Roy smiled slightly and activated his Telekinesis.
The next second, Jesus Burgess, Lafitte, Van Augur, Yamato felt a blur before their eyes, and the four of them were already on Savi's large ship.
"Wow! Roy! What kind of ability is that?!"
After Yamato, Yamato excitedly looked around.
How did you get here?
"I didn't even notice!"
Roy laughed.
"The abilities of the Telekinesis Fruit Awakening."
I'll tell you all about it later.
Only then did Savi and his companions notice that there were three strangers behind Roy.
A man wearing a top hat, his face deathly pale.
A tall, thin man carrying a long gun and wearing a monocle.
A muscular, masked man.
"Boss, who are they...?"
Yamato asked curiously.
Roy turned to the side,
"Newly recruited crew members."
" Lafitte, Van Augur, Jesus Burgess."
The three nodded to Savi and his companions.
Lafitte bowed slightly.
"I have long admired your esteemed names."
"The ' Giant Ape ' Savi from Hachinosu, ' Thundercloud ' Enel, ' Green Fairy ' Pea, and..."
" Kaido's daughter, Yamato."
Yamato blinked.
"Huh? You know me?"
Lafitte smiled slightly.
"I am, after all, a former intelligence officer; I know this basic information."
Van Augur simply nodded slightly.
" Van Augur, the sniper."
Jesus Burgess grinned, revealing a mouthful of white teeth.
"Hahaha! Hello everyone!"
"My name is Jesus Burgess! We're comrades from now on!"
Please take good care of me!
Savi curiously sized up Jesus Burgess's muscular physique and couldn't help but say,
"Hey, are you strong?"
Jesus Burgess was taken aback, then patted his chest.
"Hahaha! Of course it's big!"
"My greatest strength is power!"
Savi's eyes lit up.
"How about we have a competition sometime?"
Jesus Burgess grinned.
"OK!"
Yamato then moved closer to Roy and grabbed his arm.
" Roy! What have you been doing all this time?"
Tell me! Tell me!
Enel also came over,
"Yeah, boss, tell us about it!"
"I heard you got into a fight with that old geezer Garp?"
The Pea blinked its big eyes,
"Roy, what does that 'Fruit Awakening' feel like?"
Savi also forgot their earlier agreement and looked at Roy with anticipation.
Roy couldn't help but laugh at the four of them's curious expressions. He walked to the bow of the boat, sat down, and gestured for everyone to sit down as well.
"Alright, since you're interested, I'll give you a brief overview."
Roy briefly explained the trip to the four of them.
When Yamato heard that Roy had met Garp in Yamato Foosha Village, his eyes lit up instantly.
" Garp! Is that the old Marine who appeared in Wano Country last time?!"
" Roy! Are you guys fighting?"
Roy nodded.
"I hit him."
"They fought for three days and three nights."
Everyone gasped.
Three days and three nights?!
Roy's gaze drifted into the distance.
That battle was indeed dangerous.
"That old man Garp, he truly deserves to be called a naval hero."
"Their strength far exceeds our imagination."
"Several times, he almost beat me to death."
Upon hearing this, the expressions on the faces of Savi and the other three changed instantly.
Yamato clung tightly to Roy's arm, her eyes slightly red.
" Roy..."
The Pea even jumped up!
"That wicked old man! How dare he hit the captain!"
"Next time I see him, I'll have vines tie him up!"
Savi said in a deep voice,
"Boss, next time something like this happens, you have to take us with you!"
We may not be able to offer much help, but we can at least help share some of the burden!
Enel also became serious, which was uncharacteristic of him.
"Boss, Savi is right."
"It's too dangerous for you to face an expert of that level alone."
"We're a team; we should face this together."
Looking at the four people's serious expressions, Roy felt a warm feeling well up in his heart.
Don't worry.
He patted Yamato's head.
I'll definitely bring you all next time.
Yamato raised his reddened eyes,
"Real?"
Roy nodded.
"Real."
Yamato then stopped crying and started laughing.
"That's good!"
Roy stood up.
"Alright, that's the end of the story."
Let's go home.
Savi and his three companions then remembered that they were still on patrol.
"Oh right, boss, we still have patrol duties..."
Savi scratched his head.
Roy waved his hand.
"No."
"Come back with me."
"Those pirates can be handled by the gene warriors."
Savi nodded.
"Yes!"
Then he turned and shouted towards the direction of the ship.
"Hey! You guys take those guys back yourselves!"
"We'll go first!"
The gene-engineered warriors on the ship saluted.
"Yes!"
Roy activated his Telekinesis, and the ship slowly rose into the air, flying towards Hachinosu before finally disappearing into the sea of clouds.
It was already evening when the ship landed at the main port of Hachinosu.
The setting sun painted the entire sky a brilliant orange-red, and the sea shimmered beautifully.
A large crowd had already gathered at the port.
Bullet's tall figure was particularly eye-catching.
He stood at the front with his arms crossed, an excited smile on his face.
Behind him were Tesoro, Crocodile, Hawk Eyes, Red Count, and others.
Further away, countless genetically engineered warriors and ordinary soldiers stood in neat rows, awaiting the captain's return.
Roy jumped off the sailboat and strode toward the crowd.
Roy!
Bullet greeted Roy with a loud laugh, punching him on the shoulder.
"You little rascal! You're finally back!"
"I heard you fought that old man Garp for three days and three nights?!"
Roy dodged his fist and laughed.
"The news travels fast."
That's it!
Bullet proudly raised his chin.
"The news has spread throughout the entire ocean!"
" Heavenly Dao Emperor Roy battles Garp the Marine Hero!"
"After defeating Garp, I went to the West Blue and recruited three more subordinates!"
"Hahaha! You're really something!"
Tesoro also joined in.
"Boss! What does it feel like to Devil Fruit Awakening?"
Tell me! Tell me!
Crocodile, with a cigar in his mouth, spoke softly.
"Don't stand here, go to the meeting room."
Hawk Eyes, holding Black Blade Yoru, nodded slightly.
"I want to hear it."
Red Count smiled slightly.
"I'm very interested too."
Roy looked at the expectant expressions on everyone's faces and shook his head helplessly.
"Okay, let's go to the conference room."
Main island palace, conference room.
The group filed in and took their seats.
Roy sat in the main seat and looked around.
Bullet, Tesoro, Crocodile, Hawk Eyes, Red Count, Kyros, Scarlet, Stella, Moria, Savi, Enel, Pea, Yamato, Kaku, Lucci...
All core members were present.
Lafitte, Van Augur, Jesus Burgess stood to one side, looking somewhat reserved.
Roy pointed to the seat next to him.
"Please sit down."
"Now that you've joined, you're one of us."
The three nodded and sat down.
Bullet couldn't wait to speak.
" Roy, tell me quickly, what does it feel like to Devil Fruit Awakening?"
Tesoro nodded frantically.
"Yes, yes, yes! Boss, tell us quickly!"
We all want to Awakening!
