is a type of armament haki in which haki is radiated from the original layer of armament to do internal damage to the opponent. Ragnar had a theory that this haki is responsible for sending flying slashes, since by this point, he had almost perfect skill and power to send flying slashes.
After an hour of trying to form Ryuo haki, a few people entered his observation range. A few days ago, he had freed all the pirates he had tied up and told them to return if they want to be a pirate not for ravaging and pillaging but for obtaining freedom.
It seems to Ragnar that not all of the pirates in Nain jack's crew were evil and pillagers, most of them were forced by Nail Jack to join their crew.
A minute later the pirates from nail jack's crew came to Ragnar, There were 23 of them, about half of the original amount.
"Captain, We are here to join your crew, please accept us as part of your crew." A man said, He had a beard reaching down to his chest and a fit body for a pirate, he was not fat and Neither was he weak, He was the vice captain of the Nail Jack crew.
"You all can join, but first you must swear loyalty to me." Ragnar said, He got a bottle of sale from the kitchen and gave each of the pirates a cup.
He put the bottle down and pulled out Sigyn, Sigyn was a blade representing Loyalty, Dishonouring him will bring Great misfortune to anyone who swears loyalty to him.
"I will cut a small scar in each of you guys and you will drink sake to oath your loyalty to my Sword Sigyn, A blade of loyalty and dedication, and Me." Ragnar started to do as he said and cut a small scar on each of the pirates bodies and poured sake on their cups.
"Hold your cup high." Ragnar said, At this point, Kashi had also joined and was scarred.
"Three, Two, one... Kanpai." All of them said, taking a sip of sake in the Oath of loyalty to their captain.
This moment is the moment When one of the greatest pirate crew to ever exist formed.
***
A day had passed and the pirates had gotten Situated in the ship. Ragnar had arranged a meeting of sorts today. It was to decide on what to do after the crew is formally created.
"Ahem, Quiet down please." The vise captain of Nail Jack pirates, Kazuma, said to the crew members. they were all situated in the deck of the ship, Ragnar, Kashi and Kazuma were in chairs while Ragnar was in the upper deck.
"First of all I will thank all of you for deciding to join me in my adventure, eventhough I defeated your old captain, you all sweared your loyalty to me, That is my greatest happiness." Ragnar said the crew members cheered and clapped at Ragnar while Kashi sighed due to boredom.
"The meeting I arranged today is to organise our crew so that we will all have an equal opportunity to shine and get stronger as we travel the seas, South blue is not the limit for us, We can go beyond south blue, we can traverse Grandline and, the final island of grandline is our goal, We will not become the pirate kings crew, but the greatest crew to ever exist." A chorus of claps erupted from the crowd.
"The main idea I am trying to implement today is to classify our crew into four roles. Of course the first role is of the captain being me, and then the vice captain, but we have more than one qualified person to become vice captain, there will be two vice captains, First being Kashi and Then Kazuma." The crew seemed to agree with this since both Kashi and Kazuma are good leaders with good strength.
"Then we have division captains under each vice captains, There will be five division captains under each vice captain but as of now, no-one is qualified for this position among the twenty two of you guys so you all are in the last role, being our brave warriors, You all are in the Warrior role." Once more The warriors clapped in agreement.
"All of you guys are weaker than what satisfies me, for Six months, we will spend training here, on Shigeru island, then our adventure truly begins." The crowd once more clapped in agreement and Ragnar could only help but sigh.
