A few seconds after swallowing the pill, Gaden felt a burning sensation spread rapidly from his abdomen to his whole body.

"This feeling! This feeling..."

He had an indescribable and powerful self-confidence in his heart. He felt that he could fight ten people one by one. No, he was not afraid of more people coming.

Gaden clenched his right hand slightly, and saw that the veins on his right arm were popping up, and the muscles were bulging to an extremely exaggerated degree.

He suddenly felt hot and dry all over.

"Ah——" the pirate leader yelled and punched the table in front of him.

Gaden's fist hit the corner of the table. The thick oak table looked like it was made of cheese, and the table top and legs were smashed into pieces.

Under the influence of the remaining force, the table, which had lost one of its legs, fell to the ground with a clang.

The pirate leader looked at the table in disbelief. Normally, his bones would have been broken.

In addition to the feeling of contact with hard objects in his palms, there was only a slight pain when he slapped the table, which was fleeting. Gaden raised his palm and put it in front of his eyes for observation. There was no injury or swelling, everything was normal.

After being slightly surprised, a desire surged in his heart: he wanted to kill, he wanted to commit violence, and he wanted to vent his power.

Noticing the changes in Gaden, Barnett said to himself, "Well, I should reduce the dosage a little. I didn't expect his body to be so sensitive."

Now in his eyes, the Pirate Crew leader can be said to have a ferocious appearance. His body shape suddenly changed from a short and lean man to a sturdy man, and his facial muscles were constantly distorted, as if he was suffering from a mad disease.

But he calmly stretched out a hand, his palm facing Gaden, who was about to go berserk, and muttered something.

As a confusing words came out of Barnett's mouth, the manic look on Gaden's face gradually faded and returned to a normal expression.

"Sorry, I didn't control the dose just now." Barnett shrugged, but there was no trace of guilt on his face.

"Master, the feeling just now was so amazing."

The pirate leader was still in a trance. He stared at his hands, unable to believe that what just happened was real.

"I feel stronger than ever. Is this an illusion? No, this is real."

The broken table that fell to the ground in front of him reminded him that what just happened was true.

Barnett smiled and patted his shoulder and said, "Your power hasn't dissipated yet, you can try again."

"That's it, Master Barnett, I believe in your ability to pay."

If all his pirates could take this pill, as long as they controlled the dosage as the wizard said, it would be easy to deal with Northwest Bay these trash fish Pirate Crew.

Although he was about to go crazy just now, the memory is that it was this self-proclaimed wizard who restored his normal consciousness and could be so calm in the face of such danger. Then this wizard would only be more powerful than himself now.

He felt that power was still continuously generated in his body, so he asked Barnett: "How long can this state last?"

"Different people will have different effects of the drug, but generally speaking, it is not a problem to persist for three to four hours."

"How much of this medicine can you provide us?"

"Before you unify the Pirate Crew body, 50 pills per week. After that, it depends on your performance, but you probably won't need it by then."

"No, no, no, Master, I should continue to use it."

Becoming the second Edward is just the beginning. Gaden sees greater possibilities from this magical pill.

This wizard has already said that he wants to provoke unrest and split Auldo Kingdom, so he may not be able to get a piece of the pie on land.

Barnett's smile suddenly disappeared, which made Gaden feel shuddered. He only heard the other party ask, "What do you mean, are you sure you want to cooperate with us?"

Gaden nodded repeatedly. "It's an honor to cooperate with you and Secret Art Society behind you. But why did you choose me?"

"It's not just you who was chosen by me, but also others. I will tell you when the time comes. As for why I chose you..."

Barnett showed a sneer on his face and said sullenly, "I have examined many candidates through different methods, and you are the least stupid one among them. You know how to be patient and know how to advance and retreat. There are really not many people like you in this land in the northwest."

After hearing these words, Gaden, who is known for his conceited brains, really didn't know whether to cry or laugh. "Did what I said today make you come to such a conclusion?"

Barnett shook his head and said, "It's not just one thing today, I've been observing you for a long time."

A cold sweat broke out on the back of the pirate leader. "How long has this wizard been lurking around me? I didn't notice any signs."

Barnett saw his fear and was very satisfied. This was the effect he wanted.

Unlike Maltz Kent, a lord who is nominally restricted by the king and superior lords, pirates are inherently antagonistic to the Auldo Kingdom. Instigating Gaden to fight against the kingdom does not require as much effort as dealing with Maltz Kent.

Moreover, this pirate leader is quite fond of Barnett. As he just said, he is "the least stupid one". It would be bad if he uses other idiots to cause trouble for himself. Secret Art Society is not in a hurry to be exposed to the world.

For the person he likes, Barnett is happy to use a relatively "peaceful" method to attract the other person to join him, just like what he is doing now. He does not use some means like he did with Maltz Kent, but talks about cooperation with Gaden in a friendly manner.

Well... except for the unlucky guy nicknamed "Swordfish".

It's just that the strength in Gaden's hands is a bit shabby, but that's okay. The weaker the initial strength of Gaden, the greater the dependence on him.

Barnett decided to add fuel to the fire of "Loach": "Gaden Leader, do you want to know where Northwest Bay's original number one pirate, Edward, went?"

"Edward Master? Where has he gone?"

Gaden is indeed a bit strange. The big pirate who originally ordered Northwest Bay has disappeared with his own fleet at the beginning of this year, and this is also the source of a series of chaos in this region.

It was precisely because of his disappearance that the unruly pirates began to break the rules. One of the sharks even killed the old lord Arda. The new lord Paul Greiman was determined to take revenge. After destroying the sharks, he also established a navy and vowed to destroy all pirates.

Barnett said with a smile, "To tell you the truth, Edward is already one of ours, and he now plays an important role in another place."

The pirate leader's eyes widened. "Even Lord Edward... also... cooperated with you?"

Barnett nodded and said, "Yes, and because of us, he is stronger than before."

Gaden was silent, lowering his head and not knowing what he was thinking about. After a long time, he suddenly raised his head and looked at Barnett and said, "Master Magician, let's talk about the specific details of cooperation."
