Life at sea passed by in repetitive days. On this day, the sun was shining brightly, and everything was as usual.
Suddenly, the sound of running footsteps broke the calm, only to quickly disappear. Inside Whitebeard's room, he was sitting on a massive chair at the moment. Bob sat beside him.
"Is Charlotte Linlin really that terrifying?" Whitebeard glanced at Bob and got straight to the point. A few minutes earlier, Bob had been fleeing across the Rocks Pirates' ship to escape Linlin's advances. After shaking her off, he didn't dare return to his own room.
Instead, he came straight to Whitebeard. For Bob, who was known as a monster due to his immense strength, to be chased by a division commander made Whitebeard find it utterly incomprehensible.
"Don't even mention it! She almost pinned me down on the bed!" Bob looked quite disheveled, panting as he spoke.
It wasn't from exhaustion. It was from sheer fright.
Bob had been sleeping soundly in his room when he was suddenly awakened by the sound of footsteps. Opening his eyes, good heavens! Charlotte Linlin was right there in his room, staring straight at him. Even with just his lower brain, Bob knew exactly what she intended to do next. Fortunately, Bob was agile and strong.
In the struggle, he managed to break free and fled like the wind.
"I think Linlin isn't bad looking, with a great figure and a pretty face!"
"Say, you're not into men, are you?"
Whitebeard's voice grew softer, lowering his tone as if afraid someone might overhear. His face was filled with an inexplicable smile!
"Get lost! I, Bob, am a straight man through and through!"
Bob cursed and quickly retorted.
If it were someone like Robin, Nami, or Hancock from the original story, if they were to force themselves on him, Bob might not resist. But Big Mom? Bob truly couldn't handle her.
Hearing Bob's indignant words, Whitebeard chuckled, his face full of disbelief.
"Don't worry! This stays between us. As brothers, I'll keep your secret!"
"Keep it my ass!"
"I really don't have that kind of preference!"
Bob was utterly speechless at Whitebeard's expression. Who would have thought that Whitebeard, with his thick eyebrows and big eyes, would think that way? On such matters, Bob couldn't afford to be careless.
If he were really thought to have special preferences, and if that got out, with so many muscular men on the Rocks ship, who knows how many of them might be gay? Just imagine! If the rumors reached their ears, Bob would be stared at by a crowd every time he walked. Just thinking about it made Bob feel a chill rising from his toes to the top of his head.
"Edward, are there any red-light districts around here?"
"For the sake of my reputation, I need to find some women to take care of me!"
Bob didn't explain further to prove his normal sexual orientation. Only concrete actions would suffice! And by doing so! Not only could he stay away from the Rocks ship and avoid Charlotte Linlin, but he could also experience the local customs of the pirate world and see if the women here had a unique flavor! This idea was truly killing three birds with one stone!
"Gurararara!"
"Of course, there's a place not far from our Rocks ship's route!"
"Over there, that kind of business is thriving!"
Whitebeard laughed, seemingly speaking from experience.
"Oh!"
"Quick, tell me about it!"
Bob's interest was piqued by these words, and he eagerly asked. After Whitebeard's detailed description, Bob gained a certain understanding of the location and customs of the place. It was essentially a place similar to a brothel.
If you had money, you could do whatever you wanted inside.
After Whitebeard finished his explanation, he didn't linger on the topic. He changed the subject and, after a pause, said, "Well, Bob, you're now a division commander."
"Have you considered properly building your own crew?"
Hearing this, Bob was momentarily stunned. It seemed he had never really thought about this issue before, probably because he had been too complacent. In the Rocks Pirates, each division commander could form their own faction. The purpose was to expand the pirate crew's strength through the commander's influence.
At the same time, it provided teaching opportunities for the team members, enhancing their overall level. Since becoming a commander, Bob had never properly managed his division. The last time he selected team members was when he had just become a commander. He chose about ten people who flattered him the most.
This resulted in his division being the weakest among all the teams. Not only were the numbers pitifully small, but the strength of the members was also weak compared to other teams, which were mostly composed of pirates with bounties over a hundred million.
It was really not impressive.
"Indeed! I hadn't really thought about this issue before!Since you've reminded me, It's time to plan the expansion of my team properly!"
Bob said slowly, very much agreeing with Whitebeard's suggestion.
"A good team can not only share more treasures in the future!"
"More importantly, it can also minimize the number of times you have to take action yourself!"
"you can't always personally deal with every provocation do you?"
"That would make being a commander quite dull!"
Hearing this, Bob's eyes lit up.
Right! Why hadn't he thought of making good use of this before?
With powerful team members, he could legitimately slack off. Assigning tasks directly to these team members would be too easy.
"You make a good point!"
"So... do you have any suitable candidates?" Whitebeard asked.
"There's Kaido!"
The first person Bob thought of was the future Yonko, Kaido. In terms of strength and potential, he was undoubtedly the best choice in the Rocks Pirates.
"Kaido!"
"He's not that easy to recruit!"
After hearing Bob's words, Whitebeard's eyes flickered slightly. Kaido's goal had always been to become a division commander. The difficulty of bringing him on board was imaginable.
"Hahaha! Where there's a will, there's a way!"
Bob laughed heartily and patted Whitebeard on the shoulder. He said confidently.
