Chapter 47: Merging the Krieg Pirates, It's Time to Let Them See Some Blood!
All the Krieg Pirates turned to look at Gin.
Krieg was dead. Gin was their last pillar.
Gin looked at the familiar and unfamiliar faces.
He couldn't help but give a bitter smile: "Let's all surrender!!"
If it were just him, he would choose to be loyal to Krieg to the end.
But now, there were still so many people left in the Krieg Pirates.
Gin couldn't sacrifice so many lives for his own selfish reasons.
That didn't fit his character!
"He who understands the times is a wise man! Gin, you will be glad for the choice you made today!" The corner of Lister's mouth curled up slightly.
"If I could, I would actually be loyal to Captain Krieg, but I can't lead so many people to their deaths!!" Gin smiled miserably, not hiding anything, and stated his thoughts honestly to Lister.
"Your words make me admire you even more!" Lister smiled faintly.
"No captain would dislike a loyal man!"
"I am the same. From today onwards, you are the Fourth Division Captain of my Money Pirates!"
After speaking, Lister's gaze swept across the faces of the Krieg Pirates again.
He spoke again: "My name is Lister, Captain of the Money Pirates. From today onwards, you are my subordinates!"
"Yes! Captain Lister!!"
Following this call of "Captain."
The battle completely ended.
Lister had Gin take a few men to bury Krieg.
He also had Johnson take men to bury all the fallen comrades.
He himself, with Jango and Rocky, began to reorganize the Money Pirates.
After absorbing the Krieg Pirates.
The Money Pirates had become much larger. They couldn't go to sea without reorganization.
Lister counted the numbers, reaching exactly nine hundred.
Afterward, he completely mixed these people and divided them into four combat divisions.
Each division had two hundred and twenty men.
The remaining twenty men were all assigned by Lister to the main ship.
After all, the main ship inherited from Krieg was truly large. It couldn't be managed by just a dozen girls and a few men.
So, a dedicated team was needed to be responsible for sailing.
After that, Lister gave the Money to Johnson's First Division.
He gave the Black Gold to Rocky's Second Division.
He gave the Black Cat to Jango's Third Division.
In addition, each division was equipped with two secondary ships.
With this, the Money Pirates had a total of thirteen ships.
Enough to form a fleet!!
By the time Lister finished reorganizing the pirate crew, the sun was setting.
Night!!
"Come, let's drain this bowl!"
In the pirate world, banquets were the easiest way to bring people closer.
After absorbing the Krieg Pirates, Lister naturally hoped they could integrate into the Money Pirates as quickly as possible.
Therefore, Lister had people prepare for tonight's banquet early on.
Before the banquet began, Lister raised a bowl of fine wine high, his gaze sweeping over everyone, and said loudly.
"Cheers!!"
Everyone in the Money Pirates raised their wine bowls in response to Lister.
And drained it in one go!!
"After this drink, we are comrades in the same pirate crew. What happened before is now in the past. No one is allowed to bring it up again or create internal divisions!" Lister both reminded and warned.
"Yes!!!" All members of the Money Pirates responded in unison.
At this time, no one dared to sing a different tune.
Otherwise, Lister would teach them a lesson in minutes.
"Good, now I declare the banquet... begins!! Eat well, drink well, and don't go home until you're drunk!"
Lister smiled.
As the banquet began.
The aroma of wine filled the air.
The original Money Pirates and the original Krieg Pirates members gradually let go of their prejudices.
They quickly became one big group.
And started calling each other brothers.
As the saying goes, who you follow matters.
For lackeys like them.
The captain wouldn't care too much about their life or death.
Similarly, they wouldn't be too loyal to one captain.
Lister was clear about this, but he didn't care.
He was also prepared for the day he was defeated and his subordinates were absorbed by someone else... that those guys would heartlessly follow another to a feast.
A banquet.
It lasted late into the night before gradually quieting down.
Lister, Nami, and Nojiko spent a wonderful night in the new captain's quarters.
The next day, early in the morning.
Lister woke up again.
Looking at the sleeping Nami and Nojiko.
A smile flashed across Lister's face.
After planting a kiss on each of their rosy cheeks, he began his daily morning exercise.
His strength was not yet strong enough.
In order to protect everything he now possessed.
He had to become stronger.
Only then would tragedy not befall him.
At this time, the twelve girls had also woken up early.
They followed Lister in training.
After a month of training, their practice was gradually getting on track.
They were fully capable of cutting people down.
"It's time to let them see some blood!"
Lister, seeing the progress of Akame and the others, thought to himself.
