Hachinosu Island.
Coast.
Edward Newgate stood imposingly, as he scanned the newcomers with eyes full of scurinty.
" Gurararhahaha, what a rowdy bunch."
He calmly enjoyed the gazes of admiration, and honestly felt good.
The current Newgate, and while was just beaten by society (Rocks), was still full of hope to the future, and hoped very much that within this bunch of guys, he could find a confidant.
Suddenly, Newgate's body shivered, and his body took a step back instinctively.
When he understood what happened, his heart was full of shock.
His eyes hurriedly kept inspecting the crowd, desperately looking for the source of his unease, only to be met by an eerily calm sunset red eyes.
A short haired blond man in a black clock, pants and boots of the same color. His eight abdominal muscles were quite ripped through the gap of the clock, about 2.10m, a white fox mask.
While his breath seems to be a strong player in Vice Admiral level, nothing special, but Newgate, a monster, only believe in his instinct.
'This guy is dangerous. Either he is hiding his power, or a trump card enough to kill me. Devil fruit? Interesting...'
"Gurararhahaha, Interesting, Interesting... O'y little brats, follow me..."
Newgate quickly regain his composure, as he led the crowd towards the center island.
Noah in white mask, gave Newgate a deep look.
As for the mask?
Ask Shakky.
" To protect you"
She said with a smile.
Well, not that he mind. The great thing about this world is that no one care about you hiding your face.
Still,
'It's really not easy. Just a millisecond between my power-up and hiding my breath, but he still sense it. What a frightening beastly instinct. But there is no need to worry, I'm strong now, and Newgate is not a person with a lot of nonsense.'
Full of curiousity, he started scanning Newgate.
Second, two and three...
Noah was full of surprises.
'What's wrong?'
Closing his eyes, he could see that the model projected in his head was about 5% complete because of completing the Haki system.
But soon, he found a very important thing.
Can't scan Devil Fruit easily?
It seems that Devil Fruit is a mystery of Higher Dimension, which make him full of vigilance towards World Government.
At most, he can imitate the power, create artificial devil fruits better than vegabunk, but still imitation.
Devil fruit is not just power container, it's a whole system.
'Only a Bronze life rank can easily decipher this thing.'
The reason for this conclusion is the basic stats of Bronze life rank.
Speed of light, star buster, able to spy on the world non-material rules, and decipher it.
'It seems my guess was right. Joining Rocks can help a lot in my research on Devil fruit in the initial period.'
The crowd soon arrived at their location. Noah raised his eyes, only to be met by Newgate curious eyes.
He couldn't help but twitch the corner of his mouth. If it weren't for the canon, I would have reasons to doubt your orientation.
Taking a look at his surrounding, it was an arena-like stage.
Weapons thrown all around the ground.
Dry blood almost dyed the whole stadium، and at the center, a huge stone skull, and above this skull, seven shadows could be seen, looking down the horde with condensed eyes.
"Hahahahaha, Captain, to think that you are so charming. Thousands of pirates came to join you."(Shiki) licked shamelessly.
"Bunch of weaklings, Hiccup..."(Captain John) said in disdain.
"I don't know if there are good cooks within those people."(Linlin) with saliva spreading all around.
"Is that the boy, Shakky?"
A very strong voice asked.
"Yes captain. It's good, isn't?"
Shakky tone was full of smugness.
"Barely a cadre level..."(Wang Zhi) tone was full of degradation.
Shakky looked at the Chinese looking man with a bad look.
"Well, you can't always expect to recruit the strong, after all, the strong still has his pride."(Silver Axe) said as a matter of fact, while his tone was full of depression.
"A very good seed."
Rocks said with deep tone. His eyes full of surprises.
The other crew mates looked at Rocks with a surprise. Even Shakky was taken back.
She knew that Noah is good. From a normal person to a strong player took only three to four months, but compared with those monsters here, he could only be called Elite.
Faced with the inquiring gazes of his subordinates, Rocks said slowly.
"While his power is barely acceptable, what I admire more is his potential. His body is full of explosive power and vitality. It's not even worse than Linlin body.."
"Four years... Just four years is enough to carve him to a super cadre."
Rocks said with excitement, and was in a very good mood.
The crew looked at each other, and everyone of them has calculation in his heart.
Maybe only Newgate and Shakky were the ones that really didn't mind Rocks as a captain.
Rocks sneered,
'These rebolious bunches needs more educational programs.'
The swarm of pirates down looked at the cadres standing above with a look of worship and awe.
'Really know how to pretend. I thought only Chinese do this.'
Noah couldn't help but vomit inwardly.
Newgate looked at Noah with admiration.
From his point of view, looking at others with worship and awe is equivalent to having no future.
