Agreed

Before all the Night Pirates, countless gazes watched silently.

As the two sides drew closer, Enel became tense again, mainly because the aura of this group of Blue Sea People was extremely powerful. Looking at them, the closer they got, the closer it felt to hell.

However, he had already arrived, and he had no other way out. The journey was short, and the time was actually not long, but in Enel's heart, it felt extremely long and even somewhat agonizing.

Enel slowly walked up to Teach. He could tell that Teach was the leader of this group of Blue Sea People, given that he was standing in the center.

The other crew members glanced at Enel, who was approaching for some unknown reason, and then at Captain Teach. Since Teach didn't say anything, they didn't need to pay any attention and just watched quietly.

"Kid, what's up?" Wallace crossed his arms and looked at Enel, who had walked up to them. It was clear that the kid was struggling internally, seemingly influenced by them.

Wallace's words rang in Enel's ears, snapping him back to Enel. He broke out in a cold sweat; had he been lost in thought? For some reason, as he walked, he found himself deep in contemplation.

The main reason was the immense pressure from the Night Pirates; the closer he got, the more intense the pressure became.

Especially since they had just finished a fierce battle, he exuded an invisible killing intent, and the gruesome state of the corpses was clearly visible.

This was also the pressure Enel himself was putting on himself. He felt like he was going crazy, and the previous thought involuntarily rose in his mind again: Why would these Blue Sea People from Blue Sea People agree? What qualifications did he have to make them agree?

Teach and the others remained silent, quietly observing Enel's behavior, wanting to see what Enel intended to do.

Enel gritted his teeth, a determined glint in his eyes. He had made up his mind not to remain so weak any longer, and that was why he had come, to take a gamble.

Faced with Wallace's question, Enel immediately knelt on the ground. "Please let me join you. I want to become stronger," Enel shouted, his head bowed.

This is his chance, and he must seize it. "Just let me on the ship, I'll do anything, please give me a chance."

Enel wanted to board the ship of these Blue Sea pirates, believing he could learn a great deal from them.

These Blue Sea People definitely know how to become stronger and how to train; only in this way can they become even more powerful.

Enel's attitude was very sincere.

The air seemed to suddenly become heavy, not because anyone was angry, but because they were surprised that the young man, whose body was wrapped in bandages, had come to join them.

They had no say in this matter; only Captain Teach could make the decision.

However, this guy is the first to dare to come up to the entire crew and say he wants to join their Night Pirates; he's incredibly brave.

This alone puts him ahead of many others, and some can sense that he is destined for greatness. With such courage, how could he possibly be ordinary?

Teach chuckled at this and gave Enel a deep look. Enel didn't dare look at Teach; he felt as if he were being seen through, a feeling that was extremely uncomfortable.

Looking at Enel, Teach seemed to recall his past self, the scene of joining the Whitebeard Pirates seven years ago, also alone. However, although he was nervous then, he was much more confident, and had a better understanding of Whitebeard.

Compared to him, Enel undoubtedly had to bear greater pressure, relying solely on his own beliefs.

This alone is enough to satisfy Teach. Moreover, Enel himself is quite talented and possesses a strong combat awareness, able to analyze Luffy's weaknesses in a short battle.

Enel wasn't some arrogant or conceited guy. Some things, at this level, Teach could see at a glance. The eyes are the windows to the soul, and that's no exaggeration.

Besides, Teach already had this idea in mind; what reason did he have to refuse such a future officer on the ship?

He hadn't expected Enel to come to him on his own. This was perfect; it saved him the time of searching for him and saved him the trouble of figuring out how to get him to join. Forcing him was definitely not the way to go.

"I agree, but before that, you have to pass Wallace's test. Only then can you join the Night Pirates as an apprentice pirate. To become a full-fledged pirate, you must have great strength!" Teach nodded and said slowly, "Of course, this is just an opportunity. If you fail the test, you won't be able to join our Night Pirates. We don't need weaklings on our ship."

As he spoke, Teach turned his head and glanced at Wallace. Wallace understood what Teach meant and nodded.

He was already in charge of this area, and at the same time, he was aware of Teach's unusual ideas.

Not only him, but many others realized that the Night Pirates had a principle for recruiting members: strength. As long as you were strong, you could become a formal member of the Night Pirates.

If you lack the strength, you may still have the opportunity to join the Night Pirates. It all comes down to potential; age and strength are both important criteria for evaluation.

There's no real assessment involved; at most, you'll fight a Night Pirates to get a general idea of their strength.

Moreover, whether or not to join is just a matter of Teach's word; he can simply delegate the decision to his subordinates and won't care too much about it.

However, since their captain had said so much and was going to conduct some kind of special assessment, he must have seen potential in this person.

The assessment is meaningless; this person will definitely be able to join them. Moreover, those who are chosen by Teach are basically strong individuals at the executive level on the ship, which means this guy has the potential to become an executive.

Even so, the assessment is still very important, and it also allows them to see this person's performance. As it stands now, he is quite bold. In other aspects, we can observe him carefully during the assessment.

Meanwhile, some crew members were already rubbing their hands together, excitedly watching Enel, which made Enel shudder involuntarily, feeling a chill run down his spine.

What could be more interesting than defeating the officers on the future ship?

Monks like Bonnies Clemons are clearly future executives. Clemons, who is already fifteen years old, has his own talent, hard work, and the powerful ability of the Muscle Fruit. Apart from executives, there are not many people who can match him.

Becoming a cadre is just around the corner.

