The Birth of "He's a Pirate"

I never expected that such a capability existed; this must be the first time it has appeared on the high seas.

The Ghost Cry Tree —this strange life form—no wonder List possessed such powerful spiritual strength.

According to the story, the Ghost Cry Tree eventually withers and dies on its own. As time goes by and the tree grows, its spiritual howls become stronger and stronger, and the area affected becomes larger and larger. Eventually, it withers and eventually collapses and dies because it cannot withstand its own spiritual power.

This is why List's body was weakened; if List physical strength wasn't improved, his body would eventually become weaker and weaker, eventually collapsing.

Mental-type Devil Fruit are generally very powerful and extremely rare, such as Big Mom's Soul-Soul Fruit, the Spirit-Spirit Fruit that will appear in the future, and the Revive-Revive Fruit that can bring people back to life.

Like Akane Rex, Great Pirate who was a ruler of the New World and Trickster of the Weird Pirates, who was Paramecia Mind-Mind Devil Fruit User.

The Mind-Mind Fruit alone is enough to secure Akane Rex's position as the master of Trickster. Without Mind-Mind Fruit, Akane Rex's strength would only be equivalent to that of an elite Vice Admiral, because his physical talent is not good and his physique is not strong, but he does have top-level Observation Haki.

The Mind-Mind Fruit is unpredictable and difficult to defend against. As an extension of mental power, more importantly, it has the ability to control minds. It is precisely because of this that very few people would dare to provoke the Trickster of the Weird Pirates.

As top-tier Paramecia- type Devil Fruit of the same kind, the Trickster has a greater advantage in developing the Mind-Mind Fruit, making it a strong counter to Big Mom's Soul-Soul Fruit. Big Mom's abilities are completely ineffective against Akane Rixter.

Big Mom, due to her abilities, also has a strong resistance to the Trickster's abilities, coupled with her monstrous physique.

This is why, although the Weird Pirates and the Big Mom Pirates don't have major conflicts, their relationship is extremely hostile.

Not only do the two sides have abilities that restrain each other, but they also pose a huge threat to each other.

Another thing is that Akane Rixter is a Three-Eyed Tribe, a rare Three-Eyed Tribe in the world. It's unknown whether the population of this race has even exceeded one hundred.

Within the Weird Pirates also includes two Three-Eyed Tribe, who are also the Trickster's right and left hands.

It's clear that Big Mom has her eye on the Three-Eyed Tribe's bloodline. That's why, even though their territories are far apart, Big Mom has repeatedly attacked the Weird Pirates. After their marriage proposal was rejected, she wanted to capture Three-Eyed Tribe have a child with them.

Or perhaps they could learn from them where the Three-Eyed Tribe lives in seclusion and find other Three-Eyed Tribe. However, no matter what, the captain of the Weird Pirates, Akane Rixter, would never agree to this, and thus the conflict between the two sides arose.

It is said that the third eye of the Three-Eyed Tribe contains magical power, and this is true. This third eye can see the trajectory of moving objects, giving the Three-Eyed Tribe extraordinary combat abilities. Although Akane Rixter's physical strength is far inferior to that of other overlords, he is by no means weak in combat.

His main fighting style does not rely on physical skills, but on the power of the Mind-Mind Fruit, which always eliminates enemies without them even realizing it.

More importantly, the mysterious power of divination and prophecy. The other two Three-Eyed Tribe did not Awakening, but Akane Rixter is said to possess this magical power. Unlike Observation Haki, which allows one to foresee short-term future events, he can see events that will occur within a certain timeframe in the future.

Combined with the power of the Mind-Mind Fruit, it can produce even more terrifying effects.

List's potential is great and very strong, especially in dealing with mental damage. However, before that, his body needs to be restored. The initial recovery will take a long time, but once his body is balanced, he will no longer be suppressed by his abilities.

"Now that you've joined our pirate crew, as the ship's musician, why don't you take a look at the sheet music for this piece? I wrote it, but it needs some work out." Teach said with a smile, taking out his manuscript under List's astonished gaze.

"Yes, the captain's score is very good, of high quality, but further refinement requires a top-notch musician." Xiouyapufu explained beforehand, fearing that List might not think highly of Teach's score, just like he had before.

After listening to Xiouyapufu's words, List became somewhat curious. He could sense that Xiouyapufu had a good understanding of music, judging from his demeanor, as well as some intuition and resonance.

So List picked up Teach's manuscript and began to read it.

The first thing to look at is Teach's explanation of what he wanted to say about the song he wrote, and what his ideas were. It was undoubtedly about pirates.

Teach had already written down the melody for the entire piece; what List needed to perfect was the combination of various instruments to make the overall effect even more magnificent.

It's impossible for Teach to remember every detail of the entire piece of music; being able to remember all the melodies is already quite an achievement. He also has many classic melodies in his mind. Teach doesn't care if he gets the title of a world-class composer, and if he does, he won't mind.

The sea is passionate and unrestrained, and pirates are free.

Pirate ships sail on the high seas.

A sudden gust of wind swept in, the crashing waves creating a deafening roar. The hoarse, furious roar was as primal and wild as the wilderness, devoid of any gentleness, equally undisguised, savage, stirring an inexplicable impulse within me. Every organ in my body tensed instantly, my hair stood on end, and my blood surged. Closing my eyes, I saw only a colossal whirlpool in an endless ocean, swallowing everything—time, space, the splashing waves—whoosh, I felt completely soaked, utterly exhilarated. Passion, desire, the extension of the senses—this was, in essence, that feeling.

The pirate ship sailed faster and longer on the sea. Pain and joy, reality and fantasy, indifference and passion, escape and pursuit, all intertwined, swirled, tumbled, surged, condensed, erupted, and sublimated in this hurried pace!

