Chapter 20: Sabo successfully recruits Ace!

"Third brother, don't you dare steal my roasted leg!!"

Kyle kicked Ace away, grabbed a roasted leg from the table in front of him, and looked at Ace.

"The best things should be enjoyed by the eldest brother first, understand?"

As he spoke, Kyle looked at Sabo and Luffy again.

"Second brother, youngest brother, you two should also learn to be considerate of your eldest brother!"

After saying that, Kyle took a bite of the roasted leg in his hand, a look of enjoyment on his face.

This scene immediately made Luffy and his two companions grit their teeth in anger, their eyes blazing with fury.

"Damn it, the first thing I'll do when I surpass you is beat you to a pulp!!"

Ace spoke fiercely.

However, Kyle just glanced at him dismissively.

"Wait until you surpass my strength?"

"Heh~ Tonight, prop your pillows up a bit; maybe you can fulfill this unrealistic wish in your dreams!"

With Kyle becoming the eldest of the four, Luffy and his two companions also determined their victor.

The final result was that Sabo slightly outperformed Ace and became the second-best.

Ace is stronger than Luffy, so he's the third oldest.

So Luffy would naturally be the fourth.

Although Luffy trained with Kale for a while, it was still too short a time.

Even after eating the Gum-Gum Fruit, he still couldn't erase the three-year age gap between himself and Ace and the others.

Let alone Luffy, even if Kyle hadn't obtained the system and received all the subsequent enhancements, he might not have been a match for Ace and the others.

These guys are quite talented.

But now...

They're all noobs!!

He could beat those three brothers to a pulp with just one hand!

Watching the three people snatching food from him, Kyle leaned back in his chair, slightly reclining, and asked Ace and the other two:

"Ace, Sabo!"

"Do either of you have any thoughts about joining the Navy?"

"navy?"

Ace and Sabo both paused in unison and turned their heads curiously.

"That's right! The Navy!"

"As you all know, that old man Garp is a Marine, and Luffy and I are also Marines!"

After exchanging a glance, the two swallowed the food in their mouths. Ace then asked:

What are the benefits of joining the Navy?

Upon hearing this, Kelton immediately smiled.

Upon hearing Ace's answer, Kyle knew that Ace at this time did not yet have the idea of ​​becoming a pirate like in the original work.

In that case, it would be much easier for him to recruit Ace into the Navy.

So he smiled and said:

"The benefits are numerous!"

"First of all, once you join the Navy, you'll never have to worry about what to eat again. You'll get to eat delicious meals every day, and they'll be free!"

"Besides that, the Navy provides a monthly salary, and there's extra income from missions!"

"How much you can pocket depends on how bold you are!"

As he spoke, Kyle reached into his pocket, and when he pulled his hand out, several stacks of peals appeared in his hand.

Looking at the three dumbfounded people, he said:

"Here's a million Berries. Have you ever seen so many Berries?"

Ace and Luffy both shook their heads violently, while Sabo did not shake his head, but his eyes still showed shock.

Sabo, being of noble birth, had naturally seen many Pele, and perhaps even more.

But the problem is that he himself has never owned so many!

Especially after they came here and lived with Ace, the two brothers didn't have a single Berry. They would even secretly take Dadan's Berry when they went to the village to buy things.

Kyle casually tossed several stacks of pewter to the group.

"These are yours!"

"All I can say is, if you join my navy, you'll never lack for pewter coins! You'll live the high life every day!"

Kyle smiled.

These peals were all taken from the ship's hold when he stole the rubber fruit.

Moreover, the small amount he took out was only a drop in the ocean compared to the treasure he had stolen.

Pele alone has hundreds of millions, and he also has a lot of gold and jewelry.

Kyle felt no remorse whatsoever for taking their treasure.

Although he was a naval officer, he was not as noble as some people think.

My quality of life definitely can't be low!

The group caught the pele that was tossed to them, their eyes filled with a daze.

"This...this is for us?!"

Ace was a little dazed.

"What else?"

Kyle countered with a question.

"That's not all. Follow me, and if you ever run out of Pele, just ask me for it!"

"Enough for everyone!!"

"If we don't have enough, we'll just rob some!!!"

"In short, following your big brother will definitely not treat you unfairly!"

If it's not enough, just grab it?!

Ace and Sabo both looked a little bewildered.

Is this something a navy officer should say?

but--

It smells so good!!

Ace and Sabo exchanged a glance, their eyes filled with determination. They both looked at Kyle and shouted:

"Big brother! We're willing to join the Navy!!"

Kyle smiled.

At the same time, Kyle heard a system notification in his ear.

[Congratulations, host, on recruiting Ace and Sabo! The reward has been sent to your system space. Please check it promptly!]

"Um?!"

Kyle looked slightly taken aback.

Why did the reward arrive so quickly this time? Wasn't the reward only given when Luffy officially joined the Navy when we recruited him?

……

After thinking for a while, Kyle still couldn't figure out what was going on.

This stupid system didn't even give any warnings, it's garbage!!

But none of that matters. In fact, the current situation is better for him, as he no longer needs to go through those cumbersome procedures.

Kyle's smile widened.

As he expected, recruiting Ace and Sabo at this time was not difficult.

Of course, a large part of the reason could also be that they had just become sworn brothers.

The two brothers were in the Navy, their grandfather was also in the Navy, and with the benefits Kyle provided, everything seemed effortless with these multiple advantages combined.

Suddenly, as if he had thought of something, Ace's face showed a hint of struggle, and he looked at Kyle and asked:

"If we join the Navy, will we have to leave Dadan?"

At this point, Ace's face showed visible sadness.

Although he usually doesn't listen to Dadan.

But just as Dadan treated him like a son, he had long regarded Dadan as his mother.

He would definitely be very reluctant to part with Dadan.

Kyle glanced at him and said in a low voice:

"Who said that?"

"Why don't you join the Navy and bring Dadan with you?"

"This is a very simple matter!"

As he spoke, Kyle looked toward the door and called out:

"Right? Aunt Dadan! Stop eavesdropping! If you want to listen, come in and listen openly!"

Bang! !

As soon as he said this, the wooden door suddenly burst open, and Garp and Dadan's bodies crashed in at the same time.

Kyle's lips twitched slightly at the sight.

Is reality also subject to such awkward plots as those in anime?

The door would never be opened, but it suddenly opened in surprise when someone discovered it.

That's truly a classic!

Dadan got up from the ground with a slightly embarrassed look, while Garp, who was standing to the side, was incredibly thick-skinned and didn't seem to feel anything at all.

Instead, he gave Kyle a satisfied look.

This kid wasn't bragging; he really did get Ace and the others to join the Navy, just as he said he could.

He had said so many times before that Ace had always ignored him.

Sure enough, that's professional!

But where did this kid get so many Pele? Why don't we let him share some with me?

……
