"Everyone, I think you all already know who I am. So I won't say any more unnecessary nonsense and let's get straight to the point."
Glancing at the last dozen or so people left in the tavern, Allen skipped the pleasantries and officially announced the start of selecting team members.
As a rather picky person, he has always followed the principle of erring on the side of shortage rather than excess. He will never be like other Pirate Crews who take in anyone and use them as cannon fodder in order to expand the scale.
To be precise, quantity has no meaning at all in the world of One Piece.
A strong Conqueror's Haki can instantly eliminate all those weak cannon fodders.
Therefore, in Allen's plan, his main combat team should be an elite group of ten to twenty people. More than half of the main combatants will eventually have the potential to grow into Marine Admiral, while the remaining half are professionals with special talents.
"Hahahaha! I like your cheerfulness! Tell me, what are the requirements to join your Pirate Crew?" A strong man over four meters tall asked with a laugh, patting his chest covered with thick black hair.
"It's very simple! First of all, all Raider Gundam activities targeting civilians, villages and ordinary merchant ships are prohibited. If any of you have made similar mistakes, please do so immediately. For the sake of coming from afar, I will let you go temporarily this time." Allen calmly gave the first filter.
"What? Are you kidding me?" The strong man with black hair on his chest showed an expression of astonishment.
Not only him, but several people also frowned immediately.
After all, among One Piece, Pirate Crew, who is not engaged in Raider Gundam at all, like Red-Haired and Luffy, is simply an outlier.
"No! I'm serious. You have one minute. If you haven't left within one minute, I will assume that you have never done it. If you are found out by me in the future, there will be only one end. You will kill to pay for your life, and you will pay for your debts."
When saying this, Allen's eyes flashed with a chilling light.
It was obvious that he was not joking, but serious.
"Damn it! Are you also called One Piece?" The strong man stood up in annoyance, his tone full of disdain.
After all, in his eyes, One Piece is the representative of freedom and doing whatever you want. Otherwise, why would you risk death and go to sea?
"You have forty-three seconds."
Allen glanced at his watch very calmly, not paying attention to the other party at all.
This indifferent attitude undoubtedly annoyed the strong man.
He turned his eyes and thought about it, and immediately turned around and shouted to the remaining people, "Hey! Guys! You should have heard that this guy doesn't look like One Piece at all. If Raider Gundam is not allowed, then what's the point of this One Piece in front of us. Let's go, this place is not suitable for us at all."
"Agree! What One Piece wants is freedom and to do whatever he wants! If Raider Gundam is not allowed, I would rather go back to Hometown to farm." Another person also stood up and shouted.
In just a few seconds, the last remaining people stood up and wanted to leave, cursing.
But what's interesting is that among the people here, there are three others who are not affected at all.
On the contrary, when they looked at these booing guys, their eyes and faces looked like they were looking at a group of clowns.
When these guys who were accustomed to doing evil and were unwilling to accept any restraint gathered together and planned to leave the tavern together, they suddenly heard a sound from behind that made their spines shiver.
"Sorry, the time is up, you don't have to leave."
The words just fell!
A flash of silver lightning instantly bloomed in the tavern!
Before anyone else could realize what was happening, a burnt black hole appeared in the chests of twelve One Piece, who had a bounty of over 100 million.
It was obvious that their hearts had been penetrated and torn apart by some powerful force.
The next second...
Thump! thump! thump!
With doubts and unwillingness, these unlucky souls who had lost their hearts lay on the ground one by one, either with their heads down or on their backs, and took their last breath.
Facing the incredible speed of Rumble-Rumble Fruit, they didn't even have a chance to resist before they were already dead.
Red Dragon took the opportunity to jump off the master's shoulders and landed next to two Devil Fruit users. He extracted the power of rules from their bodies and re-injected it into the fresh fruit to form Devil Fruit.
The remaining three people saw these guys whose strength was almost the same as themselves being killed on the spot, and their foreheads were instantly covered with beads of sweat.
One of the fat men couldn't help but clapped his hands and laughed and said, "Hahahaha! Awesome! So awesome! As expected of Sea Devil who can rival Marine Admirals and the world's strongest man Whitebeard."
"Who are you?" Allen turned around and looked at the other person with interest.
"My name is George ia Rini. I was given the nickname Meatball. I have a bounty of 160 million. I am very good at physical skills and hand-to-hand combat." The fat man suppressed the fear in his heart and introduced himself.
"George ya Rini?"
Allen was obviously hearing this name for the first time, and subconsciously turned his attention to Nami.
The latter briefly recalled the information he had collected and immediately replied, "He has only attacked one naval base. Indeed, there is no record of attacking towns, villages or merchant ships."
"Very good! Then I want to congratulate you for successfully passing the assessment. Welcome aboard, George Ya Rini. From now on, you will be a member of Demon Pirates." Allen smiled and accepted the fat man in front of him.
Because he could feel that in the other party's fat body, it was not simply a accumulation of fat, but some kind of energy reserve that could be called upon at any time, somewhat similar to the Akimichi Clan in the Naruto world.
It's just that this guy is bigger and has more storage.
If paired with Life Energy, and a Zoan Devil Fruit, or Paramecia Devil Fruit, it can become a good combat power in minutes.
"Ah? That's passed!" George Ya Rini blinked with a confused look on his face.
Allen smiled and nodded, "Of course! I have already felt the amazing energy contained in your body."
"That's it! Hahahaha!" The fat man's face changed slightly, and he quickly pretended to be stupid and fooled him.
He couldn't believe in his dreams that his biggest secret was actually seen through by the other party at a glance.
"Hello, my name is Moore, I am Sniper from West Blue. The current reward is 139 million Beli. I can accurately shoot down even a sparrow within one kilometer."
"My name is Omir, I come from a small island country in the first half of Grand Line, and I currently have a bounty of 180 million Beli."
Seeing that George ya Rini had been accepted, the other two people finally couldn't sit still anymore and hurriedly stood up and introduced themselves.
Since they are all One Piece with a bounty of over 100 million, it is easy to find the information given on their wanted orders as long as they state their names, and there is no need to give too detailed explanations at all.
