At this moment, the powerful pirate crews were not worried, especially the Overlord Pirates and the Azure Dragon Pirates.
Jin Mo found it laughable: "They're still recruiting people, how ridiculous. Your pirate crew will soon face disaster. Who would join?"
"The Captain is right, they are indeed foolish. Does Ye Yu think that just because his Conqueror's Haki is unique, people will want to join?"
At this time, Song Ling also found it laughable, believing that no one would dare to join, and together with Jin Mo, they made a statement that once again dominated the trending topics.
Every major pirate crew also had a news department responsible for public opinion.
Soon, the top trending topics were: "Who dares to join now? When the time comes, we won't go easy on Ye Yu."
When Xia Ling found out, she was furious but unafraid.
"Jin Mo, Song Ling, come at me when the time comes, and I'll turn you two into ice sculptures."
Zhao Yan'er was also furious: "I'll burn them to ashes."
At this moment, the executives also stepped forward.
"I, Lu Xun, with an eighth-level talent, one of the seven executives, and a Slow-Slow Fruit Ability User! Facing my ability, your speed will be slowed down!"
Hearing this, many people were shocked.
"The Slow-Slow Fruit, quite a formidable ability."
"In battle, speed is crucial. Once slowed down, you're just a sitting duck."
"This Lu Xun indeed possesses a remarkable ability."
...
At this time, the other executives also stepped forward to showcase the strength of their pirate crew, to let more people know that their crew wasn't just about Xia Ling and Zhao Yan'er being powerful; they were no slouches either.
At the same time, it was also an introduction to Ye Yu.
"I, Lin Chuan, with a seventh-level talent, one of the seven executives, and a Snip-Snip Fruit Ability User!"
"I, Han Xue, with a seventh-level talent, one of the seven executives, and a Logia Snow-Snow Fruit Ability User!"
"Eighth-level talent, one of the seven executives, and a Logia Swamp-Swamp Fruit Ability User!"
"Eighth-level talent, one of the seven executives, and a Zoan Turtle-Turtle Fruit Ability User!"
"Eighth-level talent, one of the seven executives, and a Sound-Sound Fruit Ability User!"
"I, Qiao Ling'er, with a ninth-level talent, the head of the seven executives and the ship's doctor, and a Heal-Heal Fruit Ability User!"
In an instant, all seven executives stood forward, each with their own pride and no fear at all.
In an instant, the entire Dragon Country was shaken.
"Envy, their talents are so high, and they are all Devil Fruit Ability Users."
"I didn't expect their pirate crew to be so full of hidden talents."
"With such a comparison, they are probably not inferior to the Overlord or the Azure Dragon Pirates."
"Their pirate crew is indeed very powerful."
...
As for the major pirate crews, they were naturally surprised. There were many Ability Users, and their talents were high, with strong cohesion. They immediately felt that this crew was not to be trifled with.
Jin Mo was briefly surprised but remained unafraid.
"Hmph, so what if they are a bit stronger than expected? It's useless."
"Captain, the head of the seven executives is impressive, the Heal-Heal Fruit, clearly a healer, which is also very important in a team."
"Yes, Captain, such Ability Users are rare. Even though we have a ship's doctor, at best, it's a doctor with good medical skills, naturally incomparable to an Ability User."
"A team that can fight, tank, heal, and has large-scale destructive power is indeed troublesome."
...
Jin Mo didn't seem to care: "This ability is quite good, and it's a level nine talent. Although it doesn't contribute to combat power, she is indeed a chosen one. When we face them, we'll try to recruit her."
At this moment, Song Ling was also surprised, but it didn't deter her from the plan to act in fifteen days. Even if they were stronger than expected, they couldn't possibly surpass their combined strength.
Meanwhile, Ye Yu was amazed, not expecting his companions to be so capable, especially Qiao Ling'er with her level nine talent and the Heal-Heal Fruit. He believed that her healing abilities would eventually surpass those of the princess of the dwarves in the Pirate King series.
