Chapter 37: Reining the subordinates
On the second day after checking into Beehive Island, Li Yuan was about to go out to find a place to practice, but found that the door had been blocked by many pirates.
"Commander Li Yuan, please let me join your fleet!!"
"Beheading Swordsman, I am willing to fight with you!"
"Please accept my little brother!!!"
"I do"
"."
The hundreds of pirates at the door cheered immediately when they saw Li Yuan going out, and they all shouted to join Li Yuan's team.
Each 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 Lingling, who has no pirates to join, the other cadres have many pirates and fleets under their control.
As a new cadre, Li Yuan has shown extraordinary potential. Naturally, many pirates want to join Li Yuan's command.
"Good guy, you won't know until you look at it, but you will be shocked when you look at it!"
Li Yuan had already thought about the possibility of pirates coming to seek refuge.
But what he didn't expect was that when he swept away the domineering power of his knowledge, he discovered that 60% of these hundreds of pirates were malicious towards him.
Needless to say, some of these pirates were undercover agents from other officers of the Rocks Pirates, some were undercover agents from the Navy and the World Government working on the Rocks Pirates, and some were pirates who had ill intentions towards him. .
Li Yuan could only be speechless about this, thinking that these pirates came to seek refuge with him sincerely.
"Hahahahaha, very good. You made the right choice to come to me."
"But I don't accept everyone, you, you, all of you, stand up for me. Today I see you are pleasing to the eye, so I will accept a few of you. The rest of the people, where did they come from, will go back to where they are. "
For these pirates who came to seek refuge, Li Yuan selected fifty pirates who were not hostile to him and accepted them.
He will not be as unconventional as Whitebeard. Now that he has joined the Rocks Pirates, he must behave as he should.
What's more, it doesn't matter if you recruit more subordinates. At least there will be a lot of cannon fodder and a lot of manpower available in the future, so you don't have to do everything yourself.
"What about me? Why don't you have me?"
"Behead the Swordsman, I want to join too!!"
"And me, and me!!"
"."
The remaining few hundred people were very dissatisfied when they saw that Li Yuan only chose fifty of them. They came to seek refuge with "sincerity", but you turned us away. This is unreasonable. .
As a result, many pirates began to make loud noises.
"snort!!!!"
Seeing this, Li Yuan made a cold sound, unsheathed his sword instantly, and slashed through the crowd with a fifty-meter long slash.
"Tsk tsk tsk!!!"
The twenty or so people standing in front who made the most noise were all decapitated by Li Yuan's slash. Blood spurted out, and the bloody aura scattered down.
For a moment, the originally noisy scene suddenly became silent.
"If anyone has any objections to what I'm doing, come and ask if my sword is sharp!"
Li Yuan glanced at the speechless pirates indifferently. Even if he didn't use his domineering aura, they were still shocked by Li Yuan.
Only now did they recall that this ruthless decapitation swordsman had cut off thousands of pirate heads with one sword in a quarter of an hour.
Even though he usually behaves calmly and makes people think he is easy to talk to, in fact, he is a murderous maniac. After Li Yuan killed the chicken to scare the monkeys, the noisy pirates all left the place quickly, fearing that they would be killed with a sword.
"You fifty people were chosen by me. Since you have surrendered to me, then do your best and follow me. You will not be disappointed."
"Also, you can choose a captain later. After you choose, come to me on the southernmost coast of Beehive Island."
Li Yuan said to the fifty pirates who joined him.
He took a quick look and found that these pirates were not very strong, but they were passable, ranging from captain to colonel at the navy headquarters.
This can be considered his first batch of subordinates.
After saying a few words, Li Yuan left here 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 are dissatisfied, stand up and compete with me. I will accept whoever can beat me!"
After Li Yuan left, Zette Mari stood up among the fifty people.
"Hmph, they all took refuge in the Beheading Swordsman. Why should you be the captain? I don't accept it and I want to challenge you."
"I'm not convinced either. I should be the captain!"
"Count me in, I think I have the strength to be the captain!"
"."
Zet Mari's words aroused the rebuttal of other pirates, who all wanted to challenge him to become captain.
"Hahaha, come on then, whether you go up one by one or together, no matter what the challenge situation is, I will take it.
"Hmph, I can defeat you by myself, why do I need help from others!"
"That's right, let's come one by one. It wouldn't be fair if we come together!"
"."
After a competition, it was no surprise that Mali won.
His strength is one step higher than other pirates, and he has mastered the armament Haki, making other pirates no match at all.
In the end, Mari became the captain and ruled the forty-nine pirates who surrendered to Li Yuan.
"Okay, from now on I will be your captain, and we all obey the orders of the beheading swordsman Li Yuan!!"
Mari said excitedly after defeating those who were dissatisfied.
After Mali brought the forty-nine men to the coast that Li Yuan mentioned, they saw a scene that made them all doubt their lives.
The beheading swordsman they surrendered to was actually being beaten by a group of people with weapons. This looked like a scene of being tortured.
"It seems that Kano and the others are a bit weak. Even my physical defense can only be broken through."
After tempering his skin with domineering energy, his outer defense became more and more powerful. Even if Kano and the others attacked with all their strength, they could only break through the skin.
This kind of strike efficiency seriously hindered the efficiency of his skin tempering with domineering energy.
"You guys, stop watching. Instead of them, use your most powerful means to hit me!"
Li Yuan glanced at Mali and the others who were approaching and said.
"Boss, my name is Zet Mari, and I am the captain of this team."
After hearing Li Yuan's words, Mali and his men immediately ran over.
