Chapter 13: First crew member
To be honest it was not easy Laffitte if it was not that he gritted his teeth and paid the system 50 points I'm afraid to find him would have been longer . Even though Joshua's heart shed a little bit of blood he still gave up 50 of is hard worked points. However, what the system told him let his face revive back a little colour the. The island that the lackey navigator said that they were closest to Laffitte was on it currently which made Joshua sigh in relief. When the the small confrontation was happening the between him and black pick he felt a particularly breath concealed and watching from a high place.
If Joshua hasn't went further in depth in his perception abilities he probably may not notice Laffitte who was in using his steath ability. Joshua slowly walked over to the bar tenders table not miniding the solemned expressions of persons around . Joshua drew out seat and sat a directly beside of him. If you look from a small distance the height between them is too big its like the difference between goliant and Daniel but a smaller version of them.
"I want to you join my crew," Joshua directly asked as he ordered a small cup of sake.
At that tim about 300miles away you spot 2 small warship sailing towards a certain area at incredible speed . What can be noted is that on the forefront off the ship a word there is imprinted showing it its pride and dignity.
Navy
Both ships are packed with white dressed soldiers who stand with their guns in rows with dignified expressions . At the forehand of the leading warship there stood a short blue hair person who seems to be around 8ft tall looks at the sea ahead with a little solemnity as the wind blows his white jacket vigoriously.
This person is Captain Carl
As early as the navy intelligence informed Carl of Joshua arrival at Rocksbay island he immediately made various preparations and instantly set out to kill or capture the criminal . What Joshua had did had totally hit the face of the navy causing some pirates in the west sea to be a little unrest which caused the navy branches to take immediate actions to supress any riots.
"Chaos this is the beginning and last of you Carl said coldly as he gripped the hilt of his sword which seems be made out of sea stone minerals. For the incident that Joshua caused which was a direct provocation to the navy,they immediately responded with a powerful offense.
600 elites
5 lieutenant commanders
2 commanders
1 captain
Which such line, I'm afraid a pirates whose bounty over 60 miilion will feel unbearable pressure and probably receive a devastating blow .The killing intent in Carl eyes are and the surrounding officers can directly tell you that the navy is not playing around and such unruly criminal cannot be tolerated.
In contrast to the navy retaliation what is Joshua doing....still coaxing a person to join is crew.
hehee..... such big pirate like yourself want little old me who no skill to join your rank Laffitte smailed mysteriously as he continued his tapping without even looking on Joshua.
"No need for that, I could perceive you watching from the distance when I was fighting black pick ,"Joshua shook his head and answered not minding Laffitte behaviour at all. However, that's just one of the reasons, he couldn't say that he knew him from his previous world from watching one piece.I'm afraid he would think I've have some mental problems.
In the future he would join blackbeard crew and become of the Ten Titanic Captains but he is just a rouge sheriff who is in his late 30's and so Joshua wants use this period to recruit Laffitte.
Laffitte eyes flashed with a little white light when he heard Joshua said this, slight suprise was on his face but quickly return back to his calm and smiling nature. "Even so, a small bounty of 36 million bailey cannot let me be interested," Laffitte replied slowly with a smile on face not caring about if Joshua is embarassed at all.
I know thats why I'm going to prove myself
At that moment the a person walked in the bar, he had a on a blue short sleeved shirt and behind him was a short statued person in a blue cap. A horrible wave of gloomy and dark pressure hit them causing there expression to change wildly and instantly be on their guard.
"Such horrible aura who is it the blue short sleeve person," said in a slight trembling voice as he looked around and consciously glance at a person.
it...its him
At that time Joshua released his terrifying aura causing the air around to be slightly dim .The dark and gloomy energy spread throughout the entire bar and waves of negative and chaotic thoughts that were like howling ghosts locked in the black pitch abyss for many years screamed into the surrounding atmosphere . Causing for those in the bar to drop on the floor as they yell controllable as they held there bleeding ears tightly. Joshua who was the propoganda of this looked currently looked like the incarnation of the abyssal lord, the cold and emotionaless eyes would cause anyone to feel chilliness down to there every bones.
Laffitte who was currently being locked on by the aura was shocked, beads of sweat was running down his forehead as he held onto the pistol on the table. If it not had been for Joshua who did not malicious intent Laffitte would have directly shot him already.
Strong Laffitte stated as he looked on Joshua with a dignified expression. To be honest Laffitte was testing Joshua if he was realy worthy of him to follow, even though he said his bounty was low, bounty does'nt really determine your strength level.
Laffitte calm down a little then looked at Joshua in the eye and asked, "what is your goal, what do you want to achieve."
My goal Joshua said soft then thought of over it for a short period. When Laffitte saw Joshua silent he shook his head seemed a little disappointed you have good strength but there are thousands more powerful than powerful then you. When Laffitte wa about to get up Joshua said,
To become the strongest in the seas
Laffitte stopped and squinted his eyes a little then asked the strongest, do you want to become the pirate king.
"No I want to stand on top of the world overlooking all the sentiment beings," he replied. In the same breath, as if something was unlocked flickers of red electricity was released intertwining with his gloomy aura knocking out the persons in the bar directly.
Joshua was shocked and Laffitte also was shocked
This is Conquerors haki
When all of this was occurring, near the island you can see the small warships in full view.
The navy is here
Run the navy his here
Its the navy
I dont want to get caught
It whole town became more chaotic as pirate, criminals fled in different directions in horror who would have thought the navy would show up here an island that navy doesn't attack. Furthermore, captain figure is on the ship how can they not feel shocked and terrified.
"You can't escape chaos," Captain Carl said as he was trying to find Joshua in the chaos. For the fleeing pirates Carl ignored them they are not the missions objective and it will be really troublesome if they form an alliance if he attacks them therefore, so he just ignored them.
"Conquerors haki," Joshua thought in shock Yes Joshua has just unlocked conquerors haki right when he was about to meet his 'demise'.
Conqueror haki one of the 3 haki known, for this haki represents the qualities of a king and only a handful of people have it out of several millions people.
"Even though its only semi awakening I can still feel the difference my aura as he withdrew it." Joshua thought calmly. "But I never knew I had such a had such strong desire," he added slightly puzzled even though he wanted to stand on the top of the world he had never thought he had such strong conviction.
"But that doesn't matter I now have the it and I dont have to save system points desparately to buy it", he thought as he supressed the excitement then looked on Laffitte.
So what's your answer
Laffitte might not know exactly what was that a while ago but he still felt shocked . The special feeling from Joshua made his soul slightly shock and honored which puzzled him. Maybe its fate he thought as he smiled. He didn't answer but looked towards a certain direction and said
It seems like we have a problem.....captain
Joshua grinned and said
welcome a board