Only people with strong will and dreams have a chance to stand firm on this dangerous sea.
"Start the trial."
Rocks's deafening voice made the crowd almost dizzy. Some even lost their consciousness.
Noah looked at Rocks above with surprise.
'Really not to be underestimated. To fuse his voice with Overlord Haki!'

Watching the surroundings, some clever mobs already grasp the essence of this trial, and started making knifes.
Noah didn't care about the surroundings. He was immersed in his new discovery.
Due to Rocks actions, a lot of determined pirates resisted hopelessly, and somehow invoked a new attribute to Noah's eyes.
'Will? I almost forget about this. It's almost a plug-in existence. The protagonist always defeat others because his will indestructible.'
'There are even some theories in his past life, that losing will is equal to losing Haki.'
Suddenly, he felt someone poking his right shoulder.
Noah turned curiously, only to find a little giant about 7 meters hacking his shoulders with a huge axe.
Sadly, he couldn't even penetrate his skin defense. Noah ignored him, and continued to analyze.
'Will is related to the soul of a person. Not only this, it can actually elevate the energy reserves and raise a person potential.'
'No wonder someone like Coby could actually grow stronger... So dreams really is needed to evoke this hidden attribute.'
He summed up.
But what he doesn't know was that his actions shocked everyone.
Rocks laughed exaggeratedly, while the other crews looked solemn.
Except Linlin, no one could take that kind of attack without Haki, but the attack can't even left any traces on his body.
That's about 3000 ton of power!
The little giant felt humiliation. His eyes grew red and shined with cruelety.
His axe cut towards Noah's neck with a supersonic speed.
He used all his powers and armament haki, almost doubling the previous attack power.
Unfortunately, still the same.
Noah looks annoyed.
His eyes met with the giant, and he only uterred a word coldly.
"Begone..."
And before the giant could register what happened, he felt a pain in his abdomen.
His internal organs turned to dust.
His body seems to lost the sense of gravity, and the surrounding seems to be retreating rapidly.
After flying for three to four km, his body made a violent contact with a small hill, still didn't stop.
The hill was penetrated, and the guy was nowhere to be seen.
The pirates all around looked at Noah in awe, and no one dared to approach him, which gave Noah a peace of mind.
'I can't expect Newgate to keep my secret, so it's better to show some strength. It can even reduce the possibility to be doubted by others.'
Newgate nodded his head, as if his previous conjunction was right.
Shakky was quite amazed.
"This is what the captain said. Really a monster physique."
She was quite elated.
"Husband, my husband..."
Linlin eyes shined with splendor ad she kept bubbling 'husband'
Others all looked towards the young man on the crowd. His presence seems to even overshadow their cadres.
'Can't be underestimated!!'
Their collective thought. Although he showed no mastery of Haki, no one can say with confidence that he can kill him.
Rocks laughed happily.
"I'll train him personally."
While they were unwilling, no one said a word.
Rocks already wanted to take him as a his future right hand.
Clean background, young and being his master, he was confident to brainwash him into a confidant.
The battle soon came to an end.
Thousands of corpses thrown all over, and blood dyed the ground again.
Only 35 person survived.
Looking at this tragic scene, Noah who finally got a very clear perception of the magical uses of 'Will', couldn't help but sigh.
'Human life is so cheap...'
The weakest about Rear Admiral and the strongest is Vice Admiral level.
Two of them seems to hide their true powers, with ghosts in their hearts.
'CP0? If so, there are a lot of uses of them.'
Noah couldn't help but think about how much benefit he will get from these two poor ghosts.
The two mentioned couldn't help but shiver, as they looked around in daze.
Soon, the 35 people were dragged to meet the main crew.
The cadres started arguing about the new members division, but no one dared to recruit Noah.
'It seems my gamble was right. Only by gaining Rocks appreciation can I have enough power and freedom on this ship. Additionly, I have no mood nor time to play Game of Thrones with those idiotic cadres.'
His sixth sense started analyzing, and he found that Devil fruit research seems to advance more rapidly.
'It seems only by having a lot of samples can I rapidly decipher this system. It's almost 50% of this world knowledge. If I want to advance to Bronze level and activate my 'world travel's talent, I need a lot of time and effort.'
'It seems that 'place' is worth visiting...'
....
"Your name is Noah, right? From now on, you are a cadre of Rocks Pirates."
Rocks patted Noah's shoulders, and deep down was shocked.
'What a tough body.'
He used his whole body power, no haki, but still can't shake him.
Rocks shivered with excitement.
'With him on board, my dream had another guarantee.'
If Noah heard him, he would pat his head in turn, and told him with a warm voice, full of sympathy.
'"It's a hard life..."
