Chapter 27 - Cleaning Up the Peats

That's right, just like the previous Burgess, Doc Q, who was originally under Blackbeard's orders, was also one of the first four to join the original crew! 

Before the crew recruitment meeting began, two of Blackbeard's original associates appeared, which made Karl feel that things were getting more and more interesting. 

"Since both have appeared, the remaining two should..." 

In fact! 

Just as Karl was thinking to himself, his eyes, among the crowd coming from a distance, caught a familiar figure again! 

With a black top hat, holding a sharp cane in his hand, dressed like a theater character... 

Lafitte! 

Blackbeard's original navigator was also one of his first four companions! 

"It looks like I got it right, Lafitte is here too..." 

"It is estimated that in the original story, Blackbeard met some of them here." 

"After all? Saraka Island itself was Blackbeard's suggestion." 

"Now there are three groups of four, and the last one has not appeared. This way, I'm afraid it will appear here as well!" 

Karl thought to himself in his heart, the first four members of the Blackbeard Pirates, only the sniper was missing, and that's Van Augur hadn't shown up yet! 

But at this moment, he has a very strong intuition and feels that the last person can also appear here! 

"Zehahahaha, it's lively, it's so wonderful this carnival!" 

A sudden burst of laughter brought Karl back to reality from his contemplation. 

"Karl, almost all of them have arrived and the rest are just garbage. I feel like I can get started. There's no need to wait, right?" 

At this time, Blackbeard also turned his head and asked him with a smile on his face. 

After the two of them waited for more than ten minutes, almost all the pirates from the entire island gathered here... 

Seduced by the devil fruit, a group of pirates responded one after another and came to participate in the so-called test, trying to get on the ship Blackbeard and Karl! 

After all, Devil Fruit is too rare, especially in the first half of the Grand Line! 

For strong physical skills and swordsmen, reaching the high level is very complicated since it deserves great training from an early age, if not, it will not be successful. 

Almost the vast majority of people have long since missed this opportunity! 

So if you want to become strong in one fell swoop, you can only link your hope to the Devil Fruit! 

Hearing this, Karl nodded and said, "There's really no need to wait, let's clear the field first." 

"Clear the field?" 

Hearing Karl's words, Blackbeard was a little taken aback. 

"Yes, clear the field!" 

As soon as he lowered his voice, I saw Karl's eyes widen and an impressive aura quietly burst out... 

The next moment, a transparent aura, centered on Karl, quickly attacked in all directions! 

As soon as this impulse appeared, the people present felt it, and everyone's eyes were filled with shock! 

However, before they could react, this aura had already crossed their bodies and spread out in a farther direction! 

In the blink of an eye, Karl's powerful aura enveloped everyone present! 

*Plop*Plop*Plop* 

At the same time, I saw quite a few pirates present, they all rolled their eyes, foamed at the mouth, lost consciousness, fell to the ground one after another, and the sound of banging was endless. 

"Conqueror's Haki!?" 

The pirates who were not stunned by this aura were shocked by this pressure and looked at the high platform in disbelief. 

No one could have imagined that someone with the skills of a king would appear in Saraka! 

That's right, Karl released his Conqueror's Haki! 

Under the impact of this terrifying atmosphere, 90% of the thousands of pirates present fell straight down! 

Like chopping wheat, the originally crowded square instantly turned into a pile of bodies... 

Although there are still few people standing. 

But compared to the people lying on the ground, they are very few, and in a moment the square is deserted! 

And this is what Karl said about clearing the field! 

This time, it wasn't that he willingly released the Conqueror's Haki to show off. 

There is really no way, the number of pirates is too many! 

With the gathering of many pirate forces, their subordinates alone accounted for the majority of them. 

Let them all participate in the evaluation? So, don't you turn the qualifying match into an entertainment game? 

Moreover, allowing them to exist cannot prevent some bastards from taking advantage of the fact that there are many subordinates to deliberately consume the physical strength of competitors. 

It's almost time, he's out to harvest. 

The person selected in this way is definitely not what Karl wants, and probably not what Blackbeard wants. 

Therefore, in order to avoid such a situation, Karl directly chose to use the Conqueror's Haki to clear the field first! 

He is not concerned with surprising powerful people. His Conqueror's Haki hasn't reached that level... 

The ones who fell were basically minion or mafia level characters, which was what I expected. 

After all, he is here, but it has only been a month, and it is quite a good thing that the Conqueror's Haki could only take down uncivilized birds and beasts from the beginning, and now he can stun a little pirate who is stronger than ordinary people. 

Now his talent and strength is stronger than that of the original owner of this body! 

After all, the system has been strengthened twice. If he wants to get rid of that debris, Karl might as well find a pillar and beat it to death. 

In short, the current strength of the Conqueror's Haki is enough to achieve its purpose! 

"That's it, Zehahahahaha! Indeed, these trash fish are not worthy of participating in this selection. In my crew, not everyone has a chance to get in!" 

"Even if it's just an evaluation, not everyone is worthy of participating!" 

Seeing what Karl did and the drastic changes in the faces of some pirates below, Blackbeard also reacted without explanation. 

"Karl, you're very considerate of your Haki. We cannot allow opportunists to enter anywhere, although I am also one of them..." 

"But I, Teach, don't want anyone to become our subordinate like that!" 

"In that case, these top devil fruits would be wasted in vain." 

Nonsense! 

Who isn't? Karl thinks, is there any opportunistic bastard bigger than him? 

He was right, there are quite a few opportunists in the crowd, and it seems that they had this plan. 

They thought that once the competition started, they would rely on their subordinates to help take down the opponent and harvest. 

But now, their illusions have been shattered! 

"It's beyond my expectations, there's still a lot of people who can stand up, it's not bad." 

Looking at the hundreds of people who remained in the square below, Karl nodded in satisfaction, and then said, "First, congratulations, you have won the tickets for the contest to become the nakamas of the Blackbeard Pirates!"
