Some senior crew members said: "Our captain is truly amazing. He once scared away twelve pirate ships by himself." Pierre said: "The flag of our captain's ship belongs to a pirate crew called the Roar Pirates. Their captain is named Payado, and he's a Paramecia-type Devil Fruit user, the Roar-Roar Fruit. He can emit sonic attacks from his mouth." Julian said: "It's fine that they ran away. Allison said: "That's because they were smart. If they hadn't run fast enough, our captain could have killed them instantly."

Julian said: "How dare they approach my ship! I really should have hung them up." Pierre said: "The captain's roar has a shockwave attack that can hit people a kilometer away." Julian felt a chill down his spine and said: "Indeed, it's fortunate I didn't use Sword Flight to go over." Julian also said to Herbert: "Everyone, continue your training. There are too many pirates and marines with strength out at sea." Herbert said: "Understood, Captain."

Just then, the Den Den Mushi in Julian's pocket rang. "Moshi moshi," Julian took out the Den Den Mushi and said: "What is it?" Rose's voice came from the Den Den Mushi: "Captain, the slave we rescued earlier has woken up." Julian thought back to the slave tied to a stake. He thought the man was on his last legs, so he had other slaves bring him onto the ship. He didn't expect him to have survived.

Julian had originally planned to give him a grand funeral if he died, to gain more prestige among the crew. He had even prepared the eulogy →_→. He didn't expect him to wake up and survive. Moreover, surviving after being tortured for so long meant he must be an expert. Being specially treated surely meant he was a person with a story. This also caught Julian's attention. Of course, Alice also played a part in his waking up. Rose's skills weren't quite there yet. Rose was also learning medical skills from Alice. Julian went from the fourth floor to the second floor.

He arrived at the infirmary and saw the slave awake, sitting on the bed and chatting with Rose and several nurses. Seeing the captain arrive, everyone bowed slightly to Julian and said: "Captain." Julian looked at everyone present and said directly: "We are all family. There's no need for such formalities in the future." The crew members looked at Julian with even more admiration, thinking emotionally: "Our captain said we are all family. He actually treats us like family."

Julian went to the slave and said: "Brother, have you recovered? Are you feeling unwell anywhere? Don't be afraid, you've been rescued by us. You don't have to be a slave anymore." Julian also gave him a kind smile. The slave was very moved and said to Julian: "Thank you. You are truly a group of great people. My name is Obi Pablo, and I was a Senior Guard, protecting merchant ships at sea."

Then, he looked at Julian dejectedly. "A while ago, my ship was attacked by pirates. All my crew members were killed by the pirates." He then said: "Seeing that I had some strength, they sold me to slave traders." Julian felt that he was indeed strong and decided to test his strength later. Julian immediately began to counsel Pablo and comforted him, saying: "The weather is unpredictable, and life is full of ups and downs." Julian secretly thought: "Judging by his appearance, he doesn't seem willing to become a pirate yet."

Julian immediately transformed into a motivational speaker, saying: "If we become the strongest pirates, can we then kill other wicked pirates? Wouldn't that be the true power to change the sea?" Julian explained his ship's rules and motto to Pablo. He also told him that if you want to oppose cruel pirates, you need your own armed forces. If you want to create peace on the sea, it's the same. Julian further explained that if everyone clasps their fists together, they can possess the power to overturn the sea. He also told him that he himself wanted to establish his own nation, free from oppression and exploiters, where people help each other.

Julian continued his psychological manipulation, and Pablo was completely swayed. He agreed to work for Julian. Julian continued to curry favor with him, making Pablo very moved. He realized that there were still such great people in the world. Julian then inquired about Pablo's injuries. Pablo admitted that his physical injuries were severe at first, but his mental trauma was even worse. However, during his days of unconsciousness, he had been largely treated. He expressed his willingness to join Julian's Senior Pirate crew and become one of the Heroes of Mount Liang at sea.

Julian comforted him, saying: "Then rest well for now." Julian walked out and saw flocks of News Birds appearing overhead. Several newspapers fluttered down. A bounty poster: "Mud Dragon Pirate Captain, Mud Dragon Julian, bounty 100 Million Belly, Logia-type Devil Fruit Swamp-Swamp Fruit user. First Division Captain, Great Bear George, bounty 50 Million, Zoan-type Devil Fruit Great Bear user. Second Division, Wild Boar Pekki, bounty 40 Million, Zoan-type Devil Fruit Wild Boar Fruit user. Third Division, White Wolf Allison, Zoan-type Devil Fruit White Wolf Fruit user, bounty 40 Million. Formerly of the White Wolf Pirates, now joined the Mud Dragon Pirates as Third Division Captain. Mud Dragon Pirates Chief Logistics Officer, Pierre, Devil Fruit ability unknown, Sky-Control Swordsmanship user, bounty 50 Million."

