both stopped, X couldn't hit Rein.
"so you stopped, now can we talk?" Rein asked.
"ok, you can talk"
X felt uncomfortable because he couldn't hit rein at all.
"X, you are the number 5 talent in the east blue, you can definitely be the best in the world, but if you are still here you will not be able to catch up or surpass them"
X's face was ugly hearing he was number 4 in the east blue,
"who are they?"
"they?, the first is Yassop who is now with red hair, the second is Augur now may have also come to the grand line, the third is Ussop, Yassop's son in 5-6 years will sail and the last is daddy masterson who was previously a marine and is now a pirate hunter" said Rein.
"Yassop, Augur, Ussop, in the future will be the strongest shooter in the world, and all go to the grand line, if you stay here you will be like Daddy Masterson who did not develop"
"so come with me"
X was silent, In fact he was a little moved, he had heard about Daddy, he did not want to be the second daddy but he did not want to be a pirate.
seeing X who was silent, Rein knew X must think that all pirates were evil so he hesitated.
"why are you hesitating, come with us and you can watch us if we do evil, our pirates never kill ordinary people"
Gin who had been silent all this time spoke, since joining Rein, Gin knew Rein did not like to do evil, he just wanted to be free in this ocean.
"Well Gin is right"
X who was silent and hesitant immediately agreed to hear Gin's words, by joining he could stop their crimes if they did happen, "Okay I'll join"
"Good"
The three of them left Shells Town to travel to find other crews. Rein's next target was Kuro and Carmen, Kuro the bastard was still a talent and after being defeated by Luffy he would return to being a pirate. Carmen was a cooking genius besides Sanji in the East Blue, Now maybe she is 15 years old( I raised his age 3 years older)
3 months
A medium-sized ship docked on a small uninhabited island. Rein who was looking for Kuro finally found him.
"Captain, are you serious about recruiting him?" asked X.
"Yes, why?"
"I think he's a bad person, not suitable to join us"
Rein smiled "Kuro is not actually bad, he became a pirate because of circumstances and in 2-3 years he will stop being a pirate"
X who heard that was a little in disbelief.
Gin who had been silent all this time asked "captain does he want to join us? he already has a Bounty of 16 million berries"
"what if he doesn't agree?, hmm then we'll beat him up until he agrees"
Gin was stunned for a moment then laughed "yeah with our current strength we should be able to survive in the Grand line"
yes Gin's words were true, with him at level 25, Gin at level 30, and X at level 16. X was slower because in the first 2 months he still lacked trust in Rein which resulted in him not being able to enter the training room.
on a cliff,
"Hmm?" seeing someone he immediately ran towards a man with glasses.
"captain behind this hill there are ships that have landed and there are three of them"
hearing that, the man with glasses stood up to see "Jango let's see this guest"
Rein and the others saw a group of people with a man with glasses who looked familiar but Rein had never seen him before, and even though Rein had never met him in person but he knew who it was, Kuro was the leader, the man he had been looking for everywhere for the past 3 months.
seeing Rein's group stop, Jango said "who are you? are you a bounty hunter?
"no, we are pirates, and came here for your boss" said Gin.
Kuro was a bit confused because it seemed like he had never been involved in a battle with other pirates, even if he fought he never spared his enemies
Jango said again "what business do you have looking for our captain"
"our captain invites you Kuro to be our partner" said Gin while looking at Kuro.
hearing Gin's words all the Black Cat Pirates crew looked at each other and then laughed.
"hahaha"
"haha, that kid is so funny"
"hahh, words contain so much comedy"
even Kuro and Jango twitched as if they were going to laugh.
X who was next to Rein laughed too "hey Gin, they are laughing at you, hahah"
"shut up X"
Kuro looked at Rein, because Rein was in the middle between X and Gin "Son, is what your friend said true?"
"Yes, I invite you to join me, besides in 3-4 years you will stop, you better join my crew, also if you refuse, I will still drag you to my ship"
Rein's words made Kuro a little angry "Son, you managed to make me a little angry"
"It seems like he refused the captain, can I beat him up" said Gin, Gin who had felt his strength increase in training so he wanted to try, in 3 they did meet a lot of pirates so they could change ships but the ones he fought were not strong at all and the Black Cat pirates were worthy opponents.
"Okay, but don't kill them, X this is also the right time to see your training progress"
"Okay captain, Gin go ahead I'll back you up from here"
"Okay"
Gin immediately ran with his two tonfa, yes Gin's weapons are still like in the original story,
Kuro who saw Gin started to attack "be careful the enemy is starting to attack"
Before the black cat crew could dodge, Gin's tonfa had already hit the ground making a 4 meter hole which caused many black cat crew to faint.
