"Dare to threaten me?"
Ye Jia snorted.
This brother, as soon as he arrived, was arrogant and high-handed, thinking his family was the strongest in the world, and using his family's name to threaten him!
Yonko and Admirals threatening him would be more fitting.
Babastan, Bovine Family?
What kind of trash dares to threaten me?!
"Dresrosa is dead!"
"Moscov Island can finally escape the devil's clutches!"
"That hateful Dresrosa, give me back my family's lives!"
"My father was shot and killed by him on the street! I want revenge!"
"Hang Dresrosa's head on Moscov Island for ten days and ten nights!"
"..."
With Dresrosa's death, the long-oppressed commoners of Moscov Island finally erupted.
They had suffered greatly under Dresrosa's persecution, yet had no strength to resist, only enduring the pain in silence.
Now this great villain was finally dead. Heaven has eyes!
Watching the enraged commoners swarm forward, furiously beating Dresrosa's corpse, Ye Jia revealed an indifferent smile and flashed onto the execution platform.
With a casual sweep, the ropes snapped.
"Hello."
Ye Jia said, "I am the captain of the Death God Pirates. I formally invite you, Swordsman Qiuli, to join my pirate crew!"
Swordsman Qiuli did not reply directly. He silently removed the ropes from his body, then stretched his limbs.
"You are strong."
Swordsman Qiuli spoke, his voice magnetic. Even Ye Jia had to admit that Qiuli was handsome and had an elegant and dashing demeanor. Coupled with such a magnetic voice, he was extremely deadly to women, truly a typical "housewife killer"!
"I am very grateful that you saved me, saved Moscov Island, saved everyone."
Qiuli said, "But my ideals are different from yours, so I cannot join your pirate crew."
"Different ideals? What ideals?"
Ye Jia asked curiously.
Qiuli was silent for a moment, his eyes flickering.
"Since you saved me, I'll tell you the truth... Do you know about the Celestial Dragons?"
"World Nobles, of course I know them!"
When Ye Jia watched One Piece on Earth, what he hated most were the Celestial Dragons. Not only did they do nothing good, they even treated people as slaves. Countless people suffered under the persecution of the Celestial Dragons.
Why didn't Ye Jia choose to become a Marine, but instead became a pirate?
Because he knew that no matter how powerful a Marine was, at the end of the day, they were just weapons used by the Celestial Dragons to deal with the common people!
To put it nicely, they were called Marines, upholding justice.
To put it badly, they were the running dogs of the Celestial Dragon World Government, escorting scum like the Celestial Dragons!
Make Ye Jia bow down to the Celestial Dragons?
What a joke!
"My ideal is to kill all Celestial Dragons!"
Swordsman Qiuli said firmly, his eyes filled with intense hatred.
No wonder Qiuli was so hesitant. The three words "Celestial Dragon" represented a god-like existence in the world of One Piece, high above all others. How could they be spoken so casually?
Especially since Swordsman Qiuli declared he would kill the Celestial Dragons. If others knew this, the World Government would go to any length to hunt him down!
"Kill all Celestial Dragons?"
Ye Jia raised an eyebrow and laughed freely, "I thought it was some kind of ideal. Turns out you want revenge!"
"My parents both died at the hands of Celestial Dragons. To get revenge on the Celestial Dragons, I'm willing to pay any price!"
Swordsman Qiuli said with resentment.
He personally witnessed his parents being killed by Celestial Dragons. That heartbreaking hatred was etched into his bones, impossible to forget.
To become strong enough to one day take revenge on the Celestial Dragons, Qiuli worked tirelessly at every moment.
This time, he was hired by the commoners of Moscov Island to assassinate Dresrosa, to eliminate this evil individual.
Unexpectedly, Dresrosa had colluded with Bloody Sword Passis. He couldn't resist and was captured on the spot, almost losing his life.
If not for Ye Jia's appearance, Qiuli would probably have had his head chopped off by the executioner.
"No problem!"
Ye Jia thumped his chest, saying heroically, "Isn't it just a mere Celestial Dragon? Join my Death God Pirates, and no matter if they're Celestial Dragons or Earth Dragons, we'll eliminate them all!"
"You want to kill Celestial Dragons?"
Qiuli asked, puzzled.
"My name is Death God. I specialize in reaping the lives of evildoers! Since the Celestial Dragons are evildoers, I will eventually reap their lives too!"
A sharp glint flashed in Ye Jia's eyes.
He wasn't joking.
Ever since he learned that he could infinitely store Devil Fruits, and had the Stamina Pill, such a heaven-defying cultivation artifact, coupled with the future increase in his stamina limit, given enough time, he would become completely invincible throughout the world!
The Yonko and Admirals were targets Ye Jia wanted to deal with. As for the Celestial Dragons? They were just some scum he would casually deal with; they weren't even worth mentioning.
"How about it? Do you want to join my Death God Pirates? I guarantee you'll achieve your wish and personally pluck the head of the Celestial Dragon killer who murdered your parents!" Ye Jia tempted.
Qiuli looked directly into Ye Jia's eyes.
He could tell Ye Jia wasn't lying.
Those eyes were filled with confident light, without a single trace of timidity or deceit.
Is what he says true?
To sweep away all evil in the world in the name of the Death God?
If it was truly like that...
"I'll join!"
Qiuli nodded, making his final decision. "I hope you can fulfill your promise and not disappoint me."
Qiuli agreed to join the Death God Pirates, not only because of Ye Jia's promise.
More importantly, he saw Ye Jia's strength.
Lightning and flashes—a Logia-type Devil Fruit user... destined to become a great figure.
Following such a powerful figure, he would encounter more strong enemies and clash with more formidable individuals, greatly enhancing his own strength!
"Haha! Good!"
Ye Jia laughed loudly. "Welcome to the Death God Pirates! I am Ye Jia, captain of the Death God Pirates!"
"Oh, right."
Ye Jia flashed again. When he reappeared, a figure of Gayamanie suddenly appeared on his shoulder.
"This is Gayamanie, my navigator and part-time doctor for the Death God Pirates," Ye Jia introduced.
"Hello, I'm Gayamanie."
Gayamanie's large, sparkling eyes looked at Qiuli. She politely nodded and smiled in greeting.
"Qiuli."
Qiuli's self-introduction was very concise. "Wait for me a moment."
With that, Qiuli leaped up and ran towards Dresrosa's castle with incredible speed.
About two minutes later, Qiuli returned. He had two swords in his hand... No, to be precise, one sword and one saber.
"Holding a sword in his left hand, and a saber in his right?"
Ye Jia looked at this novel combination, intrigued. "Do you practice Dual Wielding?"
Roronoa Zoro practiced Three Sword Style. If there was someone who practiced Dual Wielding, once trained, he would certainly not be inferior to Zoro!
"These are the sword and saber my parents left me. I don't practice Dual Wielding, but 'Sword and Saber Performance.' I must wield both a sword and a saber to use it," Qiuli said. "I have a small request, which I hope you can grant."
"Tell me," Ye Jia said.
"I just heard your conversation with Dralon. He's the heir of the Bovine family, Dresrosa's older brother, and he has great influence in Babastan."
Qiuli's eyes flashed. "He possesses a treasure I've always yearned for, called the 'Eight-Headed Sword.' If possible, I want to personally wield that sword!"
