Pirate: It’s not a phantom beast, it’s a phantom god!

Chapter 105 Cadre Trial
After getting the money, Oubei no longer cared about Osi's conspiracy against her. Anyway, she had obtained 50,000 Baileys, and now she only wanted to go shopping in the bookstore in town.

She has been staring at the "Guide to Gun Design" for many days.

She wanted to see how those damn old flintlock rifles that shot crude lead bullets could actually fire continuously!

With her status, she could just ask anyone for some money to buy it, or even borrow it directly from the bookstore, and the owner wouldn't dare to do anything.

But that's just her awkward personality. Asking her to ask for help is like torturing her.

As for the money she had robbed from Osi, she felt at ease using it, after all, it was earned through her hard work.

……

Speaking of La, this time she didn't just find a seat to sit down, but sat beside Kaido like King.

After all, it is a semi-formal banquet, so there are still rules to follow.

"Hey boys! Now... welcome our new companions!"

Kaido raised the wine jug in his hand, looked in the direction of Skepgate, and announced loudly to the pirates below.

"Oh!"
"Long live Boss Kaido!"
As Kaido finished speaking, the atmosphere of the banquet reached its climax.

Many old members of the pirate group were also excited. Seeing that the territory of the Beasts was getting bigger and bigger and the number of people was increasing, they had a sense of accomplishment.

After the cheers died down, Kaido continued to speak words that made everyone excited.

"Skepgate!"

"In the!"

Skygate, who was chatting with other old men from the Beast Pirates, heard Kaido calling him and immediately stood up to answer.

"You will be the fourth officer of the Beasts Pirates from now on."

"what?"

"me?"

This appointment was obviously somewhat unexpected for him.

Skygate didn't expect that he, a newcomer who had just joined and an outsider who joined as an affiliated pirate group, would be directly appointed as a cadre.

Although beasts have always been known for not caring about their origins but only considering their strength.

However, not only do I have problems with my identity and qualifications, but I also don't seem to be capable enough to hold a cadre position.

As far as he knew, the two former leaders of the Beasts Pirates, Burfat and King, were far stronger than himself.

There was also the little girl named La who killed John with one blow. Burfat believed that no matter how many of himself there were, they would not be her match.

This is the level of the three current cadres of Baishou. With their own martial arts skills, they are still a long way from the position of cadres.

[Is it to win people's hearts? Or...]
But before he could think about it any further, Wright beside him quietly pushed him from below, and Skepgate immediately came to his senses.

"Yes, yes! Thank you, Boss Kaido!"

"Wu la la la! Don't be so quick to thank me yet. It's not certain whether you can take this cadre position."

Skygate was stunned when he heard that, and then he looked around and found that many Beasts Pirates were staring at him with sharp eyes, including those guys who had just been arm in arm with him and acted very familiar with him.

"According to our Baishou's rules, all members of the group can challenge a leader on the day he is appointed, and the appointed person cannot refuse..."

"And if you lose, the cadre position will belong to the winner!"

This rule established along with the pirate group sounds quite unfair at first glance, and it is very likely that some unknown people will take advantage of it in the end.

But there are hundreds of beasts here!
If someone who lacks fighting power steals a cadre position, he will be hacked to death the next day.

At that time, Kaido would at most say something like "It's all your fault for being too weak, wuwuwu~".

Then he died in vain as if it were a joke.

Since the establishment of Hundred Beasts, only Jhin and Burfat have achieved the feat of defeating an entire group by themselves.

This is why the number of Beasts’ cadres is extremely small, but their strength is stronger than that of some overlord-level pirate groups.

As for pulling, she actually experienced it when she became a cadre.

But after looking at her from a distance, all the challengers chose to follow their body instincts and give up directly. This was achieved without her knowledge.

After all, brave men who dare to look directly at the sun are rare, let alone step forward to challenge it.

And now it was Skipgate's turn to face the trial.

"Scapgate, let me see if you have the courage of a cadre!"

[It’s not that simple after all…]
Upon hearing this request, Skepgate felt a little relieved.

After all, things with clearly marked prices are often the most reassuring.

Even if he wasn't a cadre, he would still have a certain say under Kaido thanks to his status as the captain of an affiliated pirate group...

