Then, a strong man in short sleeves, pushing a small cart, slowly walked in front of everyone.
"It's Brother Ataya!" Darian voss thought to himself.
The others lowered their heads silently, not daring to look at Ataya. Everyone knew that Ataya had been on the sea all his life.
Since he was born, he has never been to land, so he has an extremely accurate control of the sea waves and wind direction, and is the "eyes" of the entire Giant Shark.
It is precisely because of this special skill that he is highly valued by the captain and intends to promote him to the third first mate.
"Hehe, you rookies, are you very excited... ..."
After some teasing, everyone's mood became more nervous.
"Come on, pick one by one in the order of the names read!" Ataya lifted the cloth, and suddenly, 20 bright Poké Balls appeared in front of everyone.
All the newcomers had hot eyes, and Darian voss looked at the two Poké Balls on the far left.
There are ten Pokéballs in each of the upper and lower rows. There is almost no difference in appearance. It is purely based on luck. The Pokéball you choose is the one you choose. There is no room for negotiation.
"The first one is Darian voss!"
When Darian voss's name was called, people of his generation showed an envious expression.
Even the old pirates who were watching the excitement showed their expected expressions.
Slowly walking to the side of the cart, Darian voss quickly glanced at it and finally chose the leftmost one in the upper row.
"I hope it will bring me good luck."
Darian voss held the Pokéball tightly in his hand and prayed in his heart.
"Next, Changdao..."
"Next, ..."
One after another, several young men whose names were called came forward to choose.
"According to the information given by Mrs. Sanju, the Pokéball closer to the left should be better."
Darian voss said in his heart.
Seeing a companion who was good to him choose the Pokéball on the right, Darian voss opened his mouth slightly, but finally did not speak.
Soon, all the Pokéballs were picked.
Darian voss couldn't wait to open the elf ball to check the elf in it.
"Haha, from today on, you are no longer newcomers. You only need to complete the afternoon assessment and you will be a pirate!"
The newcomers who were just immersed in the joy of getting the elf suddenly felt nervous.
As the order to disband was issued, the veteran pirates returned to their posts, while the newcomers were still standing on the deck. Now it was their free time!
This was also the only vacation they got after working hard for a year.
"Come out, my elf, ah, it's the proud swallow!"
"My elf is actually a sharp-toothed fish."
Everyone released their elves, but from the situation, it didn't seem good.
"Help! Ah~~"
A teenager collapsed to the ground, and on his arm, a sharp-toothed fish was biting his body frantically.
Sharp teeth, strong jaws!
The surrounding teenagers retreated in fear, not daring to get close at all. In their impression, can't the elves be commanded by just giving orders?
Darian voss had no interest in talking nonsense with these people, and had no intention of helping them.
He slowly retreated behind everyone and finally disappeared on the deck.
At this time, Darian voss quietly appeared in the bottom cabin where the newcomers usually slept.
"Come out, my first elf." Darian voss's tone was mixed with a hint of expectation.
A flash of white light, and a lobster soldier appeared!
"Hehe!" As soon as the lobster soldier appeared, he waved his claws, with a vigilant look on his face.
Darian voss tried his best to keep a gentle expression and slowly took out a blue cube from his pocket.
"This is the primary water-attribute energy cube I bought from Brother Gu Tian with great savings." Darian voss slowly squatted down.
"Come on, lobster soldier, try one and see, you must be starving, right?"
The method Darian voss adopted to subdue was very simple, that is, to lure with food. In fact, in his current situation, there was no other way.
As for the military recovery...
Looking at the half-meter-tall lobster soldier and the huge claws, Darian voss could only give up this absurd idea.
The lobster soldier looked at the blue block that exuded a charming smell, and finally the desire for food overcame the fear of the unknown.
"Hey~~"
Quickly put the energy block into his mouth with the claws.
As soon as the food entered his mouth, his alert expression immediately turned into enjoyment, his eyes unconsciously narrowed, and he made a comfortable sound.
Darian voss saw this scene and smiled confidently.
"Don't worry, lobster soldier, I still have a few here, as long as you listen to me, there will definitely be no shortage of energy blocks in the future..."
