The Black Pearl.

Aside from the Heart Pirates captain, whose head was worth thirty million Berries, all other pirates were knocked out by Magnus and thrown into the sea to feed the fish.

If they woke up in time, they were lucky.

If they died, it was their misfortune.

After all, Magnus wasn't a villain who resorted to violence at the drop of a hat. If others don't offend me, I won't offend them. Didn't they still have a chance to live?

"That'll be two hundred thousand Berries in total!"

"What? You damn goat, why don't you just rob me?"

Muttering curses, Magnus still paid Rocks' medical expenses readily, as they were old acquaintances.

Now, on the Black Pearl, besides Magnus and his crew, there were Newgate and his group of companions, as well as a doctor Magnus found in town.

A doctor who looked like a goat and was less than half his height.

Magnus remembered encountering a similarly looking doctor in the future with the Straw Hat crew, but this one was likely a relative or descendant of the goat before him.

"How about it? Want to join my crew? I'm in need of a doctor right now."

"No thanks."

The goat doctor refused without hesitation.

"I don't want Kureha to skin me alive. That woman said there can only be one doctor on the White Wolf Pirates."

"Hmph, when I said we were disbanding, that old hag was the first one to run."

Magnus pouted, but his eyes showed a hint of nostalgia.

"After all, we're all getting old."

"What about you?"

The goat doctor tilted his head, looking at Magnus.

"You're not much younger than Kureha, are you? Even if you can still maintain your combat strength now, how many more years can you last?"

"Haha, the time I can last might be longer than you think."

Magnus pointed to his face.

"Looking at me now, do you still think I'm a seventy-year-old man?"

"."

The goat doctor examined Magnus carefully, then suddenly produced a syringe.

"Hey, hey, what are you doing?"

"Drawing blood!"

The goat doctor's eyes showed intense curiosity.

"The way you look now is not at all what a person your age should be. If I remember correctly, you look younger now than you did fifteen years ago!"

"As far as I know, you're just a normal human, and Devil Fruits don't increase lifespan. So, I want to know what exactly happened to you."

"If we can uncover the secret of your body, it might significantly extend the lifespan of all humanity!"

The goat doctor said without reservation.

"So, looking like that, it's a miracle you haven't been beaten to death. It means the pirates are too kind."

"Because if I were beaten to death, no one would be there to heal them,"

the goat doctor said earnestly.

"Pfft, hahaha, I almost forgot, you're the genius who could annoy Kureha enough to urge me to leave Sphinx quickly."

Fifteen years ago, when Magnus first came, the goat before him was a black-hearted doctor who practiced medicine through self-study. Fifteen years later, the title of black-hearted doctor had become well-known on the island, and many injured pirates sought treatment from him.

"Are you back to reclaim Sphinx this time?"

"What, you don't like it?"

"Even if you do a worse job, it'll be much better than what those scoundrels did."

The goat doctor closed his medicine box.

"Let's go. Don't leave little Stussy alone at the clinic. This island is about to get chaotic."

Little Stussy?

The name the goat doctor mentioned sounded familiar, but the system didn't react, so Magnus didn't think too much about it. After seventy years, it was impossible for him to remember every single person's name from the original plot.

Without dwelling on it, Magnus looked at Newgate and the others sitting on the deck.

"What do you say? Have you made up your mind?"

Magnus's invitation to Newgate was sincere. Although Newgate's strength was still very weak, limited by his age, he was even weaker than Rocks a year ago.

However, he was confident that within a year, he could help Newgate grow to a level comparable to Rocks, as Newgate's talent was no less than Rocks'.

Crew members who can skillfully use Haki are not weak no matter where they are placed, and Magnus believed that as time went on, both Rocks and Newgate would become stronger.

They had endured so many years, and it would only take a few more years to train Rocks and Newgate to at least the level of a Great Pirate.

This was nothing in Magnus's eyes.

"I'll think about it."

In his heart, Newgate really wanted to accept Magnus's offer because this was the White Wolf Pirates, a crew he had always dreamed of joining since he was young.

But seeing his injured companions beside him, Newgate fell silent.

He couldn't abandon his companions and leave alone.

"If you're worried about your companions, then open your eyes wide and watch."

Magnus smiled and didn't mind Newgate's refusal.

"Fifteen years ago, I changed the Sphinx. Limited by my strength at the time, I had to compromise with some pirates."

"But it's different now."

"From today on, no one can make me compromise."

Magnus stood up, the sea breeze rustling his shirt. In Newgate's eyes, although Magnus wasn't tall, he exuded an aura that made it impossible to look away.

One pirate flag!

Two pirate flags!

Three pirate flags!

Newgate saw that the pirate ships around the Black Pearl were gradually clearing out. A large group of pirates, as if afraid of being caught in the crossfire, drove their ships away, but they didn't want to miss the upcoming conflict, so they anchored not far away.

Then, three pirate ships, twice the size of the Black Pearl, sailed in from afar and appeared at the port where the Black Pearl was located.

"Undead Pirates!"

"Black Merchant Pirates!"

"Gargantua Pirates!"

The pirates hiding in the port watching the excitement couldn't help but swallow their saliva as they saw the three approaching pirate crews, their eyes shining with excitement.

"Cap, Captain, we're this close, won't we get caught in the crossfire?"

"Shut up!"

The mohawk pirate captain shouted excitedly, "This is a conflict between the White Wolf Pirates and three Great Pirate crews. Opportunities to watch such events are rare. If a fight breaks out, even dying would be worth the ticket price!"

In a corner.

A girl with short blonde hair wearing a white sun hat sneaked out, her face showing dissatisfaction.

"Hmph, if Uncle Goat doesn't take me out, I'll come out myself. That's the White Wolf Pirates. If I can catch the eye of the White Wolf Pirates' captain, I'll be able to make a fortune easily in the future and won't have to work hard bandaging and treating people."

What's wrong with an old man?

Old men are good!

When old man White Wolf Magnus dies, she can inherit White Wolf Magnus's fortune, and she'll have more than enough money to live on for a lifetime!

The girl thought naively.
