So, Ochoku, learning that the few people had died tragically, still stirred up a bit of excitement in his heart.
"Captain Rocks, I think..... we should now go and attack the member countries to replenish some funds, and recruit more crew members, instead of doing useless work, and heading to Hachinosu." John also echoed.
As an executive of the Rocks Pirates, John was a greedy person.
He didn't care about the death of El and others.
He only cared about the benefits he could reap!
As everyone knew, the higher the position in the Rocks Pirates, the higher the profit sharing.
John, was also a main force executive of the Rocks Pirates.
Every time they attacked a member country or something, he could reap a lot of benefits!
Now, El and others had died.
That is to say, the share that El and other main force executives originally received.
Would now be divided equally by them, these main force executives!
In this way, John would be able to reap more benefits than before!!!
Hearing the three people's words, Rocks slightly turned his head, looked at the three of them, and a strange look flashed in his eyes, but he didn't say anything.
In fact, Rocks knew very well in his heart, that El and others were likely to have fallen.
But.... he was still unwilling to give up that glimmer of opportunity, the opportunity to find El and others.
Because the survival of El and others, would be related to whether he could become a sea overlord in the future!!!
Just as the Rocks Pirates continued to sail forward, and Rocks' expression became even more solemn.
Suddenly, at the end of the sea level, a huge tsunami appeared.
As the tsunami gradually approached, they discovered.
The people standing on the tsunami, were precisely El, Whitebeard, Shiki, Charlotte Linlin, Kaido and others!!!
"Th... That's Captain El!"
"I..... Am I seeing things, I actually saw Captain El, Edward, Shiki, and Charlotte Linlin on the tsunami!"
"I seem to be seeing things too, I.... I saw them too."
As the tsunami completely approached the Rocks Pirates, the pirates of the entire Rocks Pirates instantly boiled over.
"Holy crap!!! It's really Captain El and the others, they actually didn't die!!!"
"H... How is this possible, almost all of the Navy's top combat powers were dispatched on Hachinosu, and they were still able to return alive!"
"This is too outrageous, what exactly happened on Hachinosu, that they were able to return alive!!!"
After completely seeing El and others' faces clearly, countless crew members discussed one after another.
They had originally thought, that El and others were definitely going to die.
But.... no one had thought, that El and they had all returned alive!.
And El and others, had not expected, that they would encounter the Rocks Pirates not long after leaving Hachinosu.
Seeing the few people return safely, and even bring Kaido back, even Rocks was stunned by this scene.
But he quickly reacted, and immediately laughed loudly.
"Hahahaha..... El, Edward, Shiki, Linlin, you guys have never disappointed me."
To be honest, even Rocks had never thought that El and others could return alive!!!
Shiki floated from the tsunami, onto the ship, crossed his arms and hugged them in front of his chest, and said with a solemn expression: "Captain Rocks, we went to Hachinosu this time to bring back Kaido, and we went through all kinds of hardships!"
Shiki, after experiencing this Hachinosu incident where he had died and been reborn, had already decided.
Next time, if Rocks arranged any tasks, if he didn't give him generous rewards, he would be beaten to death and wouldn't do it.
This time on Hachinosu, could be said to be the most desperate time for Shiki, and the closest he had ever been to death.
If it hadn't been because El had displayed extremely terrifying combat power.
Then they were afraid that.... they would have already died on Hachinosu.
Now, having returned alive from Hachinosu, the first thing Shiki wanted to do, was to ask Rocks for a reward.
"That's right, Captain Rocks, if there's no generous reward this time, then it really won't make sense." Charlotte Linlin also echoed.
"Hahaha.... Shiki, I've already heard about the matter on Hachinosu, you were able to complete the task I assigned under those conditions, and return safely, I definitely won't mistreat you when it comes to rewards!" Rocks laughed loudly.
There was nothing more joyful than, regaining hope after despair.
Seeing that Shiki and others were still alive, Rocks' mood at this time was unusually excited.
After all, these people were still alive, then that represented that, he still had the hope of being able to dominate the world in the future!
"Then Captain Rocks, what is the reward this time?" Hearing that there was a reward, El quickly asked.
