As for some luxurious lineup, Hiko had not actually decided exactly which subordinates he wanted to recruit. However, he already had a rough framework in mind for the force he wanted to build.
Hiko stood with his hands behind his back, listening to the endless fake cheers around him. The sea breeze gently lifted his hair, and dressed in white, he stood apart with an ethereal grace, his bearing like that of an immortal. Baby5, standing behind him, stared at him in a daze.
"You can take your time thinking that over!" Hiko said with an easy smile. "But if the capable officers and fierce generals under my command keep increasing, conflicts will probably increase as well. I only hope that you can all get along."
Luo was puzzled. The Four Generals under Hiko's command appeared to get along quite well at present. Even Drake, who had only joined recently, had blended into the group smoothly. After two battles, they had also developed a certain tacit understanding. But from Hiko's words, would they recruit some eccentric and difficult subordinates in the future?
The long welcoming procession on the sea stretched for dozens of miles. After all, they had defeated fleets under the Four Emperors in two consecutive battles. Across the entire world, there were only a handful of forces with such strength. The influential figures of these nations no longer dared to take things lightly, terrified that one careless move would offend Uchiha Hiko, this dazzling rising star, again.
One had to know that every pirate at the level of a senior officer under the Four Emperors was, if thrown into any corner of the sea, a great pirate capable of stirring up a bloody storm. Such people could often plunge an entire country into irreversible ruin all by themselves.
