Jin's POV
After meeting with Koujiro, Jin walked back towards the inn where he and the other men he did the heist stayed.
Arriving at the inn, he gathered all the men in his room to talk about the offer Koujiro gave him to sail with him as pirates.
"Alright, I gathered you all here because Koujiro, the man who cleaned up the Royal Palace by himself, gave me an offer."
Jin said to the men in his room after all of them gathered.
"He has a ship, and he invited us to sail with him. I accepted the offer, I'm just telling you guys this to ask if you want to join us or not, it's your choice to make, and he also can help us selling the loots from the high town."
Jin continued and told the men about Koujiro's offer.
"Do you believe in this man, Jin?"
One of the men raised his hand and asked Jin the question.
"I believe him, he will kill people without hesitation I can tell you that, but he kills with a reason, and he also came from the same place I am, so I can guarantee you that he's a decent man."
Jin said, assuring the men.
"I'll join as long as I get paid."
Another man said then the rest nodded along agreeing with him.
"You guys can talk about that with the man himself tomorrow, he docked his ship on the gulf near the grey terminal."
Jin said to them, the men just nodded then got back to their own room.
The next day in the morning, Jin woke up and did his usual stuff, doing some exercise then some breakfast, he met with the others at the Great Gate right before the grey terminal.
Entering the grey terminal together, they picked up the carriages where they put the loots in. After a few minutes of driving their carriages to the gulf area where they agreed to meet, they saw a black ship with black sails docked near the inner gulf.
Driving the carriages closer to the ship, they got near the stern of the ship where the ship's name was written, the ship was called....
"Queen Anne's Revenge"
All of them said at the same time after noticing the ship's name.
"Permission to board captain!"
Jin shouted towards the ship after he got next to the ship.

Koujiro's POV
°I'm Detecting ten people approaching the ship.°
The Helper warned Koujiro and woke him up from his sleep. Koujiro got off from the hammock while grunting from the headache he got from the hangover. He pulled out a bucket of water from his inventory and washed his face to freshen up.
"Permission to board captain!"
Koujiro heard someone shouted from below the ship, he walked towards the starboard side and noticed Jin with his men were on the ground below his ship with two carriages with them.
"Permission granted."
Koujiro simply replied after seeing who was asking for permission to get on the ship.
Jin then climbed up the ship with his men after hearing Koujiro reply.
"Rather an odd ship you got here, capt. It suits you though, hahaha."
Jin said while shaking Koujiro's hand after noticing the bones' decorations up close.
"Funny Jin, is that all of your loot?"
Koujiro said while pointing at the two carriages.
"Yeah that's all of them, but before you take them, the others want to talk with you about something."
Jin said while gesturing a hand sign of money to Koujiro.
"Well, say what you want."
Koujiro turned to the others asking what they wanted, making them a little bit intimidated by him with his almost two meters height and what he did yesterday.
"W-well, we are wondering if we will get paid by sailing with you."
One of them grew a pair of balls then asked about wages.
"Duh, of course you dumb assess will get paid, if you do your work properly that is. What do you expect? I'll talk to you all about how fun our adventures will be and fulfilling our dream type shits? Of course not, we're pirates, we pillage and rob and some other shits, then we go to the grand line to join the big boys up there."
"Fair enough."
Said the man with a pair of balls.
"Alright, prepare to sail you dumb fuckers, we're going around the island to get some supplies on Foosha village."
Koujiro said then jumped off the ship to put the carriages into his inventory.
"Yoo … Jin! You want to eat some horses?"
Shouted Koujiro after storing the carriages into his inventory.
"You can cook horses?"
Jin replied while looking down from the ship.
"No, you?"
"No, just let the horses go then."
"Alright, I'm coming up."
Koujiro let go the horses then jumped back onto the ship and headed towards the helm with Jin following behind him.
"Queen Anne's Revenge heh, kinda cool name."
Said Jin while standing beside Koujiro.
"I know right, she's also a cool ship, I'll show you around later."
Replied Koujiro while steering the ship out of the gulf.
Arriving on the shore near Foosha village, the crew gathered on the deck after docking the ship on a small pier.
"Here is some money to buy supplies, we need supplies for around a month on the sea. I and Jin will stay on the ship to guard the ship, don't make any trouble while you're in the village."
Koujiro said then handed nine million berries to the crew, making them hold one million each to buy supplies.
"Don't forget to buy some liquor."
Koujiro said before the men got off the ship. Taking Jin around the ship, he led Jin into the room where the flamethrower was located, the room was in the lower deck and on the bow side.
After a few minutes of showing Jin around the ship, they got into the captain's cabin. The cabin had a normal small bed, a couch on the side and a table for maps in the middle of it, but on top of the table, there's a large sword embedded into the table.
*Whistle*
"Would you look at that, nice sword there capt, I never thought you are also a broad sword guy?"
Jin whistled after seeing the broad sword that was embedded into the table.
"I'm not a fan to be honest, but I would use a broadsword, besides the sword is just a bonus that came with the ship."
Koujiro replied then pulled out the sword from the table, the sword hummed when it was pulled out from the table simultaneously the ship was shaking the moment the sword got pulled from the table.
"Well, that was weird."
Jin said after the ship stopped shaking.
"Remember when I said something about magic?"
Koujiro said having a good idea after finding out what sword he's holding right now.
"Yeah, is this one of those magic?"
Jin was curious about what would Koujiro show to him now.
"Let's head outside, you'll see something cooler than the thing you saw at the beach."
Koujiro said while walking out of the cabin.
"Pay attention to the ship."
Koujiro said then hold up the sword while focusing to make the ship and its components move. After focusing on the sword for a few seconds, a rope on the deck began to move on its own, not long after everything on the ship started to move on its own.
"Damn that's cool, what kind of sword is that?"
Jin was amazed by what just happened.
"It's called the Sword of Triton, the one who wields it can control all vessels at sea."
Koujiro replied while sheathing the sword on its huge scabbard then put it into his inventory.
"Neat power, it would be really helpful in a battle."
"Definitely helpful, that's why we're stocking for a month of supplies, we're going to plunder any ships that we can find hehehe."
Koujiro laughed while rubbing both of his hands like an evil mastermind.
After showing Jin around the ship, they sat down on the deck drinking and playing cards while waiting for the crew to come back.
A few hours later the crew came back from the village carrying various supplies with them, after storing the supplies away Koujiro gathered the crew again on the deck.
"Alright, now that we have supplies, we need to arrange who will do what task around the ship, who can steer and navigate a ship?"
Koujiro asked the crew after they gathered on the deck.
Jin and another man raised their hand indicating that they somewhat know how to steer or navigate a ship.
"Jin is a no, you're on crow's nest duty, here's a telescope."
Koujiro gave Jin the crow's nest duty then handed him a telescope which he just bought when they were playing cards.
"You, what's your name?"
Koujiro asked the other man who raised his hand.
"My name is Robert capt."
Replied Robert.
"Alright, Robert is our Sailing Master, for the rest ask Jin since he's the First Mate and knows all of you longer than me, after Jin appointed your task set sail immediately and head south, I will be in my cabin if you need me. Here ... Robert catch, remember, south."
Koujiro said then threw a compass towards Robert before entering his cabin.