"Two billion Berries, and choose one out of three Devil Fruits!!!" Rocks grinned, and said extremely happily.
"Three Devil Fruits???" Hearing this reward, even El's eyes lit up.
Although two billion Berries was rich enough.
If he bought Devil Fruits at the market price, he was afraid that he could buy more than three.
But.... Devil Fruits were after all one of the treasures of this sea, and they had always been priced but without a market!!!
So it was said that if he had two billion Berries, he might not be able to buy three Devil Fruits.
But..... obtaining three Devil Fruits, plus the three that El had obtained from the auction on Hachinosu.
That was a total of six Devil Fruits!
Sacrificing the six Devil Fruits to Kurama, even El was looking forward to what kind of ability would be unlocked!!!
"Jie hahaha.... Captain Rocks, is really happy to give." Shiki, hearing this, immediately laughed loudly.
Although this experience of the Hachinosu incident, where he had almost died, had made him full of anger.
But now hearing that.
He could choose one out of two billion Berries, and three Devil Fruits.
The anger in his heart also dissipated, and what replaced it was excitement.
For Shiki, he would definitely choose two billion Berries.
After all, he already had Devil Fruits, so he didn't really need them.
And two billion Berries, were very important to him.
You had to know that the old era was different from the new era.
The purchasing power of money in the old era, was much stronger than the money in the new era.
With these two billion Berries, Shiki could secretly purchase many weapons, and train many members!!!
At this time, Kyo, envious of the benefits that the few people had obtained, jumped out and shouted.
"Shiki, how did you guys return alive, did you guys become the running dogs of the Navy???"
Kyo really didn't believe, how Shiki and others had returned alive.
After all.... the Navy had dispatched so many top combat powers.
Logically speaking, Shiki and others couldn't have returned alive.
Since that was the case, then there was only another possibility.
That was that Shiki and they had started to be loyal to the Navy, and were doing things for the Navy, so the Navy hadn't killed them.
And had let them return, to monitor the Rocks Pirates.
"Kyo, you guy, are you hoping that we would die?" Shiki's eyes bloomed with cold light, and he asked coldly.
"That's not it, we just want to hear the story in it, and want to understand more, just how did you.... escape from Hachinosu!"
John came to Kyo's side, a gleam of light bloomed in his eyes, and he looked directly at Shiki.
Originally, after Shiki and others died, they would reap more benefits than before when they attacked member countries or something.
But now, Shiki and others had returned alive, and had even obtained so many benefits.
This.... naturally also made John a little unhappy.
"Can't say it, huh Shiki? You really betrayed our Rocks Pirates, that's why you ran out alive!" Ochoku also jumped out and shouted.
"Jie hahaha.... How ridiculous, what kind of character am I, Shiki, how could I possibly defect to the Navy?" Shiki laughed loudly hearing this.
Although Shiki wasn't very loyal to the Rocks Pirates.
But even if he died, he would definitely not defect to the Navy!
Because this was his dignity!!!
Charlotte Linlin, looking at the three people, sneered: "Might as well tell you, that we were able to return alive, thanks to El."
"El? Are you kidding me? Even if he's strong, could he bring you out from Hachinosu???" Kyo's face darkened, and he snorted coldly.
"You're really short-sighted, Kyo, have you forgotten how you were defeated by El back then?" Shiki ridiculed.
"You!!!"
Hearing Shiki poke at his sore spot, Kyo's face directly became extremely gloomy.
Rocks came in front of the few people, and stopped them: "Stop arguing, you guys!"
Hearing Rocks' words, the few people stopped arguing, and obediently closed their mouths.
Rocks placed his gaze on Whitebeard, and questioned: "Edward, what exactly happened on Hachinosu?"
"I believe Captain Rocks, has already received the news, we encountered countless Navy powerhouses on Hachinosu, and even we ourselves thought that we were destined to die on Hachinosu."
"However..... El didn't hesitate to use a Devil Fruit, with an ability that he could only use once in his life, and fought against the joint attack of a Navy Admiral and a Navy Fleet Admiral, and even killed an Admiral, that's how he rescued us from Hachinosu."
