Chapter 447 The Aftermath of the Pure Gold Incident

After hanging up the phone, Roy continued working.

however,

The aftermath of the pure gold incident lasted far longer than Roy had imagined.

Just three months into its expansion period, the port on Beehive Island began to bustle with activity.

At first, there were only one or two pirate ships that landed on the shore under the banner of "seeking to join".

The genetically engineered soldiers didn't take it seriously. They registered, questioned, and verified according to the rules, collecting what needed to be collected and sending away what needed to be sent away.

But later, more and more ships appeared.

From three or five ships to a dozen or so, and from a dozen or so to dozens of ships.

The port was almost overflowing with cargo, and a large number of masts floated on the sea, densely packed like a forest.

The people on the ship were a diverse bunch—there were pirates, bounty hunters, wandering swordsmen, lone wolves, and even a few former navy soldiers.

There were all sorts of opinions, with people clamoring to join the Roy Pirates.

"Captain Roy! I come from the North Blue! I've traversed the entire Grand Line! Please take me in!"

"I've been in the new world for ten years! I've seen it all! Taking me in is definitely a good deal!"

"I have a bounty of thirty-five million! My skills are absolutely sufficient!"

The port was as noisy as a vegetable market.

The genetically engineered soldiers were completely bewildered.

They did want to leave, but there were too many people, and the other party was quite polite.

They don't fight or make a fuss, they just shout. You can't just kill them all, can you?

When the news reached Roy's ears, he was stunned.

What's going on?

When I went outside, the harbor was packed with ships, and the shore was teeming with people, stretching as far as the eye could see.

"Boss, what do we do?" Tesoro, who had already returned, stood beside him, also looking bewildered.

What Roy didn't know was that the pure gold incident was now known all over the world.

The strength that the Roy Pirates displayed during the Pure Gold Incident is what truly attracts these people.

He single-handedly fought nine members of the Knights of God, and even the three emperors couldn't do anything to him. The Navy suffered a setback in front of him—which pirate wouldn't be envious of such strength?

Everyone knows the saying, "It's good to rest in the shade of a big tree."

Looking at the frenzied crowd, Tesoro couldn't help but say, "Boss, why don't we take them all?"

Barrett happened to be returning from outside when the warship docked. He jumped off the ship and saw the scene, and was stunned for a moment.

"So many people are coming to seek refuge?"

He walked over to Roy and said casually, "Since they want to join, let's take them all! There's strength in numbers!"

Hawkeye returned, and the warship silently docked. He glanced at the men and said calmly, "This is not appropriate."

Barrett glared at him: "What's wrong with that?"

"Who knows if there are any spies planted by the World Government or other forces inside?"

Hawkeye remained expressionless.

"Accepting it all is tantamount to inviting a wolf into the house."

Barrett paused, scratched his head, and said, "That's true..."

Tesoro fiddled with the gold coin in his hand and laughed, "What are you afraid of?"

With the boss and the Red Earl's Observation Haki, how easy would it be for those spies to infiltrate?

He's right.

Roy's Observation Haki was already strong, and it improved even more after the Pure Gold incident.

Red Earl is a veteran powerhouse with unfathomable mastery of Observation Haki.

With the two of them working together, not only would ordinary spies be unable to hide, but even if CP0 came, they wouldn't be able to escape.

The Red Earl, leaning on his cane, nodded with a smile: "Tezzolo is right. Those people who want to sneak in will have to get past me first."

Everyone nodded in agreement, finding it to be true.

Roy pondered for a moment before making a decision.

"Acceptance is fine, but screening is required."

Barrett grinned: "That's more like it!"

Roy beckoned to a genetically engineered soldier captain: "Go, take all those people to the training ground."

"yes!"

Soon, the pirates who had been clamoring to join were gathered together and marched in a large group toward the training ground.

There were so many people that the procession stretched for miles, drawing stares from the islanders along the way.

The training ground was originally quite large, but it was packed with people all at once.

Roy stood on the high platform, looking down at the dark mass of people below.

The people who saw him instantly erupted in excitement.

"Captain Roy!"

"It's the Heavenly Emperor! He's much more handsome in person than in the bounty poster!"

"Captain Roy! Take me in! I'm willing to serve you!"

"Me too!"

The sound waves came one after another, making people's ears ring.

Roy raised his hand, and the entire room fell silent instantly.

"Want to join Beehive Island?"

"Yes!!!" The shout almost shook the training ground.

"Can."

The entire venue erupted in cheers once again.

"But—" Roy's voice boomed over everyone, "there will be a selection process."

The crowd stirred, but quickly quieted down.

"The first challenge—"

Roy turned to look at Yamato.

"Yamato, come here."

Yamato paused for a moment, then pointed to himself: "Me?"

"Conqueror's Haki, unleash it. Let's see how many of these people can withstand it."

Yamato's eyes lit up, and he chuckled as he jumped onto the platform.

She stood next to Roy, took a deep breath, and suddenly released her Conqueror's Haki!

boom--!!!

Dark red arcs of electricity spread wildly from her center, instantly engulfing the entire area!

That terrifying pressure pressed down on everyone as if it were a physical force!

Thump! Thump! Thump!

One by one, people rolled their eyes back and fainted, their bodies crashing to the ground, raising clouds of dust.

Those who barely managed to hold on were pale-faced, their legs were weak, and they were clenching their teeth tightly.

Yamato's Conqueror's Haki, while not on par with Roy's level, is still sufficient.

After all, she is Kaido's daughter.

Roy and Red Earl simultaneously activated their Observation Haki, enveloping the entire area.

Every trace of energy was within their perception.

Among those who fainted, some were simply not strong enough, while others... were faking it.

"The third one from the left, pretend to faint," Roy said calmly.

Two genetically engineered soldiers immediately rushed over and dragged the man up from the ground. The man's expression changed, and he tried to resist, but was knocked unconscious with a punch.

"The seventh one from the right has an abnormal fluctuation in Observation Haki."

"That fat guy in the back row, his heart is beating too fast."

One by one, they were exposed.

In just a few minutes, seventeen naval spies, nine CP undercover agents, and more than a dozen infiltrators sent by other forces were all dragged to the front of the platform.

Those people turned pale; some were still trying to argue, while others were begging for mercy.

Roy didn't even glance at them.

"Kill him."

A flash of light, and more than forty people died on the spot.

Blood splattered all over the ground, and the entire place fell silent.

Those who were still standing watched this scene; some turned pale, some trembled, but none dared to speak.

Roy glanced around, his voice calm:

"Honeycomb Island does not accept half-hearted people."

"If you want to stay, then behave yourself."

"If I find out that someone is betraying their own side—"

He pointed to the corpse on the ground.

"This is what happens."
