"Seventeen, to be exact."

Baby-5 thought for a moment and corrected, "But most of you refused without any interest, and only three of them are still in the inspection period, and they haven't officially joined yet." ”

"That's nature."

Xia Nuo chuckled, "Those guys, basically ninety percent of them are just speculators who tend to be inflammatory, and their minds are not pure, even if their strength is not bad, recruiting them is just a burden." ”

As for the three pirate groups that are still in the investigation period, they have a good impression on him, and several captains have also preliminarily passed his test, after all, under his perception of what he has seen and heard, it is difficult for anyone to lie successfully without a red face and a heartbeat.

Whether he was a crooked speculator or a fan who sincerely revered him, he could easily tell with a little means.

And these three pirate groups also have their own characteristics.

Among them, the largest is the "Raptor Pirates", which has a huge scale of 3,000 people.

Most of them come from a country that has been destroyed in the New World, and the elite members are basically the original guards of this country, and the captain "Raptor" Sachs is the leader of this guard.

After the country perished due to force majeure factors, in order to feed the surviving people, Sachs led this pirate group composed of guards to the sea, and has been in the New World for a year and a half, and the bounty has slowly accumulated to 400 million Bailey.

For this pirate group, Xia Nuo has a good impression, the crew is usually more disciplined, and they do not have the casual energy of ordinary pirates, but they retain a bit of the iron-blooded temperament of the army, if they are cultivated in the future and get along for a long time, they will undoubtedly become the mainstay of the combat force under his command.

The other two pirates are both taking the elite route, although their numbers are far inferior to the Raptor Pirates, but they are also not weak in overall strength, which is enough to fill the weakness of the middle-level cadres of the Tempest Fleet.

The one with the smallest number of people is called the "Exploding Pirates", as the name suggests, Captain Beth is the one with the ability to explode fruits, with a bounty of 270 million Bailey, a supernova who broke all the way from the North Sea to the New World, there are only a dozen people on the ship, and more than half of them have a bounty of more than 50 million.

It's also interesting to say, Xia no remembers that the last Exploding Fruit Ability was killed by his own hands on the side of Whiskey Mountain more than four years ago.

He originally thought that according to the inertia of history, the next owner of the fruit should be the turn of MR.5, the waste nose man, but he didn't expect to end up in the hands of another person, and in the end he became his alternate subordinate.

As for the last pirate group in the observation period, it is called the "Flute Pirates", and the whole ship has about 100 people, all of whom are from the flower country of the New World.

And the captain's name is also quite strange, just the opposite of the name of the pirates, called Piccolo Aso, which made Xia Nuo's first reaction when he saw the other party at that time was to see if this guy's skin was green and whether there were two tentacles on the top of his head......

However, although the name is a bit strange, this piccolo Aso's strength is still good, at the age of eighteen or nineteen, he once defeated the vice admiral of the Navy's headquarters, and the bounty was as high as 300 million Bailey.

What's even more commendable is that this piccolo Aso is also a natural musician, proficient in all kinds of tubular instruments, which makes Xia Nuo suddenly think about it.

Well, I've been practicing shakuhachi for several years and still can't understand it.,If you want to continue to study in the future.,It's finally settled......

……

"What do you mean by this Bartow Club?"

At this moment, Baby-5 tentatively asked, "If you don't need these guys, why don't I contact Sister Monet right now and ask her to send them over." ”

"No, just let them come and try it."

Xia Nuo had already wiped off his sweat, and as soon as he took off the towel, Baby-5, dressed in a black maid outfit, immediately picked it up, and helped Xia Nuo all the way to the rattan chair on the balcony on the second floor and sat down.

At this time, eight days have passed since the end of the Tundra War, and Xia Nuo's physical recovery progress is faster than expected, and he has been able to do some basic rehabilitation training in the training room, but the injury has not completely healed after all, and his body is weak, and he still needs to recuperate.

So Xia Nuo didn't specifically refuse Baby-5's service, and under normal circumstances, he would definitely not be happy to be taken care of like this.

"Bartolomeo ......"

Half-reclining on a wicker chair, Xia Nuo's eyes flickered slightly, recalling the memories associated with the name in his mind.

In my impression, in the original timeline, this guy admired Luffy because he witnessed Luffy's courage to face death calmly on the execution table, and the scene when lightning struck Luffy's execution table and escaped death, and since then he has become Luffy's No. 1 brain-dead fan.

But now, it's clearly different.

I don't know if it was affected by the butterfly storm he set off, this guy actually went to sea four years early, ran all the way to the new world, and somehow became his own avid admirer.

"It shouldn't be......"

Xia Nuo touched the stubble on his chin and fell into deep thought, he didn't remember where he had seen each other, after all, he left the East China Sea, but it was more than four years ago, and he had never been to this guy's hometown of Rogue Town.

In the case of never meeting each other, it stands to reason that you shouldn't have such a fanatical worship mentality towards yourself like you did for Luffy, right?

Even Cavendish and Luo, who have joined the Fleet, although they all have great respect for him, they all have their own reasons.

The former was because he had met him in the Chambord Islands three years ago and had received his own swordsmanship instruction, while the latter's words were fundamentally related to his killing of Doflamingo and avenging Corazon for Luo in disguise.

At this moment, he naturally unconsciously forgot what an indelible impression his three-year experience as a pirate hunter in the Barati Restaurant had left on the people of the East China Sea.

I won't remember that when he beheaded the head of Colonel Mouse in full view of everyone, there was a grass-green cockscomb-headed boy who was still a gangster, and he looked at him from afar with reverence and admiration all the time......

"Captain."

Just as Chano was groaning, Dramp's voice suddenly came from the watchtower, and when he looked up, he saw that the latter was holding a monocular, frowning and looking into the distance, and reported in his mouth:

"Look at seven o'clock, and there's a couple of strange ships about fifty nautical miles away, which seem to be approaching us."
