In One piece As a Pirate

Chapter: 17

Blue ocean. Blue sky.

It's a quiet, nice view. But if you add a pirate ship, then this picture becomes a little scary.

Something like that happened to a person who was watching out on the huge watch tower of a ship.

This ship was traveling with many items. They are now heading towards the famous fisheries here in South Blue.

Well, it's not a fishery, but because the environment here was so good, a lot of little fish came to this place. The size of this island wasn't that big. All the people here spend their lives selling fish.

"Sir, there is a pirate. A pirate ship. It's heading in our direction." The person who was watching on the watch tower shouted.

The boss of this ship was a middle-aged man. Some of his hair is white. His name is Troy.

He was a former Navy sailor on this South Blue. But because of his rude behavior, he wasn't liked by his superior and was dismissed.

Today is another day for him on this merchant ship. After getting the news that a pirate ship was approaching, he became alert.

Troy came to the deck, took out the bounty list, and looked for similarities. He holds five wanted posters in his hand with the same pirate name and Jolly Roger.

First: a 20-year-old young man wearing a plain white shirt. A black mafler was tied to his waist. Black hair. Black eyes. He was carrying a slanderous, cutless sabre. The picture was taken in the dark. [So, it's a little scary.]

[Bounty: 50 million Bellies] [Name: Rood]

Second: a 20-year-old young man wearing a plain white shirt. A black mafler was tied to his waist. Black hair. Black eyes. He is standing beside the first man. [He wasn't carrying any weapons.]

[Bounty: 50 million Bellies] [Name: Duke]

Third: A man with bulging muscle. His height is similar to that of the second person. He is standing beside the first person. Black long hair.Black eyes. [holding two black rods]

[Bounty: 30 million] [Name: Chef Mokume]

Fourth: A boy wearing a black newsboy cap. [He is carrying two kukri in his hand, standing beside the third person.]

[Bounty: 20 million] [Name: Navigator K. Kish]

[Fifth: It's a group photo.] Five people together. The tallest one has a slim body. Holding a black long musket with a gold pattern on it. Two twin brothers stand on both sides of the tallest one. One twin was a little thin. They also have muskets. The other twin was fat. They also carry two huge-size canon-type muskets.

[Bounty: 50 million] [Name: Five brothers]

After reading the bounty of the five members, he started to breathe heavily. This time, maybe I am dead. A pirate group with total 200 millions bounty. Troy started to get sweaty. His hand can't hold his sword any longer. By the time he came to his senses, the pirate group had already reached his boat.

It's been 15 days since Roods pirates kidnapped the navy's captain. His name was Kokers. But after they escaped from the scene, they weren't idle. They bought three pieces of information from the pub girl and kidnapped another two captains who were dispatched from the nearby navy's branch to search for Rood's pirates.

The Roods pirates now have four prisoners. Three are the navy's captains. One of the four was a pirate hunter. One of the navy captains was a devil fruit user. And the other was the hunter, who was also a gunner.

Right now, they are looking for an island that could be their base camp until they leave the South. Most pirate destinations are The Grand Line. So, they don't know much about an unknown island. Only those merchants know this.

"Which direction are you going? Who is the captain?" Rood asked, looking at the direction of the merchant ship.

All the passengers and crew of the merchant ship started looking at each other. They don't know what to say.

By their staring direction, Rood figures out who the captain is on this ship.When Troy saw that, Rood was looking at him.

"We are going to a fishing island nearby here. They are known for their variety of fish." Troy replied to the Roods question.

"We also want to go. That island must have a lot of food. Lead the way." Rood stated his purpose. After seeing that Troy was sweating, Rood gained more confidence.

Without further thought, Troy started to lead the way to the island.

'What will he do on that island? Will he slaughter everyone? Let's think of a plan to get away from them.' Troy's mind started to wonder: What can he do?

"How many ports does that island have?" Rood asks Troy.

"Only one. But if people want, they can anchor in the forest behind the city." Troy shared the information.

Rood wants to practice here for a month. But if the Navy somehow hears the news about them, it will be a disaster for my new crew member.

