Linlin: This Old Lady Has Taken a Fancy to Him

"Formal crew member?!!"

Shiki the Golden Lion's expression faltered in surprise, somewhat taken aback by Rocks' decision.

After a brief moment of surprise, his expression quickly returned to normal, and he laughed instead, "Not bad, such a powerful brat is indeed qualified to become a formal crew member on Rocks' ship!!"

"Everyone has seen his strength!"

Among the formal crew members, there probably aren't many who could defeat that brat.

Whitebeard walked quickly to Rocks and said with an extremely solemn expression, "Captain Rocks, can Ares join my division?!"

If such a brat joined his division and he taught him carefully, he would be a powerful asset.

He really hoped Ares could join his division.

Before Rocks could answer Whitebeard's question, an angry voice echoed throughout the area.

"Damn it!!!"

"Ares should join my, Shiki the Golden Lion's, division!!!"

In his eagerness, Shiki the Golden Lion used the power of the Float-Float Fruit and appeared next to Whitebeard in a flash.

He looked at Rocks and said quickly, "Captain, I really like that kid Ares, let him join my division!!"

If that kid were snatched away by Whitebeard, wouldn't it make Whitebeard's team even stronger?

He absolutely couldn't allow that to happen.

He had his eye on Ares first!!

He absolutely couldn't let Whitebeard snatch him away!

Hearing Shiki the Golden Lion trying to snatch him away, Whitebeard's face immediately darkened, and he glared at Shiki the Golden Lion threateningly, "Yellow-haired lion, do you want me to sink you to the bottom of the sea?!"

"White-haired beard, do you believe I'll cut off your beard?!" Shiki the Golden Lion refused to be outdone, stretching his neck and directly retorted.

The two looked at each other at the same time, and the smell of gunpowder instantly filled the air.

Their eyes widened, and their heads began to slowly approach each other, tit-for-tat, not giving an inch!

"Ares is mine!!"

"I saw him first!"

"He must join my division!!"

"Ares will definitely choose to join my division!!!"

"..."

As their faces got closer and closer, they launched a fierce verbal attack!

At this moment.

Behind the two of them, a woman suddenly appeared with a devilish figure, a huge body with curves in all the right places.

Linlin, without any reservation in front of everyone present, said directly, "That guy Ares..."

"I've got my eye on him!!!"

"You two, don't try to snatch him from me!!"

As if announcing that Ares was hers from now on!

Her words instantly made Whitebeard and Shiki the Golden Lion turn their heads at the same time and look up slightly at Charlotte Linlin.

They said in unison, "No way!!!"

"Ares is mine!!"

The tacit agreement between Whitebeard and Newgate made them turn their heads to look at each other again, sparks flying in their eyes.

The other members of the Rocks Pirates were also watching the show as if it were a good play, looking at the captain-level figures.

Their faces and eyes were filled with envy.

The captains clearly had their eyes on Ares and wanted to cultivate him as a confidant.

This was an opportunity they couldn't ask for.

Following captain-level figures was often safer, and the spoils of war and the treatment they enjoyed were also higher!

Just as the few people were arguing and snatching people.

Suddenly, a cry of surprise rang out, coming from the vice-captain - John!

"He... this kid is okay?!"

This cry of surprise instantly attracted everyone's attention.

Hundreds of meters away, Ares was standing in front of Captain John, and more importantly, he didn't seem to have suffered too much damage.

Only a little blood was flowing from the corner of his mouth.

"Hiss..."

Streusen couldn't help but gasp, saying in extreme shock, "This guy... he's okay after taking Captain Rocks' attack!?"

Directly sent flying hundreds of meters, and now he's acting like nothing happened.

It greatly shocked him. If he were to be hit squarely by Captain Rocks' punch, he would probably lose his ability to fight immediately.

He couldn't help but comment, "He's a freakin' monster!!"

"Oh?! He's alright?!" Ochoku also looked at Ares, who was walking with Captain John, with extreme surprise. Taking a punch from Kaido and a punch from Captain Rocks were completely different concepts.

Although he knew Captain Rocks hadn't used his full strength, that kind of punch wasn't something that could be taken casually.

Silver Axe also found it quite astonishing, saying, "It seems we underestimated this kid..."

"What... exactly is going on with his body?!"

"There absolutely shouldn't be another monster like Linlin in this world!!"

Linlin's "Steel Balloon"-like skin couldn't be broken without extremely powerful Armament Haki.

Moreover, Linlin's body allows her to quickly recover by eating cake!

It can be described as extremely "perverted"!!

This kid's body... couldn't be as "perverted" as Linlin's, could it?!

Thinking of this possibility, Streusen couldn't help but tremble, and even a very bold idea arose in his mind.

That was to have Ares and Linlin complete their union, giving birth to powerful offspring.

One?!

Two?!

A large group?!

Streusen's mind even began to imagine Ares and Linlin joining hands after they grew up.

Leading a large group of powerful and fierce "children," they would surely dominate this world.

His breathing became rapid, and his entire face was filled with unprecedented excitement.

Such a beautiful future--it's just too great!!

At this moment.

Ares followed John blankly, his mind constantly recalling and pondering Rocks' punch.

He also had some questions in his mind: "His body clearly doesn't look as strong as mine, so why was he able to easily overpower me in strength?!"

"The technique of delivering that punch..."

His mind constantly began to recall the scene just now.

As if rewinding a tape.

He just watched and studied it back and forth!

While walking, Ares even began to constantly gesture and imitate, constantly mimicking the punch Rocks had just thrown at him.

The momentum grew larger and larger, and the whistling wind began to become piercing.

The airflow in the air was also constantly stirred by Ares' fist!

Captain John on the side looked shocked and couldn't help but ask, "Ares, are you trying to learn from Captain Rocks?!!"

What a strong learning ability!!

What kind of monster is this guy?!

What exactly has this guy experienced to grow up like this?!
