"Why? If you only want to join us to repay a debt of gratitude, I don't think Luo Chen would agree. Young man, state your reasons, otherwise even if he approves of your joining, I won't recognize you."
Catherine glanced at him, then asked.
"Of course, if you just let anyone join for such a reason, your pirate ship will be unstable and unreliable!"
George stood up, straightened his appearance, and began to speak confidently.
"Hmm... You know us?! Since you know we're pirates, why did you join us? Aren't you afraid of being wanted by the Navy?"
Upon hearing George mention the name of the pirate ship, Catherine was surprised for a moment, then looked him over carefully and said...
"Hahaha, the Luo Chen Pirates currently only have two members, but each of them has a hefty bounty on their heads from the Navy, especially your traitor, Captain Catherine, for whom there's a 50 million Beli bounty, and they only allow her to be captured alive... Your identity must be quite extraordinary!!"
George chuckled a few times upon hearing this, then pointed at her with a meaningful look in his eyes.
"Hmph, so what if we know? Do you think we'd report this to the Navy and have them arrest us?! And let me remind you again, what reason do you have to make us agree to your joining us?!"
Catherine snorted and turned her face away.
"How could that be? You two are our saviors, how could we possibly secretly notify the navy to arrest you?"
As for the reason you gave, Miss Catherine, I certainly have one, and one you can't refuse: I'm a navigator. I'm a navigator and can also do some shipwork. I just heard they say your ship is short of a navigator. I believe you can't refuse this reason!
George confidently introduced himself, saying he wasn't worried that Catherine would reject him.
"Hehehe, I'm sorry, although we are short of a navigator, we can find one on the next island, so I reject your reason."
After glancing at George's confident expression and pondering for a moment, Catherine shook her head and rejected his suggestion.
"What?! You actually refused? You know, very few navigators are willing to join pirates. Why do you choose to spend so much effort finding companions instead of supporting my joining?"
George had assumed Catherine would agree to his request outright, but to his surprise, she refused, excluding him.
"You're talking about ordinary pirates. With our reputation, would we lack navigators? Besides, I can't possibly agree to let someone with no background join our pirate ship. That would seriously endanger our safety."
Catherine neither agreed nor disagreed with his words, and after he finished speaking, she continued in a calm tone.
"Yes, you don't lack companions, so what advantages do I have that would earn your approval?"
George looked somewhat disappointed after hearing Catherine's words and murmured something.
"Heh, what an arrogant guy. Does he really think we can't run without him?"
Catherine glanced at him coldly at his appearance and walked straight back to the Isel. The pirates and passengers behind her hurriedly followed her back.
"What advantages do I have? And why do I need their approval to join them? Is it because he saved us or because he avenged the captain for me?"
George was momentarily lost. He had thought he would be agreed to join them, but he never expected this outcome, and he was also filled with confusion about the future.
Snap snap...
" George, are you still thinking about this? Is there something troubling you? Tell me, and Uncle Eiffel will help you analyze it!"
At this moment, Eiffel stayed behind, looked at George who was in a state of confusion and distress, walked over, patted him on the shoulder, and asked.
"Uncle George, yes, I really don't know what to do. I really want to join them, but I can't think of any reasons or advantages that would earn their approval. Can you help me?"
George looked up and saw his elder, the Knight Eiffel, asking him a question.
"Is that what you're worried about? Well, I can help you answer your questions."
First of all, as someone rescued by Luo Chen and Miss Catherine, you should have a better attitude. If I were in your shoes, I wouldn't have agreed to your request either.
They're quite the big names at sea lately, so why would they worry about not having companions to join them? The reason they couldn't understand the navigation and had been at sea for days was simply because they hadn't met anyone and had lost their way.
Secondly, you need to show them your determination. Once Supernovas Pirate Crew like Lord Luo Chen decides to set sail, they will inevitably move towards that goal. People without ambition will not be recognized or accepted by them.
Finally, you need to demonstrate your abilities to them. Everyone's position on the pirate ship is crucial, and what is your role?!
Eiffel spoke at length to him, finally enlightening George. He finally understood his own feelings, clenched his fists, and continued.
"I see, I understand now. Thank you for your advice, Uncle Eiffel. I've made up my mind to join them. I'll go find her now and explain things to her."
After George finished speaking, he ran past him like a gust of wind, rushed onto the Isel, and came back to Catherine.
"Wait, Miss Catherine, please, please wait a moment while I say one more word."
George stretched out his arms to block Catherine's way, speaking breathlessly.
"It's you again? What, you want to say something more? Didn't I already tell you? I won't agree to you joining. Get out of my way!!"
Catherine looked at him with some surprise and said coldly.
"No, please wait a moment, just a moment, and let me explain my reasons..."
George's attitude was very firm, and his eyes revealed an expectant look.
"Okay, hurry up and tell me, then leave immediately and don't waste my time."
Seeing the hopeful look in his eyes, Catherine softened and agreed to let him explain his reasons again.
But she still held no hope for George; he hadn't won her over the first time, so what was the point of trying again?
"Yes, thank you. I've come here with a sincere determination to join you. As long as you agree to my request, I'll do whatever you want with me. You wouldn't refuse someone who truly wants to join you, would you?!"
George's attitude was no longer as Pride and confident as before; instead, he lowered his head and pleaded with a very humble attitude.
Click...
"Ah..."
Just then, as everyone's attention was focused on the two of them, a door on the Isel suddenly opened, and Luo Chen walked out, stretched, yawned, and looked over in confusion.
"Hey, what's going on? What happened here? Why are so many people gathered here?!"
Seeing that something was amiss, Luo Chen walked up behind a burly man, patted him on the shoulder, and asked.
"You... it's you, Lord Luo Chen. Are you awake now?"
The burly man was suddenly patted on the shoulder. He turned around, his anger rising, ready to curse at the person, but he didn't expect it to be Luo Chen. He quickly changed his attitude and greeted him respectfully.
"Hmm, what's wrong with those people? Why are they all gathered there?!"
Luo Chen simply nodded in response, then pointed over there and asked again.
"Yes, I heard that a young man asked Miss Catherine to join them, but Miss Catherine refused, so the man continued to kneel there and beg."
Honestly, doesn't he even know his place? How dare he ask Miss Catherine to agree to his request?
The burly man spoke as if he were trying to curry favor with Luo Chen.
"Really? Interesting. Someone actually wants to join us. I'll go see what Catherine decides."
Luo Chen stroked his chin, a playful expression on his face, and then One Flash behind Catherine, leaving no one to watch her make a decision.
