Life is like a play, it all depends on acting skills.
Ren's imitation of Kizaru is very vivid, with his lazy and casual posture, slightly sarcastic smile, exaggerated and very flattering tone, coupled with the golden glitter particle special effects... Some people believe that he is possessed by Kizaru.
And what he brought to the Blood Pirates was also a deep despair.
Marcel, the leader of the Blood Pirates, is actually not weak in the first half of the Grand Line.
After all, he is a swordsman who can use flying slashes, at least not much worse than Zoro at this stage.
It's a pity that the supernova-level strength of pirates is completely inadequate in the new world where strong men are as strong as the crucian carp crossing the river.
Kizaru can easily beat the current Zoro, and Ren, a top master at the level of the Four Emperors and even the Pirate King, naturally beats Marcel like beating his son.
The next ten will also be given as food.
If you want to wrestle with him and pass a few moves, you must at least have the legendary "quasi-general" level of strength.
But I have to say that many people in the OP world have very strong will and vitality.
Marcel clenched the hilt of the sword with his fingers, endured the excruciating pain of his right leg being pierced by the laser, stood up, and roared unwillingly:
"I'll fight you!"
"Hey, this is really an amazing realization. Let me see your limit."
Facing the roaring and charging swordsman, Ren raised the corner of his mouth, tapped his fingers a few times, and fired several blazing golden lasers at him!
Bang bang!
The laser blasted out red lotuses on the deck, unleashing its terrifying destructive power!
This time Marcel was mentally prepared and used all his strength to jump and dodge crazily in the blast of flames.
Although he didn't have the power of seeing and hearing, he barely managed to avoid being hit by relying on the swordsman's keen sense of danger.
But this is also his limit.
The explosion caused sawdust and smoke to fly. After he flexibly turned over to avoid a laser beam, before he could stand up, he suddenly saw a shadow appear beside him.
It was Renn. He leisurely raised his golden right foot and kicked the swordsman who couldn't avoid it at all:
"Kid, that's it for now."
Bang!
The light speed kick hit Captain Marcel on the shoulder. The force was so powerful that it made people tremble. He flew backwards like a cannonball!
His body smashed into the kitchen door on the first floor of the ship. He vomited blood and fell into the flying debris and sawdust!
"captain!"
"Lord Marcel!"
The pirates on the ship screamed in horror and panicked.
On the sea, for a pirate group, the status of the pirate captain is unquestionable. The captain is not only responsible for the strength, but also the spiritual leader in many cases.
Once the captain is defeated, it will definitely be a serious blow to the crew.
Hearing the frightened and uneasy voices of the crew, Marcel was lying on the deck in embarrassment and moved his fingers.
He raised his face with bleeding from the mouth and nose with difficulty, and stared dimly at the man in front of him who looked like a god and a demon:
"I gave the order to fire, otherwise they would just watch the show."
"so what?"
Ren shrugged, noncommittal.
"You can take your life, but please let them go. This is not far from the town of Ovidi. You can drive them off the ship there."
Marcel gasped rapidly, his voice hoarse.
Blood stained his thin cheeks, and he still endured the pain all over his body and stared up at him, as if Ren would not lie down until he died without a promise.
This actually made Renn look at him with admiration.
Although he is cruel and ruthless, at least he is qualified as a pirate captain, and he will not forget to save the lives of his teammates when he rushes into the street.
Renn looked at the trembling crew and grinned:
"No one can take anything from me without paying any price."
"What do you want? Gold, Bailey, wine... everything on this ship can be given to you." Marcel said directly as he was a bachelor.
"These were originally my trophies."
Ren walked up to him and squatted down, staring at him with a pair of blue pupils that were deeper than the starry sky, "I want your life, work for me! The Blood Pirates are mine too."
He doesn't need teammates.
He is not optimistic about the strength of these people, but there must be a few errand boys under him. He cannot drive a pirate ship by himself.
"..."
