"The kingdom actually wants us to live in Pirate territory, this is absolutely absurd!"
"Yeah, if we go to Pirate territory, will we still have freedom? Won't we be sold to slave traders? I absolutely won't go!"
"Firmly resist the Limitless Pirates. Pirates' words are not credible. They just want to sell us all off!"
"."
Although Ryugu announced it and the Limitless Pirates had a good reputation, the Fishmen on Fish-Man Island didn't buy it.
As the saying goes, Pirates are Pirates. Even with a good reputation, in the eyes of many ordinary people, they are simply not trustworthy. At least before they have contact, they will not trust Pirates at all. Even with Ryugu's guarantee, the vast majority of Fishmen will not believe it.
This resulted in two days passing since Ryugu's announcement, and not many Fishmen were willing to live on the island granted by the Limitless Pirates.
During these two days, Nox was not in a hurry at all. He just took Toki Amatsuki around Fish-Man Island, shopping and sightseeing.
It was a pity that Toki Amatsuki watched him too closely, as if afraid he would disappear accidentally, leaving Nox no chance to experience the charm of the Fish-Man Island mermaids.
"Captain, our recruitment situation is not very good. We have only recruited a little over a hundred Fishmen so far, and they are all Fishmen with little combat power."
Fish-Man Geral found Nox, who was shopping, and reported.
"Sigh, what's with your brains? How can you mess up something as simple as recruitment like this? Let's go, I'll take you to recruit and show you what our Limitless Pirates' recruitment method is!"
Nox looked at the dejected Geral and said helplessly.
These guys, they are clearly Pirates, but they insist on learning the Marine's recruitment methods. It would be strange if they could recruit any Fishmen!
"Do you know where Fish-Man Street is?"
Nox asked.
"I know!"
Geral nodded.
"Okay, let's go. Lead the way. We'll go to Fish-Man Street to recruit."
Nox said.
"But Captain."
"There are no buts. We want to recruit Fishmen with guts, not just guys who can patrol."
Hearing Nox's words, Geral wanted to say something but was interrupted by Nox.
Under Nox's notification, the crew members of the Limitless Pirates came to Fish-Man Street.
This is the most chaotic, brutal, and lawless place on Fish-Man Island, and also the orphanage of Fish-Man Island. Even Ryugu cannot govern here. It is truly the lawless land of Fish-Man Island.
"You trash from the Limitless Pirates, what are you doing in our Fish-Man Street? You are not welcome here, get lost quickly!"
However, as soon as Nox and the others arrived, they were blocked at the entrance by a group of punks from Fish-Man Street, who then cursed at them.
"How interesting. There are so many fools in this World."
Nox said with emotion. Even at his level, with a reputation that shakes the World, he is still mocked by some little guys. It has to be said, this is truly a strange World. There are too many fools in the World.
"Bullet, Ashura Doji, you two beat up all the Fishmen on this Fish-Man Street. Don't use Haoshoku Haki, and don't kill them."
Nox said with a smile on his face.
"Okay!"
Bullet and Ashura Doji both showed some interest after hearing Nox's words. After all, their bones had become a bit soft these past two days, and now was a good time to loosen them up.
"Bang!!!"
The Fishman punks who had just mocked Nox were immediately blown away by Ashura Doji and Bullet. The intense pain made it impossible for them to even stand up.
"Damn it, how dare you come to our Fish-Man Street to cause trouble! Brothers, let's go!"
There were many Fishmen watching here. Seeing Bullet and the others make a move, they immediately rushed forward, wanting to beat Bullet and the others to death.
"Ah!!!"
However, no matter how many Fishmen rushed up, they were all sent flying by Bullet and Ashura Doji with their bare hands.
For a time, screams echoed throughout Fish-Man Street. A large number of Fishmen were beaten until their heads were bleeding. The strong smell of blood filled the entire Fish-Man Street.
Then, more Fishmen were attracted to attack Bullet and the others, and then they all quickly lay down again.
This phenomenon repeated continuously, until more and more Fishmen lay on the ground.
In just a few minutes, half of the Fishmen on Fish-Man Street were lying on the ground.
"A mere group of small fry, how dare you shout at our Limitless Pirates' Captain! You are truly ignorant fools!"
"Our Captain has taken a liking to you and wants to recruit you, and you actually dare to refuse! I really don't know where you get the courage to refuse!"
"Our Limitless Pirates don't just take anyone. This is our Limitless Pirates' test. We won't take any weaklings!"
"."
Bullet and the others mocked loudly while beating these Fishmen.
