We Will Erase Baroque Works from existence!

"Yes, Whahaha! What we found was Four Devil Fruit!" Don Krieg laughed loudly with a satisfied look when he saw everyone's faces shift into a look of greed when they heard his confirmation.

"What! You had four? then what happened to the other three?" RedBeard stepped forward as he asked that with greed shining through his eyes.

When the other Captain heard his question, they also looked at Don Krieg with Greed. Buggy could stand his ground against Baroque Works for the past five months with only one Devil Fruit. Imagine if he or they had four! They would be able to rule the East Blue!

"Me and My Vice-captains ate them"

Their greedy gazes didn't surprise Don Krieg, who had already suspected this would happen when he revealed the Devil Fruit.

The Captains looked at him with shock and suspicion in their eyes, which Don Krieg saw. He knew they wouldn't believe him until he showed them his new abilities, so he looked at Gin and said, "Why Don't you show them your New Devil Fruit ability, Gin."

"Sure, Captain" Gin nodded his head as he stood up.

The Don Castle, originally known as King's Castle, was a ruined castle with a lot of debris and destroyed walls, making it a dangerous place to live in.

Gin walked toward one of the destroyed walls and took out his unique Tonfa as he looked at the scenery outside of the castle, searching for an empty place to attack to show his new ability.

While Gin was looking at the scenery, the Captains surrounded Gin and looked at him quietly. They wanted to see what he was going to do.

"Look closely at that Hill," Gin said after he found his target, a small barren exquisite Hill. He took his throwing pose and grabbed his Tonfa tightly as his arm muscle enlarged by the pressure he put it through, making his veins pop out and his entire arm shake. He bent his knee and looked at the Hill with great concentration.

Crack!

"Strong-Strong Throw!" Gin yelled as he threw his Tonfa with all his strength; the ground underneath his legs started to crack into a spider web-like pattern by the pressure he placed on it.

'Huff... Huff... I'm still not used to my new power.' Gin Thought without taking his eyes off the Hill.

The Crowd were a little confused. Why did he throw his weapon? Wasn't he going to show them his devil fruit ability? The Crowd quietly chatted with each other as they continued looking at the Hill. While Kuroobi, Kuro, Buggy, and Kurl were looking at Hill with a lot of focus since three of them have come from the Grandline, so they know that many types of devil fruit exist in this World.

Wosh!

The unique Tonfa flowed rapidly toward barren Hill until suddenly it struck the Hill with such a force that for a millisecond, nothing happened. Afterwards, the Hill exploded into many large pieces, and a cloud of dust flew everywhere, raining down large Boulder on the nearby hills and mountains.

"...."

The scene shocked everyone to their core to the point that they were unable to take their eyes off what remained of the Hill. None of them even imagined that they would ever see a scene where any entire hill would disappear in front of their eyes like what this man did. Especially Buggy, Kuroobi, and Kuro couldn't believe this destruction was caused by a man.

'I didn't think I would ever see a feat like this ever again, especially not here in the East Blue.' Buggy thought as he gazed at the rain of rocks.

'This is bad... really, really bad! the headquarter needs to know this immediately or else... Baroque Works and East Blue would be in great danger!' Kurl instincts shrieked loudly at him, telling him to leave instantly or else he might die. But he clenched his fist as he refused to leave. He wouldn't go until he let the Baby Den Den Mushi record everything it could for the sake of Baroque Works.

While the Crowd were still in shock, the boulders slowly stopped raining down, and the cloud of dust gradually dispersed, showing the massive change that had happened to this beautiful terrain.

Where once a beautiful Hill with filled lush trees and greenery used to stand. Now, what remained of the exquisite Hill is just a flat wasteland filled with piles of large boulders and dust without a hint of its beautiful past.

Don Krieg's smile grew even large as he saw everyone's expression. He knew after this display of strength by Gin, many would abandon any great ambition they might have had while at the same time giving hope. Hope that they would be able to defeat Baroque Works and rule the East Blue.

