Bab 29: Chapter 29
"Not right!"
"It shouldn't be like this!"
The old man suddenly realized, suppressing the panic in his heart for the time being.
He carefully compared the people in these two portraits.
After a while, he suddenly burst into laughter.
"Hehehe, yes, yes! It must be like this!"
"That Carnes who once slaughtered my hometown should have died long ago!"
"Even if he didn't die, over forty years have passed, and he couldn't possibly still be as young as before!"
"This is Carnes the Second! Or maybe the Third!"
In his words, the old man's gaze returned to the information in his hand.
"I didn't expect it. His descendants actually look so similar to him! I almost made a mistake myself!"

Meanwhile, on the Eternal Gale, where Carnes was located.
The severely injured and almost dying low-ranking crew members were restored to their original state and became lively again under the reversal technique treatment by Yuta.
As for the bandits occupying the island, at Carnes's command, they were completely eradicated without leaving anyone alive.
By noon, after everyone finished lunch.
The "Gale Emperor Pirates" set off on another journey.
Although only a minor scuffle occurred on this island, Carnes's influence grew significantly nonetheless.
It reached 437, which was quite remarkable compared to the increase during the battle with the Marines back then!
At the same time, after the incident where low-ranking crew members were almost killed, Carnes realized the importance of "communication"!
Obtaining a batch of exclusive Den Den Mushi phones was not a problem.
The issue lied in the rather complicated process.
Carnes had numerous crew members, and he intended to equip each of them with a Den Den Mushi.
To prevent a situation where they were separated and almost killed again.
However, acquiring a large quantity of Den Den Mushi phones was not something an ordinary person could easily do, especially for someone like Carnes with such a high demand.
Moreover, Den Den Mushi phones came in different types. Most commonly available ones were limited to a single island.
If the distance was too far, another type of Den Den Mushi was required.
And obviously, Carnes didn't have the time or energy to handle all of that.
That's when the role of the ship's spirit came into play.
On this afternoon, everyone from the "Gale Emperor Pirates" was depicting the emblem symbolizing their pirate crew.
Some drew the emblem on wooden boards, some on their weapons, and others on their clothes.
The moment the emblem took shape, it possessed the same "living characteristic" as the ship's spirit.
However, the ship's spirit remained as the ship's spirit and couldn't function as a Den Den Mushi.
It couldn't transmit the voices of others; it could only relay messages on their behalf. Nevertheless, its effectiveness was comparable to that of a Den Den Mushi.
Furthermore, even with a large number of crew members, the ship's spirit had no pressure at all.
After resolving the communication issue.
Carnes sought out Demiurge and discussed the establishment of divisions.
The division method was simple: dividing everything equally.
The captain of the First Division was Demiurge, and the members included 8 high-ranking crew members, 15 mid-ranking crew members, and 15 low-ranking crew members.
The captain of the Second Division was Yuta, and the members included 7 high-ranking crew members, 15 mid-ranking crew members, and 15 low-ranking crew members.
This was Carnes's original plan.
However, Demiurge expressed a different opinion.
He believed that Carnes should always have people around him whom he could call upon, and as the captain, he shouldn't personally handle everything.
Otherwise, their subordinates would lose their purpose of existence.
In the end, persuaded by Demiurge's arguments.
Carnes entrusted the establishment of divisions entirely to him.
Then, the night passed.
The next day, in the early morning.
When Carnes woke up from his sleep and arrived on the deck of the ship.
He found that all the crew members had gathered there, forming a large circle.
Within the circle, the sounds of intense fighting could be heard.
"What's... going on?" Carnes was puzzled by the scene before him.
At that moment, Demiurge, who was leading everything, also approached Carnes and explained.
"They are selecting the five strongest high-ranking crew members to serve you."
"Serve me??" Carnes looked confused.
Just as Carnes was trying to understand the situation in front of him.
The crowd that had gathered suddenly erupted in enthusiastic cheers.
"Cheers!!!"
Both Carnes and Demiurge instinctively looked toward the source of the sound.
"It seems like the selection is already over." Demiurge pushed his glasses and spoke softly.
Soon, the crowd that had gathered made way for a pathway.
Five high-ranking crew members walked out from within and respectfully greeted Carnes.
"Captain!"
Carnes was at a loss for words for a moment and instinctively turned to Demiurge, who stood nearby.
In addition to the establishment of the divisions, Carnes now had five followers by his side.
And they were referred to by other crew members as the "Captain's guards."
---
Several days later, in a certain sea area.
A peculiar-looking ship was sailing smoothly on the surface of the sea, just as usual.
At the mast, there was a pink sail with a pattern painted on it.
The pattern depicted a skull with pink straight hair.
And the appearance of this skull indicated that it was a pirate ship!
"Captain Bonney! A new bounty has been issued!" A man dressed in a Western cowboy-style outfit excitedly came to the deck with today's bounty poster.
Meanwhile, on the side of the deck.
There was a young woman wearing denim overalls, paired with a white short-sleeved shirt. She had long straight hair dyed pink, and her lips were adorned with heart-shaped lipstick.
At that moment, she was holding a slice of pizza and bringing it to her mouth.
Upon hearing the crew member's words, she turned her head and somewhat unclearly said, "Really? Let me see it!"
