"General, should we launch an attack?"
Douglas said, his fists sweating.
One must know that in the New World, the reputation of the Rocks Pirates was far too great.
Furthermore, this Nox was an Executive Officer of the Rocks Pirates, and even a powerful Sword Master who had defeated the former Marine Admiral Hannyabal.
Their country had absolutely no way to deal with a strong person of this level.
"No, we cannot open fire first, much less anger him. Perhaps he has been sailing on the Sea for a long time and has come to replenish supplies."
When General Abu Clayton saw Nox arrive, he did not open fire, so there was a glimmer of hope in his heart, hoping that Nox had no ill intentions towards this kingdom.
The more than thirty thousand kingdom troops at the port all nervously watched Nox arriving at the port.
They were afraid that this powerful and fierce Pirate would suddenly unleash terrifying power and kill them all.
"Esteemed Executive Officer Nox of the Rocks Pirates, welcome. Is there anything we can assist you with?"
General Abu Clayton walked forward and said politely and courteously, without any of the dignity or dominance of a General.
"My ship is short on supplies, so I came to replenish them. While I'm here, I wanted to see what the so-called 'War Without End Country' is like."
Nox said casually.
At the same time, his gaze constantly swept around, finally settling on Douglas, but quickly moved away.
Before coming, Shakky had already investigated Douglas's information, and Nox had also seen his photo, so he recognized him at a glance as Bullet's superior.
"Is this the power of a Rocks Pirates Executive Officer? It's too terrifying. Just a single glance makes me feel like I'm in imminent danger and cannot resist."
And just now, Douglas felt as if someone was rubbing a cold military knife on his soul, making his soul tremble!
"Headhunting Swordsman, please rest assured, we will deliver the supplies you need as quickly as possible."
"We welcome your visit to our kingdom with open arms."
General Abu Clayton breathed a sigh of relief when he heard Nox's words. As long as he wasn't here to destroy the country, everything else was easy to discuss.
"My ship needs some kids as deckhands. I heard your kingdom has quite a few child soldiers. I want to recruit a batch of kids here to be my subordinates."
"You, yes you, you should be something like a Vice Captain, right? I find you quite pleasing to the eye. Bring all the kids under your command for me to see."
Nox looked at Douglas and said.
"Douglas, do as the Headhunting Swordsman says and go quickly."
General Abu Clayton glared at the trembling Douglas and low-key scolded him.
"Yes, yes, yes, I'll go right now!!"
After being scolded by General Abu Clayton, Douglas finally realized how he had been trembling and unable to move after being looked at by Nox just now.
"Headhunting Swordsman, our kingdom still has many child soldiers. Do you need me to call them all to see you?"
General Abu Clayton said cautiously, this was a good opportunity to curry favor.
Abu Clayton naturally did not want to miss it. If Nox took in a large number of child soldiers as his subordinates, then he and the kingdom would have a connection.
"Then call them all out for me to see."
Hearing this, Nox also thought it was a good idea to take in more kids.
If there were those with talent and potential, they could be cultivated. After all, people cultivated by oneself were the most reliable.
"Sir, I have brought them all."
Douglas was very quick, bringing all the child soldiers under his command in less than five minutes.
Nox looked over at a glance, there were exactly twenty-six child soldiers. He didn't know which one was Bullet.
The name Bullet was given to him by Douglas after he showed extraordinary potential and strength.
"Codename, that's right, it's the codename. Bullet's former codename was '9', and later he was hailed as the kingdom's 9th Bullet."
Immediately, Nox looked at the kid with '9' written on his badge. He was expressionless, but his gaze was firm, unlike the other kids who were confused and emotionless.
The current Bullet had just joined the army not long ago and had not suffered betrayal from his companions, nor had he been betrayed by his country, so he was still a mentally healthy good child.
"Buzz!!!!"
Suddenly, Nox's aura leaked out. This was not Haoshoku Haki, but his killing intent.
Even just a part of his killing intent made the nearby Douglas tremble with fear.
General Abu Clayton, who was beside Nox, was even more nervous, afraid that Nox would suddenly get angry.
Fortunately, after waiting for a while, he found that Nox was not angry, but was looking at the twenty-six child soldiers in front.
Although those twenty-six child soldiers had been on the battlefield, that kind of low-level battlefield was simply no match for Nox's killing intent.
Just a trace of leaked killing intent made these twenty-six child soldiers feel as if they had fallen into an endless hell, incredibly terrifying, and they all gritted their teeth, then fell to the ground one after another.
Only the kid numbered 9 still stood firm with his fists clenched and biting his tongue, not allowing himself to fall.
Although he didn't know what was happening, his innate strong personality made him unwilling to fall like this. No matter what, he didn't want to fall here.
"Very good, what's your name?"
Seeing that only 9 out of the twenty-six had persevered, a satisfied smile appeared on Nox's face.
Even though Bullet had just joined the army, and even though he was very young, that innate strong will could not be faked.
Coupled with the number 9, Nox was certain that the 9 in front of him was undoubtedly the Bullet from the original work.
"Reporting, I don't have a name, I only have a number, 9!"
Although Bullet didn't recognize Nox, seeing his superior Douglas bowing and scraping in front of this person, he knew that this person in front of him was not to be provoked.
"Then what's your name?"
Nox turned his head to look at Douglas and asked deliberately.
"Sir, my name is Douglas Ryan."
Douglas trembled, he didn't expect Nox to target him. He should have taken leave and not come to the port today if he had known this.
"Since your superior is named Douglas Ryan, then from now on, you will be called Douglas Bullet."
Nox looked at Bullet with satisfaction and said.
"Soldier 9, I, as the kingdom's General, announce that from now on you are no longer a soldier of the kingdom, but a subordinate of the Rocks Pirates Executive Officer, the Headhunting Swordsman!"
General Abu Clayton saw this and immediately said.