Making his's personal ambition within reach. First, he will rule the East Blue, then become The Pirate King and rule the entire World, but before that, he needs to recruit people with extraordinary talent. So He pushes the Devil Fruit toward Kuro, saying, "Take this."

Startling many who were still in a state of shock by Gin's incredible feat of strength, making them look back at Don Krieg and the Devil fruit with greed and fear, greed for the Devil Fruit that made Gin capable of flattening a hill.

And fear from Don Krieg, the man who could command Gin. If Gin became this powerful, then what about him? It instantly made their greed disappear, and they became more obedient.

"What?" Koru was taken aback by this. He didn't understand why Don Krieg would give him something so valuable? was he trying to...

"Yes, for you. I originally planned to give it to Captain Kuroobi, but unfortunately, he refused, saying a Fishman has no interest in those fruits." Don Krieg said as he glanced at the Captain of the Fishman pirates, who nodded his head at Kuro.

"..." Kuro grew quiet after hearing what Don Krieg said. He knew Don Krieg wouldn't give it to him without an agenda, so he asked, "What do you want?"

His question made Don Krieg's smile grow more prominent, and he said, "What I want is for you to join my crew."

Kuro's eyebrow rose as he expected this would be one of his answers. In exchange for the devil fruit, he would need to join Don Krieg's crew and loss the privilege of Captain he currently has.

Kuro grew quiet as he thought about the pros and cons of Don Krieg's offer, and after considering it for a little while, he raised his head and looked at Don Krieg, who didn't say anything to persuade him and said, "I Accept."

He then took the Devil Fruit and took a bite from it as a sign of acceptance and a pledge of loyalty.

After thinking about it, Kuro felt there was nothing to lose by taking Don Krieg's offer and instead, a lot of benefits, a free devil fruit, a big crew to command, and his personal favorite, he wouldn't be the most significant target for the Marines and Baroque Works to hunt. Besides, if he didn't like it, he could abandon them and run away since he is a pirate for now.

"Whahaha! Good, Welcome to the Crew, Kuro of the Hundred Plans Whahaha!" Don Kreig said as he laughed loudly with a satisfied look.

"Congratulation Don Krieg," One of the Captain's said. He and the Crowd were quietly observing this. Some of them understood this was Don Krieg showing them how he treated those who joined his crew, tempting some of them, and so they quickly stood and tried to win his favor.

"Congratulation"

"Congratulation"

Many captains congratulation Don Krieg with big smiles on their faces. Their previous prejudice and hate toward him faded when they saw the benefit of joining him, making them more submissive and obedient to his commands.

Which Buggy and Kuroobi didn't like it since Don Krieg would gain more power and influence in this alliance if this kept on going, enlarging the gap between them until he would be the sole leader of this alliance.

Don Krieg noticed their darkening complexions and knew what they were thinking about, but he didn't care since, in the end, all of them would submit to him or die. And so he stood up and said.

"With Kuro of the hundred plans, Captain Buggy's Buggy ball, The Fishman SeaKing, My Devil fruit abilities, My leadership, and finally, all of you men, we will definitely erase Baroque Works from existence and Rule The East Blue!"

"To Rule The East Blue!"

"To Rule The East Blue!"

The Crowd quickly broke into chanting with excitement and bloodlust, brimming the hall as their hope of beating Baroque Works was at an all-time high.

"They will know how it fell to be the ones who are hunted! We shall make them feel the rage of the East Blue's pirate!" Don Krig's voice thundered in the hall.

"Kill them all."

"Kill"

"Kill"

Pirates' excitement and bloodlust rose to the point that it made the sea kings near the island to run away as the pirates were itching to unleash all their desires into the World.

As the Crowd were chanting, Kurl's heart started to beat loudly. He knew that he needed to leave now since he had collected everything he needed, so he slowly walked toward the nearest door when he noticed that Don Krieg was looking at him with a sinister look as he said, "Let's first take care of Baroque Works rat, Captain Kurl."