Qiao Ling'er's importance was significant. In a team where many might get injured or even face life-threatening situations, her role in healing could turn the tide of battle. Once healed, the team could quickly rejoin the fight.
So, thinking about it, Qiao Ling'er was indeed crucial.
Moreover, Ye Yu had to admit that the Slow-Slow Fruit was also a powerful ability. Although Foxy from the Pirate King series was quite weak, the fruit's potential was strong. Lu Xun, with his level eight talent, was bound to be much more formidable than Foxy in the future. If the fruit awakened, it could provide a powerful control ability over a large area.
Lin Muxue's expression turned slightly grim, not expecting the opposing pirate crew to be so powerful.
In terms of crew composition, their Chosen One Pirate Crew was currently no match.
Xia Ling said, "Brother Yu, I don't need to introduce them."
Ye Yu sighed lightly, "Everyone is quite impressive."
Xia Ling proudly added, "That's right, our pirate crew is also a strong one. We may not claim to be the strongest now, but our cohesion is certainly the highest. Our recruitment process is very strict on character; we don't pursue quantity because in times of crisis, we would just fall apart. And on the battlefield, cohesion is crucial. Even if the Overlord and the Azure Dragon Pirates team up against us, so what? If they dare to come, we'll make them pay, even force them to retreat in disgrace. They wouldn't risk great losses just to eliminate us, would they? What would they do afterwards? Get swallowed up by other major pirate crews?"
Her words swayed many.
After hearing this, Jin Mo frowned, noticing that many from the Azure Dragon Pirates seemed conflicted. It was one thing if they were weaker, but being so formidable and having such strong cohesion, it wasn't wise to engage with such a pirate crew lightly.
After all, it would be a thankless task, and the other side didn't possess vast treasures, making it quite unnecessary. In such a dangerous world, it was unwise to weaken one's own forces before taking risks.
Jin Mo, however, was pleased: "Impressive, that's good. In fifteen days, I believe they'll have accumulated some treasures on their ship, and we'll take them then. As for paying a great price? Hmph, don't underestimate me. Breaking you up won't cost us much; it won't damage our core strength."
Song Ling, similarly, didn't change her mind about taking action.
But at this moment, many independent cultivators in Donghai City, and those from various places who hadn't yet joined a pirate crew and were still considering their options, began to waver. Previously, many were afraid to join.
"Looking at it this way, they are quite formidable."
"With Ye Yu's large-scale Conqueror's Haki, the strongest healer, and many powerful Ability Users, along with strong crew cohesion, they indeed form a nearly perfect pirate crew."
"Although I haven't joined yet, it doesn't mean my talent is lacking. I just want to choose a Pirate Crew I like with good potential. I just haven't found the right one yet. Now, I'm in Donghai City, and I feel like I'm waiting for such a Pirate Crew. I want to join."
"I'm also going to sign up. Even if the Azure Dragon and the Overlord Pirates take action, they definitely won't fight to the death. Once they realize defeating them would come at a great cost, they will surely back off."
"Exactly, destroying such a Pirate Crew would leave them severely weakened, allowing other powerful Pirate Crews to take advantage. Isn't that a foolish move? Don't they want to stay on the Pirate Crew rankings? So, they won't fight to the death."
"With that said, I'm going to sign up too."
...
Immediately, many people hurried to the shore, ready to quickly sign up for the assessment and board the ship right away.
Xia Ling, knowing that many people wanted to join, informed them.
"We have an official website. Those not in Donghai City can sign up now at www.kanbenshudeduzhezuishuai.com."
In no time, Xia Ling checked her phone's backend and found that many people were signing up, reaching 100,000 in the blink of an eye.
Xia Ling was delighted: "So many people are signing
up!"
Ye Yu looked at Lin Muxue and the others, expressing his gratitude.
"Thank you for calling people to start the live stream, giving us such a great opportunity to recruit."
