Chapter 1: 1
In Hachinosu, the notorious base of the Rocks Pirates, a large number of ruthless pirates had gathered. This time, Shiki the Golden Lion was responsible for selecting new crew members. As he stood above the throng of eager and bloodthirsty pirates, Shiki's voice boomed over the crowd, "Let the bloodbath begin! Only those who survive until the end will be deemed worthy to join the Rocks Pirates!"
A deafening cheer erupted from the pirates below, their excitement palpable as the prospect of joining the legendary crew fueled their bloodlust.
Thousands of pirates clashed violently, each one fighting for the chance to join the infamous Rocks Pirates. Amid the chaos, Carzo Bloodfang stood calmly, surveying the carnage. He glanced at the fire elemental perched on his shoulder and said, "Ignis, you ready, buddy?" The fiery creature let out an excited cheer in response.
With a swift motion, Carzo grabbed Ignis and hurled him high into the air. The fire elemental slug transformed mid-flight, expanding and igniting into a blazing inferno. Ignis rained down fiery attacks upon the battling pirates, his body gleaming with a coating of Haki that made his flames even more devastating.
Watching the destruction unfold, Carzo smirked and said, "Well, let me get started too." He enveloped his own body in a shimmering layer of Haki, enhancing his strength and resilience. With fluid grace, he launched himself into the fray, using his formidable martial arts skills to dispatch pirates left and right, each strike precise and deadly.
One pirate shouted over the din, "Guys, let's take this guy out first!" Motivated by the promise of glory, a group of pirates, each with a bounty of at least 100 million berries, converged on Carzo.
Carzo smiled wickedly and taunted, "Bring it on, bastards!" In an instant, his speed surged, becoming a blur to the untrained eye. The pirates were no match for his enhanced abilities.
With lethal precision, Carzo's punches sent heads flying into the air, each strike more devastating than the last. The battlefield quickly turned into a scene of carnage as pirate after pirate fell before him. It took only a single punch to defeat each opponent, leaving a sea of fallen foes in his wake. Within moments, the once chaotic battlefield lay silent, all the pirates either dead or incapacitated by Carzo's unparalleled might.
Seeing the carnage unfold, Shiki laughed heartily and exclaimed, "What an amazing newcomer! I must bring him to my camp." He turned his gaze to Carzo and commanded, "State your name, boy."
Carzo stood tall, his demeanor unflinching. "Carzo Bloodfang," he replied, "and this is my partner, Ignis." At that moment, Ignis transformed back into his slug state and cheerfully waved at Shiki.
Shiki chuckled in surprise, "What kind of creature is this? This is my first time seeing one, and it even knows Haki!"
Carzo shrugged slightly, a rare hint of softness in his eyes. "I don't know. Ignis has been with me since I was little. He's my first friend."
Shiki's laughter echoed once more, impressed by both Carzo's prowess and the uniqueness of his companion. "Interesting! With strength and allies like that, you'll fit right in with the Rocks Pirates."
Amidst the aftermath of the battle, a booming laughter reverberated through the air. "Zehahahhah, what an amazing performance, boy!" It was none other than Rocks D. Xebec himself, the legendary pirate whose very name struck fear into the hearts of many.
Carzo stood respectfully, acknowledging the presence of such a renowned figure. "It's an honor to meet you, Rocks D. Xebec," he said with a hint of reverence.
Rocks chuckled, his imposing presence filling the space around them. "Good boy, you really have potential," he remarked, nodding in approval.
Then, with a curious expression, Rocks inquired, "Boy, what's your age? You look quite young."
Carzo met Rocks's gaze squarely. "I am 13 years old," he replied confidently.
Both Rocks and Shiki were visibly shocked by this revelation. "Boy, you're not joking, right?" Rocks asked incredulously.
"Why would I lie to you?" Carzo responded earnestly, his conviction unwavering.
Rocks scrutinized Carzo, searching for any hint of falsehood in his eyes. Satisfied with what he saw, Rocks's expression softened. "Welcome to the crew, boy. You will be a direct official member of the Rocks Pirates from now on." His words carried the weight of authority, sealing Carzo's fate as a significant addition to the notorious pirate crew.

[Host, congratulations on joining the Rocks Pirates!]
[Reward: Observation Haki {awakened}] [Special effect: X-ray vision]
With a smile of satisfaction, Carzo activated his newly acquired X-ray vision, a gift bestowed upon him by his induction into the Rocks Pirates. As the world around him shifted into a translucent view, he marveled at the clarity with which he could now perceive.
Looking at Rocks and Shiki, Carzo could see through their bodies, observing their internal organs with remarkable detail. The beating of their hearts, the flow of blood through their veins, and the intricate network of their anatomy lay bare before his eyes.
This newfound power was more than just a reward; it was a perfect complement to his Tai Lung template, enhancing his martial prowess by allowing him to anticipate and exploit vulnerabilities with precision.
Rocks observed Carzo's elation and smiled knowingly. "Snap out of it, boy. Don't be so happy to join my crew. You still have much to learn and grow," he advised with a tone of wisdom.
Carzo's smile didn't falter, his determination evident in his gaze. "Hahaha, please guide me, Captain," he replied respectfully, acknowledging the journey ahead of him.
Rocks nodded approvingly and then turned his attention to the task at hand. "Now, let's head back to base," he declared. With a gesture, Shiki activated his formidable ability, creating a powerful levitation field that lifted them effortlessly into the air.
As they soared back to the base of the Rocks Pirates, Carzo's mind buzzed with excitement and anticipation.
