On the luxurious cruise ship, Bob and Kaido faced each other.
"What should we do now? Should we just go and destroy Mary Geoise?" Kaido forced a bitter smile, his words strong. But his tone was one of making the best of a bad situation.
"Destroy Mary Geoise my ass!"
"What else can we do? If we follow this route, we'll be waiting for the Rocks Pirates to collect our corpses!"
"Let's go figure out how to use the ship's rudder!"
Bob rolled his eyes at him, thinking to himself, Kaido, you've changed you've actually learned to crack cold jokes. But it's not funny at all.
With that, Bob was about to head towards the rudder.
At that moment, Jojolbaf who had been silent all this time, suddenly spoke up.
"Perhaps, I can give it a try!"
Hearing this, both Bob and Kaido's expressions changed.
"You know how to navigate?"
Bob looked at him, a bit in disbelieved, and asked with a hint of skepticism.
"I... I was a captain of a pirate crew before I was captured by the Celestial Dragons as a slave!"
"After encountering the Celestial Dragons, they killed all my crew members and kept me as a slave!"
"During my time as a captain, I sometimes took the helm myself, so I have some experience with it!"
Jojolbaf was a bit hesitant at first. But this statement roughly explained his life before being captured by the Celestial Dragons.
"Oh!"
"I didn't know you were once a captain!"
"Since you say so, go ahead and give it a try! I'll direct the course from here!"
Hearing this, Bob's face lit up with joy. Unexpectedly, the first member he recruited was already proving useful.
Indeed, many hands make light work! Patting Jojolbaf, Bob signaled that he could go ahead and try.
After Jojolbaf went in, not long after...
With a dull thud, the luxurious cruise ship shook slightly.
This was a phenomenon that occurred when the ship's direction shifted.
"Hahaha! I didn't expect this guy to actually know how steer the ship!"
Seeing this, Kaido laughed heartily, giving Jojolbaf a thumbs up from inside.
And so, under Bob's direction, and with Jojolbaf at the helm, this luxurious cruise ship, exclusive to the Celestial Dragons, was now heading towards the Rocks Pirates' ship.
Although the cruise ship was large, its top-tier propulsion system gave it plenty of power. At full speed, it was much faster than the Rocks' ship.
Believing that at this speed, they would soon encounter the Rocks Pirates, the luxurious cruise ship, exclusive to the Celestial Dragons, could be described in four words as it sailed across the sea, smooth sailing.
Because any pirate ship, upon seeing this cruise ship, would avoid it like the plague, staying far away.
After all, not everyone was like Bob, who could kill Celestial Dragons without blinking an eye, like slaughtering pigs. This was also why the Celestial Dragons dared to be so arrogant on this sea.
Sitting atop the flagpole, Bob gazed out at the sea. Kaido sat beside him, also looking into the distance.
"Is the scenery really that good?" Kaido asked, puzzled.
He saw Bob sitting atop the flagpole, looking into the distance.
Thinking there was something worth seeing, he came up to look as well. But there was nothing but the sun and the sea. He couldn't help but feel a bit disappointed.
"You, a rough man, how could you understand the beauty of it?"
Bob curled his lips slightly and spoke with a hint of mockery.
"beauty?"
Kaido paused, deep in thought. Then he asked, "I have a question!"
"How do you killed the Celestial Dragons backthen?"
Hearing this, Bob turned his gaze away from the scenery, tilted his head, and looked at Kaido. He spoke in a calm tone.
"Want to know?"
"Of course!"
Kaido answered without hesitation, although he knew that Bob was behind the death of the Celestial Dragons. He couldn't figure out what methods were used. He had been pondering it all along and was extremely curious.
"I can tell you, and even teach you!"
"But... the condition is that you join my crew! How about it?"
Seeing Kaido's eagerness, Bob took the opportunity to express his desire to recruit him.
"Tch! I'm someone who aims to be a commander I won't join any crew!"
Kaido remained unmoved, rejecting Bob's offer. Indeed, with Kaido's strength, he could join any crew he wanted. But because he aspired to be a commander, he hadn't chosen any crew yet.
"Kaido! You're thinking too small!"
"Joining my crew has many benefits. I'll make you the vice-commander right away, and I guarantee this you can challenge me anytime. If you defeat me, I'll hand over the commander's position to you without any complaints!"
Bob laid out his conditions, speaking slowly.
Hearing this, Kaido was taken aback.
"Vice-commander?"
"Yes, vice-commander!"
"If I defeat you, I can become the commander?"
"I, Bob, always keep my word!"
After receiving the confirmation, Kaido fell silent for a moment, his mind racing. Being a vice-commander didn't seem bad, especially in Bob's crew. He could observe Bob up close, which would allow him to understand him more comprehensively.
And in the future, defeat him more quickly. Most importantly, after defeating him, he could be promoted from vice-commander to commander.
Thinking about it, it didn't seem so bad. Seeing Kaido deep in thought, Bob asked, "So, what do you think? Have you made up your mind?"
"Alright, as long as what you say is true, I'll join!" Kaido no longer hesitated, his eyes firm as he spoke. In truth, in the past, Kaido would have flatly refused because he disliked Bob.
But during their time together, Kaido's view of Bob had changed. Although his goal was still to surpass Bob, when Kaido saw Bob kill the Celestial Dragons, he couldn't help but feel a sense of admiration.
After all, killing Celestial Dragons was something most people only talked about, but very few in the world had actually done it. However, this change in his perception of Bob was something Kaido himself hadn't fully realized yet.
"Hahaha! Of course, it's true. From now on, you're the vice-commander of my crew!"
"Make sure to perform well in the future!"
Bob laughed heartily, patting Kaido on the shoulder. With that, his other hand pulled out a Devil Fruit from who knows where, And tossed it towards kaido.
