The moment Bob mentioned the "Heavenly Gold," the entire place fell into silence. All eyes turned to Shiki, who had been called out.
"Heavenly Gold!" It was only then that everyone remembered this crucial point. Previously, they had been so captivated by Bob's feat of slaying a Celestial Dragon that they had overlooked this detail.
"On a luxurious cruise ship belonging to the Celestial Dragons, how could there not be Heavenly Gold?"
"Quick! Take me to see it!"
Before Shiki could speak, the money-obsessed John eagerly responded, his eyes filled with greed, like a lustful man staring at a naked woman.
Feeling the weight of everyone's gaze, Bob slightly turned his head and shouted toward the deck of the luxury cruise ship.
"Jojolbaf! Stop steering the ship and come here!"
Under the puzzled gazes of the crowd, a giant man emerged from the ship after a while. His hair covered his eyes, and his steps were somewhat awkward as he slowly walked over to Bob.
Bob pointed at Jojolbaf and calmly introduced him.
"Let me introduce everyone to my new crew member, Jojolbaf!"
The crowd glanced at him, gave him a quick once-over, and immediately lost interest. Giants were nothing new among the Rocks Pirates there was nothing particularly special about him. In comparison, Heavenly Gold was what truly captured their attention.
"Oh, come on, Bob! Let's go! Hurry up and take us to see the Heavenly Gold!"
Jon, seeing Bob introducing a crew member, was so anxious that he was practically jumping up and down. Who cared about new crew members at a time like this?
Hearing this, Bob raised an eyebrow and thought to himself.
'Sigh! They really have no patience. If I don't take them there soon, these pirates might just charge over themselves.'
"Alright, let's go!"
And so, under Bob's lead, the group arrived at the location where the Heavenly Gold was stored.
At the first sight of the Heavenly Gold, everyone was stunned. The expressions on the faces of the commanders were identical to Bob's when he first saw it. Some pirates' faces were filled with greed.
Even Captain Rocks himself couldn't help but twitch his eyelids, shocked by the sight of the Heavenly Gold before him.
"This truly lives up to the name of Heavenly Gold! How much is this worth?"
"I've never seen so much treasure in my life. It feels like a dream!"
"There have always been rumors that the Heavenly Gold is an immense fortune. I've imagined countless times what it might be, but seeing it in person, I realize my imagination was limited by my poverty!"
"Damn it! Those Celestial Dragons do nothing, yet they have so much wealth! Why?"
"Exactly! All Celestial Dragons deserve to die!"
"Commander Bob, killing a Celestial Dragon and seizing the Heavenly Gold is truly a role model for us pirates!"
"..."
As the pirates gazed at the dazzling array of treasures before them, they couldn't help but exclaim in awe.
Even those pirates who had amassed considerable wealth and considered themselves rich felt achingly poor, like a single hair on a cow compared to this.
Some pirates, thinking about how this wealth originally belonged to the Celestial Dragons, couldn't help but feel a stirring of resentment. The jealousy was tinged with anger, reminiscent of why the Celestial Dragons were born into such wealth while they had to struggle and fight on the seas.
Amidst this, the surrounding pirates gradually calmed down.
"Vice-commander, well done!" Bob smiled and praised.
Bob deeply despised pirates who couldn't retain their rationality in the face of treasure, as such people would do anything for wealth.
When he spoke, Bob directly referred to Kaido as the vice-commander.
"What? Vice-commander?" Whitebeard, hearing Bob's words, was startled and couldn't help but ask.
Others were equally shocked by Bob's reference to Kaido.
The news that Kaido wants to become a commander was well-known throughout the ship. No one expected that he would join Bob's crew and, moreover, become the vice-commander.
"Kaido, you say it yourself!" Bob didn't explain but threw the topic to Kaido, clearly wanting him to answer it in front of everyone.
Understanding Bob's intention, Kaido didn't hesitate and immediately declared, "I, Kaido, have officially joined Bob's division and have become the vice-commander!"
Hearing Kaido's own admission, everyone was stunned for a moment, then burst into laughter.
"Hahaha! Kaido, I never thought you'd become someone else's crew member!"
"It seems that it takes a villain to tame a villain! Bob, you're truly amazing, managing to recruit even the proud Kaido. I tried persuading him for days without success. I wonder what method you used!"
Wang Zhi and Silver Axe spoke up, genuinely impressed by Bob. Not only had he killed a Celestial Dragon and seized the Heavenly Gold, but he had also recruited Kaido—each of these feats was something they found difficult to achieve.
"Gurararara! Bob, I never thought you'd actually do it! You continue to amaze me," Whitebeard recalled his earlier words about recruiting Kaido and couldn't help but praise him as it had indeed come true within days.
"Hahaha! Just luck!" Bob laughed and replied.
At that moment, Bob felt someone's gaze fixed on him. Although other pirates were also looking at him, this gaze felt entirely different.
Bob frowned and looked toward the source of the gaze.
Suddenly, he felt a chill.
Damn it! Charlotte Linlin!
He hadn't expected her to still be persistent. Bob couldn't help but smile wryly, indeed being too outstanding as a man also brings troubles! Although somewhat uncomfortable, Bob realized he could only endure silently. He needed to find a way to change this situation, or it would become unbearable.
With a quick thought, Bob suddenly came up with a plan.