The Fishmen who were already lying on the ground, beaten, wanted to retort, but they couldn't speak no matter what. Anyone who dared to speak would be beaten again!
"Stop, stop it!"
Just then, a Fishman with reddish skin from the back of Fish-Man Street, leading a few thousand Fishmen, was rushing over. Seeing this scene, his eyes immediately became bloodshot!
"Boss Tiger, Boss Tiger is here, we are saved!"
Many Fishmen's eyes lit up when they saw the approaching Fishman. The strongest Fishman in their Fish-Man Street had arrived and would definitely defeat these two hateful Pirates!
"Fish-Man Karate·Five Thousand Tile True Punch!"
Tiger rushed forward like a madman, the power of seawater waves condensed on his fist, and he punched towards Bullet.
"Your fist is very soft, it has no strength at all!"
However, Bullet just stood there quietly. Tiger's fist hit his chest, but it couldn't even make Bullet take a step back.
Bullet immediately lost interest, raised his hand, and punched Tiger away.
"How is that possible!"
Fish-Man Street suddenly fell silent. They never expected that Boss Tiger would not even be able to hurt the enemy in the slightest, and was even defeated by a single punch like the other Fishmen.
At this moment, the beliefs of many Fishmen present seemed to be shattered. It was simply unbelievable what they were seeing.
Their inherent strength as Fishmen is ten times that of humans, but what did they see now? Their strongest Fishman, Tiger, was defeated by the opponent in one move!
"Kill, avenge Boss Tiger!"
Even though Tiger was defeated, the foolish Fishmen in Fish-Man Street still foolishly wanted to rush over and kill Bullet.
"Everyone stop, don't move!"
Tiger stood up, enduring the pain, and shouted at those Fishmen, telling them not to act rashly.
"What exactly do you want to do by coming to Fish-Man Street?"
Tiger asked loudly.
He had noticed by now that although the Fishmen lying on the ground were seriously injured, not a single one had died. The people from the Limitless Pirates did not intend to kill anyone.
"Hahahaha, of course, we are here to recruit Fishmen to join the Limitless Pirates. I heard that your Fish-Man Street is the most chaotic, most dirty, and also the strongest place on Fish-Man Island, so we came here to recruit people."
"The actions just now were just to test whether you live up to your reputation."
At this time, Nox stepped forward, and his Haoshoku Haki surged out, instantly enveloping the group of Fishmen on Fish-Man Street.
Those Fishmen who had just arrived were immediately pressed to the ground, only able to look up at Nox's figure.
Among all the Fishmen present, only Tiger could withstand Nox's Haoshoku Haki and kneel on the ground without completely falling down.
"Damn it, what is this? Get up!"
Those Fishmen roared wildly, but their bodies were completely unable to get up.
"Here, I'll say it again. Your Fish-Man Street is the trash of Fish-Man Island. You can only live in places where even sunlight cannot reach, and you can only live in the dirtiest coral reefs."
"Do you know why? I'll tell you now. Because you are too weak, so weak that you can't even stand up in front of my presence. You can only lie on the ground and look up at me!"
"Even your fellow countrymen on Fish-Man Island regard you as trash, despise you, and hope that you all die in this Fish-Man Street and disappear forever from Fish-Man Street!"
"If you stay here all your life, you will never be able to change your destiny. You will eventually die slowly in this dark and cold Fish-Man Street, and no one will remember your names."
"Only the strong can change their own destiny, control their own destiny, become superior, and live openly in the sunlight, walk on land, not fear any danger, live freely, live happily, instead of slowly starving to death, being beaten to death, or being captured by slave hunters and becoming slaves in this damned Fish-Man Street!"
"Come to my Limitless Pirates, and I will give you a chance to become stronger, a chance to change your own destiny!"
"Two days later, the Limitless Pirates will leave Fish-Man Island. Those who want to change their destiny, are unwilling to stay in this Fish-Man Street, want to become strong, and want to live freely, come to the port to find me!"
Nox's deafening voice echoed throughout Fish-Man Street. All the Fishmen who were pressed to the ground heard it clearly.
When Nox left, the pressure on them suddenly disappeared, allowing them to finally get up and stand up.
At this moment, they all looked silently at Nox's departing back, their eyes complex, not knowing what they were thinking.
"I am the Vice Captain of the Limitless Pirates, Fish-Man Geral!"
However, Nox and the others left, but Fish-Man Geral, as the Vice Captain of the Limitless Pirates, stayed behind. He also introduced his identity with a very complex expression.