This request obviously exceeded everyone's expectations, and the expressions of Marcel and the crew of the Blood Pirates became very exciting.
"This... this, should we..."
"He looks so strong. If you follow him, you can definitely..."
"Shut up, you want to rebel, right? The captain hasn't decided yet!"
The pirates were whispering and their eyes were flashing. It seemed that these people had little resistance to changing to a stronger boss.
The Blood Pirates are not the Straw Hat Pirates. They believe that whoever has the biggest fist is the boss. Marcel was a crew member before, and he rose to the position by killing the original captain not long after he joined.
As for the original captain, he has been thrown into the sea to feed the fish...
The Grand Line has always respected the strong. Even among the Straw Hat Pirates, Monkey D. Luffy has always been the strongest.
Marcel was silent for a moment and then said:
"As you wish, you are stronger now, but I have something to say up front. I will find opportunities to challenge you in the future! If you lose, hand over the position of captain!"
It’s not like he has never been an ordinary sailor, he has big fists and can talk about anything.
"Okay, anyone is welcome to challenge me at any time."
Master Ren yawned lazily and reached out to help the vice-captain Marcel.
Although this group of people are very picky, let's make do with it for now.
He did not expect to dominate the sea with this group of newcomers. The Nine Snakes Pirates and the "Pirate Empress" Boya Hancock were his team. In addition, there were many talented people in the city...
A quarter of an hour later, the deck was cleared.
The Blood Pirates were renamed the Lionheart Pirates, and Ren took over as captain. They officially became the non-recyclable garbage in the words of Marshal Sengoku.
The crew gathered in the galley and held a banquet to welcome the new captain.
Ren crossed his legs and sat on a chair. The best barbecue, fresh fruits and various fine wines were placed on the dining table in front of him.
This chapter is not finished yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! He took a sip from a bottle of beer in his hand, looked at the twenty or so members of the Blood Pirates, and asked:
"Are these few seedlings left?"
We can't even get 30 people together, so it's a bit shabby to be cannon fodder.
Many of them were even decorated with colors and bandages, and some people believed them when they said they were refugees.
"Captain, originally we were bleeding...cough, originally there were 64 of us, but three days ago we suffered heavy losses after the battle with Whitebeard's Great Vortex Spider Skuyard..."
Next to Marcel, a muscular man with afro hair said.
His name is Circe, and he was originally the deputy captain and navigator, but now that the deputy captain has become Marcel, he is just a navigator.
"Skuard?" Renn put down his wine glass and twitched the corner of his mouth.
Isn't this the number one filial son in the One Piece world?
Scuyard has average strength, average appearance, average reputation, and impressive IQ... He can bully the newcomers of the Blood Pirates.
But his achievements are extraordinary.
He stabbed his father, the Yonko Whitebeard, in the chest from behind, severely injuring him. His record was brilliant. Neither Kaido nor Big Mom had such a record.
Now Scuyard has added another amazing achievement, he actually defeated the Blood Pirates, the predecessor of the Lionheart Pirates.
With this alone, he can brag for the rest of his life.
Seeing the slightly mocking smile on Ren's face, Marcel misunderstood something:
"Captain, it's ridiculous. We are a bunch of frogs in the well who don't even know what domineering is, so we don't know how high it is to challenge the Four Emperors Whitebeard."
He saw Scuyard display his domineering power for the first time a few days ago, and he was deeply impressed.
The opponent's swordsmanship is not much better than his, but he can overwhelm him with his armament and domineering power. Of course, Scuyard's domineering power is a joke when compared to Captain Lane.
"Not funny."
In front of the main seat of the dining table, Ren opened his belly and bit into a delicious chicken leg, "Although I overestimate my ability, this is the New World's annual repertoire...
I call this a severe beating from society. This program tells the newcomers one thing - your dad is still your dad!"
Marcel: "..."
Crew: "..."
What you said makes me feel even more heartbroken...
