At the port of Water Seven City, Jhin, carrying Rocks, and Barrett, Sasaki, Erida, and Eneel, left the battlefield and quickly came here.
"Hey, Rocks kid, I didn't expect that Whitebeard would come to save you this time. You are really lucky."
Just as they arrived at the port, a man who was sitting lazily cross-legged on the ground drinking a drink spoke up.
The man wore a triangular captain's hat, a sword and a musket hung from his waist, he wore a blue captain's coat, and had a full beard.
"What's your relationship with Whitebeard? Besides, when did you get a new partner?"
Although the man did not make any movement, the subtle sense of oppression told Rocks and others all the time that this was a ruthless character.
Moreover, the corpses scattered all over the port also show how cruel and ruthless this man is.
"Hey, who are you? Stop talking to yourself!"
Barrett took an unhappy step forward and looked at the man and asked.
"Who am I? Lu Huhuhu..."
The man suddenly laughed, stood up, and staggered towards Rocks.
Seeing the man's actions, everyone immediately became alert.
"My name is Barbossa. I come from a mafia family in the West Sea. I was once a famous pirate."
While introducing himself, Barbossa staggered to a position not far in front of Jhin and looked at Rocks.
"Hey, kid, you wanna just lie on your companion's back and talk to me?"
"snort!"
Jhin snorted at Barbossa's words and looked at him with cold eyes.
Feeling Jhin's cold murderous intent, Barbossa smiled indifferently.
Rocks looked at Barbossa quietly, then let Jhin put him down.
He raised his head slightly and looked at Barbossa.
I have to say that Barbosa is really tall, at least three meters tall.
Rocks suddenly realized that he was the shortest in the entire pirate group except for Enelu.
Whether it was Barrett or Ereda Sasaki, they were all at least three meters tall, Jhin and Visa were more than five meters tall, and only he had only grown to more than 1.9 meters, almost two meters tall... ... .
Rocks inserted the sword into the ground and supported the hilt with both hands to keep his balance.
"Barboza, what's the matter with you?"
Rocks looked at Barbossa calmly and asked in a flat tone.
When he doesn't know whether the other party is an enemy or a friend, Rocks will not let his guard down.
Barbossa seemed to notice Rocks's vigilance and grinned indifferently.
"Luhuhuhu, I am a person who is constantly looking for interesting people on the sea. The last person who interested me was also a man named Rocks. Because of my interest, I accepted his invitation and joined his pirate group. But that guy was too hasty and failed in the end. He was beaten to a point where he didn't know whether he was alive or dead."
Barbossa took a sip of wine and looked at the little devil in front of him, also called Rocks, with a smile.
"And now, there is another Rocks that interests me. How about letting me join your pirate group? I want to see which of you two Rocks will succeed in the end and become the new king of this sea."
"... ... ... "
"Hey, hey, are you kidding me? He's actually a member of Rocks' crew, and he wants to join our pirate group? You must be kidding me!"
Sasaki muttered in disbelief.
After all, the previous Rocks was too famous. Even though Captain Rocks D. Gibek's life or death was unknown in the end, the strong men who walked down from his ship were more powerful than each other.
Whether it is Shiki the Golden Lion, Edward Newgate the Whitebeard, or Big Mom Charlotte Linlin, they are almost all great pirates who dominate one side.
Even the Kaido the King of Beasts mentioned earlier was once a trainee crew member of the Rocks Pirates.
Not to mention, Captain John and Silver Axe King, who were rampant on the sea a few years ago and were eventually wiped out by the Navy and Golden Lion.
Almost every member of the Rocks Pirates is a famous pirate.
Anyone would be surprised to suddenly hear that a former member of the Rocks Pirates is going to join their own pirate group.
Even Rocks is no exception.
"Why? I don't think a powerful guy like you would willingly be inferior to others."
Rocks looked at Barbossa very seriously.
He didn't want to have an unstable factor on his ship.
Barbossa looked at Rocks who had a serious expression.
"Well, didn't I say that I would only join the pirate groups that I'm interested in? As for being inferior to others, as long as they are people I approve of, it's not shameful even if I'm inferior to them, right?"
"Don't worry, I won't do anything that would harm the pirate group."
Although Rocks was still a little worried, he trusted himself and his companions immensely. Even if Barbosa had any evil intentions, he could kill him.
"Okay, I temporarily agree that you can join our pirate group."