The fifteen-year-old cadre couldn't believe it, but there were also Pito and Kaguya who were younger than him, and those two were monsters, needless to say.

Needless to say, Pito had been adventuring on the high seas with his captain since he was young, and even spent two years on the legendary ship.

Kaguya is even more of a monster; she has never lost a battle, and she might even be able to turn the tables on an enemy stronger than herself.

Although he is only thirteen years old, the Bone-Bone Fruit, like the Muscle Fruit, can enhance and amplify one's physique. Whether it is strengthening muscles or bones, it will also affect other parts of the body. After all, the power of Devil Fruit is to transform a person into a superhuman.

Both of these abilities are full-body Paramecia, not localized superpowers.

The enhanced physique completely compensates for the physical weaknesses brought about by age, and even makes one stronger.

They all possess the defensive capabilities of steel, the hard bones of Kaguya, and the hardened muscles of Clemons.

Now, those crew members who defeated Clemons are constantly boasting that they defeated Clemons. Those who can become officers must be big shots. This is something they can brag about when they get old.

Because of this, others had the same idea, which increased the challenges Bonnies faced, as they wanted to teach Bonnies a lesson before he grew up.

Even so, Bonnies is not someone to be trifled with. His ability to Cut Fruit gives him a sharp attack, and coupled with his body as hard as steel, he is inherently invincible at this level.

Only those powerful elite members who have mastered Armament Haki or Observation Haki can defeat him.

However, the constant battles also spurred Bonnies's growth. As his combat abilities increased, defeating Bonnies became increasingly difficult, and it was simply impossible to do so in a short period of time.

This kind of mentality permeated the ship: to defeat as many promising crew members as possible before they grow up, so that they could boast about it later when the crew surpassed them.

Immediately, many members set their sights on Enel. Compared to Bonnies and Clemons, Enel was undoubtedly much easier to deal with, after all, his steel-like defense was like a threshold, weeding out a large number of people.

As for Enel now, apart from a few exceptions, those kids from the Dark Night Band, despite a year of special training and baptism, still have age and physical limitations. Not everyone can be as unshackled as Pito, nor can everyone have the ability to amplify their physique like Clemons and Kaguya.

Even Bonnies is currently limited by his physical condition, resulting in slow progress. This is his period of accumulation; once the opportunity arises, he will unleash his full potential.

"Really!" Enel was pleasantly surprised. He hadn't expected the leader to agree. Just being in his presence made him feel immense pressure.

This invisible pressure, this mental pressure—that's the aura of a strong person. Some things don't even need to be shown. Like the Whitebeard, just sitting there, some weaker people wouldn't dare to lay a hand on him.

This is the fear of life's instinct. When the gap in strength reaches a certain level, the level of life has already changed, even though they are still at the level of mortals.

After all, the most significant characteristic of a transformation in the level of life is the increase in lifespan, not just by a few decades, but by hundreds or even thousands of years.

Like the Grim Reaper, who has transcended the physical body, or the Sage in Naruto, or rather, the Six Paths.

Like Crocodile, Teach couldn't understand his thinking. He went to assassinate Whitebeard alone, but in the end, he angered Whitebeard, lost an arm, and had all his crew members destroyed before escaping back to the first half of the Grand Line.

In the end, he even tried to kill Whitebeard using the power of the Ancient Weapon.

What makes a weapon a weapon is primarily the person wielding it.

While the power to destroy an island with a single shot is awe-inspiring, many people can do it. Many of the strong in the New World can do it; the only difference is the process, but the final result is the same.

Moreover, everyone knows that Pluton is a huge warship. Since it is a warship, it has certain limitations and is easy to deal with. The cannonballs can be dodged, and the warship needs someone to operate it. As long as the person operating the ship is taken care of, there will be no problem.

There are many who can defeat him; once he is defeated, the ownership of Pluton will naturally change.

Now, Crocodile has disappeared without a trace. No one knows where he is or what he is doing. After the Great Pirate Era began, he swept into the New World with unstoppable momentum, heading straight for the title of the World's Strongest. However, he was wiped out, lost an arm, and then disappeared without a trace.

That matter attracted a lot of attention; after all, there are so many pirates in this new era, and he is one of the more outstanding ones.

Just like Teach and his crew, the Night Pirates are already a dominant pirate crew. Moria's Moonlight Pirates are currently lying low in the New World, but they have already demonstrated their formidable strength and are one of the closest pirate crews to becoming a dominant force in the New World.

Hawk Eyes Jora Mihawk is challenging powerful swordsmen and even other formidable opponents around the world.

Doflamingo, in particular, controlled the entire Underworld of the North Blue.

There's also Douglas Bullet. Although he was already a renowned monster in the previous era, he was still very young and had left the Roger Pirates to establish his own force, making him a pirate of the new era.

Everyone knows that the Brotherhood, a force that has been rapidly expanding in the New World in recent years, is led by Douglas Bullet, the "Heir of the Devil," one of the world's top warriors.

Rather than being partners, they are more of a collection of people who admire Bullet's power, value Bullet future, and need Bullet influence.

And that's how the Brotherhood came into being.

This is a mutually beneficial arrangement for both Bullet and the members of the Brotherhood.

Bullet's philosophy is well-known: he believes in the power of being strong alone. He doesn't need companions; he wants to become the World's Strongest through his own strength.

However, this does not mean he does not need subordinates. He is not stupid. The establishment of this organization is very convenient for him. He does not have to do anything. Whatever he needs or wants to do, the members of the Brotherhood will prepare it for him with intelligence and supplies.
