In One Piece As A Pirate

Chapter: 19

Troy and Yoku were both shocked. Troy was shocked because of the speed and the last sentence. It was awesome. And Yoku was shocked. Because he was safe. The room in front of him didn't kill him. Teach him a life lesson!

What he said is true. You can't always do everything on your own. You have to rely on your partner. With a sigh of relief, Yoku looked up at the sky. For the past 10 years, he has spent his life alone on different islands in South Blue.

Because of his blindness, he hasn't seen anything since the day he was born.

His mother was captured by some guys. Because he wasn't at home. So he doesn't know who the other party is.

When he was 5–6 years old, he was a beggar. So, the blind beggar begins his life wandering in the market. He spent one year there, and he was already familiar with the surrounding areas. First, he bumped into everyone when he walked on the road. But after spending one year, he can avoid most people.

One day, he tried to avoid one person. But that man kept changing his direction so that he could find Yoku's mistake and beat him. This was all his speculation. After trying to avoid it several times, Yoku bit the bullet and bumped into him.

Next, he fainted on the spot. It's like a big hammer blasting his mind. When he woke up, he heard and smelled the food. Someone was cooking.

"Who are you? Why did you bring me?" Yoku screams like hell. The man looks at Yoku with amusement.

"Tell me the truth. How did you avoid everyone when you walked on the market?" asked the kidnappers.

"It's like someone keeps telling me to move away. That's all." Yoku told the truth.

"Okay. Try to listen to that voice." Kidnaper said again.

This time, he points his finger in the center of Yoku's eyebrows. It's coming closer and closer. On the other hand, Yoku started to feel irritation in his eyebrows. So he moved aside.

"What did you do? Why does it feel different now??" Yoku asked this time.

"Because it's a sensitive place for you. Boy, you have some talent. Come with me. I will teach you how to survive." Kidnappers made his proposal.

"You have kidnapped me. And now you want to teach. What should I say?" Yoku, keep thinking.

"You don't have any choice. You have to come with me and do whatever I ask you to do." After saying this, the kidnappers went away.

The scene came back to the present.

"So, you guys need a shipwright? Although I have some skills, you already know my problem. I can't feel the good quality of the wood, and I have eye problems." Yoku didn't say anything; he just asked Rood.

Rood, who was standing behind him. I didn't say anything. But after thinking for a moment.

"Your power hasn't reached that level. So, you just need some practice. How about this? I will bring all different kinds of wood. I think after you spend some time with wood identification, your capabilities will go even farther." Rood shared his idea.

"Okay. Let's go. We have a new partner. Today there will be a party. And Troy, you should also come." Rood started to walk away with Duke. And Yoku sat up and followed the captain.

It was very smooth. Maybe because Yoku already saw that monster in Rood. So, he has already decided to join. Rood's speech is also one of the reasons. Yoku experienced what it feels like to be alone without putting your trust in anyone.

Sometime later, Rood and Duke came to their base camp. Everyone was surprised to see the new members.

"Captain, who is this?" Chef Mokume asks.

"This is our shipwright. Although he is blind, he has some skills." Rood introduced Yoku in detail.

"If the captain chooses him, it means he is more than just a shipwright. Everyone, I think we will enjoy this night." This time, it was Zamp who roared about today's party.

Just like that, the Roods Pirates got new members who are as strong as Duke the V. Captain. It's been 16 days that they have been staying on this island. The Rood's plan was to stay for 30 days.

Next morning. Rood came to train the juniors, who were in a separate place.

Training is the same. But the strength of these eight guys has improved. Although they are still far away from Rood.

But Rood can see their sword and dagger movements. They all have different styles of movement. Which makes him feel like, in the future, Rood will have to fight with eight different swordsmen at the same time to train them. On the other side, K.Kish, Mokume, Duke, and Yoku fight every day. Mokume instructs his subordinates, Glamy and Hawk, to make food.

All in one word. They are now fighting among themselves.

But Duke has another routine. That is to fight with the four prisoners. Although those navy captains aren't that great at fighting, it still makes Duke improve his strength even further.

