At this moment, more than a dozen squad leaders were staring at Ron with curiosity and anticipation in their eyes.
This includes Marco and Whitebeard sitting on the main seat.
After all, this is the ability to copy. If it can really be completed, even if it can only be copied three times, the value is extremely huge.
"Success!"
Coming back to his senses, Ron looked up at Thatch and said, "Captain Thatch, I succeeded."
"I have mastered the power of the Phoenix Fruit."
As he spoke, Ron raised his hand, and then a ball of blue healing fire appeared in his hand.
"It really is Marco's healing fire!"
"It really worked."
"My God, this copy fruit is too powerful!"
"…"
At this moment, the captains and crew members around couldn't help but cheer.
Everyone was amazed by the healing fire in Ron's hands, and even felt excitement and joy from the bottom of their hearts.
For no other reason.
Since he can copy the Phoenix Fruit, he can naturally also copy Whitebeard's Tremor-Tremor Fruit.
When they thought of this, many people felt excited.
Whitebeard alone suppressed the sea. If a Tremor-Tremor Fruit appears, how powerful will the Whitebeard Pirates be by then?
Thinking of this, Marco and the others looked at Ron with burning eyes and said, "Little Ron, do you want to join my team?"
"Little Ron, come to my third squad, I'll make you the vice-captain!"
"Little Ron, my 13th Division is suitable for you. If you come to my team, I will give you the position of vice-captain."
"…"
In an instant, Marco and others began to extend olive branches to Ron.
Such a player with great potential is a huge temptation for anyone.
"asshole!"
"Do you think I'm dead?"
"Get out of here, Ron is a member of my Fourth Division!"
"…"
After roaring in anger, Thatch came to his senses and quickly pulled Ron behind him, glaring at Marco and the others.
"Ahem~"
Looking at the angry Sachi, Marco and others beside him also coughed awkwardly.
They were too excited.
Otherwise, he wouldn't openly poach people on this occasion.
Of course, such things should be done in private. By the time the matter is done, it will be too late for Sachi to stop it.
"Thank you all for your kindness, captains!"
At this time, Ron came forward.
After taking a look at Marco and the others, he knew what they were thinking.
But he would not choose to leave the Fourth Division. After all, if it weren't for Thatch, he would have died at the hands of the invading pirates and would never have been able to obtain this powerful Copy Fruit.
Thinking of this, Ron immediately bowed and said, "I was saved by Captain Thatch. If it weren't for Captain Thatch, I would have died long ago, and I would not have been able to obtain the Copy Fruit. So I will only be a member of the Fourth Division in the future."
Upon hearing this, a hint of disappointment flashed across Marco and the others' eyes.
After all, their attempt to poach the employee failed and he rejected their offer sternly, so it is impossible for them to try to win him over in the future.
But it was only for a moment, and Marco and others were recognized and appreciated.
No matter what, Ron's grateful character cannot be ignored.
They are able to repay the kindness, and although they cannot join his own team, they are all members of the Whitebeard Pirates.
"Cool~"
At this time, Whitebeard, who was sitting on the main seat, laughed out loud.
He seemed to agree with Ron's words and immediately said, "Little Ron, are you willing to carry my name and travel the world!"
As soon as these words were spoken, the crowd that was originally noisy suddenly quieted down.
Whitebeard's words were not just praise, but more of a desire to adopt Ron as his adopted son.
They have all experienced these things and know how much their father values Ron.
"Ron does!"
Without hesitation, Ron stepped forward and agreed without hesitation.
White ball!
It is definitely the existence in One Piece world whose popularity is second only to the Straw Hat Pirates.
Compared to the intrigues of other pirate groups, only the Straw Hat Pirates can maintain the purity of their partnership. The Whitebeard Pirates do have traitors, but their merits outweigh their flaws.
Especially Whitebeard.
His charisma is unquestionable.
For the sake of his son, he dared to declare war on the navy. Even though he knew he would die, he still chose to stay behind to buy time for his pirate group to evacuate.
The most important thing is that his life was saved by Sachi and it was the White Group that protected him, otherwise he would have died tragically long ago.
"Okay, okay~"
After receiving Ron's reply, Whitebeard laughed out loud again.
Then, he stood up from his seat and said, "Okay, from now on Ron is my Whitebeard's son!"
"Carry my name and travel the world. I look forward to the day when you reach the top of the world!"
"Children, let's have a party!"
"Welcome little Ron!"
As soon as these words were spoken, the whole audience was boiling.
"Welcome Brother Ron!"
"Welcome Brother Ron!"
"…"
Amid cheers, countless wine, meat, fruits and vegetables were brought onto the ship, and the group of people celebrated happily.
In the following time, Ron became the protagonist of the party.
A group of squad leaders took turns to fight, and after drinking countless drinks, Ron soon became drunk and fell asleep.
This scene immediately caused everyone to burst into laughter.
But no one disturbed Ron. Instead, everyone went their separate ways and continued eating and drinking.
…
"It hurts~"
The next afternoon, Ron woke up slowly, shaking his head and feeling extremely painful.
It was his first time getting drunk, and it made him feel extremely uncomfortable.
After sitting for a long time, he finally came to his senses.
After a quick wash, Ron pushed the door open and walked out, finding the kitchen and quickly making some food to fill his stomach.
"Ron!"
At this time, a shout came from behind.
Following the sound, we saw Sachi walking towards us with big strides, and there was a young figure next to him.
He has black curly hair, freckles on his face, wears a cowboy hat, and is shirtless. A huge tattoo of the Whitebeard Pirates can be seen on his back.
Surprisingly, the person who came with Thatch was Ace the Fire Fist, one of the main culprits who would trigger the future Marineford War.
"Captain Thatch!"
Seeing this, Ron hurriedly greeted them, but he did not stop what he was doing.
He kept putting food into his mouth to restore himself, and he vaguely felt that his strength had increased.
I don't know if it's because I've begun to integrate the power of the Phoenix Fruit, but my physical fitness has obviously improved a lot.
"Haha, you were such a lame duck yesterday."
Laughing, Thatch and Ace walked forward and sat down next to Ron.
Then, the two of them picked up the food and started eating without hesitation, saying at the same time; "By the way, Ron, do you want to go out to sea for an adventure?"