Rocks temporarily agreed to Barbossa's application to join. In addition to believing in himself and his companions, he also recognized Barbossa's strength.
Now almost all the members of the pirate group are injured, and some are even seriously injured. For safety reasons, it is better to have someone who can protect themselves and others for a period of time.
Of course, the most important thing is that Barrett is in very good shape, so he is not afraid of Barbosa causing trouble.
When the other members heard that Rocks actually agreed to Barbossa's application to join the group, they were shocked but also felt that it was natural.
After all, Rocks is very magnanimous.
"Well, although I really want to have a banquet to welcome you to the Pirates, let's forget about it for now."
"Luhuhuhu, of course, I have already prepared the retreat ship for you."
Barbossa smiled indifferently, then pointed to a luxurious merchant ship in the port.
Looking at the luxurious merchant ship, Rocks nodded and led the way towards the ship.
After a period of rest, Rocks has recovered some strength.
After everyone was on board the merchant ship, Rocks directly asked Eneel to activate his ability to create an island cloud, which supported the entire merchant ship and made it float.
After a while, with the help of Eneel's ability, the merchant ship flew into the air and drifted away.
After the Seven Waters City was no longer in sight, the tense nerves of Rocks and the others finally relaxed, and they fell on the deck, either sitting or lying down.
"Huh, it's finally over. I didn't expect that I could escape death this time!"
Erida took a deep breath and said with some emotion.
Although he did not fight any monster, he was ready to sacrifice.
"That's right, I thought I was dead this time!"
Sasaki was also still frightened.
Although everyone is prepared to die, there is no one who doesn't want to live.
Jhin sat silently by the side, without saying anything, quietly accepting Visa's treatment.
I have to say, Visa's body recovery ability is really terrifying.
He looked half dead just now, but after just a few dozen minutes, the wounds on his body had already healed.
"It seems that Visa has something to do with that monster Kaido. In the future, I can get the power of Punk Hazard's artificial animal-type mythical beast species for him to eat."
After this battle, Rocks was fully aware of Visa's combat power.
Apart from him and Barrett, Visa is now ranked third in the team.
That’s right, even Barbosa, who had just joined, was not as strong as Visa.
Moreover, Visa is still young and his strength is still growing. He is destined to become Rocks' right-hand man in the future.
If he were to eat the mythical beast in the future, his future strength would not be much weaker than Kaido.
"Luhuhu, Rocks, what are your plans next? Are you going to go directly into the new world, or lie dormant for a while?"
Barbossa walked over to Rocks, sat down opposite him, and asked with a smile.
Rocks lowered his head and thought for a while.
"Right now, we are lacking in both strength and power. We are not yet suitable to march directly into the new world."
"Lu Huhu, that's right, it seems that your mind is still clear, Rocks."
Barbossa praised with a smile.
"Although the new world now seems extremely peaceful, this is indeed a brief moment before the storm. Soon, a great war will break out in the new world, a war for royal power."
"Golden Lion, that guy, has been very ambitious since Rocks D. Gibek was killed. After so many years of development, he is obviously impatient."
"So, for the New World, there is no need for us to wade into this muddy water for the time being."
Barbossa briefly analyzed the situation in the New World, then looked directly at Rocks.
"If you have any suggestions, just tell me."
Rocks knew that since Barbossa brought up this topic, he must have some good suggestions.
"Rocks, our pirate group is now in the development stage. Whether it's you, Barrett, Visa, Ereda, or Enelu and Sasaki, your strength has not yet reached its peak. You need to lie dormant and grow for a while."
"I believe you, Rocks. With your and Barrett's potential, it only takes two or three years for you to become one of the top combat forces in this ocean."
Barbossa spoke to Rocks in a decisive tone.
"So, what's your suggestion? Even if you want to lie dormant and disappear for a while, you still need a place, right?"
Rocks did not deny Barbosa's words.
"Let's go to the West Sea! Compared to the other seas, the West Sea controlled by the mafia is obviously more suitable for hiding."
Barbosa smiled and gave his suggestion.
"West Sea, it's indeed a nice place. It's decided then, let's go to West Sea."
When Rocks heard Barbossa mention the West Sea, he agreed with him.
Moreover, when talking about the West Sea, we have to mention a man, the man who is known as the hero of the West Sea.
"When the time comes, go and invite him to join the pirate group. After all, he's a pretty good guy."
