Just as Leo had said, he had already given them an opportunity yesterday.
Since they had not left, it meant each of them had their own motives.
That made things easier.
Everyone had their own goals. Leo wanted to win their hearts, while they wanted Leo's brains. In that case, wasn't it only natural for them, as prisoners, to obey Leo's orders?
Leo had arranged them into a collective-responsibility system not only to make those who wanted to escape hesitate, and those who did not want to escape keep a close eye on their own group, but also to break them apart and mold them into a single whole.
More importantly, it would break up their original organization and free the Revolutionary Army members from being held back in their training and ideological development by the pirates.
Leo had many considerations in mind, and they could not be explained with just one or two points.
Still, Leo had been right about one thing: he had already given them a chance last night. He had neither assigned guards nor had Revolutionary Army members watch them, yet none of them had left. Clearly, both sides had reached an unspoken understanding.
The pirates exchanged glances and gave each other awkward smiles. Now that their little schemes had been exposed, they felt extremely embarrassed even around their former friends.
But once they began being reassigned, that awkwardness disappeared.
When they had first been captured, they had already been registered by number: which ship they came from, their position, their name, height, blood type, which sea they came from, and finally assigned a number. Now they only had to call out the numbers.
Naturally, Leo could not handle these matters himself, but he had a good eye for people and found Nico Robin.