This was undoubtedly a masterpiece for List, with the entire melody lasting more than ten minutes, Xiouyapufu had only performed a section of it before.

This is all the melodies from Pirates of the Caribbean. Teach combined them together, then divided them into several parts, creating this complete song, "He's a Pirate."

After reading through the central idea of Teach's entire piece and the content to be expressed in each stage, List was somewhat excited, his heart surging with emotion, and he also understood what Teach meant by letting him perfect it.

It requires a variety of musical instruments, but Teach only wrote out how to play three or four of them, and listed five or six other instruments that should be used, without explaining how to play them.

In addition, there are other instruments that he needs to provide.

List's eyes burned with passion, his heart filled with a long-lost passion for music and composition, yet he still managed to calm himself down.

Looking at Teach, List said, "Captain, it may take some time. I need to ask my grandfather and my teacher for help. This is destined to be a big project."

"Hmm?" Hearing List say that, it's clear that his background is quite extraordinary. You can tell at a glance that he comes from a musical family, and they are all top-notch musicians.

"No problem, we have plenty of time." Teach smiled. "Let's go check it out together."

Then, Teach turned to Baccarat and said, "Notify the others on the ship to take our band back and make proper arrangements. As for the instruments, List can buy them for them; we don't know much about these instruments."

"Yes, Captain." Baccarat nodded, took out Den Den Mushi from her pocket, and began to notify her companions.

Soon, a group of sailors who were wandering around Venus received the news and rushed over. They were somewhat surprised to see the children, but said nothing. Together with Baccarat, they took the children away.

Meanwhile, Teach and his companions followed List to the core area of Venus, where they learned about List's family background.

Just as he had guessed, List came from a prestigious family; his grandfather was a top musician, his father was a renowned singer, and his teacher was also a top musician.

However, as his "illness" worsened, mastering the musical instrument became increasingly difficult. In despair, List left a letter and departed from his home.

List was proud and displayed amazing musical talent from a young age, even beginning to create his own music, which was truly dazzling. However, as his health declined, his performance quality began to decrease, and he even struggled to perform.

His music used to be full of power and rhythm, but now it has shifted to a gentler style.

His family thought he had left Venus, but in fact he never left; he stayed in a small corner of Venus.

Now, he is going back to a manor in the central area of Venus, the Franz Music Family's manor. It can be seen that the List family is also very wealthy, as several musical instrument shops in Venus are owned by the Franz family.

Furthermore, the Franz family, as a musical family, was also a noble family, and was granted noble titles by many countries.

"Young Master List, is that you?" The two guards standing at the door recognized List at a glance when he arrived, after all List, it had only been a few years since List left.

The manor's butler arrived shortly after receiving the news.

His expression was somewhat excited, and as he looked at Teach and the others behind List, he couldn't help but feel a little nervous.

"They are my friends. Please take me to see my grandfather first," List said with a gentle smile.

It felt like only a few years had passed, and while their young master was still the same young master, his demeanor had changed drastically. Before, he was dashing and sharp, but now he was somewhat gentle.

A flicker of hesitation crossed his eyes. He bowed to List and said, "I'm very sorry, but please allow me to inform Count Franz first." He couldn't make the decision himself, because he recognized Teach as a very dangerous person and had to consult his master first.

"Yes, go ahead." List nodded.

After a while, an elderly man dressed in fine clothes walked over, followed by the butler. The old man was dressed in fine clothes and had a special temperament and demeanor that he had cultivated over decades.

"List, you're finally back." Looking at his grandson, List's grandfather was visibly excited.

"Yes, I'm back. There's a solution to my health problem, but I won't be staying long. I'm back this time to ask for your help, Grandpa." List smiled gently.

Count Franz was somewhat struck by the extent of his grandson's change; he had become much more reserved, whereas before the accident, he had been extremely flamboyant.

"What is it? I will do my best." Upon hearing that his grandson's health might improve, Count Franz trembled slightly. He paid little attention to Teach and the others, but two of them, who appeared to be of noble birth, possessed an extraordinary air.

As for Teach, who was in charge, he naturally recognized Teach, but he was not afraid. As the world's top musician, there were few people who could catch his eye. Among the audience of his performances, who was not a nobleman or a king?

"This piece is undoubtedly a masterpiece, composed by the captain, but it needs improvement. It's a huge project, so I'd like to ask you, Grandpa, for your help." As he spoke, List turned and glanced at Teach.

These words reveal List's current identity: he has joined the Night Pirates and become a pirate.

Count Franz glanced at Teach, not believing for a second that a pirate could compose music. He had seen footage of Teach in battle, but to say he could compose music was utter nonsense.

However, he was well aware of his grandson's abilities and knew he wouldn't lie. With a hint of doubt and curiosity about the score, he took the score from List's hand, glanced at it briefly, and was quickly captivated.

"Come in, this place isn't suitable." With that, he turned and walked into the interior of the manor.

In the Duke of Franz's residence, there is a large concert hall with a wide variety of musical instruments.

Teach and the others stood there waiting, watching List and Count Franz begin to refine the entire piece.

The complete melody is already in place; the most important thing is the content and ideas that Teach wants to express in each section, and the perfection of the instruments is undoubtedly based on this.

Such a project would have been difficult to accomplish even with Count Franz. Soon, several top music masters were invited, along with a whole symphony orchestra.

Teach's score piqued their interest, and it was a challenge for them as well—a new style of music. They never imagined that music could be done this way.

They quickly immersed themselves in the project. With so many top musicians involved, they were filled with creative passion. The symphony orchestra performed all night long, and after each performance, there would be heated discussions about what the piece was missing and where it needed improvement.
