Chapter 37: Chapter 37 Recruiting SubordinatesOn the second day of staying on Beehive Island, Li Yuan was just about to go out to find a place to practice, but he found that the door had been blocked by many pirates.
"Officer Li Yuan, please let me join your fleet!!"
"Beheading Swordsman, I am willing to follow you to fight!"
"Please accept me as your little brother!!!"
"I do"
The hundreds of pirates at the door cheered when they saw Li Yuan coming out, and shouted to join Li Yuan's team.
Every cadre of the Rocks Pirates will build his own fleet and recruit subordinates. It can be said that every cadre is a mountain on the Rocks Pirates.
Of course, except for Whitebeard who doesn't like to recruit subordinates, and Charlotte Linlin who has no pirates joining, the other cadres all have a lot of pirates and fleets under their command.
As a new cadre, Li Yuan has shown extraordinary potential, so naturally many pirates want to join Li Yuan's army. Searᴄh the Nôvel(F)ire.ηet website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.
"Oh my goodness, you won't know until you see it, it's really shocking!"
Li Yuan had already thought about the possibility of pirates coming to surrender.
But what he didn't expect was that when he used his observation Haki to sweep over the crowd, he found that among these hundreds of pirates, 60% of them had ill intentions towards him.
Needless to say, among these pirates, some are undercover agents from other cadres of the Rocks Pirates, some are undercover agents of the Navy and the World Government in the Rocks Pirates, and some are pirates who have ill intentions towards him.
In this regard, Li Yuan could only be speechless, as he thought these pirates were sincerely coming to him for surrender.
"Hahahahahaha, very good, it is the right choice for you to come and join me."
"But I won't accept just anyone. You, all of you, stand up. I like you guys today, so I'll accept you guys. The rest of you, go back to where you came from."
For the pirates who came to surrender, Li Yuan selected fifty pirates who had no hostility towards him and accepted them.
He is not as different as Whitebeard. Since he has joined the Rocks Pirates, he has to behave like one.
What's more, it doesn't matter if you have more subordinates. At least you will have plenty of cannon fodder and manpower to use in the future, and you don't have to do everything yourself.
"What about me? Why am I not here?"
"Beheading Swordsman, I want to join too!!"
"And me, and me!!"

The remaining hundreds of people were very dissatisfied when they saw that Li Yuan only chose fifty of them. They came here with "sincerity", but you turned us away. This is too unreasonable.
As a result, many pirates began to make loud noises.
"snort!!!!"
Seeing this, Li Yuan said coldly, and the long sword was instantly unsheathed, and a fifty- meter-long slash passed through the crowd.
"Shhhhhhh!!!"
The twenty or so people standing in the front and making the most violent noise were all beheaded by Li Yuan with one blow. Blood gushed out and the bloody smell spread downwards.
For a moment, the originally noisy scene suddenly became silent.
"If anyone has a problem with my approach, come and ask if my sword is sharp!"
Li Yuan glanced coldly at the speechless pirates. Even though he did not use the
Conqueror's Haki, they were still shocked by Li Yuan.
Only now did they recall that this was a ruthless swordsman who chopped off thousands of pirates' heads with his sword in just a quarter of an hour.
Even though he usually appeared calm and easy to talk to, he was actually a murderous maniac. After Li Yuan made an example of him, the noisy pirates quickly left the place, fearing that they would be beheaded by a sword.
"I selected the fifty of you. Since you have joined me, do your best and follow me. I won't let you down."
"Also, choose a captain for yourselves later. After you choose, come to find me at the southernmost coast of Beehive Island."
Li Yuan said to the fifty pirates who joined him.
He took a rough look and found that these pirates were not very strong, but they were still okay, probably between captain and colonel of the Marine Headquarters.
These were considered his first group of subordinates.
After saying a few words, Li Yuan left and let them act on their own.
He doesn't have that much time to manage his subordinates, so the best way is to select a captain and let them manage themselves.
"Hahaha, my name is Zet Mari, and I intend to be the captain. If any of you don't accept my defeat, come out and compete with me. Whoever can beat me will be my opponent!" After Li Yuan left, Zet Mari stood up among the fifty people.
"Humph, you all joined the Beheading Swordsman. Why do you want to be the captain? I don't accept it. I want to challenge you."
"I don't accept it either. I should be the captain!"
"Count me in, I think I have what it takes to be captain!"
|| ||
Zet Mari's words caused objections from other pirates, and they all wanted to challenge to
be the captain.
"Hahaha, come on then, you can come one by one or all together, no matter what the challenge is, I will take it.
"Humph, I can defeat you by myself, why do I need help from others!"
"That's right, let's do it one by one. It would be unfair if we all attack together!"
|| ||
After a competition, it was no surprise that Mali won.
His strength is one level higher than other pirates, and he has mastered Armament Haki,
so other pirates are no match for him.
Eventually, Mali became the captain, ruling over the forty-nine pirates who surrendered
to Li Yuan.
"Alright, from now on I will be your captain, and we will all obey the beheading
swordsman Li Yuan!!"
Mali said excitedly after defeating all those who refused to obey.
After Mali and his forty-nine men arrived at the coast that Li Yuan mentioned, they saw a scene that made them doubt their lives.
The beheading swordsman they surrendered to was actually being beaten by a group of people with weapons. It looked like a scene of abuse no matter how you looked at it.
"It seems that Kano and the others are not strong enough. They can only barely break through my physical defense."
After his skin was tempered by his domineering aura, his outer defense became stronger and stronger. Even if Kano and the others attacked with all their strength, they could only
break his skin.
This attack efficiency seriously hindered his efficiency in using domineering aura to
temper his skin.
"All of you, stop watching. Fight me with your most powerful weapons instead of them!"
Li Yuan glanced at Mali and the others who were approaching and said.
"Boss, my name is Zet Mari, and I'm the captain of this team." After hearing Li Yuan's words, Mali and his men immediately ran over.