However, Skipgate still wanted to get better treatment for his fellow pirates, and he also didn't want the name 'Fol' to be perceived as inferior. His eldest brother, Fol, was no less powerful than King and Bullfight!
"Okay! Who's going first?"

Scapgate stood up and looked around with burning eyes.

"me!"

Before everyone could react, a pink little hand was raised first.

"It's Sister Ossi!"

"Hey! Someone got there first. There's no hope now."

"If it's Sister Ossi, then there's no doubt about it."

"Alas~ Captain Taolong is hopeless again~"

When the surrounding pirates saw that it was Osi who raised his hand, they all cried out in regret.

The battle captain named Taolong clenched his fists several times but then released them several times.

[Hmm? This child... seems to be Miss La's sister?]
Skepgate looked in the direction of the sound and saw only half a head exposed on the table and a tuft of red hair swaying from side to side.

[This looks less than ten years old, right?]
Looking at the other person's height that was just above the table, Skepgate felt a little torn.

On the one hand, the other party is the sister of his benefactor, and still a child, so it is really difficult for him to do anything to her.

On the other hand, he had to hold on to this cadre position for the sake of his elder brother's reputation and everyone in the pirate group.

After much thought, Skepgate made up his mind.

[Um……]
[Sorry, my benefactor's sister~ I have my reasons for winning too!]
Skygate clenched his fists and immediately prepared to fight.

"By the way, I still remember the scene when Sister Osi punched Brother Burfat away!"

"Yeah, yeah, there was another thunder that blew up that Fogg and his ship!"

[ah? ]
[Hit, hit Burfat and smash Ferg?]
The pirates' chattering made Skepgate stop and his clenched fists loosen quietly.

Should I think about it again? After all, this cadre position is not absolutely necessary, and no one in the pirate group wants me to get hurt.

However, when he thought of everyone in the pirate group, Skepgate shook his head again and reaffirmed his belief.

[No, I can't back down! Even if she's really that strong, I...]
"I heard that Ferg is dead, haha!"

[......]
[But, but then again, she's my benefactor's sister after all. Wouldn't it be a bit inappropriate to be so ruthless?]
[After all, I can never repay Miss La for saving my life!]
[Besides, the other person is still a child~ Big Brother in heaven wouldn't want me to be like this!]
[Also, everyone in the pirate group will definitely understand me!]
[Yes! I will definitely understand.]
……

[Gomeen, Mina.]
After reconciling with himself in his heart, Skipgate raised his hand calmly.

"I think……"

"Oh right, I almost forgot about you two little brats!"

Kaido's loud voice directly interrupted Skepgate's French declaration.

"You two performed great service in the last battle. I'll give you both officer positions! Osiris, Obelix."

Although his tone revealed a casualness, Kaido rarely called the two people's full names, which had a sense of ritual like an announcement of an appointment to a prime minister.

You know, Kaido only heard La mention their full names once when they first met, but he always remembered them.

This carefree guy who is always drunk is surprisingly attentive to the people he cares about.

"Great! Who's going to go first?"

Full of confidence, Osi once again took the initiative to challenge for a fight.

Although her and Oubey's cadre status is an unspoken fact in the Beast Group, and they have indeed been handling the affairs of the group like cadres these days, the process still needs to be followed.

"Humph! Don't be afraid, everyone. He's only one person, and he might not be a match for so many of us!"

"That's right, everyone, come together! He might not be able to defeat us all before he runs out of energy!"

"There's no need to fight one-on-one against a quasi-cadre like this! Let's all attack together!"

Cadre assessment has never been a fair one-on-one duel, but a "war" where any means are used!
So, when Ossi got ready to fight the enemy seriously, the pirates rushed towards her like a flood...towards the Scapgate opposite!

"Haha! Go to hell, Afro!"

"Scapgate, I still haven't forgotten the hatred you gave me!"

"Waaaaaaa! I won't allow anyone in the Beasts Pirates to have a cooler hairstyle than mine! I'm going to shave your head bald!"

"Hehe! I love to fight!!!"

Ossi: “…”

Oubai: "Eating melon"

Skygate: "Don't come over here.jpg"
