One piece : The God Slayer

---

In general, the squad leader is the most senior officer of the Rocks Pirates!

It is equivalent to the three disasters of the Beast Pirates, the four generals of the Big Mom Pirates, and the white-bearded squad leaders.

You can travel alone, loot at will, and have great power.

No wonder so many pirates are determined to become the captain of the Rocks Pirates—it is indeed very attractive.

But it's not so easy to stand out from this group of monsters.

The Rocks Pirates now only have six captains: Whitebeard, Golden Lion, Charlotte Linlin, Silver Axe, John, and Wang Zhi!

Rono is the seventh squad leader!

"Of course, the most important mission of being a squad leader is that once I have any orders, no matter where you are or what you are doing, stop immediately, then gather and follow the main unit."

Then Rocks increased his tone, and it was obvious that this rule was the most important rule.

"But don't worry, every time my order is guaranteed to satisfy you," Rocks glanced at Rono and said deeply.

"Interesting, I see." Rono understood when he saw Rocks's expression.

With Rocks's style of doing things, once the squad leader is called, the target is likely the Celestial Dragons, which is indeed exactly what he wants!

"Okay, you can recruit your own members." Rocks patted Rono on the shoulder and said.

As soon as the words fell, several members of the Rocks Pirates came to Rono.

"Captain Rono, choose me, choose me! I am loyal!"

"Captain Rono, choose me, I am the one who can cut fruit, I will definitely be able to help you!"

"Choose me, Captain Rono, I am a person with the power of the Ox-Ox Fruit, and I am infinitely powerful!"

Suddenly, more than a dozen crew members of the Rocks Pirates wanted to join Rono's squad.

Rono was not really interested in these people.

Although some of them had Devil Fruit abilities, those who volunteered to join his squad must be those who were disliked by other squad leaders.

In other words, their strength and talent were not enough, and the crew was not selected.

But now he was only a bare commander; even if these people were not good at fighting, they could still do a little bit of dirty work.

Soon Rono took in more than a dozen strong-looking men with good health.

Those who were included in the squad by Rono were also proud of their faces!

After all, everyone had seen Rono's talent, and his potential would definitely be greater than any other squad leader in the future!

Follow him, and you will be able to soar in the future.

Some members who joined other squad leaders were also full of envy and regret.

If they had known, they would have waited. Now, these crew members who were not as powerful as themselves could actually join Rono's squad—their luck was too good.

At this moment, suddenly, a tall, muscular man easily lifted the person in front of him and squeezed in front of Rono.

This person was at least 5 meters tall, and his strong muscles were as hard as molten iron.

Around his waist was a mace that was at least 4.5 meters long, and two strange horns resembling bull horns grew on his head.

At first glance, it was clear that he belonged to the Oni clan.

"Captain Rono, you are [The God Slayer] Rono! I didn't expect to see you here!"

"I am willing to join your squad; please be sure to take me in!"

This person was very excited when he saw Rono, just like a fanboy who was so excited when he saw an idol. He knelt on one knee on the spot and begged to join him with an oath!

After seeing this person, the Golden Lion, Charlotte Linlin, Silver Axe, Wang Zhi, and others who were present were also taken aback!

He was a trainee crew member who had just joined the Rocks Pirates, from the Vodka Kingdom of the Grand Line.

After being betrayed by his own country to the navy and fleeing, he joined the Rocks Pirates.

This person was Kaido, the famous "world's strongest creature" in the future, one of the Four Emperors!

Of course, the Golden Lion, Silver Axe, Charlotte, John, Wang Zhi, and others didn't know Kaido's future. They only knew that Kaido looked talented and had potential, so they sincerely invited Kaido to join their squads.

But they were all rejected by Kaido one by one.

Everyone thought that Kaido must have his own ambitions and wanted to form his own squad in the future. However, he suddenly changed his mind and insisted on joining Rono's squad!

This made the eyes of Golden Lion and others full of envy!

Another potential rookie actually asked to join Rono.

The most important thing is that Kaido called Rono "[Hero] Rono!"

