"Then..."
King turned to Kaido and asked, "Mr. Kaido, what's our pirate crew called?"
"Hmm..."
Kaido sat on the ground, his elbow resting on his thigh, his palm supporting his chin, thinking hard...
Unable to come up with anything for the moment, he asked Noro, "Noro, what do you think we should call the pirate crew?"
"I already said you're the captain," Noro replied impatiently.
A sly glint flashed in Kaido's eyes, "Then I now appoint you, Noro, as the vice-captain. Vice-captain, now help this captain think of a name for the pirate crew."
Kaido, you have quite the official air about you!
Who knew, you with your thick eyebrows and big eyes, would be so cunning.
"Let's call it the 'Beasts Pirates'!" Noro blurted out without thinking.
"Why 'Beasts'?"
Although he thought it was pretty good, as the captain, he had to know why it was called that.
Who knows why you're called the "Beasts," Noro made up a reason, "Because the three of us are all Animal-type Devil Fruit users."
"Then why not call it the 'Three Beasts' Pirates?" Kaido pressed.
Why was the world's strongest creature like a curious baby, asking endlessly?
Oh well, he's only 25 years old now, and it's his first time being a captain, it's normal to be excited.
Noro patiently explained, "'Three Beasts' doesn't have the same imposing aura, and more people will join our pirate crew in the future, so Three Beasts won't be suitable."
Kaido nodded, indicating his approval, then asked again, "Then why not call it Ten Thousand Beasts, it's even more imposing!"
"Whatever, you're the captain."
Noro was tired and didn't want to explain to this stupid dragon. He didn't care what the pirate crew was called.
Kaido rested his cheek on his hand...
Kaido pondered...
Kaido suddenly realized, clapping his hands, and said loudly, "I've decided, we'll still call it the 'Beasts' Pirates!"
Like countless revised plans, the client finally decided on the first version. At this moment, Noro had murderous intent.
After Kaido and King finally filled their stomachs, the bonfire went out, and the two slept on the ground.
Noro didn't sleep, keeping watch over these two.
They were both test subjects on Punk Hazard and needed more time to rest. Noro had been conserving his energy, so he could go without sleep for a day or two.
The next day.
The sun slowly climbed high, dyeing the entire sea surface a warm orange color.
Noro walked to the side of Kaido and King, who were sleeping soundly, and kicked Kaido's butt hard, "Get up, Kaido."
Kaido groggily opened his eyes, muttering, "Let me sleep a little longer, Noro, don't bother me."
"Sleep!?"
"You have the nerve to sleep! As members of the Rocks Pirates, Whitebeard and Golden Lion dominate the seas, Charlotte Linlin occupies Totto Land, and Wang Zhi reigns supreme on Hachinosu Island."
"Each of them is a famous pirate on the sea, but look at you, you've accomplished nothing, and before yesterday, you were even a test subject."
"You still have the nerve to sleep! You still have the face to sleep!"
Under Noro's Chinese-style education, Kaido got up in shame, weakly explaining, "I was deliberately captured by the Marines, I wanted to..."
"That's not important!"
Noro interrupted Kaido, "Does the captain have no ambition and just sleep the days away?"
Kaido lowered his dragon head, not knowing where to look.
Stop talking, stop talking, stop talking...
King was also awakened by the commotion, obediently not daring to make any noise, afraid of being scolded by Noro as well.
After a long time, seeing that Noro didn't say anything more, Kaido asked tentatively, "Then Vice-Captain, what do we do next?"
Noro rolled his eyes, "Are you the captain or am I the captain?"
"I haven't been a captain before, and you're the vice-captain, it's the vice-captain's responsibility to solve the captain's problems," Kaido said more and more confidently, a smile reappearing on his face, slightly arrogant.
Being scolded by Noro, he had forgotten that he was his vice-captain. He was the captain, he could just let the vice-captain do everything.
Noro was too lazy to pay attention to the smug Kaido, thinking about the next step.
Although he really wanted to go to Wano Country now, it was obviously unrealistic.
Not to mention anything else, they just didn't have enough manpower.
"For a pirate crew, we at least need a pirate ship first, otherwise what would it look like, we can't just fly everywhere."
"Then we need to recruit some crew members, there are too few of us three."
"Oh right, we also need to make a pirate flag."
Noro said a lot in one breath, and Kaido just kept nodding.
So many things to do to start a pirate crew, luckily he had a vice-captain.
King also nodded along on the side.
After discovering that Noro wasn't saying anything more, Kaido rubbed his chin, saying with a profound expression:
"That's what I was thinking too, as expected of my vice-captain, great minds think alike. Worororororo..."
"Oh?"
Noro looked at the shameless Kaido with a smile that wasn't a smile, teasing, "Then where does the captain want to go to build a ship, where to recruit people, and what kind of pirate flag do you want?"
Kaido turned his eyes guiltily, "That... that... I'm the captain! Right, I'm the captain, these things are up to you, Noro."
"Sigh..." Noro sighed heavily.
Garlic bird, garlic bird, I chose this captain myself.
But Noro had indeed planned it out, "Let's go to the nearby islands first, see if there are any cargo ships or something, or steal a pirate ship and go to Water 7."
"The shipbuilding craftsmanship of Water 7 is world-renowned. Since we're going to build a ship, we have to build the best, using Adam Wood."
"Recruiting crew members isn't urgent, let's at least wait until we have a pirate ship."
"As for the pirate flag, I've also thought about it. I'll draw it for you two to take a look at when we find paper and a pen."
"I've finished speaking, Captain, is there anything you want to add?"
Kaido grinned, "Okay, I'll listen to the vice-captain! I believe you can definitely handle these things properly."
King nodded silently on the side, what else was there to say, everything had been arranged so meticulously.
"Okay, let's set off then."
Noro spread his wings, Kaido was about to transform, but Noro stopped him,
"Don't transform, it's fine at night, but a dragon that big in the daytime will cause panic."
"Oh," Kaido responded dully, and the three set off towards the nearby islands.
Noro was a semi-navigator, and soon, they arrived at an island. Before they landed, they discovered a pirate ship docked at the port.
Kaido's eyes lit up, grinning savagely, "Worororororo... Isn't that a ship right there!"
After confirming that the pirate flag wasn't one of the three pirate behemoths, Law, Whitebeard, or Kidd, Noro also smiled knowingly, "Indeed."
"Beasts Pirates, let's go!" Saying that, Kaido had already swooped down towards the pirates.
Noro: "..."
A pirate crew whose name he hadn't even heard of, did you have to make it more hype than Bolt?
