Ace's full-strength attack caused the monster birds to retreat.
But because of this, he failed to maintain his balance, and after launching the attack, he was about to fall into the sea.
At this moment, two hands reached out at the same time and grabbed him tightly.
"Pirates? That's fine too! I have to do something to live up to this journey of my life!"
Jerry sighed, he had just crossed over for a few days and had been struggling to escape, so he hadn't actually thought about what he would do in the future.
If old man Garp invited him at this time, he might agree to be a hero's apprentice.
"If I'm with you guys, I won't lack inspiration. Let me follow you and write the most exciting adventure novel." At the same time, Deuce made up his mind.
"Hehe, in that case, I declare! The Spade Pirates are officially established! Let's charge together!"
Ace was so excited that he shouted loudly as if to strengthen his determination.
"Haha, although we all have different backgrounds and different circumstances, we all have a bright future!"
Jerry smiled and felt that the situation had stabilized. He suddenly took out his fishing rod like a magician and cast it into the sea.
"That's right, we all have a bright future!" Ace grinned and agreed loudly.
From this moment on, the Spade Pirates were officially established.
"Speaking of which... at first I just wanted to find some treasure, and then keep defeating powerful pirates to make a name for myself."
"But I found that I couldn't really become famous if I just stayed in the East Blue."
Ace manipulated the flames to propel the ship to move quickly while stating his thoughts.
"Then let's go to the Grand Line... Woohoo! A fish is about to be caught? Can you catch one at this speed? I've really made great progress!"
Jerry was about to say something, but maybe it was because his posture was right today and he got the hang of it after fishing for a while.
"The big fish is coming!"
Jerry screamed loudly while pulling the rod, but what came out with the hook was not a big fish, but a small sealed box the length of an elbow emitting a faint purple light.
[Ding! Daily tasks completed, rewards received...]
A system prompt rang in Jerry mind. In fact, He had made some gains in fishing before. Thanks to the guaranteed function of the Supreme Fishing Rod, he could get a harvest at least once a day.
If he was lucky, he may even get two or three more catch.
But Jerry basically didn't catch any fish, only all kinds of mess, even torn socks and smelly shoes came one after another.
However, it is worth mentioning that this daily fishing task can be claimed and completed repeatedly.
So even though he often caught some junk, Jerry could still comfort himself a little.
At least he could complete the system task and become stronger while accumulating fishing experience. He always believed that there would always be a fish that he would catch.
Jerry stared at the small box and made wild guesses.
"Box? This one is quite unusual. Could it be some treasure?"
"Open it quickly and see what's inside!"
Ace and the other man looked at him with shining eyes. After all, in this world, no matter if they are pirates or not, as long as they are normal humans, most of them are greedy for treasures.
Deuce had already prepared his notebook, ready to record this rare discovery for future reference.
Jerry grinned, picked up the box, and started to open it.
"Well, let me see what I have gained from today's burst of luck."
"Come on…. Give papa a legendary." Jerry exerted a little force and the box opened.
"That's all?" Looking at the things in the box, the two people beside him looked disgusted.
There was a pair of flip-flops inside, and this pair of flip-flops even came with a system introduction. Of course, this introduction was probably only visible to Jerry.
[Supreme Fast Slippers: The most durable slippers, the simplest belonging, the most intimate care. P.S. Mom's ultimate weapon of choice.]
"Could this thing come with athlete's foot?" Jerry was speechless. Although he felt disgusted, he still took it out and put it on. It was better to have it than not to have it. The shoes he was wearing originally were already in a tattered state.
The sky is vast, the sun is shining, and the water and sky are one color.
On the blue sea, there is a pirate ship sailing slowly. Although the hull is not big, the flat deck is big enough for a dozen people to move around.
In the center of the ship stands a tall mast with its sails fluttering in the wind.
Painted on the canvas was a huge pirate group pattern. The overall pattern was a card's spade logo, with a skull wearing a hat in the center. There was a smiling face and a sad face on the brim of the hat, and a flame that seemed to be burning on the top of the hat.
This ship belongs to the Spade Pirates.
After Jerry and his crew escaped from the Island, they sped across the East Blue and encountered several waves of pirates along the way.
Some pirate groups would open fire without saying a word when they encountered them, while some pirate groups would try to trick them onto the ship first to see if they had any treasure, but they were all easily dealt with by them.
The ship we are on now is the spoils after we defeated one of the pirate groups.
During this process, Jerry slowly adapted to this kind of life and the fighting of pirates.
Because every day when he had free time, he would either fish a few rounds or fight pirates, quickly becoming familiar with various fighting techniques.
Although Jerry has Armament, its hardness is not much different from the shell of a paper walnut.
But due to the nature of Haki, he could at least counter Ace, who had eaten the logia-type fruit and turned into the element of fire.
Ace was also surprised at first. He was no longer had a physical body after turning into an element, but he could still be touched by Jerry.
After the conversation, Jerry realized that this was the power of Armament Haki.
Then he remembered why Luffy cried out in pain when old man Garp beat him.
He can only say that old man Garp is indeed a mediocre teacher. Although laying the foundation is important, he didn't even explain a word about the power system.
Considering that Jerry went fishing every day along the way, even though he didn't catch any fish, he did catch a lot of strange things, so he was able to continuously complete the system tasks.
So even though Ace and the others didn't see Jerry doing any special training, Jerry's strength was indeed increasing every day.
This can be clearly seen from the daily fights between the two. Jerry could only take the beatings in the beginning and could only passively defend or dodge.
Until now, he can occasionally fight back, and sometimes even hit Ace unexpectedly.
Of course, facing the current Jerry, Ace doesn't need to be too serious, they can just compete purely for the sake of training.
On the other hand, Deuce is not as idle as these two. There are three people on the ship, and two of them are rookie who know nothing about sailing a pirate ship.
In Deuce's opinion, Ace is careless, and is not good at anything except eating.
Jerry at least has his barbecue skills, and can occasionally use his inexplicable sense of water flow to avoid some whirlpools and currents, but most of the time, he is just a vagrant, and a vagrant with an incomparable passion for fishing.
In this situation, Deuce could only temporarily take on multiple positions including navigator and helmsman to ensure the basic navigation of the ship.
Fortunately, the weather and ocean currents in the East Blue are not as changeable as those in the Grand Line, so this simple pirate group can still sail safely on the sea.
