Undercover pirate, you can become stronger by killing enemies

Not far from the gathering place, a group of men in black had just finished weighing themselves and were counting the places for promotion.

"The first one is definitely the Unretreating Swordsman. He was loaded on Ship 5 and lived up to his name."

"The second place is Zhang Lie. After all, he was recommended. We can't let him lose his temper and ruin the assessment."

……

"The 20th place is Mary, who weighs about 4,100 kilograms."

The assessment supervisor said,"Okay, then go down and notify the top 20... people? Where's Zack?""

"Let me see." A man in black took a watch and flipped it over:"Zack is number 21."

"How is that possible! We have tested it, and the maximum load of Ship No. 2 is less than 4 tons, so there shouldn't be only 20 Marys." The supervisor didn't believe it at all.

At this time, two men in black said,"Some pirates put stones into the water and carried them around, and they carried a little more."

"…Wait a minute, let me think about it."

The supervisor ran to the side, took out his Den Den Mushi and dialed the number. It was connected immediately. Bellamy asked:

"The results are out, how are they?"

"Well, he came out, but Zach is ranked 21st, should he be eliminated?"

Bellamy didn't take it seriously:"This guy is following the rules completely, right? We left so many loopholes and he didn't catch them."

"To be eliminated?"

"Fortunately, she is ranked 21st, so she doesn't need to be eliminated. After all, she is a strong fighter and can be cannon fodder in the future."Bellamy thought for a while and said,"Expand the number of places to 21, and have one recommended. When announcing, give a hint, and everyone will understand."

"But doing so would make it an odd number. Isn't our fourth round match a one-on-one duel? Should we let him advance directly by a bye?"

"What do you think I did today? Rules that have not been announced are not rules and can be changed at any time. The fourth round of assessment will be changed to this..."

The supervisor returned to his original position, with a confident look on his face:"Don't worry, I have figured out a way, follow me."

A group of people came to the gathering place with their heads held high. Seeing these pirates with bounties of tens of millions looking at them, they couldn't help but feel a great sense of satisfaction.

The supervisor stood in the middle with his hands in his pockets:"Now I will announce the results of the assessment. The first place is Bu Tui Jianhao, the second place is Zhang Lie, and the third place... let me see later."

He took out a small piece of paper from his pocket and began to read them one by one:"...Zach is the 21st, and the above 20+1 people will enter the next round of assessment."

Zack's face turned very ugly on the spot. He turned his head and looked at the guys around him. To be honest, no one of them told the truth. Although he was shortlisted, this method made him look ugly.

The pirates were indeed dissatisfied. Someone said:"Isn't there 20 places? Why is it 21? Is it to let someone in alone?"

Zhang Lie followed suit:"Yes, yes, since it is an assessment, it must be fair and just, otherwise you can just make an internal appointment, why bother with an assessment, if you are a whore, don't set up a memorial."

Seeing that the scene was getting more and more intense, the supervisor directly admitted:"Of course the assessment is fair, there is indeed one person who was internally appointed, so we will relax the quota by one.""

""They are doing something shady and yet they say it's so open and aboveboard. The person who has been chosen should just quit if he has any shame." Zhang Lie glanced at Zack, but he felt something was wrong as he spoke.

He found that Zack's face suddenly became better, and all the pirates were looking at him. Turning his head to look ahead, the supervisor suddenly raised his head and whistled.

Zhang Lie thought about it and found that he was the one who was chosen:"Oh, that's okay."

At this time, a pirate suddenly sneered:"Who said just now that if you have any shame, you should just quit?" As soon as the words fell, Zhang Lie appeared behind him in an instant, and Onikiri slowly inserted the scabbard, and a large amount of blood spurted out of the pirate's neck.

"I am a man who values his reputation, so I will withdraw now."

Seeing this, Zach and his companions immediately came to the side of the Unretreating Swordsman and said,"It seems that you are going to fight here, so let's fight again!"

Zhang Lie looked over. He also wanted to test the depth of this guy. Just as he was about to make a move, he saw the Unretreating Swordsman suddenly flash away.

"I'm ranked first, I must have a brain drain to hang out with you guys who are ranked last!"

Zack suddenly froze while holding the axe, unable to figure out what was going on in this guy's train of thought:"Well, I think since everyone agrees, there's nothing wrong with it."

Zhang Lie couldn't help laughing when he saw this, and went down the stairs:"Does anyone else have any objections? If not, let's continue."

Looking around, the pirates didn't say a word. If they were fighting on the sea, they wouldn't be like this, but now it's just an assessment, and it would be a big loss to risk their lives. If they don't get selected, they can go back and continue to be their own captain, and there's no loss.

Seeing that the situation was under control, the assessment supervisor immediately came out from behind the tree again:

"Ahem, now the selected people are confirmed, and those who did not pass are still not without a chance.

The people selected in this assessment will form an affiliated pirate group. If you are willing to join, you will all be cadres. If you are not willing, you can leave now."

The pirates looked at each other, and none of the nine people who failed to be selected stayed. After all, as a pirate with a bounty of tens of millions, he did not come here to be someone else's younger brother.

This situation did not exceed the expectations of the supervisor. Zhang Lie glanced at them and did not pay too much attention to them. After all, as a natural type, Ajin had enough ability to keep them.

"Okay, now the remaining people are going to the next round, let me explain the rules." The supervisor opened another note and began to read:

"The fourth round is a fight, which mainly tests combat. This fight is not just about personal strength, but also about alliances, win-overs, and other means of gathering strength.

In this round of assessment, you can each choose an alliance, or if you are confident in your own strength, you can choose to fight alone.

I think you have already chosen your room, and your bounty orders are posted at the door with public information, so you can check each other's information and make your choice.

Tonight is a time for preparation. The assessment will begin at noon tomorrow. The venue is this central island, and it will continue until there are ten people left. However, you cannot kill or cause irreparable injuries, otherwise you will be disqualified."

"Report!" Zhang Lie raised his hand,"I don't think this will work. Fighting is inherently dangerous. What if the weak ones don't take the beating and accidentally die or get disabled? Or maybe they just refuse to admit defeat."

This time, Zach actually seconded the motion. After all, he wasn't a person with special abilities, and he was afraid of accidentally killing someone.

The assessment supervisor explained,"Don't worry, as long as the opponent admits defeat, faints, or completely loses his combat effectiveness, it's considered a failure. Throwing the opponent into the lake is also considered a win. Apart from that, there are no restrictions."

Zhang Lie complained,"This is called no restrictions. For example, except for the poor, everyone is rich."

The supervisor ignored him. This restriction was made specifically for him:"If there are no other problems, you can prepare for tomorrow."
