Chapter 13

In One Piece As A Pirate

Chapter: 13

5 days later.

At night, Rood Pirate was eating and drinking with an old man.

"Gunners, what about you guys' dodging techniques? Can you guys now dodge in hand-to-hand combat.?" Rood asks all the members who use guns in fights.

"It can't be said that we are good at it. But right now, we need to try it in a real fight." The tallest of the five brothers told Rood about their situation.

Rood thought about what a gunner could do other than shoot from a long distance. In a hand-to-hand fight, they can dodge and then fight. What if they don't have any weapons in their hands? Can they escape? What if those old, quality guns suddenly stuck in the middle of the fight?

What if they learn how to throw bullets? But this one need physical power and accuracy.

"I think even if you are a gunman, you need a higher level of physical power to live long. Or you may die if you lose your gun." Rood described the situation of the gunners.

"From today on, you guys will learn to throw pebbles. Target: Distance Should be long, and accuracy should be higher. Last physical training." Rood shared his plan for the Gunners. After hearing what Rood said, the gunners became more energetic.

Just like that day passed by. The day for setting sail came again.

Rood was standing on the bow of the ship. Unsheathe his sabre. He held it to the sky and slashed his sabre.

"Let's go. To the Roshwan Kingdom, Rood shouted while slashing his Sabre.

The old man who was sitting behind everyone. His pupils shrank again. What the hell! What a smooth slash. 0% wind resistance.

On the other side, Duke is standing at the border of the deck. If he shakes a little, he will fall into the sea. He is now practicing to improve his balance.

After sailing for half a day, they encounter a pirate ship. Its name is Bamboo Pirates.

"The nine members of the crew will fight against all of them. The gunners will support you from behind. Can you guys, do it?" Rood, I explained the plan and asked them if they agreed.

"Yes. Captain." Shouted by nine people. After the pirate ship got a little closer, the bamboo pirates started to shoot from long distances with cannons. But their accuracy isn't enough.

Rood pirates reached them and started to fight. The funny thing is that everyone on that pirate ship fights with a bamboo pole. So, most of the nine people get beaten at first. but after fighting for a while. Nine crew members subdued all the bamboo pirates. But Rood didn't kill all of them. It was a good fight.

So, the Rood pirates set sail again. But one thing Rood didn't know was that he had already changed a lot of people's destinies. These bamboo pirates will one day fight all the way to the New World.

two days later. The Rood pirates reached their destination, which was their base camp. On the way, they fought three more pirates. All three vicious pirates were killed by the Roods Nine crew members.

"Let's take a rest first. Then we will train like our plan was. In that way, we will wait for our new ship to get ready." Rood told everyone and went to Duke, who didn't talk with anyone for two days.

"Let's go to that girl." Rood, look at Duke, who now looks like a monk.

"Okay, let's go." Duke replied with a sinister smile.

Sometimes later, they came to the turban. Rood and Duke went straight to the girl and pointed their guns at her without taking much.

"So, you guys are still alive. As expected, the person who can earn a hundred million in a month." The girl who sold Rood's information to Wolf said it without any fear.

"You have quite a good network. I want you to work for me as an informant." Roods explained his purpose.

"Yes! Hah, hah, hah. Hey, Roods, do you know what you're talking about." The First Duke wanted to act like a scary pirate but was shocked by the Roods proposal.

"You know I have already sold your information to someone. I think you won't like my kind of people on your boat." The girl tried to be calm while replying.

"I don't want you to get on my boat. You just need to share information with us." Rood made his proposal clearly.

"What's there for me in that? You are just a rookie pirate who didn't get a bounty," the girl replied with an intelligent expression.

"What she said is true. Let's go. Don't bother her." Duke persuaded Rood. After getting out of the turban,

"Why did you take me away? I was just starting to get angry." Rood asked Duke.

"Well, girls are very soft. You can't just put a gun on their head to join your pirate group." Duke told Rood to focus on his mistake.

"What you told me is right. Let's go try again. in a different way." Rood smiled while looking at his friend, Duke. After they walk in the turban,

"We need a phone bug. I know you have them. Tell me the price." Rood didn't know how to collect those phone bugs. So, he thinks this is the best way.

"800 million bellies" The girl replied like a puppet. The moment she replied. Rood placed his gun in the girl's head without thinking much. But Duke didn't let Rood shoot her.

He put his finger on the trigger so that Rood didn't kill her. Duke took Rood away again.

Rood, look at Duke, who doesn't know the power of information. So, this time, Rood left Duke outside the turban.

"We need a partner who can help us with information all over the world. Also a phone bug." Rood looks at the girl in front of him and asks with a calm mind.

But before the girl could say something, A voice came from the outside of the turban.

"Give him a phone bug for free. But information needs to be bought with bellies." The voice was old, with a little rudeness.

After looking at the person who came, Rood was a little shocked.

Why is this old man everywhere? 

"Don't think much about me. I'm just doing you a favour." The old man said it with a mysterious voice.

"Okay. I will remember this favour." After taking the phone, Rood went away.

Just like that, more than 10 days have passed. Today, Rood and Duke went to the shipyard to see the progress.

After seeing the half-built new ship and its size, Roods first thought that he needed more crew members.

"I think we need more men." Rood gave his thoughts to Duke.

"How do I find people?" Duke asks for requirements.

"Whatever the weird ability, knowledge, dream, etc. they have." Rood replied to his friend.

"Remember, everyone has the quality to be the strongest. All they need is to believe in themselves. So, we look for those who believe in their ability, knowledge, dream, etc."

"But you have to be clear. Because they may hide their original thought and betray us one day." Rood explained the best way to recruit crew members.

"Okay. Let's go find some good fighters." Duke went in his chosen direction.

After a few days, Rood and Duke came to another part of the forest. 

Rood has seven people with him. Duke, on the other hand, has five people.

'Hah, with the Gol D. Roger speech. Now, a lot of people want to be pirates. It didn't take long to find some new crew members. but they need some tests to see their strength.'