Could this guy be Rono's fanboy?

How did they know that Kaido had regarded Rono as his idol as early as when he saw Rono in the newspaper for the first time!

After all, Rono was about the same age as himself but dared to attack the Celestial Dragons and did things he dared not do!

If it weren't for the fact that he had to pay the Heavenly Tribute, his hometown would not have been in constant wars, and he would not have sold himself to the navy.

"Kaido, why do you call me [Hero] Rono?"

In the face of Kaido's surrender, Rono did not rush to agree but asked curiously.

When did he get the title of [Hero]?

Hearing that Rono actually knew his name, Kaido was even more excited:

"Does Captain Rono still know? You hijacked the gold in the sky last time and freed many slaves, including the brothers of our Oni clan."

"Everyone knows the name of Captain Rono, and they call him [Hero] Rono!" Kaido explained affectionately.

Hearing that, Rono nodded. He didn't expect that a random act of his own would have such an unexpected joy.

Looking at Kaido's look of admiration, he realized Kaido was probably 100% his fanboy.

Rono didn't know at this time that among the slaves he released, in addition to affecting Kaido, he also affected the Mink Tribe and the Fish-Men of Fish-Man Island, among other races.

These influences would play a huge role in the future!

"Okay, I understand. I agree to your application. You will be a member of my seventh division in the future."

Rono was also happy to get Kaido, a guy with super potential, as a crew member.

After all, this was the future [World's Strongest Creature]!

If he wanted to achieve his goal and kill all the Celestial Dragons, he must also have a capable helper.

"It's really not bad; as soon as he became the captain, he absorbed Kaido a potential monster as a member."

The Golden Lion, Silver Axe, Wang Zhi, and the others on the side said sourly, their voices full of envy.

Why didn't they want a talented and powerful crew?

It's a pity that they invited him, but he didn't join them. Instead, he took the initiative to beg to join Rono's team.

"Congratulations, Rono, you have become a squad leader, and we are family in the future. We need to take care of each other on the same boat."

"Yes, we are partners, and we will live and die together in the future."

"Yes, Captain Rono, if you need any help in the future, just say it."

"Well, Captain Rono, are you interested in coming to my room tonight? I will entertain you well."

Immediately after the banquet continued, the Golden Lion, Silver Axe, Wang Zhi, John, and other squad leaders raised their glasses to celebrate Rono.

It was also to leave a good impression in Rono's mind.

Charlotte Linlin even kept winking and inviting Rono to her room.

Although Charlotte Linlin's figure was not out of shape and her appearance was young, she could even be regarded as a beauty.

But after looking at the young Perospero, Katakuri, Daifuku, Oven, Opera, Compote, Cracker, etc., who were still young behind Charlotte Linlin, Rono almost spit out his drink.

Forget it, he was not interested in second-hand goods, let alone more than a dozen second-hand goods.

"Indeed, everyone is a partner, and we should take care of each other in the future."

Rono clinked glasses with the Golden Lion, Silver Axe, John, and the others, but he was thinking about something else.

He knew the virtues of this group of people—they were careerists.

They might call you a partner, but if there was a conflict of interest, they would immediately turn their backs.

However, it seemed that fully displaying his talents just now was not a bad thing. At least these squad leaders were now afraid of his strength and potential, and they had come to please him.

In the future in the Rocks Pirates, there should be no flies to harass him.

The banquet lasted for three days and three nights and cost nearly three billion Berries to end.

In a flash, three months passed.

In the three months that Rono joined the Rocks Pirates, he was constantly cultivating his shortcomings.

The first was swordsmanship!

In the past three months, Rono had been looking for Whitebeard to spar with, and he was happy to fight Whitebeard.

After a long period of sparring, Rono successfully raised his swordsmanship from the advanced level to the top level. After all, Whitebeard was also a master swordsman.

Rono was now considered a kendo master at the level of a great swordsman, and the sword energy of his slashes was comparable to that of the Golden Lion himself.

His measurements of speed, strength, and physical strength had also made breakthroughs in the competition, growing to the level of a general!