Renn continued to eat meat and drink from a large bowl: "Don't be sad and depressed. There are many people who have been severely beaten. There are many people who are worse than you. At least some of you are not wiped out and there are still people who come back alive and have all the parts..."
Many people may think that with the three-legged cat skills of the Blood Pirates, wouldn't it be courting death to challenge Whitebeard?
However, this is completely normal.
The "Sand Crocodile" Crocodile and "Fire Fist" Ace of the Shichibukai didn't even learn Haki back then, and they challenged Whitebeard almost as soon as they arrived in the new world.
As a result, one of them ran away as a grandson and the other stayed as a son.
As a result, Lao Sha is the king of the Qiwuhai, and he still hasn't learned how to be domineering...
Later, Eustace Kidd, "Umine" Apu, Magician Hawkins and other pirate supernovas of the same generation as Luffy also just arrived in the New World and rushed to fuck the Yonko.
The result is that he was fucked...
Believe it or not, this is a tradition, an annual repertoire.
Master Ren kept stuffing barbecue into his stomach, and his mouth was full of oil:
"What would you have done if you hadn't met me?"
"Design to the red-haired pirates!"
There was a trace of unwillingness in Marcel's eyes, and he clenched the hilt of the sword at his waist. "My strength is too weak. I can't even defeat a little pirate from the new world... I want to learn swordsmanship from the red-haired swordsman."
And domineering!
Foil Bista is also a good choice, but..."
However, he had just threatened to take down Whitebeard's dog head in front of Whitebeard's son, so even if he chose to surrender, he would not have the shame to become Huajian's disciple.
'Red hair? Give me some face?'
Renn smiled slightly, "I see. Does this count as cutting off the beard of a red-haired person?"
Marcel is not as talented as Sauron, but he is still pretty good.
He is 26 years old this year. He has understood the secret of iron cutting and flying slash without any guidance from a famous teacher. He can still train him. At least red-haired Shanks will most likely accept this person.
After stealing the red-haired business, Ren was in a good mood, so he refused to give him face:
"There's no need to go to him. Just follow me and learn a few tricks from now on."
"Captain, are you also... a swordsman?"
Marcel was stunned when he heard this. Seeing that he didn't even have a weapon on him, he couldn't help but have a trace of doubt in his eyes.
The rest of the crew who were eating and drinking looked at each other in confusion. There was no swordsman without a sword.
"Of course." Master Ren's nostrils were raised in the sky, "Eagle Eye Mihawk is only at my level, and there can be no more.
In fact, if I hadn't always been indifferent to fame and fortune, the world's greatest swordsman would have been replaced long ago."
Everyone: "..."
It always feels like the captain is playing a few blows...
Although the new captain is much stronger than Marcel, they have never heard of Ren, and they don't think he can arm-wrestle with the world's greatest swordsman, red-haired Shanks.
Marcel also felt that he might have...drank too much fake wine, so he slapped his face calmly:
"Then why didn't I see you using a sword just now?"
The time is too short, so of course this group of people will not give up so easily.
"Because you guys are too good at it."
Ren couldn't help but burp, and glanced at the group of people with disgust, "It's so miserable. I'm bullying you with a sword."
Marcel: "..."
Could this person be a pretender?
Navigator Circe: "..."
Calm down, maybe the wine at today's banquet was watered down.
Crew: "..."
Is there such a poisonous captain?
If they are sprayed a few more times, they will feel that their lives are a waste of food...
"Okay, let's not talk about this."
Ren didn't hurt their fragile hearts anymore, and waved to the muscular navigator, "Wen Xi, go get some recent newspapers and show them to me."
It's time to see what time it is.
"Captain, my name is Sirsi, not Wenxi." The navigator with an afro haircut and a slightly honest face corrected.
This chapter is not finished yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! He didn't understand why the captain insisted on calling him Wen Xi.
"Um?"
Ren tilted his head, stared, and gave him a death stare.
(●—●)
Navigator Circe was stared at by his eyes as deep as the night sky, and a drop of cold sweat broke out on his forehead.