Duke can only give five punches in one second. But now it has increased to 13 punches.

It's like huge progress.

As for Rood, he can send some air slashes. But they don't pose any lethal threats. It can only generate some wind. And he just needs to fight a powerful swordsman. To make this breakthrough.

Just like that, it's already been a month. Today, Roods Pirate is about to set sail again.

"Everyone gets ready. The moment we set sail; the Navy will know our location. So, we set sail at night. Before morning, we will leave this sea.

And this will be our base camp. K.Kish will make a map for everyone. If we somehow need to separate in a desperate situation, you all need to come here. Do you understand?" Rood made a plan for the next few months of the journey.

"Yes, we understand!" shouted all the 32 members.

"Okay, keep working. Don't forget anything here." Rood went to his cabin.

When the sunset begins, all the crew members get on the ship. Two hours later, they set sail.

In the cabin of the captain. Rood took out his phone and called the pub girl.

Bulu Buru Bulu Buru.

"What information do you need this time?" The girl asked.

"Strong swordman in south blue. Strong captain in south blue. Me and my pirate group want to fight with them. We need a specific location." Rood explained his purpose.

After some time later, the girl called again and told her the information about a navy captain who came from headquarters specifically for Rood. After gaining the information, Rood came to the deck. He gave the location to his navigator.

"Okay. This place is indeed very distant. It will take a long time." K. Kish told everything in detail.

"Don't worry. I have a plan. They will come to us. So, you just need to sail in that direction." Rood told his plan and looked at the person who was monitoring.

"Everyone keeps looking for pirates. Wile will have a life-and-death fight with them. So everyone must be on high alert." Rood said everything and went to his room.

Rood went to his room. He took out his sword. Look at it carefully.

This is another day for his self-cultivation. Rood started moving his sword like the wind. Very slowly. It was like an old man. But there wasn't any fancy style in his sword move.

He is now using every basic move. Trying to use it in every direction. Left, right, front, back, and up. In summary. He doesn't want to let go in any direction where he can't move his hand.

This practice speed was also increasing very slowly.

The Roods don't know how much time has passed. But his speed is reaching a higher level. If you want, describe it from the point of view of a normal person. He would say that there are already seven people in total. And they are all Rood's shadows.

The scene came to the deck.

Duke was standing in front of five people. They don't use any weapons. So, they are learning from Duke. They are now fighting among themselves. And Duke is just watching them from his sleeping chair.

Zamp is a fighting genius. So, right now, he is trying Moon Step.

Somewhere in the South. Five days after the Rood's pirates resumed their journey.

Right now, a navy warship is chasing a pirate ship. 

The Jolly Roger of this pirate ship is a skull made of green bamboo, with two big bamboos besides the neck of the skull. It's the bamboo pirate, who was defeated by the Roods pirate some time ago.

Navy warships reach the pirate ship and announce its anchor right now. But suddenly the pirate changed its direction and began sailing at full speed towards a Navy warship.

The Navy also reacts in time. In a minute, the scene changed from a haven to hell. But bamboo pirates were at a disadvantage. Because the captain on the ship was sent from Navy Headquarters.

It took ten minutes to injure everyone on the pirate ship. The captain felt little regret about his decision right now. Sometimes ago, he got the news that Rood's pirate was hunting navy in this sea.

So they also decided to come here. But unexpectedly, he met this monster. But the crazy thing is that the captain didn't even move his hand.

'We were defeated by only subordinates. When can we reach that level? I want to kill this guy.'

After giving up all resistant. All the pirates were lying on the deck.

The captain of this warship is KNOT. He is a swordsman. He was sent here in this south blue to capture the Rood pirate.

Yesterday, he got the news that a Navy patrol ship was looted by Rood's pirate, and they also released the previous three captains.

After dealing with the bamboo pirate, Knot was about to leave.

"Captain. A Navy ship is coming in our direction. What should we do.?" A sailor asks from behind.

"It must be the last Navy ship that was looted by Rood. Leave this bamboo pirate here. We don't have enough time. We need all the information we can get from the captured captains." KNOT looks towards the location where the Navy ship is coming.
