People are pirates, start with a Nika fruit

The next morning, the sky was gloomy.

Although there was wind blowing, it was hard to bear the sweltering heat in August.

This is a huge square located in front of the Skull Castle. The whole square is made of a kind of pure white stone. It is wide and vast.

There is a high platform built in the square near the Skull Castle.

This high platform is eight meters long, six meters wide and more than two meters high. It is used by the top brass of the pirate group to speak when they hold all-member meetings.

At this time, hundreds of people had gathered in the square, all carrying luggage, and seemed to be waiting for something.

Most of these people are teenagers, newcomers to the Rocks Pirates who joined in January this year.

Rocks has a fixed recruitment time every year, which usually starts in January and lasts for one month.

Speaking of which, they joined the pirate group two months earlier than Faith, but the one-year internship period has not yet passed and they will directly enter the battlefield.

"Have you heard? This time the deputy captain is personally leading the team!"

"Yes! I heard that Vice Captain Albert once fought with Captain Rocks for ten days and ten nights, and finally lost a single move, so he agreed to join the Rocks Pirates!"

"Nonsense, Vice Captain Albert is of course extremely powerful! He possesses the rarest phantom beast type among Devil Fruits!"

"Phantom beast type? Is it the devil fruit that is rarer than the natural type?"

…

There were whispers among the crowd, and they seemed to be very interested in this legendary vice-captain.

Some people looked worried, as if they were worried about the unknown fate ahead.

"Come on, come on, Faith, don't wait any longer. Let's go a little further. We can catch a glimpse of the vice-captain later!"

Levi was very excited. He took Faith's arm and dodged left and right in the crowd, running towards the high platform.

There was a strong light shining in his eyes, which was an indescribable emotion.

It's like respect and yearning.

After the two came out of the library, they returned to the dormitory to pack their luggage. They arrived at the gathering place with their bags early this morning.

Unexpectedly, others came earlier.

"You admire the first officer?"

Face calmly broke away from Levi's hand, adjusted the cyan casual shirt on his body, and lowered the sunhat on his head.

Recently, he has to bring this thing with him when he goes out, mainly because he is afraid of being recognized by the group of enthusiastic fans.

If it weren't for the hot weather, he would have to wrap himself in a scarf.

"Yeah, you don't know how powerful the deputy captain is! He is the man who once fought with Captain Rocks for ten days and ten nights!"

Reeves was full of treasures and listed the deputy captain's deeds one by one.

The vice-captain appeared out of thin air at sea two years ago, and his first battle was to challenge Captain Rocks.

Possessing the powerful phantom beast fruit, there is a sky-high price bounty of 2.5 billion!

Known as the man from hell, Albert.

Nicknamed "King of Hell"!

He is decisive in killing enemies, but surprisingly humble and low-key towards his own people, making him very popular.

He likes to mentor newcomers and is completely involved with the newcomer group. He also hosted the Beehive Festival in January.

As Levi talked about it, a mysterious, powerful and easy-going image emerged on the paper.

Especially when he talked about the fantasy beast-type fruits, stars twinkled in his eyes.

"You seem to like phantom beast fruits?"

Faith didn't understand. It stands to reason that natural fruits are what many people pursue throughout their lives.

Levi, who already possesses the ability of poisonous gas fruit, would actually admire the phantom beast species so much.

Moreover, there are many doubts about this deputy captain.

There was no such character in the original work, and he actually appeared out of thin air.

"Yeah! You don't know how cool the Phantom Beast Fruit is! It can transform into various mythical creatures and also has all kinds of weird abilities! It's so cool!"

Speaking of this, Wei's eyes looked a bit regretful, as if he was secretly regretting that he had eaten the poisonous fruit.

"And the vice-captain's fruit is the top-notch one among the phantom beasts. It's... Hey, the vice-captain is here!"

Levi excitedly pulled Faith and pointed at the group of four people walking out of the Skull Castle.

The leader was a tall man, seven meters away, with a well-proportioned and straight figure, wearing a well-tailored black suit and a black top hat.

Behind him were a man and two women, one of whom was the deputy captain of the second division, Ji Fanner, and the other was a tall woman wearing a yellow leopard-print dress, with long blond hair floating around, and a somewhat gorgeous appearance.

There is also a tall woman with long green hair that reaches her waist. She is dressed in a very strange way, wearing a witch robe, a black ribbon tied around her head, and holding a white soul-calling flag.

Faith had never seen these two women before, they were strangers.

"Ouch! Lord Albert!"

"Vice Captain Albert! Will you lead the team to the front line this time?"

"Sir, I am your fan, can you sign your autograph for me?"

…

The atmosphere exploded in an instant, and all the newcomers in the square were cheering.

Albert walked to the high platform and pressed down slowly with his big hand.

People in the entire square began to quiet down, waiting for him to speak.

"Future stars of the pirate group, I am your vice-captain Albert. I believe you all already know the general purpose of my visit."

His voice is clear and somewhat hoarse, and has a very strong appeal that makes people want to obey.

"The Pirate Alliance, led by the three pirate giants, has begun a full-scale counterattack on our territory, and a large number of brothers have died in the battle. Now, the pirate ship needs your power!"

"Time is limited! Next, I will take a few newcomers to the battlefield first, and you will follow Mr. Ba Jin and Hei Tan Mu Chan to board the ship."

After speaking, he began to recite a list of names.

"Fez!"

"Chamoon!"

"Levi!"

"Amouz!"

"Job!"

…

"Okay, these people above come to the high platform and set off with me."

After Albert finished reading the names of more than a dozen people, his body expanded, black hair grew all over his body, his head turned into a jet black dog head, and two huge dog heads, one white and one gray, grew out of his neck.

In an instant, a three-headed giant dog that was hundreds of meters tall appeared on the high platform.

Its whole body was wrapped with a gray aura, its hooves were stepping on pitch-black netherworld flames, and there was frost flickering on its tail.

Fierce! Vigorous! Mighty!

This was Faith's first impression of the three-headed dog, and the two women turned out to be Mr. Ba Jin and Heitan Muchan!

"Wow! Here comes Albert-sama's fruit ability, the dog fruit, the phantom beast species, and the three-headed hell dog form!"

"I heard that each of Lord Albert's three heads can launch different types of attacks!"

"Powerful! It's so powerful!"

…

The moment the three-headed hell dog appeared, the whole square was boiling.

"Stop dawdling, get on my back!"

The middle head of the three-headed dog grinned and urged.

"Let's go Faith!"

Seeing Gifanna, Chamoun and others jumping on the back of the three-headed dog, River pulled Faith out of the crowd and jumped up, sitting next to Gifanna.

"Wow, is that person Faith? The strongest newcomer!"

"Yes! He is the monster who defeated Kaido!"

"Handsome, strong and low-key! I want to give him a monkey."

…

The atmosphere on the field set off a new climax, and Faith wanted to find a place to hide.

"Sit tight!"

This time it’s a white dog head reminder.

Just when everyone was confused, the three-headed dog jumped up and flew into the sky.

After finding a certain direction, Albert began to run wildly.

Every time the dog's claws fell, white frost clouds condensed in the sky, steadily supporting its huge body.

The frosty clouds clear the way, so walk through the air!