"Haha, Wen Xi understands, I'll go get it right away."
Sirsi was so stared at that she could no longer withstand the pressure of the captain's death gaze and was forced to change her name to Wenxi.
He couldn't afford to offend him. He suspected that there might be something wrong with the captain's mind.
Wen Xishan smiled and hurried to the reference room and brought a stack of recent newspapers.
After having enough wine and food, Renn had some time to look through the newspapers.
"Shocked! The Straw Hat Pirates declared war on the World Government and destroyed Judiciary Island in a frenzy!"
Renn: "..."
A sense of déjà vu from the UC editor.
This newspaper comes from the World Economic News Service. That birdman Morgans is really a talent.
It was he who, two years later, boldly praised Monkey D. Luffy as the "Fifth Emperor of the Sea", causing a huge sensation.
This newspaper was published not long ago, so the battle on Judiciary Island must have ended.
He flipped through the pages again, and there were constant breaking news in the newspaper, proving that the sea was very lively.
"Exclusive reveal, the captain of the fourth team of the Whitebeard Pirates, Sachi, was accidentally killed! The majesty of the Four Emperors Whitebeard was wiped out!"
"His Majesty the Shichibukai Moonlight Moria was defeated by the Straw Hat Pirates. The Straw Hat Pirates repeatedly stirred up troubles and became famous."
"The "Pirate Empress" Boya Anna Hancock attacked the Beast Pirates again and shot "Drought" Jack into the sea. The Four Emperors Kaido became angry and threatened to take revenge! "
Um?
The last newspaper made Ren's eyes light up.
The other news was within his expectations and was used to determine the time point, but this one was unexpected.
He sent his contracted elf, the spiritual "Gorgon" Medusa, to the OP world in advance, and possessed it in the body of Boya Hancock when she was a child.
When two women's souls share the same body, there will definitely be many variables.
The extended name of Boya Anna Hancock is proof of that.
But he didn't expect that this enhanced pirate empress would dare to provoke Kaido.
It's not that he looked down on the original Pirate Empress. She was on the same level as Doflamingo and it would be difficult to defeat Drought Jack.
She is said to be the Pirate Empress, but in fact, among the female pirates, the one who is truly qualified to be called the Emperor is Big Mom Charlotte Sungling.
The original Boya Hancock might not have been able to defeat one of Big Mom's "Three Dessert Generals", Juice Minister Charlotte Smoothie, and it was impossible for him to dare to provoke Kaido repeatedly.
Yes, the newspaper said that this is not the first time that the Nine Snakes Pirates and the Beasts Pirates have clashed.
Unfortunately, this news only occupies a small page of the newspaper. It does not specifically describe the grudges between the two, nor does it even comment much. It seems that everyone is used to the Empress and Kaido fighting...
There is only one summary:
Ever since the Pirate Empress suffered a loss at the hands of Kaido ten years ago, she has taken revenge on the Beast Pirates whenever she has the chance. This crazy woman's strength has become more and more terrifying.
'Crazy woman? Is the Empress' reputation so bad? The newspapers openly said so...'
Ren's mouth twitched.
If there were two souls fighting for control of the body, would it not be crazy?
Seeing that he had finished lunch and read the newspaper, Wen Xi came over to report the situation:
"Reporting to the captain, there is not much food, wine and fruit on the Lion (formerly the Sanguine Blood). It can last for a week at most. There is a serious shortage of medical supplies such as bandages, diarrhea medicine, hemostatic medicine and painkillers.
In addition, after the battle with the Great Whirlpool Spider Scuyard, the hull was seriously damaged, six of the forts were damaged, and the cannonballs were also needed..."
"Stop!" Ren's head was pounding after hearing this, "You just need to tell me what to do!"
I discovered for the first time that being a captain is not that easy.
"Of course we need to go ashore to resupply and find craftsmen to repair the ship... Just leave these trivial matters to Marcel and me, but——"
Wen Xi rubbed his hands with expectation in his eyes, "Captain, there are not many gold and baileys left on the ship, it's time to make a fortune!"
