Second Captain.
Hearing Usopp's words, Nami, Zoro, and Luffy all looked towards Uno.
Nami felt that Uno seemed to have been doing the job of vice-captain all along.
Zoro had no objection to this. Uno made him fully understand how to go in the future and how to realize his ambitions.
Zoro also admires Uno's magnanimity.
He had no objection if Uno became the vice-captain.
However, the decision on the selection of the vice-captain still lies with Captain Luffy.
Zoro and Nami looked at Luffy.
Luffy blinked at this point.
Luffy still remembers that when Uno first became his partner, he agreed with his dream of becoming the King of Pirates.
He also took a title that matched the Pirate King's right hand and was also the second captain of the Pirate King's ship, 'Pluton,' Rayleigh, 'Uranus.'
And in the following voyage, it was thanks to Usopp that he gained two more companions, Zoro and Nami.
Uno himself is also very reliable, and he is indeed very suitable for the position of deputy captain.
But...
Luffy was a little confused again.
"It's too early to talk about the vice-captain."
Uno looked at Luffy; the corners of his mouth curled up slightly.
"Huh? Why? After becoming the vice-captain, you will be able to better command other members in battle, and your companions will also be more accepting of your command."
Nami was a little curious.
Although Nami is only a temporary member at this time, the official members of the Pirates are only Zoro, Uno, Usopp, and Captain Luffy.
But in Nami's opinion, there is no better choice for vice-captain than Uno.
Even Zoro, the famous 'Pirate Hunter' in East Blue, recognizes Uno and will follow his command.
The battle command along the way was basically decided by Uno.
"You can become a vice captain not by becoming a vice captain to be recognized by your partners, but by being recognized by all your partners."
Uno's mouth curled up slightly.
"Snort."
Zoro's lips curled up into a smile.
As expected, it's Uno.
"So handsome, Uno."
Usopp felt that Uno was glowing at this moment.
These are the real Pirates!
"Besides, Luffy's partners have not yet been assembled. Before the assembly is completed and before all partners have been recognized, it is too early to talk about vice-captain."
Uno looked at Luffy; the corners of his mouth curled up slightly.
This is probably also the reason why in the original work, after the Straw Hat Pirates defeated Kaido of the Beasts and BIG-MOM and became the new Four Emperors Pirates, they still did not have an official vice-captain.
Luffy cherishes and respects his partners immensely, even those who haven't joined yet.
Given Luffy's personality, he would not confirm the vice-captain before all the partners were confirmed.
"Hehehe, Uno, it's great to have you as my partner!"
Luffy heard this and grinned with great joy.
This is where Luffy was struggling. He hadn't yet gathered all his companions and obtained their approval before he was appointed vice-captain.
In Luffy's opinion, this is not respectful to future partners.
Now that the deputy captain has been appointed, the companions who join his ship in the future will be the same as his subordinates.
There were no men on his ship, only companions.
Uno's words, "It's not becoming a vice-captain that will earn you recognition from your partners, but being recognized by all your partners that will earn you a vice-captain," are exactly what Luffy was thinking.
When all the partners have been gathered and recognized by all of them, he will be the vice-captain of the Pirates Group!
"With the strong approval of Monkey.D.Luffy, the bond has been improved and the entry loading progress has increased."
The loading of the Sun God (Super Gold) entry is another step forward.
Uno's mouth curled up slightly.
"Look at Uno. As a captain, you should be more reliable."
After hearing what Uno said, Nami's eyes showed something more.
But then he looked at the grinning Luffy and immediately gave him a lecture.
"I'm reliable at critical moments, okay? That's what Uno said."
Luffy puffed out his chest proudly.
"You use Uno's words to show how powerful you are. How can you be a captain?"
Zoro covered his forehead helplessly.
"Huh?! Is that so?"
Luffy's face froze.
"Well, everyone gathers together because they recognize you."
Uno laughed a little when he saw Luffy's performance, but he still said something for Luffy.
Although Luffy is usually unreliable, he is still very trustworthy at critical moments.
Luffy's personality charm is also very outstanding. Before going out to sea, everyone in the Straw Hat Pirates had their own dreams.
But later, everyone added another dream, which was to make Luffy the King of Pirates.
Uno joined the Straw Hat Pirates because he could load the attributes of Luffy and the other members of the Straw Hat Pirates and rely on Luffy's strong relationship to successfully pass the growth period.
One of the important reasons is that Uno admires Luffy's personality.
"I am reading...."
Luffy was immediately touched.
"Don't pamper Luffy too much, Uno."
Nami said helplessly.
"So Uno, how do we find those pirates?"
Usopp was concerned about the safety of the villagers and looked at Uno anxiously.
"The current captain of the Black Cat Pirates is Zangao, the former vice-captain of Crowe, the 'Hypnosis Division,' with a bounty of 9 million berries."
"If Cloe wants to command the Black Cat Pirates to attack here, he must go through Zangao."
"If they want to determine the exact time of the operation, they need to meet."
"Zangao's behavior is very strange. He attracts attention unconsciously. If we go to the village, we should be able to find Zangao quickly."
Uno laughed.
Uno, who knew the plot, could easily solve the problem of the Black Cat Pirates by doing a simple reverse deduction based on the plot he already knew.
"Sugei! You are indeed a military strategist!"
Usopp looked at Uno in reverence.
When they first met, Uno easily saw through his bragging.
He is powerful, has admirable magnanimity, and has such strategy.
Uno, you are indeed a true Pirate!
"Then find that guy quickly and kill him!"
Luffy rolled up his sleeves and rushed out.
"Do you know what he looks like?"
Zoro grabbed Luffy by the back of his collar and pulled him back.
"Oops! I forgot about that!"
Luffy yelled while holding his head.
"I'll go deal with Zangao's problem. You stay here and talk to Merry about the pirates' ship."
Uno stood up.
The bounty is 9 million berries, and the Hypnosis ability is high, so I should be able to gain something.
"Don't worry, Mr. Uno, I will do my best to build a good ship for you."
Meli, who was standing aside, said seriously.
Merry is Kaya's servant but more like a mentor and friend.
Merry was extremely grateful to Uno and the others for defeating Clo and saving Miss Kaya's life.
Naturally, we have to do our best to build a good Pirates ship for Uno and others.
Of course, the Merry was actually designed by Merry when he was a child twenty-two years ago, and now the ship has been basically built.
But there are still some details that need to be modified according to the requirements of Uno and others.
"I'm looking forward to it."
Uno laughed.
