"Okay, but don't kill them, X this is also the right time to see your training progress"
"Okay captain, Gin go ahead I'll back you up from here"
"Okay"
Gin immediately ran with his two tonfa, yes Gin's weapon is still like in the original story,
Kuro who saw Gin started to attack "be careful the enemy is starting to attack"
Before the black cat crew could dodge, Gin's tonfa had already knocked the ground making a 4 meter hole which caused many black cat crew to faint. Gin didn't stop there he went straight to Kuro, the other Black Cat pirate crew fell shot by X.
Seeing many of his men fall Kuro was angry, immediately using his signature Nukiashi technique, Kuro immediately disappeared which then appeared an attack from Gin's right, Gin parried it and then attacked back.
The fight between the two lasted quite a while where Kuro attacked and Gin defended while waiting for the right moment to attack back.
Kuro who attacked but couldn't hurt Gin was a bit frustrated
'Damn this guy is really strong'
Gin who had memorized the attack pattern guessed to the right of his body, Kuro who attacked from the right was immediately hit by Gin's attack, Kuro was thrown up to 10 meters.
The injured Kuro got up "you're really strong"
Gin smiled hearing Kuro's words "Of course, so how? Still fighting?"
"No, so you want me to be your pirate crew, but why?"
"Didn't I say you have talent, which fits my pirates, so what's your answer?, oh yeah don't refuse, otherwise Gin will beat you up until you agree"
Kuro who was thinking and almost agreed felt angry, but helpless "Okay I'll join, can these people be saved, don't kill them"
"Of course, we just want you to join"
Rein and the others left Kuro's former crew still lying down. Kuro had told Jango that he was leaving the crew, let him lead.
Rein made another trip towards Loguetown, he heard that there was a cooking competition there, Rein believed that Carmen was there.
Currently X was outside with Kuro steering the ship
"Captain there is a navy ship there"
Rein and Gin also came out hearing that,
seeing Rein come out X said "should we avoid?"
"Why should we avoid?, even though we are pirates, we don't have our own ship, we don't have a Joly Roger, we don't have a bounty, at most they think we are a merchant ship" said Gin.
hearing that X realized, even though they were pirates but until now they didn't have anything to be called pirates "that's right, ehh captain when will we have a ship and others?"
"Hmmm, Joly Roger actually we can install it now but my ship wants to wait until Waterseven"
Seeing the story of Luffy and his friends who had to part with Merry Go, he decided to build another ship in Waterseven, the current ship is enough to reach Waterseven, the ship that Sein is using now is a ship that he bought in shells city.
but building a ship requires money, after thinking about it Rein will catch pirates on jaya island where pirates gather.
listening to Rein Gin and the others confused, X asked "why build it in waterseven captain?"
"it's okay just a secret reason, so let's quickly find our friend carmen to join us"
even though confused and their questions were unanswered they could only answer "yes, captain"
on a navy ship,
"sergeant Glas, there is a ship in front"
"it looks like a fishing boat, there's no pirate flag there"
"if there isn't, don't mind, we have to hurry to Conomi Island"
"yes sergeant"
the two ships passed each other and just passed by.
seeing the navy ship that was getting further away Rein said "we should go back to training again"
"okay captain, now it's your turn Gin, I'll train with the captain"
before Gin answered X had already run after Rein.
"heisshh even though I felt a breakthrough in my fighting style"
kuro who was beside him couldn't help but ask, for 2 months on the ship he had seen them training but they were in a special room and every time Gin and X came out they always had a satisfied reaction on their faces, and also felt that they were more frightening.
"Gin what's in that room?, I just entered that place normally"
hearing that Gin looked at him for a long time before speaking "hmmm? you really don't meet the requirements"
"what do you mean"
"you don't have a sense of belonging to our pirates so how can you enter and train"
Gin knew this from X joining the crew, when he first joined he couldn't train like Kuro, according to Gin because they didn't have feelings for these pirates.
"what are you saying?, I've clearly joined and consider myself a pirate here"
Gin looked back at Kuro "hahaha, you don't need to defend yourself, you have to know what's in your heart, I also advise you to let it go, like it and consider yourself part of these pirates. otherwise you will lose"
Kuro was silent seeing Gin had left, he did feel forced and had no feelings for these pirates.
but after hanging out and being together, he felt that these pirates were good for him, it was just that his high ego felt that the former captain had become an ordinary pirate member.
but seeing them getting stronger every day and him being left behind, kuro felt that he had to let go of his ego.
