"Nox, Marine Admiral Kong, the Steel Bone has set off and is heading towards us."
Shakky walked over and said. Although she had left Beehive, she still had some intelligence information and therefore knew Kong's whereabouts.
"Oh? The Marine is really paying attention to me, sending the only Admiral currently in the Marine to pursue me."
"In that case, let's leave quickly. I can't beat that guy Kong right now."
Nox said. Anyway, he had already gotten everything he needed, and he didn't want to stay here any longer.
"Then are we sailing in a straight line? Or are we going to visit other islands along the way?"
Lesley asked.
"No, we are sailing east."
Nox suddenly changed his mind and said.
"East is..."
Lesley was about to say something, but when she saw the smirk on Nox's face, she knew that this guy was up to no good.
So, they sailed east as Nox said, which was exactly ninety degrees different from their previously set course.
"Alright, turn the rudder and sail according to the course we set before."
Only after Nox and their ship were completely out of sight of War Without End Country did Nox sail towards the predetermined direction.
"You're so bad!"
By now, Lesley finally understood why Nox did this. It was to disrupt the Marine's sight and escape their pursuit.
"This isn't called bad, this is called clever. I don't want to be chased all over the World by Kong."
Nox shrugged.
Kong is a Marine Admiral. The fact that he could fight Rocks head-on multiple times without being killed by Rocks shows how strong he is.
After all, Steel Bone is the pillar of the current Marine, and his Busoshoku Haki must have reached the top level.
This is not comparable to Nox, who has not even reached the Admiral threshold yet.
Half a day after Nox left War Without End Country, CP0 Deputy Chief Carlo arrived here, but he received the news that Nox had already left.
"Your Excellency Saint Saturn, Rocks Pirates Executive Officer Nox, has left War Without End Country and is nowhere to be found!"
Afterward, Carlo Grosso, not giving up, continued to fly for half a day in the direction Nox had previously sailed.
Still unable to see the Nox Pirate Crew, he could only reluctantly call the Gorosei.
"Understood. In that case, you can come back."
Scientific Defense Warrior God Saturn Saint said with a dark face after hearing Carlo Grosso's words.
Although they had thought of this possibility before, they were still very unhappy after receiving the definite news.
After all, that was a Vampire Race that could extend one's lifespan!
"By the way, notify the Marine and tell Kong to abandon this mission."
Finance War God Nasujuro Saint said.
"In the New World, the Rocks Pirates have too many informants. If you want to hunt down a specific Executive Officer alone, you can't do it openly. You can only act in secret."
Warcury Saint, Legal Affairs Warrior God said.
After this failure, they realized that in the New World, their intelligence network was not as good as the Rocks Pirates.
Otherwise, it would have been impossible for Nox to evade their pursuit so accurately.
"Cunning Pirates, return to port!"
Kong said angrily after receiving the order from the World Government.
"Wahahaha, it seems I don't need to take action. The new Executive Officer is quite capable."
"But the Marine actually dared to enter the New World to Encirclement and suppression my Executive Officer, so let's give them a taste of their own medicine."
"There are too many Marine Fortresses in the New World. Let's destroy two more!"
Rocks, who was on Beehive Island, also learned about Nox and the Marine.
He was very dissatisfied with Kong swaggering into the New World, so while Kong was out, he planned to send people to destroy the Marine Fortresses in the New World.
Nox was unaware of these matters. He was currently on the ship, preparing to head to the Calm Belt, and then enter the Four Seas through the Calm Belt.
On the ship, the hundred child soldiers Nox had recruited in War Without End Country were being rigorously trained by Kano and the others.
They had said that although they were child soldiers who had joined the army before, they hadn't learned much. Now, Kano and the others were making them train again to hone their basic physique.
After a week of training, the most outstanding performer was undoubtedly Bullet, whom Nox had his eyes on.
Bullet showed amazing endurance and a firm will, making him a good prospect.
What surprised Nox was that not only did Bullet show good ability, but another child soldier also performed well.
"Douglas Bullet!"
"Number 38!"
Nox came in front of this group of child soldiers and said with satisfaction, looking at these two.
"Here!"
Bullet and Number 38 had not yet changed their military habits and answered subconsciously.
"You two performed well. Bullet, from now on, you will be the Vice Captain of these 99 people. They will all be under your leadership!"
"Number 38, this is your code name. Today, I will give you a name called Douglas Kyle. From now on, you will be Bullet's deputy, which means you will be the Vice Captain of these people."
Nox said.
"Yes, sir!"
Bullet and Kyle said excitedly.
In the past, they were child soldiers of War Without End Country. To put it nicely, they were child soldiers; to put it bluntly, they were cannon fodder, and the kind that couldn't even eat their fill.
But since being taken onto the ship by Nox, not only could they eat their fill every day, but they also had meat with every meal. Although the daily training was very hard and difficult, compared to their past experiences, it was simply heaven!
All of this was given to them by this powerful man in front of them. They had sincere admiration and respect for Nox from the bottom of their hearts.
"On my ship, you don't need to use military customs. Here, you can call me Captain, you don't need to call me sir or anything like that."
"Perhaps Kano and the others haven't told you before, but on my ship, we believe in the principle of the survival of the fittest. The capable go up, and the weak go down."
"As long as you are strong enough, you can get everything."
"From today onwards, you two don't need to do chores on the ship like the others. You just need to focus on training and becoming stronger."
"The chores that were originally in your hands will naturally be done by people weaker than you."
"Of course, if there are outstanding performers among you 98 people, you can also be exempted from the status of chores and become official crew members on my ship."
Nox had high expectations for both Bullet and Kyle, looking forward to them growing up in the future and becoming important Executive Officers under him.
Note:
In Pirate, swords and knives are not distinguished. Don't worry about why something is clearly a knife but is called a sword, or why a knife technique is called a sword technique.
In short, in Pirate, a knife is a sword, and a sword is a knife. Just call it whatever sounds good.