Darian voss worked very hard to draw a big cake, and the lobster soldier had never seen such a picture.
Instantly, he bowed down to his new master.
Shrimp shrimp will never surrender!
Unless food and accommodation are provided.
"Hei hei!"
The lobster soldier kept waving his claws, looking excited.
"One day in the future, we will definitely dominate the world..."
Darian voss's mouth was dry, but seeing the admiration of the lobster soldier, he became more and more expectant in his heart.
...
"Lobster soldier, show me your tricks, remember not to destroy the cabin."
Darian voss immediately began to show his majesty as a trainer.
"Hey!" The lobster soldier's body burst out with a white luster.
"It's hardening!" Black Feather said. (hard)
"Any more? Lobster Soldier."
After hearing the master's words, the lobster soldier raised his pair of pincers again and pinched the air suddenly.
"It's clamped."
"Not bad, very talented."
Naturally, Black Feather did not hesitate to praise the lobster soldier, even if the moves it used were only the most basic ones.
"Hey!" The lobster soldier jumped up and down excitedly, and when he opened his pair of pliers, he sprayed out many water-blue bubbles.
"Ahem, cough, cough~~Okay, okay, lobster soldiers, please stop." Black Feather waved his arms to burst all these bubbles.
"It should be a bubble. After all, if it is a bubble light, it should be more intense."
Kuroyu thought to himself.
The moves that Lobster Soldier has mastered so far include foam, clamp and harden.
"Hehe~"
The lobster soldier screamed twice eagerly, trying to attract Black Feather's attention.
Looking at the situation, I saw that the lobster soldier was surrounded by water and made a diving posture.
"This is!"
Just when Black Feather was excited, the water flow slowly dispersed.
The move failed!
But despite this, Kuroyu was still extremely pleasantly surprised. This was obviously an inherited move.
And it looks a bit like a jet of water. (water jet)
"Not bad, little lobster soldier, you are very talented. We will definitely become bigger and stronger in the future..."
Black Feather kept drawing the pie, and the lobster soldier's blood boiled with excitement.
But what it didn't actually tell its new master was that there was another trick in its mind, but it couldn't be used.
And that move is so weird, it actually involves a strange dance.
I don't understand, I don't understand...
Soon, the morning passed, and it was time for the newbies' assessment in the afternoon. There was also a group of teenagers on the deck, but this time there seemed to be one less person.
Black Feather saw the blood stains that had not dissipated on the deck. Even though it had been wiped off, the reddish mark was still there.
"It's the boy with sharp teeth." Black Feather thought silently.
"Looks like he's dead..."
Black Feather watched as the pool of blood gradually dragged to the edge of the boat.
The one who came to conduct the assessment for the newcomers was still the first officer, Gachan.
"Newcomers, unfortunately, there is a young man who has left even before he can subdue the elves."
Just when everyone was still sad about this, Nagata Nobu changed the subject: "But I think more people will be eliminated in this afternoon's assessment!"
Everyone looked shocked. They didn't know the consequences of elimination, but from the tone of voice, it was obvious that it wouldn't be a good thing.
"Okay, bring them up!"
Following Nagata's order, several experienced pirates slowly walked to the deck carrying the cage.
There are elves imprisoned in the cage!
"Hiss!!"
"Ho~~"
Snake bears, spiny tail worms, proud swallows, etc. are very common elves in the Hoenn region.
"Your mission today is to kill them!"
As soon as the words fell, the first officer left and ignored these newcomers.
The old pirates watched this scene with great interest, and even made bets on each other, betting on who could stand out first.
"I'll give you a beer!"
"I'll give you three boxes of cigarettes!"
"I'll go, you're so big, can't you survive this month?"
"That's right. It will be more than a month until the ship approaches land next time to replenish supplies."
Almost all the pirates were betting on the boy they were optimistic about, but without exception, Black Feather was undoubtedly the one who was betting the most.
Black Feather looked at the elf in the cage with firm eyes.
The teenagers around were trembling and did not dare to go forward. Although they were captured and trained for a year, they only did some chores and survival knowledge at sea. They had never actually killed a living creature.
During the stalemate, Kuroyu slowly took out the Poké Ball and released the lobster soldiers.