Make a vote?
An excited smile appeared on Ren's lips, "Okay, let's grab his. Where is the nearest island?"
He didn't bother to rob civilians, but he planned to rob a few notorious local tycoons, nobles or corrupt world government officials.
Money is secondary, the key is to build a reputation and let the empress know that he is coming.
He didn't want to lead a group of bronze noobs for too long, so he would replace them with stronger teammates and go directly to the peak match, targeting Kaido's grandson.
The maid who dared to bully him was so tired of living.
"Yeah! It's finally time to take action!"
"Long live the ship!"
"We must win! We must win!"
The twenty-odd crew members of the Lionheart Pirates cheered excitedly.
They had just experienced a disastrous defeat, suffered heavy losses, killed many of their comrades, almost all of them lost, and were in desperate need of a victory.
They also believe that under the leadership of the new captain, whose strength overwhelms the old captain Marcel, they will be able to wash away their shame.
In fact, Ren was able to gain the basic recognition of this group of pirates so easily, not only because of his strong fists, but also because Marcel's majesty had been shattered after the tragic defeat.
Ren glared at him: "Besides, do you remember the rules I set?"
"You are not allowed to kill innocent people indiscriminately, you are not allowed to rape women, and you are not allowed to set fire to houses or forests!" Everyone said in unison.
This is a rule, but it's not really strict.
Innocent refers to the old, weak, women and children who are unarmed and have little fighting ability, or those who run away and have no intention of resisting.
Pirates are not allowed to rape women. They can accept it. If they have physiological needs, they can go to prostitutes. Otherwise, why would you steal so much money?
It's easier to not set fires. The pirates are not criminal suspects and there is no need to destroy the evidence.
Leaving behind incriminating evidence will also allow the World Government to increase the bounty.
Many pirates kill people and then set them on fire, which is just cruelty and has no meaning.
As for only robbing the big shots and not civilians, the crew didn't mind.
Whose money is not money?
Besides, if they don’t want to be thrown into the sea to feed the fish, they don’t dare to have any objections...
Ren waved his hand, preparing to fight the local bully: "Tell me, where is the nearest island?"
"It's Ovidi Town. It should be very close. It can be reached in half a day at most..."
Wen Xi looked at his wrist. There was a record pointer with three route pointers on a dial. As a newbie who had just arrived in the new world, he was not familiar with this new pointer.
"It's very close."
Arriving on the deck of the ship, Ren pointed to the black bulge exposed on the sea and patted Wen Xi on the head. "It doesn't take half a day. Anyone can see it."
Wen Xi: "..."
It's so embarrassing.
He is just a newbie, forgive him for being unprofessional.
Half an hour later, the Lion arrived at the small town of Ovidi in the New World.
Since they had never been here before, they didn't know what the situation in the town was like. It wasn't until they landed in the eyes of the civilians in the town who were a little frightened and uneasy that they realized that this town could only be described as being like a bird.
The horseshoe-shaped island has a radius of several kilometers, but the land is very barren. It can hardly grow any crops and there is no vegetation. The villagers can only make a living by fishing.
Looking at the group of sallow-looking villagers, Ren finally understood why no one came to occupy this place.
"Boss, do you want to rob or not?" asked a pirate.
"What are you robbing?" Ren rolled his eyes, "They are so poor that even if they give me money, I would be embarrassed to take it!"
Everyone: "..."
Wen Xi frowned: "What should we do? Brothers have to eat."
Ren touched his chin and looked at Marcel: "What do you think?"
"Perhaps, we can rob other pirates. They are much richer than the villagers." Marcel suggested.
Black eats black?
Ren's eyes lit up, this is a good idea. As a successor of socialism, to be honest, he is really not used to robbing.
"Okay, who is the nearest big pirate here?"
"It seems to be Tenyaksha Donquixote Doflamingo, one of the King's Shichibukai located in Dressrosa."