After one day, the merchant ship anchored at the main port of the island. After half an hour, another ship anchored at the port without any pirate flags. It's a Roods pirate ship.

Rood is already on the island. He was with the merchant ship.

It took one day to select a good place for Roods Pirate Camp on this island.

Troy and his companion are now Rood's hostages. They can't leave the island until the Roods pirates leave.

Every island has at least one pub for gathering. It's the world's fastest network. You can find a lot of information here.

Just like every day. Rood, Duke, Mokume, and K. Kish are on their way to the pub.

But something happened in the Roshwan Kingdom in these 15 days.

The Navy was searching for Rood pirates in this kingdom. After searching for two days, they eventually found a pirate base camp. But when they reach the place, there is only one person here. A boy was practicing with a tree.

"Boy, what are you doing here? What's your name?" The captain of the navy asked.

"You guys are here. I was waiting here for Navy." Kron said while breathing heavily.

"What do you mean by waiting for us? "The captain asked again.

"Well, I know that you guys are looking for that Rood, aren't you? Me and my friends came to this place to hunt those pirates. But my four friends were slaughtered by them in front of my eyes. Do you know what he says after he kills my friend?

So, I have decided that I will become a navy officer and kill all the pirates that come in front of me." Kron finished his speech. First, he showed that he was crying, but at the last moment, he showed his determination.

Although the captain didn't believe him at all, he still decided to take him to the navy branch. As for the identity, it won't be hard to find.

Back to the scene. Fisheries island.

After entering the pub, they took a seat. Order some drinks.

"Now that we have kidnapped those Navy captains, the Fleet Admiral must be very angry. We can't show our faces for the time being," Rood started the conversation.

"How long are we going to play this hide-and-seek?" Duke asked with unpleasant expressions.

"Don't know. Maybe until those little guys can fight with Captain Level or someone closer to that level." Rood said this while showing his concerns about the new members.

"Then you need to train them. You can just let me alone train them all the time." Duke said.

"Okay. This month, I will fight with them. Try something new." Rood said this while finishing his drinks.

"What about you two? If I fight with those guys, who will you guys practice with?" Rood ask.

"Come on, I am still here. I will practice with them." Duke said while narrowing his eyes.

"Can you fight both of them at the same time?" Rood asked again.

"Of course. It's not a big problem." Duke, try to reassure Roods, K.Kish, and Mokume.

But K.Kish and Mokume look at Duke, hungry to beat this overconfident guy. After walking all the streets of this little city, they went to the base camp.

"Those who fight with sharp weapons. Come to meet me." Rood asked those little guys to separate spaces.

Hugh, Harlow, Cooper, Oscar, Gatlin, Bishop, Wells, and Flynn.

Those eight people came with Rood to a separate place. Cooper, Oscar, Harlow, and Hugh—they aren't new here.

Let's see the stamina first.

"Okay everyone. Think of me as your enemy for the time being. Use all your strength to attack me." Rood unsheathed his sabre and looked at everyone.

Rood didn't use much force. Rood is trying to concentrate on defending himself. Eight of them attacked at the same time. But Rood just slashed his weapon, and all eight attacks were blocked.

First, they attacked from the same direction, so it was easy for Rood. But they surround Rood and attack again. But this time, Rood came to each of them without any force—just a little push with swords.

To reach each of them, it will consume even more strength. But for Rood, this was nothing.

After this back and forth for a while, the eight people couldn't leave a mark on Roods clothes.

Although Rood hasn't reached that iron-cutting level, his body strength was strong enough to reach that level anytime soon.

After an hour, those eight crew members can't go any farther.

"Take some rest; this will be your daily routine." Rood went away after saying his last sentence.

After half an hour, Rood came again.

"This time each of you has to fight me alone. Until you get exhausted, don't worry, I won't fight back. I will just defend," Rood told his purpose.

It was night. After today's training, all of them were exhausted. Rood lay on the sandy beach. And looking at the sky.

In his previous life, when he was working for the mafia, He used to train his followers every day. especially in the gym.

'Maybe this matter still affects me; that's why I train my partner.'

'Maybe I am the most serious pirate in this world after the Navy. Hah hah hah hah hah'