"The lobster soldiers rushed up and pinched the spiny tail worm to death!" Black Feather's tone was cold and his face was expressionless.
The lobster soldier was slightly stunned when he heard the command, and looked back at his master hesitantly.
But in the end, he still didn't dare to disobey the order and walked to the cage with his six short legs.
Lifting the proud pliers, the milky white energy slowly gathered, slowly merging in the frightened gaze of the weak spiny tail insect.
Clamp!
The vitality of spiny tail worms is gradually disappearing!
"Haha, I won, I won, give me cigarettes!"
The experienced old people on the side laughed wantonly.
Black Feather took back the lobster soldiers and silently returned to the team without saying a word.
Gradually, one after another young men came forward, commanding the newly familiar elves with trembling voices.
Some people succeed, and naturally some people fail.
And the end of failure...
"Go take his Poke Ball back and stay at the bottom as a handyman from now on."
The pirate's tone was cold. For them, only those who have completed the challenge are considered the same.
"No... no no, give me another chance! Please... give me one more chance..."
The boy's voice trembled as he kept begging.
A pirate immediately stepped forward, kicked the boy away, and cursed angrily: "You are seeking death!"
A vicious iron-clawed lobster appears!
The huge pliers were slowly raised and punched! Smashed the boy's head.
Brains splattered and blood flowed.
"ah!!!!!"
The newcomers screamed in horror.
The iron-clawed lobster looked back and saw that the newcomers were frightened by the ferocious eyes and did not dare to move any more, let alone make a sound.
They all turned into obedient quails with their heads drooped.
Black Feather silently glanced at the man's headless body and thought to himself: "The most worthless thing here is human life."
In the end, the body was slowly buried in the sea and became the nourishment of the endless sea.
...
Night, bottom cabin.
The teenagers chattered about the elf's surprise.
As for the death of the two people during the day, no one dared to mention it, and no one was willing to mention it. For them, this was an unforgettable scene.
Black Feather wandered around the restaurant, looking around as if he was looking for something.
Suddenly, his eyes lit up with joy, and he slowly stepped forward with the two wine bottles in his hands.
"Brother Ataya, I'm here to drink with you." Kuroyu picked up two bottles of wine and put them in front of the table.
Looking at the luxurious dishes on the table, I couldn't help but sigh: "Brother Ataya is worthy of being called the eyes of the giant shark. The captain really values you very much. The food is so good."
Tatama looked at the young man in front of him and said, "Brother Kuroyu, you're welcome. Eat whatever you want."
The two of them opened a bottle of wine each, chatting happily with each other about various news.
As the sea is short of supplies, supplies can only be replenished when it docks at land every once in a while.
Therefore, wine has always been a rare item.
It is also the best way for men to get closer to each other.
"Brother, Mrs. Sanju has been busy recently. I haven't seen her yet." Tatama said insinuatingly, relying on his drunkenness.
Black Feather's eyes moved slightly. The other party asked about this news. Could it be that he wanted to...
"No way, Mrs. Sanju..."
Kuroba spoke vaguely and quickly changed the subject.
As time went by, the number of people in the restaurant gradually dwindled, leaving only a few people.
At this time, the two people, who were already drunk, staggered out of the restaurant.
Their steps were a little unsteady, but they still helped each other and left.
On the occasion of parting, Tatama patted his chest and assured Kuroba: "Brother, if you encounter any difficulties or troubles, you can come to me for help. I can help you solve everything!" After saying that, Tatama patted his chest again. Black Feather's shoulder, then turned and left.
Black Feather looked at Tatama's retreating back with a strange look on his face.
However, Kuroba didn't know that after he left, Tatama, who originally looked drunk and stumbling, now became expressionless and walked steadily, with no sign of drunkenness at all.
Tatama thought to himself: "With my ability and experience, as well as my investigative capabilities at sea, maybe I have a chance to become the third chief officer?"
The reason why Tatama chose to put down his posture and take the initiative to make friends with Kuroba was because he knew that Kuroba could talk to Mrs. Sanju.
As long as Kuroba is willing to put in a good word for him at a critical moment, his chances of success in the election will be greatly increased.
