Pirate: I Can Repel Everything

"Terrifying. Absolutely terrifying." Luo Shi, one of the fighters, shook his head as though he had seen a ghost.

"Do you know what a Shichibukai is? One of the most powerful figures on the seas. Someone invincible."

"And now one's been replaced? Who the hell is this Chris? He's way too incredible!"

Murray was the ship's doctor. She stroked her delicate chin and studied the photograph in the newspaper. The man wore black from head to toe, giving him an air of mystery.

"Handsome. He's so handsome!"

"Chris is a lovely name, too."

"Young, handsome, and a Shichibukai. How many women is he going to drive wild?"

Mani, one of the fighters, skimmed the newspaper and blurted out, "So that's what happened. Crocodile was defeated."

"Incredible. Chris actually took down a Shichibukai? He must be insanely strong."

"No wonder the Captain said a new era had arrived. He was right!"

Eddy nodded in agreement. "We're Pirates of the new era, and he's the one who ushered it in."

"So it makes perfect sense that the Captain wants to serve under Chris. There's nothing strange about it."

"He opened the curtain on a new age and sounded its first call. A man like that is worth following, hahaha..."

Just then, loud laughter rang out from the entrance, carrying through the entire bar. Everyone heard it clearly.

"Captain, everyone was talking about us on the way here."

"Becoming a Shichibukai really was the smartest move. Wehahahaha..."

Everyone froze.

Who was that? Why was he so loud?

Every person in the bar paused and turned toward the entrance to see who was speaking.

Then another voice came from outside. Bartolomeo laughed and said, "Of course! We're a Shichibukai crew!"

"Men look up to us, women fall for us. That's how awesome we are!