Julian was speechless. His first bounty was 100 Million. Even more speechless were the two attached photos. One was of Julian's original appearance, and the second was of Julian imitating Kaido's Dragon Form, holding a giant-sized Earth Club Eight Precepts. It also included an illustration of the Great Vigor Earth Dragon Eight Trigrams technique.

At this moment, Kaido was on Onigashima in Wano Country, holding a bounty poster. His mouth was wide open as he cursed: "This brat is using my moves! Is he trying to die? He even used the Great Vigor Earth Dragon Eight Trigrams technique. With his strength, he can't even pull off one hit. How dare he call it 'Great Vigor'!" At this time, a large fatty beside Kaido, Scourge Queen, said: "Boss Kaido, should we capture him? He dares to imitate Boss Kaido's appearance. I think he's tired of living."

Yes, the speaker was Queen, a four-meter-tall fatty with a truly indescribable appearance. He was the notorious leader of the black-hearted factory at the Udon Quarry in Wano Country, and also a Zoan-type Devil Fruit user, the Ancient Zoan, Brachiosaurus Form. Queen looked furious, feeling indignant on Kaido's behalf.

Kaido burst into laughter. "This brat must think I'm the strongest pirate on the sea, that's why he's imitating me. Bring him to me when we see him next. I'll teach him personally." Kaido said, then laughed again, "Ah~ha~ha~ha," and continued drinking. Beside him, a masked man, four meters tall, was the survivor of the Lunarian tribe, King the Conflagration, also known as Abel. Jin asked: "Boss Kaido, if we secretly seize Wano Country and Kozuki Oden returns to fight us, Kozuki Oden is Whitebeard's brother. Will we be beaten up by Whitebeard?"

Kaido said: "What are you afraid of Whitebeard for? I am the strongest creature on the sea. Once we establish our footing, Kozuki Oden will only be killed by me. The task of ruling Wano Country is entrusted to Kurozumi Orochi. We'll just collect protection fees." Jin nodded and said: "What about Whitebeard?" Kaido laughed heartily and said: "Just Whitebeard. I am the strongest creature in the world. I am Kaido, the King of Beasts!"

At this time, Julian was also very happy. Another excellent worker, and a Senior Guard Captain at that. This meant his swordsmanship was quite good. Julian was currently lacking in High-End Combat Power. With only five Division Captains and one Chief Logistics Officer, he could now have Pablo serve as Head of Logistics and add another division. He should have management skills. Also, if Pierre was always managing logistics, his training time would be reduced, and he needed to be freed up.

Six divisions, with 150 people per division. The rest would be sent to logistics. Julian's ship had about 1,680 people in total, including 527 female crew members and a little over 1,000 male crew members. Excluding the old, weak, sick, and disabled, there were only over 800 males. Julian planned to have each Division Captain command three Squadron Captains and fifteen Squad Leaders. He would then pay these people. Julian secretly thought: "I want to become a Warlord King, not just a Pirate King. When I attack Sky Island, I'll have the confidence. I'm truly a genius." Once Pablo recovers, the plan can be implemented.

Unknowingly, Julian had been sailing on the ship for five days. Julian sailed to a non-World Government member nation called the Kingdom of Lastra. Julian saw that the kingdom's construction on this island was quite good. Although the city only had over 50,000 people, the island did not collect Heavenly Gold, and the people lived quite well. Julian said: "I hope you can stay away from the sight of the Celestial Dragons."

Julian also replenished some alcohol on this island and then rested for a night. The next day, Julian had all the crew members spend money on the island, helping the kingdom's people prosper. Julian then set sail again.

Julian asked the Navigator how long it would take to reach the next island. Life on the ship was indeed very good, but Julian also wanted to continue leveling up his alt accounts. He wanted to find more World Government member nations in the South Blue and allow his subordinates to have ample time to train. If they reached the Grand Line now, Julian feared that his own strength would be insufficient, leading to heavy losses for his fleet.

Julian eagerly anticipated reaching the next island to seek opportunities. Every day, besides training, Julian would chat with other Division Captains and often have gatherings on the ship. Julian introduced Pablo to everyone, saying: "This is Pablo. He was formerly a Senior Guard Captain and has now joined our pirate crew. From now on, we are all brothers." Julian then began to clap, and the Division Captains also started clapping. Julian continued: "Pierre, you won't be the Chief Logistics Officer anymore. You are a born warrior, and it's a waste of talent to have you as Chief Logistics Officer. I plan to have Pablo be the Chief Logistics Officer, and you will be the Sixth Division Captain of our Mud Dragon Pirates, nicknamed Magnetic Sword." Pierre said: "Understood, Captain."
