202 Supernova Join In

Jozu gave Kid and Killer a serious look, noticing that their expressions were equally serious.

"Do you guys really want to join Oyaji's crew?" 

Jozu assumed they were telling the truth but asked again to be sure.

Even though these two sought refuge on their own, as they claimed, their potential is still noteworthy. At least, Kid currently boasts a bounty of three hundred million berries.

At that time, Kid was the leader of their group of supernovas, and it could be said that he was at the height of his influence.

There are indeed significant opportunities for future growth in strength, so Jozu also plans to recruit them, but the precondition is to ensure their clear loyalty and goals

Jozu needed to understand many aspects, and Kid promptly answered affirmatively.

Jozu continued, "You have to understand that joining the Whitebeard Pirates is a significant decision. Once you're in, we all treat each other like family."

"Because we're all Whitebeard's sons, everyone refers to him as Oyaji"

"And what we hate the most is betrayal, especially after the war. You should be aware that Blackbeard betrayed the old man"

Unlike other pirate crews, the Whitebeard Pirates are somewhat unique. The other division commanders are either mere fleet captains or are considered brothers within the crew.

The Whitebeard Children's Pirate Group is more like a father-sons relationship, but there is also a Pirate Group with a somewhat similar dynamic.

That's the case with Big Mom's pirate crew. In Big Mom's crew, the relationship between the captain and the crew is akin to that of a mother and her children.

The members of Big Mom's crew have a different dynamic compared to the situation on Whitebeard's side.

The majority of Big Mom's crew members are her biological children, connected by blood. Their Pirate Group truly operates like a family.

After hearing Jozu's explanation, Kid nodded in understanding. 

"I've heard a bit about this. I heard that Blackbeard was once a member of the Whitebeard crew and later obtained the Dark-Dark Fruit. He even attacked Whitebeard during the summit war"

"In Impel Down, Blackbeard recruited many members to form the Blackbeard Pirates, and they have since risen to the status of one of the current Four Emperors"

Kid also possesses some understanding of these matters. After all, in the New World, intelligence is highly valued.

Furthermore, the entire world was shaken by the Summit War, and almost everyone knew about Blackbeard.

Upon hearing the term 'Four Emperors' Jozu couldn't help but express disdain: "Huh, Four Emperors? Pops just hasn't freed up his hands yet. It won't take him more than a few days to deal with him"

Hearing this, Kid and Killer exchanged glances, both showing a bit of shock, as if they had just heard a highly explosive piece of information.

Indeed, this is quite explosive. The information Jozu revealed suggests that Whitebeard pirates is on the brink of attacking Blackbeard pirates

The two Four Emperors' pirate groups launching a war is undoubtedly the major news in the New World.

"So, is Whitebeard about to attack Blackbeard?" Kid asked in surprise.

At this moment, Jozu realized he might have spoken too soon, and this information shouldn't be leaked out. It wouldn't be good if Kid and Killer spread the word, and it reached Blackbeard.

But on second thought, even if Blackbeard were to know in advance, what could he really do?

Confronting Whitebeard's offensive, he certainly stood no chance in a direct confrontation.

Having witnessed the old man's power, Jozu is convinced of this. No matter how much Blackbeard prepares, he is no match for Whitebeard.

The only thing Blackbeard can do is run away, but that's just a temporary delay. In the end, the outcome has already been decided by the old man.

That is, death.

"You haven't officially joined the Whitebeard Pirates yet; this matter doesn't concern you for the time being"

Jozu said casually.

"Since Whitebeard has this plan, isn't that great? It just so happens that you also need manpower"

"Moreover, after joining the Whitebeard Pirates, we will give our best and be truly loyal to Whitebeard" 

Kid expressed his determination seriously.

"Well, can you accept that your crew will be reassigned once you join the Whitebeard Pirates?" 

Jozu asked another important question.

Typically, pirate crews intend to join a larger group with their own team, as their crew functions most effectively when working together seamlessly.

However, the Whitebeard Pirates don't seek ordinary crew members; they look for talents at the level of captains.

So, once they join, Whitebeard won't lead their pirate crew independently but all captain level crew at the same time

However, this condition is more challenging for captains to accept. Therefore, Whitebeard initially tasked Jozu with recruiting as many solo pirates as possible.

Because recruiting lone pirates will be very good, there will be no trouble.

Initially, Jozu thought they wouldn't readily accept this condition, or at least not all at once.

But what Jozu did not expect was that Kid agreed without even thinking about it.

"Of course, I accept this" 

Kid affirmed. This left Jozu a bit puzzled—how could the captain abandon his crew so easily?

"Well, if you truly want to join, I can put in a good word for you. In the end, whether you can join or not depends on Oyaji decision"

Jozu said. He didn't press further, leaving it to the old man to test them when the time comes.

"Well, when can we meet Whitebeard?" 

Kid asked, displaying some enthusiasm.

"This will take some time because I have my own mission after leaving Oyaji side. I need to go back after completing the mission"

Jozu explained.

"Then what task do you have? Can we help together?" Kid asked immediately.

Jozu's eyes swept over Kid and Killer, and he said: "Do you want to be with me? This is no longer necessary."

"Captain Jozu, we won't hold you back. Just let us follow:" 

Kid insisted on accompanying Jozu to complete the task.

However, Jozu remained resolute in expressing his stance.

"This won't work. Let's not dwell on it. I'll take you to see Pops when I come back"

After speaking, Jozu was ready to leave, but Kid and Killer instructed the helmsman to follow Jozu's pirate ship once he departed.

"Captain, they're still following" the crew immediately informed Jozu.

Seeing this, Jozu also lost his patience a bit. His figure transformed into diamond, and then he leaped onto Kid's ship.

"You've made me lose my patience. Do you want me to beat you up so that you'll be obedient?" Jozu said coldly.

"Captain Jozu, we have no malice, but we would be honored to fight against with Captain Jozu"

Facing Jozu's battle challenge, Kid expressed excitement instead.
