Rein and Carmen arrived at the pier where Rein's ship was docked.
there he saw Kuro, X and Gin already gathered,
"captain finally you're back, is this our new friend" asked X looking at Carmen.
"yes, this is the Carmen I told you about"
hearing that the three of them's eyes sparkled, their captain often complained about food and often said if only Carmen was here everything would be easy. now that person is here so they are very curious about what Carmen's cooking tastes like.
seeing everyone's eyes Rein knew everyone's thoughts but he had to stop this useless conversation.
"okay stop talking, let's sail to southblue" said Rein.
"why are we going there captain?, why don't we go straight to Grandline" asked Gin.
"we're going to southblue to find other friends and also there is very valuable knowledge that we can get there"
hearing that everyone didn't talk anymore and immediately sailed to southblue.
the journey lasted 7 days and they had entered the southblue, now Rein stopped at the Briss kingdom to look for someone.
the crew also got off walking,
"uncle do you know about galdino?" Rein asked in a restaurant, as people say the best place to find information is in a place like this.
"galdino?, I think I know, do you mean pirate hunter?"
"yes"
"then you are lucky he is on this island, just walk this way when you see a house with a swimming pool, that's his house"
"okay thank you uncle" said Rein leaving after throwing a gold coin.
walking ten minutes Rein saw a house with a swimming pool and also saw Galdino who was sunbathing on the edge.
after recruiting Carmen, Rein immediately thought about who else could be recruited and Rein immediately targeted Galdino or in 1-2 years he would be called Mr. 3. Galdino's strength is quite good, but because he is lazy to practice, his candle fruit feels ordinary, but if Galdino joins him, Rein is sure Galdino will be strong, also Galdino has navigator skills which are suitable for Rein who doesn't have a navigator yet.
Galdino who was sunbathing opened his eyes because he felt someone in front of his house. saw a 16/17 year old teenager looking at him.
"Galdino, my name is Rein, I'm here to recruit you to join my pirates"
Galdino was stunned to hear Rein's words, a 16/17 year old teenager recruiting someone who will soon be 30 years old.
seeing him still stunned Rein repeated his words.
Galdino who was stunned came back to his senses,
" kid are you making a joke"
"no, I'm from Eastblue coming here to recruit you"
"kid do you know who I am?"
"I know who you are, that's why I came here to recruit you, so how?" asked Rein with a smile.
"ohh let me remind you again, if you refuse, I will beat you until you agree"
"hahaha, you're so funny"
Galdino laughed angrily and then attacked using his devil fruit.
Rein dodged then disappeared and reappeared in front of Galdino, before Galdino could react, Rein immediately punched his face until he was thrown 4-5 meters.
Galdino who was hit felt pain in his face, his face was full of astonishment because the teenager in front of him was very strong, in this position Galdino thought that if he continued to fight he would be destroyed.
he was a smart person, knew the position, the strong teenager in front of him might also be suitable to follow.
seeing Rein walking with a smile, Galdino was scared,
"okay..okay, I agree to join please don't hit me"
"you should have talked earlier, there was no need to hit me"
"come on with you now to the ship to introduce you to the other crew"
Rein took Galdino to the ship, on the deck there was only Kuro, Rein knew that Carmen, X, and Gin should be training.
"Kuro, let me introduce our new friend, his name is Galdino, our navigator and also the eater of the Doru-Doru no Mi devil fruit, and Galdino this is Kuro"
"Oh, are you a devil fruit eater?" Kuro was curious, he had never seen anyone eat a devil fruit.
Rein went straight to the training ground to see Kuro and Galdino who were busy talking.
when he entered Rein saw Gin and X fighting, Rein knew because the level difference was too high X would lose quickly and sure enough Gin who avoided the shot disappeared and appeared behind X, hitting him until he fell.
"Hey Gin, do you want to kill me?" shouted X in pain.
"That was just my weak punch," said Gin.
"Who would believe your lies"
Rein saw the two of them arguing again,
"Enough, let's sail again, I heard there is a shipbuilder on Taya Kingdom Island, let's sail there" said Rein.
hearing Rein's order the two of them immediately went out and sailed again.
2 months passed,
in the pirate ship's kitchen,
"From the map it looks like we will arrive in the afternoon" said Galdino.
"Good, it looks like we really have to change ships quickly, our journey is very slow" said Rein.
for more than 1 year in the One Piece world the distance between the islands is very wide until Rein feels bored on the ship, Rein sometimes thinks how Luffy's Mugiwara Crew can get to Sabaody Island in less than a year.
"I agree captain, it's just uncomfortable sleeping on this ship" said Carmen.
"That's right captain, in the past on the navy warship the rooms were big even though 2-3 people lived there, but our ship was cramped captain" said X.
Kuro, Galdino and Gin nodded in agreement.
"Let's get to Taya Island first, after we get there we recruit shipwrights after getting them we go to Northblue to catch pirates to exchange money, after that we can look for an uninhabited island in Northblue there we can train for 1 year" said Rein.
training 1 year should be enough to maximize the shipwright's skills, and build a ship that is equivalent to the Thousand Sunny, Oro Jakson.
"Well we totally agree captain" said X.
so far they have to take turns sailing which has delayed their training.
